Hello Jury!
Coming into this game, I wasn't expecting to go very far, a lot of this cast I was unfamiliar with, i dont have the best reputation, and I knew I couldn't come in here and try to be a gamebot, controlling, or a big threat.
So i came into this game, fighting for myself, and playing solely for myself. I adopted the anybody but me strategy, and i realized if people realized that i can be viewed as a number, as someone who just wants to go forward to the next vote, then i can be overlooked. Thats what i needed to go through in the early game. People came to me and didn't include me in their alliances, but they overlooked me, told me who to vote, and I did that. Honestly my peers shouldve voted me out at the marto double tribal council, but i proved myself to be an asset or a number and i survived.
When we swapped and i found some familiar faces and now these old alliances were dependent on me, that when i can spice up my game a bit. For example, when we swapped Jorge wanted to target alan, and Jorge trusted me and i trusted jorge to a decent amount. However, alan approached me and was desperate and i swung the votes to keep alan, because i saw an opportunity to further myself, and myself only. I played an extremely SELFISH game, i let allies fall, and had to lie to many people in this game, and that's because I needed to do what i needed to do to stay alive and make myself in the best situation moving forward.
If someone came up to me, and offered me a deal and they seemed honest, i was willing to swing over. Alot of people didn't realize that. If one alliance was good, but you offered me a better situation, i would flip in a heartbeat.
Alot of this game however was me trying to get out Mud and Alex, surprisingly i am in the final 3 with them. And surprisingly they never voted me off. I TRIED, and i tried to get them off, Mud i voted for him possibly almost every time he was elgible. I tried to idol out Alex. I was no sheep, just a virus looking to continue life. The fact that they kept me all the way to here despite me betraying them time after time, i think it speaks volume to how i was able to manipulate that situation.
I adapted my game several times, i played for myself, and i never overlooked the situation, the goal was to make it one step forward. Sometimes i took 2 steps forwards, 1 step back, but i worked my ass off to get here, and I didnt rely on idols, i never had an immunity necklace to protect me, and i did what i needed to do to get myself to this point
