Y'all know me and my general reluctance to Do A Capitalism, but like. It's the time and I'm trying to buy my wife a new computer so here I am, Doing A Capitalism. Everything is half off, plus a completely ridiculous "buy it allllll" which amounts to about 75% off.
Highlights include:
​By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan,​ which is the best RPG ever made about Oscar Wilde plays. This one, in addition to being a hilarious and exhausting game that will resonate with the theater kids in the audience, is just a very funny read.
​Penis 2.0.77​, which is not a "game" so much as it is a zine full of jokes about genitals. Finish off the elaborate character creation for a game that doesn't exist, entirely focused on your underwear zone. 
​Let's Rob RJ McElhenny and Steal Her Golden Quill​, which... hold up, let's check and see if Rowling has said anything this week which makes me want to cry and puke... checking... checking... and yes, of course she did, which means this game is a fucking evergreen catharsis fantasy of wizards robbing a terrible billionaire. 
​You're all lost, starving, in the snowy wilds. You need food. You must sacrifice somebody. But who? Discuss. Vote. Live., ​​​​​ which is a game whose entire text consists of that title, which maxes out the "title field" length when uploading to itch. That was made for a jam and damn if I'm not proud. 
​​o tawa​, which is to the best of my knowledge the first and only RPG written from the ground up in Toki Pona. sona mi la, musi ni li musi wan taso lon toki pona taso. musi la, sina ken tawa lon telo suli, li ken lukin e ma telo nasa, li ken pana e pona tawa jan ale. kin la, sina jo e wawa nasa kepeken nimi pi toki pona. It's a cool way to practice the language if you're learning it! 
​Wooden Sword Thespians​, which is just me going "Thirsty Sword Lesbians is pretty fun but what if instead of powerful adventurers defending your community from toxic threats, you were trying to put on a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream?" 
​And more! There's a Disco Elysium game, a Locked Tomb game, a Next Generation game, and weirder little games besides. 
Check it out. Get some games at some discounts. Laugh at my little japes and jests. Get my wife an Acer Aspire TC so she can play Binding of Isaac while she's supposed to be working. Engage in Capital with me.

I think the saddest part about liking Homestuck as a kid and then growing out of it is realizing that, like.
Homestuck was written by a 2009 4chan idiot. The kids were never meant to be aracial, Hussie initially imagined them all as pasty white kiddos and then backpedaled when people pointed it out. The trolls' most common sexuality being bi/pan wasn't done to be progressive, it was done because Alternia is supposed a backwards evil murderous hellplanet and a race of humanoids queer by earth standards would piss off 2010 Newgrounds neckbeards. Nepeta being repeatedly called a retarded autist because autistic people are cringey violent freaks. Damara just being a horny Japanese schoolgirl racist caricature, Kurloz being a mute asshole who plays mind games with his friends, the 'author's pet' character being a manipulative, gaslighting bitch explicitly meant to piss the audience off. Right down to the fucking evil pretentious ess-jay-dubble-yoo minority stereotype. It's all very... of it's time, to say the least. If Homestuck came out today with the same mindset Hussie was in when writing the original, I guaran-fucking-tee there would be some fucking "lowlblood lives matter" character who would rob a fucking random house in the same breath.
Which, all this could be excused as the culture of the time, if... y'know... Hussie wasn't still being Fucking Weird in the current era. Like having the main surviving gay man be the apparent main villain, or having the main wlw couple start constantly lying to and being deceitful with each other out of bumfuck nowhere, or pulling a JK Rowling and implying Vriska "Manipulative Serial Murderer" Serket is Actually A Trans Woman, or having an unwarned suicide scene in Friendsim played for comedy, or naming a child character after a porn subgenre because he thought it'd be funny to piss people off with it, it's just... All so fucking tasteless. It's trying way too goddamn hard, all of this is shit that you just can't be fucking doing in the modern era if you're still trying to gain clout from the left.
