Board Thread:Season 47 - Heroes vs. Villains II/@comment-24064520-20180611221442

Hello everyone, first of all I would like to thank Blaine, Charley, Eddie, Emma, Heather & Jace personally for casting and allowing me to come back to another season of the game. I won’t be here if it didn’t start from you guys. Next, I would love to thank every single player whether it’s directly or indirectly playing with me. Jurors or not. I’m grateful that I’m able to know and play with such great players in this amazing Heroes vs Villains season.

Moving on, it’s my time to plea my games to the jurors, this would be quite long and lengthy speech because I want to highlight every single detail about my game.

PRE-MERGE

Coming into this season of returnees I know once again that I need to find people who are reliable to talk to and moving forward with them. I believed that relationship is the only thing that will keep me further in this game. I instantly found myself clicked with Declan and Alexandra on the first few days of the game. From there, when I knew I can relied on them I start going around and personally made deal with almost every single person in Heroes. It worked perfectly for the first tribal and then the thunder hits on the second one! At this point, I was trying to secure the alliance with Ali, Declan & later David was added because of his close relationship with Ali. I am definitely fine with that, that means an extra vote. Not long before the chat was made, I found out that Ali & David made a double alliance with Sora & Claire which is not OKAY for me. I was okay to get him out but not for Declan. He told me he won’t. I don’t want to take the risk and just go with the majority. We planned to blindside one of them but it didn’t work as Roisin gave out her idol to David. At that time, I’m scared if my relationship with three of them are pretty much doomed, but that’s not the case. They need my votes since they are in the bottom and I’m pretty much at the good spot with the majority who votes David. I regain the relationship back while maintaining my position in the majority. Because of that, no one would’ve thought I would go back to them and later this actually brings benefit to my game.

SWAP happened! I was placed in the new tribe named Maui. Us heroes are in the majority and that’s the good thing about it and I’m pretty close with Rob&John and David. If it us going to the first swap tribal, I believed I will be the one to knot them back up and vote together. But that’s not the case, our first tribal was a joint tribal with Pele. Reunited with Ali & Declan. People are keen to get Roisin out at this time as she’s everyone target, but not for me. She helped my alliance and if we go further in this game, she would be our protection and shield moving forward. The two tribes are divided, they want to split the votes but little do they know Me, Ali, Declan, David are still working together and so does Roisin. I still have options during this time, whether to go with them or with the original plan. I decided to stick with the alliance because I want to make them sure that I’m with them and to really make sure that they will trust me so I had to go with Marie thus I know the consequences that will happen when I go back to the Maui tribe. I will have 4 people whom I flipped and only have David with me. I knew I had to recover my relationship back. And it worked! as we went to the tribal right after that I knew it was going to be either me or David and David were already planned to blindside and throw my votes. I managed to get him before he got me because of my close relationship with Nick. Tribal again, this time wasn’t that hard because Danielle is the one on the outside.

On Pele, Reunited with Declan, Sora, Claire and Evan. I couldn’t ask for more, they are the perfect choices for me. During my time here, most of the time I was trying to confirm the relationship with them and basically make the rope tighter by allowing them to think I’m with them. It was either Mackie or Tate. Everyone wants Tate out and this is my time to make some connection with Mackie. We got along well tbh. I feel that our conversation is very genuine. Again, another tribal. I believed I was indirectly made the decision of getting John out, I planted the seed and triggered them about how he is playing a utr game and everyone feels the same. It worked perfectly with a unanimous vote.

MERGE!

I believed going into the merge, I’m still in the middle position with no alliances set up. I feel like I have some sorts of connection with every single person in the tribe except Jordan since we’ve never been in tribe together. During Roisin’s tribal, I feel like her protection is turning out to be dangerous for my game as if I go with her, I will be in minority every single time because of her actions; so that’s not good for me and later the majority did want to take her out, perfect! I exposed her chats to make the idea of getting her out more stronger and later the votes turned out to be almost unanimous.

