So, starting out the game, with the duo twist, I decided to first brief my duo partner and check up on his experience. I had communication with Vom and Senkun almost immediately, wanting to try to work with them. I went to make sure that Tyler was reaching out, to which I found that he'd had Ryze reach out to him. I urged him to keep that conversation healthy. When Jalemi opened dms with everyone, I responded accordingly for a potentially good alliance. Then I decided to attempt some conversation with initial friend requests to Mars and Sena. All the while, I went to establish myself as wanting and willing to help those who reached out.
For the comp, I was working on strengthening potential allies, and Ryze and Senkun had been friendly and I wanted to solidify that. When we were nominated for banishment, I admit I did flip out, but I trusted Ryze when he told me I wasn't the target, and sure enough, I was right to do so.
