YES COACH IS GONE. I'm sure he had his fans up there in PW world, especially JT, and I am truly sorry to crush your dreams of him redeeming himself, but I can't put into words how happy I am that worked UGH.
I've been long overdue for an actual swap confesh explaining everything, so here we go. God this is awesome.
Okay, so, like seventy-trillion days ago or whenever it was, we go to our immunity challenge after picking our names on a list, and LO AND BEHOLD, it's a tribe swap. Oh no, much shock! I wasn't really surprised tho, because like I said I picked my spot in the list trying to angle for a top ally in Hope/Bob Dawg regardless of if it was split top/bottom or even/odds, and I can't check the list now bc I'm closed off to the tribe board BUT I think it was split evens/odds, so...I called it. I lied in the group chat about being surprised, sorry JW, I totally saw this coming the second I saw us picking stuff on a list.
So myself, Courtney, and Bob Dawg all picked evens, and we're all sent away to the lsadpofjs aspfkofsaojfksn tribe, which I've since learnt is called Losadasafj a;lskeksei or something like that. Anyways, for the other team, Elyse, Brenda, Sandra, and Pete were sent over to join my remaining Malaga brethren, Hope, Jefra, John K, and Cochran. I only miss Hopegoddess and to a lesser extent John K. Cochran sucked and Jefra is a wildcard I'd rather not be around because she's wayy too controlling for my liking. I like being able to think for myself, THANKS BYE.
So anyways, I end up on a tribe with myself, Court, Bob Dawg, the insane Shane, Alec, Coach, Cao Boi, and Morgan. I could immediately tell this was going to be a mess with Shane with us. However as I've said previously Shane has grown on me and I'm actually quite sad he's leaving on vacation, he was probably in my top 3 favos to talk to just because I could pretty much say whatever the hell I wanted and not care. Sucks I'll possibly never see him again now that he's going overseas or something, but alas, I must move on.
But yeah, back to where we were. Immediately, not five seconds after we swap, I'm swarmed by Shane and Cao Boi. Shane who is like "WE HAVE TO VOTE OUT COACH I HAVE ALEC AND MORGAN? U IN? YA U IN. K." And then Cao Boi who is like "Oh yes, we must simply remove Shane from this game, he is such a foul soul indeed." (yes he actually types like that its kind of weird) So I feel like miss popular off the bat. I expected it to be possibly a tribe vs tribe thing for a round or two, but hey, if you guys want to splinter and actually give me a chance, cool! Thanks! Tribe wars are boring anyways, so I'm glad it doesn't seem like that is happening.
Anywho, Courtney is also swiftly approached by the both of them and we are very quickly swing vote angels. I'm pretty happy I ended up with Court because we are literally ALWAYS on the same page and it is amazing. There has literally been no time at all thus far we've thought different about something to my knowledge, and it is freaking fantastic. I love her. She can be kinda quiet sometimes but hey she's kickass and I'm so glad we're together.
We have Bob Dawg with us who literally no one messages because he was on vacation when we swapped and wasn't really around. So. He felt on the outs later, but we'll get to that.
Anywho, I end up bonding quickly with Alec, Shane and Morgs, while Coach and Cao Boi barely bother to socialize with me at all. Like, lol, if you want me to side with you, get me to like you. I'm not gonna side with people who make no effort to get to know me on a personal level. My entire favorite part of ORGs is socializing and learning things about people, so if you're not doing that with me, then you're essentially useless.
However I quickly learn that they're mainly bothering with me while Court is a sideshow and no one ever really bothers with Bob. Don't get me wrong, I love this. I was the prom queen and everyone wanted me to control my Malaga slaves or something, I don't know what their perception was, to vote their way. I was cool with this because it quickly became apparent that any paranoia I would have here would likely be misplaced unless they are exceptional actors. I get paranoid easily until I see things go my way enough times, but see, I got good vibes from this from the start. I loved this new tribe. So, so, so much more than former Malaga. I said I didn't want a swap? I was wrong! The swap was fantastic and I thank you for doing it this early.
We eventually got our immunity challenge, which was to make a picture or something, it was what we did in Palawan and I basically suggested the same ideas in the group chat that I did back then - because hey, we won that challenge and kicked Coron's ass(like always because Taytay ftw even though lets be real Coron actually had better people for the most part :X espesh after the 3-tribe-divide) so I thought it would work for us here. There was a little twist to getting the items that I'm too lazy to go into, you either already know what it was, and if you're some rando reading this in the future, IDK, go check out the challenge, I'm too lazy to explain all that crud dwi.
Coach stepped up as our magnificent leader, I mean, I have some photo-making skills, but I honestly was too lazy to do anything so I said I was awful and should only do it if no one else can. So Coach stepped up. Cool. He then proceeded to post random signatures he made for himself in other games which I'm rather sure are ongoing but whatever to brag about how good he was. The sigs were actually pretty good so I felt comfortable having him in control.
Then I saw what he was doing with the picture.
Dear god.
