King of Anything

THE BACKSTORY

[/b][/size]



Knox Oliver Pompilio was the first born to James and Priscilla Pompilio, a pair of successful entrepreneurs who spoiled their first son rotten. Ever since he was little Knox was sued to getting anything he wanted, which made him grow into a spoiled and arrogant young man. He used to bully other kids in the playground, but his parents would often pay the school so that their little Prince would not get in trouble. Conveniently enough they happened to donate a whole new library when Knox did a try-out for the football team, imagine their surprise when he got chosen to be the quarterback. They couldn’t have been prouder!

From a young age Knox learned that it didn’t matter the means as long as you got what you wanted, a philosophy that he uses even today. He was also taught that the way someone looks or dresses influences the way they behave. For example someone who is dirty and lives in the streets is more likely to steal. Someone who is beautiful and has nice clothes is probably someone you can use for their money.

Knox is not particularly bright, but he doesn’t seem to realize it. As a matter of fact Knox is so full of himself that he considers himself God’s gift to humanity. Which, in his mind, is the reason why he survived the Apocalypse, because he is too good to perish already. Used to getting by through his looks, money and last name alone his journey through the apocalyptic world hasn’t exactly been the easiest. Yet his arrogance and sense of self-worth seem completely unaffected by anything going on around him.

A couple of his pet peeves are uneducated people, body-odor, and people who don’t constantly praise him.

In the game, Knox will attempt to align with other younger, attractive people and be somewhat unpleasant to everyone else. He is not going to be particularly smart about his decisions but instead do what he wants because he likes getting his way. He will try to become a leader for a small alliance. His downfall should be hilarious if he managed to reach his peak as an absolute dictator.

For the game I am going to try and post confessionals as both the player [Alex] and Knox.
As I think that would be much more amusing than one or the other way.
Also, I'm trying to decide if the thread title should be King of Anything or Knock Out. I am open to opinions.

[emily]

Knock Out sounds more suitable for a voting thread, so I like King of Anything better.

Been a while, looking forward to see you play

EPISODE I

“How can I compete with an Italian stallion?”[/font]

[/center]

The game is off to a good start, very chaotic though. I would be lying if I didn’t admit to being overwhelmed already, not because I think I’m out of my league or anything, but because I was online for most of the day and I left for two hours, came back and we had already lost the challenge and everyone was running around like chickens with their head cut off.

The apocalypse… what place could be worst to be trapped in for someone like me? Who am I? Knox Oliver Pompillio, surely you have heard of me. My father is the main seller of power plants in New England and my mother is a renowned recording artist. You may have also seen me in magazines, billboards or editorial campaigns, not surprising, I know. When you look like this, why wouldn’t I be plastered all over the world for them to see me?

So far I have met everyone besides Mark, I believe, which is a good thing because with the vote looming even though we didn’t win the fact I have been social might help me out. I know already that Starr amd Thiago are Knox fans, then again they haven’t really seen the douchier side of the picture, but there has been no need to bring it out so far. Reese so a little bit earlier when I implied he was gay when he said he liked playing goalie and I said “Not me, unlike you I don’t like balls coming at me.” I don’t think he got it though… I think I’m gonna start making that a thing though, sly insults that people may or not understand.

I have been trapped in this side of the city with eleven others. So far there are a couple whom I like. For example I like Starr despite the fact she is more on the fat side. Is that bad? I don’t think so, because she is, so it’s not like I am being rude. Right? Thiago is also pretty chill, him and I are bros. I also really like Zac, I am assuming as alpha males we are going to stick together, and maybe drag some of the prettier girls along. Not to be bold but I can see the older and uglier people getting jealous of us and trying to send us away first.

So far it looks like it’s going to be Mark, which I am fine with. He is the only one I have not talked to, and it goes with my strategy of getting rid of the older folk and the least attractive people. This game is gonna be such a lulz ride, I just need to get my foot on the doorstep and then I can start doing whatever I want. I just know for now I have to behave, which is kinda bleh, but eventually someone will do the wrong thing and I will be able to get that going.

