Round 1 - Welcome to Greece

[Host Aras]

Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in playing this game. Here you will answer a few questions from the hosts and also share your thoughts on the game, the other players, and even just random stuff you'd like to share. After answering and getting some information from other players feel free to use this thread to update us on anything game and non game related!



1. Have you read and acknowledged the Confessional Guidelines?



2. How did you hear about this game?



3. Why did you select your survivor contestant?



4. Do you know anyone else that is playing in this game?



5. What type of strategy will you have coming into a new game in a new series?

[Yul Kwon]

1. Yep, I read all the Rules in that specific thread!
2. I heard about this game from one of the hosts, mister Aras!
3. I selected Yul because I really liked his gameplay style when he played, and I hope I can pull a somewhat similar game.
4. I'm not aware of anyone that I know at all.
5. I'm going to try to get to know as many people as I can...as I know twists happen often in these games, and I'll try to ready myself for any type of twist, by hopefully having strong allies on both tribes.

I'm a bit nervous about this game though, this is my first ORG per-say, and I'm afraid the gameplay won't be what I'm more used to (on Tengaged). But I'm going to obviously play my hardest and do whatever I have to in order to get far in this game! I know my personality can be really charming, and I can hopefully weasel my way through!

[Yul Kwon]

Just gonna update you guys on what's been going on the last 2 days.

Basically, I've been talking around my tribe, trying to get to know as many people as I could, to atleast have myself known as not an inactive, as well as try to make solid bonds. I think I made a solid alliance with Kass, we both seem to be on the same wavelength. Also Austin seems like a really cool guy, and I could see myself working with him, atleast for the first portion of the game. Kass and I have a plan to make a 5 person alliance, but we want to make it seem like it's not us who started it. We're thinking both of us, Austin, Candice and a 5th member, that way we'll have the majority vote for whenever we lose a challenge, if that's the case. Still need to talk to a few people to make it happen, but that's the plan

I also had talked to a few people pre-tribes, and I have a few allies that I really like on the opposing tribe, mainly Brenda, LJ and Brian. I feel like they're all on similar wavelengths as I am (and Kass as well), and I hope they can make merge, or tribe swaps will swing in our favor so we can team up! I'm a bit suspicious about Brenda however, she seems really over the top with wanting to work with me, I feel like it's a bit fake and she might be lying to me and/or saying the same things to multiple people. But I'm clearly going to let her think she's my #1 ally, and that way I can hopefully have her trust.

[Yul Kwon]

1) How do you feel in your tribe? Are you on the outs, or are you in the majority?
2) Who do you trust the most? Who do you trust the least?
3) If you won immunity last round, do you think you needed it to stay in the game?

I actually feel pretty good on my tribe right now! Since I last did a confessional, Candice and I had a nice chat, and we realized we're on the same page and we click really well! Also, Austin and I were chatting some more about a more solid alliance to create within the tribe, and he seems to be down with Me/Him/Kass/Candice, along with someone else who we haven't quite determined yet, but it seems like we're on the right track to making a core 4, with an extra vote! So, I feel like I'm in the majority right now, but I know how easily this game changes, so I'm always on my toes!

My line of trust on my tribe goes as so, Kass > Austin/Candice > Julie > Todd > Jay >Ciera > Tyson

No, I don't think my tribe needed immunity to specifically stay in the game, I feel like my tribe had an easy first vote with Tyson, and we still do, so long he stays in the game. Once he's out of the game however, then it's gonna be a little more interesting to see how things break down.

Also, to add on a little more, I'm still keeping my ties with a few key people from the other tribe, just incase something crazy happens, AND I KNOW IT WILL. I'm foreseeing a tribe swap either at 14 or 16 people left, or something like a double TC. I want to make sure I'm ready for all scenarios!

[Yul Kwon]

1) What was your reaction to the tribe swap?
2) How do you feel you will do in this new tribe? Have you been given new life, or are you in a bit of trouble?
3) If you went to tribal last round, how did you react when you found out who got voted off?

