I'm making this cuz my confessional thread is locked. These mods man I swear. Game started at a stupidly early hour, like 2AM or something godawful. It's 4 now, I'm gonna head to bed after this update. Current PM counts: Eldin 4 Colin 15 Medli 2 Princess Ruto 9 There's like a non-aggression treaty (aka no voting) between Colin, Eldin, Ruto and I called the Early Bird Pact. We four were the only ones of our tribe on when the game first started, so uh yeah. The Pact may or may not evolve into something bigger who knows... given the size of these tribes it wouldn't surprise me that much, people are gonna need protection quick. That's basically the only big news so far but things are super early so it's nice to have something actually game-related to talk about. None of these people are the boring one-liner types I've encountered in the past, which isn't terribly surprising given how picky the mods could be. I wouldn't expect very many if any of those to make it in the game. BTW, why the fuck does everyone in my tribe have the same damn name. Eldin, Colin, Medli, fuck sake. I think I'm way outclassed this game because of how many people applied to it. Not entirely sure why I was picked above some of the others. This is only my second game, my first was that crazy ass Doctor Who one that just finished, and if this one is stocked with tons of even better players than that one I dunno if I have any shot in this at all. Other tribe has alot more people on/activity. Agitha seems like a big personality, creating her own public thread and being super active in it. I'm hoping their activity level doesn't indicate they'll be super challenge focused or something. What else. It's 4 AM ugh. Forum skin is fantastic, really like the look. Don't like that both tribes have super similar colors, makes it hard for me to tell them apart. Uh. need sleep zzzzz |

Zelda and Auru both came online after I fell unconscious. Boo. Come on guys surely you knew I was active with my name plastered all over the place. I have a feeling these giant tribes aren't going to last too long. I gave it some thought and decided the most likely scenario is we'll go through 3 rounds this way, get down to 21 people, and then split into 3 tribes of 7. With this many people there has to be some intermingling at some point and that seems like a good time to do it. If you wait much longer than that, you may end up with super lopsided tribes if one is really dominant over the other challenge-wise, which would make any kind of swap/merge scenario really unfair to the one who's lost a bunch of people. I'm still getting along with everyone (including Eldin now) pretty well. It's difficult when there's little to talk about really, and the challenge is Sunday freaking evening so there won't be for quite some time unless super random retarded drama pops up. |

ALSO Huge ass tribes. I want people to remember this name. Like. "Hey that Dampe fellow is funny. I wanna be friends with that guy." Fostering cross-tribal synchronizations man I'm survivoring so hard right now and people don't even KNOW. ALSO ALSO I'm running on 3 hours sleep and questionable decisions are no longer questionable. In other news a couple other people have messaged me yay. Nobody sticks out yet as annoying first boot material boo. Maybe the Skull Kid is a dud he just got on. In further news I'm being "obvious" which I mean idgaf hello everyone watching from TV land. |

PM count update: Auru 3 Colin 16 Eldin 11 Medli 6 Midna 5 Princess Ruto 15 Skull Kid 1 Zelda 6 So I did PM everyone in the Pact just to make sure we were all on the same page - just us 4 for now, not a full-blown alliance etc and I THOUGHT we were good but then Ruto said "Since we have an alliance <other stuff>" and now I'm like whaaaa happened. So uh, hopefully nothing comes up as a result of that. I'm p sure it's not wise to do full alliances yet. Eldin (fav so far) and I discussed all this earlier and agreed that keeping it smaller and casual is probably best. I figure if we hit TC then we'll probably look at what we have and make it a full-blown thing just to keep safe. I made a good impression on Midna. Midna: Hey, I'm Midna. Want to dig some graves together sometime? Me: HI I'm Dampe and I like warm hugs. Yes I'd love to build a graveyard sometime but it doesn't have to be a graveyard. Ok bye! Midna: OMG I can't. I'll be back after I regain my composure. BWAHAHAHAHAHA #SocialGame |

My initial PM to Link, who didn't bother to PM me despite being online for quite a while when I was not: "Ok ok, let me explain. You're the hero right? The hero of time, the hero of destiny, whatever you want to call it. And heroes have to have trials don't they? You wouldn't call someone who just walked unchallenged into an empty castle, opened a door, and escorted a princess out a hero would you? Of course not, that's like... a porter or a delivery guy or something. No, a true hero is defined by the challenges he faces and of course overcomes. These challenges define him and his legacy, be they challenges of wit or skill or strength or what have you. So really, all those stupid races I made you run - those were to help shape your legacy! I was helping you man! You're not mad are you?" His response: "Sha! Hiya!" Ahhhhhh there's that first boot I've been looking for. Also Tingle (again, not bothering to send an initial PM) sent a one-liner response to me and a couple people have already commented on his antics in the forums. SO hurray for meatshields. |

Saria's Chat![]() Hello young creatures of the Forest! As your local Sage of the Forest, it is my job to keep order and tabs on you guys (I think). So please, don't be hesitant to elaborate on the questions I'm asking you! I anticipate your answers! 1. The game is barely rolling along, do you have a plan of action now that you've had some time to meet your tribe mates? 2. I understand 12 players is a lot to sift through at the beginning of a game! Go ahead and pick 3 of your favorites, and tell me why they are your favorite. 3. Do the three listed above also claim the title of one of your allies? If not, who does? That's all for now! But rest assured, I'll be back later! |

