Heya!
This is just a little thing where I write something individually before the game starts. Because when that happens, I can not even mention like your past activities or how you did in other games or mention basically anything at all about you or your gameplay. Maybe I'll give some advice on what to do or just reminisce about the game you played in. Now remember I haven't like deeply studied the game and all the confessionals you wrote before typing this, so I'm just going off a general perspective of the really big things from my point of view. Some of the little details might be wrong but I'll try my best. So now the form letter part of this ends and the personalized part starts after this sentence. =)
Hey Eric! I'm so excited to watch you play again. I just reread through your application and it is like seriously I think the best application I've ever read. So personable, intelligent, literate, straight-forward without being wordy, and complete. I agree with you totally, which is why I'm finding it hard to think up advice haha.
From what I remember of you and Machu Picchu you had a little bit of a rocky start. Which I guess is okay because you came within one vote of Sole Survivor, and whatever doesn't vote you out makes you stronger... sort of. But I'm sure that this time around you don't want to repeat that uncertainty in the early rounds lol. Being on AIM a bit to talk to everyone and making friends and establishing relationships with everyone will be key.
You said try and avoid putting you on a tribe with a pre-formed alliance, and I'm going to try and do that. That's why I asked everybody to list all their alliances/enemies with other people, so I can sort of see where everyone is. It is like my dream to have like this giant strategic map with everybody's name on it with red lines connecting enemies and blue lines connecting alliances and circles and all that stuff like that haha. But in reality I can't even see like 25% of that picture, and that 25% is blurry, ripped, crumpled, and probably inaccurate. It's hard to get a giant picture like that from people just volunteering information, but I'll try my best with everyone to split em up.
Other than that... I think, even though you got 2nd, you will be completely underestimated which is very good for you. Which is stupid of them lol. =) If you get a little luck, avoid the giant pitfalls, and smoothly make your way through each episode I think you should be in excellent shape.
Good Luck! =)
