::pregame interview - matt::

1. What is your strategy going into this game? Is there anything that will make you change your strategy?

My strategy going into the game is to work as hard as I possibly can in order to get further in the game. If it means forming coalitions, I will do so. If it means working alone and catsing suspicion upon myself, I will do so. If it means having to go against my morals and lie, then I will do so as well. It's a game, and I intend to treat it as such. My strategy will change if I feel it necessary. It is a volataile equilibrium between being suspected and being ruled out as a suspect, and I need to walk the line as closely as I can.

2. What do you expect to see happen in the game? Do you expect any twists or intense challenges?

I expect many twists and turns as we play. The more intense and comprehensive, the better. I came out here to be mentally pushed to the limit, and I'm ready.

3. Realistically, what place do you see yourself leaving the game? What reasons do you have for this speculation?

Realistically, I'd say perhaps the third or fourth player executed. It could easily be earlier, but I would hope to at least survive a little longer. I am far too trusting, and if the Cybermole is someone that I really have a lot of faith in, then I could quite possibly go out very early.

4. Are you worried about other people's sleuthing ability? Do you feel that you won't be able to catch on as quickly as the others?

Yes, it is a concern of mine, I will admit. I think I am fairly perceptive and have a good grasp of things, but you never know what to expect. I know the others must be intelligent people and I am prepared to face a strenuous challenge in my opponents.

5. What type of people might you look towards for a coalition? Will you try to form a coalition? Why?

I would form a coalition with the people who I seem to trust and value the most as friends. However, the people outcasted from the majority are also good potential allies, and I will keep myself scouting for them as well.

6. Will the 'real money' aspect of the game affect you? Will it cause you to try harder at the challenges instead of sabotaging to gain suspicion?

Since I have elected not to play for the real money, no. In fact, I can be more cavalier with the pot, since it has no bearing on me; so in a way, it may be to my advantage.

7. Would you insult your best friend in the game? Would you give up a plentiful pot that required everyone's cooperation?

Only if it was for a challenge, and I would apologize profusely afterwards. Concerning the pot, for an exemption, yes.

8. Will it bother you for people to suspect you? What if you are treated badly because people suspect you? How will you handle insults coming at you (bearing in mind these questions)?

I would not be bothered to be suspected, it is to my advantage for people to think I am the Cybermole when I am not. If I am treated badly, so be it, but I can hold my own. I know myself enough to not value harsh judgments passed on me by strangers. I have a temper, so the insults hurled at me will come back tenfold, if necessary. However, if it best befits my strategy, I will hold my tongue when I need to.

9. Are you the cybermole?

Always.
