This is the first installment of DDDD. My blog is cumming to you in 4D baby. I'm all about writing essays of endless rambling that make no sense, so why not do it here? Everyday I'll be dickin' around writing shit, and it'll be deep. It has the word "Daily" in it, and I intend to keep it that way. I know I did not start Day 1, but once this gets published, it'll start to be daily absolutely. I might write more than one entry a day if suitable, but! There is only so much ink that the press can handle! Still, I wrote a ton of shit and I have a reputation to uphold as one of Stranded's top writers!
(There may or may not be bias as the game goes on for me for to like players who write confessionals as I once did... hehe)
But seriously. This is my first time lurking anything from the beginning, and I'm super excited that it is the next season of my first ORG. DDDD promises to take a look at people as is and roast the shit out of them or be the one person praising someone that everyone hates. This will also be my meme dump thread if I see anything. Also will rate them on their level of sexiness. If you're looking for a blog that focuses mainly more for (or only) strategy, and a blog that is non-biased, this one prob ain't it, but I applaud you for sticking around anyway.
So, let's start with this...
Going from only knowing their apps, to seeing some already take leaps, and alliances beginning to blossom slowly, this cast seems promising for both strategy and for trainwrecks. Since I know the vets better, let us start with my thoughts on them.
Elizabeth is my girl! An obvious bias here but she's fucking great. Lovable and for good reason. She got swapped to the other tribe, which is good for me, since I feel she might be more safe there. She is doing great with the newbies since she can make anyone like her. Not to mention, she has the public immunity idol, so that puts more attention on her. Whether that is good or bad, we will see. Super excited to see my bitch play again, she'll win this!! She currently is in an amazing position with the newbies, and unless something happens drastic, like another swap but it is bad for her, I think she actually has a great chance at making it to the merge like she deserves. She is on top of Buckaroo or whatever that tribe is called. And most important, her meme thread lives on!! The best part. I thought I was doing good shit with my memes on Tanzania, but Liz can make them good and fast. I'm here for it, and I'm super excited to see what she can do!
Miss me with that messy shit. Anyone in a game can get a second chance, but could a cheater really get redemption? And the fact that she called it a "removal scandal" in her app, like fuck off, your podcast was called the cheatercast, you aren't fooling anybody. Hope Liz builds her newbie army to come fuck you up. Also, she wants Garrett gone so now I want her gone even more. #fuckmissy
Stephanie is a sight and makes my eyes sore. She seems to be doing alright for the time being much to my dismay. Also she does video confessionals on fucking vimeo, so no thanks I'm doing fine. I'm not seeing and/or hearing anything. I don't care to follow a losing game anyway.
Two N'd Stephannie (I'll just say UB, which as a Pokemon fan makes me think she's an Ultra Beast but anyway) seems to be doing pretty good as well. Don't know too much about her but I know more about her than I do Wardog or Tai, so I'm still excited for her. She calls the other Steph "Stephanie Dull" so I'm already in love with UB. Not to mention, she writes great confessionals so far and speaks her thoughts so I'm invested. She currently is deciding how to get Dull/Hannah as targets, and if she manages to pull that off, I stan. She also likes Garrett.
Wardog is one of two people I have no clue about pre-season so I can only judge him for the most part off of what else is going on. Alredy am getting a potential justice boner imagining him going pre-merge based on the content in his confessionals. He got a hate boner for Garrett so that's all that matters to me about him. Claims he can be crazy but I've yet to see it. He seems like such a tryhard villain in his confessionals which is annoying. At least, however, he is writing confessionals quite a bit. However, he seems a touch close with Steph Dull which is a no no. Final nail in the coffin for me? Talked about sports. This scoundrel can go back under the bridge now.
Garrett is someone I'd want to root for since he showed great promise in Excursion, even though there was no social aspect for that game. Something like Excursion is perfect for Garrett since there is no fear of getting voted out by someone. Him trying to seek out the idol a lot are things I can respect. However, it isn't looking too hot for him right now, and I only hope that he makes it past the first round. Maybe he should stick to TAR ORGs only since being crazy won't affect him as long as he can be good with challenges. This man is overplaying way too hard, too fast. All these alliances and back-and-forthing, oof. Anyway, at least his confessionals are decent too. I'm gonna miss them when he goes though
Jessica is someone who could go either way. Trust me, she has been training in her eyes for this so hard. We're talking Rocky montage-style training in her mind ever since I blindsided her with the idol home during Tanzania. She's been dreaming of redemption. Thankfully, she so far has proved the host podcast wrong and is not going to be a first boot. If she keeps her cool, she might make it farther than her original placement. And if she wins this thing, the Stranded community will be shaken up that a Discord ORGer won lmfao so that'll be some fun salty shit. Her confessionals are just aight. Could be more. She did call me Brandon though so God Bless
Tai plays fucking Pokemon on his Twitch, I've no choice but to stan. He is one of two vets I have no clue about going into this season as a lurker. I thought he would be relatively quiet. He definitely is the least connected person here, which may or may not be an advantage. He at least is separate from any and all drama. His confessionals need a lot more work though, they are nowhere near sufficient enough. He recently was caught lying without purpose so that's a huge wrench already in his game.
