Actually Tom, I would sometimes say would tell him who we should plan on voting out. I think everyone seems I am under his shadow. And I can't blame ya because he played the game near perfect. But in all honesty, I would make the decisions as well. You can even ask him. But yeah there was a reason why I didn't contact you guys. I didn't know who was with who and what was going on. Again like I said I really had no control because the first challenge ever I really had no oppurtunity to say anything. I was gonna start my alliance after that but I was voted off. And when I came back, I was alone and didn't know what to do. And the only thing I could've done was to safe my butt by winning challenges. And probably the main reason why my social game sucked was because of my pride. It was 100% my pride. And I don't blame anyone but myself. That and I didn't know who the f*ck was with who. I found out who was with whom when Briq told me and James told me everything after he got eliminated.
But yeah my pride stung me in the a** in the end I guess.

But yeah my pride stung me in the a** in the end I guess. well this will be fun, because there's some votes that I am sure are not decided and this can help Who lead the way on each of the vote outs from me to Azri (who was Briq obvi), you can each fill this ballot out with either Briq or Vova next to each name 9. Tom: 8. James: 7. Cloudy: 6. Bryan: 5: Major: 4: Kennyfan: 3. Azri: Briq

Well Tom if you want the truth, we both decided on who would go next. We wanted the strongest players out after the merge. And one by one we decided who it'd be.

