#14th-ricci

Hey chat

Hopefully nobody else can see this cause i’m about to start giving away strategy

I think i’m locking in with Bethany asap, we’re both the (sorta) elders of the group and already getting along great. I have a feeling they will be locked in with me

Corny is also giving me good vibes at the moment, probably gonna try to rope in 1 more to form a classic new era alliance of 4 and run this shit

Have a feeling Molly will get on peoples nerves, already starting fights at marooning with people on other tribes - can’t imagine what it’ll be like if we lose early

also idk what confessional buddy means but if mikeramp is an option that’s the goat

basically you can bring a normal spec into your cf to talk with you
but theyll lose all spectator powers and will pretty much just be able to talk in here for the remainder of the season

and they cant be a vip spec

also mikeramp is literally the main host

you cant have him here

but he can still talk here

oh can all spectators see this chat

only trusted ones

trusted ones are either alumni or have to be vouched for by multiple people

either 3 other trusted specs or 2 of us (staff)

Myself and Bethany & Myself and Corny are very much locked in so i’m hoping they will also be on the same page. Not sure who else to try to lock in with considering Ryan and Tully are on australian time

Good morning chat, feeling good about Ryan after introducing ourselves. Undoubtedly feel like I can make a core group with myself Bethany and Corny but certainly wouldn’t mind having extra numbers. I feel pretty strongly Molly will be first boot from our tribe when it comes down to it. Would really prefer to not be under the gun of first boot so let’s just win today 🫡

Myself and Bethany were specifically hoping this would not be first immunity, but we were expecting far more than just 1 losing tribe so there’s that to be thankful for. We both want to volunteer for exile cause we’d obviously like the advantages to be in one of our two hands - but I am worried of the losing consequences if we were to volunteer

Hello chat quick evening check-in. Just spent a cool hour and a half helping make a tribe flag design - if I see some ai slop from any others tribe, we should do worse things to them than exile.

Speaking of exile, I was hoping I could volunteer and not have anyone else volunteer so we wouldn’t have to vote and expose relationships and I got my wish. Have to imagine first exile isn’t gonna be anything ridiculous so i’m expecting a gain a vote for the winner and a lost vote for the loser. I feel extremely confident in my position socially so far so I really don’t mind the risk if it comes down to it - banking an extra vote early would be quite huge

Good morning chat, I feel like i’ve made some good progress on forming a core group of myself, Bethany, Ryan, and Corny. Hopefully exile doesn’t completely fuck me cause i’m in quite a good spot at the moment - I feel like even if I lose a vote I can still feel relatively safe that those 3 will go for Molly or Tully

I’ll get to those questions shortly

Quick early tribal confessional - all 5 of us were 100% going to vote out Molly first, quite glad she is just offering herself up so we can save everyone the stress. A bit of a bummer we can’t build trust through this vote but I still feel good about the people i’m with

1. Bethany by far has made the best first impression, feels like we’re gonna lock in for the entire game and run this together, Ryan has also done quite well and is moving up our list for who we’d want to add to our core and work with long term
2. You gotta be a fair mix of both true and fake, i’m gonna be authentically myself when building bonds with these people, but i’m going to become extremely guarded with information as time goes on. Right now I feel like I should share everything with Bethany but that will change eventually.
3. Had to front to the tribe like this was totally a team effort and we shouldn’t have lost, but let’s be real lmao. Nobody put in a single ounce of effort besides myself and Bethany. Nobody else was gonna take the reins there - especially with half our tribe being on inverted time zones and Molly being completely inactive. I really don’t mind going to tribal first, Molly is an easy boot - and Tully messed up by throwing out Corny’s name. We have complete control of this tribe right now

