What is a good player ?
Someone who can get into top 20 , someone who can be ranked low and fight off a tribe , someone who lasts years on a world , a good diplomat /manipulator , a good attacker , a selfless tribemember ?
There are many definitions of a good player and twice as many characteristics that form them.
There is no singular answer to this question , it's interesting to read peoples opinions , but I think if you are looking to see what makes you a good player , look at yourself first , identify your strengths from characteristics people list , and build on them.
Learn from others but maximise your own potential from your own qualities.
For example some people are great at maths and use that , others are great at people skills , others have hyper activity , whatever your strengths build on them not to say ignore the others ... but not one thing makes a great player , they come in many forms.
To me it would be someone who is skilled , honourable amongst tribe members , fun to play with , shares knowledge , are helpful , charasmatic and plays the game to have fun but are committed to their tribe.
