Tell me a bit about yourself outside of the game. What are your hobbies, interests, or passions?
Alright then! So for starters obviously you know my name is Cryo, and I am currently a student. Right now im studying English in hopes of being a writer. Why? Well its because I love writing! Writing and storytelling is one of, if not my main hobby. Ever since I was a kid i've always been coming up with some crazy story in my head, and thats something I just kinda continued to do throughout my whole life, and now im working to turn that into my career. I have a few other interests, like any Gen Z boy who's on discord, I love to play games! My favorite right now would be a game called Cult of the Lamb, if you want info on that game, google it.
Back to my passion of writing. It's genuinely the thing I enjoy most, I come up with a LOT of stories, but I only write a few of them, mostly because I cant write multiple at once. I cant split my attention like that.
I only started taking writing seriously about a year ago when I started to write a book (I call it a book since its genuinely the length of one)
Its possibly the only thing im genuinely proud of when it comes to writing, its called The Hero Association. i wont share too much detail with that as im sure you dont care that much, but you should know that I started writing that when I was 17, and it took me a whole 5 months until I finally finished the first draft. Im actually currently working on the second draft in hopes of making the story better as a whole.
A small interest of mine is History, it was always the subject I was best at in school, so i've taken a small interest in learning about the worlds history. In my Sophomore class I apparently had the highest grade in history in the entire school! So thats a cool fun fact about me.
Explain to us what your general strategy is going into any ORG - unrelated to its format or twists. Then, could you point out any flaws in your gameplay?
So it depends on how im feeling when I first go into an org, but I can give you my general strategy that has worked for me in the past. Usually the very first thing I do is try and establish a bond with the people on my tribe, or anyone that I come across in the game. One of the most important aspects of this game is making sure that people like you, not just as a player but as a person too. I think the social game is BY FAR the most important. From that point on I tend to lay low, I try and insert myself, or create a majority that I can stick with for however long I need to. One thing that I have tried to do in more recent times is pay attention to the bigger threats in the game, and try to take them out as soon as I can.
The UTR style of gameplay is something i am EXTREMELY good at, I have gotten far in almost every single org 6/9 orgs, and have made merge in 7/9
Well one of those times where I didn't make it far was a 24 person org where I got 12th, i dont know if you count that as going for but whatever.
I've tried to slither my way out of the UTR style of gameplay since, while I am good at it, its never gotten me the win that I want so much
My flaws? Well for starters when I get comfortable i tend to sink into that comfort and not do anything else. One thing I need to learn to do is make the necessary decisions that will benefit me, i cant be timid when it comes to the game. The UTR style can get me far but it cant get me the win that i want. I need to be bold with what I do, that is as evident as anything else. I tend to be too shy when it comes to establishing alliances and strategic bonds, and thats something im intending of fixing. I also tend to be too reckless, which is also something im gonna try and keep in check
How will you adapt your personality and your strategy to better fit the twist of being with your duo?
I will not be adapting my personality at all! I am going to be authentically me! Most of the time at least. Obviously we all put on different faces to different people and over time as we become more comfortable we show more and more of our true selves, yes this is probably something that I am going to be subconsciously doing, but I wont be altering my personality in any way, although Im sure thats not really what you're asking.
My strategy is going to be generally the same thing though, but im going to try and work closely with my duo. I think me and him could genuinely be powerhouses in this org, as long as the two of work together, we could create a strong alliance and further ourselves. I have no allegiances except for him, he'll be my #1 for the entire game. All the duo's are going to be together in the game, and they're all gonna work with one another, so im not special in this regard, but as long as the two of us work together and are smart we can make just about anything work.
I think a lot of duo's are gonna want to try and hide how close they are, thats not gonna be the case for me. I dont care about that because obviously we ARE close if we're playing this org together.
My strategy is going to be the same, make connections and play as hard as you can for the entire time you're there, but this time i get to add in the special case of BB10, someone I know I can trust.
As a host, confessionals are one of the most important things to me! How do you tackle your confessionals? Do you update them live with your thought process, or info dump at the end of an episode, or something else?
So when it comes to confessionals, I update them as frequently as I can! Most of it will be about the game, thats normal I feel like, but sometimes you'll get little snippets of my life as a person! I sometimes update them live with my thoughts, and other times I do info dump, and sometimes I'll even give little late night rants about anything since confessionals are almost like little journals I feel I can talk in. One thing I do with my confessionals is I try to tell a story in them, I try to make it interesting for everyone else to read, and I think i do a pretty good job at that to say the least. So im a little bit of a mix of everything when it comes to my confessionals, I do a lot, so you'll certainly be seeing a lot of my thoughts when it comes to just about everything!
I dont have any places I could send you to unfortunately, nor do I have any screenshots so uhh

How do you handle conflict or disagreements with others?
I vote them out
Okay actually. I try to explain myself as best as I can and I also try and understand where they are coming from. Usually they have a good reason to be mad and I as a functional human being have to understand that. Now there are times where the other person is being batshit crazy, and in that scenario the ideal thing to do is to not escalate the situation further. I usually dont get into serious arguments with people, but sometimes when I do I can get heated, but as Ive grown up Ive come to fix that about myself. Im much more empathetic and understanding toward other people and their emotions.
So when it comes to having a disagreement, I try to be as understanding as possible, even if im right I have to understand where they are coming from
If its a disagreement about the game, I do the same exact thing, I have to understand where they are coming from and try to explain my side in a way that doesn't make them more angry.
Basically, I try to be as mature as possible in conflicts. Now SOMETIMES if its a nonserious thing, I'll just go insane.
One time I had an argument with my friend about how to pronounce the word "Tarot"
I would not let this go
Me and him actually argued about this for like an hour, and the thing is, I knew I was wrong, but I refused to admit it.
