You have been assigned an experienced player, Misty (DeasVail), 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.

Thank you!! I'll try not to let you down. <33
A little bit over the years. I followed Australian survivor....2017? I think because a friend of mine was on it, but I missed some bits and pieces.
Still I have a loose idea of how it fits together wrt challenges => immunity => voting people from a non immune tribe out.

No worries. You'll get the hang of the basic gist of the game pretty quickly! I think the most common trap is that people will underestimate the social aspect of the game. A huge chunk of the game occurs via private message and talking with people is generally a very good thing. Also if you have any general questions over the course of the game, feel free to ask!

Last question if I can
I've been asked to join like three trios?? alliances?? With {Meltan, Reggie, ?Deo?} + {Mesprit, Hoopa, Celebo} and {Uxie, Poipole}
Obviously I'm gonna stay friends with them all but expecting that I can ride or die with all 3 of those groups is absolute madness
Am I ok just poker facing being part of 3 alliances?? or do people tend to get shitty about that kind of thing? If it results in bad press I THINK I hope I can handle it. Meltan/Reggie were the first game and I think they'll trust me to do what I can for em.

First off, if people are talking about wanting you in alliances etc. that's generally a pretty good sign!
But you're definitely right that it can be tricky to manage multiple different people wanting to be in an alliance with you. I don't think there's any one true answer of how to handle it and different approaches will work for different people.
As you're aware, the main thing to be worried about here is "what if someone from one alliance finds out about my other alliance?" and so doing what you can to make sure the people that you care about know that you care about them is usually important. I think it's also worth thinking about how likely you think it is that someone in your alliance will tell other people about that alliance.
If a close ally of yours is sharing a lot of information with you about what's going on in the game for them, they may feel upset if they find out you weren't as honest with them. But it's always a matter of balancing how much you trust someone, how much you feel it would be beneficial telling them, as well as trying not to come across as too threatening yourself!
Ultimately in survivor, everyone is playing for themselves, and the aim is to make sure there are enough people who at least believe that you remaining in the game would be beneficial for them.
These are all more survivor-related musings than anything else unfortunately, and I'm sorry to not be able to provide a more clear answer to your question. I have faith that you'll figure out the right way to handle things and I really do mean it when I say it looks like you've done amazing so far. <3

^_^ that kind of advice is my favourite thing. (I know it's past the deadline so I'm kinda just throwing this into the void)
Thanks so much for hearing me out. I think I'll need to be pretty upfront but careful about how I react to offers of alliance and stuff like that - I like to think I can have people's backs without expressly like swearing fealty to them. 😂
