Name: Light Switch

Object: A Standard Light Switch

Gender: Male

Favourite Ice Cream: Mint Choc Chip

Personality: Light Switch has changed since his last attempt playing, he is now far less confident and his quick-wittedness is long gone. Light Switch is an extreme paranoiac, overthinking every detail and decision. He believes everyone is out to get him, although this usually isn't the case. This keeps him on his toes and so he is constantly aware of his actions and the actions of others.

Something he didn't know about himself when he initially signed up is that he is actually quite athletic, despite not having much brute strength behind him, he is quick on his feet and an incredible puzzle-solver, able to come up with solutions to most problems very easily, although his confidence in these solutions will always be somewhat low.

Light Switch's biggest flaw when inside of a competitive environment is his trust issues. After the events of his previous season Light Switch finds it hard to place concrete trust in anybody, despite needing to trust people in order to advance further in the game. Light Switch still enjoys working with others, but as previously stated, would rather not be put into any kind of leadership position, as the pressure and status make him extremely paranoid.

Why I Want To Play Again: In my life I have never really had any kind of camp success. I have been in the finales of two camps, once as a debuter and once when I was rigged to get to the end. The most challenge entries that I have ever created for a camp season in my life is six. I want to know what it is like to get to the end of a competition from the very beginning. To be there for the whole season and earn my spot.

In CTC 5 after I debuted, I was handed the opportunity to get all the way to the final three. But I didn't want to be a floater. I wanted to know that I earned the right to get that far, I wanted to win challenges, make moves and show that I was deserving of my place in the game. I put together an alliance of three, I promised them that my only goal was to make it to third place, at which point I would accept elimination and let them be the final two. I meant what I said, all I wanted was to get to that point and prove to myself that I had earned it.

Working together, using our few Tokens and vote manipulation strategies we were able to take out all but one member of the majority alliance. At this point there were only five players left standing in the competition, and my closest ally had decided to blindside me. Giving away the majority we had spent five weeks trying to wittle down, giving it back to the very player that we had been trying to steal it from. I was heartbroken. I had worked so hard in order to keep my allies safe. If I had wanted to I could have gone solo. Made an immunity run all the way to the end, but I didn't because I cared about the people I was working with and I wanted to see them succeed. In the round I was eliminated in, I decided to sacrifice my challenge performance. I gave most of my ideas away to my ally so that he could win immunity instead. I wanted to prove my loyalty to my friend and give him a guaranteed spot in the final four. After throwing my challenge for him, he eliminated me. After five consecutive individual immunities, I let my guard down to prove my trust to somebody and they instantly rejected it because they could not trust me, despite my best efforts, despite everything that I had done to prove that I wanted them to succeed.

The player that he decided to keep in instead of me ended up winning the season. I was not a threat to win in my season, I was just good at challenges. I was doing everything I could in my game to help this player get to the finals and they completely rejected that in order to eliminate a "threat". Not only that, but he only got this idea due to influence from an already eliminated player giving him false information regarding the decisions of the jury. Following my elimination my alliance fell apart and the player that got me out was eliminated the round following. My only remaining ally did manage to get to the finals, where I campaigned heavily for his victory, but he unfortunately fell short by just a single jury vote.

I sacrificed so much for CTC 5, physically and emotionally. All for it to end like that. I never intended to win CTC 5. Because I was told I couldn't do it and because I knew I couldn't do it. I was a debuter. But I am currently tied as the worst finishing CTC debuter ever, the only difference is that the other fifth place debuter also won a season. I want to know what it feels like to make it far and to feel like I actually deserve a place in the final five if I get there. I don't intend to win this season. I don't care about winning. Winning would be nice but it is NOT my goal. I just want to know what it feels like to get to the end, from start to finish. That is all I want from this experience. In my entire CTC career, I have not managed to survive a single elimination without having immunity, a pathetic statistic which I also want to redeem myself from.

Even though I am honestly terrified of going through this again, I will be so unbelievably happy if I could pull off my goal. Despite it just being a silly object camp, it means so much more to me than that. For me it is not about "doing well in an object camp". It is about knowing that if I put in every last ounce of effort that I can, if I want it and fight for it enough, that I can actually do it. This is about proving something to myself. I do not want everyone to think I'm a bloodthirsty player. I mean it when I say I want to play a clean, honest game. As much as I can. I don't enjoy the feeling of eliminating people. When I saw how sad some of my friends got over CTC 5 it upset me so much. I do not want to do that again. Nobody deserves to go through that. I understand that it is part of the game but it is definitely not something I am looking forward to. I just want to be proud of myself for how I play, and not ashamed of the things I did, like last time.

Why I Deserve To Play Again: Placing in the top five, this makes me part of the CTC alumni, which makes me a fitting candidate for the All-Star season, in my mind. Alongside this, out of the six challenges that I competed in, I won five of them and placed second in the other, making me statistically the most successful challenge competitor in the history of the game. I also conducted the very first Token stalemate in the game's history. Although I regret the methods I used, I was able to manipulate a player into voting incorrectly and caused a 3 - 2 - 1 elimination, where I managed to vote out the biggest threat of the season. Despite it not working out, I also managed to take a three person minority alliance throughout the entire merge and left it as a majority alliance in the final five. I feel like I am at least somewhat deserving of the opportunity to play again, especially because I was a debuter and haven't had the chance to play from the start (apart from Gardening Hose but we don't talk about that...)

As I previously stated, I am not proud of a lot of the things I did, I am just using them as proof that I understand the game and am worthy of another opportunity. If I get into CTC I would absolutely adore the chance to clear my reputation, I don't want people to hate the way I play and I don't want to hate the way I play either. I want to play a friendly, supportive game and do my best to be a deserving and likeable player rather than a bloodthirsty and cut-throat one.

Overall, despite the incredibley demotivating fear that I will be an immediate target and ultimately an early boot I love CTC and think it is an incredible camp and I want to give it another shot and hopefully get rid of some of the scars that CTC 5 has left me with and replace them with memories of what I hope will be a fantastic season.