And the funny part about that is that people... kind of realized it. Because the fandom is a ghost town mostly filled with people who like Homestuck more for what it could've been than what it actually was. It's like what happened with Sherlock; all those kids who kept your media alive eventually realized you were laughing at them and not with them, and they left.
And I guess that's why all Andrew Hussie does nowadays is try to coast on the Hiveswap clout while allowing his employees to harass youtubers and discord admins and getting cyberbullied by his own fandom.

Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes Cast: Where Have You Seen Tom Bateman and Eve Hewson Before?
https://ift.tt/3pterfQ
Netflix psychological thriller Behind Her Eyes, adapted from Sarah Pinborough’s hit novel of the same name, sets its cast an unenviably tough task (and not just because almost everyone’s having to do a regional accent). Through subtleties and shifts in their performances, Eve Hewson, Tom Bateman, Simona Brown and Robert Aramayo need to keep the audience invested while keeping us guessing. What is it we’re watching? Is this six-part series the tale of Adele and David’s brittle marriage and the secrets that bind them? Or the story of single-mother Louise (Simona Brown) getting in over her head with this glamorous new couple? Could it be something else entirely?
While you’re asking yourself those questions, you’ll likely be asking another: where have I seen that guy before? While we can’t help with the former and stay spoiler-free, we can answer that one…
Eve Hewson as Adele
Dublin-born actor Eve Hewson most recently played lead Anna Weatherall in BBC-Starz period fantasy The Luminaries, an adaptation of Eleanor Catton’s 2013 Booker Prize-winning novel set against the backdrop of the west coast New Zealand Gold Rush. Before that, her major TV role was opposite Clive Owen, playing Nurse Lucy Elkins in Steven Soderbergh’s Cinemax period drama The Knick set in an experimental hospital in 1900.
The 29-year-old has also appeared in several high-profile films, playing the Marian to Taron Egerton’s Robin in the 2018 Robin Hood. She’s starred alongside Ethan Hawke in Tesla, opposite Sean Penn in Paulo Sorrentino’s This Must Be The Place, and with Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies. Born Memphis Eve Sunny Day Hewson, she’s the daughter of Irish activist Ali Hewson and musician Paul Hewson aka U2’s Bono.
Tom Bateman as David
English actor Tom Bateman’s biggest film role so far is as the roguish but charming Bouc in Kenneth Branagh’s 2017 Murder on the Orient Express, a part he has returned to for Branagh’s second Agatha Christie feature adaptation Death on the Nile, due for release later this year. Bouc is a fond old “ami” of detective Hercule Poirot who works as the on-board director for his wealthy uncle’s train company. He starred opposite Liam Neeson in 2019 action-thriller Cold Pursuit and alongside Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer in 2017 comedy Snatched.
TV-wise, you may have seen him as the lead John Beecham in ITV romantic period drama Beecham House, or as Rawdon Crawley, the drinking and duelling husband of Becky Sharp in ITV’s period comedy adaptation Vanity Fair.  Bateman also played sleazy tabloid journalist Danny Hillier in Sky Atlantic’s The Tunnel and Guiliano Medici opposite Tom Riley’s Leonardo in period fantasy Da Vinci’s Demons. For ITV, he played Robert Jekyll in short-lived family fantasy Jekyll & Hyde. Among several stage roles, he acted alongside David Tennant and Catherine Tate in a 2011 production of Much Ado About Nothing.
Simona Brown as Louise
Prior to Behind Her Eyes, 26-year-old English actor Simona Brown’s most prominent roles were as operative Rachel in 1970s-set BBC One spy thriller The Little Drummer Girl, alongside Florence Pugh, Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard; and as the troubled Tess in Channel 4’s virtual-reality drama Kiss Me First. She also appeared in US 2016 psychological thriller series Guilt and opposite Fionn Whitehead in ITV paranormal thriller HIM. Brown had a role in the 2016 remake of acclaimed slave drama Roots, and played the Grace in hit UK thriller The Night Manager – another John Le Carré adaptation for BBC One.

