I THOUGHT I SAVED MY WRITEUP IN NOTEPAD TO FINISH. APPARENTLY NOT. NOW I HAVE TO WRITE IT ALL OUT AGAIN. ENJOY A MUCH WORSE, PROBABLY TIMELINE-INACCURATE VERSION OF WHAT I HAD.
Okay~
Here we go! Let's start at a long, long time ago in a galaxy far far awa-wait, I'm reading from the wrong thing. One sec. Okay, here we go. This was...like a few days ago, actually.
So, it's the day of TC. I'm freaking out. I'm paranoid that MOONica, the crazy psychopath of Bermuda, has a hidden immunity idol. I want to toss a stray vote, but I realize, if I do do that, people will be pissed at me and I could potentially fuck up my game. So, I try another idea. I try to get other people to split the votes for me. So I basically talk to everyone and try to plant as much "what if Monica has the idol?" paranoia in as many people's heads as possible. Charlie, Edgardo, Katie, I would've done it to Lex too if he had bothered to log on at all the whole day, lol.
But, something strange happened - Chet and Monica posted in the TC thread one single minute apart. This caused, well, EVERYONE to freak out. They didn't talk to anyone else, but they posted in the TC thread just one minute apart. Monica didn't bother socializing with anyone. She just acted comfortable and uttered one word. Only one word to all of us. A single, hollow "Monica" echoed throughout the group chat. It received no reply as everyone was too busy being freaked out and laughing.
However, that lackadaisical attitude caused people to suspect her of thinking she was safe, due to an idol. We all freaked out, because they posted one minute apart - what if, what if they were going to try and idol someone out? A single vote wouldn't prevent that. If they were working together, they could cause a gigantic clusterfuck vote to happen, and chances are a Kidd would go home since there were three of us, and only two Lowe and Every. It was NOT a fun situation.
Eventually, I got Charlie to snap and go completely off the wall bonkers like I was. I mentioned I could to the vote, but then I thought Chet would be mad at me, and he offered to do it for me. <3 My hero <3 Unfortunately, this was when the split vote paranoia came into mind - Charlie knew of my deal with Chet, but, if Chet and Monica were working together to idol someone, just one vote wouldn't stop it. So, since Katie was offline, we decided to try and convince Edgardo(one of the only actually legitimately sane people in the game at this time) to split the vote with Charlie. I came up with the idea to pretend I was AFK and thus, couldn't do it! So it ~had~ to be Edgardo, right?
Unfortunately, that's what we hoped. But Edgardo, one of the few people in Bermuda who wasn't a complete paranoid wreck, decided "it would be stupid for chet to do that" which, while completely true, did not really put at ease my fears at...well, at all.
Eventually I stopped being "AFK" and messaged him myself to hope and convince him, since Charlie's attempts were not working very well at all. It didn't work as planned. He basically just said "Hmmm maybe you and Charlie should split the vote" and I'm like
dude
why don't you do it
But he was determined not to. I just gave up and said "well maybe we shouldn't split the votes anyways idk" then he proceeded to go tell Charlie "I think alina will split them if you ask" and it was just like uhhh okay...
Edgardo, I think, just didn't want to piss Chet off and just wanted him to be mad at me and Charlie. He's smarter than you might think at first talk. He's actually pretty smart, but...I'm on to him. ^.~
Eventually, I went along with the split-vote plan, because, well, I sure as hell didn't want to be idoled out.
Before the TC, I tried to approach Chet and tell him the vote-split was going down, but in the middle of the conversation, Jeremiah decided to post the results an hour early and totally screw everything up and make Chet not trust me. Thanks, Jeremiah. (Brian, I think you should give him an OTTN for that. Thanks. Wait, you don't edgic the host? Crap.)
That set loose a freaking storm of bad, bad, bad things.
Basically he had a flipout after the vote and went "SO MUCH FOR ONLY TALKING STRATEGY WITH ME!!!!!!" He wasn't even in Chet mode. He was in seething anger mode. It was a strange sight to behold, really. I kind of just...stopped messaging him. I had no idea what to say. Jeremy, the foul beast, ruined all of my plans. He's late when you want him, but when you want him to be on time...
Katie logged on, and had absolutely no idea wtf happened, since she was at work or something? I tried to explain it to her and when she talked to Chet she also voiced that he was, indeed, quite the pissed off little man. We tried to come up with some way to quell his anger...but yeah. He wasn't really interested in talking. Understandable, I mean, I'd be pissed off too if I was him. It was all Jeremoo's fault.
