Episode One Confesh

[Ryan]

I DON'T NEED YOU OR YOUR BRAND BENZZZZ

OR YOU BOUGEY FRIENDSSSSS

I DON'T NEED NO STANK ASS BITCH NOAH ON MY TRIBEEEE

NOAH ON MY TRIBEEEE


Muthafucka! That was rude, like I was offended. I mean, I've played a game with Noah! Once! And he was in it for like... 6 days! I think! Wtf! how could he NOT pick my tribe? What a stank ass ho, for real. Fuck him and his green tribe. And I'm sad that Andii didn't get in cause I actually KNOW her, but I'm excited to be on the same tribe as Britti. I think I can definitely work with her.

As far as first impressions go, I realize some of my tribemates are using their last names but for the sake of the game I'm going to pretend like they're using them as real names... And in that case, those names are fucking dumb.

I want to work with Britti and Sharonica and I think I can definitely pull it off. Dantz is a little bit annoying but I think he'll be a smart person to try to team up with early on, I'll really have to play it by ear though because he's not someone that I'd typically team up with so it'll be interesting to see how it all goes. I have to get signed onto skype or AIM or stuff and start figuring things out cause at this point my tribe is probs like "WHODAFUCK is dis bitch" and I'm gonna be Janu circa Koror just like crying on the beach miserable for an inexplicably large amount of time because the other tribe fails?

I DON'T KNOW. ALL I know is it's devastating that I wasn't put on the same tribe as the tranny. For real.

[Ryan]

Okay so the initial shock has NUMBED ITSELF. jk fuck this shit.

Anyway, I'm actually liking my tribe! And by my tribe, I mean Drew & Britti! WOO! Well, Sharonica isn't bad, she's kind of like watching a train wreck in slow motion, but that's ENJOYABLE so I'mma try to keep her around if I can.

But seriously, this casting decision to put all of us on the same tribe was hilarious. Good work guys. Now I know what "Skullfuck on Ice" would ever look like if it became a nationwide hit. Thanks.

So Gibson is like... ... Well I'd say he's beyond help, but we have Jared, so that would be repeating myself for two different people. Maybe they're twins separated at birth. I never knew it would take so long to explain what the fuck a moving image is. Isn't that self explanatory? IT FUCKING MOVES!

My gosh. At LEAST Drew and Britti get me, which is awesome. Already I know they're the kind of people I'd want to work with along the way. I think Britti will always maintain a bit of a bigger target than I will in some ways, not all, and Drew is definitely already going for an under-the-radar type of thing, which is okay, I can appreciate that. Definitely wouldn't let him make it to the end with me though, if I'm the one willing to take the hits then I'm not going to just hand someone a win in a game either, duh.

But I like them both, they're very funny. I'm not going to let Drew know how close I'm growing to Britti, but I'm not afraid to let Britti know that I'm getting along well with Drew. Our strategy right now is to form two separate alliances and control the votes that way, dodging suspicions etc. etc.

For the first challenge, it's pretty simple. My goal is to do everything without seeming like I want to. I'm going to notice all the slack that's there, and help out where I can. Like making a thread so we can share our ideas - Any moron could have done it, but it turns out Gibson and Jared must have been sleeping so I got the first go on that one. Woo! So now people look at that and go "HEY, Ryan's helping out a lot!"

Similarly, we've had like 17 people volunteer to photoshop it and then not do a fucking thing... Cool. So that's where I step up and go "Hey, I'm already making the animated part. Why don't I do everything else TOO!?" and then everyone goes YAY RYAN, I either lead us to victory and get to take credit for that all game, or we lose and nobody in their right mind would vote off the guy who actually tried compared to the rest of the people who sat there with their thumbs up their butts.

Maybe that's why Gibson and Jared aren't contributing, they're too busy having happy hands.

As for everyone else...

Kelman - zzz

Dantz - Eh, he's okay, I can get along with him well enough but he's definitely way too into himself. I can just tell from talking to him. He's one of those people that's like "LOL I'M SO FUNNY AND I'M GONNA TRY TO BE FUNNY SO THAT I COME ACROSS AS FUNNY" and you're just like "... ... ... *smiles and nods*"

Okay if there's anyone else on my tribe that I didn't mention, then I either didn't notice them or don't remember them. NOT A GOOD SIGN. Hopefully that will change because Tony seems like he has a personality unlike the Happy Hands Club.

[Ryan]

Ugh *Falls over* Tonight was ridiccccc. Okay so the challenge only took me like 2-3 hours, all I was really expecting it to.

It was just sorta crazy though. The tribe was all like sort of trying to step up and then they'd step backwards. That was a little annoying. It's like, if you're gonna step up, at least deliver or follow through or something. So I put my butt on the line and legitimately did everything for the challenge lmao. NO BIG, like don't mind me, I'll just win us immunity.

but, I am actually really proud of how it looks and stuff. And my idea to make it an animated gif totally came to life and it looked decent enough. I'm just glad it gave us more of a canvas to deal with than just the 400x200 space, without breaking the challenge rules. GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX YALL.

But what drove me really nuts was my tribe (mostly like Dantz and Tony) were busy trying to play freaking nutzybolts while i"m working on the challenge. I get it, you're trying to bond, but at least don't invite me to the game while I"m working on our challenge. That was sort of ridiculous. I'd rather like... Get to chill and stuff after we at least get our challenges done. And now I'm worried because if these morons are playing nutsybolts and bonding while I'm actually doing work, who do I even have on my side besides Britti and Drew? MAYBE Sharonica but even then, that's only 4. And I need more than 4.

