Comrade_Snowball's Game Recap #1 PART 2
A lot of friends and lovers have been broken up over the years in SotF, but this is the first season where it isn’t technically the end. The “10 Kills” dynamic is back; sure it involves getting your hands soaked in blood, but now more than ever our players have options. Anyone could beat the odds; kill ten and a free ticket home, regardless of who is left in the game. Could Jack be taking that option, hoping Holly and the Black Team join him? He’s a pacifist, but we all know that means nothing on SotF: TV. It’s possible to assume a lot of these early game players are going for the 10 Kills.
With the mention of Holly, another important topic has just come to mind; team desertion. Yes, only one color will survive to the finale, but behind the bandannas are friends, and potentially allies. Every game without fail we seem players making alliances, some temporary, and some right up until the final bullet, even though there can be only one survivor. I’ll be blunt; those bandannas mean shit to the players at present. Alliances are still being formed based on friendships, and that won’t stop. Brenda Hernandez has managed to create a shaky alliance between members of the Brown, Red and Gold team, with minimal shouting and minimal paranoia. (Although John Benson has potentially spoiled Gold Teams chances with this alliance, given his recent actions.) Elsewhere Madelyn Connor and Mikaela Warner have done the same, the sole reasoning being THEY KNOW EACH OTHER. This isn’t a game breaker; the teams will eventually come into play, especially later on as alliances fall apart. At the moment teams are scattered and for the most part unknown. Some players are instantly buying into the team dynamic, but two schools are competing, remember that. Madelyn and Mikaela’s reasoning makes a whole lot more sense when you consider that half the kids out there come from Detroit, complete unknowns to them. A shaky alliance, yes. But understandable. I know if I was in SotF, I’d want a friend at my back, even if one of us were ultimately going down in the end. Trust is a big thing in SotF, and the divide behind the schools has kept many players searching for friends first, over team-mates.
Will all these school alliances stand strong as the game continues? We can’t be sure. The idea of four other people who are depending on you and your cooperation is one that is sure to weigh heavy on Holly’s shoulders, even now as she ditches her fellow Black Team members. For the moment however, they’ll have to live with the handicap. In a similar vein is Tristan Hart, sure to make the rest of his team’s blood boil before too long. Unbeknownst to him, Grey Team had a single gun, now currently residing at the bottom of the tar pits. How will they take it, when they find out Tristan has thrown away their best chance at survival? Tristan may not have deserted his team, but he might as well have. These handicaps could prove to be game changing, and have thrown Black Team and Grey Team to the back of the pack for now. I can’t help but wonder how will the mentors react, their team members making alliances with friends over team-mates?
It’s still a little too early to say. I’m sure all the mentors are watching their teams’ actions carefully, and have been preparing for every situation. Now, I’ve been lurking the boards and hearing that many people are dissatisfied with the slow start. Sure, it may appear that way at first glance. But if you stop a moment to look a little deeper, you’ll see what a treat we’re in for. Expect big payoffs in the days to come.

Grey Team Analysis by Ajax-Kun
Hello Internet! It’s Ajax-kun here, giving y’all my opinions on the next season of SOTF-TV. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to grab many details, having been in the Nordics ‘til like a few hours ago. Fortunately, our good friend MarWIN leaked the docs out for Grey Team early, so I looked over them whilst I was out there.
Ah, speaking of teams…
The Team Mechanic
I am cautiously in favour of this shake up. I’ll hold off judgement until I either see it in action, or learn more about it, but this is definitely a great idea. It stops people blowing themselves to shit whilst they get to grips with there weapons. I admit, it has got to be the funniest thing to see, some guy holding some lit dynamite and then *BOOM* No more dumbass! But hey, it got old around Season 3.
Speaking of things getting old (Seamless segue there :P) I can see that this is an attempt to break the pattern of stagnation that is rife in the entertainment business ATM (I.e Mr. Finches Game show), so props for them on that!
The Grey Team
The Mentor
This teams mentor is none other than MarWIN. Yes, that mad guy that posts stats into the blogosphere. Gotta love the cahones on the crew to take a risk on that guy, for all they know, he could run the team into the ground for the lulz.
Doubt he will though. The guy seems to be taking this pretty damn seriously, which bodes well for the team. My only major worry is that he’ll be to busy stroking his ego on the blogs to keep an eye on his team. No offence.
The Students
Normally, I’d go indepth here, but anyone who gives a damn has already torrented those bios and had a good read, so, in lieu of my normal over view/snarky bio commenting, I’m gonna throw out some predictions.
Robby Goldman: Big, Jocky, a little sexist? Reminding you of anyone? Think back to the first season. He’ll carry the team to the midway point, but then he’ll piss of the wrong chick and go out in flames. I’ve got him pegged as a hero, but we all know how good a judge of character I am
Gonna be a good watch, mark my words!
Terrilynn Boden: Feisty little gal, plenty of strength and plenty of guts! If she gets her hands on a gun, she’ll be a sure fire player! I expect to see her in the endgame, or atleast get close. My only worry is that she does something stupid and gets shot in the face.
Another great watch here! It may sound a tad assholish, but I hope this girl snaps!
Devonte Washington: Hmmmmm, not so sure about this one. He will definitely not mesh well with his mentor, and his draw is rather disappointing. I’ll give him a good chance of getting to midway, but unless he learns to play smart, he’ll be another notch on the belt for a player.
Good bet for some drama. I see some potential for sexual violence in there, but its dim. He’ll be out by midway.
Michael Marshall: Aha! A fellow insomniac! I like this guy already! A creative mind will be rather useful, given the teams lack of a good draw, after all, who needs bullets when you can lay traps? My only trouble is his spacey attitude, which will likely make him not quite there during something important.
Right, time for an overly specific prediction! I’m gonna call him dying by falling into one of his own traps, just before the midway point.
Tristan Hart: Oh yay, a moral guardian. He’ll be the method by which some enterprising player gets there hands on a pistol, unless he throws it away in disgust. He is definitely the weak point in the team.
One of the first deaths. Mark. My. Words.
Q.O.T.W
As y’all know, I’m a stickler for romance, so to all the SOTF fangirls out there; What’s the cutest, hottest or downright funniest to watch pairing in the bud here?
Hit me up in the comments!
So, yeah, Qui morituri te salutant