John Rocker is always a very interesting character to talk about. Sometimes he's just weird, sometimes he's lovable. Because of other faves and hates I have on the cast, he's actually found himself in the middle for me, even though on the outside I enjoy him. In the game however, he is slowly aligning himself with those I'm not a fan of and targeting those I am rooting for, so that is something to look out for. I have a feeling I might have a mixed game opinion of JR. Not to mention, people are taking note that he isn't online as much, and when you're this early in the game, you never want to be noticed as someone who is less active than others. He is a LEGENDARY writer, so I am saddened that he isn't writing more frequently in his confessionals.
Jed is Canadian and I swear to fuck I always forget that about him. Mainly because I forget about Jed. He posts sometimes in the main Stranded Discord and he has that other cat-wearing-a-hat PFP besides Poody. Other than that, no idea really who this bitch is. On the podcast most thought that he'd make it far and is the least crazy out of the bunch. The latter is definitely true, although in the last little while, he may not be in the clearing immediately for merge just yet. I am unsure of what to think of him, there doesn't seem like too much personality. Which, of course, is what I'm here for. Whether I hate you or love you, when it comes to ORGs I love personalities. He needs to get one. However, he did shit-talk Missy in his confessional so that's a bonus from me. His confessionals are adequate.
Aurora seems in a relatively healthy spot which I like for my bro from Excursion! Even if she played the less sexy bro, haha. I hope she doesn't bond with Steph too much about lesbianismry since that'd be a darn shame. She wrote in her confessional she doesn't trust her, so that's nice. Speaking of confessionals, they'd be swell if she did them just a little bit more. Also, they could chill with the different colours. But I definitely like how being a Broski has passed onto her confessionals. You see Danni, your game had a legacy, don't be too ashamed of it!
Hannah is psycho. The way she goes on about how looking at post count is weird, and things like Garrett looking at people using the PMs in the "Who's Online" stuff... yeah she definitely hated me for that and more obvious things in Tanzania. You know, as someone new to Stranded and ORGs, it really is interesting seeing a host play so differently from how their normal personality is, since it doesn't seem like this. I'm sure Hannah the person is fine, but Hannah the player? Gag. Pass.
(Also disclaimer, I'm writing this in the wee hours of the morning so nothing I say makes sense anyway I reckon. There is no order btw except when I remembered them.) So, the veterans are crazy. I just hate that M*ssy is here since it really does seem like she was brought back just to make Liz tick and give us a crazy fight before the first boot, and they're not even on the same tribe anymore, so she shouldn't be here IMO. And of course smarter vets will keep her around since she is a target and also isolated. Still, that might give us Tanzanians some sweet sense of euphoria when Liz gets her newbie army to finally kill off Missy, but will it be worth the wait? Seeing Liz say "oh you cunt scab" is already something I'm getting tattooed to my ass since I love Liz' creative vulgarity, but I know Liz will also be pissed off if she personally does not get the ability to kill off Missy. Godspeed I say. Speaking of God, let's talk about the newbies now. Of course, we have to talk about the most unique personality on the newbie side:
Brandon is... Brandon. Wow, this was casting gold. And unless he was planning this schtick for over a year now, he is the real deal. A huge fan favourite of the lurkers so far, we are all rooting that he makes it past first boot so we get just a little bit more of his antics. God bless. For him, it appears that being an initial target has faded away, and now he might slip by for another round, as his tribe is looking to possibly target Reynold or Laura. Brandon not being the first boot might be one of the biggest shocks of the season so far! Additionally, he has amazing confessionals worthy of being entertaining, so I definitely look forward to more Brandon! However in his application he wrote "I'd have watched more but I prefer my anime dubbed instead of subbed." which first of all, gross. Secondly, I think he was talking about a South Korean show for this
Eddie has a lot of spelling mistakes, and also says bro a lot. I don't feel he's particularly too bad, but he has definitely earned the spot of being a target of the vet tribe, which would be a shame especially if he went home with a public idol. He definitely isn't hitting much sweetspots with the rest of the vets on his new tribe, and hopefully, he doesn't become a first boot person with an idol in his pocket
I would be sad for him then. I'm just not sure on who else would fit his place as a target besides someone like Garrett. Even if Eddie isn't the first boot, I'm not sure what he can do in the meantime to save himself. Also, his confessionals are a bit poop. However, he is ESL and in a very opposite time zone from everyone else, so hopefully that won't disadvantage him too much. He seems like a good kid. Lol, me saying kid, yet Eddie is among the oldest players Stranded has.
Sherri is someone who writes lengthy confessionals!!! And she is good with Elizabeth!! This girl is definitely one of my newbie hopefuls. She seems like a really great thinker, and I see a bit of myself in her with both her app and how she carries herself. Well, at least Week 1 Dean. I hope she has a wonderful Stranded experience. Plus she's an Aussie-born Canuck now! I can drink to that. For some reason I don't have a lot to write about Sherri, other than the fact that I like her a lot.
