Welcome!

[Host Jeremiah]

Welcome to your confessional! In this forum keep your lovely hosts updated on what's happening in the games, and you'll vote for who you want to leave the game. Vote for who you want to leave the game using this parchment.

You may cast your votes in this thread, or you can make a new thread to cast your votes.



A few gentle reminders:



1) Updated boot lists are mandatory! Create a boot list of all the players in the game, the first player being who you would vote out first, and the last player being who you would vote out last. This will prevent you from self-voting at tribal council. Players who don't provide a boot list will self vote at every tribal council they attend until they make one.

2) This is ALL STARS, and a great All Star game has good confessionals. So please continue to write them. If we ever want to ask you back for another season, we will consider the confesionals you wrote into account, including in this season.

I have some pre-game questions for you all. Answer them if you want!


1) How has your game changed since you last played? How have you improved?
2) Who do you know in this cast? Any friends? Any enemies?
3) Do you think you're going to come into this with a reputation? If so, how will you overcome it?
4) What will you do to win Survivor Warriors: Sicily?

Good luck!

Before I say anything else, let me just say this: I am truly excited to play this game. Everyone in the Warriors community has been awesome over the last year-ish, and I’m so hyped to play in this series again. This isn’t my first go in an All Star game, but it’s the one I’m most excited for. Whatever happens here, y’all have been awesome, and I hope us bloodthirsty contestants will all stay friends when this is over.

There we go! Gif’s, providing Austin easy seque’s since 2014, haha.

1) How has your game changed since you last played? How have you improved?

God, it’s been a year, and I spent a bunch of it wasting my life playing ORGs, dayum, haha.

I mean, my game isn’t completely different - I still tend to slip into a position of power, but I don’t think I’m nearly as OTT as I was last time. I’ve had a lot of time to experiment and find a balance - won a FTC, was a goat in another, got a variety of positions. It’s been very high variance, as I’m sure Jeremy could tell you, playing with me in two games where I went completely different routes. (States Delaware and States Iowa) Greece was my second game - I didn’t know nearly as much then as I do know, and it's kinda mind boggling going back to my old confessionals, and seeing hints of abundantly clear things that I completely missed.

I don’t think I’ve perfected the “Austin” game, but I’ve made a lot of headway in being the type of player I envisioned when I picked Austin Carty as my rep. I’m good in challenges, but not the beast. I’m good strategically, but I’m not masterminding plots the whole game. And I’m definitely there socially, but I’m not the guy going full tilt and being best friends with every singular person. Sure, I’m a threat - but it's a vague thing, in the back of people’s minds. They can’t point to any one reason, which lets me hide easier, and ideally get to the end. The under the radar gamer - that's the most successful archytype, and I think I’m seen as nonthreatening enough, as goofy enough, that I can pull it off, and maybe win this thing.

2) Who do you know in this cast? Any friends? Any enemies?

I JUST wrote a huge piece on this, Jeremy. God, it’s like you don’t personalize these at all. As quick TL;DR of that, I’m probably one of the more well connected contestants this season, and in particular, I think I can work with Alina, Brian, Crystal, and Lex in particular. I don’t have any particular enemies, but people that don’t really work for the game I’m planning on playing are Edgardo and Alex. (SCREW YOU FIJI!)

3) Do you think you're going to come into this with a reputation? If so, how will you overcome it?

* Looks at AS title * “The Strategist.” Thanks Jeremy, thanks a bunch for that dumb joke that could put a target on me. Nah, I think if anything, I don’t need to overcome my reputation - I need to stick to it. I’m book smart, street not, goofy guy - and if people only think of me as the vaguely likable doofus, they’ll undervalue what I’m actually offering. In theory, anyway. It could hurt me, if I make it to FTC, but the odds of that happening are slim as fuck, haha, and no sense worrying about it unless I somehow “bumblefuck” my way there, ne?

4) What will you do to win Survivor Warriors: Sicily?

I mean, the only person I’ve explicitly promised to work with Alina - and even then, if it comes down to it, I’m willing to vote her out. I’m willing to vote pretty much anyone, if it comes to that. My game’s adaptable enough, that if my ideal strategy doesn’t work out, that I think I can pull through regardless. Having said that, the way I’m planning on winning? Be loyal to my allies, prove that loyalty, get them out after thinning the field, and be the most likable guy standing at the end. Cliche’d, but effective. Probably won’t happen, because All Stars are insane, but that’s the goal.
