Motherlake

Motherlake, also known as Mads, is a player from Social Experiment and Survivor: The Emerald City. She was a moderator during Big Brother: Stranger Things, Hacked, Social Experiment II, and Social Experiment III. She also made the logos for all three Social Experiment seasons.
In Social Experiment, Motherlake played a strategic game and used her advantages effectively to progress through the game as a voting block with the Dyer Five, co-created with her close friend Dyer. Her willingness to go against a close ally in the endgame showed her commitment to the game. She also received the Challenge Beast award alongside The Bomber.
Returning in Survivor: The Emerald City, Motherlake played safe for the pre-merge - even going as far as changing her profile and donning a wholesome persona. Motherlake ran Scientia tribe after the tribe swap with her alliance of Evie and Dawn; she was able to blindside Esteban in the tribe council before merge. At the merge, Motherlake played the middle ground and collected information about other players' idols, even finding a Hidden Immunity Idol herself. However, her plan to blindside Dyer with The Breakfast Club was leaked by Lazy, which lead to her being voted out with an idol in her pocket.

Motherlake was randomly placed on Green team; she immediately started working closely with her pre-existing ally, Dyer, to target players who were difficult to socialize with. The pair eliminated Meels early on when Dyer became the Executor. Motherlake's game progressed well, and she was randomly awarded the Flower of Life advantage in the fifth round, which allowed her to revive any deceased player at any given time.
In Round 12, Motherlake and the majority of the Dyer Five alliance voted for Cat, but the plan was unsuccessful. Motherlake was then paired with Natasza at the Soul Link twist; teamwork proved to be a challenge due to Natasza's friendships with players who had been targeted by Motherlake. However, the duo was chosen to duel each other and Motherlake emerged victorious in the Semantris Duel.
Due to surviving the Duel, Motherlake was granted immunity for two rounds, which allowed her to survive the Nosedive round, in which she received the highest score of 3.38★. She continued working with the Dyer Five alliance and functioned effectively as a voting block, staying under the radar due to the inactivity of the majority of the cast.
In the Final 6, Motherlake was in a strong position, which became a Final 8 after she revived Salahaddin with her Flower of Life and The Bomber revived Henry. Motherlake worked with the Dyer Five alliance to ensure an easy endgame by voting for LnR to advance through every round of the Resurrection Bracket, as he was inactive and easy to eliminate again.
At the Final 6, all players competed in the Survival of the Fittest challenge. Alongside Melanie, a fellow Dyer Five member, Motherlake lost the challenge and was eliminated from the game. In Revenge of the Ghosts, Motherlake voted to eliminate Dyer, despite their close friendship. She was motivated by anger, as she felt that Dyer lacked sympathy, despite not having any involvement in her loss in the challenge that led to her elimination. This decision demonstrated Motherlake's determination to win, even if it meant going against someone she considered a friend.
In the Finale, Motherlake voted for The Bomber to win Social Experiment over Jamie - both of them Dyer Five members. The Bomber won with a 4-2 vote and unanimous points.

 In Round 20, it is unknown who voted for whom, as most of the confessionals in Social Experiment were lost. In Round 19, Dyer stood in Court for his crimes of executing Meels in Round 1. The other players had to vote between killing and saving Dyer. In Round 22, players could not vote, as the eliminated players controlled the votes due to the 'Revenge of the Ghosts' twist.

