Board Thread:Survivor 26: Chaos/@comment-31624573-20170821074031

Howdy gang. Chaos is almost over, the end is in sight... I highkey wish it could last forever! We all love each other so much and never fight, it's not often you get something special like that in an ORG. Don't even get me started on the amazing twists this season, I could go on for hours. Every season should have Chaos's format :~)

All jokes aside this is a fun and trifling cast so here's my little ROP.

Stephen

Sadly the instant double boot came down to two factors: who stood out or appeared inactive. You were a friendly, goofy guy and I’d be interested to see how you would’ve played had the groupthink on the first vote not fallen against you.

Jacob

I tried to name the merged tribe after you in honour of your revolutionary gameplay during the first vote. I’m also glad we cleared things up once you left though, and if the dubious claims you made in your accidental anarchy VL were true and hadn’t been broadcast to everyone, maybe you had potential to be a dangerous player.

Rafael

You lived on as a bit of a meme throughout the game due to your slightly robotic talking style, and I appreciate you for that. Nice guy too. Gone too soon in the battle of the challenge beasts.

Erin

I think we had a total of one conversation throughout the game - I just checked and it was strategy based so I don’t know a whole lot about you haha. I understand that you were busy and had to quit though, I respected that, these ORGS are a time sink if you want to do well.

Matthias

You’re a funny guy and a fellow Subway worker (until I got fired not long after I fucked you over, maybe it was karma). Sorry for setting up a plan with you and then doing the opposite though. I felt like it would be more strategically beneficial for me in the long run to keep Alex… I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but there was something about you I couldn’t trust.

Christina

Well we have a bit of a trifling association with one another now don’t we… I feel like I have the eyes of the ORG law on me as I type this. But like I said when I first met you, I think it’s cool that someone your age is playing ORGs and I think you’re a nice person!

Whitney

Two words. Challenge. Beast. But nah I found you to be an entertaining presence in the tribe chat and even though we didn’t really talk privately I think you made a fun contribution to this season. Ya’ll ugly.

Matt

Matt, you were an earnest player, friendly and a massive threat. I thought you demonstrated a lot of potential to be a late gamer in the pre-merge, everyone said they liked you and trusted you and you appeared to be strategically adept! Gone too soon, although I knew you were bad news for my game so I’m low key happy you left when you did haha.

Bradley

I liked you the moment you said “I despise small talk.” We were low key allies and worked well together after being paired together on Pukalani, which had the most underwhelming colour of all the options, grey. In a similar vein to Matt I think you had potential to be a force this season, and you were perhaps more subtle than Matt so I think you could’ve gone far if not for getting idol’d out.

Gabe

Super friendly and hilarious guy. I didn’t expect you to leave when you did — you were both likeable and not really on anyone's radar as a target. I’m fairly sure your demise was more by proxy of being associated with alleged members of the #AllMaleChallengeBeast alliance. King of wings.

Mikey

Mikey! Thanks for being on my side during that horrific Ewa configuration. You were a nice, likeable guy who chimed in every now and then with funny one liners in the main chat, and I’m glad I got to align with you for that short period of time. Also king of ponderosa and the only other Australian in the cast.

Nic

Nic I think by the end of your run you kind of turned into a bit of an anti-hero and redeemed yourself in the eyes of many in the tribe. You’re a cool guy and self aware and I could see you potentially winning a season. After the “all male challenge best” thing got leaked you did turn into a bit of a tinfoil hat wearing paranoia factory for a while but like I said, you redeemed yourself. Also I’ll say for the 10th time that your mangatar was the best.

Eve

Hello there Eve… well, you and I both know we didn’t really have a relationship or get to know each other at all so I won’t beat around the bush or try puff smoke to you because it would be super transparent jury pandering haha. Our main form of communication was arguing about the game and by the time you left I guess you could say we were arch nemeses lol. Who knows, we might end up having more in common than we thought if we talk after the game, I’m open to it and don’t hold grudges :)

Wendy

Hey Wendy, although we didn’t talk much, we did have somewhat of a working relationship in the early to mid pre-merge and I found you to be a friendly and pleasant low key presence in the game, and also strategically astute. I can see how you’ve made the end of other games so many times. We kind of ended on bad terms because I had a terrible read in thinking that suggesting realigning because Eve was gone was a good idea, but I wasn’t trying to be an asshole or anything, I apologise if it came across that way. From my perspective, I just figured that since our main conflict of interest was gone (Eve) and the spice hoes were scuttled, you would be receptive to reconnecting and possibly making a move or something, but I probably failed to consider the nuances of the situation.

Kyle

Kyle, I think you’re a nice guy whomst scrapped your way through quite a few tribals when you were on the chopping block, so I respect you for that. We did talk semi-regularly early on in game but that obviously dropped off as our trust dwindled so yeah. We also had a few arguments but like we both said, they were purely game related, I have nothing against you personally and you seem to be an active presence in the ORG community so that's cool and we might cross paths again!

David

David, you were my favourite ally and person in this game hands down. At the beginning, I totally thought you were just systematically messaging everyone for that #socialgame which may have been true to an extent, but I came to find that you’re also just a friendly, funny, intelligent guy and I loved that we had a similar strategic outlook and approach to strategy. I enjoyed ping ponging ideas off each other and talking through votes with you for that reason. It might sound weird me saying all this given that we trusted each-other and I just kinda fucked you over like it was nothing at f7 but it wasn’t a good feeling, no one relished in that vote, but like I’ve said to some people, the fact that we felt that way spoke to the effectiveness of your social game and hence threat level, so I kind of had to make the conscious decision to step out of your shadow.

Aras

Aras! We were allies from the beginning and I think you played the middle pretty seamlessly but obviously that means you have to cut more ties than others, while you might not have been the biggest jury threat left I think your ability to win out to the end with a few moves under your belt eclipsed the threat of taking out Alex for example. You’re fun to play with and talk to about non in-game stuff and I totally called that you played the idol on Kyle the day it happened, but people wouldn’t believe me lol. Also sorry for bombarding you with those random messages while I was drunk last night, we literally live on different continents I have no idea why I turned to you for help to get out of a nightclub and I honestly have no recollection of sending you that stuff hahaha.

Alex

Alex you’re a sweet, intelligent guy with a killer social game and I enjoyed being your ally throughout the game (even though everything told to you would spread to the end of the earth and back in a matter of seconds ;) ).  I think you played quite well, it seemed like you were playing every single side at any given moment which put forth an element of distrust, but had you made the end I think you had an impressive game to sell.
