Confessional #1

1. What do you expect from this experience?

2. What are some things you expect from the others?

3. Is the site easy enough to navigate? Do the colors work well in terms of readability?

4. What is your initial pre-game strategy?

5. Do you think you can win?

1) Having never done this before, I don't know what to expect from a personal standpoint. Except some fun .. I hope.

2) I expect from the other players to take it seriously, otherwise there's no point. I also hope there is some other foreigner on .. so if they're thinking about fucking me over just because I may occasionally make some grammar error, they instead boot the asian guy who's english vocabulary is limited to three words. Come that scenario, maybe I'll teach him some english. "How are you" could easily be translated to "I'm having a seizure, please vote me out" if you're not picky ...

Oh, and I also except the girls to vote with me just because of my good looks. As far as I can see I'm the best looking guy in this game.

3) No, I think the site layout works fine. Good job.

4) Coming into this as a freshman I have to see how everything works before being able to make that judgment. Whether the other players are experienced or survivor online babies is a huge deal. Generally I'll try to be nice to people; at the end of the game I may have some blood on my hands but I'll make sure I wear gloves.
Also, if somehow an immunity idol has been worked into this I need to think about that. Not that I'm crazy about immunity idols, but I realize that I can do everything right with alliances, have the perfect social game and completely run the game ... just to see myself booted with 1 or 2 votes against me by some lunatic. But what do I know. Maybe I'll be screwed over by some other random twist instead.

5) My first goal is to make it past the first vote, cause that's critical if you're a novice. You don't wanna go just because you haven't figured everything out yet. If I do that I'm sure I can win.

Just wanna share some random updated thoughts.

So me and Taro has a thing going. We're in an alliance and apparently Philip is on aswell. Personally I would like to see us all target Philip immediately. As an experienced player he's too intimidating. But I'm afraid that if I bring it up at this point my ass will be sent to redemption island for playing too hard. Taro agrees that we need to be cautious of him, but by bringing a blindside up I could make myself the one to be cautious about. I like Taro, unless I completely screw up challenges (he revealed athleticism is important to him) I don't think he will target me as of now.
