Fucking Fabio

[Fabio]

I'm baaack

[Fabio]

Round 1

So things that will be incoming tomorrow night if I get my act together

~ cast assessment -- who does Fabio know (almost everyone)? Who doesn't he know (NaOnka)? Who are Fabio's biggest threats (you'll see :^) )?
~ pre game alliances -- who has approached Fabio to work together? Who has Fabio approached? Who does Fabio want to work with?
~ general paranoia -- holy shit is Fabio in trouble? Will this be a repeat of Jiangxi?

All these questions will be answered eventually.

[Fabio]

OK time to go person by person and do a tribe/cast assessment.

Alec

I’ve known Alec for over a year now! He played in my series in one of his first games. Generally, we’ve always worked together in games (the exception being Tuvalu, funnily enough). He plays a pretty sneaky game and tries to play all the sides. That said, USUALLY he sticks with whichever side I’m on, which is good. He’s someone I really want to work with in this game because of that (and because I like him I guess). But we usually make a pretty good team!

Brandon

MY BFF. He’s my cohost in warriors, and it’s kind of a given that we’re going to work together in this game. I’m sure there’s a few people here who are going to see it coming a mile away, but I honestly don’t give a fuck. We’re a great team. That said, I am AFRAID that he’s going to troll and fuck up my game like he did in Jiangxi. In Warriors AS, he basically trolled that up too with the alphabet strategy. It was very entertaining from a host side of things, but as a player…well, I understand why they were annoyed with it at any rate. Overall, he’s a bit of a flight risk, but I can’t really vote for him because we’re so close.

Carter

Who is he jk. I know Carter because we’ve played in each other’s series. We’re decent friends, u know? But IDK if we’re going to work together in this game. Neither of us have really brought it up, although we’ve been having friendly nongame talk. But he’s friends with someone in particular that I don’t want to work with (you’ll see that later). I think I’d have to rank Carter as not a threat…but not an ally either I guess. It can go either way.

Cochran

My Tuvalu bae <3 I personally love this kid, but I know that there are a lot of people who DON’T. We’ve already talked about working together and this game, and I’m pretty much OK with that if the arrangements align. I’m not clear on how he plays, specifically. I played with him once but we were never on the same tribe. I know he’s not afraid to take risks, and he goes hard to secure himself a place in the game. We’re probably going to end up working together, so we’ll see what he’s like!

Courtney

I liked her during the little time we had together in Tuvalu. I’ve also hosted her a couple of times in Warriors. If there’s anything she’s good at, it’s surviving even though she’s hardly online. In Warriors, she would be the target in the beginning of the round, then Houdini it off of herself by the end of the round. In general though, she isn’t much of a threat. Like, not the biggest strategic player. So if she shows up – great – maybe we can work something out. But she’s so far the only one who I haven’t seen at all, which is somewhat worrying for her. Easy first boot?

Ian

Ian! I played with him in BB Defiance (which he won). I was a bitter ass juror and was super mean to him, even though I did end up voting for him to win in the end. But because of that, we have a bit of a weird dynamic. Like, he backstabbed me, and I was super bitter and said mean things about him. You would think that we wouldn’t want to work with each other after that, right? But meh. I like him a lot personally, and I’ve let him know that I don’t give a fuck about past games. And he seems receptive. Like, he wants to work with me. Hopefully he’s being legit – we’ll see once the game starts. But for now, I have him in the “tentatively working with” column.

Jamie

I like him! I talked to him a bit pregame, and he seems pretty sweet. Didn’t you all say he was jakbott? He’s much better than Jakbott, so idk if that’s true. But he’s nice – we had a nice talk about TV shows and other get to know you shit. Although I’ve already heard from a lot of people that he’s talked to a lot of people pregame, so I don’t exactly feel special lol. But I have no problem with him. He could be either an easy target for me, or someone to swoop up and work with.

