well the above was in my rough drafts and idk what it meant. I'm going to focus on writing my confessional for now, as well as trying to stabilize relationships.

Also, normally I proofread what I read, but that just results in about 30 more minutes so I'm just gonna hit submit and if there are any run on sentences or things that I missed, tough shit, that's Later Richard's problem to deal with.

You did it!!

These letters are going to drive people insane. Fucking Glyn was burning me at the stake for "not taking it seriously" or some shit last night. Lol, it was after the comp and I was already wanting to settle down for the evening. Hell, it still isn't solved from what I can tell from others. "The code is _" or "The duo is _" are the ones I'm seeing a lot. Anyway, let's answer this damm question.

From the other side? Let's talk the other side. They're more fragmented than our group that's for sure. More personalities over there. Still, even though they're fragmented, I don't think there are clear sides or groups.

Aisleyne: She's from North York? Damm, sorry Kara and Liz, there's someone even closer to me than either of you. If me and Aisleyne hit it off further, that'd be an awesome IRL bud. She doesn't appear to be as active as others though, so who knows what our game relationship will look like.
Chelsia: She won HOH. Before that, we bonded a lot over video games, so hopefully I'm nowhere near a target or a pawn for her. I think I'm safe with her, but I never want to feel 100% safe, so I'm going to continue talking a lot. Maybe she's someone from the other group I can work with, but she's pretty reserved. Even though the noms are obvious, she still doesn't outright tell people (Glyn) who they are. People who are that reserved aren't generally the best.
Grace: At first, I thought she was hilarious in her attitude against Susie, and was lowkey hoping for a Grace HOH because of it. However, she just seems like a miserable nasty bitch now. It's like that onion ring story I told on the server recently. That initial shock of the onion ring not, in fact, being a french fry, and that disgusting taste I felt out of shock, that's what Grace is. However, she is an outcast of Group B, and if she makes it this week, maybe I could pull her as an ally. Don't think I could make a group with her, but as someone who is comfortable with me, it could maybe lead somewhere, who knows.
Jen: She's a vet surgeon which is cool, but other than that, I don't know much. There always seems to be one ORGer who has a huge disadvantage due to their sleep schedule or time zone, and this time it seems it is Jen. Sucks because I get a good vibe from her, but I've spoken to her the least among the other group.
Natalie: So glad she made a milk joke already, that'll never get old. Anyway, she is odd? She seems super extroverted in public, and she's active enough on the forum or at least she used to be, but in our IMs, she seems so... boring. Maybe it's a way to hide herself, but it's weird. Seems like a totally different person almost. Not sure what her angle is. I hope that her and Parker aren't as close as I thought they were, because Parker is...
Parker: Someone I really like! Parker might be among my favourite of the other group. He studies biology, I study history, and we both appreciate each other's discipline. He also seems to be open to talk game, so maybe we can even work something out as game allies. However, the biggest obstacle here is that I'm still uncertain of who he's good with from his original group, and all it takes is for me to say the wrong name to him to blow things up. I have a bit more work to do before I want to call him one of my close allies.
Pete: I literally just found out while typing this up that he's from outside Philly, so of course it makes sense why he and Glyn seem close, because Glyn is telling me that he really likes Pete, but Pete is one of the more inactive people from what I can tell? He and Jen are the two I talk to the least, and the margin is not even close. The only reason I'm giving Pete a chance is because Glyn seems close with him so I'm trying my best to get on his good side. I don't think I'll work with Pete but I'll just use Glyn to work Pete.
Shahbaz: Dude is insane. Wanting to know if I'm gay, and then it feels like he's trying to get the LGBT vote from me? Lmfao what. That isn't how it works. Also, I was told he tried to form a "get all of Group A out" deal, so uh, no we're not doing that. He's at the bottom of everyone's list, so he is at mine too. Unlike Grace, I don't see any potential in working with him.
Spiral: He seems a bit more active than Pete or Jen, but there still is a lot to learn about him. Unlike those two, I feel kind of good when talking to him, so maybe I can use him later down the line. He's definitely pawn potential.
Susie: State of Susie! She kind of seemed to hide nervousness with Grace in our IMs. Grace was going all out about her, whereas Susie had a "whatever" attitude that seemed like she might be nervous. That was before HOH though, and now that Chelsia got it, I'm sure she's breathing better. If Grace lives this round and wins HOH though, Susie is going to be in trouble.