I think that Pilar is a past player, which means she might be able to be an easy target if that is true. Because the rest of us are supposed to be new, so if we have someone in a second chance despite being a different character then no one else is going to like that. So, that might be my scapegoat for the next round and until I get settled.

Earlier today we had some kind of test, it was a competition against twelve other people. We lost, probably because I wasn’t able to participate, had I been there we would have crushed them. I mean have you seen these guns? But we lost, and now we are going to some judgment thing where we are being forced to vote for someone to sacrifice to appease God… It sounds rather uncivilized but I guess that’s what we oughta do to survive now. So, I will deal. So far it seems like Mark might go because he is older and socially not there, he is kind of like a vegetable which means we have to get rid of him. Because no one likes vegetables, obviously. But things can change, this is the apocalypse so anything is possible, I just gotta make sure everyone remembers that I am God’s gift to Earth so they realize they need to keep me around.

Mark just showed up… fuck my life, things are gonna be much harder now. Not showing up for the challenge might turn to be a big problem for me, hopefully the fact I have been around more than the others who didn’t show up helps my case. If anything I can see it changing to Julian since he isn’t around either… but who knows?

On a separate note, I cannot wait until I get an apple and I get to interact with the snake, who I am certain is the equal to the devil who offers the apple to Eve. Not sure how that will come into play, but it should be interesting regardless.

Other possible episode titles: "Stop being dreamier than me!" both by Thiago.

EPISODE I

[/b]
“How can I compete with an Italian stallion?”[/font]

[/center]

Things are taking a more interesting turn today. Mark has shown up and he is campaigning hardcore to stay. Which I respect, even though he kind of made a threatening remark when approaching me telling me that people are saying I am hard to talk to and I might be next in the chopping block. When I asked who he has talked to, he said Zac, Thiago, Starr and Dion. Interesting enough three of my favorite people are the ones he has talked to, which means the person who said that HAS to be Dion. There is no way around it. Like at all.

Whoever said life after the Apocalypse couldn’t be glamorous clearly is doing the wrong thing. I have a great life, it doesn’t even matter that most human beings are dead. I have a few of my bros and we can hang back and drink some beers and check out some hot chicks. No big deal bro. This apocalyptic bullshit doesn’t have to ruin our party. Especially when you look this good, why would you waste your time being angry or crying because a few suckers died? I didn’t know any of them, so why should I care?

Talking about my bros. I am thinking once this round is over I am going to make an alliance with Thiago and Zac official. They are by far the people I have bonded with the most, and I would think I can trust them. Mark already told me that Zac talks highly of me, which is a good thing, and we have already discussed working together in the future. I brought it up to Thiago as well, for him to keep in the back of his mind, he said he would. I can definitively see some kind of bro-alliance going on, and if Mark survives he can join right in.

That Starr chick seems to be very social, I like her as well, despite the fact that she is heavy. She is hot for a bigger chick though, I’d tap that. Anyways, she is always going around talking to everyone, yet she had this raw innocence about her. In a way I do not trust her, because you know the nice, bubbly ones are freaky. Not that I mind freaky, but I am sure she is one big freak, and I am not exactly down for all that.

Yeah, so Starr… I want to trust her because she is nice and helpful, but I think she is the kind of player who hides how strategic she is under a sweet façade. And in all honesty I see her controlling most of the things already, therefore I should keep an eye out for her and be on her good side, but don’t get too comfortable. She is trouble. Trust me.

She is also tight with like everyone, especially Dion who is already trying to throw me under the bus. I don’t like that, but if Starr likes me then she will keep Dion away from targeting me so I will continue to play that up.

It sounds like tonight we have to exile someone from our group and the candidates are either old Mark or that hot-quiet girl Naomi. Mark is older, but he has brawns and I can tell he likes the bro life, Naomi is hot enough but she is one of those chicks who after a one night stand lose all their value. You know what I mean? I guess I have a say in it and right now, I am leaning towards getting rid of Naomi because even though she is hot, she is also pretty lame and something tells me she is one of those chicks who want to wait until marriage. I ain’t about that life, man.

