I meant to make a post in here last night but instead I spent 3 hours failing to find any avatars. I'll try to get an update on how things are going tonight

Im going to try and keep a running tab on my thoughts on all the players
Cantuta:
Alecia - doesn't seem super invested, not super open, difficult to talk to. Darnell - likes to talk, willing to put in work on challenges, seems like a great guy. I get the feeling he could be a goat, but that's not grounded in a whole lot Fabio - 🔫 Lindsey - I really like Lindsey. Really easy to talk to, very supportive, want able to help much in the challenge but I get the sense that she would have if she could, opposite of the feeling I get from Alecia. I could see myself making an alliance here. Yauman - tries hard in challenges, friendly with most people, need to talk to a few people a bit more.
Vicuna:
Liz - annoying in the main aim chat, but I actually kind of like her. Interesting play style, active, and I could work with her. Only problem being she might rub others the wrong way and get booted Jeff - terse. Not easy to talk to, doesn't seem like someone I'm interested in working with. Malcolm - I ha sent talked to him yet, but he seems proficient in the challenge both on hiding and seeking. Seems like he could be dangerous Amanda - I like Amanda. She feels straight up and a generally nice person. I could work with her. Taj - another one I haven't talked to much, but she seems fine. She made a devilish set of posts for the challenge.
Ceviche:
Ken - ken is nice and we've talked a lot about stuff outside the game. Don't know if I'd want to work with him though. I haven't seen a whole lot to prove to me he's got his head in this game I guess. Don't really know how to describe it. Pretty neutral about him. Keith - kieth is pretty cool, I'd like to talk to him more. Seems like a fun guy Morgan - I liked Morgan, a he seems nice and easy to talk to, but she didn't leave much of an impression Cochran - Cochran seems like a smart guy (maybe that's just because he's Cochran) but I kinda like him. Not a whole lot of communication since he came in late. He said he doesn't like anyone on his tribe, so maybe we could start some kind of cool people alliance. If he likes all the people I do... Natalie - haven't seen her at all

So it looks like I'm probably getting voted out this tribal. From what I hear, it's because I'm seen as a threat in challenges. Which is fine with me, if there's a way to go, that's the way to go. Just a bit sad that my favorite survivor gets such a short run :/
As far as how this game has been going, I apologize for not putting much in my confessional, I've been busy. And that could also be why I havent done as well. I haven't taken the time to reach out to everyone on a daily basis. If they talk to me I'm happy to respond and chat for a bit. But I also don't feel like I've really had any strategic talks with anyone in this game until it's almost too late. I think the constantly changing tribes threw me for a loop and made it hard to get close with any one person. The open communication with everyone made it so there weren't firm tribe divisions because you could get close with anyone. It also made it difficult to keep track of people because instead of 5 (or 8) people to talk with, you had 15. I feel like I also get screwed by the early merge if I do appear to be a challenge threat because now, there's no incentive to keep me. One of the most interesting facets of survivor is how constantly throughout the game it's a matter of tradeoffs and timing, you need to backstab those who hold your victory in your hands, and you need to keep people around to win the tribal stage but may defeat you in the individual stage. The acceleration of the tribal stage to an early individual stage removes half of the interesting aspects of the game for me.
Don't get me wrong, I think Nick has run a fine game, and it's good to shake things up. I just don't think this one lends itself to as many interesting and tough choices as other games.

I've also turned around on Jeff, once we were on the same tribe, much easier and more interesting to talk to. Still odnt know if he's actually on my side or not. I'm skeptical because he wouldn't give an answer for a revenge vote target when I asked. Which if he was on my side, he would want to leverage that. Pretty surr he's voting for me.
Also turned around a bit on alecia. I think shes just been busy/absent from the game. And i feel like she's less interested in personal talk and way more into game talk. She was honest when I asked and talked more once we were talking strategy. Good luck alecia