Reynold has inactive days and active days. I hope the latter becomes more common. Especially since he wasn't planned to be one of the main targets for the first boot, but now he is, mostly due to his inactivity. It's a shame, since me and Aaron have decided he was an honourary douchebro. I wonder how well Reynold would have done on Tanzania. Also, inactivity comes with minimal confessionals which I am not too big on. I hope he isn't the first boot, because anyone who lists Dick Donato as one of their Top 3 "who are you like" people is someone I will ALWAYS be invested in. #SaveTheTuamotusDouchebro
Erik likes fucking Charizard as the best starter Pokemon. Erik is a basic ass casual with no taste at all. Fuckers like him are why Game Freak shoves Charizard down our throats harder than Doms at Steamworks. Also he sucks at making confessionals so I'm not too big on Erik myself. Keeping an Excel sheet of all your lies however is pretty impressive I'll admit, so I will still keep an eye on him. At least he isn't in Elizabeth's alliance so he might be out early. Who knows though, maybe he'll impress me or not.
Hope gives me no hope. This bitch fights in TikTok comments? Already a lost cause, we can move onto the next. But, I'll keep talking, since apparently she has a fan club. I think Hope is gonna be the main newbie that I hate who the mainstream lurkers love. She gives me massive SJW vibes which is gross as fuck. She used the word "narc" in her application; I would have loved to see her play with Tanzania Dan. As Erik stated, posting a picture of her cat definitely gives her social currency. Walking her cat is quite interesting. Nothing about strategy; just pretty interesting and I can appreciate that. One thing I will give Hope is that she writes a lot on her mind in confessionals, and I can appreciate that.
Michael is probably the #1 fan favourite to win this game, and I don't blame anyone for thinking this way. I think he will do incredibly well, and he shows massive amounts of promise. Not to mention, his confessionals too, and the way he just writes whatever he is thinking in them!? I love Michael so much. Additionally, he is with Elizabeth and Alexis, which I think is an incredible trio. He is discovering so much on the forum as well as with people, how can you not love him? He is banking on Alexis as his #1 I think. Once this boy betrays Liz I'll have to cut him up but it isn't anytime soon, so we're cool. Lastly, he said fuck off to StrandedCoin, so I'd like to say, that on all levels except physical I am a Michael stan.
And the fact that Michael did things like research on the vets he is playing with, and he listened to all the Stranded podcasts? This man is literally me.
Laura... you know, after reading her confessionals, she seems like such a sweet person, I really hope she doesn't take it too hard if she is the first boot. However, just from other people on her tribe, they are either bigger characters than she is and/or bigger strategists than she is. If she was on a normal season I may root for her, but when the amount of newbies are in a smaller pool, I have no choice but to say it: I hope she goes home first boot for the newbie tribe.
Shamar is within that 6 person alliance on the newbie tribe, but for some reason, I haven't really read much into him or about him. Let's see what he's capable of. I really got hardly anything to say. He's an athletic rugby coach so that makes me grossed out (even though Rugby players are fucking hot) but then he says he got a history degree so maybe we can nerd out about history once he makes it on the outside. His confessionals are decent.
Matt has good confessionals and writing and thinking; I wish he just wrote more of it. In his first confessional, he answered that he was "flirty" so I got my showmance goggles on him, although really, nothing could beat me and Alison. We got a damm Strandie for it. I think Matt is definitely going to make merge and make it far in merge. Especially since he is a part of the Liz 6.
Allie is really focused on Reynold getting out, so she definitely will be one of the vote going to him and not Laura. Allie has AMAZING confessionals, full of length and text
Plus she's French Canadian too! C'est la vie~ Anyway, she seems to have a good enough grip and handle on things. She seems close to Elizabeth, which is interesting since Allie is not considered a part of the 6, so things could get interesting for Allie if Laura is indeed the vote. And by interesting, I mean likely bad. I really hope Allie isn't a pre-juror. Although if she comes to the lurker server we could try the french avec each other.
Alexis is definitely amazing. It's hard to go against the grain for a favourite, but really, her and Michael are just incredible in terms of entertainment and strategy and level of activity; what more could you ask for? However... if she makes merge (and I suspect she will have no problem making merge) she will fucking HATE some of these vets. Like, y'all, imagine if she was swapped to the other tribe instead of Eddie!? She would go mental dealing with those personalities. Also, I can tell she's an NDIM player by... how she carries herself. Not in the game, but on a personal level. She also has decent confessionals, AND some actual good video confessionals that aren't hosted on Vimeo! Her and Michael are a power duo. However, does everyone want an easy steamroll? That's what will be exciting to find out as we watch their journey on Stranded.
So, this is finally done being written. I apologize to the last several entries/newbies, I kind of just lost motivation to really write more. It is currently 7:20 AM and I did not wake up to write this: I am still going on last night, and the sun is barely rising. I wanted to write this while nobody was online though, since some bitches change things on the spot and I don't want to re-edit anything at the moment as I write it. I assure you other chapters and days will be much more smoother and done. Good day to those who wake up on the last day of January!
Maybe tomorrow I'll focus on making memes of these people. Maybe give every person at least one meme to their name before Tribal Council. Should be easy enough! Good luck and cheers to a great season hopefully!
(if you read this entire thing wanting good analysis about strategies still: I don't know who you are, and I love you, but you need help.)

