First thing I'll say that there is too much positivity in games such as this. "X is so great! I love talking to them." and "They do Y, making them an awesome ally!" Cringe-worthy positive garbage, the lot of it. I have to be the friendly, cheerful, energetic one in all the PMs I send, so I can not and will not put up with it here as well. If you want fluffy, joyful posts, go read Beast Boy's confessional. Now, he's a merry chap if ever I saw one. Only read on here if you enjoy feeling the darkness of my mind, the inner hatred I store inside for this game and all its players. And now onto my confessional. I will begin by commenting on Krypto and Matter-Eater Lad. Now the first does not surprise me. Someone known as 'Superdog' is going to be a disappointment no matter how you look at things. Superman's pet, white dog of generic pedigree? Bah. This canine has been online for hours now but still hasn't responded to my PM, one with a question at that! It's possible I put him off with the following quote:
It was meant to come across as a joke that could be read as me wanting to destroy Superman when really I don't want that at all, but maybe the truth rang a little too true. It's possible Krypto realised how twisted I really am and is avoiding me for that reason, perhaps he isn't the crime-fighting, truly American dog his avatar says he is. ![]() I mean, look at this. Really now? In any case, Krypto can be the first to go. While others may be humouring me, they at least put up with my questions and sadistic comments, something that I find a lot more respectful. Matter-Eater Lad, however, isn't all that much better. This guy who would prefer others to think he doesn't eat people has also been online for a while now with no response to my latest PM. Now he is another that has a potential problem with my villainous ways, with this question quite visibly causing him some discomfort:
Again, was supposed to be a joke, but another that sees through my faked sense of humour. From now on, I will be completely charming with no hint of what I may be underneath (except with Mad Hatter, we talk of how we're going to kill Batman), but Matter-Eater Lad can still go. Just after Krypto because at least my PM to him didn't contain a question. Batwoman was also probably disturbed by me asking how she'd like to die, but she pushed on, and we are now in fact beginning to have a decent conversation. I do not know if she sees through me at this stage, but she did call the question odd, which betrays a certain unease with my initial interaction. She will be one to watch out for, as she strikes me as the kind that would love to put me behind bars (that are not these holding cells) as soon as she could, yet is probably willing to put up with me for the time being. The most important thing is that I end up effecting her demise before she does mine. Jackanapes delightfully appeared unphased by the same question asked of him and apart from the unfortunate incident where I was taken away from the game for several hours, our conversation seems to be progressing rather well. Whether he will become one of my minions or not, we will discover the answer to that soon enough. Bane splendidly appears as villainous as I am, and similar to Jackanapes I feel we have established a decent rapport. I believe he will be more difficult to obtain as a minion than the tame monkey, but we will see where things go. Beast Boy is someone I can potentially have quite attached to me, as we 'bond' over our shared liking for long PMs. I am concerned because this tribe seems to be more fond of words than others I've seen, yet if I just amp up the word count a whole lot more, I may be in prime position to have Beast Boy be mine. Mad Hatter is my first official ally. He appears quite talkative and may be more significantly attached to others than he claims, yet he was the one to offer me an alliance, which would under most circumstances indicate he does not want me gone first. It is only up from here! And yeah, I've tried but I don't think I can keep this up. Normal confessional posts coming up! Edited by James Gordon Jr., Jul 14 2015, 07:35:55 AM.

Okay yeah, back to normal talk! It's interesting that I've come across as more odd than I'm used to coming across, in large part due to 'playing the villain'. It's difficult to tell whether this is people finding me strange or actively disliking me though. I'll probably gain more insight into this later! Our tribe also seems very active socially, and Jack is going into detail with me sharing his paranoia about what would happen if we lose a challenge. I'm pretty sure he would be fine and I've told him as such. I'm much more concerned about my own safety, considering that I've been a bit different here and I don't know what the effect of this will be. Jack coming to me about this is a good sign though, and means I'm probably not a target that everyone is gossiping about, at the very least. I personally have made the least progress with Krypto, who I've only received one PM from, but he's not being brought up as socially weaker (but also not as socially strong) and the PM he did send me was quite good, so I don't feel I can bring his name up yet. Batwoman is probably the one I've talked the least with that has a good social standing in the tribe. I also have my alliance with Mad Hatter, but he seems very keen on being social so I'm not hiding the fact that I've talked most with him as I normally would. He gets onto game talk pretty quickly and didn't seem to hesitant in his alliance offer. I value him as an ally and as it stands he's probably my favourite in the tribe, but I would definitely not be opposed to changing this if the right person came along. Jack may be a potential option based on the conversation we're having, though my personal favourites are Beast Boy and Bane. The Matter-Eater is ok, and did get back to me, but he's just ok. And finally there has been a lot of talk of killing Batman, which I think was started by me (oops), so Batman, if you're out there, watch out! |

