One Word Questionnaire!

This Archimedes is feeling lazy right now, so in order to make things as simple and clear cut as possible, please answer these questions using only one word or name. If you're feeling just as lazy, answering only the first three questions would still be greatly appreciated.


1. Who do you trust the most right now?
2. If you go to TC, who do you think will be voted out?
3. Ignoring the previous question, if you had the sole vote, who would you want to vote out?

4. Who do you think places the most trust in you, even though they really shouldn't?
5. How strong do you think your position in the game is right now?
6. What word best describes your play this game?
7. What word do you think others would assign to your play?
8. How bad is this questionnaire?

How the fuck did I get branded "the social threat" this game?

Like I'm kind of over being angry about the whole thing since I think I wrangle the majority on this tribe (Theo is confident in Pocatello, and I'm confident in her and Hatty), but it's just mildly annoying and amusing that people want me out constantly.

Seriously though, like, I really have no idea what I've been doing this game to draw so much attention and how long I can keep dodging bullets for. I set out into this game saying "I want to coast under the radar" and have proceeded to completely fail at coasting under the radar, so that's a pretty big miss there.

It's kind of annoying because I've clearly made a mistake somehow in how I've played, but I don't really know what that mistake was or how to improve on it going forward/in future games. I think it's because it's not like I screwed up an individual round or interaction or PM or move, but it's something broader with how I'm playing/interacting with people.

Fun fact: Any game in which I have survived more than 4 TCs has resulted in me surviving exactly 9 TCs. My median survival rate is 3 TCs (I'm so bad at this game lol)
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top

Actually that was wrong I can't count:

REM: Survived 1 TC
DILFY O'Malley: Survived 2 TCs
J4: Survived 8 TCs
Tien: Survived 4 TCs
Varner: Survived 9 TCs
Penny: Survived 2 TCs (and still made merge lol)

So 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, 9, so surviving last TC is above median for me lol. I've also never been first-boot from a starting tribe, which is pretty cool I guess?

I wonder if people are surprised by how poorly I consistently do in this game.

Probably not. People are aware that I'm not great now, and was fucking garbage my first few games (J4 is my 2nd best placement lol)

I guess this improves slightly if you improve the meet and Reck's Skypevivor.

Okay, the biggest thing is that I need to remain calm.

I'm pissed. That fucking sucks. I'm pissed we voted into an idol. I'm pissed my closest ally in this game is gone. I'm pissed that Harald and Monty and Maria seem unwilling to work with me and move forward with me in this game.

But the game goes on. I need to keep pushing and not blow everything up over this. I'm not Jarvan. I'm not Penny. I'm Boudica, and Boudica is still in this game fighting.

I need to repair relationships. I need to understand why these people don't like or trust me and get them to do that, because it's only by other people's graces that you remain in this game. Not being targeted is tantamount. I've survived 5 TCs, and I'll have to survive a bunch more to win this game. Eye on the prize and all that.

I can't lose it. I can't let my game collapse here.

The worst part of this vote is that, even if I come through unscathed, there's no way to not enter the merge unscathed as a tribe. It's gonna be 3-2 no matter what, and that may fuck us going into the merge the first few rounds.

So I'm walking on borrowed time here, doing what I can to delay my inevitable defeat another round so that maybe, just maybe, I can do it enough times to make it to the end and then bullshit my way through an FTC.

I feel like if I set my expectations at getting voted out I will at worst meet expectations and have some non-zero chance of surpassing them, so I'm going to do this now:

My expectations are that I go home this round. Anything above that is a win in my book.

Honestly I don't know whether to be happy or sad with my performance if I go out here.

Like, I've fought super hard and dodged a lot of bullets in this game, and this is looking like a bullet I may not be able to dodge. On the other hand, like, going out pre-merge is bad and what did I do so badly to go out here other than just suck at challenges (especially in the context of me having generally done very well in challenges in both The Challenge and School Survivor). Like, did I just get unlucky, or could I have done certain things better to not go home here?

Whatever the case, I'm not done fighting yet. I have options. I may have to do something desperate here, and I'm not sure if Monty would be on board. Harald and Maria might, though.

So apparently Montezuma found every tech that I hadn't found. 100% that's Klick - really hope he's okay. I know he's been going through some shit for a while, was kind of hoping seeing him in this game meant it was getting better :/

I also went 1-3 vs. Klick at finding idols hidden in forums, so I'm going to clock that as a win.
