I mean depends on what you mean by social game. Eagle definitely wins the "most effort put into posts trying to convince me of things" award, but if you were to ask me to list off things I know about the players after flipping through my PMs a bit, I'd have the least to say about Eagle. I also don't feel particularly good about how Eagle handled me whatsoever, though I'm also the one they talked about how much they hated trying to "walk on eggshells" with people, which just rubs me the wrong way, I guess since while I probably failed in some cases, I very much tried to just be me with people. Also Kes and Cat are just, kind of really chill and easy to hang with, though I get that isn't everyone's experience with them, also I feel Kes and Cat definitely had an influence on each other that will come out in questions/speeches.
Also do you mean threat to win the game or challenge threat?

Oh snap, I was expecting you to not like Eagle based on your last post. I'm not sure Eagle had the best social game but they certainly have tried the hardest with everyone as opposed to Kestrel who was content with just voting with allies. Be prepared (lol lion king) for all 4 of them to claim everything that ever happened in the game though. And for Cat to say, "I really did want to work with you," a ton. Nah, Eagle was straightforward and honest with me after everything that happened, with little to no bullshit and I can appreciate that. Eagle gets points for that to me.

Small fact that's somewhat related. I started my confessional off with be prepared, so that was a fun callback!

Ok I misread your intentions then. Seemed like you were calling Eagle a goat to Capy/Cat which at the time, super surprised me. However, based on my brief time back in the game (lol), I lost some respect for Eagle as well. I find it a little laughable that he was "honest" because our conversations were usually about how I was too blunt and honest and that's bad form for a survivor game. They would warn me that I need to try and be more reserved and were only honest with me that last TC because they were immune.

Omg that would be the worst play Kestrel could have ever made this game but likely his only decision too soooo... at least there is that.
I expect Eagle vs Cat still.

I think the players in the game view Eagle much more as a threat than a goat even with what you said upon return, as such primary mode is to cut Eagle from their perspective. Also like I know the two of us are heavily leaning Cat, but I'm not sure how much everyone else is feeling. Also NGL, Eagle is boom or bust at FTC, Cat will have their work cut out for them, and I project Kes to have a better FTC than Cat or Capy.

Yeah when I returned, I called Kestrel as the winner but said that Cat has a solid shot. Despite that, Eagle/Capy couldn't vote their friends so whatever. It's just hard to validate voting for them with that in mind. I've said it before but Eagle is a good player imo, just terrible with jury management. Cat has to explain things properly and if his FTC is just "I wanted to work with everyone" then I could see him losing my vote.
Or crap... is it her? Getting my pronouns mixed up sorry.
Kestrel is so freaking boring though and I have a hard time validating voting for him when I got nothing from him all game. So many messages and I couldn't tell you anything about them and definitely never talked strategy with them which is mind boggling.

I just realized I could think of a worse pairing lol.
If Kestrel pits Cat vs Capy, I can't think of a worse decision then that. I don't expect it to happen but if Kestrel does do it then omg haha

Cat is she/her, Kes is no preference given.

Hey I'm still following, just not posting much; bad health news regarding a pet. I'm probably voting Cat if she manages to make it to the end, but otherwise it's pretty much a tossup. Speeches will be important to me to help me decide.

Strange choice. Why would you take the player that has the most similar game to your own?
I assume it's to try and kill Eagle, with Capy being better in general at challenges than Cat, and eagle still had those "big player" vibes.

I assume it's to try and kill Eagle, with Capy being better in general at challenges than Cat, and eagle still had those "big player" vibes. It's almost 100% trying to kill Eagle. Putting Cat in firemaking is just...killing Cat really. I think Kestrel has faith in their FTC and at least from a cursory glance of who talked to who, Cat and Capy would seem like they would split votes, even though it seems anyone who would vote for Capy, would just vote for Cat instead. Like the people who Kes was close with outside of the alliance are also very different from who Cat was close to outside of the alliance I'd say. Also if Capy wins firemaking that's also just...another feather in their Cap I'd say, especially since I was...overly skeptical of them pulling off the Eagle elimination themself, and I'd be pleasantly surprised to see them prove me wrong. Honestly if Eagle is out it makes me feel strangely...better about everything, cause well, then I was ostensible the right elimination when I went given my plea was basically "but I can kill Eagle".
