So I was a winner in the challenge! I was more excited about the fact that I've been sleep-deprived because of this, and for once, I could SLEEP IN because I don't have to worry about the vote. And yet here I am worried about the vote.
Let's rewind to the challenge though, because I think I executed that pretty well...
This challenge's idea was to make some enemies, and to amp up the drama between people. My goal the whole time was to not accomplish either of those tasks that could be so easily done in a challenge where you're directly attacking someone.
I developed a position in the game where people would rely on me for score updates, the host in me took over and I made a constantly updating scoreboard, and whenever someone asked me for a score update, it would open up a conversation about the challenge to ensure people could trust me to not go after them, and I could see where their heads were at in the game. Also, whenever someone close to me in the standings would attack someone (like Nicole attacking Quanz), I made sure to let that person know who was coming after them with a screenshot, so they would attack each other and leave me off their radars and slide me up in the standings.
Besides the scapegoat ones for Jordan that I think everyone took a part of, I also took part in attacking:
a) Nicole- We do not talk at all, and I figured it would be a valid excuse to attack her, however Lady Luck is my best friend, so right when I attacked her, she logged on (someone probably told her), and attacked me with the 7-point sword, which was my ONLY action against me the whole challenge. Right after she attacked me back, we apologized about doing it to one another (right after I attacked her again), said this could be easily fixed, and promised to not attack each other the rest of the challenge, which we both stuck to. Nicole was someone I saw as unpredictable (along with Jedda, Jermaine, and especially Quanz), so I made it a point to go to each of them and make a deal to not attack each other, so unless someone I liked backstabbed me, almost no one would be after me.
b) Brenda- No one was attacking her and I had to take it into my own hands. We simply do not talk and I'm lucky that she didn't care to participate in the challenge. If her or Nax attacked me, there really wasn't anything I could do to stop it.
c) Fei- Here's where it got strategic. This was at a point where Jedda was attacking Greg to no end, and I pitched the idea to them to have Fei throw the challenge, and put Fei and Greg on the same tribe to have 2 for sure votes on their side, and only needing a 3rd for majority. (Did this all in a chat with the two of them so if they survive I can try to pitch a F3 deal.
) While I was online, this was going PERFECTLY. Fei and Greg would attack Lexi because of association with Brookie, and I would go to Lexi saying I'm annoyed with Fei and want her to lose, and she was so happy that someone would help attack Fei since they don't like each other, so by attacking Fei, Lexi/Brookie would trust me more, and Fei/Greg would trust me more because that was the plan. By the time I left for work, everything was going great.
However, some things happened that I wasn't able to control while I was away:
-Joe got many spam posts, sliding him down from a spot on the orange tribe to the yellow tribe. I did try to warn him about the spam posts.
-Greg kept going after the heads to heal himself enough to the point that Joe replaced him, sliding Greg to the orange tribe, away from Fei.
...Which makes me nervous about the vote. On the yellow tribe, I think Fei could get a majority to vote out Brookie, who has been loyal, but a wild card in the game that I do not want to be associated with. If she keeps causing drama, people will want to drag her to 3rd, and I would probably be taken out by association. It would be WONDERFUL if Fei could get a majority against BK or even Jordan though, I'd prefer them out as I don't talk to them much.
However, on the orange tribe, things look bleak for Greg to me. Animal showed me screencaps showing Lexi, Woods, and people in the "Ricky alliance" all attacking Jedda in the last 10 point sword, probably to purposely pull him down to vote with them and be a solid vote. Which means Nax, Jedda, and probably Brenda wll make majority, and if Jedda and Lexi were attacking Greg in the challenge, and if Lexi helped attack Jedda, I feel like Greg will be the one to go instead of Lexi. =[ I don't want EITHER to go, and really wish my plan with Fei and Greg worked, because now I will probably have a good ally leaving from the orange tribe.
I want Ricky GONE from this game. He is good at talking to people and a good charmer, he even went up to me to say he would try to play a head on me to heal me, which I believed for a little bit, and thought maybe I was all wrong about everything. But then Jedda was attacked by Ricky and everyone associated with him, when Ricky attacked only Jordan the whole challenge. He is the head of the snake, and his minions (Nax, Nicole, Jedda, Brenda, Lexi?, Woods?) will scatter if he is taken out. These ever-changing tribes have given Ricky and his alliance a good hand both TCs so far, I would like someone, ANYONE, from that alliance to go next round since it probably won't happen this round.
That's it for now, thank you for taking the time to read this!
