    I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, ORG Yuniverse
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    It depends. This game starts the weekend before my classes start so I should be fine when it comes to opening weekend which is always my problem.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I've been playing since February of 2010, I've hosted 4 games of my own, and yet I've never played in Stranded. I've heard so many good things about it that I felt it was time.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    Yes 37 of them. I've won one game. GTS/ORGY/GTFO games.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Courtney Yates- I know this is probably an answer you get a lot, but I'm bitchy but in a fun way? Like I like to make people laugh but in a mean way. I also play these for fun much like she played Survivor for fun. And while you want to win you try to make things fun for the other people playing.

    Jenna Morasca-I'm kind of elitist, lol.

    Brett Clouser- Like I'll say below I think he is actually how I act in public. I'm bitchy to my friends but I'm nice to strangers and adorkable or so I've been told.


    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Brett Clouser
    Jenn Lyon
    Elisabeth Hasselbeck

    These may seem weird given my personality but I don't like try-hards and I like nice people. These three were nice on the show at least.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Honestly I'd either try to get out of it or I'd flip shit. I've been known in ORGs to flip shit or start shit.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Something like an underdog that is fun and bitchy. I hate to say it but something like Todd Herzog, who while wasn't an underdog he still was in my eyes because of all the things he had going against him.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Probably like Courtney Yates in Heroes vs. Villains. Early boot that gets some one-liners.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    In games I usually get along with bitches. I like to make fun of the others sometimes.

    In real life chill people that don't have to be doing something all the time.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Stupid people. I HATE stupid people and they are the bane of my existence.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    Good Social Gamers that can have fun.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I've always done best when I try hard to get everyone to like me. I have done it by doing huge PMs.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I really would love to play. I'm retiring soon and I want to play in one before I leave. This game will also be when I have free time.

    ALSO that email doesn't work anymore, all my emails have my full name and I don't want to use those.

    I am a member of the following forums: ORG Yuniverse, Australian
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Interesting Question - being an Australian member, i would be able to participate in challenges and tribal councils. I would not be able to freely pm and participate in tribe dynamics in between (while everyone can do that in the US daytime.... i'd be sleeping). Tuesday nights/Wednesday mornings for me could be dicey..... but i would be able to be present at 8pm (approx?) - onwards.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    For fun and something to do. I don't take ORG's too seriously (have never played too hard in them), yet i like to see how far i can get.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    1x Stranded Australia season (Season 6: Partners in Egypt)
    1x Sasqwatch: Alias (made it to the merge, but was voted off soon after)
    1x Versus: Musicals (1st vote off - self destructed when i found out i was preferred 1st person to be voted should we lose the challenge. We did, so i had a melt down (not in real life obviously!!) wondering what i did to get everyone off side so soon. Ironic thing was that they should have voted off BEFORE me.... did nothing so they left soon after lol.

    1x Versus 20th Century: First person voted off :(, i had a decent character and plotted my arc accordingly. Sadly i was in an alliance with more girls than boys. And i started playing 5+ hours later than everyone and they had already formed the female alliance. I was one of the most active on the tribe in terms of cross tribal taunting. And much like Versus: Musicals..... the person they kept ahead of me (but was the second boot) didn't contribute much from the beginning, to his vote off as well.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Amanda Kimmel
    Vecepia from Marquesas
    Scout from Vanuatu,
    Julie from Vanuatu,
    Jan from Thailand.

    I cheated and just did a few Survivor personality tests and thats what they came up with :/ o.0.

    Maybe a touch of Brandon Hantz about me, i'll make a dumb move without realizing it.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Boston Rob: I'd like to have his challenge prowess
    Russell Hantz: Loved his DGAF nature, even if it rubbed everyone up the wrong way.
    Matthew von Ertfelda from Survivor 6: Amazon. Enjoyed his gameplay.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Depends what they are confronting me with, if i can tell a white lie to get out of the situation i will. However i am big on honest and i'd more than likely blab the truth.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Someone that would have the home viewer pulling their hair out, based on the contestant going back and forth on what to do (without bringing religious beliefs into it lol).

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Edge of the seat style viewing. Not knowing what i am going to say or do next.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Most, except the loud and overbearing personalities. I can match them briefly, but i gradually get tired of it.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    The loud and more dominating people.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    I can accept any type of game play, except the under the radar style.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    To have fun, not take things too seriously and just enjoy it.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I am hungry and am rushing through this so i can eat!!!

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Most of the day I'm available, though I have some occassional problems. I sleep usually about midnight to seven or eight.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I enjoy meeting other people.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I played Jerri for my first Surviver type game, then lurked a couple, then played Todd (Susie's husband) in RRR, and then four other roles in a two month period during which I burned out. It was... fun.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    I'm not much of a Survivor fan, I don't know almost any of them at all.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    See above.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    That would depend on what I was being confronted with. Fairly calm, though.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Uh... Gee, I have to think about that...

