It will be mist. This was literally written by some clever hilarious genius on the board in my office today. 😭

It’s Friday!!

Helping me learn flags for Kovaze.com. 🤓

It was going to enroll like a reaping or whatever

Can I just talk about how difficult it is to go back to work after having a 4 day weekend? I’m so tired 😴

I still got it - doing my pyn has been fun so far but it's been a WHILE - taking a break but will be back if anyone adds to it

ADD YOURS! I'm having fun doing these https://kovaze.com/blog/76664

from me since I’m almost home for the day and will be kinda bored! (will finish all) And BONUS…since users with food-based names intrigue me so much on here (looking at you @shrimpfriedrice) I’ll give everyone I write about a new food-based avi name that fits you perfectly based on my thoughts 💭! Just give me about 15 min to start! @Mezcal - you are one of those people who somehow manages to be hilarious and intense at the exact same time, and I honestly don’t know how you pull that off. Your blogs are always entertaining, but what I really notice is how much personality you bring onto the blogs page or in games. I think you’re funny in a way that sneaks up on people, which makes your blogs even better. Food name: CosmicBrownie fun and when people like you, they love you. Ethan - you are one of those people who seems really intuitive and thoughtful about others, and that stands out to me. I appreciate the way you show up and the way you think about people, and you have a way of bringing a different perspective now and again that I've noticed. <3 Food name: LoadedBakedPotato because you have more depth than people expect Glitter - we have not interacted a ton, but I appreciate that you are part of the community. It is good having a mix of personalities. There was a recent moment where something was said by you (I don't know the full story) that I did not completely agree with or condone given the context I had, but I also believe people grow and learn from situations, and I always try to leave space for that. Food name: Sprinkles because it's close to Glitter but for food lol DOOM - you are one of those people who is hilarious without even trying, and your blogs always crack me up. I also think you are way smarter than you let on, which makes reading what you write even better. I adore you for how happy you make LEXEY, and I really appreciate what a good friend you are to me and Evan, too. Thanks for always being a friend we can count on. <3 Food name: SpicyRamen - idk it seems to fit ya PosterBoy - you are one of those people I ended up respecting even after our Celebrities game where we were on opposite sides, idk WHY though lmao. In Celebrities I trusted you and yeah, you nominated me more times than I can count, but I still thought you were smart and really funny, and I do enjoy that you have a tendency towards dry humor, which makes me lol a lot. Since, I like to think we have actually become friends and allies, and I always have fun in Race games (even when we flop) or just hanging on calls with the group. Food name: Poboy! - it's just a shorter name to what you have and who doesn't love a Louisiana Poboy!? Nexa - you are one of those people who just seems really chill, and I appreciate that more than you. We have not crossed paths a ton recently, but every interaction I can remember has been easygoing and positive, and that kind of energy is underrated. I am glad you are around! <3 Food name: Marshmallow because they are just this chill food that feels nostalgic to lots of people ;) brookie - you are one of those people I loved instantly, and that has never changed. We do not even have to talk all the time because we always just pick up right where we left off, and I know you will always have my back and I will always have yours. You literally always crack me up. Most importantly, you are truly a girls girl, and I honor that so much, because that kind of loyalty, friendship, and love can be hard to find sometimes back on TG and now here, and I am really grateful truly for you. Food name: StrawberryMilkshake - I know you are "cookie" but I chose this one because you are sweet, a little extra in the best way (pink obvi), and you bring all them boys to the yard duh ;) Blazer - you are one of those people who has just always been there, and that kind of loyalty means a lot to me. We go way back to the old Survivor days and have been allies more times than I can even count, and through all of it we have never turned on each other. I really appreciate your friendship and I am glad we have been able to share so many games and memories over the years. Food(ish) name: Blackstone LMAO ... you know why... LEXEY - you are one of those people who is just my whole heart on this site, and I do not think that will ever change. We do not even have to talk all the time because I always know you are there, and I know I could message you anytime and you would be there for me, just like I will always be there for you. I am so happy for you and DOOM, and I hope you know how much I love you, how much I appreciate your friendship, and how grateful I am for the way you have always been there for me and Evan through everything for years and years. Food name: AngelFoodCake - throwback to when we would wear our angel avis and call each other angel - also Evan's Angels aka the EvANNgers (wow) KbeastW - you are one of those people who is just genuinely easy to be around, and I have always appreciated that about you. You are loyal, friendly, and you play a solid game without needing to make a ton of noise about it, and I really respect that style. I always enjoy crossing paths with you, and I am glad you're here and we need to catch up soon! Food name: PotatoChip - lol no idea why - just seems to fit dino - you are NOT a dinosaur (lol jk..jk) you are one of those people I always notice on the blogs page because I really enjoy your perspective and your sense of humor. I still giggle about the name pronunciation thing because that genuinely cracked me up a bit, and I love little humorous moments like that when they come up on the blogs page. We have not played many games together, but