Interview
Interviewed on 19th December 2022
Age: 18 (during Survivor: The Emerald City, not during the interview)
Birthday: 20th December
Nationality: 
Which alumni in this server are you familiar with, be it negative or positive??
I’m familiar with Dyer, Andrew, and Gigi.
Dyer - a little bit of all three, I have played with him multiple times and have beat him a lot, like literally won orgs against him because he’s that bad.. But I’m also his friend, so I guess u can say a bit of personally emotional and strategically emotional. This relationship is /pos
Andrew - Same as dyer but we havent played together once so we are personally close, this is a positive relationship
Gigi - I’ve modded in her season, and then i’ve also like been her therapist but I dont really like her even tho she thinks I do so its a one-sided negative relationship
What do you think people will perceive you as?
On my season I was a bit quiet and did most of my work behind the scenes, I worked with one of the most strategic alliances, and I beat a few people In challenges or just in the game. So I don’t really think people will know me when the season starts since I wasn’t the “flashiest player” and the only award I got was comp beast, and I also didn’t win. If anyone (like Dyer) does play with me I will definitely be a lot more flashy when Im playing to make sure that my gameplay isnt predictable (ex. mikeys, rode dyer’s coattails to the end and than cut him off which was a big move and a reason why i won.) I used this gameplay multiple times so I now know to do the opposite to make sure Dyer doesn’t like… beat me
What is your intended approach and gameplay style?
Okay so I kinda explained this in my last answer but I definitely wanna be a super flashy cutthroat player, one people are so scared of that they don’t even wanna initiate first conversation, this is a tactic to make people prostrate to me, be scared to spread rumors, and want to work with me so they can be guaranteed safely.There are a few flaws to this gameplay which is definitely near the end in the terms of winning. People will usually near the F5 just make a whole 4 person alliance excluding the cutthroat player just so they can make sure he gets voted out. I know this because this happened in multiple orgs I was in, once I was on the outside of the alliance and was the cutthroat player, and the other I was inside the alliance trying to get the cutthroat player out. So my gameplay will be strategic cutthroat early and mid game, than during the end I will stay quiet and be submissive to people and do what they want. I will give off the appearance that I’ve given up so people will be like “it’ll be fine to bring her to FTC because even though she has made a huge impact on the game she has now given up and will therefore give a bad ftc performance.) Ive won 4 orgs and havent really tried this strategy before so It is stepping outside my comfort zone. But I don’t care about winning the game, I care about leaving a mark. Not all the best players are winners.
What unique qualities or skills do you bring to the table that differentiate you from other possible players for this season?
Well, like I mentioned earlier, I will be bringing forth a newer gameplay (or atleast try too.) Honestly I think what makes me unique is that I’m not really unique. I just kinda do my own thing, theres not a certain quality that differentiates me because I’m a wildcard, It’s like I have a wonderland system. I can have 50 personalities! And thats whats fun about me. I can pretend to be anything and anyone and I can just confuse people and twist and change the game and lie and manipulate easy. I think another thing that makes me unique is that I know how to mirror personalities, when I’m with a 14 year old gay man I’ll be like “hey siss” but when I’m with a 30 year old indian man I can be like “Hey How was ur day? Mine was hectic lol.” These traits make me, definitely different!
Motherlake was one of the eighteen returning contestants in Survivor: The Emerald City and was placed on the red Virtus tribe with a former Dyer Five member and winner of Social Experiment, The Bomber. In the beginning, Motherlake's goal was to be excessively wholesome whilst playing it safe until the tribes merge. She also changed her identity - profile picture and about me - to fit this new persona. Whilst playing safe under this persona, Motherlake contemplated how she could vote out Dyer at the eventual merge, as revenge for him "lacking sympathy" in Social Experiment. Additionally, Motherlake made a swift friendship with BB: Stranger Things winner Dawn. 
At the Day 5 immunity challenge, Toto's Trails, Motherlake had to find a list of items online for the cheapest price. Despite finding the loophole of making a sale listing for her own dog, the tribe still lost, and The Bomber was voted out due to his inactivity. Virtus tribe avoided the subsequent tribal council thanks to Motherlake's story writing. Motherlake attempted The Emerald Trials, but it was too stressing for her; this prompted the episode title "It Caused Me to Stim and I Got Overwhelmed".
After a surprise tribe swap on Day 11, Motherlake luckily swapped to Scientia with her close ally Dawn, and they became a trio with Evie, who also came from Virtus tribe. Unfortunately for the trio, Scientia faced a winning streak. Star was voted out; although Dawn and Evie each received a stray vote no conflict occurred. Drake, an over-the-top player, scored 2 points in the entirety of the Only Connect challenge and was voted out unanimously, allowing Motherlake and her allies to play it safe. Due to Esteban's threat level and villainous gameplay in Social Experiment II, Motherlake knew that being in a tribe of only five castaways before the merge was the prime opportunity to blindside Esteban. As Motherlake's allies of Evie and Dawn made 3, they left LnR and Esteban himself in the dark, resulting in an effortless 3-2 tribal council.
When the tribes merged on Day 18, Motherlake had a crucial piece of information which she had harvested from Esteban previously. As Esteban and Dyer were in an alliance together on Amor tribe, Esteban knew Dyer had an idol and Motherlake also knew this. Motherlake confronted Dyer about this and he confessed. She then immediately completed The Emerald Trials which involved getting the favourite movie of every other castaway, passing a Season Trivia challenge, and then completing a 24-hour period with no DM communication. This meant that Motherlake successfully had the Elphaba tribe Hidden Immunity Idol, and she was added to The Breakfast Club (referred to as The Toxic Clique after the season) alliance consisting of the original Virtus members. 
During the Auction challenge, Motherlake won a surprise gift of a "date" with alumni Karen. Whilst this was meant to be a joke gift, and strategizing with Karen wasn't allowed, Karen still gave Motherlake tips about the strategic gameplay of other players - namely Dyer. As a result, the date was shut down; this prompted the episode title "My Date Got Cancelled". During the rest of this episode, Motherlake's life got too hectic and she didn't do much else. However, she notably voted for Ryan to go home, despite the fact that The Breakfast Club alliance discussed voting for LnR. Evie also did the same and voted for Ryan. Motherlake and Evie likely did this due to the bond they formed with LnR on Scientia.
Voting for Ryan at the merge tribal council but avoiding detection from her alliance placed Motherlake perfectly in the middle of the tribe for the next tribal council. Thanks to this clever positioning, Motherlake was able to collect information about Aiden's idol, but realizing he was likely not going to use it, she voted out Aiden to save Amree, a friend and member of The Breakfast Club. When making this decision, Motherlake may have also taken into account previous ORGs she played with Aiden, in which he played in a clever and unpredictable style.
At the final 9, Motherlake knew that The Breakfast Club alliance had a majority of five and could blindside Dyer, and send him home either with an idol in his pocket, or successfully flush the idol and send LnR home. For Motherlake, either situation was a win. After Motherlake shared her pitch with The Breakfast Club, Lazy felt compelled to tell Dyer about it. This was due to their close-knit bond as a duo, which was unknown to others. Whilst Motherlake had a Hidden Immunity Idol, the Tribal Council was scheduled awkwardly for her and she did not have time to play it on herself before she went to class. This resulted in Motherlake's idol going unused and, with Dyer using his Extra Vote for good measure, Motherlake was voted out 5-3-1.
At the Final Tribal Council, Motherlake joined the jury in voting for Amree to win the title of Sole Survivor.
In her post-season interview, Motherlake stated that she has decided to drop grudges and the biggest personal connection she made was with Dawn.
