Well, here we are. First things first, let's start with a positive: I MADE IT TO THE ENDGAME! Somewhat less positive, however, was that I was a prime target for every vote from F8 onwards, and was immune for every such vote except F7. I can understand why I was booted, that kind of survival story may well be too much to defeat at FTC. Granted, I haven't looked at what the jury's actually been saying yet. Regardless of all that, however, I'm pretty confident in the first lesson I can take from this game: 1. Tapping Print Screen will clear the contents of the clipboard, preventing you from accidentally pasting something unwanted. (Technically it puts a screenshot into the clipboard, but the forum won't let you paste an image in without actually hosting it somewhere) |

...another positive is that the jury colour is still the prettiest. Gosh-darn-tootin', I kinda really like my avatar now... |

2. Everything Dan said was fake. Trust your first impressions. |

Actually that one probably could have saved me many times across many games but I'm bad at it 3. I definitely overplayed hard when I got worried about my own survival. Not too sure on how to fix it given a previous lesson I've taken is "don't sit back and die in silence when people are going after you", but I think I may just have to find a middle ground somewhere. |

Expanding on this comment in the jury thread, I really struggle with keeping up to date on things behind the scenes when things are rolling my way. My view of the Drench and Cody votes were "I tossed a name out to the pairs, everyone was complacent and ran with them because why not". Particularly with the former, that obviously wasn't the case. Had I asked sis about who she wanted gone at F10 before actually putting out a name, I definitely would have asked for Haschel instead. I wanted to get things sorted out quickly to minimise the potential for things to go south, given I'd only just come up with the rebellion idea and didn't really care what happened as long as it stayed on the course I had plotted. Alas, it was not to be. My mistake there was perhaps in being too hasty, but sis was right in that she could have had it flipped if she wasn't complacent about it. Oh well. |

4. Avoid changing plans too suddenly without a really good reason. This would have bit you with adding Rory to the rebellion, and it definitely bit you at F5 when you tried the Shadow switch. You kind of got away with it, but the damage was already well and truly done. |

Oh, and on the whole "non-anon = better chance to get to know people" deal, the final score: Aronis: Trump supporter Bella: Legit super cool, if we don't become close friends I'm gonna cry (we could have had it all...) Bernkastel: Still the best Survivor player to never win a game Cephrir: NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET. Cody: Decent newbie who needs to talk more and be independent, and a pretty-not-bad person Dan: Absolutely insufferable, I hope I never suffer the misery of having to speak to him again. Drench: Never on a tribe with him, so opinion never really changed. He's still Drench. Finn: He'd better have had a good reason for quitting or my opinion of him is dropping even more. Jason: *Bernkastel shoots Jason* Jess: Eh... I'm still conflicted. I hope I can talk to her more outside of the game, but... Lambdadelta: ♥ love you sis~ Lara: I'm gonna say "Ditto Bella"? Yeah, Lara was great while we were together~ Kelly: He's... interesting. Not someone I'd wind up super close with, but he's a decent bloke. Malkon: Never on a tribe with him, but hearing he essentially quit from stress is sad. Oh well... Reck: ...Reck. Rory: He was... cool? Yeah, cool. Let's say cool. Roxy: Pretty sure she hates me Shadow: Adorable~ Timmie: First boot in his first game D: |