I would honestly like to get to know you more because you seem like someone I would really enjoy talking to. Food name: DinoNuggets because I could not resist and YES I am that cheesy :D Kemi - you are one of those people who probably knows me better than most on this website, and I truly value our friendship more than I can put into words. You have always had my back, and you are someone I know I could go to anytime if I needed anything in the world and you would try to help, and that kind of loyalty means everything to me. You are honest to a fault, absolutely UNMATCHED with your one liners in group chats that literally make me laugh out loud, and you will always hold a special place in my heart. I think we both understand how important we are to each other, and for that alone, I am truly grateful. Love you sm <3 Food name: HotSauce - cause you so spicy and something a true Louisiana girl could never live without! ;) @Brxan - you are one of those people I have known for a long time now, and even though our history has had its rough patches, we have always been able to talk. I still think about how, even when we were not on the best terms, we could get on a call and just talk about everything, and I always genuinely enjoyed that. Now that we have made our peace, I have really enjoyed playing games together and building trust. I do believe if I ever needed something I could message you and you would try to help and I appreciate that about you. Food name: Do I even need to say it.... BaconandRice OBVIOUSLY lmao CarltonRS - you are one of those people I am really glad I met on here. You are genuinely so nice, and I adore you and katheryn so much (y'all are so cute), and I really appreciate how good of a friend you have been to Evan, too. You are an absolute beast in games, and I noticed right away how loyal you are but also really competitive, which I can appreciate and honestly am used to since Evan is the same way lol which is why I think you guys are good friends. I am really happy to have met you, and I am looking forward to getting to know you even more as we keep playing and spending time around here. Food name: RootBeerFloat - idk why it seems fun lol Space - you are one of those people who is just really easy to talk to, and I have always enjoyed the interactions we have had. We have not interacted much recently, but every interaction has been positive or just the game, and you come across as thoughtful and laid back, which I appreciate. I am glad we have crossed paths here, and I am looking forward to playing more together in the future! Food name: Since your name is Space I think MilkyWay lol Jaded - you are one of those people I feel like I have known forever, and it still makes me laugh that you used to hate me on the other site and now here we are. You are so extra, so funny, and literally hilarious on calls, and I love both your competitive side and your crazy side in games because it just makes everything more fun. We don't talk all the time, but I always enjoy it when we do, and I really do think of you as a great friend and someone I know I would always be loyal to, and I genuinely appreciate you and adore who you are, especially outside the craziness of the site. Food name: PopRocks - because they are so fun and a crazy experience - just like us ;) PadamPadam - you are one of those people where even when games get chaotic between us, I have never stopped thinking of you as a friend. I know Outcasted got a little crazy and I was like I cannot play with you, but honestly I think that just means we are similar in games and both go hard, which I actually respect a lot. Outside of that you have always been sweet and kind to me, and you know I like you and that we will always be friends. You are a really strategic player, you compete hard, and I genuinely respect that about you. Food name: Wasabi (game analogy lol - stick with me) looks sweet and innocent enough until you try a bit of it and are wtf did I just do...LOOOL itsamodernlife - you are one of those people I always notice, first because I genuinely love your username and second because you really are def great at arena (I need to join with you sometime). We have not played together a ton and I do not think we know each other super well, but I have seen you around the blogs page and you seem witty, smart, and like someone who is loyal and competitive, which I really respect. I have honestly enjoyed getting to know you secondhand just by being around the same spaces, and I would definitely like to play more together sometime. Food name: CheeseFries - I mean...who doesn't love cheese fries? yawnha - you are one of those people that when they joined Kovaze I was like omg hey, I know them, and I honestly always enjoy it when I cross paths with you. We have never been super close, but every now and then you will post or say something that genuinely makes me giggle, and I appreciate that more than you probably realize. It is always nice having familiar faces around, and I am glad you are one of them. Food name: Waffles! Idk it just seems to fit ya lol Rain - you are one of those people who has always been such a good friend to me and also to Evan (which i love how close y'all are), and I value you more than I say. You are incredibly loyal and trustworthy, and you are one of those people I know I can always trust no matter what, which means everything to me. You are also just genuinely kind to everyone, and I really respect the way you quietly maneuver through games and still do so well without needing to be loud about it. I am really grateful for your friendship and always will be. Food name: Gumbo ofc! Louisiana knows Louisiana ;) Mackey - yess queen of Kovaze who I have def noticed around here, and I have enjoyed! You definitely have a personality that stands out, and I mean that in a good way, and you are always very on brand. I hope we get to play some games together tbh when I join. From what I have seen, you bring a fun energy and you make things interesting just by being involved, and I appreciate that here in this community. Food name: GrilledCheese - classic and gets the job done with minimal fuss :D