⋞Day 4 - Galena Tribe⋟

Day Four, which day was this. Honestly every day is starting to merge together and I'm doing this a day late. I don't really know what exactly happened today... wait. We had tribal, uhhh, not really much else occurred today. We got sent to our trollies for 24 hours, so that wasn't exactly interesting. I mean like, I have a few things I can talk about, but nothing major has actually occurred that needs my immediate attention.

I'm trying to write enough in detail for whoever reads my confessionals, however I also don't want to drain myself out by typing too much for every single confs and also well.... today has been rather lacking in regards to what we are doing. So that in itself makes this harder to write things for. Of course I'll find things to write about even if I do end up going and like... talking about my personal life which I try to avoid but I fail to do so all the time lol.


⋞Tribal Council⋟

I feel like this was an interesting situation. Tribal council occurred, and the votes were placed how we had decided. The vote on me was by Dallas, who in which case wanted me out for what I had said. I also may or may not have lied to everyone else when I say I didn't say anything in regards directly like I did. I ended up saying I asked Dallas if he approached others, not that if he was going home it was because he was unapproachable. I'll just show what the conversation in DMs was lol.

Dallas
Kind of pissed
if I'm honest
Ripple
Why?
Dallas
because its very likely I go here
just because I don't fit in with everyone else
Ripple
It because you don’t seem as approachable honestly. If you are to go, that would be why
Dallas
No one really talks to me in dms that's my problem
it's just vc
Ripple
I mean. Have you approached anyone either?
Dallas
yes
a few times actually
Ripple
Huh
Haven’t approached me yet smh
Dallas
I mean you really just vc, it's awkward to dm people after I just vced with them

Now the part where Dallas says it is awkward to DM people are VC'ing with them... that's kinda stupid. It's not awkward at all. I DM a lot of people after I VC with them to say things I potentially couldn't mention in VC. Added onto that, I also DM people while I am VC'ing them, a double whamee. I personally don't get why Dallas didn't approach more people, everyone I spoke too about him said they barely DM'd with him, idk man, something is up with that.

Honestly though, the tribal got me thinking somewhat. I know TBird, Geoff and everyone else voted how we were going to vote... but apparently Harry was told by multiple people that TBird was throwing his name around. Now I personally don't believe TBird was saying it like he was meaning for everyone to turn on Harry, although I need to get Harry to clear it with TBird when he can. The issue is that if TBird truly was gunning for Harry, it makes absolutely no sense at this stage to try it, especially if they are in a majority alliance like he is. Of course I won't say I know exactly what TBird is thinking. If in fact TBird did want to try to go for Harry, then I want to know the reason why. I can't ask TBird myself as it seems weird if I do, however I know Harry will. What gets me is TBird didn't say anything to me, but everyone apart from TBird and Geoff mentioned it to Harry. This is making me think TBird and Geoff are in fact in a ToT together and plan to take Harry and I out, or try to at least.

However for the first tribal council so far this season, it was probably the best outcome we could get. Yeah I honestly don't like voting out anyone, even if Dallas wasn't exactly within our alliance, it sucks even more to be the reason someone was voted out as the first boot. I wasn't the only one who thought Dallas was the best vote, but I feel I was in a way, the one that initiated everything that led up to that point.


⋞Trust Ranking⋟

Alright into these rankings. I might not exactly change where everyone is, however I will write up why they are where they are at this point. Mainly due to someone being voted out and the things that led up to that point plus after it... new information given and more thought taken into what exactly I should be doing. My trust rankings is also going to merge with my opinions of everyone else as well.

1. Harry - Every ranking is probably going to have Harry on the top. He's my closest ally, and we talk to each other about everything. Of course it is expected that as a fellow trolly of trust member, we need to be informed of everything happening around us. As I have already mentioned in a different trust ranking, Harry would be an ally regardless of ToT or not. We just seem to be able to talk and communicate together with ease. While we are of course at some point going to be going against each other if we make it past merge, I know that up until that point, we will remain tight. Of course we can't be too tight and be seen as a potentially threat...

2. Xavi - Xavi solidified his position as second on my trust rankings for admitting to us that he was a solo within our tribe. While Harry and I had guessed this, it was better to hear it from his own ears. This just shows that Xavi trusts us a lot to tell us, it also means he wants to actually work with us. This helps us in figuring out what everyone else is like, as well as the fact that well...it confirms for us another ToT leaving two uncertain groups left. Xavi from day one has been someone I've talked to almost immediately, we have VC'd on a few accounts, and I get along with him really well. Honestly probably the same like Harry, and if our time zones matched up more, I reckon we could be tight as fuck.

