I felt like I wanted to write something up, and I'm not usually one for long posts. I think Chibi did a wonderful job on his blog here explaining how the game played out: https://www.kovaze.com/blog/64921. Instead, I wanted to share a moment/interaction with each person that I remember from my perspective or thought was iconic. Thank you all for making it an enjoyable experience, and thank you to Sin for creating this game, regardless of how little sleep I got.
51st Slayking123, the start was very hectic, and at the time I just knew I wanted to fight people in the bloodbath. Sadly, we never had the chance to talk past that, but I did carry a piece of you with me for the remainder of the game.
50th MarieEve, we never had the chance to interact with eachother but I do remember Surfersorbet avenging you almost instantly after your death!
Also, another 50th because of the same time deaths, but Ijbol or XayahFeathers I fear we just never had the chance of interacting because of how hectic the early game was.
49th Dynasty, see Ijbol!!
48th NicoRobin I remember leaving the bloodbath for the first time, and you had been fighting Marwane on and off for I think about half an hour? You sent me a super funny message about jumping him together and then ended it with "but anyways, hi" and then boomed less than a min later.
47th cswaggerr First poisonous berry death icon!!!
46th RobbieRIOT Second poisonous berry death, but immediately after I got a Pm from you and it sent me.
45th Narcissus we both knew that we were opps and it showed from minute one in the bloodbath where we fought 3 times. You were one of the only people I truly played a comp against that game, as people started to figure out fighting wasn't the meta pretty fast.
44th Dagoat We never interacted!!
42nd/42nd Drewmeliabedelia the absolute icon that you are, deciding to fight back against Kemi that game, but that's also really all I can remember you for because the fights didn't last long.
Antog We never interacted!!
41st Spikedcurley you were my first jumpscare of the game. When most people were still alive, I think everyone was feeling it out and playing a bit more passively. I remember getting a wire popup and not 2 seconds later, you ran into my location, and I thought I was getting jumped so fast.
39th Nuke, I have to post this because you knew you were getting rowed out and decided to deal 50 damage to everyone around you. Truly living up to your name, and I gasped when I saw that this happened. Kemi screaming "XAKIM NO" is icing on the cake.
38th Bryce We never interacted either!!
37th Evan you were one of the people whom I felt like I could trust from the start of the game, and we were two of the last three or four people that stayed in the bloodbath after it ended. I think your death signified the first big moment where everyone knew that no one was safe, and we couldn't just "Gamebot" our way out of this one.
36th Corey1 I feel like we never had the best chance to interact, and then there was a big call with what felt like half the cast which ended in some berries being eaten.
35th venharim We never interacted!
33rd Benopolis
32nd Smores_Poptart Oh my god, I actually think this placement is maybe the only robbed one because you couldn't click popups for two days I felt so bad. Truly had to play the social game and get people to give you food/medkits/weapons.
30th's Kemi I really thought you had this game in the palm of your hands for the first half. You were the only one who called me out for being in like every single group chat that was made and I WAS SCARED of you. So scared that gave you half of my arrow stack just to stay off of your target list for the time being.
Surfersorbet the second queen of the cliff alongside Medusa. The night that I slept with both of you at the cliffs was the only night in the whole game that I got a full eight hours of sleep, and for that I thank you both. I really think you were robbed of your game by just being in the wrong place at the wrong time when Kemi got bombed by beauty pussy and her squad. There are so many variables in this game and I truly believe that if you had survived the Kemi bombing incident, you would have made top 10. I really enjoyed mapping out the arena with you also when the first night we figured out half the locations couldn't even be travelled to!!
29th Pgamer The first person I sent poison berries to even though everyone knew not to trust food given to them, lmaoooo I'm still so sad about Surfer getting caught up in your gameplans.
28th Posterboy I think you had the most iconic gif of the entire games made after you. You were another one of those big players that I was truly worried about. You are also right in that I was a follower for the first half of the game.
27th Bagel We never had our moments together in the game, but I am glad that I reached out to say hi even though you were on your last legs. You revealed one of the big alliance group chats to me that I was unaware of and I think things would have been very different if you didn't help me out like that so thank you! A great personality and I look forward to future games together.
26th Aligxo Really I only had the chance of talking to you maybe once this game when we were perched on top of the mountain together as I was passing through looking for popups.
