Opening Statement Part 2
I manipulated my way throughout the game, with most of it being said above with how I had a portion of a role to play in everyone’s exit.I really hope there are no hard feelings, as it's just a game and I was doing what I needed to do in order to get to this point. You all are incredible people, and it really hurt to have to take you all out. In addition to this, I was good at comps as well. I won two immunities ( I think tied for first this season) when I needed them, and was paramount in tribal competitions in scoring wins for our tribe in two of them. All wins came when I needed them so I didn't pose too much of a threat. How many did Walker win? One Immunity. I would be so bold to say Walker floated most of the game, as I used him multiple times as a vote and nothing more. Everything I did had a purpose behind it, and I went with a cutthroat logical way of thinking behind everything. Sometimes I was attempting at isolating some to help them benefit my game, and others I saw as a threat to me winning. Either way, I have justification for everything I did in this game, and did so in a logical and cutthroat manner.
Walker was merely a pawn of this three person alliance of Beast, Nightmare, and I, and those can (likely) attest that the three of us saw him as another vote. If I didn't push to bring him in, he would likely be another member of the jury. Walker had no part to play in Nightmare besides flipping when it tied (which we expected). You did not "gather" the three of us, we reached out to you. We reached out to you when we needed your vote, too. You did not get rid of Om3ga, not at all. Nightmare, Beast, and I went around rallying votes to take Om3ga out. So please, stop acting like you were the mastermind behind all of these exits. You also did not turn your "boys" on Jake, we turned on Jake because he was a strategic threat and knew you:
1) Were a very emotional player;
2) Beast was with us, and I was in a die-hard f2 with Beast so I could count on him.
So please, don't act like you manipulated your way into making Nightmare and I vote Jake because we had our perfectly valid reasons in voting for Jake, insofar that he was a strategic threat (and I say that with as much respect for Jake as I can).
Throughout the game I was using people's own emotions against them, which may or may not be good by how you look at it. I knew emotional players when I saw one, and Walker was an emotional player. His emotions went in the way of disliking Beast for spamming him, hence why I’ve wanted to go to the final three with them both. I used Walker’s emotions of disliking Beast in order to get here, f2, with little to no blood on my hands in taking BeastBoy out. In addition, I had to make it seem Nightmare had control of Beast and my vote, but when we had the chance I ended up convincing Beast. In terms of everyone else, whenever I put pressure I would use manipulation and emotional advancements in order to gain trust, look like I was giving information, and be able to gain further insight to help my game. I tried isolating Jake to gain a new ally, but sadly I don't think it worked as well as I was hoping.
