Tip: Don't be a weirdo, don't be annoying, don't be inconsiderate, you'll do okay.

At some points we do, it's just a matter of what you can actually ask.

The bulk questionaires seem to have mostly died out because there's so many regular players than just answer them before they're asked. (but please don't stop doing that)
Or at least that's my opinion.

Countertip: You can be all these things as long as you're funny.

Tip: bury memes into the ground

No

We need more memeing

Yeah that's what my tip says

1. ORGANIZATION! I always am more open to reading a confessional if it's clearly organized. In the past I've tried to delineate by making a thread for each round of play; in Nexus I stepped this up by putting what tribe I was on and how many were left in the subtitle. It just makes it a lot easier, especially if you want to see a certain player's thoughts in one part of the game. Breaking it up by tribal phases is OK, and I guess if you keep it in one thread it's at least chronological, but scattered thoughts throughout a forum can really put up a barrier to reading.

2. BE RAW AND INTERNAL. I mean, to me it's just kind of like "spout whatever's on your brain!" but it's all about knowing yourself and keeping it responsibly linked to the game. I mean, just think of it as though you're really playing and you're telling yourself what you need to do to advance, what you think of people, why you are or aren't trusting them. The spectators are enjoying the game but they also want to understand the game, and it's hard for them to do that if you aren't divulging a ton to them. I try to start every thread with a tentative plan of attack for the round, and then update after every major event. Doesn't have to be anything extravagant, could just be "Think I'm gonna go after Valla." or "after this swap I'd really like to align with Wasabi and Roisin."

3. VARIETY. I think ideally confessionals should have a mixture of short and long posts. It's good to sort of regroup and post thoughts on everyone and everything and form a big wall every once in a while, but do it every round when not too much has changed and it'll be boring. Short posts really work well for in-the-moment updates, such as during the beginning of a shipwreck, or an idol hunt, or a down-to-the-wire TC. Plus you can always be a little ~quirky~ and random!!!!1!!!11, just don't overdo it!

4. OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It's up to you whether or not to reveal yourself to spectators. I've revealed in my recent games, but it seems like they cotton on pretty soon anyway. I think revealing can give the spectators a bit of perspective on you, as to what the expect and how you're diverging from your status quo.
- I think you can whine about your situation, but push it too far and you become . . . well whiny, and just, it's hard to care for. I know I pushed this limit hard in Nexus, and it's not something I endeavor to do again. It may be something to divulge to a mod or something. IDK.
- I had more points but like I said I did this all very spontaneously so I've obviously forgot them all. But maybe I will update later

should this thread move forums?

Probably! But it is more likely it will be rewritten.

Oh yes, thanks mallow/Vijarada!

Counter-countertip: If you do these things because you think you're funny, you're not actually funny. So you shouldn't be doing them.

ya ok season 34 winner hali ford

Yo so

when's the next survivor signups happening? far as i can tell MLS is ongoing; assume next one starts when it's over? big sorry if this is wrong place for this

Nobody knows.

Generally it would start right now but we have issues and also the most prolific mod isn't modding, causing a shortage

That's a shockingly accurate answer.

unlucky really
