Title: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Holly Short on January 01, 2020, 01:50:01 am
Oh my! Who do we have here? A new officer joining the ranks?

Well thank the fairy heavens for that! The last new recruit we had was Sherly and he’s still bumbling about thinking of himself as a consulting detective. Pff!

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes!

Welcome! We’re excited to have you here.

This is your confessional, where you can post whatever you want. Your thoughts, your ideas, your deepest, darkest feelings! No evidence can be used against you here.

Please make a post in this thread to confirm that you’re still up for the task of joining the force. I wish you the best of luck!

I have been waiting entirely too long to post this.

Anyway, hi! glad to be here.

I already feel like I've forgotten how to play the game

question, why do I have to complete a captcha every time I send a PM

I think there's enough evidence that I'm not a robot already

It's a security feature for people with under 5 posts. I disabled it.

Hey, Ace. Happy to see you here.

You mentioned that it's been a while since you've been cast. What's your approach to this game?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 27, 2020, 09:38:42 am
Did I? I don't remember it being that long, though I guess time does drag and/or fly under quarantine

As an approach...I plan on trying to get a read on the tribe dynamics and adapting from there. I'll likely end up finding someone to be loyal to who also will sort of work as a shield, but that might be thinking too far ahead.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on June 27, 2020, 09:56:52 am
Any good reads on your tribemates thusfar? Any standouts to be your shield?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 27, 2020, 10:23:37 am
I do believe it's a bit early for that.

You can't solve this all by yourself, with out a raggy who would be your second in command?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 28, 2020, 05:37:25 am
If that's asking what I think it is...probably McGruff?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 28, 2020, 09:46:39 am
McGruff's going to end up being my #1 who inevitably stabs me because I end up the easy vote (im not bitter)

Leon complaining about hannah being hard to talk to while only giving me one-liners is entirely a mood and honestly probably something I did in my first game
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on June 28, 2020, 10:05:56 am
It sounds like there's a story here. What happened to you that you became the easy vote and how can you avoid it this time around?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 28, 2020, 10:16:36 am
A couple times I've just kinda found myself as the least liked of an incredibly popular tribe and gotten cut for it due to us kinda sucking at challenges (or loltwists)

Avoiding it this time? I'm not sure, I guess the best answer is to keep trying my best
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on June 28, 2020, 11:41:33 am
I find you very likeable so I'm rooting for you to avoid that pitfall this time.

You recently completed the first challenge. How did your tribe fare? Did you make any adjustments to your favorability towards any of your tribemates after its completion?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 28, 2020, 12:25:15 pm
appreciated!

I think we did well, though I don't have a frame of reference

I don't think it really changed anything for me socially
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on June 29, 2020, 07:09:14 am
If you were to rank your tribemates in terms of favorability, how would it go?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 29, 2020, 09:14:58 am
1. Scruff -- I think we trust each other and he's probably the strongest social player on this tribe, he would be good to work with going forward
2. Leon -- It's his first time playing apparently but he's been really nice to talk to
3. Jake -- Other potential social player except our conversation hasn't really clicked in the same way it has with Scruff or Leon, not really because of anything either of us has done so I'm not too worried about it
4. Lennie -- haven't talked with a ton but has been nice while available, though our convo hasn't really been as deep as with Scruff/Leon
5. Paul -- same as Lennie except a bit fluffier
6. Hannah -- talked a little bit yesterday but it's been kind of a while since I heard from her, our convo hasn't gone anywhere yet

As you wished, I did not open your mental breakdown thread. However, I'm also concerned that a mental breakdown thread exists. What's going on?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 29, 2020, 06:14:00 pm
Well, we lost the challenge, and I'm strongly of the opinion that all survivor games should have mental breakdown threads

It's like screaming into a pillow, essentially

Full disclosure: As a game mod I am obligated to read all threads.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 29, 2020, 06:30:28 pm
I mean, the "don't read" is mostly there for postgame and/or humor effect
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 30, 2020, 12:21:28 pm
For anyone interested I’ll be answering questions/summarizing tribal once I’m off work in about an hour and a half
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 30, 2020, 02:10:44 pm
Player - Last message I've sent (time) - Last public post made (time)
Paul - 30th, 06:10 - 29th, 20:23 -- this is probably fine?
Lennie - 30th, 06:12 - 29th, 22:08 -- also probably fine? I do wish people would actually answer me on tribal days, but
Leon - 30th, 06:13 - 30th, 14:01 -- this is twice as weird because he said he was going to sleep in his last post so he's just...ignoring me?
Hannah - 30th, 12:19 - 29th, 17:27 -- this is fine
Scruff - 30th, 13:59 - 30th, 13:23 -- hope he does get a chance to answer once we solidify on the vote
Jake - 30th, 13:58 - 30th, 12:06 -- cool. cool cool cool cool cool

I don't remember what the point of this was

I'm interested. What's your thought process?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 30, 2020, 03:36:09 pm
Well

Since everyone on the tribe seems to like each other, Jake brought up the idea of doing a process of elimination which ended up leaving out Paul and Hannah

Given that I've heard nothing from Leon other than vague sentiments of not liking Hannah early before he said he was leaving I think the best assumption to make is that he's voting there making Hannah an easier vote than Paul

Hey, bud.

That's a tough finish but no matter what, I'm here for you, both in this game and out. Feel free to have a postmortem chat and we can definitely chat more about the gameplay and what went down.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Ace Ventura on June 30, 2020, 05:14:41 pm
I should be getting added to the spectator forum soon so ideally we can talk there

and it happens, is what it is
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on June 30, 2020, 05:23:27 pm
You're a great player and I enjoyed talking with you. I'm happy to have you in the Spectator Station and I am looking forward to talking a good game with you there.