Joaquin

Joaq…omg. Someone else I have a very awkward dynamic with. While Luanda was going on and Joaq was being a major goat, he was playing with me in Twisted 4. And…omg. We were like bitter rivals. I spent rounds plotting and trying to get him out, and he somehow managed to get himself immunity from F8 -> F3. Yeah, he can be a very powerful player. But since then, we’ve been on pretty friendly terms. However, I played with him AGAIN in Epic, and immediately tried to get him out of the game (for ingame reasons, not because of our prior games). But that really set back our relationship :<. I’m HOPING we can work together this game, but…I don’t know. We never see eye to eye for whatever reason. We definitely play very similar games – in terms of being really strong socially and being everyone’s best friends. Which is why we probably don’t see eye to eye a lot. But I don’t know! Putting him in the “idk” column right now.

JT

I like JT! I’ve played in his series before, and he’s played in mine a few times. Overall, I think he’s a pretty chill dude and fun to talk to. He’s pretty young – 16 I think? But he’s also a pretty smart guy. On a game level, he’s a bit hard to pin down. In warriors, he wasn’t afraid to flip and make a move. However, he was a bit afraid to flip back and make the moves that got him the win. But still, the whole ability to flip thing is something to watch. I think he’s a loyal type, until you’re disloyal to him. Just gotta keep that in mind.

Matty

Matty is probably one of the best people I’ve met recently in these ORGs. We get along really well, and I think we usually see eye to eye when we play these games. We’re both kind of “do whatever it takes” players (although I think he’s only recently developing that tendency really, but it got him his first win in Epic, so gg to him). But it is PROBABLE that we will end up working together this game. Very very likely. There’s just something about him that I love in an ally, and just keep on going back to.

Na'Onka

IDK her at all. Like, she is a total enigma to me. We talked a bit today, and she seemed pretty nice. We talked about how everyone lowkey listened to MCR as a child, and she randomly started hating on Big Tom. I thought that was funny, and kinda tried to feed it. If she just rando starts disliking Big Tom, better off for me right? Right now though, idk if I want to work with her. She’s an easy first target because not a lot of people here know her.

Reynold

Rey…I mean, I don’t dislike Rey. I don’t particularly like him either. I’m just very MEH on him. He’s not the most exciting individual I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I definitely owe him one because he helped me out during the endgame. However, I’m not sure if he’s going to want to work with me lol. If I were him, I’d be thinking ~~omg Fabio big threat so scary~~. Idk though. Putting him in the “idk” category.

Sierra

OK

OK

OK

HERE’S A LITTLE STORY.

So…Sierra played in my series last month. Throughout this series, I heard allegations that Sierra was breaking the oh so strict alias rule. People told me about it, wrote about it in confessionals. Hell, even she told me about it like once. However, I ignored it. Why? Because Sierra is a friend of mine, and I was just assuming she wasn’t doing it particularly maliciously.

She then got voted out in 10th place.

Now, Sierra was a bit upset about this and decided to go on a witch hunt on warriors!sierra (not TSG!Sierra). She accused warriors!sierra of breaking alias and having a VL leak – obviously something I took very seriously. I found out that, yes, warriors!Sierra did break alias. HOWEVER, she did not have a VL leak. TSG!Sierra basically demanded she be removed…even though she was committing the same crimes Warriors!Sierra did. Obviously I did not.

However, I did decide to equally punish them both by not giving either of them AS. Which she was incredibly upset about. Now, Sierra likes to spend her time bad mouthing my series both in front of me and behind my back!

So, I’m a little bit upset at her, and I’m, to be quite honest, not particularly interested in working with her! I’d be very happy if she was first boot, because I’m kind of sick of her!

Sierra Dawn

I luv her. Honestly, I love playing with her – she’s erratic, but hilarious to play with. She loves to get involved in drama, which is cool I guess. I’ve gone in and out of being her showmance, but I don’t think we’re showmancing this time  sad af.

Ok everyone from now on is getting shitty write ups sorry

Steph

Steph is my other bae <3 we first met in CYS AS2 and we honestly were such a dynamic duo. We kicked ass. Now, however, we aren’t really as close? Like, we’re still good friends but idk, not a dynamic duo relationship anymore. I hope we can rekindle that because I love her. In terms of play style…she knows what she’s doing. Which is dangerous. She always does what’s best for her, and knows exactly what it is.

