Carol's Survival Guide

[Carol]

It's quiet... too quiet. Nothing else to do now but sit around and wait for the eventual end that is sure to fall over all of us. I haven't eaten in days and I feel my energy leaving my body as I sit here now, waiting... This is it? This is how I die? This can't be it! I've fought too hard for too long. I knew it was only a matter of time, but... 

Entry One: It seems my days of wondering alone have finally come to an end. I was nearly starving when they found me and I don't remember much as I continually fell in and out of consciousness, only coming to an occasional sight of being drug out of the grave I had dug for myself. I remembering thinking that it could be worse; it was them or the Walkers and I wasn't about to end my life as a meal for the undead.

The initial thought that came to my mind was that of any others' in this day and age: Friendlies or Hostiles?
An odd thought to some, but ever since the walker pandemic began and humanity went to hell, there is no one you could bring yourself to fully trust.

What did they want with me? I'm skinny and frail, so there's not much they can get out of me.
Was I going to be used for bait? For sex? For the meat off my bones? 

They seem friendly enough now, but this all must be a ploy. Yes... that's it. It's all a ploy to make me feel comfortable and bring my defenses down. I'll play along for now, but these people don't have me fooled. I may look small and weak, but they haven't seen the fighter in me yet. Let's keep it that way.

Understanding my Confessional:
Normal black text denotes what Carol is writing in the Journal she is keeping throughout the apocalypse. It will detail her legacy and experience with other survivors and she will update it when she has the time to sit down and write.

Italicized red text denoted Carol's thoughts. Everyone has things they think but can't say, and these colored texts are a way of expressing that and adding to the characterization of the story. 

Blue text represents my thoughts as the player. These are completely out-of-character and not associated with anything that Carol will say or do in the game. Be warned: they'll probably have a lot more curse words because Ryan is not as nice as Carol. :3

They call themselves "Roamer."

Entry Two: I have seemingly integrated myself well into life in this camp. Most of the group is seemingly fit and capable of defending me in the likelihood of a Walker attack, which is wonderful for me. Whether or not I will be ask quick to defend them is yet to be determined. Their kindness is welcomed, but in the end, I'm only looking out for myself.

Most of the time lately seems to be centered around something as trivial as buff-making. No doubt this was something proposed by the camp leaders to get the weaker ones' minds off of the impending doom that was surrounding them. Regardless, this seemed to make the camp happy and raise morale, so a brilliant move on their part. At first, I was hesitant to join in the buff-making, still not feeling welcomed by the group of strangers that had dug me from my grave. Eventually though, I sat next to one of the more outspoken members of the group I'd been observing. Her name was Lori.

She was a seemingly strong woman, definitely beautiful, and just the person I needed to talk to if I was ever to find out the inner-workings of this camp. She was busy working hard on a buff of her own, mostly keeping to herself. I initially thought this was to not bother anyone. Upon speaking to her however, she seemed very centered around presenting the best idea possible for the tribe, and being the "hero." This is highly laughable to say the least. We're in a zombie apocalypse and you want to become the hero by creating a buff (if you could even call it that)? Her idea of a buff was more of a blanket. It was gigantic and highly improbable. After a while conversing and buff-making next to Lori, we were getting along rather well (Perfect, just perfect). While Lori walked away for a second, I actually got in the spirit and began creating a buff of my own. Lori used some clever artistic designs and had more than enough supplies that I was absolutely sure she wouldn't mind if I borrowed.

I have never been so wrong.

I discovered today that Lori was not only selfish, but crazy at that. A little thing such as a buff caused her to fly off the handle to the point that she was seconds away from putting a gun to her own head. Thankfully, Martinez was able to calm her down, but everyone at camp now saw her for what she really was: a lunatic. 

My feelings of safety here have dwindled a bit. Being in the same camp as a crazy woman doesn't fancy me at all and I can't see myself living with her much longer. Her act shocked more than just I, as several members of camp have come to me sympathizing. They see me as the victim, so this actually caused to look even weaker than before. This is absolutely wonderful. 


