Hi everybody! So, I'm really really excited to be playing this game. I've been reading through past seasons a little and it just seems so well-organized and with, usually, great casts. Plus, having chatrooms is so damn cool. You just really feel like you get a more complete survivor experience, which starts off with the division of the tribes. I'm just happy to be here in the first place (thanks to those who let me here then!).
So I don't think I know too many people here. I've basically stuck to ONE series throughout my ORG life (HI ANNIE) and now I'm ready for other things. So here I am. But I gotta say, it probably won't come into play but the FIRST person I checked the profile was Ian. And guess what? I know him from the said series, judging by his birthday.
So far, things have been good. I like my team. Although, to be honest, it means nothing since we're still in the Honeymoon Stage. I've talked to most people on my tribe, everybody except Beau, Nick, and Wyatt.
At this point, my sole goal is to be active, not TOO bad in challenges, and make sure that everybody likes me. Or, at least, that they don't DISlike me. Obviously, this is ORG 101 but I don't really care, I'll say it anyway: You need good relationships early on if you want to avoid being an early boot. So that's what I'm trying to do. And I think I'm doing ok. You don't need to be a social butterfly to make it through pre-merge, which is perfect since I am no social butterfly.
Just looking at my competition, I'm more nervous than usually, I have to say. Active cast, so less obvious boots. But that's not too much for me. I look at them all, and I kinda know I'll be good and go far? Yeah, I'm really confident in my abilities and these people I'm talking to are nice yes, but they are, before anything, my competition. I'll crush 'em all.
I should do a twist assessment.
TWIST ASSESSMENT
1- The pre-merge twist: This one is definetly interesting and I'm not too sure what to make of it , yet. I think the dynamics will be different because weaker players in challenges won't necessarily get a target on their back early on, because we're all facing against each other for half or the pre-merge. I'm rather happy about that because I'm not a challenge beast (I'm not bad in them, but not good), and if the other members of my tribe are, I might have gotten a target on MY back.
2- Death Valley: I can't really pronounce myself on the matter so far. It seems cool I guess, but it all depends on who gets to go and what are the prizes.
3- Purgatory: Eww. I hate Redemption Island. Really. I think it goes against Survivor's core. But I gotta play with it and embrace it. Which means, tring to make sure the eliminated players like me. And try to be good at duels if I ever go there (spoiler: I won't)
And I should do a tribemates assessment
TRIBEMATES ASSESSMENT
Dallas - I... like her. Talking to her, you just KNOW how focused she is on this game. She's obviously taken the lead for the division of the tribe for the first challenge and she's kind of been mentionning alliances to me (ALLAINCE as she says lol). I'm pretty sure she'll be my first formal alliance, which is fine for me. She seems really invested and she does talk to many people, I think. It might be early to tell, but we don't have a greatest connection. Like, our conversations have been kinda boring... OH, just as I'm writing this, we're officially allies. THERE YOU GO. It'll most likely be the first of many for me, but I do intend to stick with Dallas for a while, as of now.

Luca - My favorite so far. We really hit it off (I think it's the right expression?). He is a very cool guy, easy to talk to, and I really can't see myself NOT working with him. Great guy.
Tessa - First person to talk to me one-on-one. Super nice and sociable. We've only talked for a short time though, but I'm definetly looking forward to chatting with her again.
Hannah & Rosemary - I haven't talked to them that much but for different reasons. Hannah, cause I had to go early. Rosemary, cause she's fucking boring. I hope she'll change sooner than later.
Beau, Nick & Wyatt[/u] - Nobody's seen them so far. I hope they aren't inactive bores.
Well that's it for now. I always like answering questions btw, if you guys have any. [/center]