1. The tribe swap was unexpected. I was anticipating a twist soon though, and it was along these lines. Thankfully, I ended up with Kass and Candice...so atleast I'm in a safe position for majority. However, idols can easily come into factor and ruin everything.

2. It's a bit of a mix. I felt a lot safer pre-swap, but I still feel somewhat safe right now. But as things are moving along, talk about idols is messing everything up, and suddenly everyone is scrambling. It's gonna be one hell of a time...

3. N/A <3

And holy shit, why the hell did we have to lose the damn challenge by ONE POINT......especially with Jay not competing, that's what pisses me off so much, like if we could've tied, we would've been safe! Jesus this is so frustrating. Now Kass and I are scrambling and talking out scenarios (Candice isn't on atm, girl get ON). Seriously though, Brian has quite apparently talked to Kass, letting her know that Steph found an idol...but Brian didn't like ex-Athena, thus why he's trying to help us apparently. Even though I trust Brian, it's still kinda fishy and suspicious. I'm sniffing around to find evidence and trails of this, but none are found YET. Then Steph was talking to Kass earlier and told her that Ken had an idol, to throw our votes on her, so she could idol her way to being safe, knocking either Kass, Candice or myself out. Bitch, how stupid do you think we are, a pile of bricks? That shit ain't gon happen, sorry sweetcheeks.

THIS JUST IN, LIKE LITERALLY LIVE.

Okay, let me try to simplify everything to like a reasonable amount of text because this is crazy and I'm not spending 234239402342 minutes typing this. OK SO. Kass just heard from Brian, who heard from T-Bird, who heard from Steph, how to open the Ares temple. So Kass tried it out, it worked, she got in the temple, and it was empty, MEANING STEPH LITERALLY GOT THE IDOL. Bitch, we got YOU. Atleast we know she has it, and we can pin it on her. So now we know to vote Ken, but try to get Ken to either A) vote Steph, hoping it's his way out of this, or B) blab to Steph that we're "voting her secretly", thus forcing her to use her idol, and we'll get our way anyways by voting Ken. I'm so nervous going into tribal itself though, because I feel like Steph/Ken would both vote for me, and that worries me. I have no real ties with either of them, and that's a bit alarming, and I feel like I might get a vote or two at tribal, and with an idol floating around.....that may be enough to send me home.

[Yul Kwon]

Now as I have to cast my vote fairly soon, I'm starting to contemplate a few options that I have....some of which could lead to major upsets, and further myself a lot in this game. Here's my current 411 life alert dilemma :

A) Vote Ken with Candice/Kass, which will 99% lead to him being voted off, assuming Steph doesn't give him an idol/he doesn't have one himself
B) Vote Steph with APPARENTLY Ken (he told me he was voting her, that's his "only real option), which might cause a 2-2-1 vote, unless Steph votes Ken in return, which would make it 3-2. If it's 2-2-1 and Steph doesn't use her idol, we could take advantage and use the tiebreaker to vote her off, avoiding that whole crisis. And even if Ken DOESN'T vote Steph...there's still gonna be 2 votes Ken, 1 vote Steph, and the worst Steph/Ken could pull off is 2 votes on either Kass, Candice, or myself. In that case, the 2 who are safe would just tiebreak and vote Ken off.

However, I still want to talk to Candice & Kass about doing this, and neither of them are online, and this is stressfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

[Yul Kwon]

Crisis averted, talked to Kass, she already thought of B) as well and voted Steph, so I'll vote Ken so we have the split vote ready and hopefully we can get Steph to use her idol or get her out in a tiebreaker!

