Welcome adventurers! We hope your journey to Hyrule isn't filled with too much strife.
Only you, the Moderators and the Spectators will see what you post here. However everyone will have access to it postgame. Feel free to share your thoughts and point of view on the game. Spectators will also ask you questions on occasion, feel free to answer them. There are no guidelines to what you can post in your confessional, though occasionally you will be required to post private individual challenge submissions here. Otherwise, the virtual sky is the limit! Roam the open fields of Hyrule and report to us your findings so that we may be part of your adventure.
To get you started, here are a few questions:
{1} Have you ever played Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild before? If not, do you know the basic story or have you played other Legend of Zelda games before?
{2} Do you have a strategy for how you will play Survivor: Power vs Courage vs Wisdom?
{3} This theme focuses on three core areas, Challenge prowess, Social Prowess, and Strategic Prowess. Why did you choose the trait that has put you into your initial tribe?
{4} Isn't the banner beautiful?!?!?!

Greetings, loyal fans! I am Kass, the legendary bard, and I am pleased to finally be given the audience I so rightfully deserve.
You may know me from my quite incredible skill with the accordion, and as you will soon see, I can play the rather simple-minded inhabitants of this realm just as easily. I am aware that it would have been much more sporting of me to sit out and allow what I am sure was a significant amount of work to have a more interesting outcome, but these peasants have no idea of the extent of my greatness and this seems like the perfect opportunity for them to bear witness to a portion of it.
I will answer any questions you ask here, but be aware that my level of strategic thinking may be difficult to comprehend for you. I would advise you all to continue reading nonetheless, as every word you understand will help you learn how to better your current mediocre minds.
1) I have begun the game, but in the life of one such as I there is little time for frivolity. It appeared to be a rather beautiful game at first glance, and I can see how it would be a welcome distraction for those who do not have as much of a perfect life as I do. This is especially true if they find the representation of myself, which, while clearly not a true to life representation of my perfection, will still likely be a greater thing than most of the peasants who play have seen in their lives.
Ocarina of Time on the other hand, which is the only other Zelda game I have cared to play, was a pointless waste of time. It does not include myself, for one. If any more reason is needed, the controls are unbefitting of one used to perfection, and certain temples, such as the Water Temple, appear to be designed solely for the purpose of causing frustration. As a master of the subject, I can say that this is never a good approach to take when creating art.
2) I will embody all three aspects of the game, as I always do. I am easily the most wise person in all the land, easily the most powerful person in all the land, and I need not even care about courageousness for I am scared of nothing. If the other players bow the knee, they shall be treated as dutiful pawns and shall be allowed a reasonable placement in the game. If they do not, they will be quickly and efficiently dispatched. If a pawn becomes a threat to me, I will strike them down without a second thought. I embody perfection, and anybody who stands in the way of the perfect conclusion will be eliminated.
3) Power is perhaps my greatest strength. Have you not seen these muscles, little one?
4) It is certainly a work of art to behold; I may requistion it to bring to my private collection along with the prize money after the game.
Finally, you would do well to address me as Sir in the future. It is not a requirement, but I will reward the most loyal of fans at the conclusion of this game.

~*Impa's Inquiries*~
Greetings young one, it is that time in this phase where I, Impa, come and invade your confessional with a series of questions aimed to get to know you and the state of the game without having to actually read more than the reply to this post to find out those answers! So please, be honest. I promise I have no nefarious plans for you or your answers, and that I handcrafted this questionnaire solely for you and definitely didn't copy-paste it to every player in the game.
1) You've had some time to get to know your fellow adventurers, tell me about them. Who all do you like? Who don't you like? Who reads like a threat, and who reads like a weakling?
2) Best one-liner you've sent or received in a PM so far?
3) What kind of twists are you hoping or expecting to see? What sort would be the worst possible for you?
4) What is the way you want to be perceived in this game? Which would you least like to be described as?
5) Summarize your game strategy in a gif.
6) What is your favourite rocks fact?
Thank you for your time, I'll be in touch if I don't die of old age and boredom between now and then.