TV
New on Netflix UK February 2021
By Louisa Mellor
TV
Firefly Lane and the Problem with Aging up and Down
By Rosie Fletcher
In 2015, Brown played schoolgirl Gaia in BBC One’s adaptation of JK Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy, and starred opposite Georgina Campbell in acclaimed BBC Three drama Murdered by my Boyfriend. Credited as Chontelle Brown, she also appeared in a two-part story on Russell T Davies’ CBBC sci-fi fantasy Wizards Vs Aliens.
Robert Aramayo as Rob
Yorkshire-born 28-year-old actor Robert Aramayo will be most recognisable to Game of Thrones fans as the young Ned Stark in the HBO show’s seasons six and seven flashbacks. He played the younger version of Sean Bean’s character in the Tower of Joy scenes that held the clue to the real identity of bastard Jon Snow. He memorably played serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley Jr in the second season of Netflix’s Mindhunter, and Texan character Turk in Rob Ford’s violent thriller feature film Nocturnal Animals.
Aramayo is also linked to another high-profile fantasy TV show, having been cast as the lead in Amazon’s pricy new The Lord of the Rings TV series, replacing Will Poulter who’d left the production due to scheduling conflicts. Another big role for Aramayo sees him co-starring with Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Gemma Arterton and more in Matthew Vaughan’s 2021 feature prequel The King’s Man.
Tyler Howitt as Adam
You may recognise Louise’s seven-year-old son Adam, played by Tyler Howitt, from the first season of BBC-HBO fantasy His Dark Materials. Howitt played Billy Costa, a young Gyptian boy kidnapped by ‘The Gobblers’ and taken to a remote research facility in the far north, where he was cruelly experimented on.  
Georgie Glen as Sue
Glen plays Sue, who works with Louise and David as a psychiatrist’s receptionist and secretary. With screen credits going back to the 1980s, the Scottish actor has had too many roles to list here. Most recently, you’ll have seen her as GP surgery receptionist Miss Higgins on BBC One’s Call The Midwife, and as Lady Fermoy in season four of The Crown. She’s also lately appeared in Hetty Feather, Damned, Sally4Ever and The Victim.
Eva Birthistle as Marianne
Though uncredited on IMDb at the time of writing, Irish actor Eva Birthistle plays Brighton café owner Marianne in Behind Her Eyes. She’s already had a long and varied career on screen, with stand-out roles as nun-turned-warrior-turned-Abbess Hild on Netflix’s action period adaptation The Last Kingdom, and even more recently as Vanessa on Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga young adult fantasy series.
Aston McAuley as Anthony
McAuley plays addict and psychiatric patient Anthony Hawkins in Behind Her Eyes, and has previously appeared in ITV crime drama Endeavour, 2019 Elton John biopic Rocketman, Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield and BBC Three polyamory relationship drama Trigonometry.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Edinburgh's Attractions
The day in Edinburgh began a lot like how I spend most other days as a tourist in a new city - with a free walking tour! Our guide James gathered us together as a group of 30 or so at the Royal Mile (which isn't actually a mile but it a so-called "Scottish Mile" of around 200m more than a regular mile). Our first stop was at the city chambers for our first history lesson of the tour after some quick introductions. Of course we began with the history of the city of Edinburgh, built between three volcanoes with the Royal Mile actually lying on top of layers of volcanic rock. James told us about the grisly death of William Wallace involving being hung until he was almost dead then tied to four horses who tore him into quarters as they ran in different directions. Then we played a game of guessing how many storeys high the city chambers building was - of course it looks 4-5 storeys but because of Edinburgh's hilly disposition the correct answer was actually 11! We stopped at the Market Cross which is one of the oldest structures in Edinburgh, it's from 1885 and actually isn't even the original but rather one created slightly further up the Royal Mile to replace the wooden original. As history would have it thieves and criminals were nailed to the cross for 24 hours for their crime, but apparently if they wished to free themselves they could simply yank themselves off the cross but some flesh might remain on the cross... now there is a unicorn on top - the national animal of Scotland. Nearby we visited the Parliament building of Edinburgh which now serves as law courts since they built a new parliament building (and went over budget by £5 million...). In the small square outside there was a statue of Charles the 2nd on a horse, however the sculptor had accidentally sculpted the wrong person's head so he simply continued the statue and left the original head on top. But he was very annoyed that he'd been scolded for his mistake so he left a hole in the top of the head and also in the bottom of the horse Charles was riding so each time it rained the horse would appear to be peeing all over the square. We