Been super swamped with work and other things, so I didnāt end up getting around to this until now, but here we are!
GROUP GAME TAG QUESTIONS
==========================
1. What has been your best group game experience and why?
Ooooh thatās a tough one, Iām actually gonna separate this into 2 categories though because I feel like itās necessary to show all sides. Those categories being my best PERSONAL group game experiences (basically how much I had fun playing it) & My best group game experiences STRATEGICALLY and how I think I played the game.
With that being said, I think my best personal group game experience would have to be RSF 32: The Gauntlet 2. This is by far the single best season of any group game series Iāve ever played. From the perfectly executed way of voting/partner twist, to the dramalicious events of Round 8, this season was insane and full of so many iconic moments. Chris1080, Christian_ & IceIceBaby being ostracized by their teams and repeatedly being thrown in, 3 secret pairs being paired up in the SAME round giving all 6 of them immunity and basically sending 4 people into the elimination who werenāt even voted for, Timster struggling to add numbers in the final giving the underdogs the win (and robbing poor #IceIceBaby & jman96)??? If this season was on TV, itād bring the RATINGS!
Close Second: M&Nās Survivor 19: Brazil. This season was off to a slow start and honestly wasnāt something I was putting a ton of effort into until the merge hit. But right when it didā¦everything changed lol. One by one my entire alliance was decimated because some sour little girl lemons ended up flipping on us and caused us to be in the minority. At the final 7, it was me vs 6 other people (all of my allies had left), and as much as I tried to talk to them, they wanted absolutely nothing to do with me (most likely because they were scared of being associated with me). However I ended up winning 4 individual immunities & found 2 idols, and basically made it to the FTC by force. Luckily with all of my fallen allies on the jury, I ended up prevailing and winning the season! Despite the deliberate isolation, I put this on my personal best group game experiences because it honestly felt fucking amazing to defy the odds and basically single-handedly unravel an entire side! Mike Holloway is shaking.
Close Third: TTRS 38: Cutthroat. Iām adding this to the list, because it was honestly so much fun to play. Somehow, aiwfwyattroh, bigben1996 and myself ended up on the same team, and basically skated our way to an easy win. We were all pretty decent friends at the time in the same friend group (The Brovivors), and playing with friends and kind of just fucking around is one of the best things to do in a group game. Despite Wyatt & Ben arguing throughout the ENTIRE final and being a mess, we ended up snatching up that win in an overall pretty chill season. (also LockerAmi is still upset by our betrayal, Ben)
Now moving on to my best group game experiences played in a strategic sense.
Thereās no question to the best all-around game Iāve played on this website. It has to be RSF 44: Redneck Island 2. When I say I played that game, I PLAYED THAT MF GAME! From the get-go I was in game mode. I was fresh off a win in the series, and I wanted to continue the streak. I started off strong winning the Trials for the Veterans and being able to pick my partner first. I didnāt want somebody too threatening, but I also didnāt want a complete dud either, so I ended up picking semajdude which ended up being a great longterm decision (especially at the Final 4 when we still didnāt seem that threatening going into the Final). We threw every single challenge except for the last 3 because I had formed connections and was added to alliances with basically every single other team in the game. I distinctly remember splozojames50 calling me out in the skype chat being like āWell Ethanās obviously throwing lolā¦ā or something along those lines. From the strategic game, to the social game, toā¦ultimately the physical game with winning the Final, I absolutely hit it out of the park with this season. Also beating Group Game ROYALTY in BOBROCKS333 in a Final? Unheard of. Thatās not shade, I absolutely love Jacob <3
Close Second: RSF 50: Clash of the Champions. This is gonna come in at a very close second, because from Day 1 I was an immediate target for a bunch of people. Luckily I got past Stage 1 fairly easily, but Stages 2-4 was where I had a ton of issues. People wanted my HEAD that game, and it all became apparent when people made a smart but annoying move by getting myself and #Christian_ voted in against each other in the elimination. After narrowly beating him, it was all out war between two huge sides, and I somehow managed to escape going in for the rest of Stage 2 and all of Stage 3 (which #splozojames50 & I dominated btw). Stage 4 was a little trickier with me having to win 2 eliminations. I lost the jury vote to get a free pass to the Final by ONE vote (I still blame Patrick319), but still somehow finessed my way there to win yet another season. I put this on the list because ESPECIALLY in Stage 2, so so SO much strategy was going on to the point where I thought my head was going to explode. I very narrowly escaped going in so many times, and I feel like I finally realized that I thrive in seasons that are very divided LMAO. Also to win a season where every single person has won before was pretty cool ngl.
2. What has been your worst group game experience and why?
My worst group game experience HANDS DOWN is Cutthroat Survivor 13: Overstepping Champions. Iāve heard from multiple people before/after that season that _JB_ is a great host (which I knew he was bc we used to be in the same friend group), but idk if it was just that specific cast, or if it was just toxic, or what, but holy cow it was so bad. I felt like the host didnāt like the season/cast and it showed, and all of the players just bitched and moaned the whole time which just left a bad taste in my mouth. It was also really awkward when AllieBoBallie & #Patrick319 didnāt like iYBF and I was in the middle of it all, yikes. Also BB5lover Iām not over your betrayal! Maybe one day!
Close Second: Cmackās Survivor 50: Battle of the Champions. This is solely on this list because turney1805 decided to be high off of pain killers and lash out at people! Meanie :(
3. What are some of the best alliance names you have been a part of?
ig The Brovivors? Idk if thatās an actual alliance since we all backstabbed each other sometimes, but we all know who was a part of that.
I donāt remember the name of the alliance, but myself, Ryan_Jambe & Samhuss had a 3-person alliance in NB Reality 7: WhoDunnit, and we caused SO much turmoil! Us making a fake riddle to kill off #Mybash_ was a great highlight.
4. What is a series you wish you could return to that you haven't yet?
Iām actually gonna say #LoganWormās Survivor. Is it ever coming back? Nope LOL, but he honestly put so much effort into his seasons, even to the point of making his own Tribal Council Music, like you could tell he was ALL IN.
5. What are some group games you would love to play but haven't yet?
Absol LOL @ Gauntlet 2, yeah matching up the partners was definitely something in the final. I think our whole team was on CHATZY??? It was really messy. And it's fine with the TAR stuff lol I knew you were kidding
Also Jacob & I were robbed in RI2 we slayed the whole game and the final but we literally got stuck bc we combined knew a total of 10 ppl left on the site and RShow thought we could spam 25 ppl... the nerve
Pieguy555 Oh I did play much better in HvV but I was just ranking all-around personal experiences and Brazil only ranks higher bc it was fun for me personally to end a group of ppl who didn't have interest talking to me.
Close Second: Cmackās Survivor 50: Battle of the Champions. This is solely on this list because turney1805 decided to be high off of pain killers and lash out at people! Meanie :(