That depends on what you class as Chaos. My strategy will be perfection, but in the eyes of others it may be seen as chaotic simply because it will not be acting in their interests. I will drop alliances without a second thought if it appears to be in my best interest to do so, and I am not averse to putting a knife in anyone's back if it gives me a better route to the end.

Old hag, there is protocol for addressing your betters. 'Young One' is not a title befitting a legend such as myself, but I shall answer your questions anyway. I expect you to learn for next time. 1) You've had some time to get to know your fellow adventurers, tell me about them. Who all do you like? Who don't you like? Who reads like a threat, and who reads like a weakling? Obviously none compare to myself, but there is a definite gap between the massively social players (Revali, Khoga, Magda) and those who are weak in that respect (Roscoe, Teebo) - with Patricia being in the wrong timezone to immediately talk and so being difficult to judge. There are none I dislike, and I have had pleasant conversations with all of them - but the most useful pawns will be those who others view as on the outs, because others will likely not be pursuing alliances with them and thus their allegiance won't be divided. As such, I made extra effort to connect with those difficult to connect with, and I didn't even need to propose an alliance - Teebo and Roscoe came to me about forming a three. I expect that if the Power tribe should go to tribal council, those who seem to be on top of the totem pole will be in for a nasty surprise. Of course, you can't dominate a tribe of 7 with just 3, so Khoga would be my fourth if it comes to a TC. He is a pleasant gentleman and although I would obviously have to cut him at some point or another, he is the socialite I would not be averse to working with. From my conversations with him, I believe he would not be averse to doing something interesting should we go to tribal, so he will be my first port of call should that happen. 2) Best one-liner you've sent or received in a PM so far? I do not particularly care for one-liners, but Revali calling himself fly was probably one of the best. I do not really have the time for such frivolities myself. 3) What kind of twists are you hoping or expecting to see? What sort would be the worst possible for you? I am expecting that you will throw everything you can at me to prevent the obvious conclusion of my victory, and yet nothing you can do will succeed. I believe Redemption Island could be on the table and this could potentially be a bad thing for the way I'm deciding to play this game, as I will be responsible for the knives in the backs of most individuals, but it's nothing the great Kass cannot overcome. 4) What is the way you want to be perceived in this game? Which would you least like to be described as? My allies will see me as their glorious leader, someone they'd be lost without. My enemies will either see me as the oncoming storm, an inevitable force that they cannot possibly defeat, or they will not see me at all until the knife is already where it needs to be. Ultimately, every player will see me as their executioner, and despite this they will still award me the victory at the end. I am going to play the most dominant game any of you have ever seen; that's a promise. 5) Summarize your game strategy in a gif. 6) What is your favourite rocks fact? I do not understand the relevance of this question.

