== Mercury Player Profile ==
Name: Nuge 
Age: 20 
Gender: Male
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 
Time Zone: Mountain Time 
Occupation: Still at McDonalds (btw kinda glad I did there are more cute girls that I work with, not a huge deal but it is a nice luxury)
2. 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 Mercury?
Yes I have played orgs before. I have played over 50 games(this is an estimate since I have lost count) in 3 different platforms. I played Sarvivor Season 5 recently. I will be in another org starting October 31, that wasn't a part of my plan but I was very flattered with the invite I had to accept it
3. What was the first season of Survivor you ever watched, and why? 
The first season of Survivor that I watched was Survivor: Philippines. The reason was my family just moved to Canada and we were searching for TV shows. We found Survivor: Philippines and BB14. I was born in Philippines and we decided to check it out. I fell in love with the show quickly
4. What is your most mediocre achievement? 
Graduating High School
5. Give us your most unpopular Survivor opinion: 
Off the top of my head, Survivor Cambodia or better known as Survivor 2nd chance is an AVERAGE season at best. Majority of the people overrate it because of "BiG mOvEz". The story was a mess due to everyone overplaying
6. Anything can be a weapon if you’re holding it right. What unconventional weapon would you like to pack to bring to Mercury with you? You know. Just in case. 
Spoon 
7. The music player is busted on the spaceship and we don’t get Spotify out here. You may pack one (1) CD to bring with you on this journey. What are you bringing?
Michael Jackson's "Thriller"(edited)
8. If you were asked to give a presentation on something random that you are an expert in, what would you talk about? 
Sports analytics. Specifically baseball, basketball, and hockey. Even more specifically since baseball and basketball are more in tune with modern analytics. I will say Hockey Analytics since hockey as a whole community is stuck in very old school ways
9. Of the three tenets of Survivor, which one do you think you’re the best at: Outwitting, Outplaying, or Outlasting?
This was tough at first and I had to search the definition for each word. To me it is easy. Out of the 3 tenets of Survivor, I am best at Outwitting. Jeff Probst described Outwit as "the social part of the game your emotional intelligence, your alliances and the relationships you had outside of those alliances". The social aspect is the best part of my gameplay. I may not be the most emotional intelligent person but I have good reads on people and very perceptive of the social cues they give away. Usually in a game I will set myself up early in a majority. That's because on the pre merge portion of the game I am very much fine being on the bottom as long as I'm in the majority. As long as I'm in the majority at the beginning I have a base I can work with and it will set me up for longevity. Now even though I'm in the majority at the beginning I am open to every avenue possible, I am flexible and willing to listen to what the people outside of the majority has to offer. I always try to be in a flexible position because at merge the best position to be in is to be the person with multiple options.
== Sol Player Profile == 
1. Name, age, pronouns, time zone, and previous Cosmic season and placement? 
Nuge, 20, he/him, Mountain, Mercury 3rd place
2. Why do you think you were asked to return?
Short answer: Chaos Nuge Long answer: I was THE underdog of the season. I don't care what anyone says I went through the most shit that season and still clawed my way to 3rd. I always took advantage of the smallest cracks and made it work for me.
3. If you could take a vacation anywhere, where would you go and why? 
Philippines. I haven't been back there ever since moving to Canada and I do miss the family I have left behind
4. What is your favorite thing about ORGs? Least favorite thing?
It's a great hobby. Obviously I'm a huge Survivor fan so this is a way for me to play my favourite game albeit it being a simulation The amount of friendships destroyed by it. I personally have never had that issue because before coming here to discord, I came from a Twitter community where the meta is to betray each other. I've only seen a few friendships threatened or destroyed because of games on that community. In here, every fucking all star game friendships get destroyed or threatened. Which was a shock to me because discord has a much older community and I would think they are more mature than Twitter that is filled with teenagers/young adults
5. Who do you think is the biggest threat in this game? 
Chief because he has way too many connections and is too good socially
6. Name 3 things that make you smile/laugh. 
Money, video games, and sports(this is debatable but not too many things make me smile anyways)(edited)
7. What did you learn from your last game in this series, and how will you use it to succeed this time? 
I was too passive socially to start the game. I barely approached people unless it was necessary and because of that I fell behind the 8 ball. I was forced to play catch up the whole season. If I can set myself up with a decent start then I'll be dangerous and should be a guarantee to make merge. That's a big ass IF. I took the lesson I learned from Mercury and applied it to Jorvivor 8. I ran Jorvivor Germany Alps just by being aggressive with my social game but it took a lot of energy and it killed me.
This season I will be aggressive right off the bat. My archetype is the worst for all star seasons. The moment I go UTR people will have their guard up on me because I have the chaos reputation that I proudly wear. I just want to make merge. I have a lot to prove to myself that I can still be the player that consistently goes deep. I have to prove to myself that I can do well in an all star season. I don't ever expect myself to win a discord org so I just wanna make it deep every time from now on. All star seasons are always meta so I have to prepare myself for that, I don't have lots of connections. I'm just a side bitch for everyone so I gotta make sure I cut their main peeps and force them to need me
8. What is your favorite family vacation memory as a kid? 
When I got rabies from a dog bite(edited)
9. Is there a person on the cast you would love to work with but never have yet? What draws you to them?
 Austin: He seems like a cool dude Tyler: He's a sport junkie like me Marina: She's a cool chick and is close with Keaton
