 I'm glad you could get the most important plot on its way. Truly this is a Big Move on Survivor: Legendaries. Say, I meant to ask this earlier, but could you screenshot or copy/paste one of your pm chains? I just want to see what your pms look like. |

Here's a sample from Mewtwo. It's a bit outlier because we kinda failed to have those early mingling, but it quickly went to be one of the deepest one-to-heart conversation. I swear to God your pokemon is the most interesting pokemon so far. Hi! How are you doing? I hope you are having a good time with this tribe just like me ^.^
omg i dont really know pokemon but that is absolutely amazing i love it hahahaha So how are you doing? ^.^ im doing really well, sorry about the confusion with thay group message btw haha tell me about yourself, like whats your hobbies and stuff? I'm from Brunei. I just finished my A Levels so here I am to forget about stress! I dig poker a lot ^.^ What about you? where’s brunei? that’s cool, what did you study? i currently work in a burger place after dropping out of studying maths haha, poker is a nice game, i never really got into it but it’s nice to play every now and then, i mainly play board games during my spare time haha BOARD GAME? REEeeEeeEeeeeeeeEEeEeEeEeEeeeeeEeEEeEeeEEeEeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeE We NEED to meet after this game. Let's play some Board Game Arena or Tabletopia, but not table top simulator because I don't have MONEY. What board game do you play? I normally played Sushi Go and solo board game because I am a sad sad person .-. I did Computer Science, Math, and English for my A Levels Board games is like my life, I love playing games all the time, I used to use tabletop simulator a long time ago, it’s really good for the variety of games It’s funny how we can make friends on this but like we might have to go a few months before we find out who each other are Nice, I studied maths, further maths and drama for my a-levels, it was such a strange combo that I ended up getting an exam for all 3 of them on the same day And if I may know, why you decided to drop out from math? I mean, if you're doing math and further math--it's probably safe to say that you enjoy math so much? Volcano feels sad ._. I do love maths so much, but a couple of different things made me drop out 1) mental health, I was dealing with a few different issues and wasn’t in too great of a place so decided to stop studying and sort things out 2) university level maths wasn’t the kind of maths I enjoyed, I love problem solving and numbers and all the cool fascinating things you can do with numbers but the stuff at uni was a lot more words and proof based things, like for example a+b is the same as b+a...prove it for all cases of a and b And then we change the rules of what + is and sometimes a+b isn’t the same as b+a and you gotta prove if it does or doesn’t work Idk maths stopped being fun for a lot of it I choked on my saliva. Have a try at Computer Science ^>^ If you dig numbers and logic but don't want those proof to haunt your life, CS is your friend.
Hahahahaha, see my issue with that is that idk if I’d have the patience for it, I got very frustrated in the 1 module of computing I had So within the module we had to use a program that would code our equations and it would solve them a lot more accurately by hand For our assignment we had to work out how long a body had been dead for based on changing temperatures of the body and the room it was in and we had to show our working out on the computer I worked out my formulas by hand and got an answer that I was really happy with however o couldn’t convert it on computer and ended up having to take that answer Turns out my answer by hand was absolutely right I know it sounds a bit too blunt, but what's the next step? I mean, if you took Math and Advanced Math, then you're not the stereotypical idiot-with-a-misspent-youth. It's just one heck of a misfortune. Surely, burger place is not your final destination. Maybe being an actuary? Haha nah it’s all good to ask, so for now I’m spending the year focusing on my mental health and supporting my girlfriend, current plan is to sort myself out for September I think my thing will be more finding something I’ll enjoy, like there’s no way I could be sat behind a desk for the rest of my life, my mind is too creative for something like that, I’d love to get into something board game related, I think that’ll be something I’d be good at and enjoy, I love creating games for people to play in the form of werewolf and stuff like that, chances are you’ll probably see me running a survivor game in the next few games, already have some plans going haha What about yourself? What do you see you doing when you’ve finished the CS stuff? I know I want to be a Data Scientist, but I don't think I will be admitted to CS because I fucked up my CS 31 A Levels. Tbh, the reason I play this game is to escape from the depression of screwing it up. I'm pretty sure they are plenty amount of board game publishers are willing to accept unsolicited game pitch. I have pitched one to a korean publisher. They reacted quickly with rejection--but at least it's a quick rejection. With the Board Game Crafter, making prototype should be really easy.