Lover - you are one of those people I feel like I have known forever, and I value you so much. We have always just had that mutual respect for each other, and you have always been so kind to me, both in the past and now, and that has always meant a lot to me. I really do think you are a great person, and on top of that you can absolutely be a force to be reckoned with in games, which I respect a lot. I am really glad we have stayed in each other’s lives on here and have so many fun memories! Miss ya often but so glad when we talk Food name: Churro! idk why lmao, when I think of you I think that - who doesn't love churros! Slayking123 - you are one of those people I have seen around in games and you always seem really nice and easy to be around. We have not really gotten the chance to know each other that well yet, but you do well in games and you come across as someone who plays hard while still keeping a good attitude, which I respect. I am glad we have crossed paths and I am looking forward to playing more together. Food name: IceCream - idk i feel like if IceCream could pick a username it would be "Slayking" lol... Arris - you are one of those people I have really enjoyed talking to whenever we have crossed paths. I know in the last game I tried hard to get you to trust me before I went out, and it did not do a great job before that moment to help that, but I still respected the way you played and I think it honestly worked out for you anyway. Every time we have talked though I have genuinely enjoyed it, and I would really like to work together in a game sometime because I think we would do well. Outside of all that, I think you are really nice, really strategic, and just someone I appreciate both as a player and as a person. Food name: SnowCone - idk i feel it fits lol Jdaddy - you are one of those people I am always genuinely happy to see around, and it really does feel like we go way back at this point lol. You have always been so loyal, so fun to talk to, and just someone who brings good energy wherever you go, and I have always appreciated that about you. You are great in games, you keep things interesting, and you just have a way of making things more fun without even trying. I always enjoy whenever we cross paths, and I am really glad we are friends. <3 Food name: you are KingCake obviously @Sad202 - lol when did you change your username - this is so funny you are one of those people I feel like I have so many memories with at this point, and I will always be glad for that. I know things got a little quiet after the last time we talked, but I could never stay upset with you for long, and I hope you know I still think you are a great person and an incredible gameplayer. We have been through a lot of games and moments over the years. I am really glad we have crossed paths the way we have, and I always enjoy whenever we talk or play together. Food name: SourPatchKids to go with your new name lol MessyJ - you are one of those people who just has a really fun personality, and I always notice that about you. You are definitely a force in games, but you are also strategic and think things through. Every time we have crossed paths I have enjoyed it, and I would honestly love to play together more because I think we would have a lot of fun. You also just seem like a genuinely good person, and I always appreciate people who bring that kind of energy around here. Food name: Spaghetti - classic and a bit messy like your UN suggests ;) Grrrrrrrracie - you are one of those people who is just such a bright light, and you always have been. I feel like I have known you for a long time, and you have consistently been one of the nicest, kindest people, which is something I have always appreciated about you. I really hope you have been doing well, and I always love seeing you around because you just bring such a good energy with you. Food name: JellyBean! colorful and fun just like you <3 queen NaughtyNacho - okay BADDIE ALERT!! (LMAO) I honestly do not even know what to say about you because at this point you are just my best friend and that has never really changed. From the moment we met we just clicked, and you have always been there for me no matter what, and I mean that. Between you and Evan, I really feel like you both shaped my whole experience on sites like this, and somehow we have managed to spend countless nights on calls laughing way too hard (it's SHOT O'CLOCK) and probably being extra and bantering about Race scores, but I would not trade those memories for anything. You are also an amazing player, seriously, and I am always thankful to have you in my corner, both in games and outside of them. I am really lucky to have you in my life, and you already know that. Food name: you already have one but I choose Margarita because it's one of my faves and goes awesome with some nachos ;) love you so much @Sinister - Chase! first of all I love the new username! You are one of those people I am genuinely so glad to have as a friend, and we really do go way back at this point. You are so sweet, so kind, and incredibly loyal and trustworthy, and that is something I value so much. I also so enjoy our fun nights playing and on call and laughing so much - you are so funny! lol! I also adore your personality because you are genuinely funny, and when you lock in you can be really strategic in games too, which I respect. More than anything, you are just a really great friend, and I am really grateful for you, always. <3 Food name: Martini - with your new UN this seems to fit; plus who doesn't love a really good martini ;) ilysm Sprite - you are so so talented, and I genuinely admire that about you! From what I have seen, you are also really loyal to the people you are close with, and I respect that a lot. I like your personality some of your blogs that made me laugh, and I always appreciate people like YOU who bring creativity and humor into this space. I am glad we have crossed paths here and I always enjoy seeing what you post, whether it's your art or just you being you! Food name: Sherbet idk it kinda reminds me of the cute username you already have and I think it's kinda you! :)

