CHARLES IS BACK FOR YOU ALL WITH A NEW THREAD. I decided that I MIGHT do one thread for all my pre-merge confessionals. That is just a little more convenient for me right now. Sometimes I do one thread per round, and I might do that, but it took me ages to get this thread started and that's just not good.
I thought this title was kind of fitting due to our location, plus it is one of the most beautiful songs I recently stumbled upon.
Anyway, on to game talk. We are doing the first challenge and YIKES, a creative one to start with. Not one where I can show any challenge whoring abilities. Might be good to not come off as a threat, but nah it's just hard to win this thing and I hate going to tribal. We seem to have quite a few slackers, only two people contributed when I got on. That's really weird. I do like what they did though.
Tijuana is easily the greatest person to have in the tribe, I absolutely love her. Not really sure if it's mutual but I think she's great. Penner was hard to talk to, but he contributed a lot so that's good. Then I haven't seen Jay since yesterday, but due to his time zone it makes sense that he is late. I just hope he will show up before Brendan and Aras so he won't be a target at Tribal. I'd give my life for him at this point.
Then we have Kelly who went kind of MIA then showed up a bit ago and started talking to me, but she's not saying much at all. Kind of weird, but I like that she initiated a conversation with me. She was only the second person on this tribe to do that (besides Jay obviously).
Brendan and Aras... never seen them. I think Brendan would probably be a target if we go to Tribal since no one has ever talked to him.
And OMG are you serious, there is an Anthony Robinson in this game? I seriously can't look at that guy without thinking it's ME lmfao how freaking annoying is that? Plus it's this guy yknow ehhhhhh.
Yeah like WHO plays as him omg. When I first saw him on the board I was like uhm are they just going to troll and be like a fake PIMPTHONY or what :o Then I saw the AIM and I was like oh nevermind he's for real _-_
Sometimes when you post, and I scroll over it, I think it was Francesca posting :x I was like what is Franny doing in my confessional one time. That was random.
Ok we lost the challenge while we were the only tribe with a fancy igloo, but I'm guessing it's because Brendan didn't participate... plus Aras was useless too. Brendan is the vote for sure.
In the mean time I suggested to Penner that the strong should stick together, so he immediately bit and was asking if I suggested an alliance of T, Jay, Penner, Charles, and I replied that I'd love for that to happen. He definitely asked Jay about it and he is on board of course. I don't know about T because she doesn't really talk game a lot. I will ask Penner later today if he asked T.
I really hope this thing is going to work out. I feel like I haven't been so into socializing and competing in ORGs a year or so and it just is so much fun playing Charlie and seeing his image every time I log on. Plus it's been a while since I've had an ally as fun as Jay :D So yeah the spirit is there, now I just hope we can win a damn challenge so I won't be in a bad spot any time soon.
My tribe sucks. So over each and every one of them. I can't even... I will probably give you guys the full story later, but basically Penner is this rude person (not the guy I thought he was) who overplays and will be bad for my game, and the rest minus Jay speak for themselves pretty much seeing how much they have done for the challenge. GET ME OUT OF HERE.

Charles here..... I have some SERIOUS venting to do. For those who know me, you know I LOVE to complain about my fellow tribe mates. Well, this time is going to be no different and for VERY good reasons. This will also pretty much explain what went on this round.
Let me start with Kelly. She is MIA. Useless. Easiest to complain about. I really hope she shows up though, because she would NOT be my prime target if we go to Tribal. She actually shows on AIM when she's around.
On to Aras, who WOULD be my prime target if we lose a challenge. I hate him. I hate Aras. I hate people who PLAY as Aras. I hate this Aras. He is so fucking stupid. OK I admit it was my fault to say 98.8k, but who in the world would say they are a geek at sliders and get THAT low of a score? Does he not have a brain of himself? Can't he THINK at all? And then he's never even around so he couldn't do any other parts of the challenge after I corrected my mistake of course. "I think I should be your slider guy"... uhm well, he legit sucked, his score sucked. On top of that, he is NEVER around on AIM. Sometimes he checks the boards, but he's never on AIM. I want him out so badly, people like him are unreliable and you can't count on them in any sort of swap or merge situation. So much hate for him.
