Have you played any orgs before? If yes, how many and what did you play most recently? Are you playing any others at the same time as this one?
I have played ORGs before! I originally played them from 2001-2007 back on AIM and forum message boards! I recently began playing on Discord last summer, and have been in 8 games. My most recent games were $urvivor: Temple of Temptation and CharitORG All Stars. I will not be playing any other games during this one.
Give us your most unpopular Survivor opinion
I hate advantages and idols of all kinds! I stopped watching and playing Survivor before the modern version of idols and now playing I feel like all those old school winners in WaW. In the 8 games I've played, I've only had advantages in two of them, and while I was able to use them well, I would rather have games focused on relationships.
What is your coolest party trick? Any unusual talents?
I read tarot and usually have a deck on me to do readings whenever the opportunity arises! I have... a lot of tarot decks. I wouldn't say it's a problem but it is definitely an unusual amount
What is your favorite piece of sci-fi or space-related media?
I have too many! Le Guin and Butler are classics, I love shows that mix intrigue and sci-fi like Battlestar Galactica, and throw in some 90s angsty anime and space romance video games and you'd round out my interests. There is actually a sci-fi inflected part of the design world called speculative design that I dabble in, and that would currently be my favorite media both to work in and consume, but hardly anyone knows about that stuff 😂
I pull tarot cards for my video confessionals, so you'll get a taste!
What have you been doing to stay busy during the quarantine? What can you not wait to do again?
I basically live parallel lives through Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I am absolutely dying to get to the beach, I absolutely need the world to get cured so I can have a proper summer. But honestly, I really miss rooftop bars and pub patios with friends, I miss the energy of other people a lot.
Do you watch the Olympics? If so what is your favorite sport to watch? What's the lamest to watch?
I am a typical gymnastics and figure skating bitch. I also tend to watch track & field because my parents' countries tend to perform well in those. I do like the energy of the Olympics though, I've just totally forgotten about it because of everything.
If you were asked to give a presentation on something random that you are an expert in, what would you talk about?
This is my entire job! My area of specialty is in game design and if it was you all who asked I would present on the formal element of reality games and how they blur play/fiction and 'real life.'
Of the three tenets of Survivor, which one do you think you’re the best at: Outwitting, Outplaying, or Outlasting?
What an interesting question! I think I probably excel at Outwitting over the rest. I'm horrible at challenges and don't like advantages, and come around mid-merge I tend to become highly threatening by my very nature and often become a target. However something that has always gotten me through my weaknesses is a strong social game and my ability to form relationships and have those help me out in the game when my challenge performances and survivability are weak.
How is that going to help you win Survivor: Rings of Saturn?
I think information is the most important piece of playing this game and winning it. Knowing opens up viable possibility spaces to act in and choose the best direction forward. The more you know about what is going on and what everyone is thinking, the better intuition you'll have about what needs to be done in order to get to the end. And sometimes that knowledge is having to win immunity or some other less-social tactic!
