Well, I never said I wasn't a selfish player. I am conveniently pretending not to know anything about the giving Julia and Velian gold. They can have it when they ask. I'm not winning these coins so I'm keeping my shit.

Velian and I called again today, and it was good. He really trusts me and spilled pretty much everything to me which is all I really needed.
Julia and him are close (expected). Nolita and Zach are super social (expected). Zach and JB3 are a pair (new information but not unexpected).
The only person he is close to who I am not close to is Romeo, so this is a good little crew forming with Bri, Jas, and Venus on the outs.
I'm going to send a round of good mornings tomorrow, call with Julia, maybe call with Zach, and just in general up my social game.

Just got off call with Romeo. Velian I feel like spilled everything to me whereas Romeo was much more strategic with a give-and-take, I feel like he's REALLY good at getting info out of ME.
He trusts Nolita (no surprise there, like I said I think she's such a good conversationalist that everyone loves her). He also trusts Velian (no surprise, he's playing his ass off) and he mentioned liking Jas (which is good!! i like her) and Bri.
I think there are sides forming and that Romeo seems right in the middle of it. I'm gonna try and bond more with Jas, Bri, and Venus as the three I've talked to the least (I feel like me and Jas and me and Bri both made good progress today). A little worried about my connection with Venus bc I feel like we keep reaching out to each other but it isn't really going anywhere. On the surface we have a lot in common, shared interests etc. so maybe I need to hop on call with her as well.

That core alliance of four (Nolita, Velian, Romeo) will definitely serve me at least until a swap. Romeo is definitely hunting for the idol though and he knows I am too. I guess that isn't awful. The good thing with Nolita is I know she's by far the best social player rn (Julia also seems good but inactive) but I think she's had some trouble with the forum and stuff so I don't expect her to pull anything huge out of her sleeve.

I will do a very long video entry later but just noting -- Velian gave me the entire password to the X marks thing without realizing it, and so he has become exponentially less useful to me. Sorry! Love you <3

If I could, I would clarify some things I said via editing but I am not that handy. I want to say esp. since our confessionals are public after the season, I don't pretend to know anyone's specific background, nor am I at all accusing anyone of anything.
I just know what it's like as a POC to play these games and feel like you have less in common with people so I am wary of everyone saying the people they are connecting with certain people over others. Just sharing my thoughts so that if I end up alerting Jas about her "inactivity", it won't seem to come out of nowhere!!

Beyond my complicated thoughts on that bit, I also don't know that I want to continue picking off the inactives on our tribe because everyone just seems SO DAMN GOOD AT THIS GAME!! Some of the people I'm closer with have to go eventually even if I can't figure out who.

Rachel knows Zach I forgot to mention that in my video confessional.
And Zach told me a lot about the Skype community and how many of those people are in here. Earlier today... Julia was telling me she doesn't know many people BECAUSE she's from Skype. Huh

I'm really glad we won so I get more time to decide what to do. Hopefully they get active and I don't have to worry about this anymore, because I just want to play the game!!

Possibly a swap tonight. So I've decided not to let Velian in on the password, if he hasn't figured it out himself yet, I'm not gonna give it to him just so we have a few hours to work together before potentially being swapped. Not really a point in that lol, we probably wouldn't be able to get it and then he'd get it on his own way before me.

The A in "lai" is different, it has the little thing up top, so now I'm gonna search around for that in previous seasons.
Also, laying low today - played too hard socially yesterday, and if there is a swap, that'll carry me through. Really just gonna respond if I'm reached out to.
