Why do you think that you'll win Survivor: Kiribati?: I don't know that I WILL win it... but if I do, I'd hope that it would be through playing an honest, hard game (as opposed to a strictly strategic game).
What would you do to win this game? Is there anything you wouldn't do?: To win this game...I would only play within the barriers in which my actions would not offend anyone (this is a game; its not worth hurting someone to win). I would never sell-out a friend of mine...its just not my style.
What means more to you honesty or strategy?:
Honesty...b/c I believe a main part of this game is ethics. And its important to me that someone who plays ethically wins it. You can still play strategically and be honest about it, however.
Is there anything that you're affraid of coming into the game?: I'm afraid that the two days at the end of the month in which i won't be able to come on-line will screw me over (yeah, that works).
