um I'm fuming? I just wrote a massive confessional and then clicked like the attachment button or something and couldn't get out of it or "upload" anything and lost my whole post. Reason #103094302 why Proboards sucks. Thanks Obama. I am writing this in Google docs instead to be safe.
AS I WAS SAYING, I'm ashamed to be making this thread so late, but life has been #hectic and while this is the only game I'm playing rn, I'm involved in some capacity in quite a few others and I feel like I can't juggle shit at the moment. It's late Sunday night as I type this and I should be doing a boring report for biochemistry instead, but I owe this game some LOVE. I'll recap everything from the last few days in this post, and from next round onwards I'll proceed with my typical cute banner-per-round jam.
(For the record, I’m probably going to be using people’s real names instead of their alias names where I know them, because I keep doing it by accident and going back and correcting it is a nuisance 2 me. Soz in advance. I’ll include their aliases in brackets on the first mention or something for reference, just in case anyone reading doesn’t know who I’m talking about.)

The vote was initially Reynold, which I was okay with because I don’t know anything about him and he hadn’t tried to talk to me at all. However, I then heard through the grapevine that Matt and Reynold were wanting (Bran)Don out, which I was 100% on board for. First off, (Bran)Don doesn’t seem to like how I play very much, and I don’t like my chances at continued safety with him around. Secondly, with a bunch of Warriors players around, there’s a strong possibility they’ll stick together no matter what, just like Chris/Daniel/me will probably be ride or die, and I don’t need that in my life. Lastly, putting the work in to keep Reynold around when he should have been doomed would indebt him to me, at least for a while. I got Daniel and Chris on board and told Travis (Cochran), Grant and Zach that the majority was voting for (Bran)Don (at that point I only had 5 votes, but everyone seemed to just want to make things easy). Travis and Grant agreed to vote with the majority, but Zach wasn’t having it. Big deal, I thought. Zach can’t turn the tables against 7+ people.
Wrong!
I put my vote in the night before and was out all of the next day. I come back and Zach, Grant, Travis, (Bran)Don and Na’Onka have somehow convinced Reynold that he needs to vote for Joaq to save himself, causing him to throw his vote and ensure his 5 - 4 - 1 demise. Like, gj, but why so shady? Any one of us very likely would have flipped our vote if we had been told that the majority actually wanted Reynold out. I wasn’t like, salivating at the thought of getting rid of Brandon or anything - I just saw an opportunity and took it. I’m not going to hold it against anyone, but for me it confirmed that Zach and Grant will probably continuously go to lengths to protect (Bran)Don as their friend, and that Cochran’s DNA is, in fact, 100% rat. No surprise there.
… Then again, maybe it’s best nobody told me to switch my vote. I probably would have refused because I put actual EFFORT into that GIF parchment and I would NOT want that thrown away for nothing. Smh.
At the other tribal council, Tyson went home. No great loss. He shaded me in the group chat, and now he has paid the price. There’s obviously a reason he didn’t get All Stars the first time around.
Team B is a little harder to call. I honestly have no idea about the dynamics between people who are at that TC, but I know that Daniel and Marta have some kind of beef, which doesn’t bode well for Daniel, because Marta gets what Marta wants. I can probably get Jamie and Frank to vote in Daniel’s favour if I’m able to catch up with them before deadline, but the best that’ll do is force a tie, and I don’t know who I would even want out of the other three. I assume Courtney and Brenda are pretty tight, so maybe breaking them up would be smart, but Daniel mentioned Courtney being Marcus from Warriors and “owing” him, so I can’t see her leaving (sadly. I don’t really like the guy as a player), and I kind of like Brenda. Marta and I get along super well and I can’t allow the #Sierrority to be smashed this early. Ugh. IT’S TOUGH. At least I’m safe though
NO 1ST, 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH BOOT FOR ME.
OK I’m done with this now. Bye!!!!