passed the John Knox Presbyterian church and James pointed out a small plaque on parking spot 23 which is the actual burial place of John Knox. We were all surprised to be standing on top of a grave and jumped back but he reassured us with a very Scottish "don werry!" On our way to the High Kerk we heard some bagpipes to make our tour properly Scottish, then were told the story of how one woman protested the changing of official religions in Scotland by throwing a chair in the church and supposedly it led to the civil war in the U.K. There is a commemorative statue inside - to the chair, and also an angel playing the bagpipes. On the footpath nearby we stopped at the stone heart which is where an old toll booth used to be. We were all invited to spit into the middle of the heart as apparently tradition would have it! A slight detour and we were in a hidden close (one of 36 down the length of the Royal Mile), here James told us the story of Deacon Brodie who was a problem gambler and also the head locksmith in Edinburgh. He went broke and started robbing the residents of the city blind for 20 years and somehow ended up as the head of task force assigned to catch the Edinburgh thief! Eventually he was discovered and fled to Amsterdam but was caught and taken back to be hung on gallows that he had designed himself. Next we saw a trip step alarm system preserved in a wall, one step was strategically lower than the rest so that a thief would always trip and fall causing the inhabitants of the house to be alerted to their presence. Around the corner James explained to us how in Edinburgh they built living quarters underground and this meant that the sewer systems couldn't be run through here. Instead, waste was thrown from the windows after yelling out to passersby to watch out. Apparently the term shit-faced originated because of this - being drunk and getting hit by someone's flying waste! We took a short break and then visited the Grassmarket where we saw the gallows that hung Half-Hung Maggie Dickson; she was hung until dead and headed to the cemetery when she suddenly sat bolt upright in her coffin. She lived a further 40 years and since she had been declared legally dead she didn't need to pay taxes, and her marriage was annulled so she could marry the man of her affair. Our last stop was the Greyfriar's kirkyard, as we walked through James told us that the soil is so soft that tombstones are always falling, cracking and breaking, but slightly more chilling is the fact that bones often find their way to the surface. On one tour a participant found an entire jawbone! Luckily there is a place in the church to return any accidentally discovered bones so they can be re-buried. From the cemetery we could see the backside of the cafe where JK Rowling wrote her first three Harry Potter books. She sat at the window table and looked out over the kirkyard and the castle and that was some of her inspiration for Hogwarts. Following the Harry Potter theme we saw another of Rowling's inspirations - the grave of William McGonagall, a failed poet famous only for being so terrible. Our final stop on the tour was perhaps Scotland's most visited tombstone. James told us the last tale of John Gray who was an old man hired as the night watchman of the Greyfriar's kirkyard to prevent grave robbers digging up bodies in the night. He was lonely so he adopted a little dog called Bobby. John died after two years but Bobby lived to be 15 years old and guarded John's grave all those years, when he died he was buried just outside the cemetery because dogs cannot be buried on sacred grounds but a large tombstone was put up in the cemetery in memoriam and now tourists visit to leave sticks and balls and dog treats. After the tour I wandered around a few shops and up to the castle for a look. Later I was booked in for The Scottish Whiskey Experience which I'd been really looking forward to. It began with a barrel ride to explain the whiskey making process and then we all sat in front of a huge 180 degree screen to show each region of Scotland with crisp flyover footage and describe the type of whiskey they produce there. Each of us on the tour had our own scratch n sniff card so we can smell an aroma from each region to choose a taster for ourselves. The next room was a classic tasting room where we each took a dram of our chosen region - of course I couldn't resist a peaty Islay! The final room on the tour was a cased collection of 3384 bottles of whiskey - the largest collection in the world including centuries-old bottles which had almost evaporated in their bottles. I had signed up for the extended tasting so I had a tray of four more drams to taste then I wanted to try a Campbelltown whiskey as I'd never tried one from that region before, and then I also wanted to try a Ben Nevis because the flavours sounded like a delicious combination for me. Of course it was a lot of whiskey in one go and I ended the evening drunkenly stuffing my face at Five Guys (my favourite burger place and I'll eat with no shame!) and sending Snapchats to my friends. All in all a fantastically informative and enjoyable day in the beautiful city of Edinburgh!

