## Ocarina of Time Player Profile

**1.) What is the most important thing or things that people should know about you?**
I'll start with introducing myself, give myself a brief description. My name is Tim; I'm a 20 year old college student from New England, USA. I'm a Division 1 Swimmer for my university, currently studying to become a physical therapist, an Eagle Scout, a massive Survivor fan, and somebody who's fascinated with all aspects of self-improvement. Some "fun" facts about me are that I nearly lost my eye in the Peruvian jungle, and one of my friends almost accidentally murdered me when nervously gripping my carabiner while parasailing. Oops! I also have an identical twin brother!

**2.) Why should specs pick YOU in their draft?**
Question 2 \*(in context, question 2 would be question 3) certainly overlaps to answer this question, but I'll provide some more. I'm a very rational player, and I don't let my emotions affect my game. It's just a game, and I'm here to have fun. I was very impressed with my blindside, never angry. I can't comprehend players that are mean-spirited towards others, it doesn't sit right with me. Of course I can get annoyed with people, but if something happens.. I don't really care? There are so many things I can't control, why be angry about them? Also, I'm really going to try to utilize my confessional more. I didn't fully realize how much spectators benefit from it. I'm going to try and be a standout character. I call it "The Sweet and Sour Strategy". I'll be playing nice and sweet on the outside, gaining that as my perception. But playing dirty and sour on the inside; lying, cheating, and stealing these castaways every chance I get (in secret).

**3.) If you win this game, what would be the biggest reason why?**
WHEN I win the season\*\*\* Just kidding, if I win the season, one of the major reasons will be due to the fact that I'll be the person that cares more about the game than everybody else. For this reason, I'm gonna be working harder than everybody else. I'll be constantly talking to people, building bonds, solidifying friendships, making everybody my best friend. I'll be constantly thinking about strategy, running every single possible scenario in my head to make the best possible move. And for every single challenge I can grind, you know I'm gonna keep improving until time is up.

This is my second ORG, but I've fallen in love. I can't help but not care about the game. I love it too much. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to win.

**4.) If you don’t win this game, what would be the reason why?**
I lost my first ORG. I got 13th place, yikes! I was blindsided by two of my closest allies and the minority pair. And much like King Zora, I went home with an idol in my pocket. Yeah.... The reason I lost that ORG was because I was way too big of threat. I was the leader of my tribe, calling the shots, and was playing the "best" game. Nobody wanted to sit next to me in the end. But besides having too high of a threat level, I absolutely made some mistakes. I wasn't making deep connections with the minority pair (because I didn't see myself strategically working with them), and I wasn't reaffirming my allegiances to my allies. I wasn't talking to them as much as I should've. I have trouble finding topics to discuss with people sometimes... I need to have the confidence to talk to everyone, about anything, all the time. If I don't lower my exterior / perceptive threat level, and if I don't talk to people as much as I should, I will lose this game.

I also sometimes have trouble reading people, kinda like Andrea (my 2nd favorite player). I was not expecting my blindside at all. It's tough to discern player's intentions online, but I think I need to really analyze people's messages towards me, and honestly be a little more paranoid LOL.

## Pikachu's Revenge Player Profile

**1.) How do you plan to capitalize on your opportunity for redemption?**

I legitimately believe there was nothing I could've done to not get voted out of VideORG Games. So I don't have a simple answer on how to capitalize on my opportunity for redemption. But I think the best way to capitalize on these opportunities to play Survivor is to be adaptable. I think my general strategy works decently well in Survivor, but I think it's causing me to be taken out too early. I think I need to read the ~vibes~ of the game and change it based on the situation. I play very socially, and play a strategic game impressive enough for me to garner the win And so I'm always taken out before I can get to FTC. But I need to see the situation and change my game. I need to be a bit more perceptive of the game around me, and use that to my advantage.

**2.) How have you changed since the last time you played?**

I've gained WAY more experience! And I've finally broken my streak of going pre-merge I'm a new org player now babyyyyy!!! I've finally made it to the merge, and I've gotten some serious experience under my belt! I like to compare myself to a slide puzzle, where I get closer and closer to the final picture every time I play

**3.) Why should specs draft you? Why are you going to win this season?**

I definitely think I have a very large potential of going deep in this game. I’m active, decent enough at challenges, and socially strong enough to never be in any danger in the starting tribe. I’m strong in swaps too, I make bonds super quickly to the point where new allies will be protecting me. Caveat is that I gotta avoid the possibility of being swap screwed in this scenario But coming into the merge, I start with laying low and then ramping up my game more and more as the merge goes on. I’ve got a solid system, and sometimes you just need the right set of circumstances to pull of the win Less related to a game level, I feel like I’m a interesting character to watch! Regardless of what happens in this game, if you draft me, it’ll personally mean a lot to me and you’ll be drafting a great character and (I think) a great player!

**4.) If you lose, what will the reason why?**

First, this is a tricky position to be in as a player. Returning players are gonna have a target on their backs! Tribe swap is gonna be tricky for the returning players because we could be swap screwed, and we’ll probably be swap screwed regardless of how the numbers divide, because it’ll be a few returnees versus a ton of newcomers. Tribe swap will be difficult. But I think I can overcome the challenge I think I could possibly have trouble at mid merge once again, for being way too big of a threat. I have to stay sharp and be adaptable in order to change up my mistakes from the past and finally pull out a win that I’ve wanted so bad!

## Character Ranking

**Season Character Rankings:**

**S2: 12. Tim**

Our robbed pre-juror finally makes his appearance! And robbed he certainly was. I know we throw around the word robbed fairly lightly here, but he was robbed in every sense of the word. A strong contender going into swap, tatsu looked as his contender rankings and laughed in his face. Put in a literal no way out situation, Tim became an early casualty. I have no doubt in my mind that in a different swap, Tim could have gone far and potentially even won. But given he was an early boot, sadly, that didn’t come to fruition, and here he sits.

**S4: 4. Tim 2.0**
Our highest rated returning player, and last surviving returning player, slots in at number 4 here. I love Tim, and he is hero because pretty much everyone loves him. I would argue Tim by far had the best social game this season, and it showed. He was a massive target from day one, with people even going so far as to call him fake. But he was able to bounce back and time and time again avoid the guillotine despite never really having the agency to do anything he had hoped to do or make a move on. But where he fell flat was strategy. Again, he was on the outs nearly all game. And when he had the chance to guarantee himself final 3 (and probably the win) against Fire and Brock, he did not take it. And that decision, in my view, likely cost him the game. But Tim proved the big game I talked up of him in Season 2 was clearly the right call, as he will be one of the biggest memories of this season, and for all the right reasons.
Editors note- The facts of this final 3 opportunity are heavily disputed. Feel free to debate amongst yourselves.

**S3 All Players Rankings:** 33. Tim
The most robbed of all the pre-jurors, Tim, you had potential. Too bad tatsu didn't think so.
