Ryan:
Ok before I finally get my first good sleep since two days ago of 6 combined hours of sleep, let me rationalize here with you as to why I made the moves I did this round.
Firstly, I knew Adam had already flipped to Ronui beforehand. I just need information to confirm this. The screenshot which I had sent over here proved that he was trying to BS me. Like at least come up with a good lie?
Knowing that he purposefully targetted me, I knew I wasn't the tribal target (unlike what I put up on the public forum). They wouldn't do something like that. I've been fooled once in a game I played almost a year ago (
https://iansurvivor.fandom.com/wiki/Survivor:_Konoha ). A literal pedophile gaslighted me in the same manner Adam did, by accusing me that it was my fault I made him distrust me, when I did nothing to prove otherwise. In that tribal, I played an idol on myself, thinking I was going home, but instead one of my closest allies went because I was too emotionally charged. One year later, I'm not making the same mistakes.
Yes, was the voting confessional emotional? Absolutely. I use the strategy of my confessionals to release the in-game anger, without seeming like a dick to the rest of the cast.
Then, tribal occurs. I post the following stuff and in a sense, expose things that are already public. The intention was for them to think I was voting for Adam, even though in my mind if there was another name that came up, I would gladly switch my vote. I did eventually. But they were hoping I was playing such an emotional game that the vote will be 6-5-1, John going home.
Minutes before the vote, John texts me and says that he’s been throwing Jimmy’s name out and Jimmy’s been doing the same. At this point, I presumed that Cubs knew if he stuck with Ronui he’d be guarantee 7th place. So I switched my vote at the last minute.
FROM JIMMY: “who told you they were voting me out; lets compare notes”. A bit condescending, don’t you think, eh?
FROM JIMMY: “can u like; not vote me in the redraw; because john is just gonna team up with natalie and eoin; and run the game; so can u like make a move”. Listen bud, I know when I’ll make my move. Don’t be a condescending son of a fucker here, don’t you remember you voted me out unanimously on Purple’s Survivor Karokaram? You still think I forgot? I’m seventeen, not seven. And also, that explanation as to why I should flip doesn’t make sense. It’s only to help Jimmy, not me. I lose everything and gain nothing by working with Ronui.
So I absolutely blatantly make up an obvious lie even fourth boot Jeremy would be able to see through: Ok I’ll switch. He doesn’t believe what he’s hearing, it’s too good to be true! Jimmy actually believes that I’ll switch my vote. So I don’t.
Revote rolls around, I’m sitting in class, anxiously waiting for the results as the time closes itself to 8am, and then from then I’m not allowed to use my phone. Deadlocked. I glee in excitement and message Jimmy this: Sorry. They’re my alliance.
Of course I know Natalie John and Eoin will try to take reins of the game. I would ideally make a move at 8 or 7, just to ensure that they don’t get too strong. Scott D. pulls the rock, he’s out. Not the ideal outcome as we have both been extremely clean towards each other in terms of lying and stuff. However, it’s a Ronui number down, and I’m cool with that. Yes, on the chat John created, I yelled YAS, but I also PMed Decker and told him about my utmost respect I had for his game. The latter of which I felt was true. I need time to conceal my game so that when I strike, Fautaua won’t see it coming. They will think I’m blindly loyal to them, and then bam the head of the snake will come tumbling down.
Oh yeah, and I blocked Adam over Skype for personal reasons and also because I wanted to continue the persona of completely hating him to the point I tunnel-visioned myself in the game.
Numbers are 6-5, someone could easily flip, so I need to hold out hope everything stays as usual this round. I need the immunity necklace or IOTI visit next round.
And for the record, I will win this game.
