Courage Tribal Council 1

Hey you forgot to change question 5 when you copy pasted this

1. I think that playing a public advantage this early in the game is unlikely. Big moves are a part of Survivor, but doing that in round one? Unless you already were the target it's just going to put a target on your back.

2. We're the social tribe, and I think socialising and bonding is the one thing we're good at! Even if people play it round-to-round, the bonds shape the game especially if we've got twists like tribe swaps and the like. You don't want to be burning bridges this early.

3. I think everybody needs to win immunity in the first vote. Everybody on the tribe is here because they're good at the social game. That includes things like "making people feel comfortable when they're about to be blindsided". It's already difficult enough at the first tribal council to know what'll happen, but being with these kinds of players just makes it scarier.

4. I think we definitely live up to the typecast. The start of the game has been "oh, everybody's so nice!" which was a new and unexpected experience.

5. I think that the Power Players are gonna laugh at us and the Wisdom Players are going to ask us to use our social skills to make their plans come to fruition. We're in the best position to be underestimated by everyone else. It's just that we're all the players that know how great social play is and... that means that until we get to a tribe swap we have no advantage over each other. Because we all are great at making friends.

6. I would say you have two types of courage players. Those who build genuine relationships and play from the heart, and those who build fake relationships to take advantage of to further their game. Who's playing which style? That's another question and we probably won't find out for a while.

1. It's Survivor, so of course it's always a concern when an advantage is given out. It's even more anxiety inducing when you don't know what the advantage is or who it went to! As for being used immediately, again, that depends entirely on the advantage, I would think. I'm sure everyone would agree that it's best to save any sort of advantage for as long as possible.

2. All of it is important. Of course you want to build real bonds! That's a huge part of the fun in these games!! It is also well known that you have to be able to adapt to whatever situation you found yourself in. Probably being able to find that balance will be key!

3. I really believe that not a single person on this tribe has done anything that is worthy of being voted for. So with that logic, I think depending on the previous question and how our fellow tribemates have decided to play their game, everyone would sleep tonight a little easier with immunity! You can tell that we have all had a great time getting to know each other and I don't think any of us are looking forward to this vote.

4. Oh, gosh, yes, 1000000000% we are definitely the social tribe. Which is why I am struggling even more! I am always drawn to social players so to be on a team with ALL social players is both the best and worst because now we have to vote for one of our kind?!

5. The answer to both is: Yes! It would be against my nature to try and play as anything else so of course I'll continue to be who I am. However, I think that anyone on the Power or Wisdom tribe could also be extremely social. So, maybe we will just look like weak, babbling, dumb dumbs and Power and Wisdom will attack each other?! Who knows!

6. I think that courage could mean a multitude of things, but it's definitely going to be associated with being social given the other two tribes. I think with courage, comes the necessary act of vulnerability. To be more social is a vulnerability but my goodness, is it vital in finding people you can trust!

1. A public advantage was available for grabs. Are you worried about who may have gotten it and whether it will have any immediate implications for this vote?

Sidon makes a good point here, if someone was comfortable enough to go for the advantage then they're likely comfortable enough to not play it right away.

2. Do you feel that it's more important to begin to build bonds now, or do you think a more situational round to round approach is a better strategy in a complex level game? Why do you think that?

You should be trying to build bonds no matter what point in the game it is

3. Do you believe Royal White Horse needed to win immunity for this vote? Why or Why not?

It is an uncertain time..Anybody would have done well to have it.

4. You were placed on the Courage tribe. Do you think your tribe lives up to the typecast it was given or do you think there are “weak Links” so to speak?

It lives up to it, all right. Not sure I appreciate that capitalization..

5. Are you worried whether or not Being a Courage has a negative stigma attached to it, or are you ready to embrace the characteristic you were given?

what the fuck's wrong with being courageous?

6. What do you believe are the traits that someone labelled a “Courage” could exude or do you see it as a pretty one dimensional trait?

Brave, outgoing, and the possessor of a good ass.

So Sidon's the bravest of us all?