Tom

NAV! I actually love Nav outside of this game. But inside of games he can be a bit of a pain in the neck. We had an awkward relationship in Epic, where I kind of brutally backstabbed him. Will he want revenge?? He said he doesn’t, but you never know. I’d like to work with him regardless, you know?

Tyson

Love this dude, he’s so chill. I’m glad we’re reconnecting from Jiangxi, although I haven’t gotten a huge chance to talk to him. Still, I’m happy he’s here. Apparently he’s close with Cochran, so that’ll be something I can work maybe.

(also sorry for the shitty formatting, I might fix it up later)


(and I'll add brenda/coach later)

[Fabio]

The Brenda Factor, And Coach

So, we got two new additions at the beginning of the challenge - Brenda and Coach. I know both of these people...pretty well, I guess.



Remember Tuvalu, guys? Remember when I told Brenda she was a sociopath after she lied to my beautiful John Kenney face? Well I do...but tbh, I'm over that. I've gotten to know Brenda since Tuvalu. Remember when she was RC in Jiangxi? And we went to the finals together after going at each other for a lot of the merge?

Yeah, we don't have the BEST relationship, but I think we both are water under the bridge type of people. I'm not going to gun for her, and I hope she isn't going to gun for me? Regardless, we are talking pretty frendlike right now, which is reassuring. With the shifting dynamics here, I'm keen on having as many friends as possible.

Next up



I actually LOVE coach, lol. Just on a personal level, he's pretty darn cool. On a game level, I've played with him a few times but I don't think we've ever gotten to work together (because he's gotten voted out lol). Maybe we can work together this time? I know he's basically affiliated with the warriors crowd, so that's an angle I can work you know.

The Pregames

Basically I've been wrapped into a lot of PREGAME alliances.

First, we have the "Bb defiance" alliance

+ + +

We all played in BB Defiance together. I'm actually OK with this alliance? Like, I'm pretty cool with all the people in it and like talking to them. I think we're all going to work pretty well together!!

Next up..

+ +

Brandon really wants this F3. I honestly think it'd be epic, because these are all basically my warriors faves. I don't think the three of us have ever really had a problem with each other game wise (OK, except Alec and I in tuvalu, but he didn't know that was me) and we all generally think the same way in these games. So, I'm more than willing to make this work.

+

I LOVE MATTY OK. I said this in my assessment, but he's a great ally to work with and we both have a yin/yang type of relationship. Matty is very good at calming me down in these games when I get a bit paranoid and crazy. It's nice. Every game we've played together we end up being pretty tight allies, and I'm 100% expecting that to hold true here.

So yeah, those are probably my strongest alliances here. I have some makeshift deals with people (Me/Steph, me/Sierra Dawn etc.) but those are the people I'm planning on being loyal to in almost all circumstances here.

General Paranoia...The Twist

Basically, I am NOT cool with this twist. I did this type of twist in Warriors before, but I don't think it's going to be as intense as this season. I'm very afraid that I'm going to get grouped with people who are going to fuck me over. Honestly, it's giving me Tuvalu flashbacks. When that fucking bitch Elyse regrouped the tribes just to get me out. Fuck her. =)

So yeah, I'm totally anticipating getting fucked over at some point in the premerge. My strategy right now is to not make any waves. Go with the flow etc. Then I can get to merge, where there will not be a new twist every single round. Then I can make some magic happen.

This tribal

So I'm immune! Guaranteed F18! I really wanted to win that challenge because I was afraid of being vulnerable. Karter/Matty/Sierra all host the same series, so I figured the targets were me and cochran. I felt pretty comfortable in that group regardless, but I didn't want Cochran leaving. He's a strong ally.

And I did it! Now I'm at tribal with my team and team A. IMO, the obvious target here is Reynold. I like the guy, but I don't know where he stands. He's not making much of an effort to talk to anyone. The other targets I believe is Na'Onka. She's an easy pick -- she doesn't know anyone here. But she's making a lot of effort to be social and shit, so I'm more inclined to keep her around over Rey.