1. I’m currently on my first watch-through of Twin Peaks. S2E3 at the moment, and absolutely loving it so far
2. Honestly I feel like my entire game to this point has been dictated by everyone else lying low, whether intentionally or not. I knew that Ryan Tully and Corny would be at a disadvantage socially being online when mostly everyone else is offline, so I was aggressive in trying to lock down a F2 with Bethany immediately along with building relationships with everyone else. I was initially worried that I could game too hard, too fast - but it really seems like it’s helped me lock down a core of myself Bethany and Ryan, and once Molly is out of here we will get to decide who we’d like to make a core 4 out of between Corny and Tully.
3. I really wanted to go to the first Black Lodge, I feel strongly that it’ll be relatively low stakes - gain a vote for the winner and lose a vote for the loser. I know that i’m not gonna be in danger for the first couple of votes from our tribe so I was willing to risk losing a vote for the potential of gaining an advantage I can bank long term. Moving forward I feel like i’d rather send Bethany or Ryan if they’re willing to volunteer.
4. I really think Molly is the only person I haven’t truly connected with or want to work with at all at this point - we’re solving that tonight by voting her ass out!

Hey chat, quick pre tribal vote read confessional…. Molly…. what are you doing!? 😭 Made herself to be the easiest first boot ever.

Good morning chat, i’m kinda not actually good at all at jigsaw puzzles so this will probably be a hilariously sad showing from me

Fuggles sharing the same info with virtually everybody on the cast is not how I think you want to be playing this twist, massive target on him for this public advantage - and he’s devaluing the information he’s giving out by giving it to everyone…

If we lose again i’m gonna be in hell, we’re probably booting Corny as it stands now but I genuinely feel like I can work with everybody left on my tribe

I feel like I cooked on that puzzle

Corny just told me he DNF’d his pipes puzzle…. chat am I on the disaster tribe

We’re not a disaster tribe after all 😀😀😀

Corny DNF’ing… I would’ve sent him to the moon if we lost or got 3rd and I got drawn for the black lodge

Chat I feel like I got lucky with this tribe draw, all we gotta do is rope in one person and we can gain complete control after just one vote. No shot a 2-1-1 split from other tribes come together as a 4 against us right…. right?

Good morning confessional, unfortunately i’m feeling way less confident in the control I have on this tribe compared to where I was before knowing that Bethany and I could’ve ran the OG served tribe all the way down. But i’m mostly worried for her! I feel like i’ve made good new connections on this tribe, I think Clint/Marissa are people I can get on my side - and all we have to do is win one vote and we get complete control over this group. Really not sure what my strategy should be at this point, but hoping it becomes more clear if we lose a challenge - figure it’ll be hard to get Andrew/Clint to vote for each other, so Brayden feels like the easy conclusion… but I don’t want Marissa to get thrown off by that idea and think she would be next being the only one from her og tribe

Brayden’s pissing me off with these conversations. Put in some effort brotha

If he’s like this with the rest of the tribe, we should have an easy boot that completely overshadows the fact that we have 3 of my original tribe here. Just gotta make it thru 1 fuckin vote

If i’m being brutally honest with myself here, if we lose another challenge due to my original served tribe members being on completely inverted schedules as everyone else…. I think I should go with Andy/Clint/Marissa. I would be having my cake and eating it too with a Brayden boot, but I think it’s clear these players are good enough to know the implications of that vote and not let it happen. If I gotta turn on the og’s to save my own ass, i’m gonna do it

@Alive Player Confessional Question: What's your thoughts on the hint posted in #treemail?