I mean, I didn't say anything, but I thought we were boned the second he had himself hanging off the flagpole. That was just the first strike that gave away... yeah, we're not going places with this are we. When I saw the completed image I honestly thought it was bad for so many reasons. He didn't include everything in the image, it was just...no, I'm not even going into it. I mean, I got some hope when I saw the other tribe had VERY LITTLE supplies for their challenge but regardless they still rightfully wooped our asses. And I had to go to tribal for the third time in a row. I don't know wtf is wrong with me in this game. I've never lost this much. I guess these comps don't have much personal skill involved and are all kind of just group things, so my personal power in some respects can't make a difference, which sucks because I'd like to show off and win shit because I like to win but oh well.
Either way...tribal. Woohoo. OH SORRY I MEANT FUCK. I mean, yes, I was kind of in an all powerful amazing swing vote position(ACTUALLY this time, not just THINKING and HOPING I was) so it wasn't all that bad. The problem was immediately the tribe split. Bob Dawg comes back and is like NO WE SHOULDN'T SIDE WITH SHANE HE'S CRAZY and it's like um okay. He was so overdramatic about it that it was just quite suspect. It made so much more sense to side with Shane. Keep him a round, then next round we have a guaranteed meat shield or a bootlist, depending on if we want challenge strength or loyalty. Who cares if we lose challenges? We're losing anyways. We may as well have loyalty so that we never go home. That's what makes sense to me. But no. Bob Dawg couldn't possibly side with Shane. Which sucked because me and Court both wanted to slay Coach gone SOOOOOOOO bad. And with Alec/Shane/Morgan, boom, that's five ez. With Bob we have 6 but it's really just 5+1 because Shane won't exist soon. IT'S A PERFECT PLAN. ugh
HOWEVER as it turns out, Morgan wanted Bob gone because she'd never spoken with Bob or Court and I can't blame her for that. She wanted them gone to weaken Malaga in the future though which is bull because she was telling me how she didn't care about tribe lines and was hoping we could be frands. Honestly though I love Morgan and she is delightfully bitchy and she's amazing and adorable all at once.
So Alec decides, okay Morgan isn't voting with us, but I have Court and Bob right? WELL I SAID YES BECAUSE I FIGURED I'D BE ABLE TO CONVINCE BOB so he was like K and decided to tell Coach/Cao Bob as the decoy vote. Which was really dumb because it made Bob freak out and get paranoid it was him and not trust Alec. Ugh. I totally get why Alec did it tho and don't blame him, it made sense, he was on vacay. Like yeah, I guess it sucks to be brought up as a decoy boot so I can't blame him for not trusting Alec, but I knew EXACTLY what Alec and Shane were doing and spreading, I just guess I kept forgetting that I was getting so much more info than anyone else because I was closer with them and the main proponent of their plans.
Bob is super apprehensive about it but eventually he makes a group chat, me and Court sit him down and explain why we should target Coach while Coach goes after Alec because that's what Coach was sayin' at the time.
Bob says okay. Me and Court rejoice and thank jesus that he finally listened.
BUT THEN
A WILD CAO BOI APPEARS!
THE WILD CAO BOI USES: "So, Jaclyn, what makes you think Coach is the best idea for this vote, if I may be so blunt. I do not seek to push you into a corner, but I genuinely wish to know why you think this."
Jaclyn uses "WTF BEAM", it's not very effective...
SOMEHOW Cao figured out my plan and preference. What? IMMEDIATELY after I tell Bob? Bob wouldn't tell him, right...?
"In case you were wondering, I heard it all from Bob. He says that you and Courtney prefer to vote out Coach. Why is this? Shane will not be here after tomorrow. T'is absurd to keep him around, I say. Indeed. *sips tea*"
And he ADMITS BOB TOLD HIM. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THEEEE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, BOB?
? This pissed me off so much. You just agreed after saying you were fine either way but said you would prefer to take out Shane! Screw you! UGH. A perfect plan and he rats me out??? You kidding me? After this, not only did I want Coach gone more, I wanted to slaughter Coach. Clearly, I couldn't trust Bob in this game and he was close with Cao Boi(he actually admitted this in an earlier conversation saying they talked all the time pre-swap lol) and Coach more than me. Bob showed me his true colors right then...and I didn't care for them. I prefer red.I talk to Courtney about this and we both believe we should still push Shane. YES! THANK. GOD. COURTNEY. YOU. ARE. MY. SAVING. GRACE. AND. MY. ANGEL! If Bob/Court/Cao are a 3, and then Morg is running around possibly siding with them, that's a 4. And then me and Court could very well be fucked in the future. But siding with Alec/Shane...? We can get the power all for ourselves. Why let ourselves fall into a minority position where we could get picked off by a potential four? Sure, that four seems ridiculous to me NOW, but at the time, it was a legitimate threat. Morgan was OBSESSED with not voting out Coach and Alec said she even yelled at him not to do it and threatened him that she would be "done" with him. I thought this was a sign the four could easily align and wipe the floor with the rest of us. Obviously, I did not want this, so it only further increased my bloodlust for Coach's disaster.
