in group games/long-term games towards the end of the season?
The first few rounds idc if i'm out. Once I make it past that point, I play to put myself in the winning position and i'll do whatever it takes to win. Then towards the end, (final 5ish) I just stop caring, i'm less cutthroat, and I kinda just play for 2nd and i'd rather lose to someone who would make the best winner of the season (if it's a jury vote like BB, Survivor). It gets so hard for me to backstab someone i've worked with all game at the end, i'd rather lose to them knowing it'll cost my game, than to backstab them and lose against some floater :(.
Also I guess cause 99.9% of the time when I play a cutthroat game all the way to the end, I lose. When I just go with the flow & stop caring I tend to win, but if I don't win i'm not as mad.
