Welcome to Survivor: All-Stars

You are Doflamingo. Originally played by Wooden_Giraffe in season 3, he could be the ultimate Survivor villain. The loyalty he inspired was cultlike, which along with a strong challenge presence, allowed him to make it all the way to the final four of his season, despite being the largest target. The game has changed in the five years since then, but have you? Will you help manipulate his way to the very end this time? Or perhaps do you have a new strategy in mind?

For more information on Doflamingo's Survivor history, feel free to study the character's performance here: http://w11.zetaboards.com/Survivor_Alabasta/index/

What is your pre-game strategy? What characters would you like to compete against? What characters would you rather not see return? How will you play your character similarly to its past incarnation? How will you play it differently?

Do you think your previous play as Doflamingo would put a large target on your back? What are you looking for in your future allies? How far would you go to ensure your survival at even the grimmest of Tribal Councils?

Answer the questions below. For every question you answer with 25 words or more, you will receive 2 All-Star Points each. Answer all eight questions and you will receive 20 All-Star Points total. What are these for? Find out when the game begins!

You may use this confessional space at your leisure. Add threads, tell all. Players will not see this subforum until after the game is over. Audience will not see this subforum until after Day 1. So until then, it's just you and the lurking mods.~

All star points is it. They sound an awful lot like confessional points.

And I see it's word count based. So if I ramble on about bacon for 25 words it would still count?

Doflamingo remembers the time Nojiko kind of sort of forced him to do that.

I'm going to get to that confessional eventually I'm sure. But I just had to make the observation that last time I played was before my not so glorious arc. Should be fun, and I potentially have a lot of minions in this game.

Was I really a villain? Doesn't seem like I was. I mean it's not like Croc and Bourbon were heroes, the duck is the one that betrayed me.

Let's get this started shall we~

Marine Whelp
 
What is your pre-game strategy?

While I'm not sure if I'll have the time to devote to it, my plan is to quickly attach my strings to some of the most worthy people. I don't necessarily need the superior challenge performers, just the ones that are most likely to not be manipulative twats. That's my job. I have to be quick, unfortunately, and may make some bad choices in personnel as their will little to go on. Reach out to everyone I can on at least a social level, and do favors, lots of favors. I also may look to generate some sticky situations for people solely for the purpose of lending a helping hand to get them out of it. Again, not sure if I have the energy for this, but we shall see.

What characters would you like to compete against?

Obviously I'd love to see some of my former underlings joining up again(Lucci, Charlos and Tamago), but I won't get my hopes up. Otherwise there really isn't anyone else from my season I'd like to see, except maybe Domino, she was fun. Seeing the other manipulators could be fun, Franky from season 1, Shakky from 2, Makino from 4, Nami from 5. Would be fun to test my mettle, but not too many of them. Also would love to welcome back the most hated players, Franky from S1, Hattori from 2, don't think anyone has been quite as despised as those 2.

What characters would you rather not see return?

Not the duck, if the duck is back I will make it my sole purpose to eliminate him. Or drag him far and then humiliate him in the most brutal of ways. Otherwise I'd hate to see the sickly sweet players, their style makes me vomit. We're talking ones likely Cindry from S2. No point in coming here if you're just gonna be a sweetheart to everyone, don't need people complaining about how hard it is to vote someone out because they love everyone so much or some crap like that. GTNO!

How will you play your character similarly to its past incarnation?

I will mostly stick to the same style of play as was done previously. Manipulating the masses suites this character. To do it differently would be awkward at best, imagine me trying to play as the friendly, fun loving player. Would make for a strange show to be sure. I got my strings and I plan to use them.

How will you play it differently?

The one difference I will make is to not trust the opinion of my minions as much. While they never betrayed me, it was their foolish insistence in their trust of others that got my family crushed. The duck got to both of them. No matter how many people I flipped I couldn't overcome the fact that the duck wriggled into their heads. I trusted their advice despite my own misgivings, and it cost me. No more.

Do you think your previous play as Doflamingo would put a large target on your back?

Doubtful, it's not like I won last time I played. Since the only person who saw me as a villain is currently hosting I can't imagine that it will be much of an issue. At least, no more than it was before.
Well there was one other who hated me that season, but no one has seen him in ages.

What are you looking for in your future allies?

Subservience would be nice, but good help like that is so hard to find these days. I'll have to settle for active and slightly worthy partners, ones who place value in maintaining loyalty in return for services rendered. If I can't inspire loyalty, then I'll just have to purchase it instead.

You mean 'Would I betray all my allies'? Absolutely, while I place high priority in loyalty to the family, I will not allow it to cause my downfall. Above all, I am the number one priority.

So now what? Do I just sit and rot for another 12 days? Hardly seems productive.

We're asking you extra questions for fun!

You've played in every Survivor game to date. Do you think your other characters will make an appearance? If so, who do you think is playing them and how well do you think they'll do?

I think it's fair to assume that some might. I would have expected myself to be the most likely choice among others, Franky is the next most likely, as the original villain or whatever. Perona was a winner so there is that, but most of the winners bore me to be honest, only real exception is Nojiko(who will only be played if our host is suicidal). Maybe Carrot, but meh. So Franky is likely, Kureha and Perona are possible, would be very surprised to see Mr 4 or Inazuma reprised.

No clue who has picked them. Newbies might pick them cause they like the character. Veterans might pick them as an act of war against me. I'm sure they'll do well, though, they have my distinguished history driving them forward. OF course, I might just decide to be rid of them as quickly as possible. Can't have them beating my finish, now can I?

Gonna throw some predictions out there.
18 players, 6 seasons. I figure you did your best to balance the seasons at 3 a piece, but it likely didn't happen. Betting 2 seasons have 4 players, 2 are left with 2. Mine being one of them.
Season 1: Franky, Kaku, Hannyabal
Season 2: Stelly, Kureha, Hattori, Jango
Season 3: Doflamingo, Crocodile
Season 4: Dadan, Makino, Baby 5, Perona
Season 5: ChouChou, Nami, Helmeppo
Season 6: Carrot, Conis

That's my best guesses for now. Wonder how many turn out to be right.
