Well done for making it to a Tribe Swap ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) where you now get to play with people you may or may not have already met anyway! Just another day in The Goes Wrong ORG, but perhaps a quieter one... for now... ![:giggle](https://i.imgur.com/GdXDrBY.gif) 7. Tell us about that Tribal Council! What was your role in saying tootles to Tootles? And how did the Rooms format impact the course of the round? 9. How did you leave things with each of the remaining Team Harris players? To what extent would you trust them, or want to work together with them in the future? 5. Did you follow, interfere, or even pay attention to anything beyond your own Tribe last round? If so, what did you make of the events on Team Rigg and Team Suchet? And did anyone or anything stand out to you in your Rooms as particularly interesting, or important moving forward? 8. Give us your first impressions of your new Tribe! Who are you PMing for the first time and what do you think of them? Do you have any plans yet for how to play with (or around) the mystery, teensy Voting Rooms format?

I've reached a critical exhaustion level. I definitely need sleep, but I'm also trying to make good impressions here. This tribe is going to be a disaster. If we didn't have such a convoluted format, I would feel safe, but who even knows. Is it bad that I am not even worried too much about being voted into the dark place? I am more nervous about getting into a room and having to make a not-so-nice choice to somebody I spent two days lying to ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png) I will update at some point, but I have to wonder why the heck Valerie is so well-liked. She is simply awful to speak with. I thought it was just the rooms, but holding a conversation with her is literally painful. Am I supposed to vote somebody out who is actively engaging me in conversation over this fool? It's not happening. Let's not even start on the Trevor dilemma. I also need Diana to come in and be amazing and align with me, realize I am an amazing ally to have and be my new bestie. Also, David is so not subtle. "Here is a majority for the ranking! You can involve your bestie, we'll have Diana, and then everyone on my previous tribe". Like, you do you, buddy, but you're so obvious. Them begging for immunity last round and then this? I can tell ya what, if I get in a room with three of them and they vote for me? Sure, but such a bad look for them after what he said. I feel if Richard, Trevor and I were in a room and voted together, it wouldn't be seen as gross. Anyway, I need to get back to messaging Valerie, but I don't even know what she wants. I tried being flirty - didn't get anything. I tried being strategic - didn't get anything. I don't want to suddenly be short, but what do you want?

God, I need sleep. But apparently Valerie likes me? What? I must be dreaming.

… so I’m fine with this foursome of me, David, Diana, and Valerie, but if they think I’m screwing over Richard, they’re in for a surprise. Knowing my luck, I’ll be in a room with Richard and one of them *rolleyes Here I was thinking being with Richard would be ideal because everyone would assume we’d vote together. I mean, how much more do I need to spell this out? I literally told them I want to protect him here, yet… this? It’s comical. However, I’m here to have fun, not win, so we’ll see how this goes. Just, why?

The time has finally come for me to update my confessional! I haven’t had a chance recently. Work has been busy and stressful, and with the lack of sleep I get whenever I play these games, it’s been a rough few days. I’m incredibly nervous that my absences are making me look bad and not reliable. It’s been difficult, but I think I’ve established myself in some safety. How long will it last, though: that's the real question. My goal is to come across as a strong social person, but one who can be overlooked. I don’t want to be seen as the top social threat, and I don’t think I even am. After how pathetic I was in the rooms? It’s not happening. Still, it’s been an interesting few days.
Let’s answer some questions. Buckle in. This is going to be lengthy!
Getting rid of Tootles was the logical choice. I never cared for her, so I was happy with it. The vote wasn’t hard to put together since she was always meant to be the second vote, or she was for me. I need to connect with Mick sometime soon because I don’t know his outlook on everything here, but I do like to think he would have valued Prince Richard over Tootles, especially since she was hardly active. As nervous as I was to go to Tribal with Trevor, I would have felt wrong to see one of the other tribes lose an active member while we were carrying her dead body around. It was sweet the other tribes wanted to save us the drama of Tribal with Trevor, but it was unnecessary. The correct choice was made.