25th Fire I remember attacking and losing to you in lucky drop on day 1 right after the bloodbath and was being so stubborn in wanting my health back. Evan really did talk me out of a fight to the death with you but after the fights, we were super chill past that. Also you going in on Sin was sending me.
24th Mittens We really were in the careers chat together and didnt really talk at all but we had that shared understnading that we were probably not fighting eachother until at least F10. I also think youre the main reason that Bagel died by being smart about not running away from the comp.
22nds Manon We really were the beach bitches night one and I found your comments about Chibi for 90% of your time in the game to be super funny. I felt like you were stuck in the cycle of looking for food/medkits and im glad I was able to help you out in the early game. I also think we really share the same level of paranoia about everyone.
Marwane I know we were in a bunch of chats together but I also felt like after Kemi went down you were the biggest threat in the game. You played the game with heart and soul and are one of the few other people I know who missed out on HOURS of sleep to get any advantage you could. We never truly coordinated anything together but some of the calls that we were on were super fun with everyone screaming about what was going on.
21st Ryleigh I thought my posts would get longer as I went down the list but our only interaction was you hopping into my area and immediately leaving sdoifsodifjusdfsd
20th Idol I honestly didn't even know you were in the game for the first day you went so under the radar but I was gagged when you teleported to the eye after being bombed by Aligxo and screamed "YOU WANNA FIGHT BITCH LETS FUCKING GO THEN" and then proceeded to end her.
19th Chris I talked to you prior to this game a bit and my impression was that you were just joining this game to slip on by and play casual but wow, I was so wrong. You made it to the top half of the game evading Cheesecake but that man was on a warpath and I don't think anyone could stop him... It was really nice getting to talk to you more!
18th Sin I know youre a busy man and you didn't have the most time to chat about the game but I sat in your squares while you were afk for the better half of two days because I knew noone wanted to be in an area of more than 1-2 people. I remember being messaged by others saying they wanted to kill you after suspecting you of having food. When they tried to jump you, you teleported away and ate 9!!!!!! food in a time in the games where people were starting to starve to death and I think that was one of the iconic moments. You also used the incognito chat very well!
17th Hauntedwaves I was never against you and I truly tried to keep you alive in the game near the end. I do wish things had gone down differently but other than that we didn't talk the most but I weirdly felt safe with you. You were also the one (sadly) who found out that going to 0 food meant you lost 1hp/min.
16th Greedy I know you got taken out by Medusa but im also pretty sure that you were going to starve to death almost right after she killed you anyways. Youre most iconic moment was using the 5 food that you got from Ben, giving some real food to Style/Azah and then giving poisonberries to Sean. I honestly thought It was going to work too but Sean was a very cautious player.
15th Cheesecake I might be wrong but I feel like you got bored and started attacking people around this point. It could have been because of hunger too. I got the vibe in most of our conversations that you were sussing me out as a possibility to attack and we did scout for popups side to side for a little bit!
14th Snowglobe I was in the old cabin talking to you literally minutes before all the shit started to drop and thank god for that becuase I almost got caught in that mess. I remember Marwane/Hwest and Manon/Pumpkin having the most intense 2v2 and then from out of nowhere you step in and take both out? I dont remember how you got killed after that but that was a big turning point in the game.
13th Pumpkin LOL I dont think we chatted a single time or were in any group chats togehter but you did your Manon big one and left the game skinny.
12th Hwest14 I really was scared of you for the whole game and I think that was justified becuase we had never spoken. Once I found out about you and Essence though I think that my mind was at ease becuase I didn't think she would say yes to going after me as a target. The biggest thing I remember was you teleporting to Marwane and giving him a few health packs during that war.
11th Style You were also one of the few people I felt that I could fully trust in this game and imo your death was the catalyst that brought the final 6 chat of Azah,Sean,Chibi,Ess,Medusa, and I together. We were talking very consistently by updating eachother with info we had learned and who we thought we could trust or not. Sadly we were planning on jumping Cristi after you were off work but you had to be away for 30 mins and in this cutthroat game thats all that she and a few others needed to get you. I had talked about giving up a few times and you were very supportive and saw what I couldn't in me winning the game.
10th @leehowminoy Im so sorry ive apologized to you already for this but Yander literally was masterminding the Style killing and I acted kind of irrationally once we put together the final group chat. We used all of our snipers and you took the poison berry route which I respect.
