Org tips + AMA + Gateway

over 7 years

As you all know, I play many many many Survivor games on fb and on skype. I've been in over 20 within a span of 4 months. Each game I learn something new about myself. Not in the chessy way...but in the gameplay way. In each game I took away something. Each scenario brought new insight to me.

I have decided to feed my ego and share with you tips! Every day I will post a tip.

ama part:

Ask about a certain aspect of an org. Or how to maybe translate your gameplay into an org.

Gateway:

I can be your gateway to orgs. Want to try survivor orgs? I'll provide. You want a fb one? I'll provide.

Want tips on how, once you join, you might flourish as a newb? ask away!

I will give scenarios from orgs i've been in. To highlight things too.

how do I win a challenge


hard work and dedication. Putting the time and effort into it. Find a walkthrough video that shows you ways to get really high scores. If its a puzzle, do it over and over and over again until you know it off by heart. If its creative google a tutorial or use stickfigures in a creative way.

tldr:

Hard-work and dedication.

questions: after playing a total of maye 75 orgs, have you ever won ANY?


*just over 20. No I have not. For although I played 20+, I played most of them at the same time. therefore with the same mindset. the games I got to the end of I lost for the same reason. Only now am I experianced enough to know how to fix it. Plus Dean robbed me of a win.

How do I not backstab people


You get others to backstab for you. You plant seeds into people. For example, I asked a player in an org "Who do you talk the least to" and when they didn't say the particular name I wanted them to offer up I said "These people don't really talk to me" its natural because it came with the conversation. And he was like "omg, that name you brought up, if didn't even realise they were in the game!"
This is an example from the first boot of a game. This way you don't backstab people too early.

Later in game its still the same thing. A noncholant comment of "Everyone seems to like bob". This could be enough to plant a seed into someone's mind. They'd then begin to wonder things like. Wait a sec. thats true! This person seems to have a lot of allies!? Then hopefully they spread the word themselves.

This example is a none org one. In a game I won, for my game, I had to vote/get Matt out. Matt was a player I cared for and I didn't want to backstab him. So instead I set the vote up in a way that my vote wasn't needed (by using my allies and throwing away my vote in a way that the numbers still got him out but i didnt have to be part of it!)



TL;DR:
How to not backstab:
Make other's backstab for you. And if you can't, make someone else take the blame for the vote or the betrayal.

*Tip 1*:

This is the main tip!!!

Never say your boot "Wasn't your fault" "If ____ didn't ____ I wouldn't've been voted out"

NO. You. Are. ALWAYS. at fault. ALWAYS.

Always look for a reason why you were the boot. Because there is always something that you did.

Learning to reflect upon your own game by yourself is the best thing you can learn.
I currently am in the jury of an org. In this org after I got out I complained about these two players who had snaked me. I blamed them for making a stupid move. for snaking me. I thought back afterwards and was able to pin point what I did wrong/ why these people voted me out:
Person 1: I told him too much. I was too straight foward. I told him "If you don't get ___ to flip I'll have to vote you because I don't want to afford a tie" This seems obvious to you and to me now. But after I got booted i was blind to it. I wasn't open to see my fault.
Person 2: I only talked strategy with him. He also confided in me that he felt like our closeness was only due to meta (out of game reasons).

What I learnt from this org:
1) Being honest isn't bad. But white lies are sometimes needed.
2) Learn your audience. Some people tend to shrink away from pure strategy talk. Those people would prefer non game conversations or they need it to truly feel close to you. While some could totally be different. There were signs of this guy shrinking away from strategy talk that I ignored and suffered from.

Why am I saying this in an org tips page? Because, if like me, you play many orgs, you'll want to get better in your next one. this tip is important to learning how to do better on your own.
