Pre game and Episode 1.

[kingdarnell]

Hiiiii! I missed playing alias. My real name is Luis, I'm 22 and I'm a lot to take sometimes but I'm going to play smart this time like I know I can. I'll try to have fun in the process!

People can't know this is me so... In this game I'll be 17, from California (won't specify more). I'm in high school and I'm currently in advanced placement. That should be all... the rest will come to me!

I have an overly strategic mind, I don't think it's smart to have a signature and to show yourself to be the most active from the very beginning. I'm watching you, Natalie and Ken.

If my tribe is a tribe of eight, I'll be okay being the fourth or the third most active player in it. I won't be doing much really! Just being as outgoing and friendly as possible, finding a couple of people who I click with and boom. Not being the worst in challenges and not being in anyone's radar, not looking like a controlling freak... because I'm here to win this time!

Watch me being a mess again. Ugh. But no... that's what Luis/Krista was like, but that's not what Darnell is like.

7. Alecia
8. Morgan
9. Natalie
10. Liz
11. John
12. Malcolm
13. Yau-Man
14. Jefra
15. Fabio

Hi. I was doing a confessional and it got deleted. SORRY. 


SO. I'm so so so sleepy but I HAVE to write a confessional for day 2.


CANTUTA - DAY 2

My tribe is awful just because we got an inactive. I feel we'll be a losing tribe thanks to that. I think we'd have a chance at winning if it weren't for that, besides, Lindsey won't be here for the important part of the challenge even though she could be super useful. 


Anyway, the first person from my tribe I got to talk to today was Alecia. She is fine, our conversations felt a little forced but she's nice enough. We talked about NYC and its rats, about giving birth and Survivor a little. It was okay, nothing huge. She hates needles, I hate blood. She hates mice and rats, I do too. She lives in NYC, I live in the fifth world. (She doesn't know this). Okay so Alecia is a solid 6/10



Lindsey is a cool little doll. She is very charismatic, and Alecia mentioned her as someone she likes a lot, and so do I, so now I know who's the cheerleader of the tribe. Lindsey is. Which means I can't be one of those nerdy guys that are behind cheerleaders but are unsuccessful! I gotta be her number one, I think we could have the chemistry and we started well for the few talks we've had. Lindsey is adorable and easy to talk to. We had a couple of fun chats about innuendos, love life and Shakira references, all flashy but very spontaneous. She cares about the tribe, the challenges, about talking to you and is a positive force. I see you, Lindsey, other people like Jeff are already mentioning you as someone they like. I see you, g0rl. 

Besides her mentioning she was "sort of" single, and that she didn't enjoy being heartbroken, I really didn't get much emotional content or backstory from her. She is a solid 7.5/10 so far.


Yau-Man and I haven't really formally talked. His first message was asking me if I was ready for the challenge, then he said he was having Chipotle and was busy because of that, and then disappeared. Then he apologized for disappearing but he disappeared again. Um okay. Alecia didn't have a strong impression of him, she didn't list him in the people she liked, and Lindsey said she hadn't talked to him today. Bodes well for me. I'm okay with two people in a tribe of 5 being less talkative/likeable than me. Pretty good for someone who missed Night 1. Sorry!!! Was busy. Yau-Man is a 3/10 tbh. UPDATE he's slaying at the challenge. RIP ME.


Fabio is... A quiet guy. 0 so far.


So far I think I have a chance if I do well at the challenge, if I stay social, outgoing and downlow. Not sure what Yau's potential position on the tribe may be, but judging by him being sporadic, I'm feeling good about the immediate future.


