1) With both Dan and Drew gone, you're pretty much in the minority in this tribe, do you see a way out of this situation?

2)Who do you think is the opposing alliance's weakest link?

3) You've talked about laying low pre-merge and then becoming a strategic beast during the merge, is this happening at all?

Hey Rocky! Congratulations on making it to Episode 12!

1) With both Dan and Drew gone, you're pretty much in the minority in this tribe, do you see a way out of this situation?

2)Who do you think is the opposing alliance's weakest link?

3) You've talked about laying low pre-merge and then becoming a strategic beast during the merge, is this happening at all?

i would like to start off by making a formal apology for not yet making a challenge for the merge. tonight will be the same, but it should be the last time i wont be able to make the challenge. usually all my shit in life is spread out but this week everythin is kinda happening at the beginning of the week

mostly not even school related, just life shit.

weekend i was visiting family, and that carried over until Monday. then Tuesday i had tickets for a concert, and tonight is an exam during the challenge. been fucked with all my shit in the span of the 3 first days of the merge, so i've been slippin challenge wise (and maybe a little socially/strategically but shit i think i try harder than some other fuckers trying on me).

so again, imma be gone tonight for the challenge, but following tonight i should be around for every damn challenge till i win.

now onto your questions. cause imma get existential today, i was tripping last night and that usually makes me get existential when i'm in orgs.

1) yes, i'm confident i will weasel out of this. shit isn't even hard, like... i aint even worried. i'll talk about that in a hot second on how im getting out of this.

2) penner/tammy although both have their plusses and i like em both.

3) if i'm being honest it hasn't happened, at least it hasn't happened with quality results. expect a change in that tonight, at least a change in effort. monday with rich gone i thought it'd be easy, tuesday with me at a concert i was fucked in the head, but today you got clean, mean, fighting rocky.

how i'm gonna switch shit up will be essentially crawling to val and ozzy again while simultaneously sucklin up to heidi/tammy. they have idols now, the games about to break, shit's gonna get real, and i'm in way better a spot then i think you motherfuckers realize. first of all i'm tight with hayden, whose the other person in our posse in a great position. sierra is no doubt gonna get more heat for being smart than myself/hayden and shug is hated for some reason, i legit dont know why they hate her. she seems so normal. its like hating a coffee mug, it's just i cant' find emotion to respond like that.

not only that but with my past reputation, if people see me scrambling to them, they're gonna think it's way more genuine. i know how to be on the bottom from faroe days, these fuckers just put me in my MOTHER FUCKIN ELEMENT BOY, i'm gold.

time to turn the gears and get to work though. i'm in this shit for the long haul

You mentioned something about being existential, do you want to elaborate on that a little?

oh where i'm being a bit more real and hard on myself.

cause i'm going to be honest, when i play these games, half the shit i say in confessionals is bullshit hype material to draw the eye. i'm a walking opening act in real life and i think in orgs too. i just try to provide energy. when i do that, i'm usually not totally honest with my shit.

half the time when i say i'm the shit, i dont mean it. the other half, i'm just being cocky. if i made finals tomorrow, i'd lose. that shit's plain and simple. i can't even lie about that. i still have time to change it, and i will, but if tomorrow this entire merge was dwindled down to me and any 2 others for an FTC, i'd lose.

but i still come up in my confessionals and try to rally confidence and enthusiasm just to try to energize myself up. i guess it's cause i need confidence to make moves. so when i just show up in here and flop my confidence on the table, it helps me talk to people in the game with confidence.

i dumb myself down a lot too when i try to build up hype, no one likes a smart cocky hype man, but you know whats dope? a dumb, cocky hypeman.

so around nows the time in games where shit actually matters. premerge you build a reputation, postmerge you execute. i'm where i want to be, but i'm also in trouble of just getting swept over. everyone is in trouble of that.

so when i got existential, i just guess it's fancy for "i'm getting real with the situation & with myself"

- Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:49:04 pm #4732 Ah I see, thank you for letting us in one that a little, the game definitely takes a toll on one's confidence levels what with the amount paranoia that usually pervades these things.

Let's talk about your relationships with your tribe-mates. Who are you closest to?

[Rocky]

- Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:51:04 pm #4733 hayden, definitely. we're in the same boat and i can level with the guy. i'm not sure if i can beat him in FTC yet but i'm sure as hell able to trust him for now. i also like shug and liked dan a good amount. on the other side, i dig them all, but some more than others. nate didn't respond to a single one of my offline pm's i sent him this week so far, and tammy is basic as fuck.

Would you say that you're counting Nate and Tammy out in terms of them having your back?

i think tammy yes, nate no. tammy has an idol and is completely content with where she is, whereas i'm not as sure about nate. he might need to make a move, and i'm hoping with me.
