So this vote has been interesting. I've been trying pretty hard to push Dewie since Jon/Stan/Dewie are a very solid three and I think it would be best for the people I am mainly aligned with (Sammy/James). At the beginning the way I viewed it, voting out Dewie (who I think is the shadiest of the three of them), would ensure that even if David/Jonas flipped to work with Jon/Stan I would still be in the majority with James/Sammy/Jacob/Joe. Jonas started pushing Jacob hard which made it extremely obvious that he was working with Jon/Stan/Dewie and made it even more imperative that we vote out the three of them. Then Jonas made a bombshell move and included Sammy and I in a group chat with them and told Sammy he wants david out. I should be able to us this to rally the 4 people not in the chat around my effort to vote out dewie, will keep you updated

So Jonas is pm-ing me about final three and all that stuff which he obviously doesn't mean. I don't know why he would think that Sammy and I would work with him. If we came into his alliance with Stan/Dewie/Jon, we would obviously be on the bottom. He either is way too cocky and thinks we are dumb, or he's lying to us, either is possible. Anywho, I think I was able to rally people for this vote partially with the help of Sammy. I was able to use what Sammy told me about Jonas wanting David out to win David's trust more (I think) and the fact that thy were left out of the group chat to persuade James/Jacob. Joe hasn't logged on in a bit but I'm sure he will vote with us. I asked Sammy to reach out to him because I don't want to do all the dirty work and told Sammy to remind Joe that Jonas flipped on Setsu and is ditching him. Hopefully this works!!

I can't believe they split votes, that is just bananas...they must have assumed the OG Kurma was just bad? I wish that this cite had access to a few emoji keyboard because I would put like 1000 rooster emojis, COCKY. Anyway, that vote was huge. This damages the Jonas/Stan/Jon alliance immensely and makes me and the people that I am working with a little safer. The only negative is that this probably finally sh*t the bed on my strained relationship with Stan and Jon which was good until they both lied to my face with the vote Dewie Idol/Jabbar vote. By burning this bridge, I probably put a bigger target on my back whereas I was kinda playing UTR before. I have now lied to Jonas Stan and Jon but so has sammy and he is a much bigger challenge threat than I. The way I look at it, the next vote should be between Jonas and Sammy, I will obviously push for Jonas, hopefully he doesnt get immunity. I am worried as I show my strategy to James and David, they will start to think I am a threat because I am a decently smart player and I have very large pull over the OG Kurma squad. I see this as a potential problem. To try to fight this, I have been really over the top on "hyped to be working with you/have a person to trust talk" I am hopeful in that they will see this as a rookie getting overly loyal. Those two guys are awesome people and I have enjoyed getting to know them but it'd be tough to win against them and they might view me as someone who is tough to win against. I am not a cocky person but I am very pleased with how I have played so far.
I have first to bring up the name/single handedly/made the hardest push to vote out:
Jude (albiet that was an easy one)
James
Dakota
Dewie
Was the swing vote/had the final say:
Mud (albiet that was not my best moment)
Setsu
On top of that, I was only in the minority for the Jabbar vote because of an idol and I have only received two votes and that was because Kristana/Dakota were soooo salty when they found out I wanted Dakota to go. I like how I am playing but by blindsiding the only two members on the jury so far, I'll have to do some work in that department. This is fun, I am glad I can be playing this!

Since I posted about what I'm doing well in the game so far I think I should post my weaknesses. I am a very trusting person by nature so I think that has made this game a little difficult for me. Like with the Jabbar vote I trusted Stan and John with info about our plans because they implored that they wanted to work with me; that backfired. Had I been a little less trusting then maybe I would have even more numbers in this game at this point. I also hate lying, HATE It. It makes me very uncomfortable so I try to do it as little as possible, and I don't think that I've been very good at it when I needed to do it. That being said there are times where I have lied to people and when it becomes apparently that I lied to them, I think there has been bad blood. It's getting to the point in the game where ive pretty much told everybody that I would work with them. While it has led me to feel pretty comfortable for most of this game, Im worried that as I have to vote these people out they will hold a grudge and if I were to make it to FTC, I would not get their vote. Maybe I should have just sided with one strong alliance rather then with everyone.

So trying to do damage control. I messaged Jon, basically saying that I was sorry about the vote and since I had had to lie to him, that I was sorry if he felt I disrespected him. I was sorry, he seems like s very genuine person. Jonas messaged me basically asking what happened and I just said that I was uncomfortable with a loved one pair still in the game. What I think may prove to be key is that I told both of them that I wanted to include them in the vote but was told not to. I think this is important because, if I am right, it will make them think I was not behind the Dewie vote and make them think that I am a follower and not a leader in the group of 6 who voted Dewie. If this gets them to turn their attention to James, David, or Sammy, that would be huge!

