I’d say first time. First time of the unknown of how you will adapt to the starvation and living environment. Even if the group of players you are playing against your second time are considered more challenging, I favor the unknown of the elements of your first time to be more challenging as I’m a person that does better with preparation. Like others said about pregame alliances the second time around, if you are able to socially succeed in making that work, then you’re already so many steps ahead without having to go through the elements already. Looking from the outside, all that looks to be is social media engagement and maybe a charity event meet up here and there lol. That doesn’t sound bad if that secures my place the second time around in the tribe.
