I don't know you well so I'm not sure if this opinion is going to be at all fair to you or accurate, but from our limited interactions with each other, I really do not like you as a person. I think that you're a coward who thinks that you're a lot cooler than you actually are. I find your presence in the Survivor Lobby extraneous; you don't play in games, you just show up when there's drama or when you're really not needed and it's really toxic and annoying to deal with because you're not a part of the lobby and you haven't made any indication that you want to be but you keep offering your two cents when it's really not needed. You only do this when you have friends to back you up as well so like that's why I think you're a coward.
I think that you can be unnecessarily mean to people. I don't really find you funny either, but that's subjective. I mean, this is all I have to go off on, but every time I've seen you around, it's really left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I really like you but I feel like you currently are going through so much sh*t that I can't possibly fathom or really understand your situation. I really wish I could help you, but I just - I don't know how because I haven't gone through that. Idk if you've ever heard the song How to Save a Life by The Fray but it's really how I feel about you.
I also know that in the past, you said that EM was really detrimental to you. I wish that you didn't put yourself out there so much because I'm really really worried that you're going to get yourself in trouble because there are people on the internet and especially on EM who are malevolent people and I feel like you're often vulnerable.
We never were that close, but I don't really have anything bad to say about our interactions together. It's always fun playing with you in games and you're a cheerful person who makes games better.
I really hope everything works out for you; you're a cool person :)
Saurabh, I don't know much about you really, so I can't really provide you with an accurate opinion. However, from our brief interactions with each other, I think you're a pretty cool guy. Thank you so much for hosting in the lobby and for keeping the lobby alive man, much appreciated :)
Dean, I think you already know most of what I'm about to say to you. You're a very conflicting individual because you often do things which don't reflect who you are as an individual.
You've adopted this image of arrogance and brashness which really doesn't fit you because I think we both agree that it's a fake arrogance. You often use humor and arrogance to hide your insecurities at times, but you balance it out by embracing your insecurities which is what makes you endearing and likable. I believe that you at times try too hard to be somebody who you think other people will like when people like you most when you're just yourself and not trying so hard. I also think that at times, you try to look for approval from other people; you're pretty sensitive about how other people see you. Finally, I wouldn't have known that you were autistic had you not told me.
You're a very caring person who cares deeply about your friends, family, and EM. You're a deeply moral and good person who I am glad to call my friend. You're quite enjoyable to talk to, either on call or through text. I wish that more people in the lobby gave you credit not only for your gameplay, but for your opinions. I often feel like your opinions are marginalized but I've found that through talking to you, you often come up with ideas or perspectives that I haven't seen before and you've also improved greatly in survivor, especially with your recent strong gameplay in ORGs.
I guess as a final side note, I'm worried that you're going to have your heart broken someday because I'm not sure if you would be able to recover LOL
I still can't believe you're 17 years old; I hope that I'm not offending you when I say that you do not seem like a 17 year old. You're still so naive about the world around you and so pure/uncorrupted and you're like a child still (in the nicest way possible).
I feel like however I've seen you slowly mature during your time here. When you first started out in the lobby, I honestly found you slightly annoying because you would always insist that you didn't make any mistakes in games but now you've really improved on that. I admire your willingness to better yourself; I know that you reread games that you're not even in to see how other people approach the game and I believe that that has definitely helped you improve. I think that you have a much better understanding of not only survivor, but also yourself.
However, I just feel like we'll always have some barrier because of our differences in maturity at the moment which is probably why I haven't been very responsive to you and why we're not like close friends or anything. As an aside, you also take it personally when people dislike you when really you shouldn't worry about it.
As a side note, if there's one thing that I wish you had more of, it would probably be self-confidence. I wish that you were able to see in yourself what everyone else in the lobby sees. This isn't a criticism or anything, it's just a comment; we all think you're amazing!
Finally, in the past few months, we've been growing apart and it's not like a reflection of my feelings towards you or anything; I think you're as amazing and as interesting of a person as when I first met you. I've been super out of rhythm over the past 2 months and I've just been pretty apathetic about not just my social life on EM, but also my social life irl. I've been having a problem with responding to messages not just to you or just people on EM, but actually also to my friends irl. I'm sure that when everything is back to sync, we'll go back to talking the way that we used to; I guess I wanted to apologize for seeming disinterested or aloof. It wasn't my intention and I promise, swear that that is not the case.
Nat!! I'm really glad you posted because I think in the past few months, you've had some uncertainties about the way I feel about you since we've been growing apart.
