This will be your own personal confessional for the remainder of the game. It will be completely private to the other players, so feel free to be as candid as you like. You have complete control over what to do with your confessional. You can create as many new threads here as you would like, this thread is yours to do with as you please.
When posting your confessionals it's up to you the format you would like to post them. You can create a new thread for each round of the game and post your thoughts in each one, or you can have one thread devoted to collecting your thoughts throughout the whole game. You have the freedom to do whatever you prefer.
Along with confessionals, this thread will be used for some challenges, as well as voting. Voting will take place in the thread that I have created called "Voting History". Each time you visit Tribal Council you will cast your vote in that thread, thus ensuring that it remains private.
I hope you take advantage of this space and document your time within the game. We love watching and reading confessionals so I look forward to whatever you post in here.
Good luck!

ROY CONFESSIONAL #1
Okay, SO! This weekend went pretty smoothly as far as the game goes. I think I was present enough while not being overbearing, something I can tend to do in my own way, and I also think that I bonded with some of the other Tribe members: (Casey) - So, this person for me is probably the one on the tribe that I get along with the most. As far as online games go, he's pretty green, or so he says, so I don't think he'd be lying to me about wanting to work with me either. We're very similar thinkers, speakers, we share a lot of the game tastes in video games as well, which is always a good sign. I rather enjoy Casey. (Louise) - Louise is a really great person. You can tell she's very friendly and personable and that she doesn't have to try to be those things; she just is. This, of course, makes her a threat, BUT me and her bonded over Rina Sawayama and our similar music tastes, which is always a great thing to initiate conversation with. I find talking to her really easy so, even though she's threatening, right now she's refreshing. (Danielle) - I'm not sure if she's shy or quiet. She doesn't really give much as far as her reactions go. I'm drawn to the mystery of her but this is the exact kind of person who can win this game. Stoic, but just relatable enough to get by with a cute emoji or two. I played the challenge with her, which gives us a connection, but I don't know how I feel about her from a game perspective. (Calum) - Really sweet lad xx. Honestly he seems cool. Our schedules are just opposite of each other so it's quite hard to catch him to have a conversation. I can't say that I can give a fair opinion of him yet, honestly. (Erica) - A little high strung, this one? She kind of gave me a frazzled sense about her that threw me off. She's really nice, of course, don't get me wrong, that's just from a game perspective. We're going to have a conversation on call right after I post this actually, so maybe she's making the first move in bridging together some numbers? Speaking of numbers, no one has approached me for any kind of potential majority should we go to tribe council yet. I'm not going to be the person to initiate any of that. We may not even go to tribal council, so it's jumping the gun to divide the tribe when we don't have to yet. That could really impede on my chances of having a positive relationship with everyone as we head into a tribe swap. ALSO, me and Casey are going to be working together to try and procure an idol. He said he'd help me in anyway he could, which of course, I would be obligated to pretty much 'share' the idol if I get it. I'm nonplussed about that, it doesn't have to be used on me or be a secret. I just want to be able to know where one of the idols are and potentially influence it to work in my favor. That's all I have for now. Here's to not flopping out first!

Good news, everyone. Erica said she's going to give me hand typed notes about the very mystery I was going to investigate. Marvelous.

ROY CONFESSIONAL #2 I AM SO ANNNNNOOOOOOOOOYED! "It's red dirt, a shrub in the ground, and a wall with triangles" - Danielle ...you mean a dome. Like it's a dome, like had she said DOME, and said it looks like a desert, we would have gotten that shit. "Oh God... what did we say... wha-... what were the coordinates... oh what was that again?" - Erica A MISTAKE LETTING HER BE THE SUBMITTER. ("A little high strung, this one?" - Roy, last confessional) Really, I have to take some ownership, there were several times I could have spoken up so that we weren't the losers. It was obvious at least one of the people shouldn't have been in the role that they were in, but alas, we're off to tribal council. I'm not so sure this backseat thing is working for me. Maybe I was meant to be visible. Maybe I was meant to be in the struggle. But I'm nervous because at this point anyone could go home, I don't know what tribe dynamics would be like in a situation where someone has to be voted out... But one thing I DO know is that if they send me home at this point, they will probably continue to lose challenges. This tribe needs a leader.

They're like "wow the other tribes were so impressive". Not really. One tribe just knew what a damn dome was. The other two just dropped the ball on that one question. Everything else was similar. I'm just parroting at this point.

So, today I flopped the challenge for us. BUT! So many people came to my defense it makes me feel good about my social game on this tribe. I think I can make it through. Also, Casey is AWESOME, so sad he's not a gay man tbh.

Everything is in the video this time. It's an interesting watch. 6 minutes though, so if you don't watch I understand.

So, my strategy going into the tribe swap is to just make everyone laugh, and see who comes to me first. Then, I'll venture out and make sure I've spoken to everyone and take it from there. There's a lot of time to get to know other people so, hopefully we (me and Danielle) can make the most of it.

TBH really, really pushing hard for a coalition against Bexley domination. In the wrong hands, information that I'm doing this could prove devastating for my longevity. However, I would much rather go home pre-merge knowing I was fighting for post-merge Roy to have a better end game, than being complacent and letting post-Merge Roy simply be picked off by overwhelming numbers. Fighting for your life is more honorable than waiting for death. Period.
I know now that Cases #1 and #2 were MUCH easier than Case #3. No one on Harrow knew that because we all picked the same case. What luck. That being said, the chances of someone I'm actually very close to having an idol is zero. Ealing already solved two cases, they're currently stuck on the same case as me, yet they had the same time as Harrow, allegedly getting no idol. So Bexley with 9 hours of solving time amongst them would most certainly at least have one idol, if not both. Zaid was really open with information about cases. Ethan was not as open, I had to ask leading questions and give information he was uncomfortable giving to get him to divulge that information. Noted.
One thing Zaid was NOT open about that Ethan was, was that he was called out twice in his main chat. Once by Marissa, once by Carson. Things he wasn't supposed to see, of course. Not very important information, but still. Interesting. Ethan seems like an erratic player, prone to leaving information out and digging for it. Feels outcasted by his tribe though, so I'll keep working on him. Zaid seems much calmer, calculated. He's also pretty cool. Carson is adorable, he's nice. Really sweet, seems very social. Maybe on the flirty side, he keeps mentioning my man titties. Obvious flattery doesn't work on me much though. Unless it's about my hair.
Brenden is nice enough, but there's nothing too dynamic about him?? White gay, but lemme not drag too much because I haven't spoken to him on call. Dusty left me on read for days, so, I'm not pressed to talk to her. And she flopped hard in the challenge. She must be named after her dusty behavior. "All red outfit" but she wore gray sweat pants under the nightie? Sweetie, what are you doing...? Anyways. Truthfully, I'm only dragging them because to send them home, I need to see them as my enemy. Lovely people. That's all for now.

WHAT A BRILLIANT VOTE! AMAZING! YASSSSS!
Miranda was scurry. So, let's celebrate her death. (Miranda's canon sounds).
Honestly? With some of my numbers on the other tribe having what I can assume to be stable footing, and all of the extremely strong bonds I've made on this tribe, I feel really good about my social standing. HOWEVER! I am scared of Zaid. He's a coiled snake, I see him. I also don't believe no one on old Ealing has an idol. Zaid is too clever to not possibly be hiding one, or even Ethan who's secretive.
Also, as soon as I can get to them, I need to make sure I can kiki with Juju and Abby, who I've learned is a pair from Brenden (who I had a great chat with.) All in all, win or lose, I feel secure enough that I have the tools to be able to build a bridge past this week. I have options now, it's all about picking the best ones for me.
