Final Public Confessional

Well, the end is actually here. I cannot believe I have made it this far. When the game started, I thought I would be one of the first ones out. I have surprised myself in this game. If I don't win, then I am fine with it. Anyways, the challenges for this episode were crazy. The three questions game, I knew we wouldn't win it. It isnt that we didnt try, its just all it took was one wrong answer and we were done. Oh wells. Challenge 8.2 can only be described as IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! the first part was really really hard. The second part of the challenge, I actually started to get. I just couldnt find the other keys so it was like ugh. I couldn't believe that I found the secret key in the maze. That was some luck right there. I was even happier that I got a +1 out of it, but then a little saddened when I saw that Andy got it too so now I have more competition. It is the end and I am excited. May the best person win!!!!

Evin and the Mole have JUST left the building

My mole suspect from Episode 1 has just left the game. I am a little in shock because Evin was sooooooooooooooo dedicated to the game that it wasn't funny. He was an amazing player and a great person. I am kind of sad that he left this game because his blogs were so interesting to read and it was refreshing to see it from his perspective. The title of this blog (Which was a quote referencing Darwin from Mole S2 USA) says everything. He was so smart that he was such mole material which is why I latched on to him from the beginning. Evin, you will be missed. On a little bit more of a positive note, I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE MADE THE FINAL 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that I have gotten this far. Contrary to Evin's belief, I don't believe I have gotten a free ride in this game. I feel like I have worked very hard to get this far exemptions or no. I am honored to be in the Final 3 with 2 competitors such as Padraig and Andy. It is really hard to believe that this will be the last execution. Interestingly enough, there is still 10 dollars to be made. I think we need to get that money in the pot. seriously. That is all people, thank you.

Episode 7 Confessional

Wow, the never ending episode is finally coming to an end!!!

For the Wall Street Challenge, Ryan made an error for my calculations actually. I bought the EBAY shares at 33.22 not 33.15 so I DID spend 95,000 for investments. I don't know if it will get revised, but oh well. As for Minesweeper, I knew we had that challenge in the bank as soon as me and Pad were able to complete it. I have played Minesweeper ten million times before so I know what to do and where the mines would be. I am glad we busted the 10 dollar mark with that challenge. The In The Dark challenge was actually alot of fun and raised some suspicion upon a few people. Evin got both of his safes open in ONE TRY!!!! How does someone go about doing that? This week should be interesting however. I unlocked the vault in a very interesting way. I have seen that type of puzzle before with Morse Code so it wasn't that bad. When I saw that there was no MP challenge this week, PS: I am upset about that, I knew I had to get some mole points. I sold the info to Padraig so that I could get 2 mole points and get the plus 1. If I make the final 3 I will be so happy. The only problem is that the two people I suspect of being the mole are STILL in the damn game!!!! Wish me luck peoples because I would love to make it to the finals.

Double U Tee Eff!!!!!!! Ryan Left!

If you dont understand the title of this blog entry, it is a spoof on WTF (now do you get it??)

I will say this, Ryan was a good guy. I am not going to judge him for opening the chest because I did the same thing. He HAD to be the one that locked that door though. I didn't really know who was going to be executed this round. I thought for sure it was going to be me with getting that virus. I am glad that I am still in the game though. It is getting really intense now that it is down to the final four. I think the thing that has been the most fun is reading Evin's blog actually :). They are so funny. I am not saying that to be mean or anything, its just fun to look at the game from his perspective. I really respect Padraig as well in this game and I am glad he remained in the game. I did not think it was possible to find someone more dedicated to ORG's than me. Andy I also give alot of credit for remaining in the game even though he is dealing with a different time zone than the rest of us. Sure we are all in different ones, but his is more drastic. Ryan will be missed because he definitely added an element of sanity.

Episode 6 Confessional

I guess I could only say one thing about this episode: Whoops, My Bad!!

Seriously though, If you had a 1 in 3 shot at an exemption for 50 cents, wouldn't you take it? I wanted it because I have the virus this round and I do not feel like getting executed. I am still unsure of who the mole is but I have a feeling about this. I just don't know what is going to happen this week. All I know is that I want to be here next week because I want to win really bad. As for the Mole Idol, I thought my only responsibility was to select the song for the task. Again, my bad. The funhouse challenge was fun. I accidentally locked the left door but I caught my mistake afterwards. The big puzzle was the top door being locked. I tried it but it was already locked. I got through the right door where I found a chest and I took it. The riddles were fun and I figured them out rather quickly thank goodness. I have a theory about the top door. I think Ryan got it right, then went back and locked it, i could be wrong, but I digress. That is all for today, thank you.

P.S. Evin, your confessionals are funnie!!!!

Mike Went Home

Wow, NOT expecting that. I am very upset with myself for not giving him the exemption now. I was hoping for him to go to the very end. It just sucks because he was one of my best friends in the game and now he is gone. I will win this one for you Mike. On a more positive note, I broke in to the vault. Those clues were a little cryptic. I got something out of there but I am not going to say what. There is some GOOD stuff in that vault.