How did we come up with the criterea for Power? I'd like to see that data
These people are so easily manipulated. I'm the king of this tribe already and every day I'm solidifying my position more and more.
As the player seeing and controlling everything, I suppose it's my duty to keep you updated on the state of the game. I would imagine this will help make sense of a lot of what you're reading in the other confessionals.
First things first, my strategy is to sow discord and profit from it. I am the king, I am in the power position, but with the power position comes a target and a risk. The easiest way to negate that target is to have everyone in the tribe believe that me being in that power position is in their best interest, and the easiest way to do that is to divide and conquer.
Nobody on this tribe should be closer to any other player than they are to me - if they are, I'll start telling stories, causing distrust, and driving a wedge in their relationship until they believe their 'friend' was manipulating them the whole time. That brings them closer to me, because I was the one who revealed the extent of the manipulation to them. If they don't seem to be the kind of person that will work on - I'll send them packing.
I have the 3 person alliance between myself, Teebo, and Roscoe. Teebo has actually managed to establish himself quite well socially, which is partially good and partially bad - it means he is getting a flow of information that is all reaching me as his 'trusted mentor', but it also means he'll likely have options and I don't want him to have options. Magda approached him about an alliance, but was apparently being cagey with him about what other players she liked, so I pushed that hard to make him distrust her. He loved Revali too - we'll get back to that.
Roscoe is potentially the best pawn I could have. He's a complete contrarian to everyone else in the tribe in every way - he aligned with Teebo when people were talking about booting Teebo, and he aligned with Patricia the moment people started talking about booting Patricia. He's not very social and a stickler for alliances over friendships, which makes getting him to do what I want him to do incredibly easy.
Patricia is on the bottom and knows it. She'd be on the bottom regardless, but I've been pushing her name to a number of people as the 'easy vote' since she's not been around and she's been quite inactive. That limits her options quite significantly - she knows she needs to get into an alliance and fast, and her best connection thus far has been with Roscoe. She had already pitched a three-way alliance with myself and Roscoe by the time I got up today. Perfection. It will not be difficult to get her to vote for... anyone, really, because everyone has been bandying her name about and she knows it's either whoever I propose or her.
Kohga is my ace in the hole. We've had an interesting conversation and bonded over it to the point where I believe he views me as his closest ally on the tribe. It's a very undercover alliance and I'll only utilise it if I need to, but since we appear distant, it should give me any information that people are deliberately trying to keep secret from me. I am keeping him up to date on the goings on from my perspective, because I believe he will be incredibly useful down the line.
Magda is one of the few I do not have much of a relationship with. We idol hunted together, which I think she viewed as bonding but in reality it was simply because I didn't have much to say to her but still wanted her to feel close to me. She's apparently approached Teebo about an alliance, and mentioned having one other player who communicates with her enough to be an ally, but won't say who that is (I suspect it is Revali). The fact that she feels closer to those to than to me is reason enough to boot her from the game, but perhaps not this round. For now I am being friendly with her while undermining her in conversations with everyone except Revali.
Revali, oh Revali. My main competition in terms of social ability, in my view. We have gotten off to a pleasant enough start but it is clear that he is charismatic and liked across the board, which simply will not do. There is only room for one king on this tribe, and that king is me.

Teebo is a fantastic ally to have; he is doing the things I want to be doing, letting me achieve my vision for this game while putting most of the target on his own back. He's being considerably less subtle with it than I am, which is fine by me; I do not mind him appearing to be the villain while doing this at all. My plan was to use the obvious vote against Patricia as leverage to get her to do what I wanted her to do; pull her into the alliance and target someone stronger. Talks with Teebo made him have the same idea, but rather than gently talking her round to it, he went to her and basically said 'you're going home if you don't work with me'. Beautiful. Obviously she wasn't too happy about this and they got into an argument, which Patricia then ranted about to some other people - most notably, Revali. And then, as the two of them start making up, Revali tells me about the whole thing. Oh, poor sweet naive Revali. You have given me the ammunition that has doomed you. My main obstacle for voting out the biggest social player here was simply how good he was on the social front. Teebo really liked Revali, to the point that he wanted to extend our alliance to include Revali (which I talked him out of). I've been waiting for the opportunity to drive a wedge between them ever since, and this was the opportunity I was waiting for.
I told Teebo and Patricia both that Revali was talking about their argument. I barely had to push more than that; I simply mentioned that Patricia was being pushed, and that he was making a big deal out of it, and both of them easily put two and two together and began to distrust him. In reality, I believe he was just giving me information because he wanted to get closer to me, but in their eyes he's putting and pushing a target on both of their backs - and suddenly, the Teebo/Revali relationship is gone. Teebo is already considering switching his vote to Revali should he be open, and I believe it would be fairly easy to get the four on board (Teebo/myself/Roscoe/Patricia), plus inform my undercover agent, without it getting back to Revali. The fool will probably even play for advantage.
Easy every time. And Magda will be an easy out for the next vote too unless I feel like changing things up.

Saas’ Saasy Solicitations
Hi there! I’m here to solicit some answers from you, because you’ve got a head and I want to know what’s in it! If you refuse to respond to my questions, you may need to be saased, so do it or else!! I will be vicious.
1. How do you feel about the results of the challenge? Are you happy with who won Immunity? Do you think it changed the way the vote will go down?
2. Any theories about who might have the advantage? Does that affect your choice this TC or your thinking moving forward?
3. If you had the sole vote to eliminate anyone on the tribe, who would it be and why? Is this the person you think will actually be going home? If it isn’t, are you going to do something to change that?
4. On a scale of 1-100, how safe do you feel going into this TC? What about if this tribe has to go to another TC after this one?
5. If your entire tribe was drowning in the middle of the ocean and you could only fit one other member on your raft, who would you choose to save and why?
That’s all for now! Stay tuned for more…solicitations. And try not to go home, while you’re at it.

