(Are you HAPPY Zach?? I couldn't come up with a better thread name than the one you gave me. This is for U.)
HELLO TEAM!! I am sorry for being so quiet and disappointing so far. The game starting coincided with my first week back at uni and then I had a family reunion this weekend but I am HERE and NOT SQUARE and ready to SLAY.
First of all, I have to say that that Pandora's Box twist was a fucking #blessing. As I said above, I have been at a family reunion for the last couple of days, so I spent pretty much all weekend drunk and/or in a food coma and therefore was not on AIM like at all. When I logged on to the board and read that I was automatically safe because of an unexpected twist I may or may not have literally cackled to myself (to the bewilderment of people around me).
Secondly, I do not find Marvin funny. THERE I SAID IT. Anyone can make dick jokes and be grossly inappropriate with minimal effort. His nomination thread made me cringe/uncomfortable. I am therefore not too pleased that he has some kind of power. That combined with the fact that some of these people actually DO find him funny means he will probably be here for a while. SHAME really. He also bothered me in the first phase of the game when we were PMing because he was boring and did not appreciate my music recommendations enough.
FINALLY, I am going to do a cast assessment so I can gather my thoughts about everyone here in one convenient & accessible place. I realized too late that I forgot to put drop shadows on these banners. #dealwithit I guess.
Amy is OK. Just OK. I voted to save her over Clay because Clay was annoying and didn't talk to me at all until like 2 hours before the eviction results, so it wasn't really based on her own merits. I don't feel particularly inspired by our conversations and they seem to die out before long. Maybe they will improve, but I am not expecting great things. In PMs I constantly had to bring up new topics because she kept letting my conversational flames burn out. I did not enjoy that. 5/10.
Let me tell you a fun story about my pal Austin.
A few days ago, Austin asked me if I knew whether any alliances had been formed yet. I told him truthfully that I didn't know and that if they had, I hadn't been included in them. This lead to us forming an alliance called the Lonely Hearts Club. He then voted me as "most likely to backstab" and "social game needs polishing" in majority rules. Cheers, Austin.
To add to this, today I found out from Porsche that Austin asked her for an alliance around the same time. If he did it to two people, I have pretty good reason to suspect he has probably done it to a good few more. V. transparent.
Austin is not a terrible conversationalist, except when he asks how I am three times within 30 minutes, presumably without realizing he has done it (don't ask. I am just going to assume he was having a bad night). His font is for ants (i.e. tiny) and causes unnecessary strain on my eyes, but I am coping. 6/10 since he is such a mix of ups and downs. Gets plus points for being my first actual alliance of the game.

Cody is very affectionate and bubbly towards me, but I suspect it's not anything to do with him actually liking me all that much and more related to an over-friendly front he's putting on with everyone. He gave me a really good song recommendation at the beginning of the game and that alone puts him above others. I think I could work with him. Maybe. 7/10 for being cute and friendly.
I have felt alternately hot and cold about David so far. Looking at his face makes me uneasy (I think it's the beard and the maniacal stare). At first he seemed very disinterested in conversations with me but over recent days we have gotten a lot more loose with each other and spend most of our time taking the piss out of other people and talking about celebrities and BBCAN, which I appreciate. I am really enjoying the more ~relaxed~ vibe lately and if our chats continue to make me lol on the reg I would like to pursue something concrete with him. 8/10. Even though he probably hates me/thinks I'm boring.
Is it bad that I already know who this is because he is playing Jen the exact same way he played Lindsey Richter in Shadow? Our conversations consist solely of weird flirtatious remarks and food discussion. I have no complaints about this thus far since flirting and food are both things I enjoy. I will be voting to keep her this round for sure. I don't think I can trust her because I feel like she behaves the same way with everyone and I'm having trouble making our relationship any deeper than it is right now, but we'll see what happens. 7.5/10.
(I know the stroke is missing around her name but I don't know why so stfu okay)
GUYS OK so I talked to Kaitlin through PM for a total of four messages and since then I have spoken to her never. The one time I saw her pop up was in the group chat when she was talking about her dinner and then she sent a pic and I was BEWILDERED. She was eating SWEET PANCAKES with a SAVOURY OMELETTE and some weird STEAK for DINNER. And the omelette had PIZZA SAUCE in it. It says a lot that my most lasting impression of Kaitlin is marred by her poor choice in food combinations. She also does not know who Kaitlin is which is personally offensive to me since I (and I use this term very loosely considering my post count of probably like 3) housecalled as her last season. I have a feeling most people here have probably talked to her even less than I have. I cannot see her surviving this round. 2/10 (at least she cooked something for herself. That is a skill that MANY unfortunately lack!!!!).
OMFG THIS ONE IS MISSING THE STROKE TOO FFS (and so are the next 2 god why)
I feel like I need to research Louise to see if I can figure out whether this person's excessive emoji usage is reflective of Louise's actual personality? I thought I would find her insufferable at first but in one on one conversation she is actually quite pleasant, though she does come off as being a LITTLE fake sometimes. She is APPARENTLY a first year biology student so since I've been studying @ that shit for like five years now I offered to help her with any concepts she has trouble with which I guess means we are forever bonded as a tutor/student pair. Jk probably not. But I do enjoy her and I think everyone is at least a little endeared to her. 7.5/10.
In PMs Mark kind of sucked. He completely missed my "oh hai Mark" joke and replied to a two paragraph message with a single sentence. On AIM he is a little more interactive and fun but I don't catch him online a lot. 5/10. Mediocre but maybe has potential.
I mean, I've talked about this. In PMs he was average. Now he is just a walking dick joke. I don't dig it. He says things I find genuinely funny about once every 15 attempts at humour. 2/10 but I will keep it cute, especially since he has some ~unknown power~ now.
Porsche is my FAVOURITE PERSON ON THIS CAST and she claims I am hers too. I am not sure whether to believe her, though. I thought we had this really good super unique vibe going but the fact that she got the "most likely to be in multiple alliances" title in MR gave me PAUSE. I am hoping it is just the result of her making a good impression on a lot of people and not her actually communicating at massive length with absolutely everyone on the cast.
Our conversations started out with us building a hall of fame for terrible quality IM and PM responses and a few days ago we had like a forty minute conversation consisting entirely of quotes from The Room during which I lowkey asked her for an F2 but managed to play it off as a joke (teehee). We also talked about politics and she has correct opinions. She says she usually plays PM games which explains why she's good at sustained conversation and lengthy responses. I love her. 10/10 angel.
Will is probably my second favourite after Porsche. I loved our FLOW in PMs and I've also really enjoyed our AIM conversations, but his timezone makes him hard to catch lately. Despite that I am holding on 2 him for dear life because he is chill af. 9/10.

to him. He did not seem that amused, which was v. disappointing.
SURELY?
like pretty much everyone else seems to be because I am down to GO PLACES with him in this game. I guess only time will tell!!!!!!
