If this is your first time on Stranded - don't worry, we will be posting confessional threads for you each round, as well as a series of prompting questions! These questions will get more and more customized as the game progresses. Feel free to answer these, or not - they're just meant to get the brain juices flowing.

Congratulations on surviving the first night! And no tribal until Sunday...but there is still work to be done.

1. First Impressions - we all have 'em. Who has stood out to you in a good way and in a bad way from the first night of socializing?

2. Opening Twist - were there any intros from the other tribes' dossier that stood out to you? And do you have any plans for your newly-minted tribe member?

3. StrandedCoin - this will be the second season of Stranded to feature StrandedCoin! Have you been thinking about how you might use it to your advantage? Has it been discussed amongst your tribemates?

1. First Impressions - we all have 'em. Who has stood out to you in a good way and in a bad way from the first night of socializing?

When we hit the beach, I would say I really enjoyed my conversations most with Michael and Matt. I also liked talking to Sherri, Laura, Alexis and Hope, but I didn't talk as much as the other two. Brandon and Shamar looked boring. Erik looked weird. Reynold look like a dead body. And Eddie was just a bit fun too, but our conversation was cut short when Elizabeth swapped places with him. Speaking of her, I actually enjoyed my first conversation with her. I would actually consider her one of my favorites along with Matt and Michael. She's not scared to speak of the game, she shared some information about the other tribe, and the more I have someone feeding my mouth, the more I want them around me. Also, she's got immunity, and that's working like an idol, so not knowing how this first vote is gonna go, isn't she the first person you wanna get in touch with ? Of course !

2. Opening Twist - were there any intros from the other tribes' dossier that stood out to you? And do you have any plans for your newly-minted tribe member?

I see in Elizabeth someone valuable. You can tell she had a certain position in her tribe, because she looked confident in saying that Missy was a target over there, that their tribe was speaking game already, and all of that. So you know she's in the zone, she's got certain links over there. On one hand, it might be dangerous, but in the other, it could be very handy. I tried to get a little bit of information on the dossiers and the other tribe, I think Elizabeth is either Castaway #2 or #3. And apparently Eddie was picked because his dossier was poorly written. That was my worry : did he get picked because he had a compelling dossier ? Or because it sucked ? Eddie was writing poorly to me as well, so I recognize him. But that doesn't mean I don't like him, ok ? Maybe that's not his language, or he was drunk, I don't know, but he was typing his sentences in a weird way when we talked. I was just so jealous. Eddie so good-looking, and now, even picked by the other tribe, so charming even without the looks! Then when you look back, ok, it wasn't because of the charm. I feel ok now. It calms down my jealousy, right?

3. StrandedCoin - this will be the second season of Stranded to feature StrandedCoin! Have you been thinking about how you might use it to your advantage? Has it been discussed amongst your tribemates?

For now, I will try to win some coins and stack them. I'm not spending them unless I know I need something. I don't want to hand it over to somebody either... unless it becomes very necessary.

Strategy

Going to tribal, I don't feel too confident, because everyone are on an even playing field, nobody has competed and shown their strengths yet, and we haven't talked much about the vote. We only did the regular socializing. But at least we got a few days ahead of us to think of our vote.

One thing that's for sure, is I made sure to socialize with Elizabeth. She's got the nuclear button. If she feels okay with me, then she's not going to use that idol to cross me over and send me home. That's one thing checked. The other thing to check is which one is going home? As long as it ain't me, I don't give a shit. If it were just my decision, that would be Reynold. So I made sure to pop in and say 'Reynold didn't show up so far', I don't know what to say more. I don't even have to say I would vote for him, people will probably go for him if he remains like this. I just had to remind the tribe mates so that they don't skip him on the memory wall and target somebody else. No, look, there's someone, and he's not so active, here is an easy vote out. Once someone is targeted on the first round, it's hard to break that target, because everyone's scared. So you need to make sure the black clouds are flying over someone else's head. And it got to be Reynold in my mind.

I just found this on Probst profile. Did I find coins ?

Or is this just a clue or something. I'm all excited, I'm finding things now.

Tribal Council

So weird. No one seems to be talking game at all. I'm actually worried. We have a tribal tomorrow... I feel forced to bring up the vote subject, and so far Elizabeth seems on the same page with the idea of voting out Reynold, which is good, I feel like she's on the same page about it. When it comes to Laura, I feel like she's up in the air, she says she doesn't feel ok bringing up the vote to other people, which I understand because I didn't until now. But we need to start having at least an idea of what we're gonna base our vote on.