The vote right now might shift to Naomi. Mark is working hard and people are appreciating that he is trying so hard. I do too, and I think I can trust him more. I would like Mark to stay because I believe he would be beneficial for my game in the long run, especially if he feels like I helped save him this vote. It all might lean his way, right now he has six votes, if we get one more he stays, if not… well, nice try. Last minute blindsides are absolutely my favorite thing <3

The only thing that annoys me about this game so far is the fact that people made alias SN’s, all of them besides Pilar and maybe Bree and yet none of them are respecting that. It’s interesting but it makes it pointless to have an alias if you are gonna try to blow it in the first round already. Maybe I’m just taking things too seriously.

Great read! Keep up the good work and best of luck!

EPISODE II

[/b]
“I’m gonna get by round to round by doing the minimal effort.”[/font]

[/center]

The episode title is a total paraphrasing of something I told Zac earlier when I got to talk to him. To be quite frank, this round I have sucked major dick. I procrastinated on my homework so much this weekend that I had to spend the whole day today playing catch up and it is definitively not working for the best, point and case it’s 4:00 AM and I have four projects still left to do, and by the way things are going I am not gonna get them done…

But whatever, who cares right? It’s time to talk about the game. I have done awful in the challenge, which sucks because in general I am really good at word games. I would say, if anything, word games are my strength. And yet, here I am doing absolutely nothing and barely posting much. Apparently however, others have not been active either, namely Reese and Bree. But Reese was here last challenge, so I feel like people might start to think I am just useless all together. Damn it.

So, instead of doing homework I decided to post a bunch of words and possibilities and hope they take it into consideration. I don’t think Pilar has done much either, and quite frankly she is dull as fuck too so I might have a small chance there.

I talked to Zac today, and Starr. That was it. My social game needs to pick up tomorrow, cause this ain’t right. I tried talking to Dion but the bitch ignored me, not even sure why as I thought we were in good terms. And I think Zac and Mark still want to have the bro coalition so that makes me happy, after the Naomi vote things should look up for me, as long as I don’t become an easy target because of the challenge.

But Reese has posted a lot less and done nothing, so maybe I can pawn it off on him. Or maybe we will win… maybe. I just wanted to post a quick confessional to let everyone know I’m not dead and I am still wanting to play, I just had a rough day with time management. I would post as Knoo too, but I need to get back to homework.

Also, thanks to all the feedback in this thread. AI enjoy reading your comments <3

Wait, seriously? You are gonna make them miss out on the best thing about this confessional? Can they at least stare at me for a few seconds? What? We have to do? Homework? Fuck man, just have sex with the teachers, that’s what I did and look where it got me! Top dog after the Apocalypse, now tell me that isn’t cool.

EPISODE II

[/b]
“I’m gonna get by round to round by doing the minimal effort.”[/font]

[/center]

We lost the challenge. Not surprising considering the strategy that we used, I think we went about it the wrong way. But what can we do about it? Just vote someone else out. And quite frankly I don’t even mind because I think I am completely safe this round [famous last words]. If things go the way they are supposed to be then Bree or Pilar would leave tonight, hopefully Pilar.

My beef with Pilar… well, she got a character who I think could have been fantastic. Sassy Hispanic mami? Like come on, what a survivor archeotype! And she is dull as all hell, not only that but she admits she is a dude, her name is Klein and there is just no mystery to it all. It’s just lame. And then, her excuse on the board… no one was around to help her when she wanted to help in the challenge… seriously? You need help in a challenge that is pretty self explanatory? Not only that but a lot of people have posted already, and you can’t go through those threads and figure it out? Or at least post a chain of words like I did? Unacceptable. I makes me think she is either really stupid, or really lazy, both things that I don’t want in my tribe. I am a competitor [despite my weak showings so far] and I am not about to waste my time with people who are either too stupid to understand a challenge or too lazy to give it a shot.

I guess we lost another of the stupid tests. I don’t really care, it was a word game, and words are stupid. They are for nerds. I am not a nerd, so I didn’t do too good, whatever. It was stupid either way. Now we just have to exile someone else. Me and my bros are safe and so are my two main broads: Starr and Dion. Then we have Bree and Pilar, who even though are hot they are both dull and squeaky clean. Pilar doesn’t even like guys, she told me that. Why would I keep a chick who doesn’t wanna get smashed? Fuck that, chick has to go!