Episode 2 - “Even though I won my minigame, our tribe still took an asspounding” - Dylan
As Owen & Julian returned to Cahaya, episode two begun, with a flash game wagering challenge. On the Obor beach, the “Charlie” alliance remained dominant over the tribe, while on Cahaya, alliances were more fluid, but with Isaac & Julian emerging as potential targets.
After a somewhat decisive Cahaya win in the challenge, Jess & Olivia were sent over to infiltrate the Obor tribal council (woo feminism?). After kick-starting the tribe’s first tribal call, Jess/Trent begun to fostering a relationship that would continue through to the endgame, and Rob emerged as a consensus for being the person people had spoken to least.
As tribal approached, Rob felt increasingly nervous, sensing his name was out there and targeted Kenny as an alternative vote. While he may have been unsuccessful in saving himself, he did manage to convince Dylan out of pity to throw his vote on Trent, causing a degree of paranoia over an already fractured Obor tribe.
At tribal itself, Rob was sent out 7-1-1, leaving the returnee infiltrators paranoid they were being framed, and the king of card pyramids out of the game.
FOXX
So I did not participate in the challenge at all since the last couple days have been relatively slow. I did maybe two things and was guilty af about it but we won! I love not having to worry about stuff like getting eliminated. I approached Stoner & Jess about making an alliance and we sealed the deal and Stoner dubbed it Snap, Crackle, Pop which is a very lame name but tbh I’m so glad to be in an alliance I’m ok being named after a freakish cereal-peddling breakfast gnome. Jess & Stoner definitely know what’s up in the game and are fucking hilarious but dealing with smart people means you can assume they’re thinking as  logically as you and thus it’s easier to appeal to their interests rather than dealing with more histrionic personalities. I also suggested we create a larger alliance roping in Olivia & Michael as they’re the most active. Michael’s a nice dude with similar interests and Olivia is super sweet and funny so I guess I’ll include them for selfish reasons. I’m just worried I’m overplaying at this point. Definitely think the less active people will be the first to go but I wanna keep winning  so I don’t have to worry as much. :’)
OLIVIA
FUCKING FLASHGAMES BARRY MANILOW IS MAD AT YOU
ROB
I’m just talking to everyone, setting myself up for the next few tribals. Everything seems to be going according to plan.
MICHAEL
When the hosts arent watching your confessionals *sad face* https://youtu.be/5VtSLMs86Zk
FOXX
Owen & Julian came back and said the other tribe is quiet as fuck and Julian straight-up said we were “messy” and “talk a lot” at their tribal. Not only is this dude not pulling his weight in challenges, being very insistent on how he should infiltrate the other tribe, he’s also talking crap about us in a public forum. Chill out dude, you’re making yourself a target. Regarding the challenge I kinda outsmarted it (outfoxxed it?) by saying we all play each of the games first and then decide based on such information who plays what and seeing how talented some people in are at some games and less so in others it seems to be paying off for us so far. Let’s hope I can continue to be friendly and helpful without making myself out to be too big of a personality. It’s not about how good I think I’m doing; it’s about how others think I’m doing and what they choose to do with that.
