You have been assigned an experienced player, Crasher Wake (Klick), 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.

Heyyyy Klick I may be pretty new around here, but I'll admit I didn't expect to have you working with me in this game. Can't wait to see how it goes!

Hellooooo I hope I can be helpful! Might I ask who you are? I probably won't be on for too long tonight, it's really late here, but I do have one piece of general advice to give just from the get-go. Have fun with this! These games have the potential to be really fun, so whatever you do, don't forget that you're here to enjoy yourself. Feel free to ask me anything, I'd love to help.

Yesssss That's super convenient actually - we have similar timezones, and we've played together before. Looking forward to working with you! For the very beginning of the game here, my only real suggestion is just to chat up your tribemates. Try to get to know them a little, see if you get along with some more than others, and generally just make it clear that you're around to talk to people. The first day or two is all about everyone seeing who they might want to team up with down the road. Have fun with it!

Yes, I already got started on chatting with the others! Gotta avoid repeating my Luigi mistakes, I'd love it if someday people stopped associating me solely with taking idols home

To be fair, I now associate Luigi with "being really strong at challenges" because of the insane score you got on the flash game that one round I think you've got what it takes to do well. From what I've seen across MS, you're friendly, and that's a huge benefit when playing these! As Kirby, I enjoyed chatting with you as Luigi when you were around, but my main reason for voting you was that I hadn't gotten very far in our conversation compared to others. Captain Falcon, Ike, Fox and Yoshi had all made a strong impression on me pretty quickly; by the end of the first round we had been talking about more game-centric things, like how conversations were going with the other players. Whoever you decide you get on well with early on, if you think they also enjoy talking with you, see if they want to team up! They're probably looking for allies just as much as you are, especially since everyone on your tribe is somewhat new to playing Survivor. It'll help you stick around in your first tribe if you've managed to find people who have your back. That's all I've got for tonight, gotta get some rest. Feel free to leave any questions you might have. I believe in you

Ok, good night! I'm also going to sleep soon, since it's 3AM here. I'm pretty happy with what I've got going so far!

I was wondering, is it considered an acceptable thing to stay connected even when you're not active? I figure it might make some people frustrated that I'm not answering their PMs quickly.

Honestly there's not any sort of consensus on that. Some people get annoyed if they see you online but you're not responding to their PMs; others don't really care. I try to avoid it, but it's not the end of the world if you check in every once in a while without PMing.

At this stage of the game, am I expected to start talking about the game even to people that aren't close to me?

Depends on the person and your conversation with them, I'd say. By the time you're going to your first TC, you'll probably want to be able to say something along the lines of "Hey, what are your thoughts on the vote?" to most people. And as you get further along in the game, talking about the game with people becomes more and more important.
A big skill that has to be learnt in Survivor is getting a read on what other people want. If Ash Ketchum sends you messages about sportsball and the weather all the time and doesn't bring up the game that much, he probably doesn't mind if you two don't talk about the game in the first round or two. On the other hand, if Gary Oak keeps telling you that Brock talks to him a lot and Misty hasn't PMed him in two days, he probably cares more about chatting about the game early on.
Basically, you'll talk about the game with almost everyone eventually, because everyone's here to play. But it's no biggie if it takes a while with a couple of people.

Congrats on your second immunity win! I’m worried about how well your team is doing Really though, trust tends to form at its strongest when people go to TC together and survive. Hope everything’s going well, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!

Congrats on surviving your first TC and making it to the swap!
Second verse, same as the first: try and get to know people quickly. Small tribes like this are scary because if you go to TC, a whole fifth of your tribe is gone.
It looks like you’re with two other members of your old tribe, and two members of the opposing tribe. That’s excellent - it means there’s no chance you get taken out just for being on the wrong starting tribe! You can choose to stick with your old tribemates if you think that’s your best move, but either way, I wouldn’t neglect your new friends. As you get further you’ll need allies from all over the game to keep surviving, and the first swap is a great place to start diversifying your connections.

If I feel like it's dangerous to trust Mewtwo, should I try to blindside him with help from the ex-Mystics, or would I have no chance of that succeeding?

don't give outright advice on the player to eliminate in response to this question etc

With the right argument, you can convince most people to do most things in Survivor. You just have to consider what the players around you value. For example, in a new swap like this on tiny tribes, everyone is probably worried about their short-term survival to some extent - after all, if your tribe goes to TC three times, you’re losing 60% of your members. People are probably looking for allies fast, and they probably want to minimize their chances of losing challenges. Those are things to keep in mind when deciding who you - and others - would want to vote out.
You have to balance what you want to accomplish with what you think is realistic to accomplish. In other words, pick your battles wisely.
