One of my biggest weaknesses in these types of games is my unwillingness to approach people first. I overthink what the right thing to say is when I've never spoken to someone before, and as a result I don't send a message at all. That's obviously suicide in a game like this, where those social connections are imperative right off the bat and connections forged on day one can last the length of the game. Thankfully, there seems to be an eager cast, because while I sit there and fret over what to say to someone, I get three messages in my inbox. Responding to greetings and inquiries, that's much easier for me to do than initiating those greetings. For a moment though, I want to talk about Japan, because I think my game in Japan is going to hang over my head for however long I'm here in Ireland. That was my very first ORG, I made a lot of rookie mistakes, and I still came pretty close to pulling the whole thing off. That gives me a lot of confidence coming in to this game. I want to do something similar here. I want to find a "Sally," a Lane, somebody who is intricately connected with all the goings-on of the game, and I want to attach myself to them. I want to ride deep into the game with them, and cut their throat at the right time while staying relatively quiet myself, but not too quiet! Getting as close with Lane as I did in Japan was one of the highlights of that game for me, and I would love to replicate something similar here! But I had so much trouble pulling the trigger on Lane in Japan, and it probably doomed me. I'd like to think my ORG experience since then has purged me of any sentimental mush about putting friendships above the game, and that if I develop one of those relationships, I'll be perfectly ready to do what it takes when the time comes. But I'm still not sure if I'm cold-blooded enough to do that. I'm a softie at heart. But that's so far down the road! I need to figure out people's names first! |

Brooke, Bubba, and Diane have been online essentially since the board opened. They've been messaging me quite a bit, and I have to imagine they've all been messaging each other quite a bit as well. I'm keeping my eye on them, and they're probably keeping theirs on me! |