[Yul Kwon]

Here is my vote for this Tribal Council




Here is my bootlist, I'm assuming this is incase we have a tie...
WANT TO VOTE OUT IN THE EVENT OF A TIE THE MOST
Steph
Ken
Candice
Kass
WANT TO VOTE OUT IN THE EVENT OF A TIE THE LEAST

[Yul Kwon]

Thankfully, Agora went according to plan, the votes were in place, it was flawless. I even got a vote in the process, gotta love lying bitches like Steph! But she used her only, sad, little idol, what a shaaaaaaame! Looks like next time we lose, there's an obvious vote! Whoops, #sorrynotsorry!

[Yul Kwon]

1) You’ve spent a round on your new tribes. How do you fit in?
2) In the first round, we asked you who you trusted the most and the least. Has that changed? Who’s your closest ally, and who’s your greatest enemy?
3) What are your long-term plans in this game?
4) If you went to tribal last round, how did you react to the events that occurred?

1. I fit in pretty good on my tribe, I have Kass and Candice who are on my side, and I'm really happy it split in our favor.
2. Hm, that list is kinda similar, I have the same allies as I had beforehand, and I'm still keeping in touch with LJ, Brian and even Teresa a bit now. So even though ex-Ares will most likely merge with majority, I'll have options at merge, and people who would want to help me out, and I think that's pretty important.
3. Long term I want to have a solid F3 alliance, but I'm still unsure of who I want that to be with. I have a lot of allies that are still in the game, and once comes the merge, I feel like things will kinda develop by themselves. I don't feel like I'll need to force things to happen, people will kinda do everything for me, and expect me to do it with them. But obviously I'm only going to look out for myself as #1.
4. The events of last tribal went as according to plan, pretty much to the letter. I'm very happy with the result, Steph completely wasted her idol and now she's a sitting duck. Hopefully this tribal goes as easy as it should, leaving Kass, Candice and I in the tribe by ourselves without our "queen".

[Yul Kwon]

I'm at work at I literally get off exactly when the vote is due...is there any way you guys could photoshop my vote onto the voting parchement since I can't on my phone, or atleast like give me 20 mins to drive home and do it myself?

Just let me know what can be done, if anything...I really hope I don't get in trouble for being at work .

I'll check again near 8pm EST, but here's what I'm doing, if you can just put the name on the parchement for me.

Vote : Steph

List : Steph > Candice > Kass
From most wanted voted out to least.

I think I'll be okay this round, I know Kass and Candice trust me, but I haven't been able to talk to Candice in a few days, that worries me a bit...but we'll see!!

[Host Jeremiah]

I can do that Yul! don't worry about it

[Host Jeremiah]

Although I will most likely just end up putting your vote in without a parchment :L

[Yul Kwon]

1) The merge is upon us! How do you feel in this new tribe?
2) Who do you want to go home this round?
3) If you went to tribal, how did you react to who went home?

1 - I feel pretty good on this tribe! We've "merged" two core alliances within the first two tribes, basically putting myself, Kass, Candice and Austin along with LJ, Brian and T-Bird from the original other tribe, and we've formed a strong 7, and hopefully that will bring us far. I have a lot of closer allies, and I think I'll be okay...atleast for the time being.

2 - This round, since there is still 1 more pre-jury spot...I feel like it's only fair for Sabrina to go, as she has been really inactive lately, and everyone else deserves to make it. But I have my eye on Julie, she absolutely killed everyone in the puzzle last time, and that's really scary.

3 - Tribal went exactly as planned, Steph got out 3-1, and all I have to say is good riddance to that!

P.S. This round is a bit more boring due to an "obvious" vote going on.....or the clear lack of planning that is going on without me that you guys might be hearing and I'm not!! Vote coming up after this post.

[Yul Kwon]

P.S. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO OPEN THE STUPID DAMN TEMPLE FOR SO LONG HOLY SHIT IT'S FRUSTRATING...............................

But here's my list & vote
WANT TO VOTE THE MOST IN THE EVENT OF A TIE
Kass
Brian
LJ
Austin
Candice
Teresa
