I think I have Julia's because she said so and I adore her. I think I have Nat's vote because she told me so before she left.
And then, when me and Andrea called you out on your game play, just your game play, Jeff brought up that you were being bullied, and you saw the opportunity. You played the victim card. And some people actually believed you were being bullied. Hah. I hope this opens some eyes. Your whole jury speech was nice, but your true colors have already been shown many times before, Tai. I do hope we can be friends and bury the hatchet after this game, though. My only question is: Why did you say and do all those things to me, why did you attack me personally?
thanks.Tai wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:44:26 pmUhh, Natalie, I think you need to be way more aware in this game. LJ was carried by me and Lindsey for the first half of the merge, and me for the rest of game, I was his meat shield. This game is a lot more than voting correctly. And voting correctly does not equate to your level of strategy.. It has a lot to do with the game and strategy, don't get me wrong, but not at the weight you are holding it at.
I pissed off a lot of the jury because I was in the minority for the entirety of the game. They weren't my allies, I was against them, I think thats reason enough. It's understandable. I voted "wrong" for the tie vote between you and Alecia because she is my ally, and you were lucky that it was Fran who came in and broke the tie then, or else you would have been wrong had it been someone else. I voted wrong ON PURPOSE. I knew the vote was for Fran but I voted wrong on Nick, I wanted to separate myself and gain trust of the other people in minority, by showing them they could trust me, and that's what happened. They trusted me. My vote for Spencer was wrong BUTTTT it could have definitely worked if Julia/Aubry stuck with the plan and did not become paranoid, and many others would have been wrong, this is me trying to make a move against a threat. I voted for Aubry because I wanted to take her out at that point and I wanted Steve at F4, and show him that hey I am a loyal person and maybe I would have a chance at his vote for jury if I made it F3. It must be nice to be in a majority when you vote someone out, I mean that's the only way they get to go home. I voted wrong because I didn't want to vote for my ally mostly. There are so many times that had it worked out, it would have been amazing. I continued to play this game at every second, not staying comfortable even if I was in a "majority" at times. I mean I went to 16/17 tribals in this game. I voted wrong only 5? That's only 31% error. 6/6 were because I actually tried to make something happen when the odds were against me.
I got the end because I got Kyle booted. I flipped into the minority and gaining powerful allies with Aubry and Lindsey, who gave me idols. I took out the biggest threat in this game, Andrea. I voted wrong sometimes to gain allies which I think is more strategic.
DAMN YOU PUBLIC TRIBALLJ wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:52:03 pmKing Nick,
A combination of both to be sure. I’m not going to sit here and say I was in control or anything like that. Literally one last second decision to vote for me instead someone else and I’m not here. I do think that keeping that target off of yourself requires some skill though.
For that “just surviving” chunk of this, my game was literally just making other people into bigger threats than me. Letting Lindsey do most of the heavy lifting socially, subtly poking the bear with Tai and you guys arguing at tribal council, pushing the “Spencer has the Hadiboh idol” story left and right when I knew Lindsey had it all along. Fake it ‘til you make it, you know?
Once I “made it” it became a completely different game, and one that was much more skill than luck.
One thing I wish I could change?
That public TC, man. I had been kicking around this idea of pushing for a Natalie vote there after Morgan. I thought it would have made you the swing vote at 7, and you would have sided with me, Lindsey, and Tai because you’d know you would beat us in the end.
Obviously it worked out with me getting here, and who knows what you would have done in that situation. But I’ve always been curious how that would have played out.
Thanks!
LOL, I deserved that. I did damage control with you the most, I think. It really was not anything personal! I didn't trust you after the fake idol thing and knowing you were so close with Spencer and possibly others on other tribes. Having the big ol alliance at merge didn't help that. We really could not get on the same page. But yes, I did play it up to possibly reopen that door later on in the game... though that opportunity never came. I didn't completely shut down the idea of working with you until after the Trish vote.Nick wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:43:40 pmAubry: I love you as a person, but in the game, not so much. Time after time you would say you'd vote with me, that we'd play together. Those were just empty words, however. So, I thought I'd return the favor a bit and leave you in the cold for two votes, so you could crawl in MY skin and walk around in it. I think this quote sums it up nicely:

my "friend" had shown me their true colors.
Yet, I still wanted to believe they were sorry for causing
me pain. p. 128”

Almost forgot, you thought you were so slick when you ran crying to me that you didn't tell Tai he was the vote that night he played an idol, but I knew it was you. I just had to calm you down, don't think you were such a mastermind for that.
To EVERY contestant, I wanna see some humility. Tell me one thing about your game that you wish you could change, that you did wrong.
nah we did, just not with the f3. Yeah Aubry, that idol thing was one of my tasks, I really didn't want to do it but seemed the most logical, maybe it'd work. All the Sheikhs had tasks and shit to do, they weren't fun.Aubry wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:53:41 pmLOL, I deserved that. I did damage control with you the most, I think.

And in fairness, again I love you as a person, but in fairness, saying "I didn't tell Tai" didn't have to work on you. It had to work on some people, and it worked on enough for me to be an integral part in flipping the game (against you and Spencer) the next round.
Rocket League it is!Aubry wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:57:35 pmWhoops and the humility thing:
I would not have voted for you at the merge. I know there was a whole alliance brewing without me, but had I voted with you and not against you, maybe I could have gotten in on that. I would have been at the bottom, but maybe I could have dismantled it like I helped dismantle the majority that did form, and I could have done it while working with you for real! Maybe I wouldn't have had to be so scrappy and sneaky and purposefully in the dark, and this whole game would have been different for me.
Love you, let's play Rocket League for real!!
Sorry, what idol thing specifically?Nick wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 9:57:54 pmnah we did, just not with the f3.