Little temple, I do not think you understand the position you are in. I am the very essence of Power, and it is beyond generous of me to even allow you to bear witness to my thoughts. I shall answer your questions, but in future you will address me with due deference.
1. How do you feel about the results of the challenge? Are you happy with who won Immunity? Do you think it changed the way the vote will go down?
Well well well, it appears our oiseau friend is more tenacious than I initially gave him credit for. Consider me impressed, and that is a rare thing indeed. Yes, the immunity win absolutely changes the way the vote will go down. That blasted bird saved himself without even knowing that he needed to; if he had not won immunity, he would most certainly have been blindsided. But no matter, the only thing that has changed is that it is now his associate being blindsided instead of him. Once Magda is gone, the way should be clear to eliminate Revali at the earliest possible opportunity. The major downside is that he will see it coming and will try to fight to stay, but that will just make it all the more satisfying when his struggles are for naught and he leaves the game despite them.
2. Any theories about who might have the advantage? Does that affect your choice this TC or your thinking moving forward?
I am fairly certain that Teebo has the advantage, with an outside chance that Magda is lying about her time and won it. I have traded information regarding time to complete with all players, but Teebo is the only one seemingly avoiding the subject, and since he seems obsessed with notions of honour and loyalty, I suspect this is his way of trying to keep a secret without lying. It does not concern me that he has the advantage; in fact, I believe he will use it to my benefit wherever possible, so I am pleased with that result. He will need to learn that he should be sharing information like that with me, but that is something I can work on throughout the game.
If Magda does have it, that is more disappointing, but still not concerning. She will be eliminated regardless. 3. If you had the sole vote to eliminate anyone on the tribe, who would it be and why? Is this the person you think will actually be going home? If it isn’t, are you going to do something to change that?
This question being here shows that you have not been paying attention. I already do have the sole vote to eliminate anyone on this tribe; that is how exercising this level of Power works. Since I cannot eliminate Revali, I will weaken him by eliminating Magda, because this will make him considerably easier to eliminate in future. As for why, Revali is the player in the way of my goal of every player being closer to me than to any other player, so his elimination is imperative.
And of course the person I vote for will go home. This is how I have set the tribe up. Even if I did not have the ability to convince others to follow me on the vote, which I do, I have positioned myself in the swing position of the tribe - so, although I am not going to do so, if I really wanted to I could vote alongside Revali, Magda and Kohga and send Patricia home. I am the king of this tribe, and what I say goes.
4. On a scale of 1-100, how safe do you feel going into this TC? What about if this tribe has to go to another TC after this one?
100, and 100 again. I set up a solid majority alliance full of people who will stay loyal to me no matter what, and I have an asset in Kohga on the outs of this vote who Revali will put all his trust into - meaning, in essence, he will be putting all his trust into me. Nothing will happen on this tribe without my say so, and even factors I cannot control (such as immunity wins and idols) can easily be worked around with the stranglehold I have on everything here.
5. If your entire tribe was drowning in the middle of the ocean and you could only fit one other member on your raft, who would you choose to save and why?
Likely Patricia. It sounds like we would be fairly distant from any shore, and there is good eating on that seal.

1. You've now gone through two swaps. How does this effect your alliances? What's groups do you feel strong with?
2. You've now met a lot of players, is there anyone you'd be wanting to eliminate pre-merge? Either for being a threat or because you've struggled to get on with?
3. Have you heard musings of any items or idols being possessed? If so, do you have any theories as to who might have these items or idols?
4. Who would you say is the strongest bond you have in the game currently? How do you think the swaps have effected your relationship with them?
5. What would be the craziest possible twist you could think of that could be done in a game? Do you anticipate we've already thought of this and plan to execute this plan, or is it too insane even for our standards?
