Hey Aro! Good to finally talk to you again after what seems like forever :O.

So, for the first part, I do regret taking so long to talk to you, and I blame the fact that trying to talk to and meet 20 people is one hell of a task xD. You were actually the very final person I talked to as well, so I guess it was just some random twist of fate that we both took so long to message each other. I've always been pretty shy irl, so I really do enjoy talking to people online. From my perspective it seems like the most obvious answer ever that Im not just being a souless cyborg. Like, I still talk to Ash all the time, she's not on the jury, so if I were just going for votes why would I do that? The exact same goes for AJ. I do it because I really do like them as people and was lucky to have met them. I was truly hurt by Josephine's jury speech, not because it was wrong, but because I really fucking didn't want her to lose her as a friend. I read that at 5am this morning when I was still half asleep and I immediately jumped up and started messaging her to try and make things right. She already told me I had her vote, so why would I do this if I didn't truly value having her friendship :( . A similar thing happened when she made that post about how she didn't intend to play any more orgs in the future, I nearly cried irl because I didn't want to lose her as a friend and I was worried that her not playing these would mean I could never talk to her again ;.;.

Now, onto the more fun question that doesn't remind me of how I hurt Posie. I absolutely love these comparison questions so here goes!!



Yasmin - Zane Knight - Lisa Simpson: Yasmin really didn't seem to be on the outs of the tribe at all until she called out my "Mistake". Simiarily, Zane wasn't in any danger until he started talking too much and got his foot stuck in his mouth. Now, she's like Lisa because Lisa is also someone who is lovable, but a bit naggy and probably would do better for herself if she wasn't so insistant on calling out others mistakes.

Patrick - Sugar Kiper (HvV) - Hawkeye: Patrick was like sugar in that no one had much faith in him going into this season sadly (Apparently nobody picked him for the draft). Also, in HvV, Sugar really tried hard to align with Colby, which ended up screwing her because Colby didn't want to work with her. Similarily, Patrick tried to help Jess out because he wanted to work with her, only to have her and a bunch of others vote him out. I feel like Patrick, like Hawkeye, never got the recognition he deserved. From when I talked to him I got the feeling he had a lot of potential, but like I said earlier, no one believed in him, but given more of a chance I think we totally would have kicked ass. Also, and Im really sorry to say this, he is one of the less memorable characters this season and Hawkeye, until getting his own show and comic reboot, was one of the less memorable Avengers.

Avory - Sandy Burgin - Woody Woodpecker: I never knew you too well, but one time you sand a Nicki Minaj song in the chat, and I saw you in tempest, so I know you were a bit crazy, but in a good way, hence why I chose sandy and Woody.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Jordan - Spencer (Tocantins) - Any wacky friend character who appears for a scene or two early in a movie but then is never heard from again: <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">So Jordan was just kind of there always. Like, he was a cool guy who I wanted to work with, but his flame burned out quick and now he's gone forever ;.;.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Ash - Sandra Diaz-Twine - Frankie Dolye (Wentworth): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">So the comparison to Sandra for me is way to obvious. First off, early on in this game I honestly felt Ash was the most likely player to win this game out of everybody, and Sandra won twice. Both also had a very cool and nice side if you were their friend, and they would be friends with anyone who tried to be, but fuck with them and you were gonna meet some scorn >:D. She was tough as nails and cool as a cucumber. Now, this is similar to Frankie Doyle from the TV drama Wentworth as well. Frankie basically a leader in the prison the show takes place in, and also has that fiery side, but also will be kind as possible until you give her reason not to be.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">AJ - Julia Sokolowski - Curtis Lemanski (The Shield): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Compairing AJ to Julia is soley from my perspective if I were Michele. I absolutely loved AJ and having to vote him off was terrible, even though he wasn't mad and was aware I was going to do it :( . In the Shield Curtis was a tough guy who was clearly pretty smart, but had a really emotional side, and to talk about it too much would have some serious spoilers for the greatest tv show ever made, so I'll leave it at that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Zak - Laura Boneham - Jacob Marley: <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Zak was someone who would go around and spill the beans about everything on the drop of a dime, kind of like how Laura Boneham screwed herself by warning Vytas about the girls alliance that was voting for him. And although he was a bit too gossipy, he was actually super social and a really cool guy. He also just missed out on the jury like Laura. He's like Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol because even though he's gone, for some odd reason I feel like his spirit is still here :^).

