ROUND 1:
Ok, so hi. Sorry that it's taken so long to get this thread up and running. I'm super excited to play and get this game going. I've decided that I'm going to do a tribe assessment over text and then do a video later on after the Immunity Challenge results.
Lizzie: I fucking love her. We have a lot in common and out conversations just flow. She's funny, witty, and chill all at the same time. We've called one on one for a little over an hour and it was awesome. The conversation didn't die out at any point and she gives me good vibes. She's definitely someone I can see being my #1 ally and I want to work with her going forward. We even talked some game just in terms of who we know that knows one another in this game so it was nice.
Sam: Mr. Endure. I've had a few friends play his series so I knew of him coming in, but we've never talked or anything. At first he came off as if he was just talking to be social etc, but as the days went on I actually think he's chill. He also can keep a convo going which is a huge thing to me. He was actually the first person to offer to call me one on one, but we haven't done so yet, but we will later today. He's told me that he likes Lizzie and me so hopefully we can get something going between us because there are definitely a few people with strong underlying connections in this game and I'm not about that life.
Aren: Holy fuck his intro video was a fucking mess. Like I know mine was short and to the point, but that was on purpose. Who tf comes into these games saying they have an amazing social game and are going to win? Oh, someone that was literally born like 3 years ago. But tbh he's surprisingly chill. I guess he's from the org wikia group so I don't know anything about that, but he's the first person I called with one on one and he's fun. I don't see his timezone being a problem for him as he literally stayed up until 7am his time the first two nights. He seems smart for a 15 year old, but he's someone I'd like to work with. However, he does come off like he would do whatever it takes to win so he's one to watch. He types loud af on call. It's like listening to a T-Rex try and dance ballet on a keyboard and I don't even think he knows it.
Steffen: So him and I have a mutual friend in Amanda so that's a plus, but tbh something about Steffen has somewhat always annoyed me. I didn't know him that well beforehand, but he just comes off like he tries too hard to be funny and I hate that. However, he's pretty good at talking over text on skype and I could see myself working with him for a bit, but I wouldn't trust him that much yet I don't think? It's too soon to tell.
Tierra: She's really nice and helllllla chill. On night 2 when everyone went to bed we stayed on the tribe chat for 5 or 10 mins and just talked a bit. I know she knows Don and Carley on my tribe (XTC smh) and Jermaine on the other tribe so that is something I definitely want to keep an eye on. It worries me a bit because if Carley, Don, and Tierra decided to team up then that's three people and that could be a strong group going forward. Add Jermaine in a swap and thats 4.....then I just remembered that Michael on the other tribe was also on prod for XTC S2 and that could be five. Someone could be swapfucked with all of them and not even realize it. No me gusta. I'll dabble into who I know of on the other tribe in my video later though. Back to Tierra, she's somebody that I would wanna work with, but her connections make me apprehensive a bit so we'll see. If anything I'd rather join her for a bit just to make it through a swap/to the merge and go from there.
Carley: She's a vegan so basically she’s the anti-christ. Enjoy your sand girl. Nah, but in all seriousness she's a very tolerable and fun vegan. Usually those types of people try and shove their lifestyle down people's throats and she doesn't so it's refreshing. She's fun on calls and in over text as well. I just don't know if I'd ask her to talk one on one yet and I don't know why. Definitely need to change that though.
Don: The professional text conversation dropper. I know of Don through some minis and he's kind of messy. It's like playing with your drunk Uncle Tom a bit, but I think I can work with it for the time being? Since he isn't the best via text on skype I'm going to try and get him on a one on one call and see if that goes any better.
Mike:
How tf has this guy won two skype games? I don't know Mike that well, but I know of him through other people and I've heard that he is a force to be reckoned with in games, but I have yet to see it. He literally signed up for this org and didn't show up for either of the first two nights. You do you, buddy. Lizzie and I talked about how it's kind of been nice having him not be that active though just in case we do lose, he could possibly be an easy first boot. Part of me is wondering if he possibly knows people on this tribe and feels safe so maybe that's why he's not being that active, but I can't tell. He was in my group for the endurance challenge and was alright, but its like...you missed out on eight hours of bonding on the tribe call and it's hard to make that up. Good luck I guess.
Overall I really like my tribe and we're insanely active. I've been trying to talk to everyone in pms everyday and have had three one on one calls with another happening today so I feel like I'm starting off on the right foot? I have never put in as much work socially the very first round as I have in this game so hopefully it pays off.