Everytime we pronunce Reynold's name, surprise, he shows up ! He's like a devil we summon. This is annoying. Please stop signing in and stop talking to people HAHAHA.

Oh and did you see all these chatrooms popping up? 'Open Game' 'Fans-R-Us' 'Little Birdies' 'No Men allowed' '10 inches and + only', damnn. However, I think some of them are fake ones, like Little Birdies. I created it this morning cause I was pissed not to be invited in Fans-R-Us and Open Game. If they are going to make me anxious, let's make them anxious too. But thinking about it, Fans-R-Us COULD be a fake made by the other tribe. Very few members of our tribe were online when it was made, and why would our tribe mates be stupid to call it something that could relate to our tribe lol? And it was created at same time as 'Open Game'. Soo... And the last two were probably a pissed joke by Sherri or something. But that doesn't mean there are no alliances created, just we need to breath and not feel like our game is thrown into the garbage only because we were not in one of those.

So before things get ugly, I made sure to tell Elizabeth I trusted her most here, which is true. She's the easiest person to talk to when it comes to game, so I wouldn't want her to go anytime soon. I feel like if I have any ideas, anything to say about the game, she'll be the first one I tell about it. She said she felt close to Matt too, which is funny, because me too. But actually, I think everyone get along with him. Soo if I want to survive this vote, I think that Matt might be the person I need to be sure of his vote first. I think he can easily get people to vote his way.

Tribal Council

So far, Alexis seems to be on a same page when it comes to the connections she made on the tribe.

ME : Do you think we have someone, like, kind of disposable so far ?

ALEXIS : so...maybe? like I feel like whoever someone finds disposable is going to depend on who you talk to. Like I will be up front and say I have spoken to Reynold, Laura, and Erik the least. And Brandon. But that isn't to say I find any one of them disposable necessarily

ALEXIS : what are you thinking?

ME : Same, except you can switch laura with Shamar for me, but I won't hold it against him, we're both guilty of having too many people to talk to, but according to others, shamar is active.

ALEXIS : Yeah he has been fairly

ALEXIS : like where is Erik? I really liked him night 1

ALEXIS : it's hard because everyone on our tribe I genuinely have enjoyed so far

ME : He was around night 1, yeah, maybe he took this weekend break seriously lol. To me, this would be either Erik Brandon or Reynold
I would feel sad losing somebody else that seems committed you know ?

ALEXIS : Yeah I feel you
and I think we're on the same page

ALEXIS : I also appreciate you being bold enough to tell me what you're tihnking, because I know in the beginning it's nerve-wracking

ME : I know ! Gotta start somewhere If we always walk on egg shells this is gonna be complicated hahaha. But that's nervewracking in the beginning I just felt like we were going to be on same page, makes it easier.

ALEXIS : totally

^ Oh I know lurkers already have access to these, but I felt like hightlighting this because I barely had any game conversation this round ROFL.

Tribal Council

Ok so I took a nap all afternoon, and when I woke up, the vote had changed for Erik or Hope. The way it spinned around makes me not really trust my tribe, because everything was planned in secret. No one came to update me other than Laura, unless I asked questions but ok... I'm guessing I'll go with whatever, it's not like Erik/Hope sat anywhere good on my hitlist anyways. I would prefer Erik to go over Hope though, because I like Hope more, but *shrugs* this is day one, not going to fall on the sword over a small preference like this. I'm pretty sure there was an alliance born somewhere on this tribe, because you can't have a vote spin fast like this without an alliance running it. Gonna keep an eye on that. I can see Brandon being part of it, because he seemed more confident to spread the word than others, but that's just an assumption.

[Allie]

Oh.my.god.

You don't want to miss this in the group chat :

ALEXIS : fuuuuuck Erik just asked me about the vote

ERIK : ha

ALEXIS : oh hi

ALEXIS : this was the wrong pop up window

ALEXIS :

ALEXIS : I'm gonna go light myself on fire

ALEXIS : see you all in hell

REYNOLD : LOL

ERIK : I think I'm immolating with you now for what it's worth

ELIZABETH : *gif eating popcorn*

MICHAEL : well...what'd he say? lol

LAURA : LOLLLL

ALLIE : I'm dying

ALEXIS : well guys

ALEXIS : I'm the first one to fuck this up

ALEXIS : so you all don't have to worry about doing it

REYNOLD : I love this tribe

LAURA : We're pretty iconic, I have to give it to us!

ELIZABETH : I’ve definitely been there! Lol

I almost pee'd my pants. It was hilarious. If I were Alexis, I would probably want to hide myself under a carpet. I wish she spilled the beans about her alliances instead, but well, this is still good to watch. HAHAHHA.
