- Fri Oct 07, 2016 4:25:19 am #3294 First of all, Congratulations for making the merge on this All-stars season! It's a big accomplishment, you've outlasted 11 players, nearly half of the players in this game.

Here's where the real fun begins. Where legends are made and the real season is defined. I want to wish you the best of luck and I know I don't have to tell you this because you already know... Leave it all in the game, don't waste any opportunities because you may not get another chance to redo them.

So I have a lot of questions but I'll start with a few:

1. Now that the Merge is here and it has gone to an Individual game, how will your strategy change?

2. Are you worried about any alliances or groups in particular? Do you think that the previous tribal breakdowns will factor into this merge at all?

3. Are you concerned with any threats in the game, and if you are a threat... are you concerned with being targetted for being a threat?

4. Now that the merge is upon us, players begin to look towards the finals and WINNING the game. How do you plan on proving to your other players that you deserve to win amongst all of these all-stars?

5. Who would you ideally like to team up with and who do you want to see gone ASAP? Are you planning on stepping outside of your comfort zone and making new allies/friends in this merge?

Now that we've reached the merge, how do you feel about your position in the game?

Also, could you please break the tribe down for me from your perspective. How would you rank your tribemates in terms of trust? maybe add on a rating of 1-10 as well if you don't mind.

my engine and skeevyness will start to turn. gonna make sure i have ozzy, hayden, dan, drew, shug, and val all on lock and maybe some backups with sierra and anyone else i want to have. they all probably think i'm clueless, so they're more likely to trust me/think they can sway me. i want to be the swingvote.

2. Are you worried about any alliances or groups in particular? Do you think that the previous tribal breakdowns will factor into this merge at all?

i want to end the richard thing so that i dont have shit to complain about anymore and then i'll stop worrying about it after half of it is demolished. we all know it was just the old mid-saipan alliance, but i still want it gone a bit.

3. Are you concerned with any threats in the game, and if you are a threat... are you concerned with being targetted for being a threat?

concerned with threats? i mean, i'm worried i wont win if i hit ftc with drew, but thats about it.

4. Now that the merge is upon us, players begin to look towards the finals and WINNING the game. How do you plan on proving to your other players that you deserve to win amongst all of these all-stars?

i plan on putting myself in a better position than a lot of peeps cause no one expects me to think about shit as much as i do. my reputation is done being built, now it's time for me to chokehold these fuckos.

5. Who would you ideally like to team up with and who do you want to see gone ASAP? Are you planning on stepping outside of your comfort zone and making new allies/friends in this merge?

i think i'll step sorta outside my comfort zone, but not much haha. probably wouldn't want to get to the end with someone who slinks their way to the end anyways cause that's hella impressive. off the bat i'm thinking i want to be in the end with shug, and i'm not sure whoelse yet.