It will impact things going forward, since I think the current meta of the house deals with whatever shit went down on Group B. Group A was more relaxed, and so I think we'll see more of Group B nominated and evicted first. Again, they're more fragmented, so I think people will be able to be pulled into some Group A alliances or duos. If only we got some better intel. I really hope this doesn't devolve into a group A vs B thing, since most of my original group seems chill and cool, but the other side seems a bit guarded? I think after noms and maybe veto it will become more clear. Again, Parker seems like the closest from the other side who I'd work with, so who knows, maybe if he is part of a larger group, I could flip and join them. In all the games I played, I've been very loyal and not one to really flip. Maybe this could be the game where I test that out... although not this early.

2. In a surprise turn of events, we have lost both Renny and Ryan, while Spiral and Shahbaz were spared. How do you feel about losing Renny and Ryan? How do you feel unexpectedly having both Spiral and Shabaz around will change the game?

Well, Spiral was more a pawn, and Spiral on the block means that Susie has another potential enemy, although nowhere near as bad as Grace and Shahbaz. Losing the inactives is expected but still bad since we lost easy noms, although Shah and Grace are also easy noms who will fight, so at the very least, it will be much more interesting now. Hopefully this woke Spiral up and he will be more active now however.

3. Big Brother is a social game, who do you find yourself closest to? Who don't you trust? Who do you want to get to know more? We love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the houseguests, please tell us everything!

Glyn is my #1 by far, we're in two alliances together, and we share a lot of info with each other. There are still moments where I doubt him though. Like... unlike most other games where I at least have some info to give, Glyn seems to be giving our IMs 95% of info, and the things I have to offer are things he already knew about, or things that barely scratch the surface. Maybe James was right after all about Glyn being more friendly than I thought. James brought up an interesting point to me, that we hide behind Glyn. Ultimately I don't want Glyn to go, especially since he's my main source of information. But hiding behind him, that's interesting to use. I'm game. One thing that makes me a bit iffy with Glyn is that we keep saying we're our number ones, but we never formalized it, you know? Not to mention the fact that Glyn and Amanda don't use the chat makes me a bit cautious, since it was meant to share info so we don't have to tell each other shit, yet they still choose to only do 1 on 1 stuff. Maybe they just can't work the forum, haha. "Bubble Tea" is going to be my main alliance as of this moment, but I'm still looking around.

Me and Adam are basically BB12 Brittney and Kathy. He doesn't need to make an enemy but he's making one real fast. Sure, he's no threat because nobody takes him seriously and I've heard it from several people, but making an alliance with everyone from our old group except me is not a good look for him, and it sure as hell ticks me off. If I ever get HOH, he's definitely someone I would like to see the fuck out. Sheila shocked me since she was the first to tell me about that, even before Glyn, who took longer to tell me. This tells me that Sheila really trusts me, and I thank her for it. This moves her WAY up in my books, and she went from the bottom of my group to middle-top. I wonder if I could even work with her, I trust her pretty well now. Anyways, #fuckadam is my title now.

That leaves just Sezer and Jennie. I think those two might be a little on the outs, which is a shame since I love them both. Maybe a possible underdog alliance? Haha. I've said it in all my confessionals, but I just wish Sezer was more active, especially if he truly is alone in lockdown like he says he is. Jennie I think might be down to work with in the game, I just have to see where her head is at more. It's mostly small talk only still.

So, in terms of game? I trust Glyn the most, then Amanda, then maybe James and Sheila? Sezer and Jennie haven't done much to have me earn their trust, and Adam I'm never fucking trusting, I never have even from day 1, and now even more now that he made that alliance. I find it funny how apparently it's because we spoke the least, for why I'm not in the big Group A alliance, but Adam is one of THE LEAST ACTIVE FUCKING PEOPLE HERE AND HE DARES TO SAY THAT? GO SNORT SOME COKE UP YOUR REAR END CUNT AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF FLACCID DISAPPOINTMENT!

I'm not calling out Adam right away because that's not my style when I'm in a safe spot, I'll only do it when I'm in a position of vulnerability and I'm likely to be targeted anyway, or if i'm in a position of power and can get him out. But the thing is, I'm not sure if I want him out in the next couple rounds either. Think of Group A only. Once Adam leaves, I think that does leave me exposed as someone they could try and target next. And the last thing I need is to be nominated because I'm from the former Group A and the "easiest nom" from there, although I think there are better options from my group, but anyway. If he also is targeted by someone else, then I'll take it too. I'll go with the flow.

To answer this question with anyone from Group A, go to the first question.

