===Roaching=== Roaching is a play-style in which the player avoids combat as much as possible. Instead, they focus solely on crafting armor and food throughout the game, and they immediately run away from any other players/animals. By late-game, the player has a completed armor build and an inventory full of food. However, because they avoided fighting the entire game, their mastery is much lower than the other survivors'. In most cases, this strategy is very effective for placing highly, but the "roach" cannot kill their final opponent because of their low mastery. In short, roaching is a method to gain Rank Points by aiming for 2nd place, instead of aiming to win. Characters commonly associated with roaching include [[Alex]] and [[Hart]], because of their Stealth and Peace Zone skills respectively. Roaching is also associated with the aptitude [[Aptitudes|Ambush]]. However, roaching is defined primarily by the player's intent to avoid combat as much as possible, not the character/aptitude used. This term is often used negatively to describe players with lower end-game mastery, who survive longer than stronger opponents because they avoided fighting to conserve food. However, there is a distinction between players who fell behind in mastery vs. players who never intended to build up mastery in the first place.
