Board Thread:Season 5 - Switzerland/@comment-6987998-20130622131505

Well, I'm not very good with words, so I'll try to be quick and clear as possible.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in this season and in one way or another, helped me get here.

Maybe I should mention that I deserve your vote because I'm sitting here and you on the jury, but then the other two also deserve some credit because they have have managed to get this far.

I started the game as a complete unknown to everyone. Had never appeared here before, and had never talked to anyone. Also don't think pre-game alliances are fair, so I decided to just be me and go with me allying who appeared later. In the first challenge, realizing that most of original Ticino was inactive, I joined with Mark and tried to bring to our side Julie, but she was the most inactive of all and eventually eliminated. Then there was a series of events that prevented us from being ulong-ed.

When it came to switch, Max asked me if I wanted to join him and Ken, and take Mark with me, so we would be four of us and anyone else he'd call (Maxwell or Jino, if I'm not mistaken). Then the Ticino started gaining immunities and stayed quiet.

Shortly before the merger, Mark told me that Skandi was with him, I said okay. So when it came to merger, Max told me that the plan was eliminate Skandi and Lucy, and then take the four Lucerne, which to me made no sense, because if the goal was to take one of the four, why not do it once? So I found myself with a dilemma: as loyalty is one of the things I value most, I don't know whether to follow Max's plan or go to the "other side." How I would have to talk to Mark about it and thought he would not want to vote for Skandi (now I'm not so sure), and adding to this the fact that Jino told me that Max and Ken were unreliable, I decided to get another plane and eliminate Max. And that was my big mistake in the game.

When the time came, MY plan was to simply join the two Ticino (Mark and I), two Glarus (Skandi and Lucy) and two Lucerne (Jino and Matt), and we would have the majority and ready. I discussed with the Skandi about it because he is a megalomaniac and wanted get all nine (minus Max and Ken) and split the vote. As I was sick and needed to sleep and I thought he had understood and accepted my plan, I asked him to tell to the others and he said okay. The other day, when I was talking to Matt to vote for Max, he said Skandi had spoken with him to vote for Ken and he had already voted. So I decided to stay a bit under the radar, because I wouldn't get tired for something and someone come and decide things for themselves.

Then came Ken's elimination, it was obvious by then, and we decided that the four Lucerne would be very dangerous if they stay together and caught John (who was alone until then) and decided to take us.

One of my main criteria to vote for someone was if they had spoken to me during the game or not, and in the day of Wojtek's elimination, he came to me. Honestly, if I were to choose, I would have voted that moment at Cal, only by this criterion, but everyone had already decided to vote for him and there was nothing I could do.

Then came the fateful case of Jino and Matt, and then Cal came wanting to join me to vote Skandi. I told him I would see what they could do, because I always preferred to work with the possibilities safer, then he came and said he had voted for John accidentally. At the time I thought "Really? Then fuck you" because I haven't seen that if I could convince John and Mark to vote for Skandi, he would be out because John would have 1 vote, 2 votes Cal and 3 votes Skandi. Then I just followed the plan to vote the last Lucerne.

When Cal was eliminated, I sent a message to Mark and John saying that I wanted to talk to them. It was about getting together to eliminate Skandi because I was tired of being seen as a sheep that I wasn't. As they were not on at the time, I waited until the next day to talk. When I joined the other day, Mark said he had a plan, and when he said he wanted to vote Skandi I said had also thought that. So as much he swears that was his plan, I can guarantee I have also been thinking it since before disposal Cal.

Skandi is gone, I learned that Mark was trying to voted me, so I decided it was time to put loyalty aside (after all, the person I was loyal, was not loyal to me). I called Lucy and John to eliminate Mark if he doesn't win immunity. But the first time I saw that little game of the last challenge, I knew I wouldn't have chances to win, and would be out. When the results came out, my last hope was to convince Lucy to vote with me in John, which (thank God) worked and now I'm here.

Anyway, I think it was a little bigger than I expected, but I just wanted to make a few things clear. I don't know how it was with the others, but whenever we had to decide something, Skandi came to me (even if not follow what I suggested). I just want everyone to know that I'm not that sheep who think, and that my only mistake was trying to be loyal to others.

I hope I've managed to make me understand and pass on what I wanted and I'll be happy to answer your questions. And once again, thanks for everything.