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Will - Woo - Gavroche (Les miserables):   <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Will was probably the most loyal person in the game from what I could tell. When he was with someone he was going with them to the death like Woo with Tony. Hell, Will even had Dani make his parchments for him. He was like Gavroche in that Gavroche was also loyal to the point of running out into a warzone to throw some ammo back to his allies, he was also the first major character to die in Les Mis and was Martyrized by his peers similar to how Will was to the Sumbawacats.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Aro - Jeff Varner - Kefka (FFVI): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> I had always seen Aro as the chessmaster of his alliance, and I was actually very affraid of if you went against me in the pretribe phase, but like Jeff Varner he maybe went a bit to hard at the wrong time in trying to juggle all his pieces that it all ended up collapsing upon him when his alliance voted him out. Well, that's at least how I hear that tribal went down according to Posie and CJ. And as the chessmaster archetype and the fact that I'm a huge nerd, I can't help but compair you to one of the most popular video game chessmasters of all time who was always schemeing and living right on the edge of some schemes. If Buru had won more, or if your playing people against each other worked I think you probably could have taken complete control of the game, like how when Kefka's rise to basically controlling the world through high risk, high reward plan.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Andy - Joe Algrim  - Lindsey Wier (Freaks and Geeks): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Andy was a challenge beast, but kinda like Joe, I never truly knew where his head was at in the game. In his jury speech he claimed to trust me, but whenever I tried to talk game he seemed to kinda change the subject. Still, he was a super friendly guy who I loved to joke around with when I wasn't talking game

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">CJ - Ken Hoang - Captain N the Game Master: <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Do I even need to explain, a lot of our talks were about gaming :^) . If I had to pick another survivor it would be Charlie also from Gabon, you just didn't have the numbers when the time came down to who had to go and you were a big threat socially

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">PJ - Michael Snow - Rorschach (Watchment): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">He is like Michael Snow in that he was an all around player who seemed to have a good grasp of everything, and maybe a bit of a bitchy side (This isn't an insult, I found it funny). I would also compair him to Rorschach in that he seems to really be an anti hero. Sure, he's mad at the people who were assholes to his friends, but he is hardly afraid to fight back hard when he gets the chance and he seems apathetic to those in the middle (Ie me :P ).

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Josephine - Randy Bailey - Sylvanis Windrunner (Warcraft): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Randy was a hugely intelligent and hard working player, who you may or may not remember for no being affraid to speak his mind. He is also one of my favourite survivors of all time. I think it fits Posie well. Both also were at one point in possesion of fake idols, and gave one hell of a jury speech. All the while being a Villain who you could root for and really feel sympathy for when the others ganged up on them. Sylvanis died and came back to be the biggest thorn in the side of those who wronged her using clever military strategy to turn a small band of rebel undead into a giant powerhouse.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Jess - Johnny Fairplay - Hugo Strange (Batman): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">You were a very smart player who was often able to force her way into alliances and keep yourself in a great position like Fairplay. You're social game is also super on point in the same way that his was. Hugo Strange I thought fit due to his high intelligence and ability to make his enemies ruin each other while he sits back and watches.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Lexus - Natalie Tenerelli - Boba Fett (Starwars): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">I'm sorry Lex, but your game seemed to just be do whatever Tyler told you that round, and just like Nat Ten that got you far, but not as a hugely respected player. Boba Fett from Starwars didn't have a huhe plotline in the original starwar's besides working for the sith either, but still having a pretty big impact on the story.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Dani - Cirie Fields - Abel (Biblical Fable): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Dani you were just so likeable that once about final 7 hit you always had a giant target on you. You match Cirie in that you were smart and likable, and in the Bible Abel's whole story is about how he is just so loved by everyone that his brother Cain gets jealous and kills him. Kind of like how most of your alliance turned on you out of fear that you would win the vote.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Joshua - Fishbach - Sarah Kerrighan (Starcraft Broodwar): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">In Broodwar, Kerrighan was a political Genius who turned her enemies against each other so that she could basically easily defeat them all exactly how you were able to pretty much do by running the middle of the two alliances from F7 onwards. And Fishbach you clearly see the comparion yourself but I'll say it anyways. You got to the end with a hugely underrated social game and basically winning or losing for you came down to the final immunity challenge and if anyone but me won it, because if I lost you would be sitting here instead of me, and you would likely sweep the votes.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Brian - Abi Maria - Isao Kako (Bokurano): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Sorry Brian, as you've said we are still friends and will be tight again once the game is over and all the apologies have been made and stuff, but I honestly felt you seemed like a whiny, not very nice person who was able to give out insults but not take them. These traits fit with both the characters.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Ty - Sash Lenahan - Prince Lacroix (Vampire the Masquarade Bloodlines): <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">You were always able to think of plans, and you could get close to them succeeding, but you never really accounted for the human aspect of those around you and how it would all come colapsing in on itself. Sash got to the end and didn't get any votes, it wouldn't suprise me at all if you get votes, however, I feel you were just too dehumanizing to a lot of people that you won't be able to have the grand plan succeed. Similar to the ark of Lacroix where in the end everyone is seemingly against him right as his plan came together but it all gets ruined. (PS to everybody, play Bloodlines, the ending is a bit rushed but the game is incredible for the rest of the story and is one of the most immersive hidden gems out there)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Linus - Chicken Morris - The Pilsbury Doughboy: <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">I feel like no explaination is needed here. Jk, I just don't feel I should compair myself to people, but I'm excited to see what Ty and Brian say!!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Thanks for the fun question Aro, I had a great time thinking of all these :D.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Psssst, read Andy's jury speech, you don't have to worry about me getting a perfect win so go for it and vote me :P.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Jk, do whatever you feel is best, but I would really appreciate the vote. Have a good one man, I look forward to talking to you more on the other side :D )
