Like I said I didn't get a chance to read much of this game, just curious if anyone went 100% full-honesty no-alliance this game like I tried to last season.

It's easier to do it on Big Brother, because the HoH/noms set up makes it so you have to pick a side at the end of the week even if you are floating, so any vote you make is a vote you were coerced into making. It's harder on Survivor because your universe of possible targets is "every other player in the game" so you can't wash your hands of your votes as much, and people will see you as an easy pickoff.

I maintain I'd have had a pretty good shot getting farther than I did (6th in AS S4) if I hadn't also been working 90 hour weeks that entire month. I just couldn't keep up social comms so I was a compromise lynch between a couple factions instead of playing kingmaker for either.

Maltose was pretty active but Bowmore and Chili were both friends with Dhaes so there wasn't much room for him to hide.

Ouch. Yeah. Mafia ties are great early game to foster alliances, but given the lack of mafia vet winners overall I think it's an impediment in the long haul.

They also make for the best ULTIMATE BETRAYALS.

In the three tribe set up there isn't a lot of space to hide at all. Honestly I think the wider the initial field the more chance you have of getting far which is where ABB is probably better for it.

ABB is better in some ways and worse in others for making alliances. Like there's nothing keeping you together at all, so it's like the entire game is post-merge survivor but with none of the tribe shared history that helps keep tribe alliances going. Also unless you're HOH you are never safe, so there's really no time where you can just relax. Also having a majority alliance doesn't mean anything if you don't have a member of your alliance win HOH every week to keep it together. A minority alliance of 2 people can completely prevent anyone else from doing what they want.

You have to be a lot more flexible and have to have potential relationships with everyone which is quite difficult. But if you can keep that balancing act you can go far.

I don't know that that is really true. I don't think you can scheme, have an end goal in mind, and still claim 99% honesty. Not to mention you lied to me at least twice, even if it was by omission. The type of game Pander is talking about is totally different. And for what it's worth, I don't think it can work, but it would be neat if it did.

Off the top of my head, remember when you said you'd vote with me on that final vote and then you "changed your mind" and Pug told me about it before you voted me out? :)

Lie buddy. Even if it was by omission, if you truly meant to vote with me before changing your mind.

Sep 6, 2010

I skyped you about it and you told me he'd already talked to you :(

I kept the promise I made to him and mob day 1, I'd been pretty upfront that I'd intended to do so since the merge and in the end I felt to guilty to break it.

And I probably lost because of it, but so it goes.

why would you cut cap pig in favor of puggle for that alone you deserved to lose, no slight against puggle

Exactly. I think you would have been able to tell a much better story if you had gone with that. I even told you that at the time, if you keep Puggle he wins. Then he did. But oh well. :)

Well, another lie, and this was a consistent one, was how you constantly told me you had no plans for end game and didn't want to make any. That was a bald faced lie every time you said it, and you said it a lot. How many pitches did I make to you? Each time came the lie. Until right before you pitched me out the door. =) (You told me about Puggle after merge, but continued to obfuscate about mob)

Yes, the game you played was more honest and up front then many, but it was by no means honest.

t a s t e
Sep 6, 2010

I suppose that's true. I saw myself breaking my promise and agonizing over whether or not to do so. I had a plan but didn't know whether I'd stick to it, so while it wasn't a lie it wasn't the truth either.

I could have won with pig, probably, but it wouldn't be true to what I promised them and I played by my word.

And you made me a villain!

Sep 6, 2010

True fact: I sincerely wanted to go to final three with you and pp to the point that I said I'd do it, thought about it for a few hours, actively wound myself up with anger and shattered a hockey stick on a shot after realizing I couldn't break the promise. I thought my vote that tribal was pretty clear in broadcasting how I really felt about it.

Sep 6, 2010

Then again I was way too wound up in that game. I was so far in my own head I couldn't justify why I deserved to win. I may have gripes with the way awful survivor juries tend to vote but I couldn't do myself any favors.

Yeah your stuff doesn't count TT. I don't think I told a single lie by omission or otherwise in S4. In S1? Yeah I lied a LOT. I lied to Mills even after he was eliminated, because well gently caress him.

But S4 I told everyone my strategy from the get-go, and I'm not sure if it was play or luck that got me so far, and was curious if there'd be a larger sample pool.

Apparently no-alliance full-honesty has been done in real life Survivor, but I don't think it's been explored much in AS much.