Jon just messaged me and was saying how he doesn't hold this vote against me (even though it seems pretty much like he does) and then he goes "no offense but your opinion doesn't matter in this game, you aren't running things." 1. A little offense haha 2. I know I'm not running things, I'm not that self centered but I do think that I am playing an influential part in this game! I guess that is good that he thinks that and maybe other people do too and that means I'm flying under the radar

So I think I'm in a decent spot right now (I'm sure everyone says that and each tribal council it's not true for at lease one person). So far my damage control has been going pretty well. I already have David and James saying they want to go F3. Stan and Jon are upset but say they want to work with me. Jonas messaged me and said that he still wants to go F3 with me and Sammy. On top of that I have the other 3 Kurma people and if we all get to F7 then us four go final four. Ideally Im sitting next to Jacob and Joe in the end but that's a waysssss away, i probably won't get there, and even if I did, I am probably going to have to sacrifice Joe or Jacob to show my "loyalty" to another group. So it seems as though I am in everyone's plans (of course I could always be voted out next). It also seems as though I'm no ones target. In my conversation with Jon before he was saying that there are 3 big players in the game, James/Jonas/Sammy. David and James want Jonas gone I believe and so does Sammy. Joe already said he wants Stan go. It'll be interesting, im considering taking an urn at the challenge.

I was browsing through the other forums and found one where people were talking about this la familia thing, which I assume is some sort of alliance thing, and I noticed that James/Stan/Jacob/David are all in it. I didn't know any of those people were close at all. Maybe they have had a an UTR strategy to get to f7 and then pick everyone off, maybe I'll have to rally some people and vote one of them off

I think I want to make a big move this week, although its dangerous since I don't have immunity yet nor do I know who yet. Maybe James? we shall see.

Hmmm Jonas comes to me and tells me James is trying to get out Sammy, this could possibly make it easier to vote James? Although Sammy seems to be not very interested in responding to my messages today, could it be that he's gunning for me? Oh look that rhymed. Anyway, will post with updates

Jonas wants James, as I said previously, that is something I am exploring. James tells me that Jon wants to flip me and vote Sammy. I think a lot of people (Jonas/James/Stan/Jon) think I'm kinda a mindless pawn that they can just persuade to vote with them while trying to make me feel like I am in charge. Sammy hasn't responded to me much today which concerns me but I don't see him gunning for me plus Jonas insists he is playing a Skype game. I guess we will find out more tomorrow

Ok this vote is a f*cking mess. As I said earlier I was set to vote out james, this was only bolstered when Jonas said he was thinking the same thing. My reasoning behind this is that he was telling me how he was just using David as a pawn which is a pretty messed up thing to say considering we are supposed to be in a f3 and he supposedly likes david a lot. That just made it even more clear in my mind that he probably says the exact same thing about me to everyone else. So I put forth my plan and got Stan and Jon on the same page. So it would be me/Stan/Jon/Jonas/Sammy voting James. The problem with that is that Joe and Jacob are siding with James and voting Stan and are vehement that Stan go home. Talking to jacob I realized that if James goes home, I may lose Jacob and Joe as allies meaning I would be committed to Stan/Jon/Jonas. The problem is I don't trust them very much at all. So, you'd think this would all make sense, I just go with my originals and vote stan and be the fifth vote. The problem with that is that when I was doing damage control, I had told Stan I wouldn't write his name in an effort to regain his trust. Therefore I was trying to get Sammy to come back to my side so that I could just vote someone random. If I vote Stan, him and Jon hate me and if I make it to the end they wont give me their jury vote. The way it appears to me, I have the deciding vote and I'm in a f*cking textbook lose-lose situation

So obviously this whole dumb jonas thing but jonas messaged me and was like "you lie to me with every breath you take" uhhh pot meet kettle??? But its pretty funny because I only lied to him with the dewie vote and thats it, didn't lie to him now, the plan was to vote James, Sammy and I were discussing it, really weighing our pros and cons and it was Sammy first who definitively said he was voting Stan. That meant Stan was the majority vote whether I voted or not. I was going to vote someone random to keep my word to Stan but before I could vote, this all went to sh*t so yeah there's my side of the story

Ive been pretty busy which is why I haven't posted in a bit. Obviously, Sammy f*cked me over by telling Jonas who I was voting for so he could play the idol. It made me look very bad and I am sad that James went home this week. I will say that its ridiculous that just because I or say Jacob/Joe/David don't play the way Jonas/Jon/Stan want us to play we are automatically puppets. It is also very off putting the way they are reacting. This is a game, you don't win anything, there is no reason to be mad online about anything that goes on here.

So I was talking to Sammy and mentioned that If he won immunity I would feel unsafe because I think Jonas, Stan and Jon would come for me and if they ended up finding an immunity idol, i would be screwed. Sammy told me that he would play the immunity idol on me if he heard anything about that. That was exactly the answer I was hoping for. If Sammy wins immunity tonight I think I'm going to try to flush the idol that way, even if people aren't actually trying to get me out. We shall see!

Saw the votes for me coming from a mile away. I was so busy the last few days I couldn't really game plan or else I would have pushed extremely hard for Sammy to play his idol on me. He still might not have but maybe I'd still be in this game, who knows! Any way, it's been real, thank you Nate for hosting a good game and for Mel always being so nice to me as I bombed challenge after challenge haha I had fun!