So I gave up and just tried to talk to Charlie about how insane we are and how bad we done goofed. Weee pretty much admitted to ourselves, that hyeah, we screwed up. Big time.
Edgardo was like "lol I guess he's not going to be calling us his darlings and dears anymore" or something, which was pretty funny. Also Lex came on and was totally, utterly, absolutely pissed about it. He told me beforehand that he and Chet had some kind of strange secret alliance - not sure if I mentioned that in here. Of course, it's not very secret considering I know about it, you know, like, how I know every other single thing in the game. So clearly he was pissed about someone he thought he had getting votes. I think he was way more furious than he would've liked me to know - he tried to get me to make up with Chet and told me that Chet thought I was avoiding him, which was both true and not true. It was more so that I had absolutely no idea what to do or say now.
So he basically told me to talk to Chet and then had to leave. I was like uhhhhhhhh okay...but I still had no idea what to say. Kathy messaged me at some point and we talked a bit about the TC and how pissed Chet was, and she said she'd talk to him for me. Thankfully, she managed to explain everything to Chet for me that I was "sorry" and etc, and I just had no idea what to say
That worked out, and me and Chet became buddy-buddy again. It was nice.
Although, I basically had to frame Edgardo and Charlie for the split vote idea. Which WAS technically true, I mean, they were the ones who brought it up. I was just subtly hinting at the idea! So basically he immediately told me he wanted to talk to Katie now and get rid of Charligardo. Of course, I didn't want Charlie gone - but getting rid of Edgardo, at this time, seemed fine with me.
Katie logged on later, - I told her me and Chet had made up and it was great. Previously, I had been offered an alliance by Edgardo of himself, me, Charlie and Katie, which I was actually on board with, prepared to vote out Lex if I really had to. Why did I think that was a good idea? I'm really not even sure. For some reason, somehow, I had some plan that made sense in my head. It's gone now. Why the fuck did I want to vote out Lex? I don't even remember.
But here's the thing: Katie then started telling me how she didn't trust Edgardo, and how she wanted him gone. I was in shock! I thought all the Everys were tight as hell, and there would be quite the clash come merge time, but, evidently, she started talking about how he didn't share the treasure map, and how she thought he had the idol and how she wanted to split the votes on him and Charlie. She said she didn't trust him or Charlie, and once again, everyone's talking to me about an alliance. I'm not even doing anything anymore. I'm kind of just sitting here in front of my computer and every five minutes someone comes up and offers me another alliance. It's pretty nice.
Charlie was on at the time and I was feeding him everything she was telling me; I mean, hey, he's loyal to a fault, yeah? I may as well keep him on board with me. He was in shock. He was pissed over how much of a schemer Katie turned out to be. I'll admit, I was pretty shocked too! It's always the cute ones. Or something. It kind of made me a bit scared of her - I didn't expect her to summon up a strong strategic side like that. But I assumed that meant that she trusted me, and so I was cool with that alliance.
Boy, did that change last night.
Basically, last night, a clusterfuck of epic proportions emerged.
Edgardo came up to me and started talking about how he didn't trust the Everys, and how he hated all of them. I mean, I was kind of SHOCKED. Evidently, JT and Vytraitorass spoke with Colby in the first IC, and came up with the plan to push each other in the water so that they got points. Apparently, Lowe and Every have had an alliance all along. And Kidd was going to be the target at the merge.
Hahaha, are you kidding me? Fuck that. I'm not going down without a fight.
Apparently, Malcolm or Kathy IS going home over there - apparently Natalie and Kelly are playing Malcolm and Kath or something, I'm not sure. I anticipated this, but...damnit. There's a possibility he's just uninformed about what's going on over there, but...tch. Still annoying. But, the fact he spilt all this to me, you know what that means? There is ABSOLUTELY NO MOTIVATION WHATSOEVER FOR HIM TO TELL ME THIS IF HE PLANNED ON STICKING WITH EVERY. NONE. THE FACT HE DID THIS PROVES WITH NIGH CERTAINTY THAT HE IS INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH KIDD AND MYSELF IN A MERGE.
Congratulations, Edgardo, you just saved yourself from a fate I don't think you knew you were headed towards.