Episode 5 Confessional

I keep trying to tell myself that this is a game and on the outside, I am playing it very well. If you all only knew. I am a person that does not like to piss off other people and I also try to make everyone happy. I betrayed the trust of alot of people in this last round alone. Alot of the things that I promised to do, I didn't do. I am truly sorry to Mike and Andy. Mike I feel like I stole an exemption from you and that is messed up. Andy, I didn't hold to our deal in the auction game and for that I apologize. This game is extremely hard mentally. On a more positive note, i made the F5 so I think I will be ok.

Aaron, He Gone!!

I really don't want to be mean, but I have to say that I think that Aaron should have gone before Keith. Not to say that Aaron isn't a good player, its just that Keith was online alot more than Aaron. I never got to have one conversation with him. He was definitely not on my list of mole suspects. It really getting down to the wire really fast in this game and people are leaving left and right. I have however narrowed my list of suspects. Here is my current list of suspects in no particular order: Mike, Andy, Padraig, Evin, and Ryan.

Episode 4 Confessional

Well, I have to say I feel kinda bad this episode. I got the exemption, but I got it at the expense of other people. Not feelin good about that. The person I feel the worst for is Ryan. I feel like I tricked him in to giving me his ticket. I did give him the 3 mole points, but I don't think that makes up for it. Ryan, if you read this, I am sorry for doing that, but I wanted the exemption. The two tickets that you gave me were a surprise, and I hope you don't get executed this round. Mike, same for you. I am sorry that I couldn't give you my token, but I just couldn't do that when Evin had offered the tickets to Padraig possibly getting more tokens. If that wasn't an issue, you would have had my token. I hope you aren't gone this round Mike. As for Challenge 4.2, the big question is, Was it fair? honestly, no. Here is my reasoning. Only 4 people really showed up at the challenge. 2 people switch. that is 2 votes automatically for the unswitched players. The unswitched players could not get a majority vote for the life of them, so no matter how me and Andy voted, we would have lost the money anyways. Im not going to complain because I am happy for Evin and Padraig getting the plus 2's, I would have done the same thing in their position so no hard feelings (P.S. Not saying that because I have the exemption)

I don't really know if I am getting a good handle on who the mole is, but I just hope I can get to the end.

Keith = Executed

How can I put this delicately.......


OMGWTFWWJDICBINB.....W....T....F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keith was an AMAZING person and I cannot believe he is executed. He should still be in this game. I just feel violated that he is gone. Not enough can be said about him. It just like dear lord. This game is bout to get ugly. I just hope that I am not the next person to go. Keith, you will be missed.

Week 3 confessional

Ok, well this week kinda sucked for me. I was incredibly busy this weekend and had no time to do any of the challenges. I was at a conference called IRHA and presented a program based around survivor. It went well, but now i feel like i am losing my hold on the game. I am still very much in this game its just that I do have other things in my life going on and the live challenges are scheduled at the same time that I have meetings. Wednesdays are bad for me. I also feel bad that I have not been able to talk to andy because I know he is trying, its just im not there which has been the case for most of this week. If I am gone this week, it will suck, but I hope I dont leave.

Brentin Gone.... Now What?

Well, Brentin is gone. I can't really say that I am surprised at him being gone. I never saw him on AIM so it just made sense. However his execution marks an important part of this game. Everyone left is ready to play and I just hope that I am up to the task of doing it. I really want to win this game, and I don't want to do it for the money. These games for me are all about pride. I guess this is why I am upset that 2 people basically quit whether by circumstance or choice. Let the games begin.

Week 2 Confessional

Well Week 2 is over and I couldn't be more happy. I have talked to alot more people this week than before. I am even more happy that I got an exemption. I feel bad about getting it because Padraig got in to an accident so I feel that I got it at his expense. Padraig kinda messed up the challenges this week but I don't know if that was on purpose or on accident. I guess we will just have to wait and see what this next week holds. I kinda messed up on my questions for the challenge. I thought I was right but I guess I was dead wrong on some of them. As for the people left in this game lemme go over them:

Mike: I like him. I think he is a great guy and easy to talk to
Evin: Again, I like him and I think we have alot in common. He is in to Student Government as am I to an extent
Keith: Another great guy and I think that he will go far in the game.
Andy: I feel bad because I was incredibly busy when we started our conversation. I will finish it though
Padraig: I tried to talk to Padraig but never got a response and have never seen him on AIM but once. I think he has alot of personality I have just yet to really talk to him.
Ryan: Have not talked to him yet, but I know he is active
Aaron: Like Ryan, haven't talked to him
Brentin: Who?

Well, thats all folks, see you next week.

Heidi Go Bye-Bye

Well, Heidi is gone which is weird. I have not played a game with her before but I do know of her because I played a game with her sister. She played the same game except in an earlier season. She was very active and even considered a threat. She must not have submitted a quiz because I answered quite a few questions on her. Well she is gone and that mean I am that much closer to the end game.

First Episode Blog Confessional

Well here is my first Public confessional.

So far, I have talked to 2 people in this game so I don't know anyone. No one is ever online for the game every time I check or they are idle. It is kind of discouraging. Of course all of this had to happen during a very busy week for me. The two people I have talked to were Keith and Mike. I like them, they are nice, but it could be a rouse. Oh well, I guess that is the way things are going right now.

Trust No One
