This is your confessional! Please post here within the first 24 hours of the game, otherwise we will replace you. The confessional is for you to vent your feelings and thoughts about the game, as well as the place you submit your votes and other actions. You might see the following people in your confessional
Mods: Myself, Cynthia and Steven. Ask us if you have any questions.
Spectators: These guys are supposed to be unbiased and ask you what is going on in the game. They have access to all the confessionals, and are probably getting up to cool stuff in their area.
Have a great game!
-Cynthia, Steven and I.

I'm here. I'll post a proper confessional once I have gotten my bearings.

If you could snort the soul of any other player and absorb their powers, which player would you target?

That's...a bizarre question. I don't really know enough about Pokemon lore to answer that super well, but maybe the soul of that arrogant prick who thinks he's better than everyone; just for irony's sake?

Does Deoxys have their bearings yet? I'm curious to see if you had to make a list of who you trust most to least who would fall where currently?

hi! i'm not really sure what type of pokemon you are, mind clarifying it? I'm a Psychic Pokemon I believe? Deoxys has three forms - I forget how you toggle them in-game but on Shoddy Battle you just chose the one you wanted. One offensive, one defensive, and one speed-based.

My plan is to intentionally not try and force any game talk early on. I think on a Faves tribe people are more likely to be playing hard early and wanting to make big moves, so I am looking to stay off people's radars and as much as possible be seen as someone who can safely be picked up as a number/number-two.

Well, I can certainly see how that confused someone in Phase 2. Those are way harder to tell apart than any of the Tangelas!

Sounds like so far I'm the consensus first boot. Going to do my damnedest to change people's minds without trying too hard to make a move - I think the play that gives me the most longterm winning equity is to make it look like I really want to stay but am not someone who will screw others over in order to do so, and hope that there's just enough of a push towards someone else that people want to keep me around to help their game. I don't think I can play well as someone who is out in front so I don't think it's worth trying to make a BIG MOVE since I don't see how that ever leads to me doing well even if I stay.

Well, that was a short-lived effort to try something new. Decided that if I'm already being viewed as a boot option may as well double-down on what I know how to do best and tell a few people that I feel out of my league in such a veteran tribe given that I've always gone out early in these games and so don't really know what I'm doing wrong or what. Who knows? Maybe one of these people will either feel bad for me or think I'm a good person to take in as a number for their use in this game. We will see how it goes.
I promise I hadn't planned on playing the Newb card yet again, but at this point I'm pretty sure that if the vote were right now I'd be going home, so I have to play what I know.

What players do you think would be most important to get on your side here?

Most important? No idea. I'm clearly out of the loop on a lot of this, so I don't yet have a sense of who holds the most sway and would be the most important to get on my side. Most likely and/or most helpful if they do turn out to be important? Probably some combination of Hoopa/Celebi/Meltan. They're the people I feel like are most likely to want to work with me and have power I think.
What makes me think it's me? The fact that Solgaleo told me I was the most likely boot at this point, and then when I mentioned that to others every single other person in the tribe has been like "Yeah, that's what I've heard so far. Still lots of time though."

It sounds like I may have made some headway tonight as multiple people are indicating things seem to be moving in a positive direction for me. I'll do what I can to continue to show activity, be nice and likable, and subtly show people that I can provide value to them during the day tomorrow and see how things turn out.

I'm definitely getting feedback this morning that my efforts last night seem to have worked and moved the needle off of me towards Jirachi; and now it sounds like Meltan is putting together a competing wagon on Solageo to try and save both Jirachi and myself. Let's see where this goes. I don't feel like I'm totally out of the water yet - and won't until the vote - but it seems like I might be in a better position than I was last night and that my decision not to try and overplay my way out of it might have worked out at least for now.

Momentum seemed to stop on the Sol wagon midway through the day, seemingly due to Hoopa and Celebi steering the ship towards Jirachi and no one other than Meltan caring enough to push against that. Will need to keep on eye on the level of control those two have, but both seem to have been happy to save me - based on what multiple people have told me - so for now whether they are acting in tandem or individually they appear to think I'm someone worth keeping around and potentially that they can use. I'm happy to play as the Laurel/Monica for now - I certainly think I learned from my last MS Survivor experience on how to turn that into the win that I somehow came so close to.

The sarcasm with those Gastly pics made me chuckle quite a bit.
Question for ya, do you feel like your position in the tribe advanced or was hindered by Jirachi being voted out?

By Jirachi going out specifically? Probably hindered, since I do think Jirachi was genuinely interested in working with me. By the tribal as a whole / how it happened? Definitely advanced; I was almost certainly the early boot choice in that tribal and through how it unfolded managed to not only stay but I think get at least a couple people who want to work with me / keep me around as one of their numbers.

2. People who lost at codenames, do you feel bad? People who won at codenames, do you hate the people who lost? - I don't. I thought our board was somewhat easier for Game 1 so I know the Game 2 people were at a disadvantage going in
To clarify just a little...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? A blind French monkey could have won with the board we had in Game 2. The only reason we won the first time is because Mewtwo thinks lemonjuice goes on fucking pancakes! Holy shit.

I didn't see any pre-game press, so here's the photo of the Mystic Tribe:

Well - may as well fill in the folks at home on this. Coba just told me he found an idol clue during the last challenge, but that he has to publicly ask the Mods for the idol in our tribe forum and leave the post up for an hour. Figured I'd try and make a thread that would help tribe morale and also potentially give him cover if he wants to use it as a gesture of goodwill towards him. Hopefully this was a risk-free way to gain favour with him, though it certainly could blow up on me. After having almost gone out last vote though (potentially, anyways) I feel like I can take on some risk in order to get people to view me as a loyal number though, and this seems like a way to try to help that without in any way increasing my target level or making a move.

But who each each member of the ulong? Sorry - that's too convoluted of a task for me to do right now, especially with limited knowledge of most of Ulong off the top of my head beyond "lol that person sucks too".