3. Patrick - I'm honestly unsure fully on how I feel about Patrick at the moment. I believe if I can talk to him about his trolly of trust and get him to hopefully confirm if he is solo, it would benefit everyone. This would allow me to work out the final trolly within our tribe, while also having Patrick much closer to me as I would be able to trust him a lot more. I of course won't pressure him into telling me if he doesn't want to, however I feel it would be good if he can. Pat was one of the guys I clicked with instantly. I like his personality and I definitely want to work with him a lot more.

4/5. Geoff/TBird - Again these two are placed in the same position. I don't know what to think of either of them right now until I get more information so it is safer to bargain putting them together in the same ranking over anything else. Neither have done enough to drop below Drew, however TBird is tethered to the very edge, one slip and he will be plummeting the complete fall to the bottom. As for Geoff, I have nothing against him right now unless he is in fact in a ToT with TBird, which makes me need to reconsider things.

6. Drew - Drew is second to last, aka sixth, as I don't know exactly what Jaremi has told him. This makes me essentially wary of what I can say in front of him, what he knows and what he thinks. I don't want to put him higher on my trust rankings as I don't exactly trust him. If I clear things up and actually find TBird tryna take out Harry, then he for sure will be going much higher on this trust rankings list. Of course I like talking to Drew. He is friendly like everyone else on the tribe lol, however the situations have put us on opposite sides honestly. We could potentially work together, or potentially not.

7. Jaremi - Jaremi has moved down to the bottom of my trust rankings mainly due to the fact I know of his trolly of trust, he knows of me and Harry and I have absolutely no clue what he could do with that info to cripple us. Of course it's good for me to know who is trolly member is, however the fact he knows Harry and I are together is gonna be tough. Added onto that, this wasn't the only reason he was so low, I rarely talk to Jaremi much. I don't approach him, he doesn't approach me. I had a good conversation with him like the first day, however nothing much else since then apart from the various voice chats I've done that he has joined in on at some point.


⋞Trolly of Trust⋟

Okay so this trolly of trust has been modified from the last time it was done. There aren't a lot of changes, however I have decided to swap Geoff with Patrick. From I think Day Two, I believed Geoff and Patrick weren't in a trolly together, so I put them on separate ones with TBird matched up with Patrick. However looking at it now, I have changed Pat with Geoff due to well... potential info that could be the deciding factor as to who is with who.

If Patrick is willing to confirm he is a solo, then that confirms everyone in the tribe as to who is with who. That's great for us and all that is left is working out who is paired up with who from the other tribe. I want to gain as much info as possible before a potential swap that could completely cripple us and this whole list for trollies.

Trolly ?: (3)
- Dallas (Confirmed - Eliminated)
- Drew (Confirmed)
- Jaremi (Confirmed)

Trolly ?: (2)
- Geoff (Unknown)
- TBird (Unknown)

Trolly 5: (2)
- Harry (Confirmed)
- Ripple (Confirmed)

Trolly ?: (1)
- Patrick (Unknown)

Trolly ?: (1)
- Xavi (Confirmed)

As mentioned, everything is subject to change if required. I won't confirm anything else unless I get more information to decide where everyone is. Of course I could be completely wrong and that is a risk I have to take if I want to work out these ToT's, whatever the case, it will give me an idea of who could potentially be put with the other.


⋞Alliances⋟

The alliances have honestly remained relatively the same. I know our small two way alliance, Harry and I, will definitely remain firm for the time being. It is expected. Moving on, the Hedgemehog Squad alliance consisting of Harry, Xavi and I, has definitely seen the light. With the additional info that Xavi is in fact solo, there is a lot more trust between us. We have talked a lot about things and Harry and I are able to use this to our advantage. The Scoobert-doo alliance added in Patrick could possibly be much tighter. If Patrick is actually a solo, it will consist of two solos and a double ToT.

The recent additions to the alliance chats is the Greedy 6, add TBird and Geoff to the given Scoobert-doo alliance. These guys are both good additionals. however we are on a thin line right now. I'm not sure how much I trust TBird at the moment until things get cleared up between himself and Harry. If TBird and Geoff are a ToT and try to go for Harry, and if they also manage to recruit Drew and Jaremi onboard, then that gives us ample opportunity to come to a 4 way split vote, this being TBird, Geoff, Jaremi and Drew against Harry, Patrick, Xavi and myself. Whatever the case, I hope we can clear everything up and see what is truly happening now.


⋞Future Plans⋟

I really don't have many future plans at this stage. I'm still trying to navigate everything that has happened so far, and this will definitely be updated eventually in future confs. I want to try to figure out the rest of the ToT's, as well as work out what I want to do moving forward with this alliance. If we are in fact a split tribe, I want to decide who is where and not just be shuffled around because people want me to be somewhere I don't want to be working with people I don't want to work with. I want to dictate what I do this season.
