Stranded in the Andes

This is the first officialday of your journey in Stranded! You'll have the weekend to get to know your tribe better, I suggest bonding well with each other over the coming days. There were questions in the pre-season confessional, but let's give a couple more.

1. The Tribe Leader is an intriguing position... what do you think it means? Would you want to be it or not? How do you feel of who gets it?
2. People are chatting it up today, so give us the deets: who are you vibing with, who are you more mellow on, etc?
3. Any plans for the weekend? Both in-game or out of it?

Trust me, when we say this game will get real intense and fast once the challenges begin to start after the weekend, we mean it. Good luck! And as always, feel free to type or speak whatever you want in here.

1) Tribe leader is certainly an interesting idea. Its totally got everyone paranoid. Most of the people I talked too are worried that there will be something negative attached. Literally, No one wanted to step forward to do it. Abraham, Evvie and I almost decided to have one of us take the crown. So I'm happy Deshawn took one for the team. Now Everyone is gonna want to get down on their hands and knees and unzip Deshawn. I guess i'll need to stock up on Chapstick and get in line myself. Did the other tribe even stay on long enough to elect their leader? 

2) The Ancha tribe is awesome! We seem to be a talkative bunch. I think I hit it off with Evvie, Abraham the most.  Initially Deshawn and I seemed tight but something felt off after he got leader. I think he's working with Sara. She seems sketchy. I already feel like I came off too strong in some conversations. I'm going to try and reign myself in with the chattiness now that I feel that I found a group. But now for the moment we (or at least I) have been waiting for!!!! 

• Abraham: What a cool guy. Him and I hit it off quickly and we have a lot in common. We both smoke weed and love horror movies. He sent me a pic of his plants and we spent alot of time talking about found footage movies. I find that weed is usually a great way to get in with people. Abraham, Evvie and I have apparently established a core 3 alliance with Shan and Deshawn as 4 and 5. We were gonna create a group chat but decided to wait until another group pops that bubble in order to avoid suspicion. Abraham told me that he and Evvie talked about it and he clued me into the plan. Obviously this survivor so I'm sure they may be saying that to other people too, But I have a good feeling about Abraham.

• Deshawn: initially I felt really good about him but now something feels off after he was elected the leader. HIm and I were initially chatting about being the first people on and being excited for the game. I think he told me it was his first game too. Then th etone changed after he was elected leader. I just feel like I can't trust the guy. He's definitely someone I'll at least try to connect with since he's the leader but then again everyone else is going to do the same. I can't decide whether or not he's radioactive for being the leader or if I need to start sucking him off.

• Evvie: Oh Evvie. Evvie is my gurl. We hit it off real quick and kept chit chatting it up into the evening. I mean ,we already had inside jokes after an hour and a half.  Of all the game players, I feel the tightest with her. She is part of our alliance with Abraham. But her and I seem to be each other's ride or die. We are the Honeymood Homies and if we make it to the end we have a pact to get it tattooed. Long story short, I asked her how soon she thought the honeymoon period would be over. But I mistyped Honeymoon  and said Honeymood and the rest is history. Now her and I are BFFs.  I feel confident with Abraham and Evvie at my side. 

• Sara: Sarah's a weird one. She told me that she was the backup for the OG Sarah which leads me to believe that she's a veteran. That makes her dangerous. I told Abraham about this but I don't think I told anyone else. Right out the gate when I first started talking to her she had some serious chops. She is really confident and started that icebreaker thread. I want to get to know her more just cuz I don't want to be on her bad side. She seems sneaky. 

• Heather. Oh Hi Heather. Nice to meet you!! Oh wait, that's a brick wall. I couldn't tell the difference.  What a bump on a log. She's really boring and never responds to messages. I guess the same thing was happening with Abraham. Her and Sarah are not in our big five personal alliance. But I get the feeling Deshawn and maybe Shan are working with her.

  

• Shan: This girl so far seems unpredictable. I'm still tepid on her though. We talked about cats and dogs and pretty much stopped there. Clearly if Evie and Abraham want her to be in the five then she must be somewhat trustworthy. But I didn't like how she tried to throw me under the bus as the last Not it for leader. She was way too gleeful in pointing out that I was last.  It's like bitch can you count? There are two people missing, one hasn't even seen the schoolyard pick and the other hasn't even shown up. Fun Fact: She has 7 cats and 4 dogs. Does she just have a room devoted to litter boxes?? 

