Big update on the nature of my game going forward because, if I don't change something, I have no chance of winning.
Sometimes you have to take risks if you wanna win it all. At this point, I can tell my place among my allies. As soon as Jonas goes, they're all chomping at the bit to get me gone right after. I know Jonas is a threat. But, at this point, so is everyone to me. The least I can do is try to preserve myself for as long as possible. Usually, I think when it comes to one vote at a time, but I'm gonna try for once to think about my future in this game, and it's looking quite bleak.
Simply put, I'm gonna strike them before they strike me. This has been a constant in my gameplay so far. With Setsu, Dewie, James all going because they all had the potential of flipping on me. Here's the deal, I'd rather vote out someone who would disguise themselves as being with me sooner than someone who wouldn't. If I can get Jonas, Stan, and Jon on my side, then I need to flip and vote out someone like Joe. I know it's ballsy, I know it doesn't make sense, but as long as Jonas is here, that's a buffer for the target on my back. I guarantee you the thought in every one of my allies' heads is "Jonas, then Sammy". I want to delay that "then" for as long as possible.
So, I talked to Jonas and we honestly had one of the most real talks we've had all game. We discussed both of our positions in the tribe, how our days were both numbered. Here's the thought: why go against each other? We're in pretty much identical spots, but we're on warring sides. Stan and Jon will inevitably take Jonas out if it gets down to it, and Jacob/Joe/David will take me out when it gets down to it. Our questions are: Why give them the chance?
That's right boys, it's the Dream Team you've all been waiting for! Jonas and Sam are teaming the f*ck up. If we make it to final 6 together, we have a 2-2-2 tie when it comes to crunch time in things. The funny thing is, and I've never thought I'd say this, but Jonas is the person I trust the most in terms of this flip. Jonas knows he's in deep trouble with this vote, so he's absolutely desperate. Desperation can be dangerous, but it can also be beneficial, because he's willing to work with anyone. Including me. I'm gonna have to work with Stan and Jon of course, but my questions are whether or not they're gonna be short-sided or smart. If they were smart, they'd vote me out. No question a f*cking bout it. If I make it far, I think they know that there'd be no way I'm gonna stick with them. But, I think if my social game is strong enough to convince people to flip on Joe, then I should be able to convince Stan/Jon I'm with them for the long haul.
For the most part, I'm gonna tell them the truth. I know that they will flip on me and I just want to be the one to strike first. The only question is if they'll stick with me or not. I think Jonas is crucial for this because he can convince them to keep me around. To be honest? I wouldn't be surprised if one of Joe/Jacob/David tries to flip as well. It's up to Joans to tell Stan and Jon to take ME under their wing, not any of the other three. In addition, I need to be able to appeal to Stan/Jon's gaming brains. I know, if I'm a juror, I would be f*cking disappointed to see a Joe/Jacob/David final 3, which is what would inevitably happen as soon as me and Jonas go home back to back. I need to tell Stan and Jon that if they wanna not be picked off one by one, then they need to act now. And they do, absolutely. But I do too.
I think it's a lose-lose situation for Stan and Jon, personally. If they vote me out, then they would both get 5th and 4th, respectively. If they vote Joe out, though, they would inevitably get voted out by me, if I had any say in it. Of course, Jonas is still the biggest threat to win, but if I want any shot of making FTC, I absolutely have to work with him. Period. Maybe this move may cause me to get 7th, but I have to say that I at least tried to make moves to get to the end. It's either this and I MAYBE get 7th, or I don't do this and I get 6th absolutely and inevitably.
Now let's talk about more subtle moves. I need to change my public demeanor completely. Let's be real, I'm absolutely a** at these challenges. I don't know what it is, but I can't win one. So, I need to play it the f*ck up. Play up my mistakes and downplay my successes. Everyone needs to know that I'm a f*cking loser who can't play the game as well as they thought I could. Hopefully, that target may shrink from my back and I could provide myself a bit of longevity in this game.
I've been a flip flopping eel this entire game, but that's just the nature of the way I play. I change because the game changes. I think adaptability is the most important thing you can have in this game. Take a look at my identity at the beginning of the season. Strong, feared, almost leader of the tribe. Then, I maneuvered myself into a swing vote position where I was calling the shots by way of my vote. Then, I chose a side and took on a leadership role of the newbie+David alliance. Once again, I'm trying to get myself in a position of the middle, where I can even up the sides and then call the shots from there. My only doubt is whether or not everyone will catch on to what I'm doing.
I should've been voted out a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised if I get 7th here, but I'll be damned if I'm not in a good position if I get past this vote.
Until next time.