[Joker Interrogation 1] [01] So, we're about twelve hours in. What are your initial impressions of your tribemates? [02] Is there anyone you think would make a good ally? Anyone you've already allied with? [03] On the flipside, is there anyone that you don't want to ally with? Someone who either seems useless or a threat? [04] What's your guess on when the first twist will happen? [05] Who's your favorite mod? (Warning: There is at most one correct answer to this) [06] Would you rather lead a majority alliance, be a lower ranking member of a majority alliance, or form a bunch of smaller bonds while looking like you're on the outside? [08] Do you have any idea what happened to question seven? |

Spectator Request: Hey, this is just a quick question that I'm asking everyone: What's been your favourite PM exchange from the Holding Cell first 24-hours part of the game? Were there any outstanding quotes you'd like to share with us, the audience? Even just one great quote would be fantastic to see, so I thought I'd ask now! |

I will get to questions later. I initially thought Rorschach was kind of meh but now he's offered me an alliance (he's an eager beaver, that one!) so he might just be my new favourite on the tribe. Matter-Eater is fine and all but I don't feel much of a connection with him? |

So a lot of what I have to say will coincide with the confessional questions! I'll say my bit first and then try and answer anything I've missed. Now Riddler I haven't seen or heard from. This is closer to what I'm used to! Everyone's talking about how he's not around and the obvious unofficial consensus is that he's going to probably be the one to go if we do have to vote someone out. Really though, even if he turns up I think I'm bound to be in a decent spot. Two-Face is for some reason really disliked by Rorschach (I don't have any idea why really) and Red Arrow seems to pretty slow when it comes to PMing so far. Rorschach honestly isn't that great at sending PMs either (nor is he as open with me as I am with him, but no matter) but he did offer me an alliance and I do honestly like the guy! Matter-Eater Lad is someone I don't know how to place to be honest. He sends lengthy PMs and is by all means a good talker, but I just feel nothing when it comes to him. I've even given up my villain schtick and have become regular charmer James, but still nothing that makes me feel incredibly warm about him! I have a feeling this hatemance is two-sided since I'm pretty sure I got off to a bad start with him, but if other people think the same of him I certainly won't complain! I doubt he'll be in any danger on this tribe though since he actually does talk and hey, maybe it's an opportunity for our own relationship to grow. As it stands though, I really don't care about him. I'm pretending I sort of do with people like Rorschach and maybe he thinks we're allied because of it. That would be pretty funny! Even though Rorschach seemed incredibly quick to get in an alliance with me and has probably done the same with others, I don't mind the guy and as hinted at above, he's probably who I care most about here. Red Arrow is one to watch out for though! I've only received two PMs from him, but I like him based on what I've seen, so who knows? Now quotes from people in this tribe! Matter-Eater is honestly sort of boring to me, but this is probably what I liked most from him as it meant I could go on a rant about jogging!
I actually liked Two-Face's first PM to me most. It was straight and to the point. ![]()
This is Red Arrow, though actually as I'm writing this post I realise that he's actually really interesting! He called one of my puns terrible too! ![]()
And finally Rorschach. He's like Matter-Eater Lad in that he's sort of boring, but we sort of bonded here:
I'm sort of exaggerating how little I care about the game in order to appear less threatening, but the stuff about viewing it as a game I definitely can relate to! Also I've realised that Rorschach keeps calling Matter-Eater a fun guy. What's up with that? If he wants me to reveal how much I love the guy he's not getting that, and I am definitely not going to share with dear old Rory my weird hatred for Matter-Eater. So I kind of throw vague comments his way and he can do what he wants with them! |

Now for my old tribe that already feels like ages ago, I obviously had the alliance with Mad Hatter and he started talking about us being a F2 alliance soon after becoming allies and doing this either makes you TBO, a newer player or someone lying through their teeth. I don't know which it is yet! So yeah, that's kind of weird and maybe he was joking and he'll probably have moved on from his alliance with me by the time we meet back up, but I'll milk our connection for all it's worth when that happens. I loved his answer to my first question though. It was spectacular.
Jack and Beast Boy were probably the next I liked most. Beast Boy because we were just starting to send each other mega PMs and Jack because we actually started talking and stuff! Batwoman is kind of not quite up there but not quite bad either. She was okay! I should get around to watching that television show she recommended though! And Krypto I barely talked to and was supposed to want out or something, so there you go! |
