so a disclaimer on how I interpret and view favorability before I begin. It exclusively relates to how much I like an individual and want to work with them in the game. Other players opinions of a player do not impact these rankings directly. I essentially view it as who Lucifer likes in a vaccuum basically. That's the simple idea behind it. I'm also not ranking people if they're not on my current tribe.
ROUND OF 18 - BAU
1. Grouch Cop
This shouldn't be surprising if you've listened to any of my voice confessionals. We've been solid since Day 1. Grouch messages me a lot every day and it's always very quality messages. Our conversations are basically always enjoyable. There's a high level of trust there right now too- I tell them a lot about the game state and they also share a lot of info with me. They're part of my long term plans for this tribe and I can't see a scenario right now where I'd ever want to vote them out while on this tribe.
2. Scruff McGruff
As I talked about in the other thread, I'm in a four player alliance right now with Scruff/Jake/Grouch. Grouch beats them out because of familiarity and better trust, but Scruff is still up there. We've had nice lengthy PMs back and forth and talked a fair amount so I've enjoyed that. They're also very upfront with strategy and I honestly haven't minded that at all.
3. Jake Peralta
The last player from our four person alliance. I like Jake but the messages haven't been as lengthy as they have been with the other two. I've also struggled to get a good read on Jake personally, his personality makes it a little hard to figure him out for me. We also just haven't talked much game and that gives me slight pause. That's not to say I dislike Jake or anything though, I'm just explaining why he's lower than the other two. He's very fun to talk to and a cool person.
4. Nick Wilde
I'm kind of loving Nick right now. He's enjoyable to talk to and he's been pretty open about game talk. He wasn't shy about giving me reads on his old tribemates early on and that really meant a lot to me. In fact, that may be the biggest reason why he's ahead of Pikachu on my list. Like when I asked Pikachu about reads he just gave a generic 'I like everyone on my tribe' response that came off as superficial and dodgy. Whereas Nick had depth and was a bit negative of Penelope which honestly made me trust him more. Nick might move up if he continues to be cool.
5. Detective Pikachu
Nick's honestly made me feel a lot better about Pikachu. Pika's been a little hard to read and came off as slightly like a gamebot to me, but hearing that he likes me a lot from Nick has helped ease some of those trust concerns I had. I've also enjoyed the non-game side of our messages. The messages are a solid length and he's someone I've enjoyed talking to so far. I also feel like we've exchanged a fair amount of messages which is cool.
6. Rust Cohle
I've appreciated how fast Rust has responded and our conversations have been OK. The messages are on the shorter side, but it's still good enough to keep our conversation going. My biggest issue here is that I feel like our chat has been very fluffy, we have talked a ton of meaningful game yet at all. And he's not doing bad at messaging, I've enjoyed others messages a little more.
7. Penelope Garcia
My biggest complaint with Penelope is how infrequent her messages have come in. They've been few and far between and it makes it really hard to get a good chat going when that's the case. Her messages themselves are fine, I just feel like I've heard very little from her overall.
8. Quentin Lance
I've heard he's making improvements from some people, but I still haven't seen them. It's been over 24 hours since I last heard from him and the last message I got contained six words. It's been a massive struggle to communicate with him. I may very well end up working with Quentin, but make no mistake- it is out of necessity, not favorability.
