Hey j rocks you know what I want big dog.

Give me that merge team ranking when you get the chance yeah?

Good luck out there.

Appreciate the sentiments, here’s the good stuff

Ok TRIBE power rankings. Complete with expanded blurbs

1. Alexis. Ride or die. Would still cut her to win the game lol suck it loser. Probably beat her even if I don’t (bring it). Reread my dossier answers recently btw LOL
2. Aurora. I laugh about 0-3 voting together but the first 2 don’t matter. I love Aurora NOW and plan to keep up (almost 100p honestly ) strategically witH her. I hope we don’t have big problems when #1 wants to vote Aurora at like F9 or so. Also lol@ when I tried to vote out Aurora in <5 minutes in a 3-3-3. The Missy vote out is so goddamn funny in hindsight. The more distance I get from it the more hysterical it becomes. What the hell fully happened lmao. Did Missy try to do a 3-3-3 against herself, Alexis, Shamar to flush Liz’s idol in the process? LMAO. Did Missy know I was voting her? I didn’t want to vote her. I wanted to vote fucking Michael. And then Aurora. Complete incorrect emotional garbage. Thanks Jess. I should have honestly never even thought about a merge plan until the merge actually happened. She put that shit in my head. Fucker. Also the funniest part is 2 votes Alexis 2 votes Shamar Hopes vote MIA but should have been Shamar? That’s what I’m thinking is the correct answer but I need that explained to me in detail later. Please somebody, take note and @me later. But that means Missys plan almost worked if I only I voted Alexis. LOL that can’t be right. Occams Razor says they’re all just fucking stupid and Aurora has the green idol (MAYBE Hope/Michael/Tai has it. I think Aurora)
3. Shamar. Is this Aaron’s little bro lol @that weird subplot. I think he is only ever going to just vote with me and Alexis, what is Stranded history on players like this????
4. Liz. Siked to be with Liz finally. She seems to match me in a manic way that isn’t really Alexis’ vibe. I’d be happy to vote out her rivals, Sherri, Matt, Reynold etc. she’s going to get screwed eventually though, she takes too much pride in fucking getting into it. I’m a huge fan but congrats on 6th place
5. Michael. I underestimated Michael every step of the way and I’m a fucking idiot for that. Great guy. He would cut me to win the game, which just makes me like him more. For the foreseeable future, we are together lock step.
6. Jess. Alright Jess is back on the team. You guys got me as rattled as you’ll ever get me over that. What a psycho. Honestly plan A. of never vote Jessica ever as a winning game strategy is back on the table. Sorry I prevoted you yesterday. Game stuff I guess
7. Hope. Hi Hope, do I have you Hope? Is Hope with me or is Hope wicked good at Stranded???? Ughh you guys threw me curveballs with all these great people I can’t tell if Hope is a fucking savage or not.
8. Stephannie. This merge is being described in terms of team Stephannie/Tai vs Team Liz/Alexis and friends (I guess it’s only being described that way by me, John Rocker. But Alexis, Aurora and Liz have kinda corroborated this thought. But I have a working thing with Stephannie. We’ve never targeted each other even though we’ve NEVER been in an alliance. You can fact check that. We’ve never been anymore than “hey I think you’re safe, I’m pretty sure I’m safe, let’s look out for each other here”. I understand how that can be my game storyline though, lol@ how off it is. Great read dweebs anyone who thought that. Are people sus of Alexis/Rocker? That was pretty immediate but took cultivation to bloom. I know I called it in my impression, but I think we’ve both been savvy enough to hide it. Eek. I hope so. @me with the answer to this too someday please
9. Allie. Allie is allegedly going to be voting with this team so time to start working on her? From a results oriented perspective again, common theme, I think I’m doing well socially. Everyone fucking complains about Allie I bet I can get in there. No clue what her mind is though. What is her and Hope want to go with me? I can’t...really do that.
10. Tai. Ok I used to feel bad I didn’t want to include this guy in more of my plans but Alexis basically called me a pussy and said he’s full of shit to everybody. She’s not lying to me these days, so lol@Tai in general. Really like this guy though. I probably showed my hand I wasn’t really really with him a long time ago. Stephannie is really the key relationship here, not Tai. I think I can get back good with Stephannie when I explain how those other fucking morons voted in the Missy tribal. Nobody thinks I should have gone with a group that can’t event decide challenge sit outs, right?
11. Matt. I guess Matt is still here. Good guy. We don’t have anything to burn on and I fucked over Missy so hard lmao. Jess “maybe” wants to work with Matt instead of Michael. What she’s really feeling is the heat from me being so freaking ready to vote her off yesterday. Michael is fine in our group. Moreso than Jess.
12. Reynold. Unlimited breadsticks is all I know
13. Sherri. She’s nice I don’t have a problem but if it makes Liz squirt to have her go sure. I would actually like the merge vote to be Reynold here, if there is an idol they wouldn’t use it on him. Says conventional strategy. Who knows with these fucking weirdo ORG people though, maybe it should be Stephannie. Determined to be a voter, not a leader in this first vote. Our group is together and organized. We need to not fuck up with Aurora, which I think is trending correctly. And Hope/Allie look good??? Even if heck breaks lose again we have 5, probably 6 together no matter what. I may have learned something about sewing discontent in the Missy vote.
Love,
JR

TFW face when Allie tells you Hope voted Missy LOL

Episode 10.5 – 14 Crackheads on Steroids

MERGE!!!!!! You made it!!!!! You’ve outplayed, outwitted, and outlasted 10 people in this game so far – congrats and keep it up! I’ve just got a few questions to tide you over for the weekend.

