Board Thread:Season 12 - All-Stars/@comment-13794814-20140216144930

 Alrite guys… You fulfilled 1/3 of the task… You outlasted 19 Allstars as well as Johan-Amir and Ali… Not too bad of a job… But let’s face it… It means nothing if you now don’t win it in the end. If you go first or come in second in a survivor season… Both means you are a loser…

 Well… You all got to know me to a certain level and believe it or not… I had even fun talking to some of you and maybe, just maybe I will try to talk to you again after the season is over… In the rites of passage you were all mentioning that you knew that I have a different view and approach to the game than most others. Therefore I hoped someone wanted my vote. You should have known what I hoped to hear and what I appreciate. I give you a hint…I don’t care about your underdog stories, your crying about adversary and I don’t wanna know how much it would mean for you in your life to have accomplished something as serious as winning an ORG. Therefore after these speeches my vote is far more open than I thought before going into FTC.

 You all told us a nice little story of how the game went and what you claim you have done. This was more or less interesting to read and told what you were thinking in the certain situations you were in. What I am far more interested in is… Where did you do something that not only advanced you one vote in the game… We are an Allstar season… So I want to vote for a strong winner… A winner that truly represents Allstar qualities… So… At which point or with which actions did you qualify yourself as not only a member of a final tribal council, but what makes you not only a winner, but the winner among the best players in the ORG? What makes you the best player ever? Please answer this in short…

 Lloyd… First of all I want to clear things up… You never told me that you were voting for me… At least not before the votes were read… So please don’t lie about that… We talked late in the game and not too much, but thanks to me you even understood the dynamics within your own alliance. You are welcome for learning from me. I told at final 7 that you had no chance in winning this game if you don’t turn it around… And here you are and receive bad criticism from the jury. I told you you’ll go down with zero votes, but you decided to stick to Gerda no matter what instead of playing for the win. If you didn’t know what was played, it just makes you a naïve and bad player… But since you claim you understood what was going on and decided to lose on purpose, I want you to answer the following two questions: 1. Looking back at the developments… Would you make the same call again? And 2. Would you have switched it up at Final 7, if Gerda was a guy?

 Gerda… We talked quite a lot in this game and I am a little sad that you were too intimidated to dare and play further with me. But as I said earlier for my vote I don’t care about the person Gerda… I care about the player Gerda… And if I just look at the involvement into moves and schemes that were running this season I think your resume is slightly bigger than Ben’s and far bigger than Lloyd’s. You stepped up your game from being just a nice girl into a person that was involved in strategizing, lying, etc.. But this is only one side of the medal. If you step up your game you need to do it whole heartedly… You need to do it consistently… You can’t be the nice girl and the backstabbing bitch at the same time… I can’t let you get away with it just because you are a girl, since to win this game you need to OWN moves. In your girly ways you cared more about being seen as the nice person that everyone in the ORG has to love and adore over winning this game. And therefore within all your moves I can’t see a pure player that is dedicated to win. You have the potential to be a big time winner maybe the biggest of everyone competing in this season… But due to not being able to separate the perception of you and relations outside of the game from the game as such, you do not use your potential. And that makes me sad! If you played consistently, I would have had no choice but to vote for you. At the moment I am unsure. Therefore I would like to get some answers on the following questions.

 1. What is it mainly that hindered you in making the rationally right decision and go for the emotionally right in a game that is about numbers?

 2. Is the sentence “It was purely strategic…” only a lie to help yourself get passed bad feelings about voting someone of or is it only a thing you say to calm down the voted of jury member and why didn’t you stick to that principle any more at final 5?

 3. In case you go into a Final 2 against everyone in jury. Do you believe you could have beaten anyone?

 Ben… I tried to pick you up from the outs… From our talks I know what you were thinking about the game and I appreciated your rational approach. Talking about your game in the jury I found out that several people think they were so and so close to you… Good job in keeping several options open. Still your game was quite an easy one and until you voted for me I didn’t even know you existed. Therefore for half of the game I can’t give you any credit. Still at the moment you are slightly in the lead for my vote in front of Gerda, who played the harder game, but owned less moves and was not consistent in her decision. So it’s your vote to lose. Here are your questions:

 1. I said that many people think they had a bond to you in Ponderosa. I don’t know how much of it is real and assumption… So at F7. After voting Adam of… Rank the other 6 players from how much you would have stuck to them, given the chance.

 2. You never told me you had the hidden immunity idol… Therefore I assume it was just an emergency reaction as soon as you heard that votes were not in our favour. If you wouldn’t have had voted for Adam already. Would you have played the idol to get him out?

<p class="MsoNormal"> And one final question to all three of you…

<p class="MsoNormal"> What was the worst thing you said about me during the game?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> Allright Gerda, Ben… I am waiting for your answers… Own my vote… <ac_metadata title="Uli&#039;s Jury Speech"> </ac_metadata>
