Cast Assesment

[Alec]

SO KINDA LATE BUT HEY CAST ASSESSMENT LESSGOOOOO:

[Alec]

BRANDON:



May as well start with the guy who will probably end up first boot. (Also it works alphabetically so woot.) I made a F2 with him pregame (that I intended on honoring) but he’s probably going this round because he’s a threat, tried to not be a threat by not being around, and instead just frustrated people with his inactivity. If by some miracle he survives, he’ll be a vote locked with me, but I don’t see it happening. Tis a shame.

[Alec]

BRENDA:



Brenda seems semi-active, she’s around. And I think she’s trying to turn over a new leaf, establish a new perception of herself, as someone who isn’t Morgan/PG/whoever’s lackey. But honestly? I want her out, because if she is a lackey, she’s a goddamn loyal one, and I know I’m not gonna get that loyalty. And if not, she’s still a relatively ruthless player - bad for business. So ideally I get in a situation where I can eliminate her.

[Alec]

CARTER:



It’s kinda weird. Me and Carter get along fine outside of games, even if we’re not chit-chatting all that often or whatevs, but the one time we’ve played together (Warriors AS) we were allies by association for a bit. But our game style’s never really linked up, for whatever reason, and we just couldn’t get on the same page. Maybe it’ll be different this time, but going into this game he’s on my radar - with a Twisted voting block already coming into play, he could be a threat, especially if I don’t have any relationship to bank on. So yeah, I want him out, for the moment anyway.

[Alec]

COACH:



Coach is my co-host, and one of my best ORG friends. Of course I’m gonna work with him. The only issue I might run into is that he’s a bit of a bad luck magnet, even if he bucked that trend with this most recent Rustic game. There’s also that people KNOW that we’re close, and if we ( really the whole Warriors clique) become too obvious, it could put a target on our backs. Having said that, he’s a vote in my corner, and I don’t see us betraying each other.

[Alec]

COCHRAN:



I like to think me and Cochran are good friends, even if on occasion the fact that he’s, y’know, 13 shows up. In all seriousness he’s a good guy, and he’s also not the best player, which is win-win for me. He’s too focused on the ideal strategy and how to make big moves, which to an extent undercuts his typically decent social game. He’s been talking about getting a Big Brother Defiance voting block set up (which would be me, him, Fabio, Ian, and Sierra) and while I don’t think anyone would be ultimately loyal to that, it’d definitely be a nice side option to work on. I don’t see Cochran turning on me unless he has to, but I also know his definition of “has to” is a lot looser than mine - trust, but never trust completely.

[Alec]

COURTNEY:



Me and Courtney are on good terms, as far as I know. HOWEVER, the last game we played together was Warriors AS, where I may or may not have blindsided the fuck outta her. (Warriors AS, as I'm sure your rather quickly realizing, was the last time I played with quite a few of these people, so it does inform my strategy in this game to an extent.) Granted I wasn't in her plans and she wanted me out within the next few votes, but still. Anyway, we're friendly, and I think to an extent we're on the same page here - I don't really trust her, but I don't want her out either. She has a way of sliding under the radar, which nearly won her Tuvalu - with the way this tribe twist works, that could either significantly benefit her, or she could become a common target if the right group goes to TC and her bonds aren't strong enough. She's a sleeper threat in my book, unless she slides too far down the activity scale.

[Alec]

FABIO:



Fabio's my bud, and I plan on working with him. Not sure if we're taking it to the end (me being not totally dedicated to him in BB Defiance might play into that, I dunno) but we're good friends, so unless we have to, I don't see us turning against each other. In fact, there's a decent chance I'd wanna go to finals with him, or at least plan to. I actually think Fabio will be a shield for me moving forward - normally it'd be vice versa, since I'm the more out in the open, straightforward player, and he's more UTR, but this game is for all intents and purposes, non-alias. People know he's dangerous, and he was one vote away from winning Jianxi - that could hurt him.

[Alec]

MORE LATER, GTG TO CLASS.

[Alec]

OK CONTINUING THIS EVEN THO THE FIRST TWO BOOTS HAVE HAPPENED AND REALLY IM STARTING TO DEVELOP IN-GAME OPINIONS BUT FUCK IT LESSGOOOOOOO:

[Alec]

IAN:




Me and Ian are buds from Defiance. I MEAN, he was the sole vote to evict me when I left, which was kinda irritating, but he’s a good guy. OTTN as fuck in his confessional though, and much more ruthless than he lets on in one on one convos. I talked to him about being partners in this game, and he seemed receptive. He seems to be on the Warriors side of things, which is nice. Definitely plan on working with him.

[Alec]

JAMIE:



I think he’s Jakbott? (Jakbott making AS is hilarious btw if it's true.) Kinda inactive, a little hard to talk to sometimes, but he’s a loyal guy. If he’s not pre-merge fodder (which lbr he probably will be) he could be a loyal number to pick up post-merge. I’m just very hesitant to work with people I have issues talking with one on one, which would hamper any working relationship with Jamie.

[Alec]

JOAQUIN:



Knowing the player Joaquin usually is, I've pretty much thrown out anything about his Luanda gamwe. Dude is here to play, and he's locked in what what I'll call the "twisted crew" of him, Sierra, Carter, and Matty. I've worked with him in the past, and if his side starts getting picked off I think I could get him on my side, but it's all about how the pre-merge breaks. I can count on him to make what he sees as the smartest move for his game, but I'm not dumb enough to think that would always be siding with me. Could honestly go either way with regard to working with him, but as far as likability he's a good guy, consider him a friend.

[Alec]

J.T.:



My other co-host, and Coach's younger brother. I like J.T., he's a good guy, friend of mine, and he's been getting better at ORGs lately. Just made his first FTC (lost horribly because he's not the best typist, but details) and was player of the season in another game. Honestly, the only other person from his season playing is Naonka, and I'm apt to think he's gonna wanna coast on pre-game bonds for a bit, as a lot of us are. Which would mean working with Coach and the Warriors crew - so in that sense, he should be a vote with us. I'm not sure what level of ultimate loyalty he feels to us, haven't played a game with him for a while (well except Epic FvFvF but we were both premerge and he was admittedly inactive) but I think he should be a solid number. Could be a fun time to go with him and Coach to finals, Pure hosts F3 haha.

[Alec]

MATTY:



I've said it before to his face (when I thought I was talking to someone else) and I'll say it here again: Matty is one of the nicest people I know in ORGs. He's just a good guy, fun to chat with, etc. Having said that, he's also a member of the twisted crew, and he's closest to them of anyone in the cast. Even though he liked Brandon in the context of this game, he still voted for him last round, because he didn't want them in danger. Having said THAT as well, I think he's the most open to possibilities of that bunch - he was the closest to flipping last round. I don't want him out soon, even though I'm not entirely sure he'd be open to working with me as long as the twisted crew's around, because he's a good mediator between the two groups in my opinion - voting him out would be kinda tantamount to declaring war with no possibility for negotiations.
