gabrieltrezza you honestly drove everybody nuts in the first five minutes and I knew you were familiar with my friend group so it was an easy decision to target you as quickly as possible and tbh it really wasn鈥檛 that hard to get you up. Calling out my starting alliance did significant impact to my beginning game so you can take pride in that atleast.
cswaggerr my main homie! You literally asked me to join ten minutes before enrollment and I鈥檓 glad you did although I think you would have done better without me considering me in the game with you and yad put an instant target on our backs. Regardless you got robbed in the polls and I hope I made you proud and feel avenged.
yaddddiggz the second member of the loyals alliance to be split on, I tried desperately to keep us both off but the perception had already been established that we were a group that needed to be split up and I really had to lean on my social game to atleast get the cast to split so we didn鈥檛 go up together
yoboyy_luke first and foremost I absolutely 100% did not nom you me and Keith both split this set, I know after you left you were upset and leaked conversations which I get it but yeah I know you were a huge part of keeping me off the block the previous two rounds and I tried to return the favor but you lost the algo, basically after I lost two allies back to back I decided I needed to rethink my game plan so I reached out to washed and through a little bit of truth and a little bit of fabrication got him convinced that we had both been pitted against each other which there is truth to, what wasn鈥檛 true or wasn鈥檛 something I know to he true I painted everybody who hadn鈥檛 even been considered as a set yet to be one big powerful premade which basically put a target on you jimmy temp Melinda and Eliot, unfortunately washed wanted to do you Melinda and after just spending hours swinging him to my side I wasn鈥檛 going to cause distrust by trying to change the set but I absolutely did not vote you
mutiny you came into your first stars like I think most do not not ready for the level of shade stress that comes with this game, I wanted to protect you as much as I could but I nommed you this and the round before because while I liked you in both cases it was either you go up or someone I was closer to did, the reason washed went up as well the round prior even though we had decided to work together I found out that donuts votes were under his control and i built that up in my mind to be bigger than it was and it spooked me into nomming him which was honestly one of my bigger mistakes in the game
eliotwhi I hope now that time has passed and you鈥檝e had time to calm down I鈥檓
Not sure what Keith specifically did but for me I had donut/pamper 100% locked this round which is a set you made at the beginning of dc, then with about 4 hours before dc I come to find out that me and Keith had become your set of always had been. while I did intend to target you eventually it was not going to be that early until you fired the first shot, from that point I worked the next four hours straight to flip the vote, we told Zach and washed that we found out that me and Zach had been made a set (not true) and that they were telling us all different things to get us all to vote each other and we had Memphis confirm that he had been told me/Zach to compel washed and Zach to help us flip the vote, the downside was you going off on Keith completely contradicted the narrative we had been spinning the previous 4 hours which I think had an impact on the next rounds noms
danielledonato we hadn鈥檛 played in so long I was hoping that distance in time would be enough to keep people in the dark that you are one of my oldest Tengaged friends unfortunately we got discovered and I went to bed that night knowing I had done the best I could to keep the new alliance we had formed in tact but certain that there was a strong chance we would go up
bb5lover jimmy in all honesty I wanted to work with you in this game but with how quiet you always were it was hard to know what was or wasn鈥檛 true because I鈥檝e been told that you knew more than you claimed but whether you followed through on some of the sets involving me I don鈥檛 know, but the fact of the matter is by this stage I had to nom you over closer allies I had in the game. This round was by far my finest hour and the turning point in the game, I knew that tempo had gotten to washed the night prior but in all reality what tempo revealed about me didn鈥檛 have a whole lot of substance but tempo is amazing at building paranoia in someone鈥檚 mind and creating doubts. My snap reaction was to out washed and donut set together and make them a set partially to get back at washed but what it also did was showed how quickly the other side of the house was willing to turn on the person that just saved their ass. And while you guys changed the set a few hours later it was already too late, I got on call with washed and proceeded to show him screenshots and quotes of all the people he just protected the previous round instantly saying they would turn around and put him up, I told washed I can either do the personal move and nom you and donut or I can do the strategical one and flip the house back our way permanently and we did.
donutilla this was another one of my better rounds because in all reality this was where you made your biggest mistake washed if you had gotten Zach or somebody from the group to push back against changing the set it probably would have stayed Melinda/Julie but I was fairly certain Julie would stay and if I could go into f6 with donut out then me memphis and Julie would have 3 solid votes to use down the stretch which ended up being key in how things played out
temponeptune just so you know the reason I allowed you and Melinda all night the night prior to pitch to me wasn鈥檛 because I wanted to be a needless dick, I was fairly certain that Zach and washed were a f2 and all the chat logs you showed me in all reality just showed Zach being vague but very much highlighted the fact you were going to do and work with whoever worked best for you that particular round it made you look untrustworthy, but regardless the chats confirmed my thought process that Zach and washed had to be split eventually. I wasn鈥檛 sure how or when which is why I let you and Melinda keep pitching I wanted to keep my options open but ultimately decided to go with a different route. You can sit there and and disagree with the decisions I made if you want as I know you鈥檝e expressed to me and others on Skype but the fact of the matter is I did what I had to do to get me and my closest ally to finals and we did it so I鈥檒l let those results speak for themselves
melindamrskk I wanted to work with you at the beginning of the game but when we talked you were always vague in your responses and didn鈥檛 really give me much to work with which led me to distrust you and played a big part in your early nominations. In my opinion you played a vastly better second half of the game than first half but by this point as you said in your poll box there wasn鈥檛 much left you could do
Washed_ravioli I genuinely HATED doing this, we had gotten to this point mostly with mine and johns friendship and alliance undetected and me and john used that, I talked with you and Zach all dc trying my best to make sure you knew I was on board with doing John mostly to make sure you guys didn鈥檛 lock me/John I honestly pondered which of you two to nom but ultimately went with you because I thought it was more believable that Melinda would be bitter and nom you/John vs Zach/John whether you believed it or not I don鈥檛 know but that is why. I feel terrible but it鈥檚 the crappy part about the end of stars there鈥檚 just no other options
Pampered81 despite the amount of times you鈥檝e been nommed you鈥檝e honestly played a good game the best thing you could do was stick with somebody you trust and lock with them.
zachtansey I sent you a more detailed explanation in pm鈥檚 but yeah I can鈥檛 stress enough how agonizing this decision was and it was not a decision that was made for certain till I woke up ten minutes before dc. You were so fantastic to work with you and washed both and I鈥檓 desperately hoping that you make finals but in the end this was the last and worst betrayal I had to do but I felt if I gave you any hint that I might vote you then I would have two votes and would risk going to algo, it鈥檚 not a great excuse for the promises I broke but it鈥檚 the best excuse I can offer
memphis_grizzlies after f10 we were the last two of the loyals alliance left and it was an amazing ride sneaking our way all the way to finals together congrats on your first finals and some people may criticize letting you go Unommed and I鈥檇 be lying if I said it wasn鈥檛 a contemplation that last round but in the end we had each other鈥檚 back all game from the start and I wanted to finish it that way if I could without putting my game at risk
If anybody has any additional questions about why I made certain decisions feel free to ask I鈥檒l be honest now that the game is over
