Final Words

[liam]

Ah, what a way to go. The disappointing thing is that I think I might have had a chance had I made the merge.

I probably should have asked about the teepee thing. I was tired though and just wanted to get it done. I thought the time restriction was only for the placing for the straw.

Of the people left, I think Leah, Chase, and Colleen have the best chance of getting my vote.

Ryan might also be able to convince me, and I haven't been on a tribe with Ellen, so I'd have to at least give her a fair hearing.

The other five seem unlikely to get my vote, unless they end up in a finals with each other. (Kendall, you're great to talk to, but I've don't think you've been the best player).

To Justin, you ran a great game and I'm not going to let one challenge detract from the fact that you certainly kept everyone on their toes with a cool storyline, twists and turns.

I made the jury and improved my best place by 4. All in all, a good experience, even though there are a few specific people I'd like to have beaten.

Oh yeah, final words was probably premature, because I like to post from time to time even when I'm voted out.

So, here's what I've realized. I've played 3 games of Survivor.

In the first game, there were three tribes to start. My tribe kept losing members, but I was in a majority, and generally doing alright. Then there was a tribe mix-up. This tribe was 2-2-1 with me being the one. We lost the challenge and were told we were being dissolved into the other tribes. No reason to keep the 1 in that situation, off I go.

In my second game, there were 4 professions. I ended up on a tribe with 4 gangsters, and 5 non-gangsters. Seeing the threat, I go to the other soldier on the tribe and say that we should vote out a gangster. He basically says, "Nah" proceeds to want to vote out one of the Pioneers who I'm trying to win over, while simultaneously telling the gangsters what I said and throwing me under a bus. So, that was awesome.

In this game, I got put on a tribe with a 3-2 disadvantage. I managed to force a tie but messed up the tie-breaker.

That's three games in a row now where I got voted out for perfectly good strategic reasons, that were pretty much out of my control. Even though I'm not the best player, you'd think at least one of the times I would have been lucky enough to have made the merge, just by being on good tribes, and having good luck at mixups.

Like Carly. She's in the F10, through apparent sheer luck. I mean, I'm pretty good at challenges, so it's not like I'm dragging my teams down.

OMG, I have a fan!

I find it really funny that your gif signature just looks like a younger version of your avatar.

Also, I suspect that Kendall told Dominic who my actual partner was. Just a hunch based on reactions to the vote. Could be wrong, but it would make sense to me.
