You have been assigned an experienced player, Morty (SaveTheDragons), to answer your questions and put you on the right track in this game. As a reminder of the rules, you don't have to maintain anonymity with each other, but you can't reveal your trainer's ID to any other player in the game (or anyone bar the mods outside of it).
Your trainer doesn't have to confine his/her posting to this thread but this thread may be convenient.

Hiiii
Time to get zwole
I hope you're PMing people because you unfortunately got some catching up to do but you don't seem 100% new so maybe you don't need me to tell you that
Good luck and let me know if you need anything

Oh cool
Yeah I would reach out to the other members of Valooor. I recommend, if possible, at least talking to everyone no matter what. Everyone one of these people could be a potential resource for you. Every relationship can be important.
Even though it hasn't been that long since the game started, the first night sets a tone for impressions, everyone is really excited to start, it's euphoric and people will talk more and gravitate to those they're talking to, so replacing in can be a little worrisome because you missed it. As time goes on, this matters less, but I'd recommend getting your name out there with everyone, forming a good impression, and seeing if you can start building friendships. The closer you are to people, the harder it is for them to vote them out (and vice versa, so be careful). so I recommend getting everyone to like you, which will hopefully get everyone to trust you, which will mean you will be safe and can hopefully get to dictate who goes home.

haha feelers cuz ur a bug
that's not a bad idea. any ways you can get camaraderie with people is good like being uxie's 'late start buddy'
a lot of times when i've played I was PMing all the time even when i should have been doing school or working. you don't necessarily have to do that but just be aware that a lot of people are willing to put in a lot of time into this game so be prepared to spend some time. One thing that I think newbies do on MS that they're not aware of is the amount of communication required. it is important to build and keep up relationships. (though it's not necessarily about content and number of words/PMs, even as I say this. Just do enough to make people like you. it's a lot harder to vote out a friend than a stranger. It's a lot easier to be included in someone else's plans or receive information if they trust you.

What are your general thoughts on rallying people this early to get rid of people? Is that something you leave towards the end? Is your philosophy more just to play the game straight and let the chips fall where they may?

i will give you a better answer when i have some more time, but i would try to let the chips fall where they may, esp this early.

i think it's pretty important to keep your head down unless you have a good reason to do so. as the game goes on, you can get more assertive, but if people are tossing out a name that isn't you, i would try to just go with the flow.

the thing is at the beginning of tribal, no one knows where the chips fall. if there isn't an easy consensus boot (i.e. one person hasn't participated or isn't talking as much, or w/e), putting people's names out there may be dangerous.
If you put out 'x' to 'y' and it turns out y likes x more than you, then you've got two votes against you, and all they have to do is find 3 'i don't cares' or people who like 'x' or 'y' a lot more than you. so i like to see who people put out to me rather than just toss names out.
Another thing to do is instead of going after people, i like to drop subtle hints like "i think 'x' is sketchy" except better than that, like i'll be like "i can't believe what 'x' PM'd me, they're all over the place, lol" or something i don't know.
the most important thing in this stage to keep in mind is that if they like you, they won't vote you out. so just be yourself and chill with everyone, make sure you're still talking about some non tribal things with the people you have the most fun talking to. usually that's reciprocal, I believe.

Why do you think the vote is you? If you're in trouble, fight it! You're valuable as an ally, you didn't get a chance to show yourself and other people fucked up so it shouldn't be your head on the line. Start talking like crazy, start tugging at their emotions. Pull their heart strings. you don't want to go you don't want your friends to vote for you please don't do this

fuck 'em
some bastards will do that to you
i'm really sorry. i'm not really sure what's going on.
if they don't talk to you private, take the fight publicly. call people out, stir up some shit. if you're going to go out anyway, expose things or point out things, tell others how you're going to vote, why you're doing it, and what it's beneficial for them to join you instead of vote for you.
i caution you it may not be the best advice, but you have to keep in mind that if you don't have anything left to lose, there's no point not just doing anything to dishevel the status quo of this vote. Votes can be decided at the last minute. Votes have shifted at the last minute. A lot of people don't want to stir the pot this early, so stir the pot for them. no guarentee, but if they're going to blackball you, then you gotta get their attention!

like i could see a bunch of people who sat down and decided not responding, just make sure it's not that they were busy. someone out there has gotta be your friend and has gotta know it's you, wear them down as best you can.