I don’t think being in rooms made anything better or worse, only because Tootles was the backup vote. We didn’t need to discuss it because we knew the next logical step, especially with her not around. Being in rooms was interesting, though. It was a fun way to get to know others, but as I already stated, I hate rooms. I wasn’t nearly as charming as I wanted, but it is what it is. I wish I could have the same confidence and charisma as Diana Riggs or Camille, but that’s not me. For as big of a social player as I can be at times, I'm still a socially awkward introvert. being in rooms brings that to the forefront. I did meet a few standouts. Ms. Wimblegate and Scrooge are two people I want to get to know better moving forward. The others are more of a mystery. Like, Croc? How long is he going to survive with his shtick? Also, I was close to Plate and Deer, but, eh, they're apparently on the bottom. I didn't truly know them, but they left a solid impressive. Given how little I feel for so much of this cast, seeing them leave is sad. Hopefully they won't, but we shall see.
When it comes to Team Harris, I have great connections with them. I feel, at least. There is no doubt that Camille and I will work together moving forward. It was laughable that we were in every room with each other last round. People must think we’re the same person! In many ways, I would consider her my #1 ally, though that is followed by Prince Richard – it always has been. I do like Mick, but I always suspected he was closer to Camille than me, and not hearing from him during the latter half of the weekend felt stunted, especially since Camille did. If we were to reconnect, he would be somebody I can rely on. Our interests should align, and we have no reason not to want to work together given our alliance back on Team Harris. I just don't know what connections he is making, or if people like him or think of him as weak. I do suspect that he values me more than Richard, I expect him to want to use me for connections moving forward, at the very least. Then there is Trevor.
Goodness, I would write a novel about our relationship.
I like the guy – I always have and haven’t hidden it. As demonstrated in my confessional, I went back and forth on voting him off that first round. I think he is making the most of his second chance, and it doesn’t hurt that he has people on the same TZ as him now. He didn’t really go outside of Richard on Team Harris. He is good socially, but he also will always have the stigma of being on the bottom and of not getting along with some of us. Have we cleared the air? I think so, but I’m not going to be the issue. I believe his truce with me was momentary and will only last until he can find some solid footing in this game. Trust me, when he can turn on me, he will. I just need to ensure he doesn’t reach that stage. If he died this round, it would be lovely, but I don’t think it’s as apt to happen. Honestly, it depends on how people rank. It worries me that he got voting power last round. There must be somebody here who is trying to appeal to him. Underestimating him would be a mistake, but... I also feel we did well to clear the air. It's all hard to say. Watch him be my downfall; it would be poetic.
… if he died, I would be happy because then I wouldn’t have to worry about him, but if he lived, I wouldn’t be upset because I like him that much. The guy has charm, what can I say?
Speaking of charm, we have my beloved Prince Richard. If I put any effort into a schtick, I would hate him, but I have always felt a strong kinship towards him. Being in this tribe together has only made it grow. I trust him 100%, but I keep finding myself in situations where I am invited into things that he is not. I don’t understand why he isn’t making the same inroads with me, but I felt I was in an awkward position on Team Harris, having security he didn’t and asking him to trust me. Let me clarify: he was in his right to be nervous about voting out Trevor. And here, the fact that I found safety in one group of people while he found it in another was tricky. Together, we’re amazing, but I think our interests, dynamic-wise, are elsewhere. Despite that, I love and adore him and want to work with him. he has my trust 100%, and I love that he isn't stupid. He knows that I can be shady sometimes, but nevertheless, I think our trust is still there. I just wish we could appeal to the same crowd.
I had this crazy idea that if he and I were in a room with any of my foursome, I would simply ask to be voted in. It didn't happen, but more on this in a moment.
Did I pay attention to what was going on for the other tribes? Eh, a little bit. I barely had time to figure out what was happening in my rooms. I spent more time trying to get people to like me than strategize, but I wasn’t oblivious. I don’t really care much, though. Drama from the last round will be old news next round, assuming I make it there. I don’t have time to comment on everything, but little of what occurred pertains to me.
This is the juicy part! I will talk about the people and see where it goes.
Prince Richard: I adore him and have already spoken enough about him above. It baffles me that these idiots think I will just ditch him. I have made it clear in every message that I adore this man, yet they want me to abandon him to join them? No, it’s not happening. As much as I like them, he’s my priority in this tribe. I just don't get it. I never even implied that we weren't a package deal, but whatever.