a place I’d be Sydney tbh

Mardi Gras Story So my house backs up to a road that gets high traffic due to the parade happening downtown. There I am, in my driveway after my walk, minding my own business, and driving past there’s big Bubba in the passenger side of this big pick up. He proceeds to stretch himself out the window to flash me his big pale hairy man boobs, scream “YEA BABY”, and throw me a purple bead which, to his credit, landed almost right at me feet. 🤣

to TWO presents! Thank you my divas MissChloeKay brookie ily both sm

Worth the $20 to rent it? I read the book and loved it, I know the movie won’t be as good probs.

Has anyone ever experienced trauma manifesting itself, after some time or if the trauma is re-triggered, into OCD-like symptoms? If you feel comfortable speaking on this, was it very subtle?

My Valentine is ___. Today, I hope __. My Valentine is Evan. Today I hope he gets me chocolate covered strawberries and I get him new … 🤫.

Please tell me below which Valentine’s Day flame I should get. The one that screams “Britt” the most. I’m an over thinker and can’t deal with this many options and unfortunately can only afford one! I wish they were gift-able (hint hint Sin)!

something mean but then remembered I’m nice.

It's true.

if given the chance? I just always look at big sporting events like how can you see anything unless you have amazing seats? And when I have been to big sporting events I am so damn short that all the big dudes around me crowd me and jump around screaming. College sporting events I feel are far superior.