During Jordan votes, he was outstation. We couldn’t talk that much and that’s the only thing I regret about for not talking to him sooner. It was a very unfortunate case but I don’t want to get the blood on my hands by getting my own target. But by then, I already talked to Declan, Ali, Mackie & Nick about how Evan is controlling the game. It ends there. It shouldn’t be leaked and thank god it wasn’t. Next Tribal, I talked to each of them personally and Nick could get Audrey on board and that’s 6. Out of the blue, Rob suggested Evan to me. I was surprised because I thought he was close with Evan. (Basically from Roisin’s pre-made and I want to take precaution by not talking to them). That’s great! If anything happened, Rob will take the fall. I let him to do the work after by acting surprised and let him control the votes until the deadline. By then, I did the talking with Sora & Claire to make sure they don’t know about this and being nice to them bcs I still love to work with them moving forward.

After the Evan’s votes, I thought it’s going to be hard to recover my relationship with Sora and Claire back, but it was quite easy as they believed it’s not me who initiated it. During Mackie votes, I go back to the Heroes because I want them to genuinely think that I’m still with them. **Disclaimer, if you think I flipped a lot you are wrong because at this point I only have one solid loyalty and that’s towards Ali & Declan. The heroes wanted to do Audrey and the other side wanted to do Ali, but little do we know, there’s a 4 people who suddenly willing to vote Mackie out. I only knew it an hour before the deadline and the 4 didn’t tell me because they thought my relationship with Mackie is quite closed. I knew the plan. I don’t want write Mackie’s name down nor Ali’s. I could shift the vote by voting Ali and make it a tie. But looking ahead, it’s not good for my game because I will upset many people instead of those 3 who voted Ali. I also knew Mackie made a deal with other people and he threw my names for the Evan’s vote. I need to get him out sooner or later and it works fine both ways since I would still have the other 7.

Claire’s name came up. I feel like it’s too soon but since we are moving fast and if Claire still on her own pace, she will make it without a doubt to the ftc. That’s why I had to vote her out. I didn’t do much at this time, what I did was just to make sure everyone’s intact with the plan. Next during Alexandra’s tribal, ROB FUCKING FLIPPED. I couldn’t trust him. I purposely acted upon him to make he feel that I really treasure the relationship which later I came back to him to reconcile. It worked as he didn’t gun for me and he wouldn’t expect me to go after him. I approached Nick first and then Audrey about working together with my closest partner Declan and we sealed the deal. Vote Rob out as our first official starts. Sora made a confession about him having the idol and he won the immunity. We didn’t believe him as why he’d use it on someone else whilst he could use it later. We didn’t buy it at all and I believed all of us did making sure that each of us will vote Lexi as the way we planned. It worked, during this time our relationship was put in test and everyone do contribute in doing so.

At the Final 5, I came to Nick about who is his ideal F3, and ofc it will include Audrey so I purposely mentioned him about Declan which later he actually turned on my back and talk to Declan about it bcs he won the immunity. Declan confessed to me about writing down my name an hour before. All of them already voted and only leave me and Sora who didn’t vote yet. I told Sora and he said he will use his idol on me. I owe a lot to Sora about this. He deserves all the credits for doing so, but I also did some sad farewell etc to make sure there’s no surprise things incur. Audrey went home and it’s better than me going. Sora could have just leave it be and leave me alone but he used it on me and I believe it was affected from the bond we made since the beginning. Final 4, I worked hard for the immunity but not good enough, it fell short. This time also, I talked to Declan as to recover our relationship back, it felt genuine. But I couldn’t trust him no more after he voted me out, Plus he’s the biggest threat out of the three left. I had to get him out. Also he’s my closest ally, we made several bonds with the same people and if we both go to the ftc together, he will definitely overshadow me.

In conclusion, I believed that my game has centred a lot in the relationship aspects. I dwell on the connection to other people since the very beginning. It was a risky move to play when people are talking to each other but I managed to preserved my loyalty to the one I said so and still maintain with the others; with the aftermath talking. I knew how to use the nice, angry and relax cards when it’s due. I know which votes are going to go each tribal except for Ali. I incorporated strategic side of me too with the movement of me from one side to another, when is the right time to do so and how it will affect me. In fact, I went to the tribal council almost every single time during pre-merge and I managed to get out from it though I’m in the trouble after the Marie’s votes. Never got any votes in the Merge till the late merge; I drew the spotlight away from me and transfer it to the person I want to go for. I won the immunity once, came close in several immunity challenges. Lastly, I believed I did outwit, outplay and outlast the other finalist. Thank you for reading this long ass essay and I hope this will give you a new outlook of my game to you, jurors.