    I guess behind the scenes fellow. Sorta manipulating people when I need to, but usually staying out of everything, still a part of it but not in the center, not the focal point of anything. People find focal points. It's harder to hit someone you don't see.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Crazy asshole with no sense of tact, or giant supermanipulative bitch nobody likes. Siiiigh...

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I don't really have a problem with most people. I'm fine as long as they're fine.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Trolls and asshats, especially people who do it on purpose. I DESPISE the... what's the name... Head Bitch in Charge? category. Go die in a fire, please and thank you. Nobody likes you, and ratings pigs aren't needed online.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    I like honor in my games. If I make a promise, I keep it, and I'd expect other people to as well. Or I'd like to. Unfortunately, people are people, and I trust them to be people - which includes being a backstabbing sonofabitch if they think they can get away with it.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    Strategy? Wut? I want to not be out second. Beyond that... I'll figure something out. Probably on the fly, knowing me.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    Well, I'm looking to start College sometime next year (technically arguably this year, I mean 2013, but it's two hours ten minutes until then for me and I don't know when you'll read this). Also I happen to have 'autism' (actually aspergers). I don't know how important that is.

    I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, ORG Yuniverse, None
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    I work full time, so four days a week from 10-7 CST I will not be available to play (unless those days are Saturday/Sunday, where I am available until 6/5 PM, respectively). Aside from that, I am completely available.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I've heard a lot about this series, but I've never actually applied. I saw the application on GTFO, and have open availability- so I went for it. I'd love to conquer a 'Stranded' game.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I've been playing ORG games since 2004. From the Altreality/OnlineSurvivor/Sucks communities, and other, scattered, sites. I've played standard Survivor, Big Brother, The Mole, and other mixed games. I'd like to say that I've played in at least 60 full games over the years.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Greg Buis- My absolute favorite Survivor, him and I both use humor as a social strategy- but implement cut-throat techniques when it's the smart thing to do.

    John Fincher- Stunningly attractive, brilliant man who would have definitely gone far in his season if circumstances had been different. Why are we a good match? Well, we're both stunningly attractive, brilliant men.

    Dave Cruser- Really smart guy from Survivor: China. Again, bad circumstances. Brilliant with strategy, but bad at keeping his temper down. I sometimes have to hold myself back in these games and go into robot mode, and Dave is always a reminder of how it would turn out for me if I did otherwise.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    1. Greg Buis- There will never be another dude like Greg. Handsome, brilliant, beyond his years in terms of survivor strategy. We would play exactly the same way.

    2. Jerri Manthey- Has played this game three different times, three different ways in all three of Survivor's main stages of life. And absolutely was a huge factor in the success of all three seasons.

    3. Ami Cusack- The person who got my interested in Survivor. My first season was the ninth- and it coincided with my first ORG. At the time, Ami was in control of the season. And because of mismanaged micromanaging, she was taken out of the game.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    First, I would want to hear everything they know about the situation- from their perspective. Then I would work to figure out how they reached their conclusion. I'd take this information and then manipulate it from the source, and have them go after someone else.

    For example. "I'm voting for you."
    "Why are you voting for me?"
    *eventual explanation*
    *work to move vote somewhere else*

    It seems like a logical plan, and it seems like I'm not taking any other factors into perspective- but it's difficult to gather false perspectives. I'll have to wait for that moment to strike.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    A villain. I am always a villain at heart, but I am a villain that wins.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Like a sociopathic dumbass.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Sweet women in their 20s, younger gay men, innocent people. They keep me humble. I don't really get along with hothead dudes.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Oh wait, should have guessed this question would come up. People that value their online perspectives so much that they get physically upset when those ideas are challenged.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    The underdog destroying everything in his path.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I would love to play with a clean slate, in a brand new environment with brand new people. And then I want to beat them all.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    My name is Jeremy. I have hosted several games:

    http://www.survivor-games.com/shitilike/
    http://s4.zetaboards.com/shitilike2/index/

    Along with several GTS Pokemon Mini's.

    I have won several games, but those boards are down. One that is still up is Survivor: Belize hosted by JeffP3.

    http://survivor-games.com/belize/

    And I just recently was runner-up in DietGreenTea's Survivor All Stars game, 'The End of Time.'

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    I may miss a few challenges just due to being an Aussie. Time zone is a bitch.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    Penny told me to apply, so I am mainly doing it to get her to shut up. But it only seems fair that I apply for the US game that spawned the creation of the Aussie game.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I have played 5 ORGs. Australian Stranded 7 and 8, Vs 20th Century, Shark Park Genesis and RRR: Aurora. Hosted everyone's beloved Yog in AusStranded 9; about to host S10.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    If I had to answer seriously, I probably embody a little of Greg Buis. But Greg Buis and serious do not mix together, so I must say this.

    I am built like Jay Byars. I am as hilarious as Greg Buis. I am as beloved as Malcolm Freberg.

    I also have the self awareness of Phillip Sheppard.

    I really hate answering these kind of questions though.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Fuck narrowing it to three. There have been 444 players.