THE ISSUE is that Sierra R. sent me a pretty cryptic message. She told me "Don't vote for Rey...make some magic happen with Brandon and Rey."

I'm kind of like at that. One, why does Sierra R want to keep Reynold around. TWO, why does she think I have the sway to make it happen? I'm pretty sketched out by it, tbh.

I'll be sure to keep you posted this should be an interesting tribal.

[Fabio]

OK addendum to my last post because I'm stupid

that was actually SIERRA DAWN that messaged me. Not Sierra R.

So it all makes a lot more sense.

[Fabio]

Apparently the vote is switching

To brandon :/

Yeah, apparently Reynold got on and asked Joaq who to vote for. Joaq didn't want to tell Rey he was the target, so he said Brandon. Rey then ran with this to Sierra R, who OF COURSE just decided to go with because she hates Brandon. Now Sierra R has been telling me that "everyone" wants Brandon out. Which I know is bullshit, because everyone is telling me that they're just voting for brandon because everyone else is.

What can I do? Not a heck of a lot, because Brandon has had awful social game up to this point. He hasn't talked to Karter/Sierra R./JOaq at all. Like come on duuude, I can't save you if you haven't talked to anyone. Help me out here.

I told him to campaign, and told Sierra/Matty/Joaq/Karter that I'd prefer Rey go and probably wont' vote for Brandon. All I can do at this point.

[Fabio]

I'm pissed. I've been thinking that Brandon is only going because of our relationship but I figured I was being paranoid. This kind of confirms it though.

She's not even on our tribe. I fucking hate Brenda. She gives me this bullshit about how she's so "straight up" but she's going around doing this sneaky shit.

Pro tip: if someone says they're straight up...they're NOT straight up

[Fabio]

Round 2

Fuuuuck that round was awesome

The Recap -- The Campaign

So HERE's what happened. Once Sierra R. and her twisted lackies flipped the vote, the rest of us basically banded together. And we had to decide who to target. INITIALLY, they were kind of gunning for Joaq. I did not want this, because I'm trying to actually work with that fucker in this game. Every single game, we end up initially on opposite sides, and some force tries to get me to vote for him. Not letting it happen this time. Anyway, I pushed the vote to Reynold, and reasoned that we had to get someone from the other side to flip. I didn't want the vote to tie.

Then, I basically spent the whole day trying to get joaq/matty/karter to flip. I knew that getting Sierra R. to flip was a lost cause -- she wast he one pushing so hard for Brandon. Basically, I made a huge bluff and said that we would end up going to rocks if the vote tied, and Joaq could end up going home. I knew for a fact that this wasn't true. Alec would definitely have flipped on the tie, and I'm pretty sure Nay was going to do the same thing.

And I ALMOST got them to flip too. Karter told me he was going to flip, as did Joaq and Matty.

Then...the Sierras came online -.-

The Recap -- Sierras Ruin Everything



Sierra R. is literally my worst nightmare. She comes online and immediately they all flip back to voting Brandon. Sierra R's reasoning was basically that they targeted Brandon. And if Brandon stayed in the game, they'd all be targets. This isn't ENTIRELY true. Sierra R. definitely has something to worry about, but she was already target #1 before this happened. Karter/Joaq/Matty have basically nothing to worry about in my books. Once Sierra R. goes, I think the pregame association will basically die.

But yeah...it is DEFINITELY annoying that they all just follow Sierra R.'s orders. People have said before that she has mind control powers, which is something she always laughs off and thinks is ridiculous. BUT, then she has all these lackies who do exactly what she says. She basically has three extra votes at this point, and that is fucking scary.



Sierra D. threw some wrenches into our tribal as well. Remember in Jiagnxi, how she was basically in love with Reynold? Well, spoiler alert, she still fucking is. And she tried to get me to flip the vote onto Joaq because she wanted to keep her baby Reynold in the game.

