I'm taking a break from fastings Feb 7, 2022
The last game I played, I had made a F3 deal with Coreya8 and Nenikoo.

For most of the game, especially the early phase, I worked my ass off to bring a group of people further into the game to defeat a premade that was trolling me in the pre-game.

My F3 alliance was going to blindside Harehere at F6 by putting him up on the block with an inact, but what we didn't expect was that he and Blairy together nommed the inact along with Nenikoo. You'd think that my F3 alliance would've had the numbers anyway, but I realized the next day that I had sent the wrong names (the inact and Blairy) to Nenikoo, which scattered our votes. The algo nommed Nenikoo in the tie and, after another tie vote, evicted Nenikoo over the inact.

Realizing I was in trouble, I felt like I needed to save face with Harehere and Blairy, the former of the two having suggested a F3 with them earlier (though earlier than that he had told me he didn't care about F3 cause he wanted to focus on frooks). Therefore, I unfortunately joined them in nomming the inact and Coreya8. Thankfully, the inact went home here unanimously, so at least Coreya8 could get in the F3 if the other two were going to betray me.

At F4, Harehere and Blairy decided to troll me and essentially made myself and Coreya8 plead our cases in terms of going forward, in which I had to emphasize my hard work carrying everybody that far in the first place. I could tell they were trolling me cause they both evicted Coreya8 at the last second instead of leaving it up to the algo to decide.

Regardless, I was grateful about getting into the F3, but I felt kinda bitter when Harehere and Blairy called themselves the king and queen of fasting, respectively, without acknowledging me. I pointed out that they got lucky at F6, but the next day, I realized that I was the one who screwed up at F6 by giving the wrong nom set to my ally (though from there they got lucky since the inact stayed in the algo at the eviction tie).

However, something that Harehere, Blairy, hunter200220, and a few others have pointed out to me is that I've recently developed a reputation of making too many endgame deals. For a while, this wasn't true, however, occasionally I got into situations in which the inact would get the last POV and I'd be forced to upset someone. Then, over the past couple of weeks, I must admit that I had unintentionally done this more than I should have and went from being seen as a good strategist to work with to too much of a threat to keep around.

As a result, I've decided to take a break from fastings for a couple of months so that I could give myself a chance to get my stuff together and give other people a chance to move on from recent games they've played with me. Coreya8 and Nenikoo, I'm really REALLY sorry for the miscommunication the other day and sorry to anyone else if there are hurt feelings over gameplay. I admit, I've gotten sloppy lately and need to recover.

Besides, I'm pretty busy right now in real life anyway. In the meantime, I'll still do castings and bets. I'll also host the Accumulation game I invented when enough people join, which reminds me, here's the link to the applications: https://tengaged.com/group/10242-rubys-accumulation/forum/topic/25378786

Take care. :)

Premade spotted Feb 3, 2022
image Delete2544, Pestilence, Batya, and MmabatlokoaMolefe (aka Mmabatlo) have a premade. Maybe Absol is in on it, but I don't think so. If you see a few of these players filling up a fastings together, don't bother joining unless you have numbers yourself.

Rookies Dec 26, 2021
Realized too late that I had to spend 15T$ to play the Rookies game and then got booted in the first cycle. Probably not gonna do Rookies again. :/

Nominated Alongside Your Best Ally Aug 24, 2019
I just finished fifth in a game and was eliminated after being nominated alongside my closest ally, GiNi. There was one inactive user remaining, so I tried convincing the two active voters, separately, to keep me in the game as I had a plan that could help one of them blindside the other in the final four. I failed to save myself as either they dismissed/disbelieved my message or I sent my message too late (45 seconds before the tallying).
