School Survivor (Game Over, Congrats Hermione!)

Maybe.

That said, unlike Amanda, I think Aria would have come in so far ahead that it would have been hard for her to throw.

Oh yeah you nailed it, the lack of self-awareness was what annoyed me the most

luckily I'm so good that this never happens to me

Aria did say once that she thought she could beat them all.

I literally could not agree with this more. Outside of Survivor even more so.

i don't really buy that people shit on aria because she was "unaware"

xRECKONERx · Post Post #380 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 4:40 am

she & i had open convos about how we were both big threats so she was aware, she just put in a TON of work to convince juno that wasn't the case

Skelda · Post Post #381 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 8:48 am

Aria was completely aware, yeah. I think the biggest reason for people not liking her is her confessional. She needed to take the PMs she was sending and post them there instead. If all I had to go on was her confessional I'd probably not root for her either.

You really wanted to read almost 10k PMs?

she said straight up in confessional that juno had a 60% chance of beating her and you had like a 30% chance.

Vijarada · Post Post #384 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:01 am

she knew she was a social threat, just not even close to how much.

Well clearly there were people who would have voted for Aria over Hermione, so

40%

chance of losing to Aria seems kinda reasonable

And I mean given the number of UTR players that have won these past few seasons, it's gotta be little to no surprise that Aria thought someone playing a UTR game had a good chance of winning.

Also 40% chance (Aria/Juno) doesn't mean Aria thought she would lose, she just assessed the jury up until that point and assumed a less vocal less out there player may have less blood on their hands *shrugs*

McMenno · Post Post #386 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:34 am

yeah it's alright

I can't talk about games before that BUT

christine? didn't show up, still almost won

azmodan? claimed all the "big moves", while he was pretty utr all game (from what I understand)

tracer? basically said: "haha my whole personality was a lie I manipulated y'all the entire game"

karass? actually turned on ysera in the end, wasn't very unlikable, still barely won

But let's be real, Karass wouldn't have turned on Ysera if the only alternative wasn't a 50% chance of going home vs Lor.

McMenno · Post Post #388 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:43 am

yeah yeah, tiebreaker rules etc. etc.

I guess the point is that ysera would've crushed karass the same way aria would've crushed juno

actually juno said the same thing about you. our response was "yeah actually we've got a pretty good idea about that".

Not that round no, she wanted to vote me out F4 the same way Reck has said Herm wanted to deal with Aria. For the same reasons too. It's funny how alike our pairs were.

McMenno · Post Post #392 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:29 am

oops I forgot that ysera was voted out at F5

memory's a little fuzzy and all

I mean round 5 tbh. I try not to speculate on what "might have been" because we don't know because it didn't happen.

Did I say that about Aria, or others? You would probably remember what I said better than I do and so I could be wrong, but there was almost no period in the game where I recall thinking I could beat Aria.

Juno wrote: If I go with Hermione/Aria, that's the chalk F3 at this point. It's the ladies I've been working with most closely since the merge, and would be the remainder of the longest-standing F4 alliance minus Cam. I think if I go that route, my argument has to be one that I did more than it appeared, and how both the people sitting next to me thought I was their loyal pet when I was loyal only to me. Downside is there's a real chance I get Monica'd, especially as I would be with two people who are perceived as power players.

this maybe? also the fact that you voted hermione over aria at F4

Shadoweh · Post Post #398 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 3:17 pm

I thought Vij was referring to when Juno posted that very same Sandra gif.

SensFan · Post Post #399 (ISO) » Sat Mar 11, 2017 3:19 pm

I don't read that as too high on my chances of beating Aria, but that's fair.

As for F4, there was more to that vote. It was a calculated risk that I viewed as necessary.

I remember that gif. I didn't think it was in reference to Aria but I could be wrong.