I find it funny how despite the minimal effort in the challenge my name has not even been brought up. It must mean I’m doing something right. I have my ~almost~ alliance with Mark and Zac and great relationships with Dion, Starr and Thiago. Which, by the way, I found out who Dion is and I absolutely adore her, but I don’t want to blow my alias because I don’t want to have to rely on my past relationships. Also, I don’t want her to feel obligated to stick by me, she is a very loyal friend so I know she would.

I am talking to people and campaigning for Pilar. I am using football analogies cause football is love and it’s hilarious. Reese is probably like WTF because it is very clear he is not the sporty kind. I love making Reese uncomfortable like that, because even though he is a good kid and I like him, he got the character that I wanted so this is my way of revenge.

I honestly think everyone is gonna do what I want them to do, because… I mean look at me. A body like this needs no explanations. Also, it’s my birthday so people have been nice to me elft and right, clearly wanting to get on my good graces so that they can be as cool as me. Shocking, right?

Oh yeah, it’s not my birthday. Funny thing. I picked a random date for Aries because I wanted Knox to be an Aries since they are the cockiest, most arrogant sign in the Zodiac, and I guess it fell within the game. Oops?

Interesting, interesting. Despite the looming doom that is coming towards Pilar, things are actually interesting in the game. The rumor mill is going insane. I am sure you guys have heard all about it, but here is the deal:

Reese is [presumably] aligned with Pilar so he told her that Dion was saying her name, and the other option was Bree.
Reese campaigns hardcore for Pilar to stay and Bree to leave.
Pilar asked Dion about it.
Dion told Pilar she was probably going.
Pilar got pissed off and told Dion people called her a control freak.
Pilar then informs Dion it was Zac.
Dion gets pissed off and starts causing havoc.
Gabriel calms Dion down and reminds her Zac is not the enemy, Pilar is.
Pilar comes up with this ridiculous plan to vote out Zac because he is aligned with me, Mark and Julian.
Dion agrees to it, but in the back of her head she wants Pilar out.
Everyone [but Reese] hates Pilar.
Everyone agrees to her stupid plan.
Pilar goes home.

You are welcome.

Anyways, I have NO idea where Pilar got the information from but it’s weird that she paired me up with the guys I want to align with. Mostly because I am first of all not official with them yet, she added Julian somehow, and then it’s weird how she picked those people? Especially when she is never around in the first place, or when we had made it obvious that we are aligned. I have no clue, but good thing is, Pilar is getting the fuck on.

The Apocalyptic world has its fair share of drama. Today we observed a cat fight between Dion and Pilar, it was pretty hot but no clothes were shed. Bummer. Anyways, with this exiling thing coming closer everyone has settled on Pilar, it seems. Bree might be hard to understand but at least she is hotter. Pilar tried some coup against my boy Zac but that got shut down real fast. How do you against one of the most popular people in the post-apocalyptic world? Idiot.

I think my position in the tribe, despite my performance, is absolutely amazing. All Gabriel, Dion, and Thiago rushed to fill me in on the story. They all told me to keep it hush hush, meaning they trust me. Zac also kept me in the loop, but that’s not too surprising since we are “bros” and almost aligned. But I am liking my odds.

With Reese being pro-Pilar, and Bree being somewhat in the outs because of language barriers and stuff, I think I have two extra rounds to further solidify my position within the tribe. Which I think is more than enough, especially considering I seem to be in a good spot already. I am throwing some shade towards Reese to ensure his position drops and I am lifted up. Then once I’m in the King spot I can be cocky and all that fun stuff. Cannot wait.

EPISODE III

“It’s all good in the hood!”[/font]

[/center]

Man, another Tribal Council. How absolutely delicious. I know it sounds weird but I adore going to Judgment, after all isn’t that the point of the game? Skipping Tribal Council/Judgment is absolutely pointless, it makes the game be boring. Sure, you get to bond with people and become BFF’s with others, but it also means you are not really playing the game. I came here to have fun AND play the game, which means the more Tribals, the better.

