How did Konrad's inactivity affect this tribe as a whole? What would've been different had he not had computer troubles and been active?

I'm glad I got this question actually. Konrad's computer problems is probably the main single event that's been the reason of Zaranha's failure. Let's start off with the first challenge - Constellations. Konrad fought hard, and managed to get the best score by far. You might argue that the first score means nothing, but if you look at the other high scorers, you see Evan in second place. He went out early, due to personality clashes or something, but he still managed to get good scores for his tribe. Tyler, the only top 3 scorer remaining, has continued bringing Corvo great scores, and is probably a fairly large reason of Corvo's success. From this we can assume, that if Konrad had been here, we would not have lost as many challenges as we have. I mean, he probably would've scored high, as compared to 0, which would've helped the whole tribe in all challenges (except the first one, we were doomed there). Also, Konrad's unfortunate inactivity didn't only affect the tribe in challenges, but also socially. Konrad was a great guy to have around, and he knew what he was doing. Had he been with us we would've had a much more cooperating tribe. Instead, the 4 of us that remains have been growing really close, and that actually makes it really hard to vote someone out tonight. I could've told so much more about this, but I'm not sure anybody'd be interested in reading anything longer than this ;) I'll finish with a great quote from Konrad himself though, from the Zaranha group chat, just after he told us about his computer problems and just before he disappeared: "If I don't come back, go without me! Save yourselves!" That's exactly what happened - he never came back, we moved on, and he did save us from TC once. R.I.P Konrad ;(

Tl;dr Konrad's absence has been affecing the tribe negatively the whole time.

Once again, you guys were blown away in the challenge. What can you do to step it up?

Once again, we just have to try harder, communicate better, and never give up!
