Pre-Game Questions

[Kat]

Welcome Sarah! Glad to have you back for another season of Rise & Fall! Please answer these questions when you have the chance

1. Do you have a strategy coming into the game? If so, what it is?

2. Since this is an All-Star game, do you know anyone coming into it? What is your relationship like with each of those people? Friends? Rivals? Also, if you do know anyone, do you plan on working with them at all?

3. Is there anyone that you don't think really deserves to be here? Why or why not?

4. What is something that you would like to correct since the last time you've played? Are you worried that your reputation from your previous season could hurt you coming into this?

5. Do you have what it takes to win this game?

6. Any final comments before the game begins?

Good luck!

1. Do you have a strategy coming into the game? If so, what it is?
my (probably misguided) hope is that for ONCE pregame rumours won't follow me into this game. back when I played non-stop every AS game was just a shitstorm of everyone targeting the "twisted pregame" but here I'm close with very few people and there are plenty I've never met or only met briefly, so in a way it's a clean slate. I've already heard whispers of people spreading rhetoric about how chris and I are inseperable which is boring and old because it happens every time we're in a game together but I'll deal with it somehow. 

my strategy is to just be myself and hope my winning personality carries me the distance??? that's a valid strategy right??

2. Since this is an All-Star game, do you know anyone coming into it? What is your relationship like with each of those people? Friends? Rivals? Also, if you do know anyone, do you plan on working with them at all?
ok let's see.
- I know Becky pretty well, we have a lot of the same friends and have played each other's series and have a BUILDING STREAK on snapchat (38 days and counting!!!!). we don't talk one on one that much but I'd say we are definitely friends. however, we are totally incompatible in games for whatever reason so I would say (and I think he'd agree) that we probably won't work together, at least not long term. last time we were together in an AS game I tried to make it work between us and he SHANKED me so Hmm.
- Cody <333333333333333333333333333 the purest soul. one of the best and most loyal allies I've ever had. I will never turn my back on him. I need to repay him.
- Corey and I don't really have a relationship but I like kind of know him. he hated me for no reason in TSG and we made up during Twisted when he played but we haven't had like proper conversations or anything.
- David and I know each other from our season I guess? and then we played Crucible together but our relationship there was even worse than our relationship in RnF13 so there's not much going on there. 
- Erika is weird. I can't tell if she hates me or not. she's played my series twice and we like talk sometimes but I get this feeling that she doesn't like me. idk why.
- Howard and I... idk? I feel like we fundamentally don't get along for some reason? it's not like I dislike him but there's this tension there that I can't ignore.
- Jen is um... lol? I just really don't know. I think he hates me, but then sometimes he doesn't. it gives me whiplash.
- Jun is a legend. I didn't know it was who it was until Chris told me the other day but we were bffs in a game like a year ago and I loved him so much!!!! we have great chemistry. I'm really excited to play with him again.
- Kelsey is a curious case because I have great chemistry with her too but I think she might secretly dislike me and be plotting against me? also she's a really cutthroat player and I know can't trust her anyway. but I really enjoy talking to her. we were close allies in crucible and then he tried to stab me in the back but failed because of the legend known as Loveita. 
- I love Natalie!!! an angel. truly. I will def be working with her if possible.
- I didn't miss Porsche-bot. sorry. and she must know we aren't gonna be best buddies in this game, but she's trying anyway, and I guess I kinda appreciate that.
- I probably don't have to talk about Zach. duh.

anyway those are all the people I know?? I've talked to Michael a bit and he's a lot but like I can handle a lot. he really does seem like a typical aussie bloke!! and I can deal w/ that!! I also tried to build a relationship with Shelli by basically worshipping at SI Shawna's altar but I don't think she liked it that much. who. knows.

I don't have any rivals here. what a shame Kalia dropped.

3. Is there anyone that you don't think really deserves to be here? Why or why not?
I honestly don't know. I haven't been a good viewer so I can't say I know who did what. I trust your casting choices <3 

4. What is something that you would like to correct since the last time you've played? Are you worried that your reputation from your previous season could hurt you coming into this?
I flopped in my season. losing an FTC or whatever you call a BB finale is embarrassing so I kinda hope that people think I'm not much of a threat because porsche slayed me so hard. I don't know what I want to correct this time. making smarter choices and staying calm wouldn't hurt I guess.

5. Do you have what it takes to win this game?
normally I would say YES!!!! but the reality of the situation is that now that I've had to do the adult thing and get a Real Job, my timezone is even more of an obstacle than it was before. it's really difficult for me to be consistently present during peak talk times for the game and by the time I'm actually home and fully free people are asleep. I'm gonna do my best but I think my relative lack of social presence is going to hurt me at least a bit. I've already asked Jun to carry me so let's hope she doesn't flop on that =)


6. Any final comments before the game begins?
thank you for having me again!!!! <333

You didn't really flop I think it was one of the strongest F2s in RNF