I think I did great in the challenge, especially for coming in late. I was two pieces away from immunity. Which means that technically I was close. This challenge was meant to prove to people that I could be an asset and I am around more than my previous performances have showed, and quite frankly I think it worked. Though I don’t think my position was ever shaky whatsoever.

We had another of those challenges, but this time unlike the other two I decided to go all out and show these kids how its done. I alpha’d the fuck out of the challenge, I would have won but as I was about to complete the puzzle something got in my eye and Julian beat me. It was mere seconds, and it by no means he is a better competitor or anything of the sort. I think everyone knows it though, they all know that Julian won out of luck and nothing else. The fool better enjoy being immune from Exile as this is the only time he is gonna one up me in a challenge, mark my words.

Anyways, the vote is pretty straight forward. It should be Reese or Bree. However, due to the fact Reese threw Dion under the bus to Pilar last round making a case for him to go has been rather easy. Honestly, I only want him to go because he got the character I wanted and I like getting what I want [spoiled, I know] and thus he has to leave the game and let the rest of us be. I really do like him though, and he is trying to stay really bad, but no one is buying. I’ve been pushing hardcore all day for him to go, reminding people that the threw Dion under the bus, that he might have started the rumors about Mark/Zac/Julian/Knox alliance and how he is not really all that reliable either. People have bought it, that paired up with the fact that the girls [Starr and Dion] really want him out over Bree makes things easier. When I talked to Zac and Mark [who were on the fence about the vote, I suspect they think the girls are aligned] I made sure to point out that we might need those two girls later to break ties so giving them what they wanted is better for us. Likewise it would make it less obvious to the Favorites that we had an all dudes alliance.

In conclusion, there are tons and tons of reasons to get rid of Reese, but the only one that matters is this: I want him gone. So he has to go. Let the iron fist ruling begin

[knox]

EPISODE IV

[/b]
“She is a little slut who only got far from sucking dick!”[/font]

[/center]

I realized that the likes on my confessionals are not showing up, which means I don’t know if people are still interested in what I have to say or anything. Oh well… I will have to live with the fact of not knowing if I’m still super popular.

Anyways, round four has started. I love how fast paced this game is so far even if I have been somewhat busy. But I am loving it. It’s so interesting, and I love my relationships with people, my position and the format. I am kinda bummed I have not really stuck to my character, but it’s kind of hard when no one else is doing a characterization at all. I feel that if I was to become a character then I would exlcude myself and find myself voted out, which I by no means want. So I guess I will play as a slightly douchier version of myself.

Reese went home. And I couldn’t be happier, praise Morgan for that. Reese was annoying, he liked dancing, fruity drinks and unicorns and didn’t understand football or beer. There was no place for him in the apocalypse, he was too weak minded and didn’t really jell with the rest of us bros. He was always an outsider, especially when he sided with Pilar.

I can’t say I’m too sad, I was always somewhat scared he would come onto me because lets face it, he swings that way and I am truly irresistible. I think that within our group of survivors though I am in a decent position, the girls all love me and the guys all see me as some kind of alpha bro so I should be safe even if we continue losing those challenges.

The current challenge… oh God. Why Puzzles? I feel like I am never gonna have a chance to shine with the challenges we have had so far, none of them have really played to my strengths or when they did I was too busy to go balls out. I know eventually one will come, but for now it’s frustrating. I don’t want to work on no puzzle. Puzzles and I have a hate-hate relationship that will never improve. Ever.

Anyways, me and Thiago have been talking even more. He said he was nervous with his position and I told him I had his back 100%, he said the same towards me. Which is a great thing. I find it funny that I have such great relationships with people yet zero alliances, though my Zac/Mark one is kind of unspoken. But nothing is solid, which means I can basically turn on them whenever I want. Interesting, huh?

Anyways, I know this conf is beyond lackluster. But I wanted to post something since I had some time and I'm not doing homework, ha!

[chase]

We are still reading, don't worry!