He claimed he didn't trust Every, didn't trust Katie, wasn't close with her and wanted to work with us and the surviving Kidd on the merge. And he said that even though we were outnumbered, we'd still have a chance. Why's that? Oh, because apparently he has the Every idol. He just told me that. I was like. Oh. Okay. In my head. I mean, I ACTED shocked, but I really wasn't all that surprised. I was in shock he TOLD me, but, once again, NO MOTIVATION TO TELL ME THIS IF HE WAS INTENDING ON WORKING WITH EVERY. Kiddgardo <3333 Seriously, I love Edgardo sm rn. He's amazing. I feel bad for ever disliking him based on what Charlie was telling me back on Kidd.
But now, I was aware we had two idols - and that a Lowe ASSUREDLY had to have an idol. There was a small chance only Charlie had the idol before, but now that Edgardo has one, a Lowe HAS to have one. I assume it has to be Chet, since Monica didn't have it - they were BFFs and it makes total sense for her to share the map with him. Evidently, Denise doesn't even know what UNIVERSE she's in, so it's unlikely she got it. Vytas...I suppose he could have it. He's a traitorous punk. Like really? YOU WERE TALKING TO PEOPLE CROSS TRIBE ON DAY FUCKING ONE! You little shit. I'm the "only person [you] talk to cross tribe". Yeah, you "get a good feeling from [me] somehow" HAHAHA. Okay. Screw you.
I told Charlie all of this since he logged on towards the end of me and Eddy-boo's convie, and he was totally baffled. I think he wanted to side with Edgardo more than Katie anyways; and this sealed it. It changed my mind from #TeamKatie to #TeamEdgardo for sure. And then we had the idea to have Charlie "reveal" the idol to us after Edgardo officially tells him. Basically, Edgardo wants me, him, Charlie, Lex for now, then in the merge we pick up Malcolm/Kathy. Preferably both, but...I'm not sure if that's likely.
Anyways, Edgardo did the whole song and dance with Charlie, and then Charlie "revealed" the idol to him. It was amazing. Now we have a solid 5(6?
We'll see tonight, I guess.) AND two immunity idols. I really don't see too many ways this can go wrong. This is fucking perfect. Vytas, you think you can play me? Die. Chet, you think you can play me? Die. Katie, you think you can play me? Die. Okay, well, don't die, but like...die in the game. Like. Have your torch go out. You know.
Then we faked an AIM convo of me "learning" about his "newly shared" idol, or whatever and he shared it with Edgardo. He apparently loved my reactions. Edgardo ily <3 Now that solid 3 is formed, and all I have to do is convince Lex to come with us and not go with the Katie and Chet gang. He evidently doesn't trust Charlie, which is annoying, but I'll make this work. If he doesn't go along with this I swear I will strangle him.
Man, I feel like this game is making me into a sociopath or something. It's pretty weird - I'm actually overemotional IRL but in this game I've basically turned myself into miss queen bitch manipulator of the galaxy. And I don't particularly feel bad? It's definitely strange. I've had a few emotional freakout moments, but, for the most part I don't feel all that meltdowny, unless you count paranoid meltdowns, in which case, there are many of those thus far and probably more to come. Fun for you guys, I'm sure, but not for me,
!
Oh yeah...we had that challenge, huh? Geez, that thing was annoying. That entire tribe did better than me, somehow, I mean, the whole time I just wanted to cut myself. Puzzles aren't my thing. I mean, I can do SLIDE puzzles okay, but JIGSAW PUZZLES? That's worse than waterboarding! Chet apparently threw it for immunity, and tried to pass it off as some "genius plan" to avoid Charlie and Edgardo getting immunity. Yeah, right, like you didn't make a deal. Chet, screw you. You're clearly untrustworthy, don't trust us, and want to work with Every. Screw you. A Kidd or Edgardo is taking the win, so either help us or get out of the way.
I'm hoping we merge next round - if it's another immunity, we had the idea to throw the challenge and vote off Chet so that the other of Malcolm/Kathy are safe, etc, but...if he has the Lowe idol...we're kind of fucked? Like, what do then? Not sure. So, hoping we merge at 11.
