CONFESSIONAL #2

[Yul Kwon]

"YUL'S PAWNS" 

Hello YULEONS!

WTF is a Yuleon you ask? It's simply someone that is supporting me, cheering me on and hoping I overcome all that is evil here in Cyprus and withstand all the emotion, drama and struggles to be the last man standing and the SOLE SURVIVOR.



Ok Yuleons, time for another one of these bad boy confessionals!



This confessional will be a bit long as it will contain a cast assessment and other ongoings in the first 2 days thus far. Let's start with my tribe whom I've so rightfully named TEAM SAUSAGE.

Bob Dawg and I have spoken since the very beginning, he was the first person I really got into a conversation with lasting more then 30 seconds. We hit it off pretty well and found out we had alot of things in common. I truly feel like I can trust him, well as much as you can trust any one person in this game. We've decided to work together and watch each others back. I feel very comfortable with him but time will tell how much I can trust him.
This can be a very useful and beneficial PAWN  for me.

I haven't really spoken much with Ethan, he seems like a okay guy but truthfully AFTER Jim is voted out he would be my next target, there are a few reasons for this. I like having many options and avenues to turn to however on the other hand I want all my fellow castaways to have one sole outlet to go to....YUL....and that's all. Bob Dawg has mentioned a few times he likes Ethan, could they have some sort of pre-game? Who knows, but the fact they have some sort of relationship whether now or from the past concerns me. I am not looking to be the #2 in anyone's game. Secondly Ethan is the person whom I've spent the least amount of time talking to or getting to know on TEAM SAUSAGE outside of Jim obviously. He would definetely be huge on my radar next round if we were to go to TC.
Going to be a sacrificial  to me.

Me and JR actually had some good conversations, I don't have a 100% great feeling about him YET though. My goal with him is to continue talking to him alot, build his trust and at the very least use him for information. If I could possibly gain some trust in him I wouldn't mind aligning with him. Also his challenge performances will play a huge key in deciding that as well. Someone I will be keeping a eye on.
A potential good 

Silas is a pretty cool guy, I haven't spoken to him as much as Bob Dawg but he's very easy to talk to. I don't feel like he's pressing for information and can definetely be one I can work with as long as he remains active and is decent in competitions. In a perfect world, myself..Silas...Bob Dawg and to a lesser extent Jean Robert would form a 4 man alliance and wreck shit...however I have stumbled upon something else....
Possibly a strong  for my play.

MEET THE CUNNILINGUISTS 

Coming into this game I said to myself I don't want to get into millions of alliances I want to solidify one team and maybe build some one on one relationships here and there however into the first few minutes of talking with Cliff and Spencer..Cliff came up with the idea of us working together, THE CUNNILINGUISTS, I could see where he was coming from, we were the only 3 online at the time. Truthfully I don't like Cliff, he tries to be funny and trust me I have a gigantic sense of humor and probably not one serious bone in my body, but he is more the OBNOXIOUS TRYING TO BE WAY TO FUNNY BUT FAILING type of person. He makes racist jokes, not that it offends me but it's a fail all the time. I agreed to this 3 person alliance because I'm not going to just say NO obviously. It's going to get aggravating really quickly. I mean its like
...

Cliff makes a joke....FAIL! 

Cliff makes another joke...FAIL AGAIN!! 

Cliff makes a joke yet again...EPIC FAIL!!! 

Moving right along Spencer seems like a okay guy but the fact that Cliff is beyond obnoxious I think is making Spencer become like that as well. He isn't quite annoying but I think he's gonna eventually get there just to "fit in" at least that's the idea I get.



By no means am I going to stay 100% loyal to this alliance. I will roll with it as far as I have to and see how it goes, of course if these guys change up for the better it will change my perception on them. For now though its not something I see as long term. Cliff technically made this alliance and for all I know I could be #3, yeah..not happening. Also very important to note...Bob Dawg recognizes Cliff and his troll antics from another game and doesn't like him. I am going to use this piece of information for a rainy day and play that card if and when I have to.

That leaves Yul, what can you say except once again...he's a MUHFUGGIN BAD ASS BOSS! 

ON TO TEAM VAG 

UGH, My suga mama Julie. I only spoke to her for the first time late last night and we spoke for a few minutes. She seems nice unfortunately it's been confirmed by many girls she's getting the vote. I would tell her or even try and sway toward someone else but two main reasons why I WON'T do that. #1 It's too early to stick my neck out for someone I barely know let alone whose hardly been online which is why she's getting the votes #2 more importantly I am 99% confident that the person getting voted is not going to go home. I am pretty positive they'll be receiving some sort of reward, immunity, captaincy or go to Redemption Island, for this reason is why I am not telling Julie nor am I trying to rock the boat. IF I felt she really was in danger of completely leaving the game I might've maybe hinted to her...MAYBE. I hope once she sees she was the vote she straightens up and starts playing the game better, me and my idol depend on it!
 