    I have just random.org'd all of the Johns. Apparently I flove Fincher, Finta and Cochran the most. I fucking hate Cochran though, so that is obviously a lie.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Angry sex is the best sex.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    I wouldn't go on the show. I'd only play Survivor if it was a game without all the extra bullshit. Notoriety outside of Survivor is overrated. If I have to answer, Purple Kelly. With a penis.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    I'd be less INV than Melissa McNulty.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I'd like to think I get along with most. I troll too much on the internet to be taken seriously, so probably fellow arseholes.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Passive agressive peeps.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    People that take advantage of random loners and make them crucial numbers post merge to improve their own position, which to be brutally honest is something I need to improve on. People like Rob C, Fishbach, Twila/Chris, etc.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    Adaptability obviously, but if I do play this I want to be able to read the situation a whole lot better than I have recently. I got lazy at about 7/8 in my last two games, so that is something I need to improve on.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I hate doing applications.

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    I have no current obligations so I can devote as much time possible.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    The hosts really want me to play and I've heard nothing but great things about ~STRANDED~ so I thought to myself, why the hell not?

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I have played in over 50 ORGs over the past 2/3 years. Everything from Survivor/Big Brother/Arena/Hybrid/Colo etc...

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    RC - orchastrized just like I usually am... passionate... kind of delusional/memorable..
    Cirie - a liability at challenges but makes up for it with strategic game. Huge fan of big moves.
    Lisa - Loyal.. perhaps too loyal for her own good. Emotional

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    RC - recent season bias lol... i see a lot of myself in her
    Sash - he owned Nicarafua! Huge fan of his, robbed of his rightful win :(
    Danielle - no real reason.. I just like her and her taste in allies

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Instant fantard mode! I'll probably even squeal!!

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Probably like Fabio but with a much better edit and with actual gameplay... he fucking sucked.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    I'm unique so I will definitely get a edit. Whether good or bad remains to be seen. Probably like Dreamz? Sugar?

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    The sweethearts! I'm big on social game. If you are rude to me I will NOT work with you. PERIOD!

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    The bullies... those of whom treat me like utter crap.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    I respect all styles! I'm more of a "make moves" type of guy but I can appreciate a good UTR game.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    To win obviously and To succeed! I have hosts WANTING ME in their game so I have to give them something to remember me by. No pressure right?

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I always give 100%, I'm passionate! I never give up! I scramble when in trouble, I blindside bitches when they have it coming. I'm unpredictable. I'm versatile and you are guaranteed a GREAT game with me in the game. Which is Good for YOU, Bad for the PLAYERS, usually lol.

    I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, ORG Yuniverse
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Way too much time. I have a desk job, so most of the time I get paid to sit around and play ORGs. :D I'm on the west coast so challenges are sometimes a bit of a problem for me-- I can't regularly make challenges that are before 10pm EST. Once in awhile is okay.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    My main motivation for playing is super cheesy but 100% genuine. I love the fuck out of winning, but the thing that keeps me coming back to ORGs is the relationships you make. Like when you are in a game and you have that ONE ally who you would totally trust with your life even though you have NO idea who they actually are, but somehow you have this bond that is made out of rainbows and unicorns and kittens and stuff. I think just strategically hopping from one person to the next just to get to the end is okay for some people, but I'm more of an emotional player that likes to find a partner and stick by them no matter what. Yes, this sometimes leads to trainwrecks.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    Yes, I have played in 5 Survivor games, 3 hybrid games, 1 BB, and 1 Pirate Master.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Ummmm this is going to be VERY difficult, as I've only seen a handful of Survivor episodes. But I will give it a shot.

    1. Courtney... but not personality-wise. We're not very alike in personality. But she played in China without being a Survivor fan, which is exactly what I did; I played my first game (DGT's Nepal) without having ever seen an episode of Survivor. I just wanted to prove a point to him that I could do it. And I came in 2nd. :D

    Ummm... I'm stuck at this point. I even asked DGT, who knows me better than anyone in the universe, if he could come up with 3 Survivor contestants that match my personality. He couldn't even come up with one. He said I have traits here and there but that nobody really matches my personality.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Okay these are going to be totally random and not for Survivor-related reasons, but here we go.

    1. Randy - because I aspire to be more like him. He doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks and says whatever is on his mind. He's also brilliant. Also, he has stayed at my house twice (nothing creepy :P)

    Leann - She's been a close personal friend of mine for a few years. I've never seen her season of Survivor; I think it would be weird to watch it, but I've always meant to. She's so sweet and funny and a very talented actress (we were in the same theatre company together).

