## Pikachu's Revenge Player Profile

**1.) What important things should specs know about you?**

Hi spectators, my name is Parker! I am 24 years old and I work as a Financial Analyst at a tools company. I graduated college a little over a year ago and I have been working full time since then. I absolutely love to travel, but due to COVID-19 restrictions that has limited me quite a bit so I have picked up ORGs in its place! Currently I am living and working from home in Connecticut but I have lived all around the country for school and work experience. I went to school in New Orleans and have worked in major cities like LA, Boston, and Indianapolis. Besides work, some of my hobbies include ice hockey (hence the username haha), skiing, video games, and of course survivor! Growing up through my high school and college years I had a decent sized Minecraft YouTube channel which got around 20k subscribers but is slowly losing subs since I am inactive due to work haha (here’s the link to it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5RXHkzo6rsos9XGwgXh6ww). But hey it was a pretty sweet part time job while I was in school! I’ll keep this brief because I am sure you will get to know me a lot more throughout the season, but that is a quick little introduction about me!

**2.) Why should specs pick you in their drafts and winners picks?**

The real question...why shouldn’t you pick me…? I’ll play hard and put on a good show! I have a pretty good track record in ORGs, but we will have to see if it carries over here (I never like to come into an ORG overly cocky no matter how well I’ve done in past seasons). I’ve played four text-based ORGs (all in a different community) and I’ve won 3 of them and got player of the season (5th place) in the other one! The good news is looking at the cast I don’t think anyone should know me or how I play so hopefully I’ll be able to use that to my advantage. I tend to play better in voice calls as I feel like I am a way better speaker and can truly understand how someone is feeling through voice, but I usually don’t start getting into voice until later in the game (depending on how hard the cast is playing).

**3.) If you win this season, what will be the reason?**

f I win the season, it will definitely be because of my strategic game. I usually play pretty hard so winning at the end usually isn't my problem, it is just getting there. I'll probably play slow at the start and just play a strong social game. I am strong enough socially and at the challenge part of the game where I shouldn't need to talk much game day 1. But as the game picks up, you will most likely not finding myself holding back. I am a pretty well rounded player, and hopefully I can show that this season!

**4.) If you LOSE this season, what would be the reason?**

If I LOSE this season...which hopefully I won't ;). It will most likely be due to my threat level management. It is something I have improved upon significantly in previous ORGs, but it still tends to bite me later down the line. I am usually forced to win out by final 5 which I don't think is a bad thing, but I don't like relying on challenges in seasons so I am hoping I can do a better job at it!

## Twisted Metal All Stars Player Profile

**1.) How do you feel being named an all-star? What is your motivation this season? What makes you an all-star?**

Its definitely a great feeling ! In season 4 I had the biggest target on my back from final 18 onwards and still ended up getting to the end and winning. I think my threat level is going to be up there no matter what. The reason I am an All Star is I think strategically I made big moves throughout my whole season and I had like 80% have me in their top 3 of their trust rankings. My motivation this season is to prove I can do it again. Many would probably say that I have 0 shot at winning this season...but I don't know about that one . I will fuck shit up this season, and that's without question. If I go out early, it won't be without a fight. For anyone cheering me on, I won't let you down! I am coming in hot and ready to play.

**2.) Which all star are you most excited to play with? Which all star are you most concerned/threatened/tentative about?**

I'll put people into categories

**MOST excited to play with:** Aidan, Jenny, Mr. Pink, Shaw, Lemons

**EXCITED to play with, but not sure on:** Ginge, Brock, Dan, Pit, Z, JP, Bam, Tony

**DECENTLY excited to play with:** Mars, Tobi, Jobre, Hannah, Swump

**THREATENED by:** Reiwa, Cream Cheese, Jim, Jacob, Riley

Now I am excited to play with everyone so the category names might not reflect everything, but basically the categories are more so ordered in people I can most likely see myself work with to people who I think will want me out.

The first category, **Aidan, Jenny, Mr. Pink, Shaw and Lemons**. These 5 in my eyes are massive players in this game and I need to work with the massive threats if I want any shot of going far in this game. They also all seem like they would be super fun to strategize with and talk to. **Aidan** reminded me of myself last season and I could totally see us making a duo of some sorta *secret duo* . **Jenny** is probably the person I am most excited to play with on the cast, I could totally see us doing a lot of damage together. I read through some of **Mr. Pink's** confessionals and he seems like he plays a similar game to me where he tries to be good with everyone which could be pretty good thing if we are both aligned. **Shaw** well this one should be obvious because Shaw was also a super dominant winner, Shaw is probably thinking the same thing I am thinking that it is almost like we NEED to work together. **Lemons**, I specced Lemons in BOTO and Lemons seems like a super loyal player and also someone who is not afraid to take threats to the end, I mean he himself is a massive threat but I honestly could see Lemons being UTR on this cast because I don't think anyone is going to want to target him.

