~~Welcome to your Confessional~~ 
Welcome to your confessional for CYS 14: Ancient Greece. It is in this thread you will confess your thoughts about the game, the players, and anything else you wish to say.
Following this season, I will be making a "season in review". Pretty much that means a season recap like the ones they do in the first few minutes of the season finale. See the video below for an example.
Because of this, I am asking that everyone does video confessionals. This will make it much easier to create the recap at the end of the season and it makes it much more interesting from a viewer's perspective. The more videos you make, the better edit you will get.
In order to upload a video confessional, go to Youtube, click upload, and upload your video as an unlisted video. Making the video unlisted is the most important part! This makes it so we can see the video but no one else can.
If you want a Production member to record a live confessional, just contact one of us and we will be happy to do it.
Again, video confessionals are not required but recommended. What is required is at least two confessional posts per round. This can (and should) be in the form of a video, but can also be in the form of text, pictures, gifs, or audio. If you do not post two confessionals for a given round, you will receive a disadvantage at the next challenge, whether it be tribal or individual immunity on the line.
I look forward to watching you play this season and I can't wait to see you all fight for that number one spot! Good luck! <3 |

So what I think of the cast so far :
Eric - Glad he's on my tribe. He's Jonathan from SI. I kinda bashed him hard in the F3, but I think that's in the past. We don't talk regularly or anything but we talked and I felt we were on good terms. I know he knows how I play but it doesn't matter this early. As Sandra once said, "when your ass is on the line, it's all about who you know" Or something like that. I want to work with him early on.
Corey - Oh corey. I've known this guy for 4+ years. Good guy, great host. I've stabbed him in the back before and he's fucked me over. But I think we have a lot of respect for each other. I think we both treat it like sports and if we get outplayed then props. I like him and he gets himself into trouble all the time. If he starts trying to run the show I'll sit back and let him play.
Ty - I hit it off pretty will with him. He went to the same college as me and we can relate on that fact. Really random coincidence. Someone who I think will have my back going forward.
Goal 1: Be friendly, be known as that goofy guy that is easy to get along with and is open minded. I just need to establish a line of convo with everyone and make sure people keep me in mind. I love big tribes. The way I play I like hiding behind people, often bigger targets/meatshields. I want to minimize my target and maximize my percentage of making it to the next round. I need to be ruthless this game, my mistake in my last 2 games was I got way too greedy about trying to keep an extra number or two and failed to flip when I needed to. My goal is simple in this game. Don't get voted out. I don't care about anything else or who else goes. When I play a game I pretend that it's for 1 mil. There's no other way to play. I can at least sleep at night knowing that I fought. As long as I'm not going I don't give a fuck who else goes.
I can tell the time Brandon puts into this game and that makes me really want to try hard and not let anybody down. The board looks great, the confessionals are awesome, and so was the video. I'm motivated, I want this title more than anything. I can't wait to play!

Just got done talking to corey. He's an aggresive player. I told him to just chill and mingle and he wants to rally numbers. I know this:
He told me he knows Catie because he's hosting her for Pro Survivor. I think he said he knows Taddeo and Alex too (?) and was proposing to get us together and a 5th, which I mentioned eric. I hate gathering numbers so early because having a clear divide is bad. Usually the first boot you want to hide the lines/coalitions that are forming and have a mutually agreed upon boot (weak in challenges, inactive, bad socially). I think I can control him and calm him down to acting rationally. I don't want Ty or Eric going, I think they are people I'd feel comfortable with in the long run. As long as I'm not first boot it really doesn't matter. Corey is a fuse that could explode at any time, I know if I ever tell him someone is coming after him he's going to freak out. But it's not him, it's "us". At least that's how I'll phrase it when I talked to him, everything needs to look like it's both of our best interests.
He also said he cohosts ProSurvivor with Amanda. He said they hate eachother and fight everyday. But that means they talk everday. I'm wary, he said there is no chance they will be working together but it's something I have my eye on.

Since I suck at talking to people via calls I'll have to work on other ways to improve my social game. Gonna snapchat/trivia crack with everyone and they'll be lack, man I see his face a lot. How can we send him home, what would we do without his beautiful face.

Ty is my boi. We just made an alliance. We both got along pretty well (pretty sure we're the only straight guys on this tribe) and we both went to the same college so we bonded on that. He told me Tadeo was saying me and Kevin were quiet. Interesting. I need to 1.) talk to tadeo more 2.) keep this information in my pocket if I need to get kevin on my side
The fact that Corey/catie/tadeo/bailey are connected makes me nervous. I'm gonna try to see what's best for me, I think corey would protect me. I need to talk to bailey/catie more too.
I need to make sure someone else is going before me. As long as the wolves don't eat me that's all that matters.

Me/Ty/Eric/Kevin/Alex = numbers
As long as those people I mentioned don't have connections to bailey/corey/katie/tadeo I should be good. But corey said he wanted to make an alliance with me, tadeo, catie so theres that.
I have a lot of ammunition for the war

Fuck corey, TY is my homie. He found out Kevin's confessional, it was the first video on the side after his cup video thing. And he told me about it too, which makes me trust him. He said he told Kevin as well to build trust. He thinks I'm quiet but cool which is good. Him and Eric are talking, which is good. He seems suspicious of tad's gang, which I like. I'm gonna distance myself from them and move towards the majority, because it seems that everyone here is on the same page, tad sounds like he's getting too comfortable and that's rubbing people the wrong way. Kevin/Alex have played before apparently so they could be pals but Kevin said he's apprehensive about working with him.
I need to get to Kevin ASAP.

Tricks gunned for Joseph last round according to Joseph.
Bailey is definitely getting some hate.
I have to tell Ty to cool it, he can't be starting beef with people but if it gets Bailey out that may be good.
I'll talk about this and more on my video confessional since I've been slacking.