    Marisa - I loved Marisa, I even played her in FML's Samoa, but much like myself, Marisa was robbed. :P I can't really even remember all the reasons I liked her... but on top of being gorgeous and having a very similar sense of style to me, I like that she stood up to Russell, and I have hated Russell ever since the moment she left. I didn't even watch past that episode.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    I don't (usually) do the ginormous crazy blow up thing. When I find out that someone is gunning for me or doesn't like me, I take the opposite approach. For example, the past two games I've played in, I've found out that one person was gunning for me. In both games I cozied up to them, got them to love me, and then became their number one ally. I don't avoid confrontation, but I don't ram it over the head with a hammer, either. I prefer to sneak up on it, make it fall in love with me, and then put myself in the position where I'M the one that gets to decide whether to cut them loose or not. I get a big rush out of making someone who once hated me and making myself become their best friend.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Well... I have nothing to compare it to really, I'm not exactly sure how people are normally portrayed. But I guess I'd want to be seen as being the one a bit behind the scenes (not invisible) that has a heavy part in controlling things. I would want to be portrayed as intelligent, not a dumb girl; well-liked; very loyal to a select few. A stronger edit than "the sweetheart" edit, though.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Ummm... I have no idea. I guess it would depend on where I placed, who I aligned with, if I pissed off the producers or something... If I did well in the game, I would hope that what I wrote above would be fairly close to how they would edit me. Nothing I said is untrue. It would piss me off if they made me look stupid, though, more than any other way they could edit me. It would probably be fairly easy to give me an edit as an emotional wreck though if I pissed them off. :D I am definitely prone to panic-induced meltdowns.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Thinking back over my closest allies, apparently I get along with people that are strong socially, have a good sense of humor and that are exceptionally intelligent. I also always do best with somebody that has a very strategic mind, because I haven't really nailed the strategic side of it yet. I'm good at getting people to like me, and therefore am usually able to work myself into a number of alliances, which I can then take the info from and pass on to my partner for them to figure out what the best move for us is.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Arrogant people; assholes; anyone that can't write more than a two sentence PM; anyone that hates anyone that writes MORE than a two sentence PM; people that hate the social game and only show up to challenges. I hate people that are impossible to talk to, or that give me the whole "IT'S TOO EARLY TO TALK GAME" shit. I didn't sign up to start playing a game at round 5, I'm there from the first fucking day. Usually I hate a lot of people, and I love few.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    An exceptional social game. I will vote for the strongest social player hands down. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to be OTT, sometimes they can even be UTR; I will absolute respect the UTR person who is pulling the strings of a big personality. I have a hard time voting for someone who was not well liked because they put no effort into the game, or someone who wins challenges to get to the end. If your social game isn't what put you in the f2/f3 (except your shitty social game which got you there as a goat) then you probably will not get my vote.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I'm not sure, to be honest... I usually don't go in with a predefined strategy. I feel out the people in the game first and try to judge from there what aspect of my personality I should try and bring out. I often end up just being myself, but I'm trying to move away from that and get into playing bigger characters, taking more risks, being a little more OTT. It will either go REALLY well or will lead to an enormous trainwreck of girly emotion and insecurity and it will be hilarious to the hosts. Trust me on that one. Assholes.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I don't play guys or ugly/old people. :D

    I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    A couple hours a day.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    Occasional boredom. Plus I wanted to try something like this!

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    No, I have not.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    It's honestly hard to match your personality to a couple of people you've seen a few hours of on tv. But if I had to choose it would probably be

    1) Randy - for his general attitude towards other people and the game
    2) Courtney Y. - for her snarkiness and sense of humour
    3) Brian H. - for his cold and calculated approach to strategy

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Coach, because he is a totally boss and is by far the most amusing thing I've ever see on my tv.

    Brenda, because she is the best (and only?) CPN female ever!

    Tyson, because he was hilarious!

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    It depends on what the confrontation is about. If it's related to strategy, my immediate reaction would probably be to lie to their face do diffuse the situation for now so that I could figure out a better long term plan later on. If it's about something else, I would probably try to logically reason with them to calm them down, because I would not want to hurt my social game.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    I don't really care as long as I don't end up as one of these people who did not get any airtime. I'd probably be a good narrator due to my cynicism and my sarcastic sense of hummour.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    I kinda just that in the previous question. Pretty much what I said above goes for this. Although I would like a strategic side to my persona to be shown as well.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I hate pretty much everyone. That gives me the ability to pretend to actually care what people are saying and get along with most of them.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    I try to avoid open confrontations, although what annoys me the most are the people who choose to follow their morals over playing a game. It's stupid.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    Ice-cold, calculated games like the one Brian or Kim have played appeal to me the most actually. I appreciate the lack of emotion with which they cut people's throats and crush their souls!

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    It's stupid to have a set strategy going into something like this. My strategy will be adaptability. I'll take the game day by day and adapt to whatever comes my way instead of trying to bend my gameplay towards the predetermined strategy that I have.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I honestly think I've written enough about myself, answering the questions above. If you're not able to make a decision based on what I've already said, you're a fool.