Don’t stress over it, you’ll be fine, I’m assuming you’re in the UK based on the fact you’re taking A-levels so my advise here is gonna be based on knowledge of the UK system At the end of the day, all unis care about is getting enough students through the door (unless you’re looking into going to one of the top top unis) it’s more a case of every student they get is an extra £9k a year, if you don’t get the grades you need then there’ll be plenty of other options, you could go through clearing, you could apply to do a foundation year, you could just simply ask the university if they can change your offer For me personally, my offer was 3Bs, I ended up getting BDU and yet I still got in....in all honesty I think part of that was due to the fact that I was homeless and living alone for the last 6 months of my A-levels and I emailed the university asking for support on it, I didn’t know until results say that they changed my offer to unconditional But what I’m saying is that there’s always ways around things and when it comes to the job itself, they won’t care about your A-levels or how you got to the degree, how long it took or anything like that, they’ll still take you on for it if you’ve got the degree As for the board game stuff, ugh my issue is that I’m not really massively good at the concept itself for a game (or at least I haven’t really tried to design one) but I’m amazingly good when it comes to helping others with their games and play tests and giving feedback and stuff like that, I’m also more on the side of putting on events and looking after a big group of people as they play a game Out of question what was your game that you tried to pitch? Ah, Brunei is on the Borneo island ^>^ We used to be a British colony hence why it's A Levels. I mean, the problem is, I am looking for the top unis, and it's not because I want to, it's because I have to. I think there is no hope for Brunei and "escaping" Brunei is a do or die. I mean, Brunei is a great boring country. Any country with no income tax, by definition, is a great country. It’s just, I see no future on it. Like, it’s a country whose economy is relying upon oil and the price of oil has been going down. I think we just registered our first growth after 5 years recession? We are going to deplete our oil supply in 20 years and the government is shit at diversifying our economy. I mean, they are going to double down and want to make Brunei into a full Syariah law mode in 2035 and their only plan to improve their economy is to make Islamic banking as their leading product. The problem is, Brunei’ Islamic banking is shit compared to Malaysia and Indonesia and Syariah law is no bueno to the foreign investor. As far as I concerned, Brunei is a car crash in slow motion and I have full intention to not be part of it. So I decided that the cheapest move is to go to Singapore--so I believed that going to the NUS is my best bet at improving my chance at immigration--especially when my boy friend is already there. But NUS is pretty-pretty tough. I did well except on the CS 31 A Levels and I am basically devastated. If I screw up this, I feel like I will stuck in this shit hole. The future makes me very afraid. I'm afraid if I explain it, it will be somewhat of an anonymity breach =( Oh wow, that shits crazy and I thought Brexit was bad I’m sorry to hear that it’s really bad over there, I can’t possibly imagine what that’s like and I’m not gonna try and use bullshit phrases like you got this, I believe in you because I know that won’t really help in the long run I’m also not gonna try and give loads of advise and stuff because I really don’t know enough about the situation to do so (which btw is a rare thing for me to say so congrats on that 😂 I’m usually someone who gives lots of advice based on my mass variety of experiences) however I’m more than happy to listen if you need to talk about what’s going on over there and help give advice on the studying side of things (well at least I can tell you what not to do based on my failures 😂) Yes, I have a question! Is booze and partying totally worth it? Haha very random question Well as someone who doesn’t drink, I’d say no xD I’ve never needed alcohol to make the night any better I mean, I am told that alcohol will be a huge part of your college diet and I am wondering if there is some truth to it. Like, once in a while I will accompany my bf to make a border run to Kuala Lurah, Malaysia because alcohol is illegal there, but I never quite drink with him because legal age? |

