## Pikachu's Revenge Player Profile

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

This is my first ORG season! So bare with me a little bit as I learn the ropes! But I have watched strategy type shows since I was a kid. I’m also guessing I am one of the oldest to be on this season considering I’m older than all of the hosts but Myka. But I’m very analytical, I don’t plan on letting emotions get to me since I am that way in real life. Just looking forward to the strategy and challenges!

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

I plan on going all in throughout this season. I will more than likely play slow to start to not put a target on my back and letting others put targets on their backs. I am very social in real life and get along with people easily, so as long as I can get into a majority my social bonds should carry me far.

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

Social bonds and challenge prowess. I’m usually very good at random games. My friends hate playing me in Mario Party type games because that’s usually what they can’t beat me at, so from the research I did by looking at past seasons I did not see something I would consider myself bad at. And I explained my social plan somewhat earlier, but I can’t say I’m going to make one plan and stick to it now. These games are all about adapting to your surroundings.

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

I am hoping I fit in if we have a bunch of high school and college aged “youngsters”. I’m also nervous for the bonds people may have from playing other orgs together, since this is a smaller community. Honestly my guess is that if I lose it’s because I was not able to keep the target off of my back. I do not think I will be one of the first to go. Guess we shall see!

## 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?**

Being named an all-star was an amazing feeling. I was a little nervous because I know I wasn't the easiest to work with my first season. I let me emotions get to me too much and that is just not who I am as a person. After my first season I had to do quite a bit of self evaluation on how I am perceived from the outside, so getting to play again in front of so many of the same people gives me motivation to change that perception from my first game

My motivation this season is similar to my first season. The main goal is to have fun, first and foremost. I have made some amazing friends through only two seasons of playing these ORGs, and I cannot wait to talk to even more people this season.

I think I was named an all star from purely being an absolute lunatic my first season. I know a lot of my actions the last season were very brash and random and I had an absolute blast and I think that was very known from my confs. I plan on once again being one of the most active confessional people. Work is getting hectic but this is my escape and I want the people spectating to have a show to watch.

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

Truth be told I am excited to play with Cream Cheese haha he runs his own org now and I do the power rankings for it. At this point he is like a little brother to me and I hope I get the chance to work with him. But this cast is absolutely amazing. I am not necessarily concerned or threatened by anyone. I have never and will never meta game so even if they have played in this server that does not matter to me.

**3.) If you win the season, how are you going to accomplish it?**

So this is my 3rd ORG now. Still a rookie to these things and I still have quite a bit to learn. But I want to play a transparent game, I know being UTR is often a big key to people winning but if I can be transparent while not having the spotlight on me that would be the goal. I don't want to go to FTC again and have to explain every move because I was too focused on keeping my self hidden.

and I hope that I can handle whatever twists and turns are hurled my way. I may be one of the only people who actually played the old twisted metal games and they were WILD to say the least.

**4.) If you don’t win the season, what would be the most likely reason?**

To go along with my answer from number 3. The transparent strategy also leads to being targeted. If I lose I just want to be voted out as a threat to win the game. That is all I can really ask for.

## Character Ranking

**Season Character Rankings -**

**S4: 3. Dan**

*Dan is here not because of his strategic game, because let's face it, his strategic game left A LOT to be desired. Begging to get idoled out, begging to get votes to go to a fire making challenge that could not help him, going to the end with the player who clearly would beat him, bad game reads all game, the list goes on and on. But the reason he makes the top 3 is all about his character. He said he wanted to make the game interesting for specs, and boy did he ever. The level of entertainment and complete and utter lunacy he brought to this season was unmatched. Love to love him or love to hate him, EVERYONE was paying attention and watching him. From his infuriatingly hypocritical and entitled anger, to his seemingly psychotic game decisions, Dan brought the very best of org survivor to the table. And hell, third place and a vote to win is not shabby at all for a first time player. I was thrilled to cast him, and he did not let me down.*

**S6: 4. Dan 2.0**

*Dan has maybe the most amazing season to season arc of anyone in our history, though Tim may want to battle for that title! He went from third place villain to fallen angel fan favorite hero, and all of it was deserved. Strategically, some of the old Dan still came out (begging to be voted out, having some occasionally hypocritical expectations of people that rubbed them a little wrong), but that does not overshadow the kind, amazing, lovable human being he is. He was well liked by the entire cast for good reason- he was just there for them. And its what we all fell in love with. And he damn near won the game too. Did he make a couple strategic mistakes? Yep, and thats why hes JUST outside the top three. Also, not for nothing, but does anyone else see the fact that he was not given fire here a fitting cap to his arc, after Season 4's fire storyline? Great game and great person, Dan! We love you.*