    I am a member of the following forums: Survivor Sucks, ORG Yuniverse
    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Usually anything after 9 PM is fine. I mean I can log on from work and "socialize" but for competitions after 9PM is prefered. WED/THUR is my off days. Weekends would suck but oh well

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I am not going to go with the typical overused statement to win or to have a good time. I just want to kinda take out my frustrations from the day on people. I mean I don't take anything personal so I hope they won't either (even though some do)

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    Yes. My first one was Megavivor (which went nuts) and then I dominated as Sydney Wheeler in Supreme Redemption, Dominated again as Charlotte Pickels in Rugrats, once again as Kristy Jo in The Mansion. Usually blonde women work well for me. I played as Mee Mee in Dexter's Lab and went racist with it and talked about FRY CHICKEN.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    CHELSEA (one world) - I'm always saying what's on my mind without a filter and from the "go fuck yourselves" she did during her season that's kinda me. Like I don't care who you are if you make me mad you will know

    SYDNEY WHEELER because i'm pretty ^_^ and aware. Even though in Tocatins she wasn't shown as a threat she was always trying to get rid of JT and Taj which is something I would have done.

    ABI MARIE GOMES - pretty much like CHELSEA but I have a tendacy to get people to hate me very easily and call me undeserving. People think its a huge antic (which in part it is because I want to annoy them) but some of its me.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Kelly Cznarnecki - She was just funny and raw. I loved the few days she was there

    Parvati Shallow - A great player and a great female in the Survivor series.

    Sydney Wheeler - SO beautiful

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Maybe make a rap about how I want to beat their ass or just continually call them out in a public thread. I don't like people who run behind backs and talk crap. Just do it publically and get it out of the way if need be.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    As long as I'm not invisible or a douche.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Probably a douche

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Laid back people because they are just casual and allow me to take control

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Ugly fat people with a false sense of confidence. I hate somebody who is so arrogant and full of themselves especially when they're ugly and fat. That trait is reserved if you look good but I also hate people who think they know more than me.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    One that doesn't cause me to leave. Seriously, if somebody stabs me in the back I will probably NOT vote for them to win (if in the position). Even though I'm mean sometimes being loyal is a big thing. You can be mean but if you're loyal then it doesn't matter.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I'm not going to make one. I think sometimes you preconceive these strategies and when they fail you are left fluttering without any other option. You have to size your opponents up and decide if they are suitable and how to play them and those you know you won't have anything with get rid of them. Constantly changing my strategy to fit the current spot of the game is my strategy

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    Like I know my responses to above probably makes me come across as a mean person but if you talk to some of my allies in previous games beneath the bitch exterior is somebody who stayed loyal to their friends and never really betrayed them. So I just have a rough exterior but a heart of diamonds.

    If you don't pick me I will be pissed

    I like Pizza

    I hate playing male characters. Even though I have a penis I can venture more behind that of a female.

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    I can devote 100% of my time to the game. If anything else I have too much time that I usually spend strategizing etc :)


    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I mostly play real time strategy games (C&C RA2 type) Diablo 3

    Boston rob - Because he has cunning sneaky strategy down pat, and isn't shy when it comes to physical or mental challenges

    Ozzy - for the huge physical threat he poses in challenges, I also pose a major threat in a lot of challenges ;)


    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Boston Rob - Cunning and strategic gameplay

    I like to associate with friendly smart thinking strategic people


    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    under the rader people that dont pull their weight around camp or at challenges

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    A game that incorporates all aspects of survivor - the challenges, the strategic moves and the social gameplay.. not just fly under the radar and ride peoples coattails to the end

    Make a solid alliance from day one, get a couple of trusted people onboard and work from there

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    Just that no game of survivor would be truly as fun without my presence!

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Most hours can find time. Problem hours are evenings in Australia (so, early morning US time). As US evenings fall on Australian mornings, I'm generally at work and as I use a computer for my job, can always keep an eye on things. Much harder at home with family to tend to. :P

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I enjoy the pure Survivor format. Some of the other ORGs here are fun, but really Survivor is my main love. Being able to strategise, socialise and compete in the purist format, albeit with whatever twists are involved, is really enjoyable to me.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    Played Australian Stranded twice as Jenna Morasca. Onto my 3rd US ORGY game. Played another 3 Australian ORGs (most notably Versus and Saswqatch).

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Depends on my mood. I would say Jonathan Penner is one. Very literate and yet simple in communicative methods. Thinks he can gameplay but probably isn't the best at it. Competent moreso. :P

    Next would be Marty from Nicaragua. Mainly because Rob from Aus Stranded described me as such once. I find Marty to be basically a grumpier Penner, so there you go. :P

    Finally, maybe Amanda (probably good to throw in a female). She's not OTT, and yet not UTR. Which is me - middle road.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Yau Man. He is just superb. Love his unique style. So much Asian stereotyping in him but most of it makes him so endearing. The fact this guy can survive and almost win the whole thing is so inspiring.

    James. His just that epitome of a "cool black dude". May not be a PC way of describing him, but deep down, I'd like to think I've got a cool, black dude in me. Geez, that doesn't sound right. :P

    Parvati. She's got a unique look about her. She should be ugly but she's not. So hot. And she's probably the best player of all-time IMO.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    Confronted how? If just contacted, I'd reply in a friendly manner and try and be their friend.