So I got Alec on the same page, he got Shane on the same page, I got Court on the same page, boom. Four. If I have to force a tie, then I will. They won't draw rocks for Coach. I'll draw rocks for Shane. Yolo. Court probably wouldn't have but Alec knew he was fucked along with me if this didn't work, so...yeah either way I was DETERMINED to slay Coach. So we paniced, trying to figure out a way to gain the votes.
Eventually, Alec became an idiot savant. Bob told Alec he wanted something "long-term" to appease him if he voted with Alec. Alec took this as a way to offer Bob a finals deal, which honestly was wayy too much lets be real here. Alec told me about this because...I actually don't even know. For some reason, Alec really trusts me and wants to work with me so...whatever. Let him, he's a cool dude. So then Bob suggested my name(omg so flattered bob dawg but this doesn't make up for your previous incursions against me) to join in the final 3 club. So it became sorta official and I used this as leverage to pit Bob against Coach.
BUT HE STILL DIDN'T BUY IT WTF.
I was not just about to surrender--even if Bob seemed legitimate to me in this moments, I couldn't take the risk of him being deceitful.
So I just played up whatever I could think of.
And apparently saying I had bad gut feelings about getting rid of Shane was enough.
Like wtf.
How did that even work.
I don't know but it did and I am content with myself. I think I just finally got him to gave up. He probably doesn't trust me anymore buuuuut whatever I don't trust him either, so. In the end, I got him to vote Coach. Boom. 5. Votes. Slaughter incoming. Heck, me and Court were gonna vote Coach without him and explain to him on the revote so I'm quite glad we had to avoid that. Geeze, that would have just been even more awful than what actually happened LOL.
OH YEAH and me and Court were being hilariously vague in the group chat to avoid committing to anything. Oh my god I should post the log here it was BEAUTIFUL. Bob was so flipped out about the vaguness continually pushing for a name but me and Courtney were like nopenopenopevagueweredoingwhatsbestforusthree. WHICH IS TRUE we were doing what's best for US THREE unlike BOB who was thinking only of his own thing with Cao Boi. Bob actually flipped out about the vagueness of Courtney's and for some reason wasn't worried about mine and was talking about how it was shady of Court I was like OH NO YOU'RE RIGHT because duh why would I disagree but lol I'm in the know and you ain't, mwahahahaha. I love when that happens because it makes me feel so much better about positioning.
Eitherhow, boom, it worked. We got Bob. Morgan later showed up and I told her everyone was saying Coach which got her on my side. Alec and Shane(but apparently mostly Shane) talked to her too and boom we got her on the Coach train. YES. 6-2. Obviously we weren't telling Cao because Cao is um...Cao. And Coach's #1 ally - we couldn't have that lolz.
Anyhow. It worked out. Coach got slaughtered 6-2 and Cao Boi immediately logged off AIM. I actually feel kind of bad, but hey, I was just doing what I thought was best for me sry. I'm sure he's mad, but he might not be first to go. He might be second. I mean...we do have Shane, but I don't know what the plan right now is, to keep Shane more or just pick of Cao Boi next. I'd rather get rid of Cao Boi because Shane is a known variable and meat shield while Cao could flip on us and fuck us at any time if we swap/merge again which I believe is a rather strong possibility since we initially swapped so early, but I promised Bob Dawg we'd get Shane next after this round. Ew. Sigh. Whatever, I'll figure it out.
Anyways, after the vote Morgan came to me and says she hates Cao Boi and that he is the spawn of satan and must die(you might think I'm exaggerating, but this is essentially what she was saying. She's such an over-dramatic goddess <3) and Shane is gone and Alec is only okay so she wants to work with me and Court. COOL. So we made a F3. Well, I haven't talked to Court yet bc I missed her online but she's talked to both of us apparently. So now I'm in two final 3s lol. Me/Alec/Bob and Me/Court/Morgan. Fun! I don't plan on overcommitting because when I get info I ALWAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS overcommit. It is SUCH a bad flaw of mine that I just give too much info to one side then I can NEVER go back to the other. So I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut and see how it goes, ride it out and see what works out.
The thing is, while I trust Alec a good bit especially because he's been giving me so much info, I don't trust Bob worth a damn. Hell me and Alec have already agreed Bob is expendable lol. :x But yeah I trust Morg and Court both quite a bit so if I had to choose I'd pick them because I trust them both instead of just one. I dunno. Either way, I think right now I'm kinda ruling the roost and am the queen of this tribe. Which means you're probably going to toss a random tribe swap or early merge(with an unmerge???) at us which is going to make me cry so don't do it. I like this tribe. Don't fuck it up so soon. At least give me one more round here. Or two! I'd prefer two.
There was more I wanted to say I think but I'm too lazy to remember. I'll add it in new posts later.
Anyways that is the story of (most of) the round three bullshit I had to endure. brb dead
can we throw your corpse at the enemies to demoralize them
