Warning: I talk...A LOT.
Let's be frank. I am not here to make friends...I am not here to show how honest or honorable I can be...I am here to win, ruthlessly if I have my way about it. People that really know me will tell you that I am an "arrogant asshole"; unfortunately this is true.
Let's start by looking into the past. I started my "ORG" experience a few months ago. I have always loved the game of Survivor (even though I've only watched about five seasons), so I was determined to get involved with it somehow. I poked around for a couple days on the internet and stumbled into the Online Reality Game World; and finally, I found others who had my same passion!
I applied to the first one I found, and it was "Survivor Maluku Islands". Because I had never done this before, and had nothing to lose, I dove into it head first and never looked back.
The Prediction Writer's first impression of me was: "The game's just barely begun, and he's already told more lies than he can count! Unfortunately for Rob, people are already starting to catch on to his game. I think he came in playing too hard too fast. It would surprise me if he were to make the jury." Well, the P.W. would have probably been right on about my future, but unfortunately for her, she underestimated my manipulation skills.
I was a power player in that game from day one all the way to the final two. There were at least six people that tried to de-throne me, but of course I would not allow such a thing. Needless to say, I was the Sole Survivor in my first ever ORG. To this day, most of the people from that game refuse to believe it really was my first...
Maluku is the only game that I have played all the way through; I have technically been in two others since that time, but quit both of them. The first was because I only entered it to conduct a "social experiment" of sorts, and I also felt the game was not being run whatsoever like Survivor; the second was simply because it was overflowing with inactives.
Guatemala will be my chance to see whether or not Maluku was beginner's luck, or if I really do have some skills when it comes to Survivor.
Now I get to be Bobby Jon...maybe some of his "Boy Scout" mentality will rub off onto me and I'll actually hesitate when being deceitful...wouldn't that be a sight! I definately share his competitive nature when it comes to Challenges though, but the whole "honesty" thing will take A LOT of work.
My goal in this game is to attempt being a "hidden" power player. Maluku was great in the sense that I made all of the decisions...but the downside was everybody knew it. The target on my backside grew with each Tribal Council.
This time around, I would love to be the wizard behind the curtain...but with me being such a control freak, I'm not sure if I have the ability to remain in the background. The thing with me is, I want to know everything about EVERYTHING. Knowledge is definately my number one tool in this game; not friendships, not immunity...just good ole' knowledge. We'll see if I am actually able to tone it down in Guatemala...but don't hold your breath.
Okay, finally, we'll move on to current events. I wake up at the crack of dawn to complete this godforsaken challenge...and I screw up one of the codes. I tried 108 instead of 109. Needless to say I didn't get it before I had to run myself to work. I came home on my lunch break to hopefully finish it up in time...but alas, I was too late. So not only was I late to work TWICE in one day, but I also have a one in three chance of going home.
Of course I'm not worried in the slightest about my fate this round, because to be perfectly honest with you, everyone loves my sorry a$$. The trick here is to spread the votes out between Danni and Gary. Gary going home is a given, but Danni has some loyal followers such as Steph and Blake. I will use a couple of my closest buddies to vote Danni, including myself of course, and just like that...I'll be on to round two. No sweat.
P.S. My ego will end me.
