Well for one, I'm not the easiest to approach. I think it would be a question better answered by the people actually intimidated by me because I can't tell you what makes them afraid of me. If I had to guess though, it's a combination of my talent in the survivor game itself (which is what our community is founded on), the fact that I often do mini-roasts on people, but most importantly, my enigmatic aura. The fact that I am sure of myself/confident plays a role too.
Despite that, I would always manage to find new allies to work with, have secret connections that would serve as my outs once my apparent strategic options were depleted, and always position myself in such a way where getting rid of me was bad for everybody else's games. I'd also manipulate HoHs into doing things that were good for my game. Most notably, getting shinny to nominate one of his closest allies under the belief that they were just being pawned. I ended up sending that ally home on that day.
In that game, I've perfected the art of 'being untouchable', using nothing but my social and strategic abilities.
Because I don't remember my 2012-2014 games well enough, I will omit them.
A game I remember playing which I think I did fantastic in was one of evolpz's BBs. Players I remember from the game are: HardCarry, Cosmostylin, Annajane, Shinnyhoopa, Soda, CJN, and FDP.
The way I played this game was a bit special because from final 20ish (start of game) till final 4, I did not say a single word in the public chat. Which meant I didn't participate in the challenges unless they were whisper based. Needless to say, I didn't win a single comp until final 4.
But I was also thrown a bunch of unusual obstacles. For instance, HardCarry just wanted to see my physical prowess and would nominate me to force me to try in veto. Much to his disappointment, I did not participate and got saved anyway.
Cosmo would do nothing but try and sabotage my game, just to troll me. At every opportunity he would try to obliterate my strategic options (taking out shinny and NovaTerra for instance) and force me into working with him as my only path moving forward. HardCarry would also aid Cosmo in sabotaging me.
Even though I was working with Soda, he would constantly call me out in public about how I'm throwing challenges. "Just a reminder that High has been throwing all the challenges and is still in the game!" stfu man!!!
