Profile
Name: Nate D.

Pronouns: he/him

Starting tribe:

What is your name, age, timezone, pronouns, and occupation? Howdy rowdy. My name is Nate, and I am an 18 year old from the luscious and amazing state of Tennessee. I use he/him pronouns and I am a full time student. I am pursuing a career in pharmacy and am currently getting a public health degree.

'''Which survivor contestant would you say you are most like? Why?''' Well in a perfect world, I am like Sophie Clarke. When I am playing at my best, I am able to play a very compelling game that is a mixture of under and over the radar. I am also very snarky at times as well! She is good at Survivor though so like I feel like I am doing a disservice to Sophie Clarke by comparing myself to her. I guess I could be comparable to someone like Spencer or Stephen Fish because I am very nerdy and awkward. My social game sucks which I feel like was a feeling of Spencer's during his time in Cagayan. Hopefully I can do better here

'''What is your experience with ORGs (Online Reality Games)? What is your strategy coming into this game?''' I have played an upwards of twenty ORGs throughout my year and a half on Discord. I have been fortunate enough to win twice and receive a handful of awards, mostly Villain of the Season. I'll post a chart here in a little bit with all of my placements and notable achievements. I have been very thankful with my experience in the ORG community so far. I have made so many lifelong friends in this community and I cannot be more thankful. It's been such a good outlet for me throughout the pandemic and just in my busy life, to be able to lose myself in these games. My strategy going into this game is to try and play a quieter game than what I usually end up finding myself doing. Usually I am pegged as a large threat about the mid-merge which forces me to play hard and fast. I guess I like doing that, but it is very exhausting. I just want to be able to play a more social, understated game here. It's funny because in my last ORG I was double idoled out for being a social threat, which like NEVER HAPPENS, so like maybe we can repeat the social threat without the double idol!

What do you think will make you stand out as a player to the spectators? I don't necessarily think that I stand out in any conceivable way, but I hope that I am at least semi-entertaining, semi-funny, and semi-smart in my confessional. That is all I can really guarantee, is like a solid C+ rating across the board. Maybe you're into that, spectators, who knows? I hope that I am able to woo and charm you with my modesty

Would you rather get to the end and be hated, or be voted out early and loved? VOTED OUT EARLY AND BE LOVED. I don't like when people dislike me, it just doesn't make me feel good. And it's like... these are games for no prizes, why make myself hated by my peers on here. I had a good experience with Pridevivor where I was swap screwed and the last premerge boot, but everyone was so nice and welcoming of me to the community, so that has really dictated my answer to this question. I want to make it far obviously but like if I can't... I'd rather be loved

Survivor
Nate D. started the game on the relatively quiet Scully tribe, where he quickly found an idol. He was the only one on his tribe to take the X-Files role, so he was the only possible person who could have found the idol. Although some of his fellow tribemates (especially Moss) took note his potential idol find, he survived the first Tribal Council easily when Rob made the mistake of sending many of his tribemates, including Nate D., the same message about forming an alliance.

Heading into the second cycle, Nate D. felt closest with Andrew, Cadence, and Moss. He was abducted by the Mulder tribe after Scully won the second immunity challenge, where he began messaging members of the Mulder tribe. His messages began to rub Dark and James the wrong way, and he had little to no impact on the vote. He was shocked to see Wolfric idoled out, and brought news of his blindside back to his tribe. Shortly after, the two tribes swapped.

After the swap, Nate D. found himself in the minority on Mulder 2.0. He swapped with his close ally Cadence and found himself on a tribe with both Dark and James, who didn't have a good first impression of Nate D. based on their interactions while he was abducted. After James took Greed out of fear he would be targeted at a Joint Tribal, Mulder 2.0 attended Tribal Council. Nate D. quickly realized he was potentially in trouble and might need to play his idol. Meanwhile, the OG Mulder alliance of Christina, James, Tori, and Dark decided to blindside their fellow OG Mulder Tricky due to his role in the Wolfric blindside in hopes that Nate D. would play his idol anyway. Nate D. initially decided to save his idol, but ended up playing it just in case. He negated no votes against himself, and Tricky was blindsided unanimously.

Nate D.'s relationship with James grew even more fraught the following round, since Nate D. knew he was next on the chopping block now that his idol was gone. When Mulder 2.0 lost Emoji Charades, Nate D. knew his time was likely up, and did his best to try to flip some combination of Dark, Christina, or Tori on James. However, he was unable to flip the vote onto James and was voted out unanimously.
