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 Matt! It's been awhile since Carlsbad and I can't wait to watch you play again. You have that unique player style to you that is always fun to watch. It's personable and friendly, but when Tribal Council comes around you become serious and strategic. I think one of the most interesting times I've seen you play was during the first vote in Adularia where things started getting crazy. It looked like you were going but you managed to turn it around and construct an alliance in your favor. You rode the Secret Train really really far and did a good job in it.
Well, except for that completely boneheaded move of letting Ross and the Royals take over the game at the Final Seven. That was pretty dumb lol. 0=) You should have been manuevering around to get the last CERN on your side since the day your new alliance got control, and if things didn't go your way, you should have even convinced your alliance to break it with 2 CERN at the Final Eight.
All I'm going on is your game style in Carlsbad, which I know is just one game and you've played many, many others very successfully. You know what you are doing. You have a unique gameplan and it takes you very far. Traditionally, most players find and create a very close companion and alliance member in the early stages of the game and become part of a powerful duo. It's hard for me to think of any other successful runs that didn't involve one, except maybe extreme power players that form duos with like 4 different people. In Carlsbad you didn't have that, you had a lot of friends and a lot of allies but not that one main ally. Finding one may help you, or maybe you can do just fine without one. After all, 95% of duos are doomed to fracture at some point anyway. I don't pretend that my personal style of gameplay is the only one and it seems that how you play is MORE than successful.
I like that you gave it all in the challenges and in the game, and reading the confessionals you wrote was refreshing. You are going to have a lot of friends and natural allies coming into this, and manuevering around them is going to take some skill. Don't be the master leader but don't let them use you either. Kindness takes people farther than one might think.
I can't wait to watch you play.
Good Luck! =)
