Ok, so I see Fabio's already viewing his confessional, and even though I dunno who anyone playing is, sign ups haven't filled, etc, I feel like I should write something too. I'm Brett! Hi! Main username iamsovrycool, probably playing alias for this one, but don't have it set up yet due to difficulties.
This won't be the first entirely self-centered confessional you get from me, but the rest will be less boring, I hope. I'm just going to reflect on myself as a player and lull you to sleep.
I started playing ORGs this summer when I was convinced by a friend to sign up with him and 2 other relative ORG virgins and form a pregame alliance in Big Brother Derailed 4. I never watched BB or Survivor, had only a tangential understanding of the game and was entirely lost on the social aspects of playing a game like that. Shockingly, I made some mistakes. A decent amount of them!
But... I've gotten a lot better. I get the social game a lot more now, and I think hopefully I've seen the end of double digit negative karma!
As a player, I think I'm defined mainly by a love of the game. I've never been as big a fan of winning as I've been of an interesting game, and that's probably 100% the most significant and constant thing about the way I play. Everything beyond that changes. It's probably a trait better suited for PW work or hosting, but I like playing. Even if I don't win (and I never go into a game expecting to have a chance at winning) I want to see an interesting show. And that's what I'm here for!
I feel like I should say more here, but hell, sign ups haven't even filled yet, and it's 4:25am and I feel lousy, so I guess all my wonderful self-reflection and rambling will just have to get shoehorned into future confessionals. Here's hoping I have the time in this game to write a lot of them!

That set-up to start was pretty stupid if you ask me. Majority Rules as the first challenge, and a Double TC? Ah well, I'm more excited to play this than that.