This is a lot but it's the LAST blog I promise, the end game blog, so bear with me! Here's a link to blog #1: https://kovaze.com/blog/70443 Here's a link to blog #2: https://kovaze.com/blog/70489 Category: The Endgame – Shopping Runs, Danger Zones, and Weapons...so many weapons For me, the endgame is final 12 and below, and if you are lucky enough to make it that far out of a cast of 60, this is easily the most fun part of the game. 1. The world suddenly feels huge. Nothing really changes with the rate of weapon or health pop ups (a potential fix in game mechanics maybe??), and the map does not shrink, so it almost feels like the world opens up. There is more room, fewer people, and a lot more opportunity to move around and collect. 2. Movement becomes even more powerful. What makes this phase really fun is that items spawn in areas even when you are not there and they stay spawned. If you have enough stamina and a few stamina items, you can literally go on a shopping run around the arena. You can also team up with a few people and sweep areas where nobody has been, collecting weapons and materials quickly. 3. Spawning may need a little tuning late game. I do think once the game reaches around final 12, the spawn rate and maybe even the grid size could be reduced a bit. It became a bit crazy especially when someone ended up with about 300 Kunai lol. If you move around enough and make a kill or two you can stack an almost wild number of weapons in a short time. 4. Danger zones are actually worth it late game. I did not talk about these much in the last blog, but danger zones really shine in the endgame. Weapons and items spawn faster there, so if you can safely sit in one of those rooms for a while, you can build a little collection of items a bit more quickly. 5. Pop ups are not capped, which changes strategy. You can collect as many items as possible, and when you eliminate someone you get all of their weapons. For me, weapons spawned far more than food or stamina, and arrows spawned the most by far. Item Rankings: Best to Worst 1. Teleport Best item in the game, no contest. One click and you are anywhere on the map with no stamina required. You can teleport to friends for help, escape danger instantly, or reposition strategically. I loved this item. 2. Energy Pack Restores stamina to 100 and gives you five moves, which is huge. The only reason it is not number one is that teleport is faster in a true emergency. I do think these could spawn a little more often since stamina refills so slowly. 3. Kovazebees A cute fave of mine lol. These randomly transport everyone in your square to different locations with no damage. It is basically a chaotic teleport that also messes up your opponents or allows you and your allies to go check out different parts of the map with no stamina cost. They are obviously not great if you are trying to reach a specific person for help, but pretty clutch for escaping someone trying to jump you. 4. Bomb and Sniper Both pretty strong long range damage options. The bomb hits everyone in the room, so be careful not to take out your friends. Different mechanics, similar usefulness. 5. Health Pack Restores 20 health and very helpful after being jumped. I would totally rank these higher if they spawned a little more frequently because I think the spawning rate of these was a tad bit low. 6. Kunai Simple, reliable, and effective. Five damage to someone in your room, straight serious business. 7. Food Necessary and solid mechanically. I never starved, but if I ignored pop ups for too long my food definitely dropped. 8. Arrows These spawned the most and only do one damage each. I really wish they did slightly more damage because by the time you click through a bunch of them, your target has usually left and you have mostly just annoyed them or shown your cards. 9. Poisoned Berries Public service announcement: Do not eat food from people you do not trust. Honestly, maybe not even from people you kind of trust. People find it funny to hand these out but I do think most people don't fall for it because they know these exist. How I Died (and One Fix That Would Help a Lot) One of the small but important flaws is that there is no notification when someone enters your area. If you are not constantly refreshing and are trying to hide, someone can enter and leave without you ever knowing. This is exactly how I died. Someone found me, I did not notice in time, and I did not have time to move. There are already notifications for item use, so something simple like "Chase entered the castle area" would make a huge difference defensively and reduce the need to sit and refresh constantly. Overall Thoughts: Would I play this again? Absolutely. Sin has done a great job. The game is complex, exciting, and layered with different strategies. If you are not great at comps, do not worry. Movement as defense matters more than anything imo but you MUST be active with the current mechanics. I am genuinely excited for the people who have not gotten to play yet. Top 4 Best Things 1. Final 10 strategy and movement around the island; I LOVED the map concept and strategy this required. 2. Friends being able to help you or fight with you (with their weapons) was really hilarious at times and made for a great time on call. 3. Movement mechanics and the ways to navigate the arena was very fun to think through and strategize about. 4. The opening bloodbath phase is literally perfection, Sin did a great job here. Top 4 Suggested Fixes 1. Some LIMITED flexibility for being offline without being defenseless, something that wouldn't be abused or drag out the game but allow a person to breathe a bit. 2. Reduced item spawning and possibly a smaller arena late game as the cast gets smaller. 3. Notifications when a player enters your area PLEASE to keep from having to constantly refresh. 4. A slightly smaller cast size, maybe around 30 players, to ME seems like a good fit. Overall, this game was chaotic, strategic, occasionally stressful, and ridiculously fun, and I would absolutely jump back into the arena again. TLDR: The endgame is the most fun, teleport is king, stamina is life, and if you are not paying attention someone will absolutely wander into your square and ruin your day. Thank you Sin for all the hard work I am sure this took! Readers - sorry this is an actual novel but if you made it this far thanks for listening! xo
