Aight let me whip this up RQ before i wank one out and take a nap before work...
I'll start by addressing everyone who played (these are my final thoughts as of now you can compare them with my initial thoughts in my confessional thread):
Jude - Yooo we coulda been real close I feel like. I hate that you kinda didn't wanna play then all of a sudden did wanna play as soon as the numbers were against you but sh*t happens. We got the same taste in music and hopefully you get to see Issues in concert again real soon!
Cole - lmao boooy. We went out in basically the same way.. Jonas playing an easily countered idold, but someone got too cute. I guess I really deserved it all huh? I fw you heavy as a friend and slightly in games. We started out on the wrong end of things in BB but eventually we became kinda cool. We tried to take over Vevmo together but you refuse to be active on there lmao. Coming into this game I knew you wanted to work together but I knew you would have stan over me and that's all wavy, no hard feelings. I'm sorry I ruined your game tho for the sake of being a sc*nt because you really were excited about the game lol. Hopefully there's no bitter feelings when all is said and done bro!
Mud - You seemed pretty cool but I didn't really get a chance to talk to you. Good luck in life man.
Tom - Maaan.. Tom you were my first #1 ally way back in 2014 and it sucks you don't hang around the site much, but I get it. I'm sorry things had to end up the way they did because I really do fw you heavy when you're not being a rat lmao. I get it tho, you picked your side with Stan and I'm not gonna fault you for it, hopefully like you won't fault me for taking you out. Hopefully you can come back in all stars 2 and avoid Vova hahaha.
Other James - Ahhh I left you out initially but you seemed like cool people and Stan wanted you to come meet us so I'm sure you're awesome.
Dakota - Lurker ily and I'm sorry things ended up the way they did. You know I got mad respect for you but honestly there was no way I was gonna have david and Josh both on my side 100% with you in the game. I really do wish you got a chance to play tho and I wasn't expecting you to go so soon. Game sucks tbh. Hopefully you can continue being active in games if you decide to play because you're definitely A1 entertainment haha.
Jabbar - Whattup. Didn't get to talk to you nearly as much as I talked to Sammy but he really likes you so I'm assuming you're cool fish! Stay frosty.
Kristina - Daaaamn ma idk what to say tbh. You know the love I had for you always extended beyond the games. I apologize for blindsiding you not once but TWICE back to back but honestly I knew you were still hella salty about BOTA. It sucks that your game got ruined but tbh you should prolly stick to non-social games :/. Other than that I know you're a cool person but you're just way too emotional lmao. Like it really hurt me on a deep level to know that our friendship couldn't withstand you being voted out like that.. You didn't have to say all those horrible things about me to any and everyone who you'd talk to. But that past is the past. Best of luck in your future games.
Josh - Josh Ily. That day back in March when we got "randomly" teamed together was probably the best day of 2016 for me because it paved the way for me to meet so many amazing people. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't be nearly as close to David/Hanna/Jeffery/Gucci as I am right now. So thank you for always being a friend. I'm sorry I ruined your game. Honestly I really am.. And I feel like at the end of the day I did it without actually having anything to show for it. Hopefully if you continue playing games you try and talk to people a little bit more because you're personality is amazing <3
Setsu - Yo whattup man. You're a f*cking wildman and I love every minute of it. We are definitely a lot more similar than I would have ever thought and honestly if you'dve been able to tone it down just a weeee bit we coulda went far. Sucks you had to go the way you did but hopefully there's no hard feelings for our friendship
Dewie - Dewie i don't even know how or why our "rivalry" came about but it's kinda crazy. I wish we coulda worked together in this game a little more but sometimes it's just not meant to be ya know? You've definitely got sh*t figured out tho in terms of real life so keep shining bro you don't need these games lmao.
David - Maaaaaaan. David i f*cking love you haha. You've been my absolute best friend since we played TRR and I loved playing games with you. I don't even think I can coherently put down how much you mean to me in words here but just know I've enjoyed every minute of every conversation we've had. I can't wait to meet you hehe.