9th Azah we had a moment where we were both sleep deprived and the paranoia got to us both but it was worked out! You got taken out at work too which really sucked for our group. You/Greedy/Chris running the Lake was iconic.
8th Yandertron21 We fed information about eachother to other groups throughout the game and I think for the most part we knew that about one another. You were never my true target and in reality a group chat was put together in maybe 5 mins once you were scouted by Ess because we had all figured out where the leaks were coming from. I think it showed how things in this game really can turn on a dime but I beleive you played a great game considering you were a big threat in the mid game and managed to escape that. Biggest moment with you was how we never trusted eachother enough to stay in the same square for more than 2 seconds and I def dropped bees twice SO FAST bc I just felt like something was going on and I think that attests to how I felt about your threat level.
7th Motherfart I still dont have the screenshots but you were good with EVERYONE left in the game and you had a massive arsenal from being basically untouched up until we found you. Your death was the only one I really think people didn't see coming but you were probably winning the game if Sean/Medusa and I didn't make that play. Your supplies were a major part in fighting Cristi and Sophie and we had pretty good rumours about a group chat between you three.
6th Sophie you really played fast and hard and struck when you needed to. You honestly were not on my radar at all until final 11 when out of nowhere you all blitzed Style. I think youre a great social player and 100% my favourite moment with you was that on the fly group chat that took Yander out of the game. at one point I think everyone except for you and Cristi were out of stamina and I realllly thought you guys were winning the game. I feel like the way we took you out was a testament to how STRONG of a player you were.
5th Cristi or Beauty Pussy LMAO. My favourite moment with you was the same as with Sophie but I also think you were one of, if not the funniest person to play with in this game. I know a lot of people around the mid game were saying it was boring but you stepped in with your hilarious callouts in public chats even if they were against me and it really added a lot to this game.
4th Chibi I had absolutely no intentions of speaking or working with you this game when we entered and I felt like you were part of the "Career" pack of Bagel/Kemi/Poster. This game changes so fast though because all it took was a simple voice message to you saying "Im passing through give me 14 mins" and then our line of communication opened. Youre super funny and I have now seen firsthand why youre such a good Survivor player. There were too many good moments with you to post them all!!
3rd PureEssence I really can't believe we made it as far as we did together. You and Medusa ended up being the two people that I knew I felt like I could trust 100% in this game and it was solidified when we all ate food given from one another throughout the game. You deserve kill assists for the basically endless amount of information you helped us all gather and im very happy that our final 6 group just clicked. My first favourite moment with you was when we were all stuck in fights and you were running around the map with 10 energy drinks, providing very fun commentary and scouting for Sean. The second one was when we had found Cristi and we were jumping her you spammed your kunais so fast that you threw one into my back instead of hers. It was a pleasure and im very happy that ive solidified you as a good friend going forward!
2nd Seanaconda I feel like we were both playing the same game from the start and that was to lay low until we had to absolutely make moves. I had worked with you in arenas prior, and while I didn't really get the 100% all the way vibe from you, we were still in almost every group chat together. I think you were one of the most cautious players in the game and it really worked out for you. I think the funniest moment was when we made it to final 5 and you posted the gif all your poison berries you collected through the game and asked to play roulette. Im sorry it came down to us in the end but you were a big reason this game feels super memorable to me.
And finally to my 0th partner Medusaluh. I knew I could trust you from day one and that showed in this rollercoaster game. Half of the game and we talked here and there in groups together but it didn't really start until final 15ish. You risked yourself for me on more than one occasion at one point spending a whole 4-6 hours by my side in the Cornfield because I was stuck fighting Cristi. I feel the same way with you as I did with Ess in knowing we could share resources, including food. I think my best moment with you has to be when we were on call, both sleep-deprived and delerious and we finally hit the final 2 mark. We both kind of knew the system gave the same placement to people who died at the same time and wanted to be the (hopefully) only double Royale winners in a season. Thank you so much and I really cant believe we got here from being opps in survivor.
Anyways, I was writing this on and off and despite how you feel about me this game, I wanted to thank you all for making it a wonderful experience and thank you to Sin for providing me with the opportunity to play it!
Tldr: Random thoughts and opinions from my perspective. I really do feel like this game is something special and has a lot of potential with a few tweaks in the future to be the most fun and interactive thing Sin has come up with yet.