LEIGH
Awwwwright come on Casanova let's do this
The scores I have gotten so far in Casanova are 1300, 400, and 20,200. So I think I'm just gonna stop after 3 more attempts and hope 20,200 is good cuz i got homework to do lmao
Well fuck now I just got 47,600 so it looks like my 20k wasn't even that good
OLIVIA
Fuck flashgames and fuck anyone who likes them or anyone who has ever made a flashgame fuck flash games I fucking hate you flashgames DIE DIE DIE FUCK YOU FLASHGAMES. On a different note our tribe has really great communication and great support I really hope we win. But also fuckkkkkkkkk flashgames 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
FOXX
It worked! We won again and not only did I ace my portion with the highest wager but I also came up with the game plan that led to victory! God I'm so glad I'm not sucking! I kiiiiinda wanna go to Obor to create an impression and MAYBE get and advantage upon arriving but we'll see!
OLIVIA
IM AN INFILTRATOR BABY LEMME SPY ON YO ASS
FOXX
Really was considering putting up a fight for being part of the Infiltration because I really don’t wanna miss out but the last thing one needs at this point is bad publicity. My goal right now is to keep winning and try to form something of a majority alliance so I can avoid tribal council but also remain secure in the event we have to go. I’m glad if someone did go though it’s Olivia & Jess, two people I’ve built solid relationships with and hopefully they fan give us an idea on what’s on the other side. I’m really upset it took me this long to return to the prowl. I really do build up my self-esteem and suffering from anxiety and depression all my life makes me afraid to step out but I’m able to take center stage if I need to! Not having my anxiety meds for months has turned me into a mumbly, absent-minded, socially awkward mess but I think I’m managing surprisingly well. The other tribe might start feeling demoralized soon with losing back to back and the fact they’re already fairly inactive if Julian & Owen are to believed makes me a bit sad for them. But that sadness is quickly overtaken by pure...idk? Satisfaction that we’re winning so much. Let’s hope I don’t get too cocky and fuck it up...again. Foxes are cunning or something.
LEIGH
I got stomped in that challenge.  We lost hard though at least it wasnt just me.  Rob is gonna be the one to go cuz he talks the least. It makes me sad cuz we talked about music and stuff. I told him that I used to play French horn in middle school and people said it was a nerdy instrument, and he said it was a cool instrument. He seems like a really nice person. I wish he could stay.  But everyones gotta go sooner or later, myself included. And I think when we merge or swap, the other tribe is much more intense than this one. It might get zany up in here.
JESS
Alright so I actually made a video confessional for this round but I rambled and mumbled too much so you are all stuck reading a JK Rowling novel length confessional. So... within the first couple of days the words "Guyana" and "2nd place" have come up at least 15 times each. This is my legacy I guess. However, these people are making it something legendary when in reality I was slaughtered and left for dead. Stoner needs to be like Anna and LET IT GO. Honestly though, I don't really mind Stoner but I know he's charming his way across the tribe being buddy buddy with everyone. When you ask ANYONE on the returnee tribe who they like 9/10 will say "Stoner and Foxx". That to me POTENTIALLY translates to "Stoner and Foxx are making chats with everyone and trying to pull in a 3rd, 4th, or 5th". That or I need to punch myself in the face. It's anyones guess? Olivia approached me about forming a group of us two and Stoner and Foxx. I don't want that thumb print in this game. Am I against it? (yes)... I don't trust these three for shit. Am I going to refuse it? HELL NAW. I basically pushed the responsibility of forming this group onto Olivia so I don't have any responsibility for this group if it gets out. LITERALLY a couple hours after... OWEN approaches me with a proposal of a group consisting of myself, Owen, Olivia, Stoner, and Foxx. HMM. LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO I DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH IN THIS GAME... You see.. I really want to work with Michael. He ticks every box in a potential alliance mate in this game. However, if this gets out I'm fucked. I'm going to die. I also really wouldn't mind working with Matt B. He's an intellectual but he could potentially murder me. SPEAKING OF MURDER.... I have to murder someone on this Obor tribe. Why did I want to be an infiltrator? I'm a crackhead and boredom. I also wanted to keep to use this as an opportunity to bond with whoever I buddied up with from my tribe and use this as a way to get sassy details from the newbies. Speaking of these newbies.. Did y'all feel them crack? Talking to them was like talking to 4 kids on coke. They were all over the place!  