Post by Volcanion on Feb 9, 2019 9:52:12 GMT
Here's a sample from Lele so you're the coolest pokemon i had never heard of until today. steam powers are super badass hope you have a good next ~5 hours and i'm sure we'll chat more after that  also i sincerely apologise in advance if i accidentally call you volconion Volconion [. ]=[. ] I am confused with your Pokemon. What is your Pokemon supposed to be? I was expecting a cat fish pokemon I know that Lele means cat fish in some languages. =p  rawr okay this is even more ridiculous than i thought Volconion [. ]=[. ] I am confused with your Pokemon. What is your Pokemon supposed to be? I was expecting a cat fish pokemon I know that Lele means cat fish in some languages. =p i didn't know that actually! as far as i understand it's a guardian deity of an island in generation vii. i'm not totally 100% sure on how that gen works because i haven't played any of them, but i've used tapu lele a little on pokemon showdown and it's a really fun cute pokemon as far as i can tell all the guardian deities are named the same way (tapu bulu, tapu koko & tapu fini are the other ones i know of) i'll admit i did have a look at your bulbipedia article because i'd never even heard of you before but what do you do? If you're talking abut "what does your pokemon do?" I have no idea about Pokemon to be fair. I just picked the Pokemon that appeals the most to me. The only thing I know is that Mudkip is the best pokemon of all. If you're talking about "what do I do?" Eh, I am just a boy from Brunei. I had a mental breakdown last year after I took the A levels back in November, so this game is like some kind of a therapy for me to just stop looking at those fucking mathematical equation and actually start enjoying life. I figured out there is more to life than Python and statistical formula. woah! you're the first person from brunei i've ever met (actually the first from the island of borneo full stop). nice to meet you  i'm glad you've found something like this that gives you a kind of escapism. sometimes i feel the same kind of joy from playing other forum games too. it's nice to be able to just kill time playing around with total strangers without pressure. I have been told this is a lie. ._. Like, according to my research, they are pretty-pretty good amunt of bitterness in this game. Oh really? Yikes... I guess we'll see how we go. I promise I'm not a bitter person at all. D: So how do you feel about other players? It seems this game is a bit slow. ._. Hmm so far not sure. I like our team, I've been chatting a bit to people as they post (I'm not really sure how to work out which players I can/can't pm so it's been easier for me to just jump on people's profiles when they post.  ) Team Valor is definitely the cool team though.  How do you feel about everyone so far? A bit intimidated because everybody keeps bitching about the pokemon while I am like "God. Can we change the topic? Pretty please? It should obvious at this point that I have no clue about Pokemon." But they seem like a nice people all around ^.^ LOL that's a fair criticism. I think conversation should hopefully flow pretty naturally.. at least there's some friendly banter rather than silence! xD Ok. I don't know if that's a critcism towards other or a passive-aggressive against me. If it's for me, I'm sorry.  I have been researching about Immunity Challenge from previous game. I haven't quite figured out everything, but somehow people are constantly complaining about "No Sleep Simulator" challenge and "Visit Siddharta" challenge. I am not quite sure what is a "Visit Sidharta". It seems Buddhish.
Not passive aggressive towards you at all. ^^ I'm just saying what I'm thinking. Sorry if it sounded bad, I was in a bit of a rush earlier.  Hmm I'm not sure what either of those are, either. It should be interesting to see what our challenges look like this time. I don't know what to expect! It's ok ^.^ Anyway, you seems like a kewl guy to work with? You're up for a coalition with the two of us? ^.^ yusss it's on <3 we need a secret handshake  Is there anybody else that you think will be kewl enough to add to our coalition or should we start small? aaaa that's perfect. you're the best. hmmm hard to say - i don't have a lot of super strong impressions so far except everyone seems nice wanna start as a dream duo? unless you have anyone else you can think of? Yeah. I am on the same boat you right now. Everybody is nice but that's it. Let's start this as the dream dynamic duo. We can upgrade it into the dynamic trio later. ^.^ As long as our third member isn't as dynamic as you and I are. I'd hate to be out-shone. How's your afternoon going? We're not so far from each other I'm currently preparing for my IELTS test >.