I will use this thread to post about the game in general until something significant enough happens that it stops being the "early game."

Strangely enough, Robin has initiated alliance talk with me. There goes any chance of me being towards the bottom of this tribe... I will be loyal to Robin, because he found me worthwhile enough to start an alliance with, but I am debating who to tell about this. Does Zatanna really need to know that Robin has offered me an alliance? That may alert her to the fact that I am stronger than I look. I think I will keep my newfound connection to Robin a secret for the moment.

Robin is somewhat upset by the fact that Zat has not replied to his last message. This means that he at least does not like her more than he likes myself. Is it just me, or does everyone dislike everyone but me?

Rorschach
 
Well, I'm not sure how much effort I want to put in to the second part since we got a goose egg on the first >:/

Just to let you know I've got your back for a good while, I hope you have mine too. You seem to be putting the most effort into the game out of our teammates so far and I imagine you'll be consistent for the entire game.


...
WHY DOES THIS TRIBE LOVE ME SO?!?

Oh. I know. It is because no one but myself and the Woman of Wonder is making any effort to be social. I have had a total of six messages with Rorschach, and suddenly, I am worthy of his allegiance? It makes no sense to me.

It saddens me that Zatanna has not logged on in over 24 hours. I expected much more from her. I truly hope she returns and adds presence to this team.

Ironically, the one active player who has not offered to align with me is the Woman of Wonder, and I consider her my true best friend right now.

Zatanna has returned! Thank Glorthrog, I was getting worried! I told her Rorschach offered an exchange of backs with me, but I did not mention my agreement with Robin to her. Rorschach is not doing anything, so I do not feel very much loyalty towards him. However, Robin has made an effort to build a relationship with me, so I will return the favor to him by being loyal.

We have to vote someone out, but it is not very unfortunate. Black Canary simply cannot start off the game by leaving for eight days, especially when our tribe is weak as it is. Black Canary, I am sorry, but I am not sorry.

Well, now that you're at least somewhat settled in, it's time to start blasting you with redundant, incessant questions. Surely you'll like that, yes?

1.) Your tribe is headed to Tribal Council. How does that feel? Are you nervous it could be you?
2.) Who do you think is in trouble on the other DC tribe? What makes you think so?
3.) Please give a run-down of your opinions on/first impressions of your tribemates, if you have not already done so in this confessional.
4.) Who is your favorite player in this game? If you answered yourself, who is your second favorite? How much do you trust them?
5.) If you could vote off anyone on your tribe right now, who would you choose? Why? If applicable, are you trying to push for them to go tonight?
6.) Where do you think you fall in the tribe hierarchy?

That sounds delightful, Mr. Mysterious Voice! I started writing this a couple of hours before it was posted, so some information may be a little outdated.

1.) Your tribe is headed to Tribal Council. How does that feel? Are you nervous it could be you?

There is absolutely no way I am being voted out at this Tribal Council. The idea of that is a joke. Going to Tribal Council and losing a member of your team is almost always saddening, but not when you are getting rid of dead weight.

2.) Who do you think is in trouble on the other DC tribe? What makes you think so?

I do not have a very strong idea of how the Villains are set up. If I had to make a guess, I would say that either Zod or Black Manta is going to be voted out by them, just because I do not see those two online as much as I see the other four. They also have far less posts than the other four, so they most likely contributed to the challenge the least.

3.) Please give a run-down of your opinions on/first impressions of your tribemates, if you have not already done so in this confessional.

I will give an updated analysis of the players on my team.

Black Canary
She has done absolutely nothing and will be voted out unanimously at this Tribal Council.

Robin
Robin is a very average player. He does not have much of a personality, and he likes to stay away from discussion that does not have to do with the game. Some players may not enjoy that, but I am okay with it. I can handle his straightforward approach to the game. He does not have the Woman of Wonder's favor, but he is doing a decent job of talking to Zatanna. He will be safe for at least the next two Tribal Councils. Hopefully, we will not have to go to more than two, but if we go to a third, I could see Robin being in trouble. If he survives long enough, I am considering him as a possible person to prepare to sit at Final Tribal Council with. With my neutral floating strategy, he would make for a perfect weaker partner in crime. We will see how that progresses, though.

Rorschach
If I had to rank everyone but Black Canary in terms of how well they are doing, Rorschach would be at the bottom of the list. He is not getting along well with anyone else on the tribe, and it is because he is just not talking enough. He has sent four messages to me, the last of which was an offer to watch each other's backs. That is not enough conversation for me to feel comfortable being his ally. He has apparently not sent the Woman of Wonder a single message, even though there are two from her waiting inside his inbox. She has brought up the idea of voting out Rorschach even before Black Canary, and while I doubt that will actually happen, it does not say good things about his place in the game. He is bound to be the second player this tribe votes out.

Wonder Woman
The Woman of Wonder and I have a strange relationship. We are great friends, and we have a lot of fun talking about topics unrelated to the game. However, I do not discuss the game with her as much as I do with Zatanna. She is the only active player who has not offered to join forces with me, but ironically, I enjoy her the most. She may just take things slower than the rest of our team, though, and I am okay with that. I can see something great brewing between us.

Zatanna
Even though she was missing for over 24 hours, I have talked the most with Zatanna, by far. Zat is very active when she is around, and she can be very witty and, uh, "sarcastic." I wanted Zat to have all of the allies under her control, and me just be her best ally, but our team had other plans. Zat is very smart, and although I feel close to her right now, she is someone I will have to look out for later on in the game. I will always act as if I am her best friend, but I know she will be stronger than me towards the end of the game, so she will have to be taken care of. She has no chance of being eliminated from this tribe, though, unless she does something dumb.

4.) Who is your favorite player in this game? If you answered yourself, who is your second favorite? How much do you trust them?

My favorite player... That would have to be the Woman of Wonder. She and I get along very well on a personal level. We are always able to find something to discuss, whether it be taking care of Bungorfs, helping people, or just current life events. She is a woman of wonder, true to her name, and I have to consider her my favorite player in the game. We have not yet discussed placing trust in each other's hands, but I would trust almost anything she told me at this point, within reason.

5.) If you could vote off anyone on your tribe right now, who would you choose? Why? If applicable, are you trying to push for them to go tonight?

Black Canary. She is a proper first vote - she has not talked to a single person. I am fine with making a decision that is best for the tribe right now. Of course I will be pushing for her to go tonight.

6.) Where do you think you fall in the tribe hierarchy?

I have accidentally been placed at the top of the tribal hierarchy. Zatanna and I joined forces early on and have yet to discuss additions to our alliance. Robin approached me, interested in working together, and while he has expressed interest in expanding our alliance, Black Canary has stalled that move. Rorschach has even reached out to me requesting that we watch each other's backs. From what I can tell, Wonder Woman has made no attempts to align with anyone, so she is not someone I need to worry about. This means that I am at the highest position in the tribe.

Wonder Woman
 
So, I know it's a bit presumptuous of me, but how do you feel about sticking close together?


The Woman of Wonder completes my list of allies. Once Black Canary is voted out, I will be committed to every player on my team. This is the exact opposite of how I intended to play, but I will go along with it.
