Pregame - Roddy 2.0

[Roddy Mancuso]

Well, its official, I'm back baby! And I don't care whether I am called a Sinner or a Saint because either way I am gonna dominate. I will either be an angel of vengeance descending on the house to lead a crusade of domination and glory, or I will be a silent but vigilant assassin that always finds the perfect moment to strike. These people are gonna need to watch out, because I will not sit back and let anyone run me out of this house.

Seriously though, I am PUMPED about this game. There are a ton of huge characters, and I don't think I will have to worry about the issue of quitting this time <3. All Stars is chalked full of bullshitters and comp whores, so I am gonna have to constantly be on my toes.

I also LOVE the theme, and I have no idea how I will be incorporated into it. I think I could easily fall into either category. My treatment of James/Renny/Kev in the game was not the nicest, and I certainly didn't take many opportunities to bite my tongue. However, I was a victim of Jeff's backstabbing, so who knows?

The thing that I gotta be most cautious about going into the game is the part that has been played behind the scenes. Everyone in this cast knows eachother and has preexisting relationships. I have to meet a LOT of new poeple and figure our where I stand with them.

Its gonna be very interesting seeing how I will have to adapt my gameplay, because the game I played last game probably will not work this time. Right now, I just gotta unleash my inner social butterfly, and get these people to like me.

So I have been busy at work getting to know these people the last few days. I haven't quite met everyone yet, but I have met a fair amount so far. I am kinda slow at this kinda thing because I take the time to actually

Lydia

Lydia is the person that I know I can trust more than anybody, I mean I have played the game with her, and we never turned on eachother. It was also a really recent game for us, so that really puts us in a different position than some of these people because we have remained pretty close. She is probably the one person in this house that could easily backstab me if she wanted because I would never see it coming.


Jessica

So I dunno HOW this happens to me in games, but I ALWAYS seem to click immensely with someone on the first day. In BB International, it was Matty. In BBWZ 3 it was Jeff. And this time, their name is Jess. Both times in the past I think the decisions really helped me move far into the game - that is not to say that both times those allies did not cause a lot of grief (honestly I love both of them but they were all over the damn place).
Jess and I hit it off, but I am also still gonna be

I am very happy with this development because I need to make bonds and fast. We have talked about the possibility of pulling a BB3 Dani/Jason kinda thing, and I would probably be down for it. But I am not going to put all my eggs in one basket.


Dave

Another person that I hit it off with. The dude can hold up a conversation and that is such a nice quality in a person. I really like talking to him. There were a few times last night that I wasnt sure if he might be bullshitting me, but whatever, I am sure I am just being paranoid. Besides, even if I am being bullshitted, it is still better than the conversations where it feels as though I am pulling teeth.

To be honest in a lot of ways, Dave and I appear to have similar outlooks on the game. I think he is a very likely ally for me, but I am not gonna rush into things.


Jason

Oh Scott, I really have no idea what to think about entering this game with you. We are friends and I enjoy talking to you, but I know that you know I am loyal to a fault (to my legitimate allies of course), and I think you know I am a proactive player so you might view me as threatening. I also know that you are not gonna throw this game to me. So there is something unnerving about being allied with you. But it could end up being awesome. I guess only time will tell.

I don't think you would target me early on, so it would be really counterproductive for me to get rid of you.


Nathan

Hmmm Nathan. Don't know what I think about you. You seem smart, and we get along decently, but I know that you have a lot of connections so that is a little nerve-wracking for me. But supposedly you and Jess are very tight, so I guess there is the possibility of an alliance. Even if we are not aligned though, I am kinda hoping that she will be able to keep you from targeting me.


Eddie

Gonna be interesting seeing how we get along in this game. I could see myself potentially working decently with you, although I am sure that would complicate things a little with Kenya. I could also see us clashing, but I hope not because you seem like a cool guy.


Sheila

I really wish I liked her more. She is an intimidating player not to get along with, but I just didn’t feel like we hit it off. She never seemed very interested in maintaining a conversation with me. Maybe we will hit it off better later on, but I guess we will have to wait and see.


Sarah

Sarah kind of comes off as sweet, but I do not know that she really is. I mean, I am sure she is a sweet person in real life, but the conversation kinda felt forced. And often, that is my gut indicating that the other person is being fake with me. Hell, Maybe it was just a bad day for her, but something felt off about the first impression. Which is funny because I totally <3’ed her when I was reading her season.


Jun

Barely had a conversation with her. She is not interesting to talk to. At all. Gave me very short responses to anything I said. But I will give her another chance, because it was a VERY short convo.


Will

Will is alright, we talked for a bit but him and I do not really click that much. I think he will slide by early on, so I wanna maintain SOME kind of relationship with him. Sitting on the nomination chair is not the best time to be like ‘Hi, I’m Roddy’.
