I think people look at your social game as your strategy, since people will feel comfortable with you after talking a while and it might evolve into becoming allies or something. That's how my alliance viewed you and John actually: You were the social powerhouse connecting with everyone in the frontlines, while John was the head of the snake strategizing everything from behind, making you two a powerful duo and that's why you were considered targets. Plus Kara and Ang*lina to make your Poroto foursome that was super-solid tight.

I also think for me the merge was when I started to lose a bit of control. I mean, the only vote I actually wanted to happen that did happen was Dan, and even then it was unanimous. I did vote for Missy to go out yeah, but she wasn't my #1 choice at that moment to go I think, plus I don't think I was the one leading the charge for that vote? For some reason the whole day of Missy's TC is a blur to me.

Jack I knew had a few connections to Poroto still, and Tommy was suspect too, but Nick was where the real problem was. He made himself my blind spot, and I think for my entire alliance actually.
John gets all the credit for that. Like I mentioned he hooked Nick and I up and the rest was history. Dean, I can't speak for anyone else, but what made you insanely dangerous in my eyes was your ability to deeply connect with someone and how quickly you could do it.

It was my own speculation, but it looked like you and Ang had connected and were the new King and Queen of chat/ a duo.

John vote, then Alison vote for me is where I lost control. Which was ironic cause the results on paper were exactly what I wanted (Tommy-Aaron-Jack vs Kara-Nick), but I wanted to keep John over Nick and then take out John over Alison. But Kara and Nick were immune, so Alison or I was gonna go at 6.

John wrote: Mon Nov 02, 2020 1:22:32 pm The entire situation was insane especially since we had such an easy decision by voting for Christian yet Davie and Alison kept getting brought up.

I still can’t believe that was what lit the fuse and blew up my game with Carl since I was the most vocal of the Christian should leave crowd.
Such a crazy vote in retrospect lol and I only lost my trust for you when everything happened with Jessica, specifically her loud whisper and the idol info she told me about you. When we swapped, was I involved in your post-merge plans and if so, what were they? I am curious to know what you Poroto people were thinking during that swap
Didn’t have time to start thinking of those long term plans since the first thing you told me was a lie about voting for Chelsea. :laugh:

I wanted to link back up in some capacity, mentioned restarting our group chat, and I pushed the vote off of you onto Lauren....but you very clearly wanted nothing to do with me.

I'm still shocked at how quick you were to group up with Nick. That was quite a risk you took.

I try to connect with anyone in anyway. I feel I can connect with most people, if they open themselves up to it. But me and Ang was just social :crine: We probably spoke more to each other in the tribe chat than with each other so maybe that didn't help public perception. The only time I worked with her was when she made that thing with me and Aaron to agree to vote out Dan then Jack with her side just to save us. Even then it was almost like an ultimatum that simply delayed the inevitable.

Just so y'all know if you ever want to play any more ORGs like this, I can recommend some but y'all started on probably one of the most well-made Survivor ORGs there are so you are probably going to be disappointed if you ever want to try something like this again.

Especially, because Discord ORGs consist of like more teenagers and people around my age, so finding 18+ games will be very hard. Maybe other platforms might be better? (e.g. Skype), but its definitely sad this is ending because this was probably one of my favorite experiences of all time and I probably won't be playing another one for awhile because the experience here was so great and I know if I play another relatively soon I'm going to hate it lol

But it is really funny how influential the Davie vote was on the swap and I didn't even think about that until now because I remember how much I didn't care about the vote. I just remember everyone was so torn between voting Christian and Davie and I didn't give a rat's ass who went because I didn't really care too much for either of them.

Fucking Stranded shill.

I still don't even know what ORG stands for. I played this because I was recruited from r/bigbrother and it seemed like fun. This website draws a lot of inspiration from a variety of things, and there is flash and flare, and most of Stranded seems to be professional and gives care to itself. But if there are games like this on Discord... ew tbh? There probably isn't a lot of immersion with that. Not to mention you can very easily cheat I'd imagine and I hate any sort of cheaters.

I suppose they can be nice if you want to play these kinds of games more frequently, or use them as minor practice, but Stranded is the only one I'll ever do.

Online Reality Game. And yeah there are a lot of toxic people who cheat so it is not a great experience lmao... There are some good games though, you just have to find the right hosts and pray you get a good cast. Everyone here had great personalities and a lot of things happened this season so we got lucky.

I just didn't care for Davie because we never talked game. I liked him as a person though, but I did vote him out over Christian because Christian seemed to be open to talk about the game and I could see myself working with him.

I'm definitely pleased with the overall turnout for this season. Don't know how it compares to other Stranded seasons but I think we got it all here.

You've said you hosted some types of these games in the past yes? If you ever need a Stranded vet for it, I'm always free.
