## Profile

**1. Name: Amber Age: Gender: Female Location: Ontario Canada Time Zone: EST I'm working full time most of the day. But actually my contract is just about to run out, so I might actually be fine until I find some more work I'm generally online evenings and nights. But I'm on here and there throughout the day too :) Occupation: Summer Camp Counsellor, Daycare, Babysitting**

**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 this one?** I'm playing in Hugsorg and Plantvivor currently. Hopefully I do well.

Other than those two I've played in Unreal, where I got 16th out of 20. I've played in John's Survivor Org, where I got 20th out of 24. And I've played in Lockevivor where I got 6th out of 18.
Small plug for Unreal, that server is the best org I've ever seen (besides this one, but I'm not going to plug this one because you're all in it already ). Please apply to Unreal

**3. Give us your most unpopular Survivor opinion:**
Ozzy is a challenge away from Winning Season 13 (Cook Islands). If he can claim he won every single challenge at the merge, that is such a strong storyline and argument that can easily swing a final vote to his side. Winning all but one he can't say he won everything, so the storyline is weaker and that's what made him lose. Ozzy is also a challenge away from Winning Season 23 (South Pacific). If he wins that last immunity challenge, the jury being members of his tribe will gain him votes. His story arc, and all the hard work on redemption island give him votes. It's a really honorable game being able to play purely with challenges and redemption. After each player is voted out, they come to Ozzy pissed off at everyone else for betraying them. Ozzy feeds them a good meal, then takes them out honorable fashion in the duel. So my unpopular opinion here is that Ozzy is two challenges away from being a two time survivor winner.

Also Baylor is my favourite player, but that's not an unpopular opinion

**4. What is your coolest party trick? Any unusual talents?** I can do low level card tricks, and low level slight of hand. It's impressive enough for children, and on a good day it's cool for adults and older kids. But I'm an absolute wizard at parties when we get a few drinks in.

The best one I've ever done, was I took a spare deck of cards, took out the Jack of hearts and placed it inside a picture frame at my friends house at the start of the party. Now no one really noticed it, because no one was looking for it.

I pull a basic card force using the full deck. To get him to choose the Jack of Hearts.

I palm the card. and then slip it into my pocket. And then show him that the card is gone from the deck

I then do some wizard moves and whatnot to make it seem cool, then point to the other room and say that the card has teleported over there.

I'm careful to make sure that they enter the room, and that I'm visible at all time for them to make sure that it all looks really good. And they're like "WOAH! How'd you teleport the card into the picture frame.

**5. What is your favorite “Time Travel” piece of media?**
The TV show Lost is my favourite TV show of all time. It's about a group of people who have crash landed onto a mysterious island. Google describes it as: "The survivors of a plane crash find themselves stranded on a mysterious island. They are forced to work together for their survival when they realise that they are not alone on the island." It's really well made. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it. If you've heard of it and haven't watched it, even tho the ending sucks it's still worth watching. There are some patches of not great episodes, especially around Season 3 but it's worth it to push through. Time travel gets mixed in eventually, and even tho it gets kindof weird the show is still amazing. Please watch, you'd like it. A good time travel (kindof) movie is "Frequency" "A son stumbles upon a radio that helps him communicate with his dead father. He tries his best to save his father's life without realising that his actions will alter the course of history." Basically the son (all grown up) can talk to his dad in the past. By telling his dad to do certain things it changes what happens in the present. So he does a few things to try to save his mom, and save his father (cause he dies in a fire as a firefighter). It's a nice movie. I enjoyed it. Worth a watch. But not really like super duper time travel so I have it as an after thought

**6. Pretend its the 60’s. There isn’t any internet! How do you keep busy?** I'm actually a really big fan of Board Games. Catan is my favourite. I'm pretty good at it too and I find winning enjoyable. I like strategy games, some luck is fine but I appreciate the focus on outthinking to get your wins (some people say Catan is mostly luck and they'd be wrong). Playing with my friends, the social aspect is really big for me too. I love just talking to people. Seeing how they're doing and what's going on in their life.

So without internet. I'd play board games, and talk to friends.

**7. In 1969 which musical artist would you be listening to? Elvis The Rolling Stones Tina Turner**This is going to disappoint some of you guys, but I'm really not super into music. I listen to some songs when I'm doing school work or something. But I'm not really the music type. I don't really know any of these artists, they're kindof before my time as well.

**8. If you were asked to give a presentation on something random that you are an expert in, what would you talk about?** Something random I'm an expert in, is I'm actually really good at Connect4, and I think there is more strategy then people realize in that game. I think there is a good length presentation about connect4 that I can give. And that's a pretty random topic lol.

Something else that's fairly random that I can give a presentation about is. In grade 10 I created for an english project a documentary about Rock Paper Scissors. Strangely there are strategies for that game too if you want to increase your changes above 50%. You can look at the percentage of each throw being used (which actually makes rock the ideal choice). And some other human tendencies. Like males throwing Rock very often on the first throw. People switching in a cycle after losing with a certain throw. Or sticking with the same object after winning. Then of course we have the Gambit Strategy. The eliminationists (not throwing one of the three choices, holding it back to play it very rarely, or not at all). People that preplan and randomly generate their moves to avoid human tendencies (only at competitive level). You've got Hand reading, and trying to see what your opponent is playing and then playing the counter at the last second.

**9. Of the three tenets of Survivor, which one do you think you’re the best at: Outwitting, Outplaying, or Outlasting?** I'm good at overplaying and getting voted out lol.

No but seriously I'm pretty good at Outwit I guess? I think I'm fairly competent socially, and strategically I'm fine as well. I think something I want to make sure I do this season is to be able to slow myself down. To think more, and think throw all my actions carefully, and lists pros, cons, and everything I can think of. I think if I slow myself down I'll have a strong strategic game. Paired with a good social game (always always depending on the cast), I think that makes Outwit my best Tenet.

**10. How is that going to help you win Survivor: Luna ?** I think the ability to connect with others is always the most important thing in survivor. Survivor is ultimately a Social game, and if you can't make friends and allies. You will lose. Being able to have options on who to work with, and a strong social game. Coupled with the strategy to know how to play around my resources. That will give me a strong toolset that I can utilize in order to progress myself in the game.