Diana Riggs: She is the kind of player I aspire to be one day. She knows how to command a room with her very presence alone. I adore her, but that’s because I value somebody who wants to banter and have long strategy talks. Does it worry me that her activity can be spotty? Not really. When you’re open and send the messages that she does, I don’t need to hear from her a bunch of times a round. I am content with one giant message a day and then following up with smaller things closer to the vote. So, I want to continue with her on this tribe, but I also don’t think I am her main priority here. I desperately wish I was, but I think we just missed each other. She took the day off when I was around, and then I was busy when she was here. I just need to get her alone a bit and impress her. This isn't to say that I think she dislikes me - she doesn't, but I am not her top priority, not yet. I want to be, though. We'll seehwo things proceed, but she is a huge standout and has not disappointed.
Insert huge gap...
Sir David: I like him, but I find him incredibly transparent. It’s almost a turn-off how he comes across - Richard is correct in his take of the man. He just gives off vibes of wanting to play his game, not yours. It's fine, because that's we're all doing, but yikes! It's been one day and you're already giving me these vibes? It's not a good look. Of course, I trust him, but I am just not as enthralled with him as I thought. I thought he and I would instantly connect, somewhat like I did with Diana, but it didn’t happen. That’s not to say I dislike him – he’s perfectly fine, and I like our banter. I also appreciate that he can be forward with some conversation. Still, he has never once given me the vibe that I am a priority to him outside of forming a convenient majority. I feel he doesn't value me as a player and wouldn't be loyal to me over anyone else in our foursome.
I don't blame him for coming in and wanting to protect his OG members, but it soured me on him. Does that make me petty? Maybe, but meh!
Robert: He is/was charming. I've got nothing against the chap, but Diana oversold him – he wasn’t as great as she said, but I appreciated that he came to me and was eager to want to work together. He was great in those ways, and I was tempted to want to work with him if I didn’t come in with such high opinions of people eager to disregard him. If he survives, I see him as somebody I can work with, but I also know he felt he was on the bottom and was apt to say and do whatever to keep himself safe. How much of what he told me about wanting to work with Richard and me was true? We may never know, but unlike David, he made me feel as though he needed me. He came across as more genuine... probably because he was, but that's an issue for David. Robert was great! I don't know if I still trust him, but he's not a closed door. We'll see what happens in his room.
Jon: It’s terrible, but I don’t have a huge opinion of him. He was perfectly fine, but we never got into the nitty gritty of anything. He quickly admitted that he had been busy, which I understand. Add in the TZ differences? I feel we didn’t connect. Doesn’t mean there is no chance we will in the future, but it didn’t happen here. I feel kinship towards him, as he invited me to his room without knowing me. That was something I appreciated and will not forget, but I can also see him being an easier boot within the next few rounds due to his lack of connections. He's a bit of a dark horse, though. If he plays his cards correctly, he could be a huge player here, but will he? It's hard to say. He's nice and friendly and kinda fun to message, so hopefully we can work together in the future... maybe...
Trevor: He is only this low because of the unknown factor. I spoke enough about him above.
Valerie: I don’t understand how this fool is so beloved. The fact that Diana and David worship her? It's baffling, as I think she is by-far the weakest link on this tribe, and maybe left in this game I would prefer Croc to her. Getting any sort of information out of her is like pulling teeth. I honestly cannot stand her. Diana and David are so in love with her that I question how compatible we will be as allies moving forward. Yes, she is active, but she doesn’t talk game! How is she viewed as better than Jon and Robert? Is it because she is active? Because that’s not enough for me. I don’t regret ranking her low and the OTT sex/flirt shtick is annoying. I think it's funny and charming with David because it's hilarious, but she... just falls flat with me. I am going to work hard in the future to truly break through with her, but I feel I've done that the past two days and gotten nowhere. I cannot believe she likes me. That's not me being cute; I genuinely don't believe it.
Anyway, this is long, so I may end this now. There isn’t much more to say since we’re already in our tiny rooms. I suspect Diana will save us, and it looks good for me if she does. From the outside looking in, it probably seems like I am in danger, and Diana, being the wonderful lady she is, will choose to save me from certain death over Richard. When in reality, we’re a tight foursome. I use the word tight loosely because outside of Diana, I don’t know if I’m all that loyal to this group. I had higher hopes for them, but we’ll see. It’s too early to tell. If Diana doesn’t save us, I could die. It’s impossible to tell how many people ranked me high, but I feel… my ranking has to be in the top four unless I was seriously tanked (looking at you, Trevor).
We’ll see. These could be faous last words!