I feel like I can’t read

1. No chance in hell will I be trying to collaborate on this clue. I don’t think i’ll be capable of solving it regardless, but I certainly don’t want to help someone else get it when i’m not entirely sure that they’d tell me if they got it.
2. It feels difficult to know how this swap has truly shaped out for me. It’s gone well for the fact that I feel relatively confident that I won’t be getting voted out of this tribe, but i’m also so close but so far away from the power position I was trying to achieve and had on my previous tribe. If I can really lock in with Marissa, drag her away from Andy/Clint, and plant us in the middle of this tribe - I will feel fantastic. I can also see a very dark path here where if anybody but Brayden is the first boot of this tribe, i’ve made a serious mistake and could very easily get flipped on by this group of 4 i’ve planted myself in.
3. I’m fronting to everyone like i’m terrified of it and think it’s a horrible idea to volunteer, because I really want it exclusively to myself as an escape hatch if i’m not happy with how things go on this tribe. I really didn’t want to go before I made connections with the other side - and now that I have… I feel like it wouldn’t be the worst thing to be randomly chosen for it
4. Im looking forward to voting out Brayden, purely because if i’m not voting him out first i’m probably making a mistake
5. I feel like my personal connections have been the strongest part of my game so far. I managed to do alright on my original tribe, and now here on this swapped tribe I really feel like 5/6 of the other members wouldn’t think about writing my name down. Downside to that is I can feel the walls closing in, gonna have to make some critical decisions soon

I would’ve liked to win, but this couldn’t have worked out better for me lol

Successfully floated the F2 pact to Marissa and feel like i’m slowly succeeding in planting us in the middle between Andy/Clint & Ryan/Tully. I really hope we don’t lose this next immunity

R-Lime made quite a mistake in the vc after the challenge by telling everyone he has a half-idol….

That challenge was so fucking important, i’m glad I stepped up for it. I’m sure we’ll be in these tribes for a couple more rounds at least - but if I could somehow get out of here without another vote I will have done such a great job at setting myself up for the future

So does that mean R-Lime is out? 😭😭

SWAP TIME!
@Alive Player, how do you feel about your new tribe? Off first impression, who sticks out to you as allies/targets and why?

-

I’m beyond excited with this new tribe draw I got. I managed to get through the previous swap phase working the middle between everybody else on my tribe. Now i’m back with clear allies in my F2 Bethany, Tully, hopefully Marissa although I am worried she may have a connection with Gem. I’m gonna have to have a lot of talks with Bethany to see how this tribe is gonna line up but i’m feeling extremely confident we’re gonna be back in the power position we were in on Served 1.0. Early potential targets are sticking out as Star Updates (ily queen, big fan), Soul, and Gem. I’m worried about Fuggles but i’m willing to test the waters and see if we can gain some trust here.

Chat i’m so excited, I don’t think this swap could’ve worked out any better for me. We look primed to be able to run this tribe and maybe even form a 6 person alliance with Myself, Bethany, Fuggles, Marissa, Gem and Tully. Loved 3.0 has a very strong chance of being run by Clint/Andrew/Jack/Sams/Ryan

Once you start to think too far ahead, you’re in trouble. But Im gonna do it nonetheless. I think Bethany and I are gonna make merge with nearly everyone in the game wanting to work with us if things go as planned. If Ryan survives, he will 100% be rejoining this trio we had going with Bethany, then we get to strike against probably the strongest force in this game in the Clint/Andrew/Jack/Sams alliance. I adore Clint, think he’s a complete legend - but I know who I gotta look out for in this game and he will 100% be a favorite to win it all by the time merge hits

cliffnotes from vc much appreciated ^_^

- Bethany and I are so incredibly locked in and we’re gonna run this tribe + the game like the Navy
- We solidified that Andrew/Clint/Jack/Sams are gonna be the power group coming from Loved 3.0, we both have individual relationships with Clint & Sams so we’re hopeful that we can infiltrate and break it down however possible
- First boot target from this tribe will be Soul, he’s completely disconnected from the others in this tribe and should be agreeable for everyone to vote out
- Corny & Tully have an insufferable feud still going on from Served 1.0, we’re gonna have to make the choice between them at some point and right now we feel like Tully is a more workable number than Corny would be. They’re both lose cannons though….
- Star Updates is closer with Fuggles than I thought, gonna need to be weary when working with both of them on all fronts
- Bethany had a 4 person group going of herself/Fuggles/Sams/AK and would’ve likely voted off Soul. Gem was inactive at times but still potentially a workable ally
- I told Bethany about my Penguins of Twin Peaks alliance with Andy/Clint/Marissa along with the trio I formed with Ryan/Tully on my original tribe