ROLL OUT THE CARPET BECAUSE MR. KOWALSKI IS GONNA PUT HIS CONFESSIONAL WRITING ENERGY INTO AN OPINIONATED CRITIQUE BLOG.
This is the first installment of DDDD. My blog is cumming to you in 4D baby. I'm all about writing essays of endless rambling that make no sense, so why not do it here?

So, let's start with this...
Jan 31st: Analysis from pre-game and the first days~
Going from only knowing their apps, to seeing some already take leaps, and alliances beginning to blossom slowly, this cast seems promising for both strategy and for trainwrecks. Since I know the vets better, let us start with my thoughts on them.

Not to mention, she writes great confessionals so far and speaks her thoughts so I'm invested. She currently is deciding how to get Dull/Hannah as targets, and if she manages to pull that off, I stan. She also likes Garrett.
Wardog is one of two people I have no clue about pre-season so I can only judge him for the most part off of what else is going on. Alredy am getting a potential justice boner imagining him going pre-merge based on the content in his confessionals. He got a hate boner for Garrett so that's all that matters to me about him.

He definitely isn't hitting much sweetspots with the rest of the vets on his new tribe, and hopefully, he doesn't become a first boot person with an idol in his pocket

Sherri is someone who writes lengthy confessionals!!! And she is good with Elizabeth!! This girl is definitely one of my newbie hopefuls. She seems like a really great thinker, and I see a bit of myself in her with both her app and how she carries herself. Well, at least Week 1 Dean. I hope she has a wonderful Stranded experience. Plus she's an Aussie-born Canuck now! I can drink to that. For some reason I don't have a lot to write about Sherri, other than the fact that I like her a lot.
Reynold has inactive days and active days. I hope the latter becomes more common. Especially since he wasn't planned to be one of the main targets for the first boot, but now he is, mostly due to his inactivity. It's a shame, since me and Aaron have decided he was an honourary douchebro. I wonder how well Reynold would have done on Tanzania.

