So I just finished my second Castings game. And just like in my first game I have come in 4th Place once again.
I'm actually pretty pleased with 4th, just like I was the first time, considering this was a very different game from the first, and I felt the entire time I had no real solid alliance, yet I still managed to make it to the Final 4. So here's how it all went down:
This game started out as a 'quickie' as I mentioned in my last blog post, with everyone wanting to start and finish it pretty much within the hour seeing as everyone was online, but it never happened because of people logging out at the wrong times. I deciced to form an alliance with a few people straight away: jake1313, AustinRules & lonelypuppie were one alliance (we even went into a chatroom together to discuss nominations and evictions) and I also had somewhat of a sideline alliance with Soffian.
rileylewis was the first to go, mainly because he chose to log out at the wrong time and everyone was mad at him because of this. Felix_Tuxedo was next because I believe he was becoming inactive. firebid1030 followed as he was the guy that stopped the quick game to begin with, he posted dumb posts and because he had POV last round we couldn't kick him out then. When I noticed my alliance started to crumble when AustinRules became quite vocal and agressive, I decided to try another sideline alliance with Xx_Dophie_xX, but she never replied, became inactive, and was evicted after firebid1030.
So now its down to 11 and this is when my alliance started to fall apart. Because AustinRules was so vocal he was, of course, evicted. It didn't seem like lonelypuppie or jake1313 were that interested in working with me still, however we still shared nominations, etc. At this time I was also still working with Soffian, but because he was also very quiet it was hard to know if he was really with me or not. I knew that soon enough I would be evicted. I didn't really mind because I was looking forward to playing a new game, however, this didn't happen.
So now its down to 10. Black_Dragon & Quentin were the next to go. 2 people that had no real major role in the game and were rather inactive. I thought I might go before them, but I didn't. lonelypuppie was next, who was in my crumbling alliance, so this was when I knew I was in real trouble, but I did win POV 4 times and they always seemed to be at the right times too :P
The final few days all happened within about 20 mins because everyone was online. Cute & ToPdOg were next, both of who I never spoke too and who I thought were in a strong alliance with but I was obviously wrong. Now its down to 5. Suddenly I feel like I can win this. jake1313, Soffian and I are working closely together and I feel we can go to the Final 3, but something will stop me from ultimetley winning, and his name is jake1313.
What can I say about jake1313. He's one of those members that will post a shitload of messages so if they make it to the finals they have been the most active and will win. I knew I couldn't let this happen, so I turned on him. I've never backstabbed someone before, but it needed to be done. I knew that I might follow (which I did) but at the end of the day it was probably worth it. He even messeged me afterwards with "u backstabber.." but hey, can you blame him?
So now I'm in the Final 4, and I'm stoaked! I made the Final 4 in my previous game and now I want to go that one step further and make the Final 3, but it didn't happen as I was then evicted. It seems Soffian, who I was in an alliance with, also had an alliance with astone929, and I only assume they were working with Lilvin31 too, which meant I was a goner. Disappointed, yes, but at the end of the day it seems Soffian stayed true to what seems to be his original alliance, so I can't be mad at him for that.
The Final 3 are now battling it out to see who will win. I'm thinking Soffian, and I hope so too :) Good luck man. It's been a great game, and I quite enjoyed it. 4th Place ain't too bad so I can't complain. Bring on the next game I say!
PS: Yes I know its another 'chimp' facepalm photo; but I can't help it they are so damn amusing :P
