The Snake Scale

almost 8 years

This moment is unprecedented in Survivor Lobby history. It has now fallen to me to create the very first snake scale this lobby has seen. It's based on five categories of players, each described in detail, and the higher a number a category has, the more snakey the people included in it are. I'll give out one example for each category, but please feel free to comment in this thread to find out where I think you belong.

Category 1: The New Player

This type of player doesn't talk a lot. They're new, inexperienced, and have been in the lobby usually for less than a month. You can usually recognise them by their utter inability to perform well in challenges, the lack of words you receive from them, and the fact that they believe all alliances are equivalent to signed contracts. They don't really comprehend why backstabbing happens, and blindly believe they're exempt from it.

Example: copperstar82, Bob01, Chanman123, PyreTheGod

Category 2: The Non-Snake

One of the rarest type of players you can find, the Non-Snake is a dying breed. This type of player has been around for at least two months and has a mostly accurate perception and idea of how a usual game goes like. They're commonly found out through the fact that they never betray allies they make, and while being suspicious sometimes, their idealism sometimes may prevent them from acting upon that - though it must be said that this usually evens out due to their popularity in the community. Additionally, this type of player refuses F2's when they have one already.

Example: nattless, Lelmoo, Zeezo, TennisBallBFDI2, eatemuptigs, Jellofish, Nooby, SirPerior, freshman, colours, SirAmelio, krista, arianna

Category 3: The Floater

An increasingly common type of player. Easily recognisable through the fact that they ally everybody Day 1 and sometimes possess more than 2 F2 deals, while still expecting to win a game and not be called a snake. They sometimes accurately perceive what really happens during the course of a game and other times blindly believe themselves to be in control when they're really just following an established majority. Some people belonging to this category are prone to making game-changing errors which sometimes involve snaking, though some will use their under the radar status to further themselves and their strategy. Furthermore, these players will usually get far ahead in a game, but not entirely due to their own volition.

Example: coolkidrox123, alexroberts, bryce1997, ImDory, Firestone, N1ed, Otherscott, hotjacket, FireDragonPrince, cjn104, Ginga, Jabzz, Nicol, Zero, Dariukas47, Dyl, ponds, rs1993

Category 4: The Control Freak

Vaguely delimited from Category 3 and Category 5, the Control Freak is usually characterised by having more than 2 F2's in every game they play (but usually a number higher than that), just like the Floater, but maintains a core difference in that they try to use the number of allies - sometimes 16 if it's a 16 player game, 18 if it's an 18 player game, etc. - they make to control a game. Another key trait is that this category is on average targeted more throughout a game than the Floater, due to the slightly higher strategic quality they display. This is the farthest category a human with an active heart can get to.

Example: Picante, LineLiar, HighSpace, karthikbk, Sports123492, powerofdeath, UltraAug, ryman, Cody, xSoniaNeverMindx, matt, cinnanie, JacobV, PotatoPlayer

Category 5: The HardCarry

The most snakey type of player one can be. People belonging to this category usually have lost their heart at some point during their life. They're a form of the Control Freak on steroids - there are games where they can F2 half of the game, thus usually trying to "play both sides" and engulf everybody in a game in lies to the point where you're beginning to question your own existence. At their most effective output, the HardCarry can sweep games while destroying their reputation in the community due to the amount of lies they've said and the amount of F2's they've made. Be wary of this category.

Example: HardCarry, Voice, Moomo, Goldd96

You're clearly salty about my comment, darling. Why does what I wrote, which wasn't even my opinion on the matter in the first place, mean so much to you?

As for me being rude to everyone and causing unnecessary drama - that's strictly your opinion, and it might even also be the opinion of the person who you try to emulate on a daily basis. Who knows..........

girl i havent played a game with u since like 1932 and last time i checked i was never a snake to u... please name one time lol would love to see! :))


"I'll break down what I think Cammy is hinting at"

Why are you asking me to name one time that you were a snake to me when I never called you a snake to begin with? unless you're talking about the fact that we're using the term for each category and that the majority of the people listed have been called snakes.

You might still be a pre-teen or whatever, but surely you should know how to read.

Cammy says

i agree with cjn about broadening this up a bit. i think you need to make a circlejerk snake and add quite a few people from the non-snake and floater snake there


I'll break down what I *think* Cammy is hinting at to make things easier for JohnBatman's little heart.

Step 1: Remove most of, if not all, the 'Morning' players from both of the categories mentioned.
Step 2: Remove Arianna & Krista from their category.
Step 3: Add all of the removed players to a new category titled The Circlejerk Snake.

You're welcome. ♡

addendum 2 this (varieties of snakeage)

pythons: the ones who manipulate and guilt trip you into doing what they want, like how pythons squeeze u to death

anacondas: the real big daddies who are so huge they control the whole game and eat u alive one by one

king cobras: the ones who flare up and start drama (posting whispers, calling people out etc) in order to distract from their own snakehood

water moccasins: the ones who come out of nowhere to snake u and disappear without facing any consequences

rattlesnakes: the ones who are new to snaking, can manage to snake one or two people but give themselves away early on (bc of the rattle get it)

copperheads: same as the rattlesnakes-- not the best at snaking and only rly get a couple ppl-- but they don't get caught

corn snakes: look just like copperheads and get accused of snaking, but really didn't snake anyone unless it was an accident

JohnBatman says

I'm a "morning" player too so that would be a bit ironic. :p


I said most of them, and it would be outrageous of you to place yourself in anything that isn't Category 4-5.


I'm definitely Category 2.......................

Voice says

also a suggestion when you rerank the scale - can you name the categories after real snakes/snake-like creatures i.e. - category 1 - worm, category 10 - anaconda, etc


LOL

That's actually an amazing idea.