Threat levels

1)Sara: Sketchy

2) Deshawn: Not sure where his heads at

3) Shan: fear of unknown/crazy cat lady 

4)Abraham: Him and Evvie are my allies

5) Evvie: Shes the Sam to my Frodo

6) Heather:  I dont know her 


3) I feel proud of myself for my first night. I said in my pregame confessional that I was gonna try and connect with either Abraham or Deshawn and that Evvie piqued my interest. I feel that I successfully achieved both of those goals.  This weekend I want to try and connect more with Deshawn and Sara. Sara is a threat, but she's not in my alliance so I wanna see what her connections are. Outside of the game, its Pride month bitches, I am DJing a drag show Sunday so I have to get some of that new Kylie and  Kim Petras going. 

 

 

Oooh someone made an alliance chat room they called it "dew it". 

Abraham wants to make one for Evvie him and I. We are getting Evvies opinion before we got forward. 

The plan is to call it luker_test. Is that okay with the hosts? 

You can name a chatroom "[Castaway] eats cunt maggots" if you wanted to, name it anything you desire

Wow I went from feeling kinda shaky to suddenly feeling a lot better. Alot happened in 12 hours. Someone made a group chat called “dew it”, which was exactly what Abraham Evvie and I were waiting for. We made a plan for Abraham and I to meet up late last night in order to make the two chat rooms when no one was on.



So we both log in and of course, of all fucking people,  Sara is there. She immediately messages us and totally blew our chats up. So Abraham and I get all sketched out and don't want to set up the chats with her around.  So Sara is talking to Abraham and I. She starts going off about the game with me. She was telling me about how we can watch and wait for people to log into the “dew it” room to see who they are. She was also talking about how we can leverage that information at the merge.  Meanwhile I'm literally messaging Abraham everything she saying. He was just as floored as I was at the aggressive gameplay. So i told him i was gonna roll with it and get my mean girl game on to see where she was  going.




 Then she randomly tells me that apparently Her, Deshawn and I are her final three and Abraham is the final four. II told her that Abraham and I were not too terribly close. But that id work on getting Abraham onto our side. 

 She then said she trusts me, unless....

I'm lying to her and playing her like a fiddle.




 I mean… I am…



 Sara is totally a veteran. She is incredibly sharp, gnarly and all around freaks me the fuck out. Homegirl tried her damnedest to throw me off the scent but she talks game way too hard. And somehow seems to know exactly what she is doing  I decided to share all this info with Abraham and we decided to tell Evie. I feel comfortable knowing that Sara is divulging all of her secrets to me because it really does show me that she is a snake-y bitch. The plan is to maintain my connection with her and keep her involved for two or three votes then get rid of her.



So the following morning I fill in Evvie on what happened last night with Sara. Evvie was just as floored as we were.  Afterwards Abraham and I regrouped and had a good chat. Abraham had told Evvie what I said about Sara possibly being a Veteran player and about Deshawn feeling good on working with me. He told me to start working on connecting with Deshawn and I finally got Big D to break the ice and talk game with me. We talked about creating a forum post to figure out who's good at what in challenges. I get the feeling everyone is pretending they are bad at photo puzzles. I found it really easy...   



Ultimately, Evvie and I are sticking to our duo and she expressed some concern about Abraham wanting to make big moves and that he'd eventually be a liability. So Evvie and I got two chat servers up Lurker and Lurker_test. Hopefully the server names are actually inconspicuous. Or maybe we think we are way smoother than we actually are. 


 

I can't help but rag on Sara with Abraham. She is aggressively convinced we are a F3 and I can't help but laugh at it. Abraham is a meme king and made this to illustrate my crazy making conversations with Sara. 




 

Your confessionals are so VISUAL I love them! Wishing you luck in the game Xander!

1.       How did the challenge planning talks go down tonight, any surprises there?
Challenge planning went really actually. Our whole tribe is super communicative. I purposefully chose the first leg cause multiple people had expressed that the image puzzles are hard for them. Which doesn't make any sense to me because its literally just having two windows open and dragging and dropping. If that's rocket science then call Nasa cause Abe Evvie and I are geniuses. I am really happy it ended up being us three on the first leg, that made sure us three reaped to consequences of our performance. 

2.       How do you feel about your own challenge performance?
I felt super good about my challenge performance. Evvie and I had 9 pieces and i beat her by a few posts! Shan freaking dominated while Sara floundered. Sara kept sending me messages after the challenge telling me that she still hadn't figured it out and that this was really hard. I told her "aww im sure there will be more challenges youll be good at". She has no idea that im like the captain of team Fuck Sara. 

3.       As you’ve been getting to know your fellow tribe members, are any working relationships forming?
Abe Evvie and I have made a Stoner Alliance. Or maybe we're called "Best Buds". Deshawn is kind of affiliated. Sara thinks we are BFF's and i fucking love it cause i cannot stand her!