Unfortunately for her, that isn't good for me at all lol. Reynold never ever talks to me, and I spent the entire round gunning for him. Obviously he isn't going to work with me. So he really had to go, but unfortunately I knew that would piss Marta off.

The Recap -- Naonka's Plan

Naonka...dude that girl is not afraid to take risks and be a bitch.

She approached me right before I left to go out and basically said "Hey, do you want to just tell Rey we're voting Joaq?" I was like...lol it probably won't work, but it's worth a shot. Then I left and got blitzed and all that etc etc.

I sporadically checked my phone, and saw that I was in like...two new group chats. And had like 6 unread messages. Obviously, shit was going down so I ran into the bathroom for like half an hour to check it out. They had gotten Rey to flip, and were now debating whether or not to ACTUALLY switch the vote to Joaq or keep it on Rey. I frantically shouted at them to keep it on Rey and apparently they did! AND REYNOLD FUCKING WENT HOME FUCK YEAH. Great round for me -- I wasn't around during a lot of the real drama so I kind of stay out of focus. But I still got my goals accomplished.

New Team, New Tribal

OK ugh, now we're with a new group. And I'm still with Sierra R. lol fk. My goal right now is to win, which I can't really help a LOT with because this is a graphics challenge. IF we lose though, I think I'm going to go for Sierra, and get her ass out of the game.

Can I do it? I don't knowwwww honestly. I know Cochroach will be down. Maybe JT will be too? I'd have to check in with him. But the rest...I don't know man. Joaq definitely will not, it kind of all rides on Steph. If she's down with it, fuck yeah, let's get her out.

[Fabio]

REALLYYY hoping we win this challenge.

What I anticipate is a 3v3 split. Me/JT/Cochran vs Sierra/Joaq/Steph. The only one I want to vote out of those three is Sierra.

[Fabio]

Yay we won

[Fabio]

Round 3

Haven't confessed here in awhile sorry. But not much has been happening with the challenge taking some extra time. The big gossip, I think, is what Big Tom did on his way out. He sent an IM to brenda (who sent it to cochran who sent it to me) implicating a bunch of people in this big pregame. Me...hilariously being one of them.

He basically said that karter/sierra/joaq/matty are all really tight (true). He also said that me and brandon are tight (true) AND that we are tight with that first foursome...which is hilariously false. Brandon literally hates them all except for Matty, and I'm not exactly working with them at this juncture. But STILL, I'm wondering about the connection with brandon. Obviously, everyone knows we're close, it's not a secret. But I have an irking feeling that it will be my downfall. That someone will try to make a move on me or brandon because we're closed. It already almost happened in round 1, who's to say it's not going to happen again?

For now though, just gotta think about myself and survive. Then make the merge/jury. Avoiding tribal as much as I can right now, which has gotten me this far I guess. I'm yet to be vulnerable, and I'd like to keep it that way.

[Fabio]

Round 4

Bye Brenda, I wish I voted for you <3

[Fabio]

So I've become obsessed with being safe lmfao. I haven't been vulnerable at a tribal council, but this is looking like it might be the first round. Only 2 of us will be immune, and I don't have the best odds. HOWEVER, I put my ass into that challenge, for sure. I used taptalk and got like around 70 of them? And I know that a bunch of people probably aren't going to put a lot of effort into the challenge (early challenge, weekday, won't use tapatalk, etc.).

Assuming I'm safe, I think I can target basically whoever shows up at my tribal. If I'm not safe, I obviously have to be a lot careful. I'd LIKE to target Sierra, but after talking to Alec, I'm wondering if he'd want to do that. He basically told me that he wants to call a truce on Twisted because we're basically not targeting each other. Which I think is kind of stupid, because they targeted Brandon.

PRETTY SIMPLE, I know that Alec is friends with the Twisted crew and thinks he can use them to his advantage. So he doesn't want to get them mad at him.

Also, I'm kind of concerned that the warriors pregame rumors have been going around. A lot of people just stopped talking to me as often (Cochran, Na'Onka, etc.) I'm wondering if that's just because we haven't gone to tribal together...or because they want me out. :x I'm just rly paranoid again lmao.
