Cosmo- Rites of Passage

Robert - I never had a chance to speak to you, but I will say I found it extremely disappointing that you left the game without even a whisper. Being new to this org and community, I thought it was pretty rude that you took a slot many people, with the hopes of getting in, applied for.Chrissa - I think I was one of the ones who had a chance to speak to you the most before you left the game volitionally. Although this org was a game everybody signed up to play, you chose to keep it a game and left in order to give someone else a chance to stay longer and play. I thought it spoke volumes about who you are as a person that you chose to leave to give Conor an opportunity to stay despite his technology problems at the time. Although its unfortunate that you left, I can't help but to wonder how the game would've played out if you decided to stay.

Allie - I also never had a chance to speak to you, but unlike Robert your former tribemates had some stories to tell about you. While you rarely performed on challenges, you apparently had a ton of deals before they got blown up publicly. I wish I was there to see it happen.

Dusk - We had a great day one conversation, which led me to think that we would get along pretty well. Unfortunately, you chose to stop talking to me altogether, even before tribal council. So the decision to vote you out came pretty simply to me, at that point I didn't feel like I was losing anything particularly important. Your tribal however, was the calm before the storm, and with the tribe swaps that happened right after, I've never felt quite as safe as I did during your vote. I do wish that we talked a bit more, you seemed like a genuine guy.

Nate - From what I've heard, you were apparently on the outs of your own original tribe, unfortunately- you were never able to get yourself to a better position and you left before I had a chance to talk to you.

Miles - I gotta say, your elimination was pretty unexpected to me, despite the fact that you voted Luis during the tribal that Dusk left on. Due to the throwing on your tribe, I assumed the original Ampara were sticking together, so when I saw your name written down three times, it really opened my eyes and got me to rethink my game and allies.

Luis - Luis, for the first few days or weeks of the game- we got along great; we talked together and we voted together. However, the manner in which you spoke to me and the information you would reveal about the other players in the game made me realize you were playing for more than the alliance you said you were loyal to, and given your emotional temperament, that you would later become an incredible unpredictable threat. When we had the brief period after the first tribe swap ended and the second tribe swaps were being formed, Asa told me what really happened on that tribe, and for me it seemed to confirm my worst suspicions that you had finally gone power hungry. So when we were finally on a tribe together, and these suspicions seemed to be confirmed, I made the decision right then and there to take you out. While it was strictly a game move, your following actions showed me the worst this community had to offer. You took it personally, and started attacking me on a personal and game level that was strictly uncalled for. You are exactly the type of person to cheat at a game with friends strictly because you don't want to lose. You're emotionally unstable, short-sighted, and lack many of the characteristics of a genuine human being. You got caught playing your own games, but you refused to acknowledge it and blew up just like I thought you would. This was one of those cases where I was not happy to be right. You need to grow up.

Liam - Jeez, I have to wonder why you came at me so strongly right when merge happened. Is it because of what Luis told you after he left the game? I don't see why else you would have. Honestly, I think you could've played a very clean game and gone a lot further in the merge, but maybe Luis rubbed off on you, because you went straight into trying to lead an alliance to take me out. It's unfortunate for you, because I was told as soon as the revenge bus was made; I knew how you were making fun of me by posting exactly what I messaged you to your alliance chat. The twist is that I fed those lines to you, because I thought that it was truly ironic humor at its finest.

Connor - We never had a chance to talk much, until it was your neck on the line. I tried my best to talk to you during the second tribe swap with Luis, I even asked Luis to talk to you about talking to me, so we could finally talk. You still never spoke to me on that tribe, which is why the decision to vote Luis out came so easily. A ton of players almost fell for their greed and had their moments where they tried very hard to save you, assuming you would be loyal to them for the rest of the game. I just thought that if you weren't taken out then, you would've gone incredibly far.

Ari - Ari, I had a ton of fun talking to you. It's clear that you have a zest for life that won't be held back, which is why I'm assuming you chose the college you're currently going to. Although, I feel like we got along on a personal level, I don't think we ever got along at a game level. Despite being sure that your tapering levels of participation was due to real life events, there were moments where I would catch you in a lie or not telling me the truth, and those moments added up to the point where I couldn't see myself working with you at all. I'm glad to have met you tho, hope campus life at UT Austin continues to go well for you.

Asa - You were legitimately one of my closest allies, and your elimination was a heartbreaker for me. Despite your relative silence with many other players, we spoke a ton, and it was pretty fun to talk to you barring the occasional awkward silence. I just kinda wish I pressed you harder on changing Allison's vote cause, I'm sure you might've stayed then. I'm glad we had a chance to play together.Andy - We got along pretty well I think. Near the end of the first tribe swap, we allied and since then spoke a lot more or less on a fairly informal basis. I was there for when you quit your second job for a better position at your first job, and was genuinely happy for you. You also had a really good sense for the game of survivor and it was clear in our conversations. I did offer you the chance for a revote, but you never took it. For the record, I've still kept a lot of our conversations strictly private- it's only a game. Also unfortunate that our game paths diverged when we could've worked together.

Allison - I'm not sure what to say. You were responsible for one of my closest allies leaving because of an aberrant vote, and for the rest of the game you tried desperately to protect Chris who wound up voting you out anyways to stay safe. I tried my best to work with you and get far in the game with you, but it's clear you have no idea how to talk to allies or just people in general. You were paranoid, extremely transparent with your thoughts, and emotionally unstable- which made it very hard for me to work with you. While I didn't vote you out, I'm glad that you left.

Chris - My nemesis, I tried so hard to get you out or targeted for like 4-5 tribals straight in a row. There was a point where I thought I'd never be able to get you out, you were truly a beast of a player in terms of social prowess. That also being said, there was a point in the game I thought we'd go far together, but that ended rather abruptly at merge. That being said, I'm glad I got a chance to talk to you, you're a genuine human being and our conversations were very enjoyable.