We initiated the first tribe call and I think that was a pretty strategic move on my part. I kind of wanted to see dynamics and see how people meshed on call. Calls are kind of the hardest places to hide in my opinion.. HOWEVER, everyone just randomly left after a while so mission failed? I decided to use this as an opportunity to talk to Trent. Trent is someone who I know of through a friend. I've only heard nice things about him and that he's insanely loyal. HOWEVER...................... WOW................... He basically spilled his whole game in a heartbeat to me and I'm kind of shook. I'm still shooketh to the core currently. It's a LOT. He essentially confessed that he's incredibly social and incredibly good at competitions. He also went on to say that he believes he has a strong hold on these newbies. All of these are red flags for me because I strongly believe that we are TRYING to play the same game. I might have to start a #Trentexposedparty in the future? He also said he's good with Anabel and Kenny. So if this ever turns into a Vets .vs. Noobs situation... yikes. I think I'm good? I HOPE. I think keeping Trent in the loop for now is incredibly beneficial. I just pray he's not as open as he is with everyone else like he is with me. I'm going to try and keep him on a tight leash for now.. SPEAKING OF KILLING PEOPLE (I forgot to address this so #yolo) People want to murder Rob. I'm SO SO SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE........... I KNOW ROB. Rob is 1 of 2 newbies who I know. Rob also likes to MURDER ME in games. He's slimy, he plays both sides, and he is also a player who KNOWS my game. I can't have that going forward. I need a clean slate. I need people to focus on me flopping my first season and not my prior games which I ACTUALLY HAVE WON (surprising I know... I win thing sometimes). SO let's murder Rob? PLEASE. Who knew I actually would be taking out an ACTUAL TARGET THIS ROUND OF MINE? NOT ME. NOT ME.

IM AN INFILTRATOR BABY LEMME SPY ON YO ASS
OLIVIA
Being an infiltrator has been interesting. Really just miss my tribe tho :/ hope the feeling is mutual. Piss poor night irl and wish I’d not volunteered to go tbh. Whatever tho, we’ll go back to normal tomorrow and I’ll keep forgetting to search for the idol
LORELEI
Today's the day of the tribal. From what I've heard, there's a consensus on rob. But I like rob even tho we haven't talked much. He told me he wouldn't vote me out, I didn't know how to answer that so I said I wouldn't vote him out either. Voting ppl out sucks 😭. Now I cant vote rob because that would make me a liar, I'm thinking of voting myself but I know that would put a target on me and the others would know that it was I who voted myself. I don't know what to do. On a lighter note, there was a tribe call yesterday evening, and it was really fun! It was so nice to talk to everyone and hear their voices.
FOXX
I am almost positive the Idol has been found and that is...um, what’s the word? Bad. Frankly I don’t think having an Idol is a huge benefit besides information and peace of mind but the fact we might have an issue with it where we have to counter with split votes and stuff is going to be a headache. As much as I like my tribe and how similar are interests are winning a lot does sort of create this no-stakes game where you just small talk to the same people every 2-3 days. I’m gonna miss it when the game gets intense but rn I’m on edge. Though I’m always down to sling some dice and I made a half-joke that our tribe should play some D&D and hooooly shit would that be amazing if it happened
LORELEI
a part of me wishes that there was some drama / beef between players because that would make it much easier to vote people out. There's a consensus to vote rob and the reasoning behind that is that he hasn't talked much in the chat, nor has he talked much to players. To me, that's sort of an iffy to vote someone out but then again, if not Rob, then who? Voting Evan was a bit more obvious of a choice, even though it was as hard (for me at least), but I didn't even think of Rob as an option to vote out until someone in my alliance brought his name up. I'm in an alliance with trent, chris, anabel and leigh. Even though we're the majority, I have a feeling I'm in the bottom of my alliance so I don't want to rock the boat for now.
