How do you play the early game?

Oh Nich, I've *missed* you.

I had some advice, but I think most of what i was gonna say has been said already.

Mostly, talk as much as you can to everybody you can, and not burn bridges. And never forget the cardinal rule of Survivor: everybody talks to everybody about everything. Leaks happen all the time. Expect that to happen. Most of the time other players will be comparing notes, you're better to play under the assumption that they will be. So expect things you say or do to get out. You are best off keeping info to yourself if you can, you can accidentally screw over your allies if you say more than you should. So make sure your stories are the same or are kept quiet if they should be. Information is your most important tool, collecting and trading it can open so many doors, but be careful that you don't give out more than you should. Always be giving something, don't just take and not exchange.

I've been all those things depending on the game, so really, it's fair.

Yeah, the first 48 are crucial. You need to find a friend, and you need to make sure that you haven't disappeared long enough that the goodwill you may have gained at the start is forgotten about by the shiny new friend they found while you were away. Since there are people in other timezones who make late appearances, you can't be sure that you're charming enough to make up for a good showing by them. But also, if you are capable of doing it, being up late and the only person that is around for when people in other timezones can first show up and being willing to share your impressions of the tribe they haven't gotten to meet yet can only help you out on the making friends front.

Well, this one might not be a spambot. I'm waiting to see what else they post since they have in a couple threads so far.
