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. =)
Katieeeeeeee!!!! Okay so let me put aside the fun conversations for just a second and maybe give a little advice that could help. Of course, you're very, very good at these things and have probably played more than I have and are incredible at making friends and more importantly, making alliances.
Machu Picchu couldn't have gone better for you. You kicked ass in challenges, winning sooooo many, and making many important connections and friendships. And it was your first game!! Truly incredible. You have a special talent for these things. It wasn't your fault Patrick voted for Tom at F7. 0=) You even voted for Ben at F6... very, very, very smart. It seems almost trivial when you think about it because the vote didn't matter, but it is the HALLMARK of a rational Survivor player. So, so many people just have their hangups or prefer to "go down with the ship" rather than keep themselves afloat, and to see that you can do that is telling.
Well, no need to rehash all the F5 drama and I'm sure you've learned your lesson about not needlessly changing things last minute by that there. =)
But what I want to talk about in regards to this All-Stars game is your unique place here. Let's face it - you're a girl and you've befriended like at least 20 other male Alumni who (some of which) don't bond with women easily.
You've made friends. Lots of them. They probably hold the friendship in higher importance than you do, and you have to watch out for that because you'll have 20 different people expecting an alliance with you from the start. You're the most active, most popular, and most friendly player within the chat crowd. You'll have lots of people telling you things. Unfortunately, they also respect you as the great Survivor player that you are and they might see you as a threat where they won't see other players as that.
I have no idea what I'd do in your situation lol. But I do have advice for you, and that's to do exactly what you've been doing all along. It works, and there's no need to change it. You'll be immediately tangled in a web of friendships and alliances and it'll be very difficult to manuever your way around it. In some ways the game will be easier for you, in other ways more difficult. Either way - be sure to keep gathering information like you do and be *very* very careful on who you give info too. Rumors can spread like wildfire. Keep reigns on your gossiping unless you want to choicely spread something around which could be to your advantage.
Other than that, I think you know better than I do how to play your own game style.
Good Luck! =)
