Yeah I have my head in the clouds too much (not to mention liking talking to people too much) to find idols when they are just hidden. I actually often leave games I was in still not understanding how idols were found because I'm that oblivious, and idk if I'm alone in that. So something that I think would be useful for new players or people like me would be some kind of document explaining where idols have been hidden in past games. If the only way to get better at idol hunting is truly experience, then at least making that experience accessible would go a long way.
But also I'm fine with saying that I prioritize my social relationships with people over potential idols because that's the part of the game I enjoy more, and if others make a different tradeoff, we both have to live with the consequences.
I also really liked the Tiger Idol dynamic in PD where our alliance worked together to get the idol. That played much more to my strengths as a player. There ended up being some problems with the Tiger Idol, but I'd like to see more hunts that encourage or require alliances work together. That creates lots of fun opportunities for in-game interpersonal drama too.

Yeah the part about it only working for one round wasn't the most successful imo and also the fact that we had to be online right at deadline for a couple rounds in a row because we could only claim it if our tribe lost, but the collaboration of planning what to guess together was a fun bonding experience and rewarded an alliance for being organized and trusting one another even if they weren't the majority. It reminded me of the feeling I got in The Genius in a way actually.-

have you considering donkey kongShowDo I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.
Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.
Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.-