    If they were upset about something, I'd try to find out why and disect it to avoid any culpability. :P

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    Nice guy who no one suspects would win. That guy that the tribe needs but never gets rid of, but is never uber dominant. Kind of like Earl from Fiji.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Probably as a boring, quiet guy. Not stoner boring like Carter, but more as a rational, average guy who is not too vocal or standoutish.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Mainly those who are easy going and no fuss. I enjoy that style of company.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Control freaks. Bossy people who want their own way all the time. I can only bend so much before I snap.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    Strong in all aspects. I fear that this doesn't get recognised. Too many look at the social aspect, particularly with ORGs. Unfortunately, you don't get to see how much hard work a lot of the quiter guys do put in.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    My usual strategy - play smart, not hard. It's hard to say because I think I've only played my natural strategy 3-4 times and each time it got me to at least the jury. The other times were more schtick driven and I felt I threw away opportunities there.

    So I think my aim is to create bonds, be competitive but not be the stand out, and fingers crossed it eventually gets me to the end. I know I need to make a move, but I'm learning to think more about when to make it. Finished runner up because I didn't have the killer instinct... then finished 5th because I made my move one round too early... it's slowly getting fine tuned.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I guess I can't promise anything other than a solid, committed player. I won't be the stand out unless I do schtick, which I won't in a pure format like this one. I won't be ultra boring, though. I hope to have a chance... :)

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Because I am Australian, time zones will likely be a source of difficulty. However as I understand it, most games take place at around 8-9pm in America, which is 11am-12pm in Australia, I am available during this time as I am on uni holidays, and it will give me something to do during the day time :P. I would likely be able to devote quite a substantial amount of time to the game at the moment, and will likely check in regularly. Problems hours would likely be mornings and early afternoon.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I am so intrigued by game theory and dynamics, and often find myself aimlessly analysing moves I could make were I to play Survivor myself, even though I know that as an Australian my chances are less than zero. I believe that ORGs are an interesting way to test that skill and give me the chance to play a fun, interesting, dynamic game.
    Also I just want to have a bunch of fun and play with some cool people

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I am currently playing the Australian Stranded: Cote d'Ivoire (which should be finished/wrapping up by the time this game begins). It is my first ORG and I am finding it very enjoyable. link: http://strandedcotedivoire.proboards.com/index.cgi?

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    1. Rob Cesternino - Yeah, I know, it's probably the most cliche'd answer you get, but deal with it ok? I honestly do think that Rob is the closest to my personality. Nervous humour, critical mind, politically correct to a person's face and then bitingly critical of them behind their backs, an unhealthy obsession with awesome tv shows like Community and Game of Thrones, and the ability to completely separate the game from life and as such, disregard for bullshit like honour and integrity. So yeah, while many people claim to be like him, I honestly believe I am like him... so there.
    2. Courtney Yates - Yes I am a straight male, but if I am honest, my humour is much more similar to hers: snarky, absurd and almost always at someone else's expense. I have been known to make people cry simply by bombarding them with witty insults. Not proud of it, just sayin.
    3. Greg Buis. Once again, absurdist humour is something which really appeals to me. He's a little weird, but in an endearing way, and I think that's definitely similar to me.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    1. Dawn Meehan. I am always a fan of the MILFs (previous faves have been: Debbie (<3), Holly, Edna, Sarita, Yve), but Dawn really is a special one for me. That challenge where she wins the weight-holding for Savaii against Stacey can almost always give me goosebumps. I think I like the fact that she is such a nice, kind woman and yet I believe definitely has the capability to think strategically and play a savvy game.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    I think my reaction would vary based on a case-by-case basis. However, I would have no hesitation to lie if I needed to. However, if someone confronted me and it seemed like they had strong evidence I would likely admit my duplicity and explain my reasoning rationally and logically, while also saying that I am open to an alternate plan if they have a better idea. I find that being honest about lying can often make people trust you more strangely, and I think it is a strategy I would definitely employ.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    An edit similar to Rob Cesternino's edit in season 6 would be my version of ideal: funny, strategic and well-liked. Well-loved by the audience and viewed as the deserving winner and main player in the game.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    I think it is possible I could be portrayed as gullible, silly and naive. People often underestimate me because I am not afraid to play the fool in conversation and act slightly dopey, even though it is usually for humour rather than presenting my true self. It is quite possible that the edit could take these sort of actions and put them out of context, and I could very easily end up with a Fabio-esque edit.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I get along with people who have good senses of humour and high analytical and critical intelligence. I am also very interested in pop culture and enjoy having conversations about TV shows, books, movies and music. In terms of alpha/beta or dominant/passive personalities, I find that I can be quite a chameleon. I think I am usually quite an alpha/dominant player, but I can play passive and try to control things from behind the scenes if I think it is necessary. There are people who like to be led and I have no problem stepping up to be their leader, and then there are other people who want to lead, and in those cases I usually will take the role of a follower who often suggests alternate pathways subtly that I think could be the best move for the leader's consideration.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    I cannot STAND people who are ignorant, especially those who seem to take pride in being ignorant and not striving to try to improve their intelligence and knowledge. Examples of Survivors I think are like that are Skupin and Ozzy, who I loathe. People who are small-minded and not open to conversation, reason and light-hearted debates frustrate me immensely because I think it is an ignorant way to live your life... But yeah... that's my rant done!
    Also people who watch Two and a Half Men/listen to One Direction.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    Games like Rob C, Stephen Fishbach, Kim Spradlin and Sophie. These people for the most part kept their strategising subtle and behind-the-scenes and really took the time to understand who they were playing with and be able to know how to play WITH them and not AGAINST them

