Fact of the matter is, as soon as I saw that we weren't taking any breaks over the holidays, I knew that I was going to be screwed.
I would have loved to give it my all, but I had to choose between family and the game, and there's no way on earth that I was going to prioritize online activities over them.
If I'd been around, it would've been much easier to convince someone to flip, and I had a pretty good contingency plan for that, but I guess that's all in the past now.
2. Umm... I was out of town for like month, and missed TWO tribe swaps. So, yeah, sorry that you don't regard that as a game-screwer.
3. Sorry I had enough of a real life to be super busy around Christmas?
If I'd had enough free time to mastermind things like I was preparing to in the earlier rounds, it would have been a lot different.
I didn't have enough time to actively convince people that we should get our hands dirty and take them out, If I'd been able to do that, (and I probably could have, if I'd had enough time to actually talk to people), then we'd have been rid of you and Carly at the very least, and Tina and Jonah would still have been around, which would have changed the game significantly.
I'm fully aware of how irrational my claims to goddessship were. I may have been a star in the first few rounds, but Christmas absolutely relegated me to the lower tier, and there was nothing I could (or would) have done to change that.
But I'll definitely keep your advice about Christmas in mind next time that the opportunity to spend time with loved ones appears to be about to interfere with my ability to impress people in an online game about pretending to play a reality show.