This game was an absolute dumpster. Vova's return ruined any resemblance of integrity that Nate has ever had. I feel sick just participating in this atrocity on forum games. I don't even know what to say at this point because this game had such potential but it was ruined by Nate's agenda of making sure Vova had a safe spot in the game. I'd wager he was spoonfeeding him idols like he was a child. I petition a removal in Nate's moderator status as well as his hosting status. Dusty for host of next season.
In all seriousness, this was an amazing season. I'm really glad that I took the time to be a part of it and am glad that I made it too at least the jury so that I may continue discussing the game (and discuss we did in Ponderosa). Great job in hosting Nate you really are the best host on the site when it comes to player experience. You take a game that isn't as historic or looked forward to as the UC's and make it fun for everyone involved. Shout outs to you for being a great host. At first I was upset about Vova coming back, but eventually you have to move on and I did. I joked about it from time to time but it's all in good fun.
Now to the 2 remaining survivors. I want to start by saying congratulations to you guy. You might not be the 2 most deserving players in everyone's eyes, but you are the 2 who made it to the end and for that you really do deserve to be congratulated. I guess I'll take a page from my friend Tom's book and do my first impressions and then my impressions after reading through your replies to the other questions laid out in the thread.
Vova: Good lord where do I begin? When the game first started you and I were very new to the site. Most of my interactions with you were in the Chit Chat thread and I felt you were overly annoying. Because of this I didn't seek out an alliance with you immediately. When the game began I made the effort to reach out to the people who I thought would be the 5 strongest players, along with the people who I wanted to work with the most. I never thought Bryan or Kennyfan would be strong players at the beginning, and they proved me wrong to an extent, but they had been on the site long enough that I felt like they would be good for an alliance. I decided after making the alliance I would just pick off the strongest competitor without immunity every tribal council. You happened to be that person for the first tribal. You can ask anyone who was a member of the Alliance, I petitioned very hard to get rid of you because I knew that if you were allowed to play the game under normal circumstances (I.E allowed to have a legitimate attempt at a social game) you would be a threat and I didn't want to work with you. The plan went through without a hitch (and let's face it we convinced 5 people to vote you over the inactives, that is a great move). When you came back I was less than thrilled, but I told Tom that we should focus on taking you out in a tribal as opposed to openly being upset about it. If Tom had not been so publicly outraged I feel like you might not have known you were such a big target. You would have had suspicions but would not have known for sure. Obviously it's irrelevant with Briq telling you the inter workings of our alliance, but I digress. Throughout the game I respsected your use of the HII, the first few times. Once you used it for the 3rd or 4th time I began to question how deep your strategy was. You were one dimensional, which in my opinion was not a way that a champion should play. This was the biggest strike against you. I have never thought about my FTC vote being based off your return, only off of your gameplay which I felt was poor. I tried to work with you, even putting my game in jeopardy on the Kennyfan vote, and was going to take you to the final 2. It was mostly for the same reasons that Briq brought you. I think it's obvious to everyone. I really couldn't see anyone who I would vote for you over when it came down to it. I felt a certain obligation to my alliance members and just felt like your game was too weak in the outwit and outsmart categories to be deserving of a win. You played an alright physical game, but you didn't really win that many immunities if I remember correctly.
Briq: When the game began I came to you for an alliance because I felt you would be a strong player, and most importantly an active player. I'm glad I picked you up because while I was in the game you helped me make my way as far as I did. The biggest issue I had was you was that you were not a big decision maker. You seemed to just do whatever it is I told you during pre-merge, without any question or thoughts. This made me feel like you were a floater of sorts. You seemed to be the odd man out of the 5 of us because Kennyfan and Bryan teamed up and it's pretty obvious Tom and I had final 2 plans from an early point in the game. I really don't know what else to say about you from before I read the thread. You rode the alliance as far as you could and won the most pivotal immunity. You had secured my vote pretty early mostly due to being a member of the Mafia from day 1.
Obviously my opinion has changed a bit but the overall opinion has not really faltered. I do want to say you guys are both great guys personally and I'm glad I was able to get to know you a bit better. Just remember no matter what this is only a forum game. Nothing I or anyone else says should be taken personally because it's all just analysis on the game itself. Now for my post read opinions:
Vova: Not much of my opinion changes. I was going to take you to the final 2 forreal and I don't think I ever actually lied to you about any of my votes. So there's that I suppose. The information about you working with Briq raises your social game a bit for me, but it benefits him in the exact same way. Knowing that he gave you an idol doesn't really deter my opinion on your idol game. I still feel that it was an extremely easy game to play and that you were actually helped by being such a big target (and Briq deciding to save you, and the Mafia deciding to flip). Both of those situations saved you in this game as they were rounds where Briq and I had idols respectively. Regardless, you made it to the end so I guess there's that. I really don't know what to say at this point. Your game was subpar, maybe around a 5 out of 10 in my opinion, but it's just my opinion and I've seen you argue against my opinion in the thread so I really don't think we should debate it any more. Once Ponderosa opens up you can see more of my thoughts on your game play. (We discussed you a bit after I finished trashing Cloudy's game). Also to include you taking sh*ts.. I mean idk what to say about that. You should take the game a bit more seriously, especially when your a** is on the line lol.
Briq: This f*cking guy. I claimed up and down that I had the best game hands down and lost it for myself by being sloppy. You come in and tell us about how you orchestrated everything post-merge and almost single-handily won the game for yourself. Bravo my friend. You played beautifully. You broke some promises and blindsided some friends, but that's survivor. Just take a look at the F v F season and notice how Ashely who made a bunch of deals and broke them still overwhelmingly beat Dewie who played a honorable game. I don't take any points away for your blindsides, but I did blow up the Mafia's game to Vova when I left : ^ ). Obviously since you were working with Vova so it didn't make any difference haha. Your game was great and I'm glad a member of the Mafia is sitting up there preparing to take the win. Great job.
As far as questions go, the thread was started while I was at work so most of the questions I had were asked fairly early. So I'm going to ask some general stuff that isn't really important to my voting for one or the other.
Both: What was your biggest move in the game socially, strategically, and physically? Besides the two of you, who was the strongest player in the game in your opinion? Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck?
Vova: Why did you chose to work with Briq over someone who you could potentially beat in the final 2 (i.e Azri/Cloudy/Major)? Why did you lie to me so much I thought we were bro's rq : ^ ( ? Tits or a**? FMK: Nate, James, Azri?
Briq: I think it's obvious that we all knew that all 5 of us couldn't make it to FTC, when and why did you chose to go with Vova over another member of the Mafia? Do you believe in Magic? FMK: Tom, Kennyfan, Bryan? Did you change your avatar to a picture of the GOAT when you knew that you would soon be ascending to your GOAT form?
I know my post is kind of late and the party is dwindling, but I wanted to get my stuff out there : ^). God bless. Also Nate if you decide to a Rivals type seasons of Survivor let me know so I can not sign up so you don't stick me with Cloudy.

Yeah I have said it to Nate privately, but I will say it publicly, I had a lot of fun playing, and of all the ORGS I've been in, this is the best by far, mainly because of Nate, he did make one mistake that I will never get over, but all and all, a fantastic job and I'd love to play again sometime

Ok well we will just agree to disagree on how good of a game you played... neither of us are budging, I'm just telling you why I thought you played a bad game. And yes you had a very wild journey, but I think that had you played your cards better you'd have a chance to win. You saw Cloudy say "vote switched" from briq to you during FTC. It's just the way you carried yourself. Don't think that you have no chance to win because everyone had a personal vendetta against you, that was true for me, but like you saw with Cloudy some people just didn't like the way you have acted and didn't play a good game But whatever, good luck Can I ask you a question? In what way did I play a bad game? I mean was it my social game? Because that was my weakest point and I'll agree with you there. When I say a I played a good game is by challenge wise and idol wise. And Tom, Cloudy called me a goat after he was eliminated. So I kinda had a feeling he was more towards Briq lol Well you are still a goat obviously. Just look at the final tribal. Every single jury member is against you and that is the sole reason Briq brought you to the end
