I want to just say how awesome it was to play in this game. Even though I fell short of the goal of making it to the end. I am appreciative of the support I received during the week, and with the site still being Tengaged and full of trolls and haters, I knew that I could make great social bonds with people in the game, and still stay safe until the end game. If you respect game, you should vote for Bread to be the winner of this game.
I did come up with a lot of the strategy in the game, and I took a lot of crap for it in the public. This strategy was mine from final 10 or so on, where I was pushing for one person to have to go unnommed to possibly beat Mari at the end of the game. However, I was hoping that when I went up for 5th, although I was pretty upset that I went up, and YES, Machu volunteered to go up with me, knowing that I would be the easy ticket to finals. So congrats Machu, your biggest move was to go up with someone hated and now I also wonder if you spammed for peoples votes, but alas, the past is done. Grats on Finals.
I do want to say one thing about Mari. It's hard to be in a game with someone, who your daily messages are "I am alone", and "I am not voting" or "I am not here to cause drama, I am not voting". So when I say she did nothing, I mean literally, with me, she did nothing and that is my POV on this. She knew she would work the public (valid strategy), but had zero effect on the game itself by making any moves herself. I just want to clear up that for the record.
Now, for Final 4 noms... Ahmed (Fighterman) had been pumping up Tara on the blogs page in multiple blogs all day. I took that as a hint that Ahmed's groupies would do what he says to do, and thought that maybe, just maybe Tara would have a chance to beat Mari in the poll, and she did. I am very proud that Tara is in the final. she played the game and never was a serious nomset until the end game. I conviced Bread and Machu to punch their tickets to finals... blowing up Machus plan to have bread and Tara go up for 4th and leaving no unnommed people left and handing Mari a win, when she could be beaten....especially now that we know that she was spamming people for votes.
Bread is unnommed, he played a phenominal game and deserves credit for the work that he put in this week. He is not nommed, and yes that is because of work that I did , because I wanted him to have a chance at the end to prove his case. If you have played stars and have gotten this far, you know that your choice for noms at 5th place decides who makes finals. I have done things in games to help friends do better before, if you remember Martagate where I laid down in finals for Dannyboy and got a record low 3.4% in the final trying to help my friend win, and those of you that know me also know that I could honestly care less about a stars win anymore.
13 years on this site is enough. I am going to be taking a break again after this weeks craziness, but I know that my friends still matter to me, thank you for your support over the years here. We have been through a lot, but I hope that you have healthy, supported, and thriving in 2024 and beyond. The memories that I have made here will stay with me always! Again, be well, be kind to each other and I wish you all nothing but the best.
Take care Tengaged!
