This is gonna be lengthy so buckle up bois you're in for a wild ride!
So this is my second stars and my second finals, and I couldn't be more proud of myself for getting to this point. I've battled tooth and nail in this game to achieve what I have.
It was never actually my plan to play Stars this week. I just enter the raffle because why not? But when I got drawn I panicked a little, particularly with it being over Christmas.
So I entered the game completely alone and not knowing what to expect.
Straight out of the game it immediately became clear to me that there were two big premade alliances. One consisting of Criisan/Deneve/WorkBitch/Solitary and SemNome. The other consisting of Cffff/JoJo/GentlemanG/NotNicky.
This meant that I knew I had to play the middle. A role I hate playing because it means you have to lie. A lot.
For the early parts of the game WorkBitch/Criisan were very inactive so it made sense to take numbers off this first premade. Even if I did lose my king Vitor for 15th </3.
What turned this game on it's head for me was a very weird flip for 14th. GentlemanG and his premade decided to flip the vote onto Surviv0r without consulting me or filling me in. Lying and leaving me out of this; something SO inconsequential and something that I'd have had no problem doing, let me know that I couldn't trust these people. I had also developed a really good relationship with Solitary, so I figured I'd be more safe with him.
Therefore that vote I turned the tables on JoJo and Ray, and SAFE TO SAY they were not happy. I got a few choice words in the stars chat about how I was 'dumb' or whatever. All that succeeded in doing was push me closer to my new alliance.
From 13th-10th I rode this out. Nominating and systematically eliminating what became known as the 'North American' premade.
(I will be making a blog about what I've witnessed in this Stars and the prejudice against Brazilian, Spanish users during this past week on TG in general whether i win or not).
From 9th onwards was a WILD ass ride. My social relationships saved me from going up with my closest ally, Cody for 8th place which was mad tbh, and quite a dumb move on their parts.
Me and Cody then took out Solitary, one of my closest allies, but a definitive threat to my game.
I did go up for 6th and 4th, but only due to the aggressiveness of my game. I didn't hold back any punches. I lied my fucking ass off, I felt terrible but that's the game we play unfortunately.
And finally I am here. In the finals, with the two people that I planned to take with me. I have so much love for Carollina and Criisan (even if he doesn't for me lol). HOWEVER, they would not be here if it weren't for the pre-game relationship they had.
I didn't have that and it made it so much harder to get here. I had to scrap and socialise and work my butt off, and THAT is why I believe I deserve to win this stars.
I would lastly like to say, I harbour no hard feelings towards any of my castmates. But what I will say is be very careful before you under-estimate me and call me dumb because I am far from it, and I proved that.