> I'm taking my IELTS test tomorrow for my university admission so pardon me if I will be offline during the early hours of the challenge. Oof good luck. That sounds like a serious exam. I'm sure you'll annihilate it. Your English seems awesome. Now here's the problem. I know I have a good command of English. However, to get a 6.5 at IELTS, you need to demonstrate proper English grammar. The problem is, you don't really need proper English grammar for online forum--you need a functional one. This causes me to develop a pretty-pretty good amount of "habitual gramatical error". I am desperate to reverse those bad habit in the last minute. ahhh yeah. online forums are an interesting creature because in an effort to sound more personal/conversational, we often actually abandon traditional grammar to create a "tone" via intentionally flawed grammar if that makes sense... =_= Good luck making the changes last minute. I should make an effort to type with better grammar. I might be a bad influence. I should make an effort to type with better grammar. I might be a bad influence. Nope. Too late. Anyway. So who are you behind your Pokemon mask? I mean, I have told you I am from Brunei, I dig CS, and you have a good idea of my age. What about you?
Alright gotta stay anonymousish. Behind the Pokemon...... I am an IT guy and I looooove music. I watch lots of movies and sometimes like gaming too. I'm from Australia and I'm somewhere in my 20s... Hopefully that's enough about me while still remaining mysterious. :3 I'm actually watching a film with my family right now! Do you like films? I used to like films before freaking Sixth Form, so now I'm trying to reconnect with my love with movies. I dig a lot of biographical / historical movies. So things like 12 Years a Slave, Imitation Game, American Sniper really makes me happy. I just watched Dunkirk for the first time last week and whoever the Oscar panelists who didn't vote for it to be the Best Picture is an idiot. I can't say I like superhero movies. They feel...superficial? In terms of music, I dig Broadway and Eurovision musics. It just feels special. I am struggling to reconnect with my gaming habit. Like, games like Hearthstone or Fortnight somehow makes me--idk, PTSD attack? Like, the stress reminds me of the Sixth Form's stress and I am like "Games should make me feel relaxedy, not stressed out," so I dropped them. Now I strictly play Poker. I agree with you about superhero movies. I really enjoy fantastical/science fiction settings but mostly when they carry some kind of relation or artistic contrast to modern society. ^_^ It's great when a movie is an artist's expression of like, how they view a subject. I also love comedy for similar reasons (and because I love laughing!) Your tastes sound more sophisticated than mine... haha. I like documentaries and similar sometimes but mostly I watch fiction. Musicals are awesome!! Do you have any favourite Broadway soundtracks you'd recommend? It must be hard making that reconnection to things which gave you stress back then.. :c do your current studies still give you stress? I hope it's something you're finding easier these days. So I assume you dig Black Mirror? The problem of musicals is you can't really objectively recommend any musical because it comes down to which musical you relate the most. Like for me, I dig Dear Evan Hansen. It’s pretty much the first time I basically cried to anything. I had a female twin sibling who was a drug addict and pretty-pretty muvh a fucking bitch. Her name is Laura but I called him Nigga on daily life because, to be honest, she deserved it. She committed suicide three years ago. So basically, I am literally Zoe and my sibling is Connor. It’s just we switched our gender. I can’t say I missed her given the fight that we had, so when Zoe sang Requiem, I just had a massive emotional outburst. Which is why Requiem is my favorite sound track. The story is Connor is a bitch to Zoe. When Connor commit suicide, Zoe sang Requiem and said that she can't miss him given how Connor was a bitch to her and she doesn't feel close to him. Not really a spoiler so don't worry Let me give you a life hack. Never ever listen to a sad Broadway song during a class. They will assume you are a psycho for crying out of nowhere. Now some people dig Mean Girls. I don't. Mean Girls is awful. My dear Nigga is a dick but Mean Girls makes Nigga looks nice in comparison. Like, Mean Girls is more Over The Top than Japanese drama and Japanese dramas are OTT 9. I prefer to not elaborate on the stress ^.