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I want to stay fairly low-profile pre-merge, play it safe and go with the smartest alliance until the merge. At the merge I want to shake things up and make it a little bit more interesting. One thing I really want to accomplish also is to form a strong alliance with another person who is strategic and rational who I can work with throughout the duration of the game (a sort of Denise/Malcolm relationship, or Stephen/JT Kim/Chelsea to a lesser extent) and make moves together, until cutting them off at the final 4/3

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    Nothing to say, just think that I hope you think that I would make an interesting player and I am excited to start. I really am more interested in playing an exciting, interesting game than anything else tbh, I don't want to be bored :P

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Given the time zone differences you might expect some issues in this area, but other Aussies have played, I've just come off a win in a US time ORG from GTFO so I'm more than capable of putting in the time for a game.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    Givea big middle finger to crows2/Lisi and any other dickhead Aussies who continue to poison people regarding my character over on the Aussie board. He copied this Stranded to do his Aussie one, he can't ignore if I win this one. And tell Yog I should have won AUS v USA Stranded they did.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    4 Blues World games on US time (1 win). 2 Sasqwatch games (inc. 1 2nd) on AUS time. Many others scattered.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    I'll give you 4. Malcolm. Little bit cocky, more than capable, wise beyond his years. Todd. Always thinking, strategist. Ozzy. Again with the cockiness and ability. Heidk. Cold and calculated.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Malcolm and Ozzy for reasons alluded to above. Ethan for being the first winner I picked from Episode 1.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    No one should have any reason to confront me and if they even think about it, I diffuse the situation and then get everyone else to tell said castaway to fuck off.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    As the most awesome person you ever saw.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    as above

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    Not so much personality types but people who actually have a brain and can communicate I have a much better time getting along with than stupid wankers who don't know their left foot from their right.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    The stupid assholes who have too much arrogance and confidence for their own good whereby they think they are always right even though they have no clue whatsoever.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    Strong games with strategic prowess and challenge skill. The latter is something I'll easily take out so I'm obliged to respect it.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    Be active. Be sociable. Make strong alliances. Win challenges. Make it to the end. Win.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    You'll regret not casting me for Greece. How you cast a bunch that would let someone like Shark Park win just baffles me.

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    I can devote a lot of time to the game. 9-10:30 EST/GMT-5 on Monday's and Wednesday's are probably my largest problem areas.

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    My main motivation behind playing is the recognition this series has in the ORG community and how much of a force it has been.

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    I have played in other online games.
    2 Survivor based ORGs, 1 Big Brother ORG, 1 MTV's The Challenge ORG and 1 Multi-Format ORG.

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    Brian Corridan: Brian is very smart and egotistical without being exuberant about it. He manages to come across as intelligent without shoving it into people's faces and is very Northeast/Ivy League, despite struggling to adapt into his cast in his season. I feel like he's a big fan and analyzes his knowledge of the game to not only be smart, but to also be strategic.

    Sarah Dawson: Dawson was somebody who was a big fan of the game and applied that to her time and used her strengths to her advantage. Despite coming in 13th, she made a big impact on the game and made herself memorably by kissing Jeff Probst. However, she was a very social player and she embodies the fact that social game is a big part of Survivor and shows the earliest essence of it. In her secret scenes she expressed that her strategy was to make everybody comfortable with her, which went into her attire in that she was very visible and bright in the game, making a presence.

    Jessica Kiper: Sugar is a rare player in that she's a very emotional player who took control of the game ass backwards but had a big effect on Gabon and its outcome, nobody could argue that. Despite being a basket case after HvV she controlled the game strictly through emotions and displayed how Survivor is much deeper than a strategical/physical game and it has many layers.

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    Danni Boatwright: Danni is often not respected as a winner but I think she had a great strategy that was outside of the box of a simple pagonging. Her tribe came into the merge without the numbers and she managed to turn that around and not only do that but get 6 jury votes. Her strategical and social game was pretty awesome, and she wasn't bad in challenges. She convinced the majority group to vote her off last and then used her skills to turn them against each other and then finalized her gameplay by winning the FIC and seperating the F2 deal.

    Cirie Fields: Cirie represents the people who are typically typecasted in these games by going far in 2/3 of her visits, the one she wasn't successful in was where she openly admitted to not trying as hard and wanting to relax in that game instead of taking the gameplay further, and she was only blindsided and idoled to keep the tribe strong not because anybody really wanted her gone. But she is somebody who is not physical and can focus on strategic and social game and would've won in both of her better appearances had she made it far in the game.

