:p i started writing but decided i wanted the op to not be a confessional!
~
first confessional!! this is all very exciting. my first time playing survivor!
within 15 minutes of game start aronis contact requested me on skype, then cody did too shortly after. had a bit of a chat with both of them. i told them both that i didn't see most of the latest season because i was busy with uni and aronis said it wasn't that great but cody recommended i watch it.
i had planned to ally with dan before the game started because he's also friends with FINN so i was glad to have him on coronado. we messaged me saying "we obv aligned right" shortly after the game started and i was like "of course". although i don't think he will be trustworthy further into the game, but i'm happy to work with him for now, until tribe switch/merge. he is a 'friends-with-everyone' type so hopefully i'm his 'best friend' for now >.> he asked about roping in shadow and cody too. i immediately agreed on cody as he seemed like a good person to work with and is bpc-approvedTM. though he was diplomatic when i asked if he was planning on joining up with jason when they were reunited later on and seems like a strategiser so i think he's one to watch out for. initially i wasn't sure if shadow would be trustworthy, dan said she probably would be early on but wasn’t sure about deep into the game. to be honest i think that’s true for everyone to some extent though!
i made a skype group for our tribe! dan and i did decide to form a MODALLIANCE power trio with shadow for now so i’m in a skype group for that too. we’re thinking cody for our fourth.
but after we’d decided that finn finallllly got online and he had allied with lld and jason. so finn and i are thinking it would be good if i could work with bernkastel somehow, seeing as she’s lld’s partner. kinda like a ‘we-keep-your-partner-safe-you-keep-our-partners-safe’ thing? and if we’re all still here at switch/merge i presume it would be helpful to already have indirect connections with players on other tribes.
yeah so from my point of view aronis is a bit out in the cold here :[
we’re allocating people to tasks for the challenge tomorrow in the coronado skype group. i don’t know which task i want to do, i’m not sure what i’d be good at and i also don’t have much of an idea of what the challenges will involve, apart from obvious ones like “word searches”! i don’t wanna mess up and then get voted out :(
looking at the full playerlist reck/daniel looks like the most dangerous partnership just because they’re experienced and knowledgable about survivor (the show and the forum game). although it might work against them that they have a reputation! who knows…
oh also shadow told me that she told bella about MODALLIANCE and bella was excited that i was in it! not sure if that’s actually genuine though! i’m really just saying i’d be excited to work with everyone at this point to be honest! but if bella does actually view me positively and has a genuine desire to work with me that’s another plus for later on.
i am solidly in with shadow and dan right now. though i’m trying to make it seem to cody like i’m most loyal to him. i told him about dan being "a 'friends-with-everyone’ type” and said that hopefully we’re (me & cody) are his 'best friends' for now :p and he replied that it’d be something to watch out for. sowing the seeds of paranoia…
i don’t fully trust anyone, and i don’t think i will at all throughout the game. well seeing as this is survivor i think it’d be silly to do so anyway. i most trust finn to take me furthest in the game, i think. in fact dan may view me somewhat similarly to how i view him, able to get along with everyone and therefore a threat. which might make him paranoid of me. i think he’d be ready to turn on me at the first opportune moment.
i need to decide how much information i want to divulge to each person. i want to tell them enough to gain their trust but not so much that they’ll wonder how close i am with others, if possible?
mm kind of feels like i’m just rambling right now so i’ll just post this ¬_¬

heh idk, i've looked it up before but i forget

so i noticed that the coronado tribe is staying at the "coronado springs resort" and the saratoga tribe gets to stay at the "saratoga springs resort & SPA"
unfair treatment! i want spa :(

i had a chat with bernkastel (also learned that her name is the name of the sister of lambdadelta in the series lld got the name from! which is cute). she asked me what i thought of our tribemates so far so i told her mostly honestly what i thought of them but left out the MODALLIANCE bit. i didn't mention before but aronis actually didn't talk about strategy or anything game-relevant in our little chat earlier. was he just waiting for me to initiate that so he didn't seem too eager or does he not want to align with me? or something else? hm... so then i asked bernkastel what she thought of the tribe.
she said;
- she has a bad history with shadow but is hoping they can put it behind them (sounds ominous)
- dan seems fun but people have warned her to be wary of him (to which i said he's kinda a friends-with-everyone type ¬_¬.... maybe i'll just tell that to everyone i talk to)
- cody seems new but cool, though she's worried about him if we have too many tribals (very similar assessment to mine but without paranoia glasses on)
- aronis is alright, a bit of a veteran (i was surprised since he didn't try to strategise/align with me, he wasn't taking much action.. but maybe it's just cos he's aligning with others i guess) and she gets along okay with him but they aren't that close
- obviously i'm the coolest person and she wants to F2 with me (MHM if u say so!)

she said she'd heard from a couple others that aronis was looking like the most likely first voted out of coronado (btw this tribe name is weird.. corodona? corona? coroner?) and asked me who i thought was most in danger. aaaand i think aronis is as well tbh! at least from my point of view, he didn't talk about the game with me which makes me think he's probably wanting to work with somebody else soooo why would i want him around when he's probably gonna vote for me sooner rather than later! though i feel kinda bad for him.. he was all like "this should be a pretty awesome game"! and everyone is like that in the beginning i suppose but eh. i don't want any of our tribe gone. let's just win immunity yeah woo

so tl;dr i might actually want to align with bernkastel as well as the MODS, possibly instead of cody? hm.. or maybe i tell all of them that they're my #1 and hope they don't talk to each other about what i've told them.... or maybe there's a more subtle way to get them all on my side. things to think about. bern is more charismatic i think (or maybe i just have good chemistry with her~), and cody seems more cautious. both of them are probably ready to turn on me ASAP though? am i just paranoid? paranoia is healthy. right? right?? i mean everyone aims to vote everyone else out, i just need to choose the right people to take me one step further and then take it from there.

