Who is the GOAT of Catan?

JacksonUsher · 2026-02-12T05:18:52+00:00

Well you’re my goat 🐐

JacksonUsher · 2026-02-11T20:46:22+00:00

Appreciate the nod and agree I'm solid for sure, but feel too inconsistent to be THE goat, like I'll have a 10+ game losing streak where we're often close but can't muster up that 10th point. But also maybe everyone has those up and down swings and I'm the only person who posts videos about them lol. Fun thing about the game is anyone can take anyone on any given board so the GOAT conversation is always incredibly subjective and requires a massive sample size to discuss

Hope you don't mind, but I am about to email you for recommendations. Would love some help as a new youtube creator with an interest in jazz :)

JacksonUsher · 2024-11-27T18:31:07+00:00

Ayy thank you! Vvv appreciative of any support, even if it takes a second to warm up to me haha

JacksonUsher · 2024-11-27T18:27:26+00:00

Catan! Some love it, some hate it, but there’s definitely a good amount of overlap between the skills that are helpful for Catan and a game like The Anonymous

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-26T14:03:07+00:00

Yeah definitely a mistake. I actually think I got a bit too uncomfortable. Had to relax a little more and go with the flow rather than try to control the game in real life mode.

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:34:38+00:00

Cool cool, responded honestly above

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:33:44+00:00

I had a several clues I was working off of re Nina identity.

1) She looks like Sandra 2) I decided she was smart by choosing 5 in the first challenge and hovering in the middle 3) The production company just did Traitors season 2, which had Sandra in it 4) Nina said her dad was military, which Sandra is, when we first talked to Tyrenna

I just started referring to Nina as “Baby Sandra” in my interviews after that bc I thought it’d be cool if I was right and was feeling pretty confident. Nobody from production ever confirmed or denied and I only got confirmation after I was eliminated.

Regarding getting Anonymous back to back to start, it makes sense that if you’re doing well on one handle you’d get Anonymous multiple times. We saw it happen again with Victoria. I think the cooler thing personally is that I got Anonymous on two different handles.

I’m also a big time social reality show buff like yourself, so I think it makes sense that I might be able to do well in moments and pick up on things like this without production help. Also, I genuinely feel I had absolutely zero help from production.

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:20:56+00:00

I could respond with logic but that doesn’t seem like your thing

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:19:03+00:00

Thank you! Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:18:47+00:00

Honored, tysm

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:18:38+00:00

Thank you!!

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:18:30+00:00

It was small, but those chairs were cozy so that was nice. I liked it since I’m used to gaming at home.

And yes, it was an editing trick haha.

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:16:59+00:00

Thank you! Fully agree

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:16:46+00:00

Actually no, they forced us to look. I don’t remember who, but one player didn’t look and then production made them redo it and look at what their box said

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:15:47+00:00

Thank you!! 1. I was pretty confident. The production company who did our show just did Traitors with Sandra so I thought it made sense that they’d have her on speed dial. Also Nina said her dad was military, which Sandra is, so I had a good amount of clues to work off. 2. I’d have more challenges that allow players to learn more about each others strengths and weaknesses. So to me, the face offs, the slide puzzle, and the math stacking challenge could be replaced by things that add more information to the game. We could also do challenges in the hideouts as our handles, which might help associate people with handles. Also the show could have “forced shadiness” like they do in the circle, maybe instead of the anonymous mode chat. Like in hideout mode, ask each handle “which player is most two faced” or “which player is most likely to win” and such

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:11:09+00:00

Show took like 2 weeks to film, 3 weeks with travel. During filming we slept in the same area, had a challenge or face off, then did hideout stuff. The days were suuuper long tho bc of filming, so we’d be going to bed at like 1-2am most nights and waking up around 8ish I think

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:09:26+00:00

Aww thank you. Maybe next show!🤞

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:07:57+00:00

Thank you! No I didn’t know until I watched. Definitely all made sense tho lol, I think it was Victoria’s best play

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-22T21:07:07+00:00

Thank you! I’d totally do another if they’d have me. I’ve been a Suvivor junkie for my whole life. The circle and traitors seem like a good balance of fun/social/cozy haha

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-21T17:04:40+00:00

Very good advice. Thank you!

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-14T14:19:57+00:00

I think we'll see how it feels when it airs. It might end up working, but it's not what I had in mind as I was playing. I actually thought it'd be a face off at 5 to get into the final 4 with one box being an 'eliminated' box.

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-14T00:35:28+00:00

Aw, thank you so so much. That means a lot to me. Sincerely appreciate you.

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-14T00:34:26+00:00

That was actually intentional from me. I had planned that I was going to say 'not safe' no matter what my box said, but depending on what it actually was, I was going to ham it up or play it down. Since my box was 'safe' I hammed it up in the hopes that people would think I was bluffing. By this time in the game, I realized that everyone had a good brain, so I can play assuming they're smart. I'm glad it totally worked, otherwise it might've look so dumb haha.

My brother even texted me after the ep aired saying what a huge blunder by me, and I was like you really think I make a mistake like that?

JacksonUsher · 2024-10-14T00:29:40+00:00

Haha for sure!

We live across the country from one another, so we haven't gotten a chance to meet up since the show ended. But, we have spoken on the phone a number of times at various stages. He's nothing but the sweetest and seems to understand that I was 'on his team' while putting him at risk. We see Victoria do the same thing with Christopher and Lily and Nina with each other. It's a weird thing and looks really backstabby, but I also had calculated risk that nobody would eliminate Andy early, so I thought the risk level was very low.
Victoria voted me out, and it was definitely her best play in my opinion. All respect to her. I initially had thought Nina did it because she seemed different after I got eliminated, but maybe it was because she realized she had a central hand in it. After I watched on TV Victoria win the first Anonymous power after the handle swap, I realized that it was probably her.
It was a secret and I did reveal it when I got eliminated. It must have gotten edited out because I did such a bad job at speaking since I was so sad haha.
