Board Thread:Season 25 - Rome/@comment-24114312-20150407121316

Hi guys! I’ve been out of the game for like ages now and I’ve had time to get over initial bitterness, I’m just kinda left with a lot of questions about your guys’ games and who to vote. I just wanna say that I have no bitterness about the game and my vote is 100% up in the air right now, I have no inclination to vote for or against any of you [:.

Firstly I’ll address Brit. I honestly like you as a person but I don’t know what you did in the game apart from align well and then ride coattails. Alongside the fact that immediately after I was voted out you sent me a PM saying ‘LOL nice try’ (mocking me lmao) I question how much you actually wanted to win because anyone would know that mocking someone going off to jury is kinda stupid (even though all the Final 3 did it to almost everyone), and you've even admitted to not caring that much in your speech. Honestly if you flipped at F5 and voted off Dom, then in F4 voted off Grace you would have my vote and probably many other’s, because you would’ve taken some initiative, made a move at the right time and proven you weren’t just there to ride coattails — but you didn’t. I just wanna be clear that if I do vote you it won’t be for you, just against Domonique and Ricky.

Next, Ricky. Rickyyyyyyyy I really liked you (notice the past tense ;) ) but I’ve been hearing that you kinda shit-talked me after I was voted out? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong because ultimately I’m 11th and you’re in the Final 3 but to me it seems idiotic to call a juror an idiot in front of all their friends immediately after they’ve just been voted off. Plus I think I was one of the only people in jury to not dislike you simply because of your personality, but after finding that out I mean idk, I guess I’m kinda with everyone now in disliking it. Another qualm I have with voting you is that you were voted off, and if you can’t even keep yourself in the game for the whole time then I can’t see an argument as to why you should win. The only reason I think I would vote you is because you actually got to know me, you dominated physically and generally seem like an alright person (apart from when you mock me getting voted off lol).

And finally Domonique! At first glance you deserve to win, but I have so many issues with voting you. Firstly, you spent no effort talking to or getting to know anyone that you didn’t need to. I’ve not only seen this from personal experience, but from every juror that you didn’t need to further your game, you brushed off as insignificant and refused to speak to. And before you say it’s a two way street, I guarantee to you it wasn’t, since I initiated ALL of our conversations and when you replied to them you were extremely bland. Every single other person I spoke to wasn’t like this, and I wanna vote for someone I actually like compared to someone who didn’t even care about talking to me, so saying you were 1/3 social is honestly a joke to me. Furthermore I’ve heard that you were kind of a bitch to some of the jurors and I don’t know if I wanna vote for that (even though I’m probably the bitchiest person in the cast, but still I'm on the jury and it's my choice what I do with my vote lol). On the other hand, you were strategically great (even though I don’t know how you knew to be, a lot of your moves worked but you really should’ve had no idea they were even gonna happen) and I respect a strategic game.

Like I said, I’m really torn so I just wanna ask you guys a few questions [: (also Ricky my internet sucks rn so can you type it and not make a video, it legit won’t even load 2 seconds of the videos for me).

• Do you think that you guys had a lot of luck to get here (for example; Brit would’ve gone home in Koror’s place had Josh not voted early accidentally; Ricky’s RI judges were bias against Tyler F (I’m screaming that’s a joke Ricky we all know they weren’t); Dom survived because of luck at the auction)? • Brit: Why didn’t you make any move to try and further yourself? • Ricky: Why should I vote you even after you were voted off and your alliance has only survived based on your failures (since you know, you received an idol)? • Dom: Why should I vote you even though you made no attempt to get to know me? Also, why vote me lmao (everyone said you were the vote against me and don’t kiss my ass in this whatsoever, I’m just wondering since idek why)? Finally, how did you know to make those moves — I want a long answer for this one because saying ‘everyone was shady’ does not cut it?

Now onto another juror here, Nuno. I read your speech and it was eloquently written, I loved it but hey I just love anything written about me, so thanks for dedicating a lot of it to me <3!

Anyway, I don't consider myself a 'strategic queen' this season, since it's clear that I wasn't. But you've already written enough about me that I guess I'll just talk about you for a bit.

The fact that you can write that ALL about faulting my game without looking deep into yours is honestly, honestly laughable. Don't you realise that almost everyone on Ponderosa was sick of you? Even pre-merge, there were plans to take you out. You pissed off so many people that you almost went multiple times pre-merge, including the Tyler F vote. It wasn't my plan to vote off Tyler F, it was Katie's. In all reality, I wanted you gone, and for anyone who's wondering, here is a full rundown of the Tyler F vote:

• Mystery Inc 2.0 is set up ages before, runs the favourites tribe.

• Katie/Ivan say they're fine to vote out Dennis if I can get others on board. Nuno/Sora/Hanne all agree.

• Tyler F comes online with his HATRED of Katie and flips Nuno's/Hanne's viewpoint.

• At this point, if Tyler F had agreed to vote Dennis everyone on the favourites would be happy, we'd be unified and it'd all be fine, the Mystery Inc alliance would stay intact.

• Sora votes Dennis pre-Skype call.

• The Skype call happens, and I explain that if Dennis goes, no one is upset (which is true), if Katie goes then Dennis is upset he gets votes, and Ivan is upset, which means that 2 potential people would flip going into a swap. Dennis = 0/7 people mad, Katie = 2/7 people mad. Basic maths, right?

• No.

• Nuno/Tyler dictate our alliance once again (by the way, Sora/Hanne/me had all planned to 'Ozzy and James' you when we merged, so even the alliance didn't really like you guys).

• I flip bc yolo + they were annoying.

• The flip allows me to make it further in the swap since I use the argument that all the faves hate me etc etc, and without that flip I honestly don't think I would've merged.

And Nuno, you also fail to see that you NEED this speech to be relevant, because your gameplay didn't do it this time. You need to have this bitter rampage, like many others do, because I guarantee to you that I fucked over our whole alliance, not just you (do I own up to that, yes lol) but you don't see other people bitching like this. And had the idol plan gone well (I did say to multiple people we should throw off votes but it never happened rip), I honestly think you'd still be sitting on jury but I might be in FTC, because honestly Nuno you stood no shot of making it simply because everyone disliked you, and that was your crappy social play that caused that, not me. And unlike you, I don't need a bitchy jury speech to stay relevant because this over the top gameplay I love and proudly own up to is what does that for me. Yes, my gameplay, not bitter jury speech. Who else can say they voted off the whole of their original tribe in their first season hm? Not you. Who else can say they were voted off by only 1 vote in an 11 person tribe, being one of the best TCs the ORG's had hm? Not you. Who else can say they've been voted off 2 times, in votes where 4 people have received votes (3-1-1-1 in Indo, 1-0-0-0 in Rome) hm? Not you. Anyway, I know I'll get shit and all of the Tyler F/Hanne/Nuno warriors will hate me for my gameplay and this speech too, but honestly they need to get over themselves just as much as Nuno does. It's an online game, and I played this one to have fun. I enjoyed blindsiding people in Indo, and I looked forward to it in Rome (there could've been more but yikes people voted early and it didn't work out) and it was fun to do [:. I'm fine with how I played, I honestly didn't need to fault others gameplay until shit was talked but I guess that's just me lol.

Good luck, congrats on making it this far guys and hopefully the best person will win!