Trust No Bitch
Since I somehow completely forgot to include Chris (Matty) in my cast assessment (which is actually odd af because I thought a lot about what I was going to write for him), I’ll address this first. I think I mentioned in Sierra’s diary V1.0 that Chris is the only person in the ORG world that I trust implicitly game-wise (and overall, really). Long story short, joke’s on me, because in the last game we played together (post-TSG), he stabbed me square in the back with a bolo knife (listen for fun and profit. Profit of the eargasm variety). I know it’s just a game and whatever else, but the way he went about it really bothered me, and I do not think I will ever trust him like I used to. In saying that, I expect him to be loyal to me this game, if only because he feels guilty and does not want to test our friendship. It sucks to think that might be the ONLY real reason I can trust him not to betray me, but I’ll take what I can get at this point.Weeknd Warriors
As I mentioned in my cast assessment, on the first day of the game, I reached out to Frank (Coach) and offered him an F2 alliance. I did this because a) I really want to see him fucking make jury for a change, that shit is depressing af and b) I think I can make a truly loyal ally out of him because I am charming and cute. He was offering to convince JT to vote in my favour if we lost the creative challenge before it even started, so I definitely think he’s looking out for me (just the first stage of me #whipping him). I have noticed that he hasn’t been around as much as some of the others, though, so I hope that doesn’t get him booted this round. I’ll include the graphic I made to #sealthedeal here for fun:The Legend of the Mini
Leading on from my F2 with Frank, I recently had an F3 in the Epic post-season mini with him and Grant (Alec), which we managed to carry to the end (I won obviously dw). Grant made a joke during the mini that we’d also be the F3 of TSG, and he brought it up again a couple of days ago. I am seriously considering pursuing an official F3 deal with the two of them, but there are a couple of things stopping me. The main thing is that I want to trust Grant, but I can’t. I have never played with him before, but he’s always rooted for me in every game he has viewed me in, which means a lot to me because I am a massive whore for PW love (GIGANTIC HINT!!!! HI GUYS!!!!). However, I think he’s the same kind of player as Zach (Fabio), in that he factors his feelings and who he likes into his decisions, but gameplay trumps that when it comes down to it. I think I can count on Frank to stick by me even when it isn’t the best choice for him game-wise - I don’t feel the same way about Grant. I also don’t trust him not to report everything I tell him back to Zach and Don (Brandon), so there’s that. I will try to keep him close, though, if only to try and keep my bases covered.
Administration Nation
Since Daniel (Carter), Chris and I are hosting Twisted together and the new season just started, we talk constantly throughout the day, and TSG naturally comes up in conversation. I think we’ve had an unspoken alliance since the start, but Daniel and I kind of solidified something with each other anyway. I think I can trust them both 100%, Daniel because he’s bae and has no reason to turn on me, and Chris for the reasons listed in chapter 1, verse 1 (Trust No Bitch). I’m really hoping both of them make it through this round so I’m not left in the dust without my two closest allies this early on. I think Chris should be safe, but I’m less sure about Daniel. He kind of pulled the short straw as far as teams this round goes

Restocking the Joaqamole
Contrary to the fears I expressed in my cast assessment post, I think mine and Matt’s (obviously Joaq, duh) relationship is in a really good place. We reconnected over the clusterfuck that was round 1 (more on that later…), and he messages me often when he’s on invisible and avoiding everyone else <3 I can’t not love him. I am jealous that he and Chris probably love each other more than either of them love me though </3 MY EGO WON’T ALLOW IT.Fuck Off
I don’t know what else to title this segment. Last round was a bit of a joke. AN ANNOYING JOKE, TOO. I thought we were fucked in the challenge so I was freaking out a bit trying to figure out what the worst case scenario would be and what I could do about it etcetcetc and then everyone went to sleep and my timezone set everyone's shit on fire and we ended up getting second. Sadly, the drama was only beginning.The vote was initially Reynold, which I was okay with because I don’t know anything about him and he hadn’t tried to talk to me at all. However, I then heard through the grapevine that Matt and Reynold were wanting (Bran)Don out, which I was 100% on board for.

#ShadyNaveet
I’ve heard from Chris that Nav is likely the boot target for his team this TC, which HARK NOW HEAR THE HERALD ANGELS FUCKING SING I will be so happy if that actually comes to fruition. The earlier Nav goes the better. I do not need someone who actively wants me out of like, every fucking game we play together to stick around for any longer than absolutely necessary. That would be my ideal boot from Team A, no question.Team B is a little harder to call. I honestly have no idea about the dynamics between people who are at that TC, but I know that Daniel and Marta have some kind of beef, which doesn’t bode well for Daniel, because Marta gets what Marta wants. I can probably get Jamie and Frank to vote in Daniel’s favour if I’m able to catch up with them before deadline, but the best that’ll do is force a tie, and I don’t know who I would even want out of the other three. I assume Courtney and Brenda are pretty tight, so maybe breaking them up would be smart, but Daniel mentioned Courtney being Marcus from Warriors and “owing” him, so I can’t see her leaving (sadly. I don’t really like the guy as a player), and I kind of like Brenda. Marta and I get along super well and I can’t allow the #Sierrority to be smashed this early. Ugh. IT’S TOUGH. At least I’m safe though
NO 1ST, 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH BOOT FOR ME. OK I’m done with this now. Bye!!!!
We've discussed having the same bootlist for this TC round and we're also going to play LoL together which I think will solidify our relationship (HENCE THIS HEADER). I can't imagine playing fun video games with someone one day and having them blindside you the next. That would be rude, WOULDN'T IT?