also i don't know if idols are a thing actually. probably i guess? but where do you find idols. what are the equivalents of trees and rocks on a forum.....

tbh i only knew that finn, dan and jess were gonna be in this game :ermm:
i assumed i would work well with my good friend finnyboy because finn, lara... shark, lava.... you see where i'm going with this, right?
i assumed dan would be conniving and disloyal but would be fine to align with at the very beginning
was not really sure about jess, she seems like she'd be more trustworthy than dan? although if finn, me, dan, jess had a 4-way alliance i'd feel like the 4th wheel of a tricycle tbh. because finn's dan's LOVER and jess is dan's GIRLFRIEND and finn talks to jess a lot so is good buds with her!!

actually JUICY TIDBIT finn was originally gonna do survivor with dan but then jess wanted to play so finn asked me as SECOND CHOICE

also i haven't spectated any survivor games and didn't follow it at all before joining this game so i can't really answer the second q!

spencer, when he was the underdog! i won't be attempting to imitate any particular player's play style from tv. i don't know the show well enough to do so anyway! i've seen like 1/3 of the seasons i think.

What do you think is something each person in your tribe / your blood partner could be doing differently socially/strategically to be in a better spot this game? If you could go through each person individually that would be great, if even just a sentence about each ty!

Aronis: STOP UNIRONICALLY SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP I'd say he's in the worst spot of anyone on Coronado at the moment, as most everyone I've talked to seems happy to vote him out (barring any developments) when we have to go to tribal. He hasn't tried to develop trust with me, and as far as I can tell he hasn't been working very much on the other tribe members either? Maybe (wait I just realised I'm using capital letters...that's weird) the others I've asked about him are just keeping their trysts with Aronis secret but somehow I doubt it. So to be in a better spot Aronis should be talking to me and others and trying to develop trust and probably an alliance (or alliances ;) ). He also said he wasn't bothered whether he competed in the next challenge or not (involving Reality TV Knowledge) which doesn't really help his case. If he's not an asset in challenges and doesn't appear to want to work with me, for sure I'm gonna vote him out.

Bernkastel: I think she is also in a less-than-optimal position, but at least I feel like she's willing to work with me. When I expressed my relief that we didn't lose the Immunity Challenge she gave profuse assurances that I was in no trouble at all, and everyone she had talked to said I was cool, but I think she went overboard a bit in trying to make me feel safe. Which kinda nags at me, so I'd say if she didn't try so hard in that regard she'd feel more natural and less suspicious. Dan also said she was asking too many questions and seemed kinda desperate which parallels my feeling about Bern.

Cody: He needs to talk more. Yeah. I think that's it. Oh maybe I'd trust him more if he divulged some secrets. That too!

Dan: I would say he's doing pretty well overall from my perspective, forming MODALLIANCE with me & Shadow right at the beginning. Although on that note he did mention that he might prefer to vote out Bern or Cody than Aronis as people won't want to work with Aronis so he won't be a threat to keep around. BUT, to me that's Dan saying "I will keep Aronis around longer than I will keep you around, because he's less likely to win than you, Lara" so hrmph. MODALLIANCE will probably crumble after a vote or two (though by then it would almost just be us three, so of course it would have to crumble if we need to vote out one of the members). Also, he's letting on a bit too much that he's talking to everyone quite a lot, mentioning things in passing that they've told him, things like that. Confirms to me that he's working everybody over and instils distrust of his loyalty! So if he were better at disguising his FRIENDS-WITH-EVERYONE-ness I think he'd be in an even better spot.

Just realised four of our tribe members have names starting with A, B, C, D. heh.

Lara: Perf, never change ^_^

Shadow: More innuendo and brainless love slugs.

~

Finn: Just go full JAWS on all your tribemates duh! He doesn't seem to be talking with Jason/Lambdadelta about who they plan on voting out when the time comes.. Which seems kinda important? He did say the others told him they had a couple challenge beasts on their tribe so they wouldn't have to go to tribal anytime soon and didn't have to worry about who to vote out. But c'mon, surely they'd talk about it at least SOME... I think if they're telling Finn they aren't thinking about who to vote out they're most probably talking about it with someone else. I talked to Bern and Cody individually and told them that Finn was aligned with their partners. B&C both replied that their partners hadn't mentioned it, but then asked their partners and they "confirmed" the Finn/LLD/Jason thing. Which is a bit suspicious. He needs to watch his back. Maybe be a bit less laissez-faire.

alright so some things happened

Bern asked to form an alliance with me and Dan! We accepted, of course. It shall hereafter be called APA. I do like Bern so being deceitful by playing both sides is :( but it's Survivor, that's the game.

Dan ALSO told me that Cody wants to work with him and me! :3 :3 :3

I think that means the ol' psyduck and lalaladucks are in pretty good positions right now? Dan suggested that everyone loves us but it might be because others think we're manipulatable.. muahaha. He also told me again I'm his #1, and I replied I bet you say that to EVERYONE. But he claims he only tells that to me and Jess. This remains to be seen.

He also warns that xofelf-radja-bella-shadow are a dangerous group and will probably be solid if they're united.

~was gonna write more here but then i got distracted and it's been sitting in a tab here for over a day so i'll just post this now~
