I knew it would happen eventually...after 4 straight finals appearances in fastings...i finally didn't make it. It's probably a good thing though...i was getting very arrogant...my ego needed it.
For a while afterward I was mad. Very mad. I felt cheated. I ran into my first Brazilian premade and the cards were dealt against me from the beginning. To make it worse, they were all related. It consisted of a father, two brothers, a family friend, and someone else. I tried as hard as I could to put together an alliance and I formed a very solid 2-way that stuck together and we were the last Americans standing but the rest of the English speakers were non-active and the Brazilians refused to even talk to me.
They spoke a lot of Portuguese in the public comments at the beginning...then they just stopped talking at all...they only talked to each other...until after they eliminated us all. I communicated with them a little in Spanish to try and get them on my side (I'm a Spanish minor) and they definitely liked me...but that didn't stop them from evicting me...
I just need to remember that it's just a game and doesn't matter at all both on this site or in real life.
I learned a valuable lesson in that game...time to move on...