Jonas - You wild lmao. I know you're a cool guy underneath your game bs exterior so I have no qualms. You're a smart cat and you have a good sense for the games so keep on playing and slaying until you don't enjoy them.
Jon - Jon you're the person I'm glad I met the most in this game because you really are cool people. I'm glad we knew we could separate game from RL with us because we were both sh*tters to each other hahaha. GL being a dad fam I know you'll do well no matter what Kaitlyn says.
Stan - Stan we actually started getting to know each other this game and it sucks that things kinda went sour. I appreciate you talking to me when you did, honestly. Hopefully things look up for you and we can maintain a friendship after the game.
Delta - You're a cool guy. I'm glad we got to talk and get to know each other haha. We could make fun of Tom for being a bitter betty
. I know it's your first game and you're bound to make mistakes so I don't hold anything against you really. Keep being a good person and maybe we can link up when I come to NYC.
Sammy - Man you can be a little sh*t sometimes but I understand cause I was 18 once too haha. It's a rough world and I fw u for wanting to be a history teacher. We've got a lot in common and how knows maybe one day we can meet up at an Iron Bowl or something.
Joe - Man if you weren't setsu's partner idk if I'd be as close to you but I'm glad I was. I know things were kinda crazy for a while but I am glad I got to know you as much as I did. GL man.
Jacob - Jacob you're the person I'm glad I met the 2nd most in this game. Me and you are so f*cking similar it's ridiculous hahaha. I'm glad cole brought you here and hopefully you (And all the other rookies tbh) can hang around. You're familia as far as I'm concerned for life. Also I love that you're gonna be a sped teacher <3.
Ok.. and now for my final words:
First, I would like to thank you Nate and Dewie for both approaching me back in Aug 2014 to play in your games. I know you were just looking for people but it definitely became a huge part of my life going forward. I found ER because I was looking to watch old challenge seasons. I had never seen a season of Survivor and I feel like if I hadn't hung around and played Tonga/that one round I lasted in the UC I may not have been a part of the site like I am today. Ever since 2014 I've been almost constantly playing games and meeting people and it's absolutely crazy in my mind... Two years, 3 accounts, 4 bans... and countless friends made. It's crazy to think if not for all this I would have never met any of these people. A special shoutout also goes out to Jeffery because without him prodding me, Kenny Cole and myself probably never venture to vevmo and who knows if we grab david, josh and the crew to come over. All in all I don't want to get too crazy but thank you for the opportunities. I'm still gonna hang around the site but I'm probably done with games.
Now for the game... I came into this game with 3 rules: 1) 50/50 split of personal/game talk. I wanted to make sure that I was mixing a heavy amount of personal relationships with my game talk because I wanted to make sure I'm building friendships AND alliances. Obviously this isn't the best strategy for jury management but at that point I wasn't trying to win the game haha. 2) Never be the target of an idol play. Obviously I didn't follow this rule but I said it time and time again throughout the game... never be the one getting idoled out. Ultimately I feel like this move definitely contributed to my downfall as trying to push for Sammy ended up being my worst/last play of the game haha. 3) Have fun. I wanted to make sure I had fun and brought a lot of entertainment to this game... which I hope I did. I hope at the end everyone can sit back no matter what happens and say "damn this season was LIT LMAO". I honestly don't feel upset about how things went down or how I played. I am extremely morbid about ruining the chances of Cole/Dakota/Kristina/Josh in the game but at the end of the day it is still a game. I will apologize to them all for what I did tho. Sorry ya'll. All in all I DID have fun and I felt a lot of similarities to my past ER games on here. It seems fitting to me that I came in being a power hungry sh*tter in 2014 on Tonga and I'm going out as a power hungry sh*tter in 2016 on India.
. I know it's your first game and you're bound to make mistakes so I don't hold anything against you really. Keep being a good person and maybe we can link up when I come to NYC.