1. So first off, How are you feeling? Did you expect such a low-key day yesterday? How are you taking advantage of the simplicity?

2. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned since merging into one tribe? Any new information cause you to re-evaluate your short or long term strategies?

3. How far forward are you looking now that you’ve made the merge? Are you more of the “one step at a time” type or the “plan out every detail” type? Is there anyone who you know you will NEVER work with (or NEVER betray)?

4. I’m a sucker for self-reflection – how do you think you’re doing? How do you think your competition sees you?

W0W Loveita questions. :appropriate affection emoji:. Do y’all write these yourselves or is there a non-sentient database you pull them from


I am doing well thanks for asking! MOST days playing Stranded I am having fun. I maintain my day zero quote that this is more work than fun, but if I wasn’t actually having some fun I would just log out and . If Alexis was idoled out and I had to deal with an upset Missy after Wednesday night I would have had a really sour feeling. I wonder if that scenario was ever actually close. I only just mentioned the other day that those are the 2 that really appeal to me emotionally. “hey bitch wyd” - missy. RIP I think I have a potential winning game going on here, going with Missy/Wardog/Matt wasn’t a winning game as fun as that could have been. I am more optimistic about Missy post game than Jess though...that obviously wore me out yesterday. She’s still on pretty thin ice but TODAY yes, she was a good ally. Let’s hope we can make the weekend and the vote without a panic attack. I don’t know what her winning game option from here on out is but “being cool” is necessary to survive the next 2-3 votes. I really enjoyed the exchange when I told her that 90% means 9 in 10 times. Maybe she’s correct in her thinking about w/e the fuck she was talking about but I’m just a data person! I wanted numbers, not conjecture

As the numbers take shape this weekend I think I feel goodish? Really goodish?
Maybe I’m not #1 to win this game but I’ll throw my hat in I’ve got a shot. Hope and Allie kind of sketch me out, but nobody sketches me out more than Jess and she’s voting with me (hopefully)

I think I learned I can get Liz to go with me more than anyone. If I replace Jess with Liz in the Aurora threesome that’s fine. I think Liz will flame herself out though. Most things Liz related from last night are my most valuable info. Allie says she’s with Liz but after talking to her idk

I’m pretty one step at a time. In these games I can’t count an alliance bigger than 4 or 5 as a sure thing. Plus I’m aligned with Jess who was maybe saved by merge no vote. When we need numbers suddenly the rose glasses come back on. I’m not discounting working with Stephannie in the game either, despite us certainly brokering opposite sides of this vote. I need to go back and look at the first time I wrote I thought she was a huge threat to win the whole game. I think everyone gets the deal with Alexis @me if you don’t. Will laugh if I’m so wrong and she votes me out soon. I don’t allow myself to get overly paranoid, I dont worry about that happening. If it does I guess I s-u-c-k at this game. I would cut her, but only if it immediately lead to me winning. I dunno how to handle the fact that she kinda owes me moving forward. Not a social situation I am familiar with

I would never rule out working with anyone but how could I ever vote with Matt, Reynold, Sherri???? Going to reiterate for the 10th time here I’m into keeping the honesty and trust with Aurora as much as possible. With the course of events lately, it would be easy for that to be an unrepairable deal, but it took less than 24 hours to get trust flowing again IMO. She speaks to me the way I like to be spoken too

I am too reluctant to ever say I think I am doing well and have a long term future here. But I’m doing aight. The numbers are going to shake out for me or they aren’t. I haven’t played some master deception game I’ve just tried to get people to like me. I think I might be underrated in most people eyes IMO. I was worried during the Missy vote everyone would get together and vote Me. The truth is probably the opposite, everyone is actually always trying to get ME to go with them. I like my body of work and resources to cite here in confessional. I don’t know what is or isn’t a winning game but I DO have a game over the course of the last 10 confessional threads.

This shit is way too fluid still to try to break down a mid merge scenario. Let’s get through 1 vote...ideally 3 votes, and then start to shake it up

I’d like to edit my rankings to move Stephannie above Hope btw

[Rocker]

Respectfully I’m going to not attempt this challenge and just take a zero. Nothing personal on this challenge.

Love, the rock