However for ALL houseguests, one thing I don't like about this cast is that I seem to have to double message a lot of them, which in general is annoying as FUCK, and fuck anyone who makes you do that IRL, but secondly, in-game it shows they don't exactly care about you, which is a concern. That, or they are simply choosing to wait to reply to me only when I'm online, which is pretty stupid to do. Just message us anytime you puke turd. Especially when some people like Jen have an entirely different schedule, poor her no wonder she seems on the bottom.

4. We have spies, we have love, and we have liars in the house, who do you find most threatening to you and why?

Liars in this house? HOW ABOUT SOME WHORES IN THIS HOUSE! I'm a slutty freak, and we got the tit squeeze queen of johnson county over here with Natalie, and James got a bit flirty too, but he's straight so it's just him having fun. Sorry y'all, I'm not sure if I can find Alison 2.0 here. I know you wanted those dirty IMs so bad, and I'm trying my best to deliver.

Spies, well Glyn thinks that it is Grace or Shah, which makes sense from a lurker POV. I don't know if there is a way to tell for sure. The fact that James hounded me and Glyn if we were spies kind of sucks, because now if I'm ever the spy, I feel like I HAVE to tell James just cuz he told me, and I don't trust him fully to keep his mouth shut. At the same time, if I lie to James and say I'm not the spy, only for him to find out from someone else I am in fact the spy, that's gonna make him not trust me. So good thing right now I'm not the spy. Would still enjoy it eventually to fuck someone/something over.

Love, yeah some people are still figuring out who the engaged couple is, and I'm already over that storyline. Some people are speculating on who it is, but the fact that the main reason people are pairing others up because of their close age is silly.

I just thought; it's funny that the engaged couple is on this season, where BB9 reps are used, which used the romance theme. No idea if that was intentional or not but that's cool. Maybe the engaged couple is from BB9, wouldn't that be something.

As for threats, I don't find any big threats right now except for Adam, but again, it's not a huge threat since he's insane and people disregard him. Chelsia doing things THAT fast however is going to be a competition threat, so that's something to keep in mind as a potential threat. Chelsia and I love our talks, but about game she's reserved, so I'm not sure if she'll open up to me about that. Sheila was also the fastest time in the last Veto, but I trust her, and I think she trusts me, so hopefully that can progress to something going forward in the future where I can use her strength for my benefit. A whole "comp beasts stay together" kind of deal. Sounds boring to watch, but I'm here for me this time, not anybody else. I'll see what I can work up. However, if Sheila goes the opposite route, then she could be a threat too. When it comes to strategic or social threats, I'm not sure. James could be one, and if Glyn ever decides to turn on me, then that is a MASSIVE red flag and he needs to go. I don't think he'll do that anytime soon. Plus, he might be the social and/or strategic force of this duo, and so far, I seem to (shockingly) be adept at comps. We've literally had only three though, so we'll see as the season goes on.

tl;dr no major threats to me and my game at the current moment.

5. How do you feel about your performance in the Head of Household challenge? Do you think you held your own? What was your strategy going into it?

So here's the thing: two nights ago my computer shut down and updated itself, and it fucking sucks when it does that and I have to re-load everything. Anyway, Firefox got updated and it has this shit "open image in new tab" bullshit when you right-click an image, instead of the old "view image". That takes time, and I didn't know this until the challenge happened!! So fuck [redacted] software developers who don't know shit and are moronic twats, I hate how common reduced functionality seems to be. Firefox is getting worse and I hate it because no fucking way am I ever using Chrome but there's less options-

anyway I'm not here to vent about web browsers. I think that I had a decent shot at it, but Chelsia doing them in SECONDS was unbelievable. She must have done EVERYTHING to prepare, like she probably had a tab open with the reply button and IMG tags ready, then the main thread in a second tab refreshing for when BB told us what to search for, with the third tab being for image searching. All with high speed internet. Like, I just can't see how else she did it that quick. I don't think a lot of us can measure how we did because of fucking Chelsia. See, anyone with that name, you just can't trust.

But nah, now that I know she is capable, it makes me more on guard to do better. I know I can do better at challenges. I know they won't be the same as Stranded, but I looked at the Invasion and Splintered boards for what comps they do, and I have general experience now doing ORG challenges, so I think I should be better at them than when I was on Tanzania.

One more thing to add: the fact Chelsia did THAT well almost makes me wonder if she's a vet that's playing who knows how to work the Stranded forums. It's just... she was so good at it.

Susie wanting to backdoor Susie or Parker?

