Cast Assesment

[Alec]

NAONKA:



Naonka is kinda confusing to me. Going into this game, I didn't know much about her other than that she was in S! and was entertaining in the VL for most of the subsequent seasons. And during the first challenge, while she helped out more than just about anyone else besides me, she didn't seem there most of the time. Then come time for the vote, she decides she's gung-ho about getting one of the twisted crew out, sides with us adamantly, and is the pivotal force in getting Reynold to throw his vote and eliminate himself. Which is kinda confusing, because the other four of us are all tight from before this game, but she seems as on our side as any other. Def want to work with her in the future, but she's definitely a bit of an enigma to me regardless - not sure how much I can trust her, y'know?

REYNOLD:



Never really wanted to work with him. He’s like, a loyal soldier, but I didn’t see him doing that with me. Maybe that was the wrong assessment, because he was willing to flip on Joaq, but someone with half-baked plans AND upping their game to be more cutthroat is someone who needs to ASAP too anyway. Can’t trust someone who’s barely around, y’know?

SIERRA:



The only winner in this game, I consider myself on good terms with Sierra outside this game, and even in it we've defo had some fun chats. Having said that, she's also incredibly apt to be OTT and play with her emotions, and she'd be the first to say as much. Given what happened in the most Warriors seasons with #aliasgate and her seeming decision to gun for Brandon even though a lot of people didn't really want that...I'm wary. I like her and want to work with her, and I don't think I'm up that high on her hit-list, but she could target me for who I'm friends with. Similar to Joaquin, depending on how things break, I feel like she could be a close ally or someone in opposition to my interests - we'll see how it goes, but for the record I WANT her to stick around, she's fun.

...OTHER SIERRA (DAWN):



Soooooo my working relationship with Sierra Dawn is...odd. I'm really bad at small talk with her, I feel like, for whatever reason, but that doesn't mean we haven't worked together in the past. Especially because she's also friends with my friends. So I think it'd be fun to work with her this go 'round, and we probs will end up doing exactly that, but I'm not sure how far that trust goes. I also left my AIM on and she messaged me, and I logged out of it because I wasn't actually trying to be on, so she couuuuuuuld be mad about that. We'll see how this one pans out, could go a few ways.

STEPHANIE:



A complete and utter unknown, who's entertaining but someone who I'm somewhat scared to play with. I...I got nothing to say here, she might as well be the Joker in the deck of cards. I need more information to work off of, I'll talk to some people, but for now...

TOM:



Just about done with these. Knowing Tom, I'm still not sure how to approach him. He's a very smart guy, who knows a lot of people, but I'm not sure if he's gonna play the cards he's been dealt the best. He's in a weird spot, and I'm interested to see how it plays out for him. If we go to tribal in the round we're currently in as of this writing (Final 18) he'd be my target over Matty, but I don't WANT to eliminate him really. (Granted he's good at getting himself out of tight spots so who'd know if it would even work.) He's shady, but he's a good guy, and fun to talk to when I get the chance. Also, for effin' ONCE I'd like to work with him in a game. Ultimately, I'm kinda undecided on how to deal with him - I guess I'l play it by ear, haha.

TYSON:




I mean, I FELT vaguely positive toward him, because he was cool in the VL, but oh well. *shrugs* #firstbootproblems

Overall Feelings:



Honestly? I feel like I'm in a good spot to take this whole thing. I have a lot of friends in this cast, know just about everybody, and I don't think I'm anyone's immediate target. The twist in the pre-merge could screw me, and I think I'll be a target mid-merge if I make it there and people realize what's up, but I legitimately feel good about my chances to win this whole shebang. Maybe I can prove PG right AND break the curse us males have had in TSG. *looks at first two male boots* Or continue it and get voted off rather uneventfully. Y'know, one or the other.
