So this is my first time playing, but I'm not planning on telling anyone that. I don't want to be treated differently, and I don't think I have anything to gain by saying that I'm a newbie.

Hi there! Did you do anything pre-game to prepare yourself to play Survivor for the first time?

FHAP(Fox Has a Podcast) That's right, it's time for your very first personally handcrafted questionnaire from yours truly! We here on FHAP pick only the most quality questions that are specific to you, [insert player name here] and nobody else! We're looking for all the hot goss and sweet deets you're willing to dish out. Since it's been a couple of hours since the game has started, now seems like the perfect time to ask you our burning questions!
1) By now you've hopefully had a chance to meet with and talk to most if not all of your tribemates. Who stands out among the rest? Is there somebody who makes you laugh the most? Are you feeling strategic bonds forming? Is there anyone you must drop in the nearest firepit?
2) Have you gotten a chance to check out what the game has to offer so far in terms of twists and mechanics and setup? How are you feeling about what you've seen? Got any suspicions of what could be in store for you?
3) If you had to describe your gameplay style as a weather phenomenon or natural disaster, which would you be and why?
4) Everyone comes into a game with different skills or hopes and goals. What are some of yours? What are you looking to achieve? What skills are you bringing to the table?
5) Why did you pick the animal you did? Are you hoping to channel anything from them? What other animal(or spectator) choices do you really enjoy?
Well that's all the time we have for our interview today. See you again at a later date when we ask the hard-hitting questions you expect from FHAP.

Hi there! Did you do anything pre-game to prepare yourself to play Survivor for the first time? Well, I've seen basically all of the show, and I spectated Barely Survivor. I also read all the beginner stuff. |

~Fox out!0: Yes, huge Rush fan here. RIP Neil.
1: I'm gonna assess my tribemates in a post after this!
2: I read all the threads. Rat and I talked about this a little and they suggested that there could be a lot of swaps, which would make sense. Other than that I'm not sure, just that it won't have as much crazy stuff as the last game.
3: A sneaker wave at the beach, you don't notice it's a problem until it's too late.
4: Realistically, I don't think I'll win my first game, but I'll be happy if I make the Jury and be disappointed if I go out pre-merge. I think I can be good at being open with my feelings, and I don't think I'll suck at challenges, but no guarantees.
5: Sloth is 100% my sin of choice, so it's a perfect fit for me. Plus, it has a cool etymology: slow + -th, the same nominalizing suffix as in growth, length, etc. For other animal picks, I like Flapjack Octopus, Genet, Capybara, and Axolotl. It occurs to me that there are no reptiles in this whole game, how did that happen?!

My Tribe
Bunny: Bunny's cool and is the person I like talking to the most. We seem like kindred spirits, we like the same animals and the same video games. I'd like to work with them.
Genet: The only person I haven't heard from yet. Bad start for them, but maybe they can turn it around when they get here.
Grizzly Bear: Their first post was basically "I'm new and don't know what I'm doing, I can haz alliance plz?" I feel for my fellow newbie, but I'm not gonna stick my neck out to protect them from the figurative wolves.
Hedgehog: Only one PM because I logged off around the time they logged on, but seems fairly promising.
Lion: We've talked a fair bit, but it's all been roleplaying around him being tossed into my tree and me making him king of Slothia. Seems friendly and playful, and wouldn't mind working with, but not my number one.
Mongoose: I have more PMs with them than anyone else, but it's really stop-start stuff because they don't leave a hook. Just meh feelings from me, I remember my convos with Bunny, Lion, and Rat much better than my convo with Mongoose even though I've talked with them less.
Rat: The first person to talk game mechanics with me. We bonded over being animals with negative connotations, and they seem cool enough.
If I can get Rat, Lion, and Bunny together, we can all make it to the next stage alive.

A good question that I can't answer because I've lost my brain at the moment, I'll try to answer it later

Top 3 favorite players, in no particular order: Stephen Fishbach, Cirie Fields, and Tyson Apostol. As a bonus, my least favorite player I've seen: Rodney Lavoie Jr., from Worlds Apart. There are certainly people who have done much worse things than him, in game and out, but I feel an immense loathing for him unlike what I feel for almost anyone ever. There were a lot of unlikeables in that season, but Rodney takes the cake for me.

If we went to tribal right now, greater than 90% chance that Grizzly goes. I get nothing but one-liners from him and it sounds like it's the same for everyone else.
I feel like there are three tiers to this tribe: grizzly at the bottom, Genet/Bunny/Rat/Lion well liked, and Mongoose better than grizzly but kind of meh. I think that I'm in the good group, but I'm not positive. Gotta step up the quality of my PMs