EPISODE IV

[/b]
“She is a little slut who only got far from sucking dick!”[/font]

[/center]

I’m in danger. I can feel it. No one has said anything or warned me but something tells me that my name has been tossed around like a crack whore on pay day. People are being shifty, it’s odd because I can tell there has been a change in their behavior towards me. Either that or paranoia is the name of dinner at our camp.

I am nervous. I guess part of it has to do with the fact the only name I have heard is Bree, who happens to be the ultimate escape artist. Everytime her name comes up, someone else gets the axe. So the fact I am hearing it for real is just making me feel P.A.R.A.N.O.I.D. I hate it. I hate this feeling because I don’t know if it’s true or if I am simply being somewhat crazy.

I think people are starting to realize how absolutely amazing I am. I can see people look at me differently, and quite frankly I believe it has something to do with the fact I have been parading around without a shirt. But let’s face it, when you have the body of a Greek God why wouldn’t you show it off? It would be criminal and selfish to keep it to yourself, and I’d like to think I am doing my civic duty showing it off the everyone else. Guys can strive to get my rock-hard washboard abs and chicks can drool and enjoy the view.

The sad thing is, we lost another challenge. Something with puzzles, and lets be real here, who even likes puzzles? Do I look like a nerd to you? Cause I ain’t, so I’m not gonna be doing puzzles. Fuck that. We lost, and now we have to exile someone else, and people are looking at me. Jealousy is the worst disease. And they all have it. Too bad for them. Because I am not going anywhere. I will drop my pants if necessary, they won’t be able to vote me out once they take a good look at the Italian Stallion full fleshed. BAM!

I clearly need to talk to more people, and hope Mark/Zach have my back and Dion/Starr/Gabriel like me as much as I think they do. Oh balls, this is gonna be one crazy round!

Also, can I point out how many amazing possible episode titles are on this confessional alone? I think it’s time one of mine gets featured in the episode guide.

[knox]

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK HAPPENED?!
HOW DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE VOTE?
FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.

Time to start idol hunting.
FUCK.

EPISODE V

[/b]
“She wants to find "le liar"…”[/font]

[/center]

Man, I don’t even know anymore. I feel like such an utter failure, in a way I feel that no matter how hard I try I am always going to be that guy that finds himself at the bottom of the totem pole. Sure, I was up and high for a few rounds, but now I’m back in the shitter, part of it is because of my lack of solid alliances but the other part is because people don’t really seem to trust me all that much in general.

Dion got voted out, and while I loved her, I wish I had been informed of the vote so I could have chosen to go one way or the other. It made no sense to vote her out whatsoever, because she is far stronger than half of our tribe and she was much more social than Bree and Julian. But Starr wanted her gone, and the Queen got what she wanted. Not shockingly so.

The worst part is that me and Zac were both blindsided with the vote as well. I don’t understand it at all, especially when our other “ally” Mark was well aware of the plan and he chose not to inform us. Didn’t we save him the first round? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Way to pay us back bro, he is apologizing right now but honestly I am not very pleased with him.

What is the point of keeping your two main “allies” out of the loop? Now he is talking about how the guys have been talking about making an anti-alliance against Bree, Julian and Starr cause they are in control. Guess who was asked last? Me. All the guys already had a conversation about it, and they decide that maybe I wouldn’t be too bad to include. So I’m at the bottom, and they don’t even know where I stand.

Great.

Mark says the five guys would be good because me, him and Zac would hold majority once we got rid of the three stragglers. I don’t even know if I trust Mark to go through with that anymore. He has lost so much cred with me it’s ridiculous. But for now I’ll be nice and go with it, but quite frankly I am hoping for a swap or something similar. I am also considering going to the tree for an apple, just in case. I think one apple has already been taken, but who knows?

Maybe Reese. I also want to find that idol, but the whole process really confuses me, so I might be better off choosing an apple. I just need to really think long and hard about everything, before I make a rash decision.

Also, I am not posting as “Knox” on this conf because I am pretty frustrated and I don’t feel like going into character, I just want to punch people and scream and find a way to put myself in a great position. Mutiny soon, plz?