I don't like the idea of it but I need to try and see if I can get Kelman to strike up some kind of a deal with me. He doesn't seem like a go getter so it might be smart to get him in my good graces while I can. By all logic, my tribe should want to keep me around cause I helped a lot in this challenge, so basically I just need to figure out the right people to take out when we do lose so that the people who I get along with the most can help further my game.

I've basically gotta talk to Drew and Britti tomorrow to make some headway through all this garbage. BUT I'm glad our challenge is DONE because it's just one thing down and one less thing to worry about. So far though, I think my "physical" game is definitely going great, my social game is pretty decent, I just want a tighter bond with a couple more people. It'll get there once I get around to getting on skype and stuff though.

WOO!

[Ryan]

Shocker on fucking shock street. I single-handedly Skorin won the challenge.

You know I'm a little annoyed just because like, I didn't genuinely want to do the whole thing by myself. I wanted to just say "Hey, an animated image would be cool, it's not outside of the rules and it gives us way more space to work with." And about 4 different people were like "YEAH I'm okay at photoshop", everyone seemed reluctant about it but other people stepped up.

And 10 hours later not a fucking thing was done, so I have to be the one who doesn't just give the creative idea that was bound to win it for us, but puts all the images together, and everything on top of it.

No, it wasn't perfect, but it was like really frustrating that nobody had anything else to contribute. Not creatively. Not organization-wise. Nothing.

If we did lose, I know the first motherfucker to try to put my name on the parchment would have been out of here. Because I was the ONLY motherfucker who put their ass on the line. The only one who tried. The only one who stepped up and then DIDN'T just back down like a bitch.


I'm glad we won, but I'm not glad i have to deal with some of the other people on my tribe. Mostly Gibson. I've tried to say Hi to this douchebag like 4 times and he never responds, but I KNOW he's on. And he's talking to other people. Like what the fuck. At least give me some sign of life you fucktard.

It's just FRUSTRATING. But I'll put on my happy face, continue to make some headway with Drew/Sharonica/Britti, and go from there. I talked to Jared today and hopefully he would be someone smart to work with. No I don't trust him at all, and hell, I don't even really know much one way or another if I like him or dislike him, but at least i've had a more meaningful convo with him than I have Kelman, Dantz, Tony, or Gibson, and I don't trust any of those guys (I don't think Kelman is a threat in any sense though and I don't expect that he'd try to pull anything).

It's just a weird game, so far, is all. I think Drew is much smarter than he lets on, but I think that works in my favor because I do think he's on my side more than anyone else. By him working with me, I'm the bigger target automatically because I've already proven myself to be good when it comes to challenges. There's not really much of a reason why he wouldn't want to keep me around.

[Ryan]

AND SORRY like I totally lack a personality tonight I'm just tired from work and I REALLY have to shit so I was just typing that out to get it DONE you know? My bad.

[Ryan]

All ass-kissing aside, I wanna say you guys are doing an excellent job so far with hosting. I'm also impressed by how early some of the drama is starting up, I think it's only going to get more interesting as the season goes on.

So far, things are going pretty well I think. Drew sent me a PM saying that Britti is on board with the alliance, (Even though Britti and I just want Drew to think that he's starting things up), but I honestly think he trusts me the most out of anyone. This is very good for my game. I think I have the closest relationships with Britti and Drew over anyone else in this entire game. And I really like them both. If I could play this game out with them and make it to the end, I'd be so happy.

I still haven't really gotten a chance to talk game to Sharonica, which is disappointing, because I really do want to work with her.

Other than that, Jared asked me for an alliance and I think he meant it. Kelman also seemed to want to work with me. At this point, I don't really have any reason to think any of them aren't being genuine with me. Of course I'm not going to buy it completely, but I don't look at Kelman or Jared and really get intimidated easily.

As far as Tony, Dantz, and Gibson go, I think Tony & Dantz would be cool to hang out with if they opened up at all. Right now they're just always on skype and rarely on AIM which is kind of the opposite of what my group (Britti, Drew, myself) do. I wouldn't say it's creating a void but it's kind of getting in the way of alliances being formed and stuff like that. not that I need any more. But I already had a feeling Gibson/Tony/Dantz might be together so I'm wary of working with any of them at all.

I've tried to talk to Gibson quite a few times and he just never responds. I really don't think he has anything to contribute and I'd prefer he leave as soon as possible. And I feel like with Kelman, Jared, Sharonica, Britti, and Drew on my side, we could convince Tony & Dantz to make it a unanimous vote.

BUT I never want to get too far ahead of myself, or seem too cocky. I'm a pretty multi-faceted guy. You'll see me as the "OMG GURL WORK IT WOO" kind of person, but then you'll see this side of me too in my confessionals. I don't really like to be limited to one-dimension. I can think, but I can be fun. I can play, but I can work too. I came here to play the game the best way I could and I really don't plan on doing any less. I want to be well-liked, I want to be a threat, and I want to win.

[Ryan]

Also, the more I talk to Jared, the more I like him. I thought I'd say that so that once this game is done he doesn't think I am a total jerk. Well, I mean, I am a total jerk. But I want him to know that I do like him.