OWEN
round 2. Still bored af with my tribe but still absolutely popped off to help keep us safe :’))))) we snatched the challenge..... loves it. Getting back from the other tribe was scary bc I had literally no info to give. That tribe didn’t give me any dynamics. But I did find out that jess and foxx wanted to pull in chris olivia and someone else (michael maybe?) for a five person alliance. Like wtfffff!?!?!? Why would chris and jess not work to include me in a five with foxx? Fuck that. So I went to jess and acted like I didn’t know and I brought up the idea of a five person alliance to her of her me foxx chris and olivia lmao and told her I’d talk to foxx a lil more. Then I tried to talk to foxx but it didn’t go so well I just have a hard time thinking what to say to him..,, So honestly idk. The good thing is I feel okay socially with isaac and matt, Julian and chris have our group and I like olivia and jess. Foxx and michael are my only real disconnects and I have the feeling the others might go for Julian if we lose..... which would be sad but not the worst thing in the world. I’m not in control yet but just u wait xoxoxo
Watch me get third boot lmao
JULIAN
I kinda fucked up at last tribal and made a few comments about this tribe... I've been doing damage control this round and I think things are ok now???
ROB
I've told Dylan and Jess/Olivia to vote Kenny. I sure hope this works.
I do not wanna leave. I am terrified like no other. We bouta head to tribal. Wish me luck
TRENT
Another night another loss. My fantastic tribe lost another immunity challenge. I feel like this is going to be a trend. Everybody is sooo quiet. Jess and olivia came  over to our tribe after we loss and i bonded with them a little bit. Hopefully im making decent friends with the returnees, enough I can use that to keep me in if a swap happens. Hopefully since they haven't lost they are all itching to play the game and i can help spark that and get them to turn on themselves. Tonight's vote SHOULD be 8-1 for rob is everyone is being trust worthy. my alliance of 5 (me, anabel, leigh, chris, and lorelei) is still going strong. Not sure I 100% trust chris because I think he's being friendly with everyone. But luckily I am too. Pretty good relationship with with Dylan and pretty good with Kenny while he's a little quieter. Hopefully I'm in a decent spot after tonight. We will see
DYLAN
After taking an asshole pounding from the last round, it became obvious that I needed to make sure I was good with everyone on my tribe. This means telling 4 different people (Chris, Anabel,Rob and Kenny) I trust them the most. I like trent a lot but I can tell hes going to be a social and physical threat down the road compared to the other people on this rookies tribe. I was stuck on cubefield at 501k for a few hours then got a funny feeling that if I didnt score higher if lose my matchup and my intuitive ass was correct in predicting I would have lost by 1k points. Even though I won my minigame, our tribe still took an asspounding. Robs name was thrown out almost immediately by just about everyone, so I tried to hint that he may be the target but he didn't get it I guess. so the most difficult part of this round was figuring out what to tell rob for a vote. After an astonishing 15 fucking hours, he finally told me hed be down to do Kenny. Cool vote Kenny. I do feel bad though, so im going to throw my vote on trent as I feel he is least likely to be targeted on my tribe at the moment, and it could potentially spice things up!

following the first round, i feel like i was able to get in a decent spot where i wouldn’t be targeted first.  i feel like i’m pretty active, and i’m trying to do my best and conversation with people.  i think i wanna tru and solidify SOMETHING with someone because its these early alliances and bonds that tend to run deep into the game with.  However one thing i’m never good at is determining when to initiate game talk.  like i wanna ask about their thoughts on other people and who they think we could work with, but my fear is starting that talk and then being viewed as paranoid and a gamer.  And this early on i really don’t wanna have to deal with that.   i think this round i felt a lot more laid back and not as active conversation wise.  with classes starting up i need to be on my A-Game from here on out.  i think if we lose next challenge, i should be fine.  people have talked about how issac just doesn’t seem to be here and julian is often gone/is crazy.  so those should be two easy boots, but you can never be certain in this game.   the damn torches are confusing as heck and idk what correlation they have on the game.  the idol search is fun being an easy grid but not fun bc i can’t find anything or forget to search.
