It shouldn't have, but if you were writing that PM as if it was going to be forwarded to everyone, you really screwed it up. I'm sure there's something we could have talked about, game-related or otherwise, that would have started us on a good discussion, it's just that neither of us could find that topic, so you admitted defeat by saying that then ignoring me. Had you kept the couple conversations going (and hell, even one-liners would have saved you) with me and other people, it woukd be either Colin or Eldin in here rigt now and not you. |

"Something" doesn't help. If we don't know what it is, then thinking about it is pointless. At that point it was too late to hope for "something" to save the day. My conversations with Midna/Ruto/Dampe/Eldin never stopped. Colin seemed like the next best target, and no matter what Skull Kid and I were never going to get anywhere. Would having a better relationship with Zelda have saved me? Possibly, but you have no idea how hard it is for me. What I actually did was pretty much already more than I could handle. |

I mean... "I'm not like those people who can just talk for hours, or even get people to like me at all." This is the skillset needed for Survivor. I'm not blaming you: my finishes in Anon Survivor are abysmal. I find it hard to bullshit, and seeing the effort some people are putting into PMs this game is honestly humbling. I think, though, that the early alliance stuff usually breaks apart and gives way to the "Who do I really want to work with?" idea, and that usually ends up being the people you connect with. Consider this: the people you straight up told you weren't going to be able to talk to on a bigger level were the people who would've all been easy boots. Had you strung them along and kept them up with your charade, you likely wouldn't have gone out so early. It's not a matter of always telling the truth to everyone. It's a matter of making sure you don't tell a huge lie to the wrong person. Had you kept up the pretense with Auru and expressed to other people your frustration with not being able to "connect" with Auru, that would've (1) been honest and garnered you some points with people, and (2) connected with the "can't talk to Auru" motif running throughout Korok, likely making him gone before you... |

If there was a short answer part of the application, I would have said this there. I know, possibly better than anyone, what skillset has worked in the past. I'm deliberately challenging the meta, and to me the long term affect I have on the community is more important than how I place. If I fail, then I'm the only one that should be hurt because of it. My plans involved having Vaati and Link around as TC fodder, and I panicked when they weren't anymore. If I thought that there was even a chance that both of them would be suddenly unreachable without actually going to a swap, I wouldn't have said a lot of the stuff that I did. And I am never going to string anyone along. People have real lives too, and for all any of us know making people scramble here is taking a lot of time out of their life that they could instead be using for anything else. If people have no hope, then they deserve to know that ahead of time. I'll gladly harm my own game instead of making someone else suffer like that. Despite everything, the only person I am actually angry with because of this game is Colin, because of the hour he wasted, and the next hour he would have continued to waste if you didn't post the TC early, continually lying to me with absolutely no purpose for doing so. I don't care if people just think I'm being weird, but there are lines that I just refuse to cross. I'd prefer to lose than to betray myself. |

Truth alone can't always get you far, I personally think it's the amount of offtopic stuff that you're happy talking to someone about that will get you far, but then I know next to nothing of actual strategy. (I'd be in the pagonging party of people if I was playing, regardless of where I was sitting beforehand) |

Well, that's a question that I ask every single time I'm in one of these, so I'm not being sarcastic either. |

Ugh...I hated this vote. I was allied with everyone but Tingle/Vaati in the original tribe in one way or another. One thing I value with allies is talking strategy and being able to figure out potential partners. Between wanting one ally from another tribe and us not talking future game, I stuck with the Princess Alliance. If it wasn't such a weird tribe swap or repeated TCs I probably wouldn't have ever voted you. |

I couldn't. I had not lied once. I just said what I heard. It was just hard enough to deceive you with I am hearing Barinade which I said out loud in my living room to be true and that I am sticking with you I just couldn't. It hurt too much to lose three allies (Link, you, Medli) and what I said you could have used against me. So I figured it best to sit. |

"See you next challenge!" (what you sent to me between Skull's "you're screwed" message and the vote reveal) - are you sure? If you can pull off a win without any sort of lies you deserve it, but it's almost impossible, since everything you say to someone post-merge, regardless of how sure you are that they're gone (and even if they are), can and will be used against you. What you said wouldn't have added any fuel to the fire, if you and Skull were set on voting me there was nothing I could reasonably have Barinade do to save me (I tried, but I knew I would never convince him to go to a him/you rock draw). And Link, gonna be brutally honest, I don't think there's a single person on Korok who didn't lie to you except like Tingle and Vaati. |