^ I'm here to escape my stress =P So so so many Tapu Lele internet hugs going your way right now :c I liked Dear Even Hansen a lot. but man being able to relate that heavily to such an heartbreaking musical...you've lead Quite a Life. And good point re stress. Forget I said anything at all about it! <_< >_> ^_^ Yeah, I absolutely loved Black Mirror. Some episodes were stronger than others but on the whole I found it a really rewarding series. Have you seen it too? See, I like Mean Girls but almost BECAUSE it's unrealistically cruel. Like a caricature of teenage bullying, to the point where (hopefully) bullies find it outright repulsive. I also grew up with the original film so I'm a little biased on that front.. heh. I haven't quite get to watch Black Mirror, tbh. I have been trying to catch up with movies and TV series, but I am told that Black Mirror is pretty-pretty heavy to the point it's hard to do more than one episode per sitting. So I am like "Is this what I need right now?" Speaking about gaming, do you Twitch? Can I watch you after this game? [^]-[^] I also grew up with the original film so I'm a little biased on that front.. heh. Also, man, you're old. ^.^ When you said you're watching the movie with your parent, I assumed you're the kid--but it seems you're the parent instead ._. OOF I wouldn't say I'm that old...! Haha. I watched it with my parent. But he's like 60 so I guess I am pretty old now. I don't Twitch actually but after this game I'd definitely be down to be friends on like steam or discord or anything like that. c: Found anyone else you want to teach our secret handshake to? Regis has been saying nice things about you. ^.^ Maybe he will accept our secret handshake? Awwww! Reggie is a sweetie. <3 See if he'll take it, yeah. I really like Mesprit as well. A bit struggling with Mespirt. I haven't quite figured out his interest. He said he dig "idle games" and I was stumped what to say next. Omg I love idle games and I haven't even spoken to Mesprit about them yet  We talked about all sorts of crazy stuff, I think if you change the subject he'll be ok with it. Actually now that I'm thinking about it I feel like Mesprit knows a bit about Pokemon. I should go say that in the thread.... Have you spoken to Uxie too? I haven't quite have the mental capacity to talk to Uxie just yet. Mewtwo just offered me and Uxie F3 deal and we two are like "Well, that's weird."  that's definitely pretty sudden. Mewtwo I haven't talked to much yet. Great Pokemon choice though lol. Uxie is pretty sweet. Do you know any good way to keep composure? Every time I send a PM but they haven't responded despite being online, I am like "DO YOU HATE ME SO YOU IGNORE ME? I AM SORRY IF I DID" paranoia. It's only Day 2 and I think I am losing my sanity already ._. No, it's not about you. It's more to people like Vactini or Uxie =P (At this point Mesprit told me that Lele is thinking of {Mesprit + me + Lele + uxie} so I realized that when Lele was asking for what I thought about {Mespirt, Uxie}, he was looking for the prospect of that alliance. I quickly pivot) So I just downloaded Mespirt's idle game and I got instantly addicted. Pretty-pretty good stuff to help me escape my stress. ^.^ Yay!! <33 idle games are great fun like that. All I can say is big hugs and.. don't panic.. some people are more hyperactive on the PMs already than others (I have a few convos in 2 pages but mostly they're just in 1  I think hopefully it will sort itself out. You're really likable! What the hell are you doing on 4 AM ._. Also, I heard that you're thinking of a secret handshake between me, you, Mesprit and possibly Uxie? Yeah, us four for sure. What do you think? Lugia and Reggie are beautiful too imo. I'm kewl to that. I think Reggie is closer to Lugia and Mesprit is closer to Uxie. I mean, we could form a six people alliance, but that is getting way too big so it's probably better to not explicitly make alliance? Like, we make alliance but more to an implied understanding instead of LET'S DO IT! That way if the there is only 6 of us left, we're like in the middle of everything? I don't know if I am like playing 4 D Chess or I am being realistic ._. Hahaha no you're making a lot of sense. ^_^ I like you, and Mesprit, and Uxie the best. so I've got all of your backs first. and I think that flows both ways. But Reggie and Lugia are both great too. Like the problem is I think we kinda get easy boot here, right? Mewtwo and probably Hole. While the other tribe must be very intense since there is no obvious the weakest list. So I imagined the other tribe are divided and I think it's on our interest to stay solid against a divided tribe on a tribe swap. |

