First let's acknowledge the elephant in the room. Tengaged flipped my photo and the goddamn stars pollbox only lets you do it once per round. I call bullshit.
BUT, I truly have worked my ass off during this game!!! I walked into the stars house only knowing two people, one of them hating me. I was forced to build relationships from the start. Its hard for newbies to get far in this game a lot of the time as, people often see the newbies as an easy first boot.I was thrown into an alliance of 6 by Tcold early on, whom I flipped on to gain majority. As predicted I was targeted early for 15th, but with my social skills and the help of my alliance I was able to stay off the block for 15th. From that point forward, my name was never in a set until this round. I think that speaks to my gameplay immensely. People could toss my name out there but deep down I knew it would never get any traction because I surrounded myself with people that were bigger targets than myself. This allowed me to sneak in to the final 5 without being a set or a counter. People on the other side kept coming to me for my vote in GROUP CHATS every round because they didn’t see me as a threat even though I had a huge factor in what went through.
I will say that I think I deserve to go to the end, because I proved my worthiness as a true strategist. I definitely had help, but I had to form brand new relationships in this game. Nexus had a f2 with Stuart, so that was EXTRA security. I never had that sense of security ever. Not to mention, Stuart and Emma are first page friends so there was the guarantee that they wouldn’t lock each other. I didn’t have any of that security throughout the entire game. I had to work harder to build relationships with people and I think I showed I did a good job. I’ve only been on tengaged 2 months and I made it to the final 4 with out a single nomination.I could have gone unnommed and not put up NexusCain for 5th but I wasn't going to do that, I had to stick to my guns and do what was right. For a newbie, I pushed most of the votes, and 22/26 of my nominations went through(The exception being adamx and EmmaM for 13th). I hope you all allow me to go to the F3 because I poured my heart into my first stars and did the absolute best I could. P.S. I'm a singer so if you KEEP ME I WILL POST A VLOG EXPLAINING MY STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES SINGING :)
THANK YOU TENGAGED AND FUCK THE POLLBOX FOR FLIPPING MY PHOTO AROUND IM MAD AT THAT!