Still to this day, I think you're one of the most amazing people I've met. The value that I most appreciate with you is your ability to see the good in everyone. I'm often critical with people and you really act as an anchor because you're able to highlight the good in them instead. You're really good with people; I don't think anybody in this lobby is as universally loved as you and for good reason. You're so nice to everyone and you usually don't feel the need to say anything bad about other people. I really admire your ability to reach out to people in the lobby that other people shun and become real, genuine friends with them as was the case with VWXYZ. You're also incredibly levelheaded and you possess really sound judgment. As Scott once said to you, the best conversations with you are the ones where you show some negative emotion because it's like a reminder that you're still human, that you still have the capability to criticize people and to see bad in people.
However, I guess my main concern with you at times is that you don't always speak your mind. You speak your mind only when you feel like it's necessary, but I often feel like your opinion holds a lot of weight because you're so well-respected. If you speak out or say something bad about somebody, it's usually because they were being an a$$ and deserved it. Your aversion for conflict can be exasperating at times because of this, but at the same time, I don't know if it would be good for you to speak because I think one of the main reasons why everyone respects you so much is that you pick your battles. I wonder if your opinion would hold less weight if you spoke out more often, so I'm really not sure if this is even a fair criticism of you.
I really have nothing bad to say about you as much as you'd like me to. When I first met you, like probably many people, I thought that your niceness had to have some level of superficiality just because I didn't think one could be so sweet or so nice to everyone for such a long period of time. However, after we started talking, I realized that this couldn't be further from the truth and that you had a rare genuineness which is very difficult to find on this website.
I'm so glad that you took the time to message me because you're quite an interesting person to talk to. It was soso sweet of you to check up on me when I was sick and/or when I was upset (especially since we really didn't know each other at that time). I think you often underestimate yourself; you're a lot more capable in literally everything than you give yourself credit for. I don't really understand why you're still shy when talking to the bigger names in the lobby; you're clearly a sociable person who is good at meeting new people.
Finally, I think that there's at least a part of you which is pretty concerned about how everyone else perceives you; you get embarrassed really easily and most of your concerns often have to do with how you come off to others. I guess one concern I have with you is I wonder if I can hold your attention for long; I get the impression that some day, we're just going to stop talking (idk it's just a feeling).

yeah i dont like betraying people in this, it makes me feel bad :(
I wonder if your disdain for me will cause you to say things you don't actually believe. Posting so you can make a drag post and get lots of upvotes out of it.
I don't really have much to base my opinion on besides our limited interactions. We've always been pretty cordial and nice to each other but I think I'm speaking for both of us when I say that we don't know the other very well as people.
However, from our limited discussions with each other, I've grown to quite like you and respect you. You're honestly a really fuckking funny and cool guy and I think that that often overshadows the character trait which I value most in you which is levelheadedness. I've found that you usually provide a very rational and logical train of thought and when you do make serious comments, they are often very well thought-out; you have a good balance of knowing when to speak your mind and when not to. Overall, you're a very moral and good person.
I think honestly, that's one of the main reasons why you don't play survivor. I don't think you have it in you to backstab people viciously or to lie which is why you don't really try when you play. Wish you would though!!
Hey Line!! I think that you're really similar to me in a lot of ways since your gameplay really resembles what mine's looked like when I first started out in the lobby and you also possess many of the same personality weaknesses that I have.
You're a very passionate person who really believes in what he thinks but I think at times you can be a bit narrow-minded and dismissive of other people's opinions as being incorrect just because they don't share the same view as you. You're often hotheaded which causes you to lash out at people. You have bad taste in music (Demi Lovato really????) and at age 15, you're still pretty immature. I think you're pretty arrogant as well.
However, despite my criticism of you, I actually quite like you as a person. You're a good person and I have a lot of respect for you because you're not afraid to speak your opinion. I'm kind of sad that you've been playing less recently because you're a pretty solid player. You give off this vibe that you hate everyone but really you're quite pleasant to be around when you don't dislike them and very easy to talk to. Overall, great person who I'm happy to call my friend!!
You were probably my first true friend in the lobby; I have so much respect for you because I think you're the embodiment of what Survivor Lobby should be. You really welcomed me into this lobby and made me feel comfortable; you're the reason that I have Skype and you're the reason that I realized that you could actually form legitimate relationships on this website which I was skeptical of at first. I think that you have this same approach in games which is what makes you a great player.
That being said, I think we've really grown apart in the past year and I believe it started when I started becoming friends with jessy. I'd really like to start getting back in touch bc it was always fun talking to you. I'm glad to hear that you're making decisions in your life to make everything better.
My personal opinion is that you are pretty self-conscious about what other people think about you. I think that if people criticize you or don't like you, you're really hurt by it which was a problem that I had for a long time; my advice would be to really shut those people out because you're a really likable and amazing person. Finally, I think that you're a really clever and moral person but you are prone to making poor decisions from time to time.