^ Good catch, you were giving them what you heard they wanted. 6 person alliances aren't anything people take seriously. Separate 4 person alliances can work as long as they don't find out about each other. Really it doesn't matter, as long as you've set yourself up so if you swap with any of them they think you're on their side, that's the most important part of First Tribes to me.
Can you uh, never use the word Nigga again though to people, that's one of those extremely offensive words you shouldn't bring up to anyone. Ever. People will seriously lynch you for it if you say it to the wrong person.
I think you're doing a good job with message length, especially glad to see you exchanging some paragraphs with people even if you start out a bit slow. People definitely get the impression you like them the bigger your posts are at times.

That's not an excuse. I assure you the other players wouldn't care why you were using an extremely negative racial slur either, so this is for the best. But in general, don't do negative things for the sake of your persona, let it make you quirky not weird.

Like just remember you're not here as a method actor trying to win an oscar, you're trying to play a Social Game. So if what your persona 'would do' is different then what would make you a likeable person, you need to change the persona's mindset a bit not doubledown and do weird bad things.

That's a good standard. More then 24 hours is like a death sentence. Although rather then repeat my mistake i would just prod them again if something important like TC were happening, lol.. Speaking of TC! Looks like it's finally time for you guys to decide which dead weight to drop. Be sure to give updates on what's going on, we're all ears. |

I would like to seek for your wisdom, Madam Shadoweh.
It is prettt obvious that Buzz is going home. However, I am worried about idol. Do you think people would care if the vote is like 7-1-1 with me being the wild IDONTWANTTOBEIDOLED vote.

Post by Sabrina on Feb 10, 2019 4:31:05 GMT
That's a complicated question. The person you vote would care. If one of your allies secretly really likes them, they'll care. Whether you need to off-vote for idols or not has a few questions you should ask yourself. - Are there any idols? You did a decent search, check again to see if there's any secret links or hinky messages somewhere. If there's no idol, no problem? - Are you in danger? Who does Buzz think the vote is on, does he know he's in danger? If he doesn't blame you, you probably won't even be the one who takes the bullet. If he does blame you, then there's problems. - How likely are you to regret making an enemy? If you lose another challenge and just vote off whichever helpless guy you voted for, great! If you end up swapping or in the merge, he isn't likely to stop trying to go against you there. One other question that you can consider. - Do people need to know you're the evil off-voter? I personally like to do off-votes and claim ignorance later. It's not like people have Psychic powers to tell it was you. They aren't a Psychic expert like me. |

Hahaha I figured 'this seems like a swap' wasn't something I was allowed to tell you.
Good news is that you're in the majority, bad news is it seems like you'd rather have swapped with other people. :3 What are you going to do?

I think this is a decent swap. Me and Mesprit has been having quality strategy talk and me and mewtwo has been having heart-to-heart personal talk.

Post by Sabrina on Feb 10, 2019 23:59:54 GMT
A little bit of both. You're selling yourself to people who already have friends now, so it's harder. You want to introduce yourself, make yourself seem approachable, and share some of your game thoughts if you decide you like what you see in these people. They'll probably ask you what was up in your tribe and look for any cracks in you guys.
I consider the first swap like... networking. You've already met your core people, now you're finding out who you're up against because these people can tell you about themselves and the rest of their tribe. This is where you decide what your strategy going forward is! I try to look for people who'll work well with allies I already have. You might decide you really click with a new person and you can pool resources. Or you might feel like these people are trying to blow you off until they get back to their real allies. It's a lot of judgement calls. You're still early in the game though and these guys could be major friends.

By the way since a swap just happened, it's a good time to check for idol clues so don't forget to look and see if anything's changed around the forum. It's been awhile though so if something did change it might be gone but, my motto is it never hurts to look.

Because we may only have 24 hours to mingle and extremely high chance of going to Tribal Council due to Mewtwo and Celebi, I have decided to accelerate the speed of the discussion like this So who are you behind your pokemon mask? Because we have less time to mingling, I will just fully introduce my self. So I am from Brunei. I just completed my A Levels. I got depressed because I screwed up my CS 31 A Levels, so I decided to do this game as a means to escape stress. I don't have hobby because fuck the SIXTH FORM beside playing poker, accompanying my mom watching My Kitchen Rules, and listening a bit to music--mostly Eurovision music and Broadway. Before I lost my hobby due to the education system, I used to play a lot of board game, PC Games, and watching the movie. |

Preparing for the worst is a good decision when a bunch of your team can't play, yeah. I hope you guys do okay. |

I think I am in a decent spot right now? Mesprit has full intention to exterminate the Mystic and Mesprit is traumatized by the hyper-aggression of Reverse the Curse so he's probably going to the Mystic as a threat. If, God forbids, we go down to three 3 Valors, I think Mesprit will vote out Mewtwo because we have an alliance pact and Mewtwo will vote out Mesprit because Mewtwo is closer to me than Mespirit? I don't know.

Oh everything is ok ^.^ It is just today's class is extremely important--including meeeting with my client. I kinda need excuse for not responding for a pretty-pretty long time (4.5 hours). I am worried that the Mystic are mostly on American time zone so I need to let them know that I am not ignoring them.