Good morning confessional. As happy as I am that we won first immunity on these new swapped tribes and get to watch how Loved 3.0 starts to shake out - I can very evidently feel that this new tribe of mine needs a vote early to set the tone. I need to have actual reasons to trust Fuggles/Marissa because I don’t have that yet and it’ll only come through a vote. If this first boot from Loved 3.0 isn’t one of Void, Omar, Bree or AK…. we’re gonna have some serious problems

This tribal feels quite messy. Both Tully & Corny feel close to me so I feel bad regardless of the way this vote goes. It seems like right now the votes are Myself/Bethany/Gem/Marissa/Tully voting out Corny and Fuggles/Star/Corny voting out Tully, but I can feel that the people currently voting out Corny are extremely weary on it. I’m hoping Fuggles comes back to me and says he and Star are jumping onboard to make it unanimous for Corny, cause if not i’m gonna look like quite the flip flopper and i’m worried the vote may somehow flip to Tully leaving and then I was the biggest proponent pushing for Corny left in the game

Update: This tribal was not messy at all actually

Feels bad lying to Corny but i’ve just been with Tully longer and have a more developed relationship with him

Confessional Question: What would be a good confessional question to ask everybody? Maybe to get them to think about things that might help your game? @Alive Player

Confessional… It’s time to launch the nukes.

Idk if these guys think i’m just fucking dumb or what, but the entire other side offering me an alliance with Andrew/Clint/Jack/Sams/Void and expecting me to dump all previous allies i’ve made in this game AND they’re not even trying to be subtle about it

Do they not realize that this entire side they’re persuading me to dump is about to vote someone off of their tribe?

Matter of fact, you all telling me Bree is the ONLY one on the outs from your side that you’re willing to get rid of… sounds like she should be the safest if we had our pick

I really don’t think Andrew is close to being the most powerful player on that side, Void got voted against 7 times and is now on a leash for those people, Ryan is gonna flip back to our side as soon as he gets the chance, Sams will likely get some form of protection from going to exile

Jack or Clint… i’m coming for your ass!

I feel like i’m doing too much 😭

But I want to make this move

Fuggles sold so hard LMFAO you just have to laugh

Fuggles telling Observed 1.0 that we’re coming for them and then using safety without power. Thanks man! 😁😁😁😁

I still somehow think they trust me enough to put the votes on Tully. We’ve already launched the nukes, there’s no recalling them. Either Jack or Andrew will be leaving

Feeling cautiously optimistic this morning - somehow I think we managed to damage control enough that they think we’re actually getting out Bree and therefore will strike at Tully, but there will be no way of knowing until the votes are actually read

I miss Tully already 💔 That entire round was so dark

The nukes had to be launched on Observed 1.0 though, did what had to be done

I feel like I need to have this on paper starting merge because shit is getting twisted now

TRUST RANKINGS:
1. Bethany
2. Marissa
3. Ryan
4. Gem
5. Void
6. Star
7. Bree
8. Fuggles
9. Theo
10. Jack
11. Sams
12. Clint
13. Soul

Looking at this gives me genuine alarm bells that I only feel like I can truly trust 1-4. But I also feel like that may not be the worst position to be in this early into merge

I suppose now is the point in my game where I figure out how to not be Vince Panaro and overpromise & underdeliver on promises to people that I fully intend on voting out

Morning confessional, looks like i’m gonna have to be on my toes today. I’m inclined to believe what Jack is telling me is true about Gem/Marissa not really being with me

Okayyyyy, this is awkward… I feel like I can 100% trust that Bethany, Fuggles, Star, Ryan are with me on this vote

I want to believe Void and Bree are too

I just can’t believe it’s seeming to be Theo/Gem/Marissa dogging me 😭😭

The fact that I allowed them to take out Tully over Gem is now eating me alive

@14th | Ricci im gonna say more postseason because you're on the jury but thank you so much for playing, you were an absolute delight and i'm really sad to see you go