RC seems like a good girl. We spoke for a little while last night and had good conversation. Some game talk, some real life talk. I would say a good balance and convo wasn't awkward at all which is a key element for me. If you're going to be working with someone you are probably going to be talking to that person a lot therefore I would prefer it not be someone who will put me to sleep or annoy the shit out of me. I will be looking more into her as a possible side alliance later on down the road.
Could be a important  for me.

I've grouped Mary, Marissa and Kass together because my relationship with all three have been similiar. I talked to them each a little bit, don't really get any good or bad vibes from them. I need to talk to them more to see where there head is at and see how vaulable of a pawn they'll be for me.
Useless s  for now.

Jefra is really fun. She's from Netherlands and I believe I know who she is from another game. I do know that if it is that person she can be very loyal so I will be trying to get in her good graces every chance I get. Her english isn't the greatest so it's kind of funny when I talk to her I find myself making spelling and grammar mistakes, sometimes on purpose to make her understand a little better. I am hoping that she likes me and will be loyal to me. I need all the and shield I can get

Gillian is a nice woman. I've spoken to her several times but the conversations haven't been free flowing. They haven't been awkward either but just we say a few works then silence, say a few more words then some more silence. I really don't like that and I am definetely not going to push conversation that much, why should I have to do it? I'll see where it goes. She is from NY and she says she really likes me. Taj also informed me that Gillian likes me. I live in Florida HOWEVER for this game I've told people I live in NYC, I am originally from there and lived there for 16+ years of my life so if anyone tries to talk to me about it I am well aware of the city. One thing I must keep a eye on...from the very beginning Taj has said she likes Gillian and trusts her. All 3 of us are from NY and I guess that's the NY bond however I am keeping a close eye because just like with Bob Dawg and Ethan I don't want anyone having different outlets and avenues to run to. My thoughts on Gillian are still up in the air, we'll see where our convos go and take it from there.
Potentially good  for me.

My main ally on TEAM VAG is definetely Taj. She is a nice person and easy to talk with. She is also one of the first people after Bob Dawg I've spoken with in the game. She trusts me and has said so and I believe it. It's for this reason that I need to keep a eye on her and Gillian's relationship. Taj has already told me I am her #1 and even shared some information with me. She told me Jim is her golden bond, it could be a lie but I doubt someone would stupidly out that in the open this early if it were a lie especially since we don't know where or what is going to happen to the "booted" person. I feel like I can definetely trust Taj and she is someone I am going to work with in the game and as long as she keeps giving me information I will keep it to myself and use it to benefit me.

I did express my concerns about Gillian last night, I told her Gillian was really nice but our convos wasn't too great etc. I did this as a sort of reaction test. I wanted to see if she'd go all out nuts and vouch for Gillian, get pissed off or just react as a normal person would. She told me Gillian is nice and shares info with her and has given no reason to not trust her but we have to be wary of everyone but at the same time her and I alone can't do it all and we'll need help as well. THIS, for me at least, was a great answer, she wasn't pushing Gillian too hard and basically answered how I hoped. Of course it could all be a plot that will fuck me over eventually, but for now I'll not think about that. I'd like to go far with Taj in this game.
Beneficial  for me.






I want to also add a few things. Initially coming into the game I figured I would possibly have a 4 or 5 person alliance with people in my tribe and mostly ride that close to the end obviously making any neccessary changes along the way if need be. However after I realized we've been split into gender and, the key thing, we are allowed to cross tribe communicate I jumped on that. Right now I want to build GREAT relationships with as many females as possible. The reason being is because eventually a swap is going to come, it's certain, then I will need those females for votes and/or protection and moving forward also after merge. If I can build relationships now when I need them later it won't seem like its out of desperation or because I have no choice it'll be because we've had a long running relationship.



Of course I can't align myself with everyone in the game but I will keep people on a tier system. For right now my tier 1 includes Bob-Dawg/Taj...Tier 2 includes Cliff/Spencer/Gillian/Silas FOR NOW. We'll see where it goes and I'll make modifications if neccessary.



Regarding the golden bond thing, I am not going to stress over it too much. I mean there are about 20 different scenarios that can play out not to mention we don't know another element of the game, is there a redemption island or no? I will have a better insight after tonight once I see more dynamics of the game open up.



I plan to show some strength in these tribal challenges, enough to ensure wins but not enough to make myself a target but far and foremost my biggest element will be my social game. AS PHILLIP/TED knows when he reads this I haven't been the most social guy in the past..I am that GUY who will say "fuck off I am not working with you" to your face...I am that GUY who will tell you straight up "this is my alliance and we are coming after you and all your people". ALL that has changed for me since my last ORG. I developed my social game really good last ORG and will continue to thrive on that this game while mixing in strength and of course the ever so important strategic part of this game.

I know this was quite long and I apologize but I wanted you to see my thoughts on the entire cast as well as the ongoings around camp thus far from my point of view. Thanks for taking the time to read through all this shit and I promise my other confessionals won't be anywhere as long!





That about wraps up confessional #2 my Yuleons!  At the end of the day this is a game of chess. Everyone here is my PAWN...now its up to figure out exactly where to place them and how to manipulate them but rest assured at the end of all this when the dust settles and the smoke clears I will be the one to say CHECKMATE BITCH!
