1) What is your strategy coming into this game? Any different from last time?In CYS10 I think I had a good game approach…it was just a little rough haha. I was pretty social, and I was good at making EVERYONE trust me. I just wasn’t good at making them not pissed at me when they went to the jury (hi Ian). My jury management has since improved to the point where I’ve got one win under my belt (Survivor States Tennessee <3 <3 <3), but…I’ve learned that in a returnee game you have to amp up your social game.
I’m going to talk to EVERYONE and make sure I have at least some sort of connection with all 23 of these fucking people. It’s going to take a lot of work, and I’ll probably hate myself while it’s happening. But, I’m going to do it.
2) What are your thoughts on some of the cast as they sign up?Just gonna do the official people so far even though some others have signed up. Hehe.
LOL. Um. In hindsight, it’s totally obvious that she’s a manipulative bastard and that she played me all the way throughout CYS10. I have a hitlist in this game, and she’s on top of it. That said, I’m not going to pull a CYS11 Boston Rob and make that obvious. In fact, I’m probably going to approach her and see if she wants to work with me again! So that way, I can stab her in the back like I should have in CYS10.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was pissed at me. I cut her out at F3 and was a total bastard. That said…she is a good aly. Why? Because she either fizzles out really early on in the beginning like she did in my series (hi Sandra), or she makes it to the end and is a fantastic fucking goat. SO, I’m gonna see if I can patch things up with her! Also, her title is awful. Who wants to work with someone called "the flip flopper" :x
she seems nice! I kinda sorta watched CYS12 and she seemed like a loyal person who got fooled. But I don’t really know her.
didn’t PW 9, but I have read the board. He was kinda clueless? Just Kim’s goat. I guess we have that in common keke. For real though, I don’t think he’d be particularly threatening, so I’ll work with him if I get the opportunity.
Ethan was my dark horse pick for CYS12! I think he’s cool, I guess? However, from what other’s said that season he was pretty inactive, so I’m interested to see how he’ll do here.
Brenda…I have no CLUE who she is. I haven’t read the final chapter boards at all (and I think the boards are locked to guests?). It’s kinda exciting and annoying at the same time. I’m glad that there’ll be someone that I’ll get to know vs someone who I already have it somewhat pinned down how they’ll play. But she’s still an unknown variable that I’ll have to solve quickly.
Sean…I love this guy bahahaha. I played with him in my very first game, Cosmos, and we recently reunited and played some games together. Our gameplay relationship has been rocky occasionally, haha, but I hope we can work together this time.
Jefra is broken English goddess <3 she can’t put a fucking sentence together and it’s hilarious. And she’s actually a smart player I think so…we’ll see.
Jamie UGH. Kill me. He was a fucking snake in Gobi, he was a snake in 12 (although I applaud the moves he made in 12, he made that season pretty exciting). He’s on my hit list.
Also why is Jamie's nickname not "The snake"? seriously.
Ciera is interesting. I think she was Mikayla and Mary in CYS11/12 right? If so, then she’s played in my series and played in states with me a couple times. She’s pretty loyal, but I also know she’s pretty sneaky. She’s PMing me right now and telling me about how she doesn’t really know anyone blah blah. I’m like bitch please, you’ve played in3/4 of the seasons. But whatever. She’s kinda like Tanya, a strong ally to have, but one who I can’t let get into my head.
And Heidi…again, no clue who she is. From reading CYS9, it looks like her and Ciera have a feud. So that’s nice!
I’ll do the rest when they’re officially revealed!
3) Who are you looking forward to playing this game with?Honestly? The only person I really WANT to play with is Morgan. I fucking love her and I haven’t seen her in so long. So it’d be cool to reconnect. Everyone else I have a somewhat rocky history with (see: the entire cast of CYS10) or are people that I don’t know too well.
I kinda want to patch things up with Ian and see if we can actually work together. We played together in Chronicles 12, and he stabbed me in the back and I got wicked pissy about it. So I’m hoping we can get past that and actually be like a hidden power duo.
I think the better question is who am I looking forward to seeing leave this game before me...that list is a lot longer.
4) What do you think the twist of the season will be? (Other than the Star Confessionals)Man I don’t fucking know. Brandon your games have been loaded with twists recently, I can only imagine you’re upping it for CYS13.
5) Why do you think you have what it takes to win this season?Honestly? I’m not sure if I do. This is daunting competition, and I don’t have a whole lot of fans from CYS10. I’m gonna try to patch things up with all of them (because I bet most of them want to get out Tanya over me tbh) and try to work every angle. If I make it to the end, it’s because I got a good hand and I played it right. But my immediate goal is to make it to the jury, and then work from there. But that’s a long way away.
6) Anything else you would like to say before the craziness begins?*breathes in heavily*
Let’s get this started.