Parker was bullshitting me saying he was closest to fucking Spiral of all people, but still, isn't it still early for a backdoor? We just have to make sure we have the numbers. I think I'd rather Susie go, just because even if he's an enemy in disguise, Parker would be a better adversary than Susie. Plus, it would be much easier to convince Grace or Shah to vote out Susie over Parker.

Not this round, she isn't HOH. Just in general. Like even as soon as next round she might want it

WAIT NO NOT SUSIE! FUCKING WHAT'S HER NAME AMANDA

[Richard]

WAIT NO NOT SUSIE! FUCKING WHAT'S HER NAME AMANDA

Even when I'm sober I can't type lmao, Amanda was saying that about Susie

Alright who warned her about me

Guess Episode 3 didn't start after the Queen left.

Anyway, almost right after I made that cast assessment above, shit started to change with most of Group Bitch. I feel like I can't trust any of them now. I didn't want the house to be divided by our original groups, but they're really not giving me much to work with, and even Glyn is having a difficult time trying to get in with them since they're giving us NOTHING to work with, except shit we already know, like not liking Shah. The fact Susie chooses to talk about Grace still even though she's gone speaks wonders. I can't figure out the core, but I'm sure Susie and Parker have to be together. They just have this PR-speak vibe about them, but they also want info from us without giving anything to work with. Even if I wanted to go hard and flip to Group B hypothetically, they wouldn't let me in on that I don't think and would keep me out of a main alliance and only as a side person to vote with them. I'm not about that.

Group Bitch can not win HOH. I already hate how there's a good chance Amanda won't be able to make it, that cuts our numbers down to win HOH tremendously. Glyn also sucks at comps lol. Plus we have Adam who I don't trust. And if someone from that side wins it, the noms would prob be Shahbaz and someone else. If they want to keep this "pax" going, they'll do Jen since she seems like the last possible safe nominee before we have to take shots at each other. If they wanna take a shot at our side, they should do Adam. If they don't do Adam as a nom then that's very telling, especially if they go after someone really big instead from Group A.

You know, I heard in ORG world, there are some players where they'll only talk to you if you're on their side as an ally or if they need you for something, but otherwise won't message you unless you send one first. And I heard that this kind of behaviour isn't rare sadly. It feels like most of this cast is acting like that, and I can't STRESS enough how much that annoys the shit out of me. Get these people all on a podcast after so I can drag about sixteen people at once for that shit and for being globs of horse jizz. Cut it out.

Glyn says that Aisleyne says that Group B is extremely clique-y and have terrible social games. I believe it.

I dunno. This cast was hyped up a lot, but they seem about as fun as a deflated balloon. I felt more personal connections and fun shit with Tanzania during the first night more than the entirety of Espionage so far. Maybe Ryan, Renny and Grace were the three most excited for that happened to go out early haha. Or some like Shah or Adam who are not as active either way. The reason that this cast is hyped about must be hidden, or they're things that are unimpressive to me, like James knowing BB Steve. That, or people are hyped because of the twists instead of the cast. All I an say is, the twists are already better than Stranded because they don't involve StrandedCoin.

I'm here for the twists that will come. You know what I have to do? I gotta make some memes like I used to. That's a good way of doing things! Also, if Liz and Erik aren't playing, they better have a meme-off in the lurker server. They make memes so fast and good, truly the modern innovators of our society. Gotta keep up with em.

Anyway, Glyn (and I think me now) are convinced that Parker/Susie/Chelsia/Pete are in some combination working together. Glyn knows more about Pete's game and he isn't too fond of him now. I was also not fond of him, he's probably the person I've spoken to least on the cast, and if I wanted to take a "safe" target at Group B, I'd do Pete. At least Parker and Susie have shown me fake friendship, Pete just doesn't care lol. However, I think more importantly, that Parker/Susie/Chelsia are a dangerous combination. Parker seems to be the biggest social threat, Susie might be the biggest strategic threat, and Chelsia is the biggest competition threat. They have the 3 pillars down to 3 great players, and they have to be taken out carefully.

Natalie still iffy on, maybe she's not as important, although still don't care for her. Sheila isn't working with me formally but I love her game so far. She's great at comps and has shown to be trusting of me, being the first to tell me of Adam's alliance, which even though nobody took seriously, it's the principle that she told me which I respect. Not sure if I can work with her in a tight alliance since I don't think Glyn or Amanda want to bring her in close, but 1 on 1 I'd enjoy something with her. But.... sigh, a recurring theme with all these people I want to talk to is that THEY'RE NEVER FUCKING ON.