The second category, **Ginge, Brock, Dan, Pit, Z, JP Bam, Tony**. I won't go into any of the people I touched on who I have played with but I'll touch on the people that I haven't talked about. **Ginge**, I could see Ginge being someone that I get along with a lot in this game, however Ginge doesn't strike me as someone who would stick their neck out for allies so that is why he isn't in the top tier, I see him as a really sociable guy and I would love to work with him given the chance but I could see him jumping ship. **JP**, I would absolutely love to work with, I think he will be down to work with me as well, I don't know enough about JP's playstyle to have a good read on it but I could totally see us working together. **Tony**, another winner which honestly I could see Tony being in the top category as well but I'll leave him here for now. Similar to Shaw I think Tony will see the winners working together as beneficial, but the reason I am hesitant to put him in the top category is I think Tony will never take Shaw or I to the end, but I could be wrong!

The third category, **Mars, Tobi, Jobre, Hannah, Swump**, I think these 5 are here just because I don't know enough about their play styles. I don't know if I can really comment on any of them. I get the impression that all of them might be a little intimidated with working with me, but the reason I don't have them in the threatened by category is I don't think they will actively be out to get me. I am excited to get to know all of them though! The one thing about some of these players, such as Mars and Hannah is I know they have played with my brother before. I just HOPE they don't have a vengeance against me because of it. My brother and I are two very different players

The fourth category, **Reiwa, CC, Jim, Jacob, Riley**. Now the reason these 5 are here is because I genuinely feel like they would be out to get me due to my past season. I feel like these 5 may not have as open of a mind and therefore I am going to just be a little cautious. **Reiwa** for instance actively tried to take out big threats before the merge last season and I think I fit the criteria for the type of player she would try to take out. These people are also there because they seem like they would play super UTR. Like I said earlier, its going to be challenging for me to work with UTR players due to my threat level. I am going to be super open to working with anyone, even the people I am somewhat threatened by because going into a game tunnel visioned especially an All Star season like this is SUPER BAD. So I think I need to see how conversations go.

**3.) If you win the season, how are you going to accomplish it? //** **4.) If you don’t win the season, what would be the most likely reason?**

I'll answer these two together

I think if these people let me walk, then I will fly. I will need to quickly find people who are actually open to working with me. I know I am going to be a pretty large threat being the most recent winner that is playing the season so I need to hit the ground running. If the rest of the cast cuts me by the legs early before I can walk, then I don't think I stand much of a chance. I play very well if I get a structure and allies to back me up, I'll need to make multiple alliances and have back up plans if my initial strategy doesn't work out. I'll throw people under the bus this season, I will do anything it takes to further my own game. But I really need to be able to walk before I can fly. I really hope I am just not screwed from the start because of season 4 , but you never know. I will play hard, I will play fast, and I will put on a show! But I can't do that without getting situated first. I think my biggest thing I will need to accomplish is making other people have more of a target than me. It is pretty difficult to lower your target and threat level from where it is at, but I think I will need to do that. Initially, I think I will just need to go with the flow. I think once a swap hits is where I will start making money moves

## Character Ranking

**Season Character Rankings -**

**S4: 1. Parker**

*For the second season in a row, the winner tops out as number 1 in the season's player rankings. And there is a reason that Parker stands here. Simply put, the way he misted this cast was one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed. The entire cast besides Wisey and Shooflie had him in the top 5 in their trust ranking, and at least half had him as top 1 or 2! That is unbelievable! And yes, he did have secret duos with just about everyone, yet somehow even when confronted with these facts, people refused to see it because he made them feel so safe. Was Parker the biggest CHARACTER this season? No. Was he the best at jury management? Also no. But ultimately, he played a pretty near flawless game and anyone who took him on immediately saw their downfall. He was the kingpin and everyone else was the pawn. And while specs could not believe how people in his alliance did not see him coming, that is credit to his social game that he could hold onto the reigns so tight. In the wise words of Omar from The Wire, you come at the king, you best not miss. And all season, the cast missed. Congrats on your win Parker, you put on a true masterclass.*

**S6: 3. Parker 2.0**

*The difference between third and second on this ranking is about as close as you can possibly get. Like, I dont think I could slide a sheet of tissue paper between the difference here. Parker might be the single greatest ORG player I have ever watched. And I mean that truly. It may frustrate me to watch at times because I wanna see something new, but that's not a bad thing. It just means no matter who he plays with, he absolutely slays. His social game is god tier and has EVERYONE feeling safe. He is a strong narrator, gains control, isn't afraid to make bold moves, and just plays full on, all the time. The only reason he is here is just the SLIGHT edge in control and character the other two had. But my god, do not take this the wrong way. Parker played phenomenal, was a massive force, and proved why hes the best of the best, no question.*