On the other tribe, Denise won immunity, which is, well, WORST CASE SCENARIO! I mean, Kathycolm were targeting her, but she managed to evade it with that immunity win, possibly completely fucking Kathy and Malcolm sideways. Not. Fun. At. All. Okay? Apparently Kathy had a MELTDOWN!!! And completely just wanted to throw Kelly under the bus if she and Nat wouldn't agree to voting Vytas. And speaking of that - I really fucking hope Vytas goes. That smug son of a bitch needs to fuck off. HE TOLD KATHY IT WAS HIS FIRST ORG. WHO THE HELL LIES ABOUT THEIR ORG EXPERIENCE? Like, I mean, I guess it could make you seem like less of a threat - but when I brought up that it was MY first ORG, he showed no response. What the fuck is wrong with him? He's lying over small things for no reason more than I am, and I'm doing that a lot. He better get his ass tossed out, or I'm gonna be pissed.
Apparently Kathy has a floater rep over there, which...lol. She's not a floater, she's an insane Pete Yurkowski on crack. I don't know how they're deluding themselves into thinking she's doing nothing? Because she's done plenty, at least from where I've seen. I guess that just shows how uninformed and stupid they all are. Makes me feel better if they're not informed. I'm happy about it.
Speaking of over there, Malcolm came up to me and started wondering what I was thinking for F3. Honestly, I want to go to the final 2 with Malcolm. Not Charlie. Charlie is too likable, I think - he'd kick my asssssssssss. Malcolm? I mean...he is kind of making bonds with some people I don't have bonds with, so that could be bad - but I don't think he's as charismatic as Charlie. But, I told him I didn't really know, since, truthfully, I DIDN'T! I'm just worrying about getting as much as Kidd as possible to the end - fuck Lowe, fuck Every, fuck them all. Also I was in total control at Kidd and I assume it'll be a redux of that just without any other tribes if we get down to it, so...lol. Queen Alina really is reigning again. I don't know HOW I'm doing it, but it keeps on happening.
Basically, he brought up that Charlie and Lex would probably sweep the votes - which is true. So we both agreed Kathy would be an ideal F3 partner. She probably wouldn't BEAT any of us, if it's a F3, and in a final IC, if it's a final 2, it's unlikely she'd win that. So it's pretty perfect. And if it's a final two I think Kathy would take me. I think Malcolm might take Kathy, tbh, but we'll worry about that bridge later. Let's worry about getting deep into the merge first.
I also told him that Charlie is trying to "buddy up to me" and that I think he's trying to take me to the end - this is because, ultimately, I am loyal to Malcolm and trust him(what a 180 from the first round, Ali! Lmao. I want to forget all my round 1 confessionals didn't even exist. So, so, so bad, and so, so, so dumb, me, congrats. x.x) and think I have a stronger chance against HIM in the end, rather than Charlie. This way, if Charlie ever outs the F2 thing, Malcolm's not surprised and still trusts me. I just softballed it. ^.^
So yeah, we've yet to talk to Kathy about this - I just messaged him asking if he wants me to talk to her about it, or me, or both of us...or what. I'm not sure what the best action would be. I feel like if I told her she'd be pissed that Malcolm told me to tell her instead of himself, like what happened with Lex - and if he told her she'd wonder why I didn't tell her. She's kind of uncontrollable like that. I hope a F3 deal will let us control her. Hopefully.
I know there was some other minor stuff that happened - I don't really remember what at this point. I'll bring it up in another confessional. I mean, I know there's other stuff that happened but it's just not coming to mind. I mean, I'm hoping Kathy and Malcolm end up removing Vytraitor from the picture and then we merge with a strong 6 + 2 idols, but I'm finding that possibility unlikely. Tonight's TC is going to tell a lot. And ours is going to seal Katie's fate. She's sweet and all, but...I'm the only rose with thorns allowed in this garden.
Oh yeah, PS, Brian: Kathy told me she likes talking to you on AIM. Your social game bypasses even the Host/Player barrier. I'm impressed. Give me lessons sometime? <3
HOLY SHIT I THINK TC JUST WENT UP
I'M SCARED
PLEASE LET VYTAS BE GONE
That worked out, and me and Chet became buddy-buddy again. It was nice. 
We'll see tonight, I guess.) AND two immunity idols. I really don't see too many ways this can go wrong. This is fucking perfect. Vytas, you think you can play me? Die. Chet, you think you can play me? Die. Katie, you think you can play me? Die. Okay, well, don't die, but like...die in the game. Like. Have your torch go out. You know. 
!