Who do we have then? Tijuana...... Errr... I'm so over her already. Can she please go inactive? I know that she will last a while, but she's getting on my nerves. I initiated 3 conversations with her in the first three days. She NEVER initiated one with me. I am a huge offender myself usually, but the fact that she's never initiated a convo with me is just bugging me. She's also hard to talk game with, she seems to have a different agenda. On top of that I feel like she is holding back in challenges. She is a leader type, but she doesn't step onto the plate to actually do it and is holding back as such. Maybe I have a wrong read on her, but right now I find her annoying :)
Then... oh boy... Penner. So I was wrong about him being someone who sucks at challenges. He is actually very good at them because he has too much time on his hands, and he is a control freak trying to control every second of the game to go his way. He overplays like I said. IF he is who I think he is, which is Brendan H. from Insanity, then o_O... like Ted, idk if you remember the stories that were told about him, but he was super rude. He formed a huge ass alliance on day 1 before even talking to those he asked which was weird as fuck. I don't think he did that in this one, but the other day he came to me with a plan to contact people from Naternik to form a cross tribal alliance because we both lost a member and would need each other in a swap. How awkward... he doesn't even know the people on that tribe yet. So I subtly told him to take it slowly and first try to get to know them... didn't downright tell him I didn't like the plan. On the positive side though, and this is why I like having him on our tribe, he is GOOD at challenges, and he is NOT shy. He asked both Jay and T for the four person alliance on our tribe after I hinted at it to him. So basically I let him do the awkward work and he accepted the job without hesitance. I like that about him, and maybe he won't be that bad for my game after all. He takes things very seriously and all conversations with him will be GAME. I can live with that.
Then we have Jay, who is my buddy. No real complaints about him :D (why is there no :D smiley?). He got the clues to the idol, and I really hope he will share them with me so we can search for them together. If I find one, I will definitely give it to him as I don't like having an idol in my pocket and having that dilemma each week. I'd expect him to share it because we are so tight, but if he doesn't then I'll have to rethink things a bit, that's not how I expected it to be...
AT LEAST we won immunity though. That was very close and it all worked out with me doing the flash game. Someone actually beat me on the slider so I'm glad it went this way and that we won. Now I hope Kelly returns so I can somehow try to get rid of Aras before there's a swap.
Sorry for the venting, had to be done. Don't take it personal. Love you all. Except, not really :)
YUCK. A tribe swap... and this early. I'm super annoyed haha. I don't have Jay with me and he could be in a bad spot, and I'm not doing too well myself either. Basically another game I'm in went kind of CRAZY and needed a lot of scheming and socializing... unfortunately at the cost of socializing in this one. I didn't have time to go on AIM yesterday and hence haven't met most of the new tribe mates.
I talked to Sarah briefly, but I find her boring and didn't know where to go to with the conversation. Felt a little awkward. That's the thing with Penner: there can be a silence for idk how long but it doesn't feel awkward because the guy is just all about the game.
Then the challenge went up and I couldn't be there, but it's not a problem at all I think... so that's good. Katie has posted a LOT, good job girl. I'm thinking she is Ubalz which is problematic because he hates me :/ Anyway, we talked a bit, more about the challenge than about anything else. I did tell her I'm from Europe though... plus she seems real nice on the board...
I have yet to meet Angie and Becky. Kelly is inactive so not gonna bother ha. According to T, Becky is crazy weird though. Angie is Kimdee, I hope we are able to chat/connect in this game because I feel that after we cut Kelly it might be Perserpa vs. Qinoq with Angie being the swing vote. T. said she was worried about people ganging up on us, so then I told her my perspective, and then she stopped talking LOL. Awkward. That's how it always goes with her. Plus I had to initiate the conversation AGAIN. Blablayadayada ##
Anyway, I think we're winning the challenge... or at least, Qinoq is losing because they suck :) It's annoying that only one tribe is going to tribal cuz there's still so fucking many people in the game and I'm confident we can win this challenge... but whateverrrr....
Oh and TED, PLEASE GET ANOTHER PW TO SIGN UP ON THIS BOARD. I CAN'T SEE THAT ANTHONY ROBINSON PIC FOR NEWEST MEMBER NO MORE IT IS SO ANNOYING.