1. The game is barely rolling along isn't it. My plan coming in was to a. Start looking for some key relationships early; and b. Start looking for one or two easy early boots I feel like the extended time waiting for a challenge to happen has slowed that a bit but I have made progress on both. I'm in the Early Bird Pact, as you guys know, and given the size of the tribe I see that developing into a full blown alliance sooner rather than later. I'm also rather fond of Princess Zelda. None of the others have really distinguished themselves so far from an alliance partner standpoint, which is kinda weird, maybe I'm just overwhelmed by numbers. On the goat front we have Link and Tingle, both of which have succeeded admirably in rubbing people the wrong way. 2. You're darn right it is. Hmm. A top 3 is really difficult and I still haven't heard from Vaati but a. Colin - I like this guy quite a bit. We've started a kind of gif war in our PMs. Haven't done much game talk yet, it's all been fluff, but it's been pretty good fluff. b. Zelda - Zelda and I hit it off well right off the bat. I think she appreciated the bit of roleplaying I was willing to do and I also think I surprised her by sounding more intelligent in PMs than I had in public. Example: - public: "please post applications here thank u good luck to all contestants" - PM: "Your Majesty I regret to inform you I cross-messaged with Princess Ruto. I beg pardon for this grievous error in etiquette and pray this does not damage relations between our peoples. A result perhaps of spending a bit too much time among those to whom such societal niceties are less important." On her end she writes really nice, detailed PMs and has been willing to talk about our tribesmates a bit. I think she's the one I'm having the easiest time conversing with. c. Midli - I rather like this guy. We breezed through the initial opening bullshit pretty quickly and got down to down to game stuff. I appreciate that he's been willing to share his thoughts about other players in the game. We've even shared a couple Link and Tingle PMs. 3. I haven't struck alliances with anyone yet though I'm starting to feel the pressure to do so. I very softly hinted to Ruto about making the Pact something more substantial, more gave her an opening to let me know her thoughts, we'll see what she says about that. I think I'd like to make an alliance offer to Colin separately at some point, I think the two of us could go far. I'd also want someone outside that group, probably Zelda. |

Gongoron's Gimmicky Groupthink First of all, congratulations on making it here! We can't wait to watch you as this season progresses. Let's discuss a few things: First, how are you settling in? Are you enjoying everyone's company? Next, how do you think people see you? In short, do people generally like you? Hypothetical question: if everyone were to post a ranked list of who they liked most to who they liked least in the tribe, where would you fall on that list? Why? Are you ok with this going forward? |

Thanks for the welcome! 1. I'm settling in ok. I'm having trouble keeping up with PMs. So much so that I keep forgetting to PM Vaati even though I've thought to do it a dozen times by now. You guys are priority #1 though. I'm enjoying the company of most of the rest of the crew, and I'm liking that the public threads are pretty active so I can interact a bit with the other tribe. 2. That's a good question, I'm not entirely sure. Initial impressions of me are probably either "funny" or "annoying". There hasn't been time to build up trust yet so unless I'm recognized by others (entirely possible, I'm not trying very hard to pretend I'm someone I'm not) then I doubt anyone sees me as potential ally yet. Total guess but I think there's more people in the "funny" camp than the "annoying" camp. 3. I'm assuming you'd average all those responses out in this hypothetical scenario. I'd fall somewhere in the top half most likely, though I sincerely doubt I'd sit at the very top. And I'd be content with that sure. I'm not looking to be everyone's best friend, that's just impossible and would just make me a target I think. |

I know you guys don't have jury votes but it's a gaaaaaame it should be entertaaaaaaaining. Most mediocre. Hum. I think I'd bestow that particular honor on Auru. He's a super middle of the pack conversationalist for sure. Not particularly funny, or engaging, doesn't really bring up anything new, yeah. All hail Auru, Lordling of Mediocrity. PM Update: Auru 12 Colin 21 Eldin 14 Link 5 Medli 10 Midna 16 Princess Ruto 21 Skull Kid 11 Tingle 3 Zelda 11 Link's last PM was, and I quote "Uh huh". I have no idea what I did to this guy but he clearly dislikes me and I think I'm just going to leave things there. Tingle is a Tingle and hard to talk to with one-liner PMs that are just trying to be funny but most of the tribe dislikes him so I don't expect him to make it past our first TC. Vaati still hasn't PMed me even though I sent him something earlier today. I'm enjoying everyone else. I'm also still feeling that alliance pressure but ugh I honestly have no idea who to offer one to. I get the feeling people aren't really wanting to do those yet. |

i dont think ive visited before!!! hi a) rank your tribe members from "most want to vote out" to "least want to vote out" b) IF you go to tribal, BEFORE you begin negotiating votes, AND DISREGARDING practicalities (i.e. ignore if you'll never get the votes, if you need to vote strategically, if you can't see a way to convince people of it), do the same ranking again asking for a friend |

Welcome Purple Link! Why are you purple? o_O a) I think I'd go with this list: Link Vaati Tingle Auru Skull Kid Zelda Medli Midna Princess Ruto Eldin Colin b) Modified to this list: Skull Kid Midna Zelda Medli Princess Ruto Auru Link Vaati Tingle Eldin Colin But I'd be very sad about it. |

I'm workin hard man I want LOTS OF SPECTATOR INTERACTION ILU GUYS PLZ DON'T GET BORED If I'm understanding your second question, you're basically asking me who the biggest threats are. So I put those at the top because I'm not aligned with them in any way. Guys like Tingle and Link are great to keep around late as they don't tend to be threats and are easy to remove whenever you need to them be. DISCLAIMER: This is my 2nd game I still don't know wtf I'm doing >_> |

Nah, I don't think so, it doesn't seem terribly useful. It'll probably just be used a couple times to troll someone and then left on the shelf. |