I hope he isn't the first boot, because anyone who lists Dick Donato as one of their Top 3 "who are you like" people is someone I will ALWAYS be invested in. #SaveTheTuamotusDouchebro
Erik likes fucking Charizard as the best starter Pokemon. Erik is a basic ass casual with no taste at all. Fuckers like him are why Game Freak shoves Charizard down our throats harder than Doms at Steamworks. Also he sucks at making confessionals so I'm not too big on Erik myself. Keeping an Excel sheet of all your lies however is pretty impressive I'll admit, so I will still keep an eye on him. At least he isn't in Elizabeth's alliance so he might be out early. Who knows though, maybe he'll impress me or not.
Hope gives me no hope. This bitch fights in TikTok comments? Already a lost cause, we can move onto the next. But, I'll keep talking, since apparently she has a fan club. I think Hope is gonna be the main newbie that I hate who the mainstream lurkers love. She gives me massive SJW vibes which is gross as fuck. She used the word "narc" in her application; I would have loved to see her play with Tanzania Dan. As Erik stated, posting a picture of her cat definitely gives her social currency. Walking her cat is quite interesting. Nothing about strategy; just pretty interesting and I can appreciate that. One thing I will give Hope is that she writes a lot on her mind in confessionals, and I can appreciate that.
Michael is probably the #1 fan favourite to win this game, and I don't blame anyone for thinking this way. I think he will do incredibly well, and he shows massive amounts of promise. Not to mention, his confessionals too, and the way he just writes whatever he is thinking in them!? I love Michael so much. Additionally, he is with Elizabeth and Alexis, which I think is an incredible trio. He is discovering so much on the forum as well as with people, how can you not love him? He is banking on Alexis as his #1 I think. Once this boy betrays Liz I'll have to cut him up but it isn't anytime soon, so we're cool. Lastly, he said fuck off to StrandedCoin, so I'd like to say, that on all levels except physical I am a Michael stan.

Laura... you know, after reading her confessionals, she seems like such a sweet person, I really hope she doesn't take it too hard if she is the first boot. However, just from other people on her tribe, they are either bigger characters than she is and/or bigger strategists than she is. If she was on a normal season I may root for her, but when the amount of newbies are in a smaller pool, I have no choice but to say it: I hope she goes home first boot for the newbie tribe.
Shamar is within that 6 person alliance on the newbie tribe, but for some reason, I haven't really read much into him or about him. Let's see what he's capable of. I really got hardly anything to say. He's an athletic rugby coach so that makes me grossed out (even though Rugby players are fucking hot) but then he says he got a history degree so maybe we can nerd out about history once he makes it on the outside. His confessionals are decent.
Matt has good confessionals and writing and thinking; I wish he just wrote more of it. In his first confessional, he answered that he was "flirty" so I got my showmance goggles on him, although really, nothing could beat me and Alison. We got a damm Strandie for it. I think Matt is definitely going to make merge and make it far in merge. Especially since he is a part of the Liz 6.
Allie is really focused on Reynold getting out, so she definitely will be one of the vote going to him and not Laura. Allie has AMAZING confessionals, full of length and text

Alexis is definitely amazing. It's hard to go against the grain for a favourite, but really, her and Michael are just incredible in terms of entertainment and strategy and level of activity; what more could you ask for? However... if she makes merge (and I suspect she will have no problem making merge) she will fucking HATE some of these vets. Like, y'all, imagine if she was swapped to the other tribe instead of Eddie!? She would go mental dealing with those personalities. Also, I can tell she's an NDIM player by... how she carries herself. Not in the game, but on a personal level. She also has decent confessionals, AND some actual good video confessionals that aren't hosted on Vimeo! Her and Michael are a power duo. However, does everyone want an easy steamroll? That's what will be exciting to find out as we watch their journey on Stranded.

So, this is finally done being written. I apologize to the last several entries/newbies, I kind of just lost motivation to really write more. It is currently 7:20 AM and I did not wake up to write this: I am still going on last night, and the sun is barely rising. I wanted to write this while nobody was online though, since some bitches change things on the spot and I don't want to re-edit anything at the moment as I write it. I assure you other chapters and days will be much more smoother and done. Good day to those who wake up on the last day of January!
Maybe tomorrow I'll focus on making memes of these people. Maybe give every person at least one meme to their name before Tribal Council. Should be easy enough! Good luck and cheers to a great season hopefully!
(if you read this entire thing wanting good analysis about strategies still: I don't know who you are, and I love you, but you need help.)
