Writing before TC3
Lennie, Lennie. In many ways, the first few rounds of this game have orbited around you. So, straight away I sent messages out to everyone with a cheeky Peralta gif and asking people to describe their Survivor in three adjectives. Paul was the only one to ignore the request (thus beginning my suspicion of him as a sneaky git) but Lennie was the one who had a go at me behind my back about it. Fortunately, people weren't having that, and his whisper campaign died. It's not forgotten, though.
Anyway, part of why I did the three adjectives thing was to establish myself as an open, decent, honorable player to whom loyalty and keeping your word was important. It got me to right away winnow out who I wanted to work with and who I didn't. The other first impression metric I used was by engaging people on their chosen character/avatar. I'm a bit of an elder Millenial, so when I saw Lennie Briscoe it spoke to me. Unlike Ace and Paul, who seemed to have no real familiarity with their 90s and 00s icons (respectively), Lennie readily talked to me about the Law and Order series as though he'd been there. Eventually, he actually claimed Gen X, though I have reason to be skeptical now.
Anyway, I quickly fell into a loose affiliation with Lennie and Scruff McGruff, all as apparent children of the 80s who valued honor and decency in our play. We called ourselves the Good Old Boys, or GOB. We were well on our way to making this a more formal alliance when I started getting whiffs of Lennie talking shit about my initial messages, and began to suspect that he was still shopping around for opportunities.
Cutting off here because the vote results were posted and I've spent the last 2.5 hours connecting with new tribemates. Back when things settle.
