Episode One - Let the Games Begin!

Confessional

Well, it's certainly good to be back in the gaming world. I haven't played any games in a few weeks, so I'm almost as excited about the start of this game as I am the start of the real Survivor Samoa in just a few weeks.

I'm really hoping to play this game as passionately as I can. I'm well-known for being a loud mouth and social whore. My messages have been known to get a little bit lengthy, but I think people like that for the most part. I'm also extremely competitive so my strategy in the beginning will be weeding out the players who seem to like any passion or desire to put their best foot forward for the tribe and for the game.

Honestly, I'm anxious to get started, and I can't see what things are in store for me in this game. What I do know is I'll just take whatever comes my way in my pursuit to win this game.

I'm sure I'll be writing more later....

Well, what is a girl to do. Err... guy. Err.... however you want to view me in this game.

I'm a little bit stressed about that tribe's first challenge performance. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to say it was pathetic. I was the first person to do anything for the tribe in the challenge, something that scares me considering it was almost an hour into the challenge before I posted. To me, quick starts are essential to challenge success so I really want my tribemates to step it up. What makes matters worse is the fact that Brett didn't even show up, and Kelly's contribution was horrifically comical. It was pathetic. I really don't like Kelly so far, but I may need to get used to her being around for a little while (unless I can pull some strings to get her taken out -- which I might attempt to do).

To me, this tribe lacks both leadership and passion. It really is time to step it up a little. We're already down in numbers, and I'm not okay with that. Really.

I'm also ready to start pulling some strings in the alliance department. The game has begun. We're already into things. Let's get this going. Screw laying low. I want some allies. To me, Monica, John, Laura, and Erik seem to be the best options on the tribe. I think Dave and Brett could be as well, but it really does depend on their activity and passion for the game. I'm not aligning with weak players. Period.

We'll see how things go. As of now, I'm a little bit pissed and a little bit on edge to get things turned around and under way as far as my strategy goes. Tribal council is not a place I plan to be very often.

More to come...
