The Jury Speaks

Postby Cecilia » Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:09:05 pm

These are my RANKS right now, from someone who was somehow close to the majority alliance.

1-Cassandra: Great capacity to control the votes, ballsy and confident enough to call the shots. Can't see these people going after her, they need her or they wouldn't know what to do. She has so much self-given power. She's killing everyone here.
2-Penner: Penner's social game improved a lot, he was always a leader and found himself in a strong position everywhere he went. His absence will help him get under the radar and minimize the target off his back, but I don't think it will help him win him the title of Sole Survivor. He need to show up more.
3-Candice: I really hope her "I play with my emotions" speech was utter bullshit because she has potential. She needs to backstab someone and lie a bit more, that'd complete her gameplay for me. (I don't count as a backstab, I targeted her first). She will win this if she can get to the end with anyone except the first two, and especially Cass. Her social game is the best out there. Or at least that's my perception.
4-Rocky: Even though he was "at the bottom" there's no doubt in my mind he could resurge and find some new firends. His personality rocks and he's half under the radar, half a good and fluid social game. I respect his game.
5-Nate: The guys knows what he's doing. He's playing the under the radar part beautifully. He's letting others chose who's going home, he's letting them put themselves in a power position and make themselves a threat. He's great at challenges. His PM game is not the best but he's funny enough. I really trusted him, so he's a good liar. I think he has potential to have a Sandra game, where he's doing a lot but it seems he isn't. It's easier to get to the end this way and it's more effective. But I'd give my vote to someone that made it to the end with a target on their backs.
6-Stacy: The only reason I include her here is because she's been so absent yet she rarely found herself at the bottom. I respect that. She's likable and has a good enough social play. She's an underestimated challenge beast. My only problem with her is her lackluster strategical play. She reached Nate the second we swapped into Mykines 2.0 and offered him to join the original Mykines saying they'd be a "strong four". Eh, no. She's not creative when it comes to forming alliances. She's dull.
7-Rebecca: When it comes to making it to the end, she's a 10. Can't see anybody gunning for her right now. But I think her under the radar game is not intentional. So when it comes to winning, she's down there. Or nowhere. She hasn't pissed anybody off though.
8-Liliana: I'm trying not to be rude because the game is over but I just can't see her as anything else but a goat here. And her social game wasn't that good either.
9-Jessica: I'm surprised she's down here. But she is. Her social game was better early on. I really wanted to get her out when we lost during episode 4 but I ended up considering her a possible strong ally. Everybody loved her. We became close, but when we merged I felt some dislike towards her. The fact that she really thought she had any kind of say inside of an alliance she had just joined is the single most stupidest thing out there. How she was crying at how bad the people from Svinoy where. It's the game. She was a crybaby. Her hate towards Steph was stupid, well that's just personal because my plan could've worked and she ruined it for me.

After she was dead set on Steph and I had to surrender, we became a bit distant. The last day I was out there I had spontaneous chats with everyone. Including Cass, Candice, Nate, Rocky, Penner and Stacy. All of them voted for me. I respect that, we were so cool I didn't see it coming. Yet Jess didn't say a word to me all day. I think she is just being a baby. And her social play went from friendly to total brat. BESIDES, it annoys me so much that she says she's done EVERY tribal she isn't immune. She isn't a jury threat right now.

Candice is my number 1 now. For sure. She has voted two people who were close to her back to back.

There are so many people with a tiny chance of getting my vote right now, and it isn't even about being bitter...

Stacy Sent me ONE pm during the merge, and ignored all of my other ones. Why would I vote for her? I don't care if she proves to be a "Strategic mastermind" because the social game is just as important. As Russel Hantz tells us, you can't win on "strategy" alone.

Nate Pretty much the same as Stacy... "I'm going out to eat tonight" can only be interesting for 1 or 2 PM's. Not 15.

Penner Might get my vote because he actually MADE THE EFFORT TO GET TO KNOW ME but he wasn't online at all for like 4 rounds of the merge so idk if I could reward him with a vote.

Rocky He was my ally... but what is he doing? He seemed to be offline most of the time when I was voted off.

Rebecca Always away... but at the very least she was always able to PM me once a day... and she's never been on the chopping block to go despite being associated with "Svinoy 2.0" which could be seen as impressive... though again, she is building up to be "The Season Goat" and would need a good FTC speech.

Candice Same as what I said about Cassandra... boring if she wins. She also NEVER resonated a personal connection with me. It was robotic and forced from day 1. It'll be annoying if people just let her waltz to the end... but I guess I'd be obligated to give her my vote?

Jessica She does a really good job of putting up a smokescreen to make herself look like a "big player," and I honestly don't think she's doing much AT ALL. Plus she didn't even care in the slightest about burning FOUR OUT OF FIVE bridges on the jury so far... she's like a Russel Hantz who isn't even good strategically and relies on challenges to make it further in the game. Next.

Eh, she was never targeted because she was so non-threatening, but she was like the backup backup choice a lot of the time.

I kept thinking she was playing a great UTR game and "playing all the sides" and all that icon_no

Rebecca's always been on the bottom until now (because she's dead weight).
Right now I could see Candice, Penner, Nate and Rocky as winners. Yes, Nate doesn't have the best social game but he has the Sandra game for sure, he's smarter and wittier than he seems to be.

Honestly, you're updating based on the perception of the people still in the game? I disagree. Candice is still 1st, Penner and Nate are second and third, but just faaaaaaaaaaaaaar, far away from Candice. Rocky is a mistery but I'm willing to give my vote to him too, that could change. Rebecca and Stacy aren't threats at all.

well for me Penner took a lot of time to get to know me, whereas Candice was "strategy" the whole time, and she was lying to me all along.

So I found my connection with Penner to be a lot more genuine, and I think he's playing a good game as well

I'll explain later, but I gotta go to bed. Bye everyone. Also I'm glad I was notable enough for last place in your rankings!

The lying part was part of the game and yes, Candice lied to me a long way too. I do feel she was too strategy friendly talk too, I felt the same with Penner tho. Yet I think that's just personal, not something that could steal the win from them... I think you're approaching the vote in a very personal way, but that's OK.

Ya, I'm probably going to put more weight on the emotional connection than the pure strategy, but that's just me.

1. Penner icon_wub
2. Candice icon_yawn
3. Rocky icon_chaos
4. Stacy icon_rolleyes
5. Rebecca icon_no

I was hoping Rebecca would pick things up, but she hasn't seemed to.

Stacy is the only person left in the game who made pretty much no effort with me

Rocky seems a little too clueless, but would be a lulzy winner with a Rocky/Stacy/Rebecca f3

Candice, as I said, is just too boring for me to want to vote for in the end

I think Penner has played a great combination of "UTR game" when he needed to, and "overdog game" when he needed to. Laying low as all the targets fell and emerging later on to resume his status of "big threat" when it might be too late for everyone to catch back on before final tribal.

Mine is mostly the same but with Candice/Penner swapped. I agree with you on most points about Candice being boring and Penner being better at socially connecting, but boring is just more effective.

I would find it funny if we could try to get Rebecca voted out by commenting icon_wub icon_wub icon_wub icon_wub icon_wub every time she spoke, but I think we'll ever have that chance.

To be completely fair, I only found out that the vote was for you like an hour before tribal council. I found out that it was going to be 8-2 at that point and just decided to not stick my neck out
