Confessionals (Episode 1)

OMG I'M BACK IN THE GAME!

To be honest back in the winter/spring I was considering dropping out of ORGs altogether solely because of the time they take up and how I need to start focusing on my academics and finding an internship and trying to stop being a bum with my life. Unfortunately, I made poor decisions all semester long and decided HEY WHY NOT JOIN ANOTHER GAME?!?!? But for real I didn't want to miss the opportunity to be in Warriors All-Stars. I had a blast in both of the seasons I played, so it only feels right to me to join this one. I could never say no to the pretty faces of Aras and Jeremiah.

So here I am. I have officially been a player in Warriors 1 and 3 and now 5. These odd numbers feel oddly lucky to me, so I'm hoping to keep the ball rolling. The first two seasons I got 2nd place and tied for 2nd place, respectively, so at this point I just want another chance to make it far. Clearly I'm not a threat to win, so these people SHOULD keep me around.

Alrighty, so this game kicks off, I look around, and there are 24 contestants playing. TWENTY-FOUR. That's like... older than me. Naturally, I was completely intimidated by the All Stars roster. There are 6 cast members from each season making up a gang to be rivaled. Honestly, I don't stand a chance against most of these people, so I'm going to use this game as an opportunity to have some fun and mess with people. There will probably be a lot of people coming back and gamebotting it up, but truthfully I have NOTHING to prove and every episode that I survive is an episode longer than I expected. I'll probably be total cannon fodder in this game so light me up and see how many sparks I can set off!

After the cast was introduced, we were split up into two tribes: Team Jeremiah and Team Aras. Naturally, this is leading to some bad blood with the hosts. I'm not sure I can ever forgive Jeremy for not picking me to be on his tribe. Luckily, Aras is a sex kitten earth angel so I'm sure I can manage. The worst part about these tribe divisions are my separations from Kass and Peih-Gee. Kass is my rock and a superstar in life, while PG is my main side hoe. Without both of them I am feeling LOST.

On the plus side, I have the fiesty and inspiring Abi-Maria with me, the charmingly bitchy Alina, the SUPERSTAR AND ALL STARS WINNER Sierra, the sexy smouldering Silas, and hell even goat-fucker Dolly is on my good side right now. The Aras tribe is coming into this first challenge with a very POSITIVE attitude and I really think we can pull off this victory. This is a FUN tribe and I already feel the good vibes. I sound like a Hippie-Dippie Psycho, but somehow nobody has pissed me off yet lol.

To end this very first edition of Baylor's confessionals in AS, I offer up a Baygourd! This is a very rare breed of gourd grown only in my garden. I am sacrificing it to the Warriors gods for the good health and prosperity of my game:

So as of last night, my closest allies and friends in this game are Kass and PG, both of whom I talk to regularly and even went on a skype call with briefly because Kass goaded me into it. Naturally, they are on the other tribe so those relationships are USELESS to me.

What I've been doing recently is trying to build relationships with the people within my tribe. I don't have any alliances yet though, which is completely terrifying. I'm just going to hope that the alliances are building a bit slower on our side of things and that I will end up in one with time. Or I'll just be a complete mess and end up voted out incredibly early. Both seem fairly likely as options so far.

Anyways, as I was saying, I've been trying to build up relationships within my tribe. Alina and I have a good working relationship so far and understand each other. Sierra is my HOMEGURL and I pray that she's serious when she's talking to me about our alliance because I absolutely want to work with her and see her successful. Hell, I might even throw this game away if it helps her out in any way. I really really like Silas and I know him from a few games and he remembers some anecdotes I gave him about my love life so <3 in advance. Dolly is really fun to talk to. Alex/Abi I know by virtue of being F4 with them in Season 3 so I have a functioning relationship with them as well. Oh and I love Edgardo too. Everybody else I haven't talked with yet. I expect I'm cool with T-Bird and Fairplay based on Season 1 and the newest Chronicles, respectively, but I'm definitely not banking on it.

I'm most worried about Kelly both because she is a previous winner and that's fucking scary, plus we did not have a good relationship at all in Chronicles 16. In fact, she aligned with everyone I hated/who hated me. So needless to say, there's a bit of tension there. If I gain any sort of power in this tribe, I would target Kelly without a doubt in my mind.

However, a lot of strategy hasn't come into play because we expended most of our energy on a grueling 24 hour challenge. If this is just the first challenge, then I am terrified of what is to come. I'm actually considering breaking my own leg so that I don't have to participate in any more challenges. It worked for my mawm so it could work for me, right?!?

But in all seriousness, this challenge SUCKED! Not only was it a 24 hour posting challenge, but it was a "post every 15 minutes" challenge. It couldn't have been a 1/2 to an hour so that I could actually get some sleep?!?!? 15 MINUTES IS TOO SHORT FOR A CAT NAP! But because I am a trooper and a team player, I fought really hard in this challenge and stayed up for most of the night posting. I am really proud of all the hard work I put into this challenge. Working hard is hard work, you know?

Oh also I forgot to mention that my tribe got a bit irritating during the challenge. I know they were trying to be helpful by giving a 1 minute warning on AIM every 15 minutes, but WE GET THE POINT! WE KNOW WHEN TO POST! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Also, Alina literally counted the other tribes post counts to figure out how the other tribe was stacking up compared to us. Insanely Intense? Yes. Genius? Yes. Necessary? Not really, no. I highly doubt any of us changed our posting habits based on the numbers she was reporting. However, it does give me a giant neon sign that says Alina is dangerous. She is really crafty and an outside-the-box thinker, which is always terrifying. Give me a simple-minded loyal person like myself any day of the week thank you very much.

Anyways, the challenge results came in AND WE WON! YAYYYYY! I'm super excited and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I was really worried about coming back for All Stars only to end up as the first boot and disappearing into the night. I may very well still end up as an early boot, but I'm not the FIRST BOOT and that is exciting as all hell. BAYLOR LIVES TIL NEXT WEEK BITCHES!
