OK before the animals I am going to respond to what you said...

I can understand that I came off as arrogant at times, in fact it was my goal, but it was a mostly a show. I was worried a lot in the game and wasn't sure if any of the moves I was making were going to work, but I knew the moves I needed to make in order to give myself the best chance to win the game. So in order for me to get those moves done I tried to play it up like i was 100% sure that what I was saying was right.

The way I looked at it: if I gave any hint on how worried I was about my moves people would see through it and realize the move may not be best for them. If I could give off a sense of certainty that what I was doing was the best move it would rub off on the people I was telling it to and they would feel like it was in their best interest and I still believe it was because I came off as arrogant and so sure of myself that a lot of the moves I made of persuading people to work with me when I needed were accomplished.

Take when we voted out Tommy- Eddie wanted Lincoln at first but for my game that was AWFUL, I was already working very closely with him. My goal was to be so sure of my opinion on Lincoln so much, act like that opinion was so obvious if you didn't understand it you weren't playing right, that everyone would agree and want to keep him thinking it was in their own best interest. Whether it was in others best interest or not I can't say, but I needed to make sure enough people believed it was to help myself in the game, and to do that I needed to act like I KNEW it was the only right move.