Something has got to be done though... but what? We can't allow Lori to walk freely around camp with that kind of psychotic behavior. Someone has got to do something... but who? It has to be me. No one else seems to have the guts to do anything about it. I want her to just go away and never return... but how? She seems to be here for the long run so how could I possible ge..... That's it... It's clear to me now. I have to resort to something I never dreamed I would do... I need to kill Lori. 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And now, in a completely "out-of-character" remark, I just need to say that Lori is absolutely psychotic. Yelling at me for borrowing the barbed wire off of her tribal buff? This is about teamwork, girl, and you obviously don't have any. Your banner sucks anyway and I'm not even worried about it. Oh, and about that Buff logo on your design... 



Lori won't be here much longer. I'll make sure of that.

[Carol]

LMAO totally forgot about this confessional. Oops. I'm basically just playing UTR and remaining likable. I was a little worried cause it's merge and they have more members, but Rick and Maggie's little feud is fucking wonderful.

Mainly because it means to sleep more. NIGHT!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Carol]

Awww reading my old confessionals makes me sad. They were so good! I really am a good confessional writer, I just don't have the time I'm sorry. BUT READ THE FIRST TO POSTS CAUSE I'M A GODDESS.

[Carol]

If I had to compare myself to an actual Survivor castaway, I am totally channeling Sandra-amazingness.



I'm usually a very over-the-top player, but I'm playing very under the radar and using her "anyone but me" strategy.
Such a goddess.

[Carol]

Strategy for end-game:

- team up with Beth/Randall/Martinez and evict Sophia and Merle in the next 2 TCs
- team up with Beth and Randall to evict Maggie, since Martinez probably won't.
- vote with Beth and Martinez to evict Randall.

Boom. Final 3 hopefully. Although Beth/Martinez/Maggie have admitted to knowing each other and being friends outside of this. Pre-games suck, but Randall is mine so YOLO.

[Carol]

Maggie got bit.

LMFAO.

Now she wants to be voted out, but I want to blindside Sophia.

Sophia and Merle honor Maggie's wishes and vote her out.
Maggie votes for a random fucker that doesn't matter.
Randall/Beth/Martinez/I blindside Sophia.

SO THEN Sophia (an obvious competition threat) is out + Maggie dies in 7 days (just like The Ring)

*EVIL LAUGHTER*

[Carol]

Sophia, Merle, and Randall are all messaging me saying to vote for Martinez?
Uhm.. first of all, I haven't talked to you people all game. Second, I'm not a dumb fuck.

How the votes will probably go:
Carol: Sophia
Beth: Sophia
Martinez: Sophia
Sophia: Carol
Randall: Carol
Merle: Carol

What they wanna do is get me to throw my vote to Martinez so it'll be 3-2-1 with me leaving. Uhm... no thanks, bitches.

[Carol]

LOL change of plan. Looks like I've got my ticket to the finale.

Merle is voting for Sophia now.
Then Merle/Randall/I are going to f3 together.

I honestly just want to make the finale, but I also feel I may be able to get a few votes. We'll just have to see how bitter/closed-minded this jury ends up being haha

HERE'S TO HOPING I love alliances made so late in the game <3 Merle seems awesome so let's hope this works because I really am genuine with him.

[Carol]

So many options. I love me.

[Carol]

So......LMFAO!!!!!! Merle is convinced we're taking him to the Final 3. But honestly, we don't want to take him because we think he'll win and we honestly like Beth WAY MORE!!

He keeps posting in immunity though and we really don't want to play anymore. So I went to him with some bullshit about "WE SHOULD LET RANDALL WIN THIS ONE SO EVERYONE HAS A WIN"....and he fucking went for it. LMFAO

LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO THIS IS GOING TO BE SO EVIL AND WONDERFUL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAA

[Carol]

LMAO sorry to post-game readers that can see that I was actually just random as fuck. JK! The strategy was mostly in IMs but I'm not much of a confessional writer.
