Sally's Quick Thread

[Sally Schumann]

Hey there, guys! Congrats on outlasting us all and making it to the Finale. Because I am late with Questions, I will skip the statements part, beucase you are getting quite a lot of this from all the rest, and go directly to my Qs. xD The Qs will be for everyone if not mentioned otherwise.

1) First of all, this is always that's been in my mind about ORGs. What is your purpose when you sign-up for a game? What do you want to get out of it?

2) What is your view of a Winner? How does a winner look like in your eyes? What qualities should he have?

That's for now and real fast (to get something at least ) and I may some more later along with statements about you 3. Take your time and good luck. <3

Hey, Sally! Yeah, you’re like super late biatch. xD Just want to first and foremost say that I had a fun time playing this game with you. We met the very first round of this game and talked pretty much every day since the day the game started to the day you were voted out. You were one of my favorite people in this game and even if I don’t walk out of this game with the title of Sole Survivor, it’ll still be just as great to say that I came out with some friends, one being yourself. I’m not kissing ass! xP I’m just being completely honest. It really has been a pleasure, Sally. <3 One of the greatest people I have ever worked with in a game. Thank you for making this game enjoyable and extremely fun!

When I sign up for a game my main goal is obviously (A) win the darn thing but also (B) meet new people. There are so many people in the ORG world that I haven’t met or heard of, so to stumble across new people is always a fun thing. You either make enemies with them or make friends with them, and I think I made a handful of both in this game. What I want to get out of it is just the enjoyment of the game of Survivor, Big Brother, whatever game I’m playing as. A lot of the time it’s me being bored and wanting to do something when I’m not tied up with real life stuff, it’s a real good way to get away from all of that and just focus on something just for fun. I don’t take these games to the extent where they are super serious and my life depends on them, but I still do always try to devote as much time and energy to them as I can because that’s what a player should do!

My view of a winner is someone who played the game in every aspect. The qualities of a winner need to vary, the winner has to be someone who stayed active and showed the dedication to winning the entire game no matter what. A winner in my eyes is someone who outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted everyone else to get to this stage of the game. If you’re able to say that you did those things and you have the facts to back it up, then you deserve to win this entire thing. A winner is also someone who has a vulnerability and when they get knocked down, they get right back up and keep fighting to the finish line. You have to have perseverance and a lot of heart. I do think that although all of our methods in getting to the end were different, I did play the way a true Villain would. I knew this was a game and I played it as such. I fought hard, manipulated players, never stopped trying, and I did whatever I could to make it to where I am now. And in the last two rounds of this game I put my fate into my own hands and won my way here.

Thank you, Sally! If you have anything else to ask, just let me know!

1] I really enjoy the show obviously, and always wanted to play it. Jump in the TV ya know? It started out with Big Brother for me. I saw a game being advertised while browsing Jokers Updates and I was like no way - people do that? So I played it and eventually started to watch Survivor and got into that when I saw games being advertised. I do it purely for fun. I love competing and I enjoy meeting new people. I have met some really great friends out of these games. People I talk to on a day to day basis. We don't even have to talk about ORGs, it's just like a new friend only on the internet. It's also fun to test yourself on how well you can play and how far you can last in the game. It ain't the real thing, but it's a fun simulation.


2] This really depends on the game and how it's played. Obviously I think a winner needs to be someone who stood out. Under the Radar games are not my first choice - I like bold players who go all out to be a leader. Heroic games > Villain games. Playing with their heart and giving it their all in the competitions. I think they need to play considering how they send people out. They can't piss off too many people. It's an interesting aspect of Survivor. How do you make it to the end ruffling the least amount of feathers as possible, yet still play an impressive game in the eyes of the Jury? I think a winner should be someone who wants it and left their mark on the game. I think we have an interesting final three here. We have Parvati, the person who deceived others to get to the end. She was an aggressive player and you could see her leading a group into the merge that seemed hard to penetrate. We have Ashley, who played an under the radar game trying to be as loyal as possible. She wasn't as big a force, but it can be argued she has the cleanest hands. And we have myself, someone who has been a target since the first day, but managed to make it through 21 eliminations when my name probably came up every round it could of. I had control when it counted in this game. But what really matters is how the Jury sees a winner.



Thanks for your questions~!

Hey Sally and thank you

1) First of all, this is always that's been in my mind about ORGs. What is your purpose when you sign-up for a game? What do you want to get out of it?

Interesting question. I don't think anyone has ever asked me this before so thank you for being my first, ow. Anywho;

My main purpose is to have fun because after all these games were created since we can't be on the real show. So thank you to whoever started these. I like the challenge and the experience as a whole. Interacting with people from all walks of life and people you probably will never ever meet. I'm from Australia so it's cool to socialise with people from different countries. I've made some real good friends from ORGs that I know we will be friends forever even though our friendship is just online.

What do I want to get out of it? Well of course winning the game because it's a great accomplishment even tho there is no prize money, lol. But meeting new people and making friends is just as good.

2) What is your view of a Winner? How does a winner look like in your eyes? What qualities should he have?

HE?

A winner in my eyes is someone who has it all. That includes every aspect of the game but also appealing to the ones voting. What I mean by that is in the real survivor, Russell had every aspect. I believe he was social (in a game sense), strategic and competitive. However he did lack in appealing to the jurors. No one was gonna respect his game because he used and treated people poorly.

As it has been mentioned; we all had different games. I did play under the radar because I didn't have to be out in the open since Benry and Parvati constantly where. I had the right portions of every aspect and I think the way I played is more appealing on a personal level.

Thanks again and good luck with your decision.
