361. Cornelius (PrivateI) - Names Are Hard


Image
"I am weak in challenges, and my communication is spotty at best."


Sometimes, a player survives much longer in a game than they seem to have any right do survive, and this is unfortunately a very good example of why it's best that such things simply not happen. Cornelius was barely playing this game at all from the moment it started. He was targeted quite a few times for basically being inactive by players in the minority who thought he should be an easy boot, but it never seemed to stick. I truthfully cannot tell you what Cornelius was doing in this game, what he thought he was moving towards, or how he planned to get to the end and win, because his confessional contains pretty much no information about that beyond the first tribe. He seems to have just voted for whoever he was told to vote for until finally, no one wanted to use him as a goat anymore and he just kinda stopped being a thing.

I think I was also cheering for him when I was paying attention.

Seeing as HTTP rejected my alliance offer. (That just happened to be the first post I found of mine, whether that's true or not idk. Spectator problems)

360. Gus (D3f3nd3r) - Greece


Image

"And I missed merge. Crap."

Gus seems to have been a particularly average player. He definitely wasn't the worst player on his tribe, but he definitely wasn't the best, either. After the swap, he found himself on a 2-2 tribe along with Xander from his own tribe, and Jamie and Stiles from Zante. When Simis was sent to vote in the TC, that made the vote 3-2 which put Gus and Xander in an effectively impossible position. And Gus was voted off.

Claire then forfeited the RI duel and Gus thought he was going to be back in the game, until Redemption Island turned out to extend one TC
past
the merge. Then Monika was booted and defeated Gus in perhaps
the most important challenge in MS history.
Poor Gus. :(

As it turned out, the challenge was some sort of ball-related posting challenge that seemed similar to a challenge that D3f3nder aced in League of Legends. Points for irony, I suppose!

Also, I loved Cornelius. My impression was that he was hoping to create an endgame with Doge and Star. I hadn't wanted to argue against him at my own boot, though it was probably my only realistic chance of staying. (I was probably gone anyway.) As a character, though, I had hoped for better things for him than for him to get ditched at the bottom of the majority alliance. =/

My favorite thing about Gus was his inability to sense irony. I wrote a paragraph complaining to him passive-aggressively about one-line messages and how I wished people would be more talkative than that, and he sent back a one-liner agreeing with me. He was kind of like talking to a wall.

Not really. I didn't lose because I screwed up the execution, I lost because I figured that three hours was going to be enough for a relatively difficult endurance challenge. I hit the three hours that I wanted but it wasn't enough.
Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).

I might have done this first:

359. Justine (Malakittens) - Greece


Image

"Alliances? What's an alliance?"


I was apparently Justine's closest ally, along with Stiles! I couldn't really tell during the game though, I apparently talked to her the most and was one of the few people hearing from her on a regular basis. Justine was very busy during this game and I respect that, but she was practically nonexistent as a player.

Going first probably didn't help!

I don't think there was really any larger timeframe that I had during the time we were given, so if you were able to go, say, five hours I probably would have just conceded.

Just wondering, does anyone know what the longest endurance time was before KC? I'm worried that I may have ruined endurance challenges for everyone.
Never be sorry for your little time.

It's not when you get there, it's always the climb.

This is why endurance challenges that are effectively "who has the most time" are bad design. The reason the balls challenge in League was so good was that it was really hard to go much more than an hour, so it came down to crisp execution starting at a certain timestamp.

Or if you're me, you decide to try to use the early part of the challenge to optimize, and fuck up by a second :(
