Welcome to New Guinea

[Colby Donaldson]

Hello,

My name is Colby Donaldson and I plan on winning this ORG.

In all honesty, though, I don't see myself doing very well. Maybe it's because of lack of practice. Maybe it's because my previous first outing at ORGs went so smoothly.

I can't exactly say I'm excited to be back. I'm anxious and nervous. I don't want to fail right away and in this game I very well may. Survivor is all about the social aspect. Hopefully there are inactives at first which stand out. As long as I'm not one of the first 2 boots I think I'll be good.

I made my AIM name and added it. If i fail then I failed. I'm not going to play true alias. I mean, i'm not going to go out of my way to make things up. I'm just going to assume people will assume i won't play and leave it at that. I've had to lie once so far but hopefully that will be it.

I want to play with a clean slate. Even if i know a person it won't count towards them or against them. Everyone is capable of sabotage and backstabbing so just because someone is who they are doesn't mean shit. I'm going to play it by what i perceive in the game and go from there.

Here's hoping for a kickass season. I wish everyone else luck and hope this game is fun. I want to win it but more importantly i want to enjoy it.

Goodluck with this game KC. If i end up being inactive and sucking then I am sorry. I want to do well and I'm happy you have given me the opportunity to let your game be where I test the waters. I'd promise you I'll do you proud but in all honesty I don't know what's going to happen. I've been out of practice for a really long time so we'll see.

So yes, now we silence my confessional posts until the game actually starts (be that when you start the game or when people start randomly IMing me and i feel the need to post).

Hi.

I found a picture of Colby with Shandi. Shandi is hot. I miss her on playmania on GSN. *sigh*

Her memory will live on in my avatar!

and yes, that was enough to break confessional silence

[Colby Donaldson]

I don't think i need confessional silence. The way confessionals are setup means people can't view how many posts others have made and post count doesn't go up so I can spam the hell out of this place for no reason whatsoever!

I'm bored, lol. I still haven't figured out how I want to do this. I installed trillian and created a colby SN. I didn't know how to add people on it so eventually signed on AIM with it then that forwarded the info to trillian, lol. I don't know how often i'll be able to get Colby on. I figure I can have my phone's AIM be linked to the colby SN to give him more online time (though it means I'll have to chat when i'm not at the computer which is lame, lol).

We'll see what ends up happening! If i hadn't had such a horrible first ORG experience I probably wouldn't be as anxious as I am now. I lied when i said i wasn't excited. I am excited to play just not excited at the risk of sucking hard when in all honestly I only ever really sucked hard at 1 org (my first) and after that did at least decent always, lol.

PS. I don't know why i was so compelled to have Shandi in my avatar. I'll probably change it eventually. My avatar just makes me smile. I coulda done Colby on the island in the game but that's boring so stfu! lol. I'll probably find some animations at survivorsucks for my signature if i ever decide to make one

[Colby Donaldson]

hmm, maybe i don't want to be alias at all. I said before i wouldn't specifically try and be alias but clearly i lied and have taken steps to protect identity. I can probably just sign on stuff at the same time and only a select few people will probably go out of their way to out who I am. If they discover it I'll just deny it... and if they persist than I'll let them know I am me. My goal is to play without letting other games factor into this one so them knowing me and me knowing them won't change how i play. Unless i specifically talk game talk with them I won't be aligned with them. It's not like after this game I can keep being alias unless i do that everygame i play and that's retarded so yeah.

Basically, I'm not going alias but i'm not outting myself either. YAY less effort (on the alias front). I still won't care who anyone says they are or even if they know who I am. That'll take away from the fun.

I think i'm done posting for today!

Spoke to Natalie, Ben, Jessica, Neleh, and Stephenie on trillian. It was fun. I prefer AIM so i think i'm going to use AIM to speak with the survivor people.

I definitely <3 Natalie and Neleh. Super easy to talk to. Jessica is also really cool to talk to but that conversation kind of died and that makes me a tad worried since she had just told me how she hates kenny cuz her conversation with him died, lol. Ours wasn't completely dead though and i signed off before it got that way (i think).

Ben is more direct. He's someone i'm afraid of a bit. That means i have to make myself more available to talk to him and give him the perception at votes that i'll do what he wants. I'll have to play that way with him at least until I feel more confident in what I'm doing and can pull the control away (assuming he doesn't make everyone target me). I'm not going to lie. Stephenie is sweet but short with words. She's someone i could work with but would expect to eventually betray me as the game went on (unless her talking picks up).

So far it seems like it'll be active. i had to sign off cuz the conversations were becoming more and more and i didn't want to overburden myself. Hopefully the tribes will control that a bit more as the active people will be spread out.

i REALLY like going into the game not really going in knowing anyone or having a prealliance of any sort. It feels fresh. It feels nice to be able to just chat and get to know new people. Jessica admitted to having played a URTV before but i didn't want to pry cuz i didn't care to figure out who she was. I'm just excited that she shares the belief that ORGs are about enjoying the social aspect as well.

Hopefully i didn't screw myself over by getting offline early. I spoke enough to people to at least let them know i'm not antisocial and then i will get on tonight to continue that.

Now we just wait for the game to start.

I'm bored. Feel free to write in my confessional if you get bored .

If i survive the first vote I'll most likely make a new thread with a better title for my confessional posts and this can become my pregame/PW thread . So yeah, get crackin'

*reached his 3 smilies for this post quota*

YAY