    Abi-Maria Gomes: In a season of stars, Abi definitely stood out and made her name in the Survivor world. She was fierce and never stood back and never gave up, tearing her ACL on Day 1 of the game and still continuing to last until Day 37 I believe, doing 36 days of surviving in those conditions and on top of doing challenges and still lasting. She betrayed RC, found the idol, managed to survive TWICE past where she was supposed to go, win an immunity that gave her an amazing edit.

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    My initial reaction would be shock because it all depends on who it is, my relationship with them and why they decided to confront me. But I will try my best to handle it tactfully but by no means am I submissive, I'm a go-getter if I want them to know something, I'll let them know and if it causes conflict, who cares but if its on the boards they BETTER be ready.

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    If I had the option to how I was portrayed I'd portray myself accurately but also positively. I have a problem holding my tongue so America would probably hate me ala Colton to some of the comments I'd made, but Id'give myself a CPN or UTRM edit depending on what place I get and how far I make it into the game. If I win CPN, If I gom id merge mainly UTRN/MORN - I want to be a bit negative but not all the times, not a complete villain but somebody who is cutthroat and strategic.

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    I think I'll be portrayed as somebody who is a bit lazy, but knows the game and knows what they are doing to some extent, being relatively analytical and smart about the game whilst trying their best to get further and advance in the game.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I get along with people who are slightly mean, I usually bond with people in games because of a mutual hate for others, so I'm going to bond with those who find others annoying, who are critical/sarcastic.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    I personally clash with control freaks and extremes; extremes are just people who are just all the way to one side no matter what they do, who can't be swayed no matter what. I can't stand them and how they play and how they live, and control freaks just can't control me, so we clash.

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    I most respect the gameplays based on "Suggesting, not Telling" That is when you have an alliance, don't TELL Them what to do but ask them so they feel secure with you and your alliance and deal with them and that they feel like they have significant power. This was practiced mostly by Yul from Cook Islands and Brian from Thailand.

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    Going into the game my strategy is pure integration. Integrate myself into the group, be known in the group, have everybody know me and be comfortable with me and always get included in plans. I'm not going to secure myself to a side early, I'm going to be active, I'm going to try my hardest in challenges and I'm just going to go all out in this game.

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    I like cake, and I'm full of character and I give sexy confessionals.

    Are you available to check messages throughout the day? Yes

    1. How much time can you devote to the game? What are your problem hours of the day?

    Well this game starts during school so my problem hours on tuesdays and thursdays are like all day, I'd probably only really be able to make it to live rounds. But monday, wednesday, friday plus weekends I'm more or less free. I guess on average I'd say like 6-8 hours a day I'd be able to devote

    2. What is your main motivation for playing?

    I just want to see what Stranded is about, I keep hearing things about it and not ever playing it so I wanted a shot before it was too late, even though the timing isn't ideal

    3. Have you played in other online games? If so, how many/what type?

    Yes, I've played mostly on ORGY, and I've played 16 games total. Games of all types, though I haven't played too many straight survivor games

    4. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants match your personality the best and how?

    I'd say characters like Courtney Yates, for the UTRN bitchiness, Peih-Gee for the CPM underdog, and maybe Erik Huffman for the MORP likeability. And yes I chose all contestants from China, I don't know why. I guess I have it on my mind

    5. Which 3 "SURVIVOR" contestants are your favorite and why?

    I love contestants that bare their souls and are passionate, Peih-Gee is an obvious favorite for those reasons. Crystal is another one who wasn't afraid to share her soul with people and put it all on the line. Chase is another favorite of mine for the struggle he went through and his willingness to put feeling into his game

    6. If confronted by a fellow castaway, what would your initial reaction be?

    I'm very argumentative and stubborn so I'd probably argue back loudly. Later when I calm down I'd try to patch up wounds but I get a little bit in the moment

    7. How would you like to be portrayed on the real show if you had the option?

    I'd want to be portrayed as pretty UTR, being unnoticed for the most part except for my few moments of brilliance, I'd also like to be shown as competent despite it without having the large amounts of airtime that 'gamers' tend to be given these days

    8. How do you think you would actually be portrayed?

    Probably MORN, lazy, and inconsequential.

    9. What personality types do you typically get along with?

    I usually get along with people who are willing to lay things on the line and are genuine. I also like people who are willing to give real opinions on people rather than fake ones.

    10. What personality types do you typically clash with?

    Fake people who are saying one thing to my face and another thing to other people's faces. I can't stand that, especially if I get wind of it

    11. What style of game play do you most respect?

    I like when people are unafraid to announce what they want and command the respect and ability to do so. I admire people who can do that

    12. What is your strategy going into the game?

    I want to go in underestimated so that people won't realize how much of a threat I am going into the end game, then before it's too late they don't know whats happened

    Take this opportunity to tell us anything about yourself that you would like us to know.

    Like I said, I'm going to be in school during this and I'm taking 19 credits which is the most I've ever taken, and I'm doing this to graduate on time. But I do want to experience Stranded and see what it's all about. If I do get accepted I would definitely put in time and energy in this game, you won't be casting an inactive. But I'm just warning you that I do have a large school commitment this semester. So I do understand if you are hesitant to cast me.