ONE WORLD - DAY 2


JEFF.- Was the first person that I talked to. I had so much fun interacting to him. We had a couple of running gags and I feel like I love him already even though he clearly has a tendency of being short with messaging, we found a little chemistry! How awesome is that? I mean, when someone does a bronze medal in Paint for the Olympics for Darnell's heart, I'll love them all the way. We were rude to each other just for fun. I feel my abrasive sense of humor works with him! 7.8/10 so far


KEITH NALE.- Our interaction yesterday wasn't as prolongued but it was a really fun one. I like him and his eccentricity. We could mix perfectly. He wanted to call me Hamilton from the get go, but then he settled for DarNale. Lol Okay. He's very friendly. I see him, though. He's really someone I can see myself having a good time with in this game even if they have a cheap and random sense of humor! 6.8/10


Taj.- Sweet. We talked about Survivor, our rep choices, and Lupita Nyongo. It felt all very natural. I like how simple she is and at the same time talkative enough. She's working for a Broadway gig and stuff. I'm looking forward to her. 6.5/10


Kenny.- We talked about Survivor a lot, he's a superfan, he strikes me as a smart individual too, which is interesting. He has a decent vocabulary and carries himself in a very formal fashion. He can talk about a number of things even though I don't think I made the best of it. I like spontaneous people, so hopefully something good happens between us. 6.4/10


Amanda.- I don't love the way she carries herlsef. A little too dry and short in emotions EVEN THO she's still OK to talk to and has a good enough sense of humor, so that's good.  5.5/10


Liz.- She excused herself for not being able to talk, and let me know she wasn't ignoring me. I appreciate that. I love her rep choice. Liz is such a gorge. No score yet.


Natalie.- I said hi and she did too. Nothing else for us yesterday. No score yet.

[kingdarnell]

I can't stand Liz. I created the main chat and she's just been classless and annoying.

[kingdarnell]

My vote is for Fabio. Will make a parchment as soon as I can tomorrow!!!

[kingdarnell]

HELLO. I'm enjoying the game. Darnell feels amazing about that. I love alias! Although...

I think I, for the first time, identified someone's real ID in the game. That person is Lindsey. I MEAN. I had a very unforgetable experience with this person and it's quite impossible to forget his way of carrying himself when it's so fresh in my mind. Now, number one, I respect the game and I respect this person so NO ONE will know about this, only me. Number two, it's so great and hilarious that he doesn't know who I am and won't know who I am. I'm being this persona who is totally different from the one he knows, but it's not a disingenuous persona at all. It's still me, and when I told Linds I "hated drama and wanted to play a dramalesss game" I really meant it. When I applied for this game, I was very clear that this was a fresh start for me. I won't be targeting Linds ANYTIME soon because I've enjoyed talking to her a lot. It's like my oportunity to get to know and get to interact with this person I doubt loved me by any means last time we played. My stigma is dead. I want to align with Lindsey.


If Lindsey is who I think he is, he's doing an AMAZING job at hiding his identity. As far as I'm concerned based on what he's said, he's a woman who paints her nails blue.

Soooooooooo when it comes to Cantuta, I think I rank it this way: Lindsay, Alecia, Yau in terms of likeness. I think Alecia is growing on me. Or at least will be doing it so. She has an okay sense of humor and apparently is an actual girl. She is pretty cool. Yau is a little short but I haven't given him any chance to improve his relationship with me. Lindsey is fun as hell. We have a similar sense of humor, and she has already expressed she liked me! I'm excited.

Outside of the tribe, Amanda, Jeff, Kenny, Keith and Taj, in no particular order are the ones who have expressed interest in talking to me and getting to know me. I like all of them a lot, but I have to say I have a little "crush" on Kenny. And by that I mean I want to get to know him.


So who am I in this game? I've changed a little. I'm not 17 like I planned to be. I'm 23. I'm American, from Cali. I work in the administration field for a small company, it's kind of sporadic. I work for other companies too. I do presentations and shit. I like fifth harmony. I'm not sure what else to be honest.


I HAVE TO SAY I'm enjoying playing this game. I enjoy talking to people and just tell jokes and have fun. It's peaceful. It's nice and I love it. I told Linds I was in hippie mode because this is like I don't even care about playing that much. I'm here to be happy and have fun. Even though I haven't talked to Malcolm or Cochran, and have barely talked to Morgan, Nat and Liz (thankfully)
