Oh I was totally insecure about my game, no doubt there. I'm more than happy to get into those details with you. Honestly I can't even really go back at you and say that everything you said about me being carried is wrong. I know I was greatly helped by a lot of people to get to this point, but does that alone make me a goat or undeserving to win? It's not like the literal entirety of my game relied on other people. Again I can certainly admit to when it was, but whenever I felt like I could control my own fate I 100% tried to take that chance. That'll be addressed more in the individual questions though I think. I can certainly vouch for the fact that Eric getting DPoV'd was a pretty big reason why I turned on you. However it wasn't for that action alone, the true turning point was when I was essentially threatened to agree to an F3 with you and Kim otherwise I'd be eliminated. That put me off so much and is pretty much the reason why I vote out both you and Kim. 

As far as staying in the game it definitely was in large part to friendships, but as I've mentioned, there weren't really THAT many situations where I needed the saving. Because I was on the winning tribe in a lot of challenges, I was never really at risk to even be eliminated. Definitely a lucky break. Had we lost I'm not quite as sure as you are about me staying in over you, but it certainly was a possibility. A lot of times people are protected in games by other allies. Now I do know this is an extreme circumstance because I was very good friends with a lot of the people prior to the game even starting, but in the end it was still an alliance protecting an alliance member. I HAD planned on staying loyal to everyone who helped me out, and it wasn't until much later when I started to change my mind about that because of the events that were going down. 

To be PERFECTLY honest with you, one of the reasons why I didn't talk to you that much directly was because I felt like I almost was already through proxy because of Kim. Not even just strategically, even the most random consersations. I know this isn't an excuse and it shouldn't be, but that is honestly why we never talked much one on one and we never quite clicked. 

But anyway now to your actual questions.

1. I think prior to voting out Kim my game was pretty bad. Super early premerge I was very much around and a player. I was involved with a bunch of stuff like the formation of an idol and winning rewards and challenges such as the ambassadors one. I ended up picking the pretty much perfect tribe for my goal which was to eventually take out people working against the people I was working with, such as Erik, Yul, and Jeremiah. When I left was of course when my game started to be bad, because I wasn't really able to participate. Looking back on it I'm not sure how MUCH more I would have been able to participate anyway, except for doing more and participating in challenges. My biggest issue honestly was just not being able to talk to people. Luckily I had the friends that I had who ended up helping me significantly in the merge. When there, Kim was the one with the connections with you and Sierra and because of that I was able to hop off the sinking ship that was the Twisted alliance. Then my game essentially consisted of voting out people where it COULD have been way worse, but still wasn't an ideal situation. My plan when I got back essentially became "don't be anyone's first target." I was essentially forced into an UTR role and I had to embrace it. In our alliance chat there wasn't much I could do individually because well, it was an alliance. We had all agreed to try and vote out Hearher, and I think my first real "move" of the merge (if you can even call it that really) was not telling Mike or Eric that Mike was getting enough votes to be eliminated and that he should idol. Had I told them I suppose I could have taken credit for something, but I felt like it was so super unnecessary and stupid to do, especially after Mike had begun sketching me out. The thing I am proudest of for everything before voting out Kim was being able to try being the one to organize Sierra being voted off. Kim wanted to include you in the plan so she of course ended up telling you. 

TL;DR. Not proud of the majority of my pre voting Kim game but there also wasn't an absolute ton I was able to do in pre-merge, and I didn't really require saving at any point, even though there was a good chance it could have happened. 

2. Definitely not. Staying true only to Eric would have been pretty stupid game wise because it would limit my options so much, and he was seen as such a big threat. I think i addressed this a bit in Kim's question when talking about what I would have done had she not come back from Los Muertos. Basically I would have tried harder making the new bridges and bonds myself. I was essentially spoiled by Kim and the foundations were there by the time I got back. 

3. Did I manipulate Jerri with mind control to take me to the end? No obviously not. However I do think I am responsible for being her because of the effect I had on Jerri. Considering she risked throwing her game away to keep me, as you said yourself "not Jesuz lol," I think that does speak for how I rubbed off on her and how she grew to like me. I remember being so incredibly shocked at how much me writing my fan fiction ended up affecting Jerri and getting her to want to align with me. Yes, Jerri is the one who voted to keep me in and get me here to the finals. Also like you said, Woo was the reason why Tony was in the finals. Colby was the reason why Tina made it to the finals. I'm not comparing myself to either of those 2 winners, but just because they were chosen to go to the end by the person who had immunity didn't take away from their game at all. I do think I played a pretty good overall game despite my insecurities. I underestimate myself a lot so I try to chalk me being insecure to that and I basically pretend everything is fine and try my best anyway. Again, I don't know when to stop. Jerri definitely also played a good game, but let's not forget who was the one who finally enabled her to achieve the goal she had for about half the merge. 
Me.
So while I do think Jerri played a good game, a lot of what happened in the merge simply would not have happened had it not been for my own moves. Voting out Sierra was the first step in a long line of vote offs that got us to this point. By NO means am I saying I am solely responsible for this merge has gone, that is stupid and wrong. I'm just saying that I'm not about to let what I've done go to be forgotten because Jerri made a big move at the end of the game with a an idol and won out on immunities when she otherwise would have been eliminated. 

I'll finish you general questions by tomorrow at the latest most likely. Feeling tired and I have some marvel research to do.

Amanda Zuckerman @ 24/8/2015 16:19 Superman and Lex Luthor are D.C. My decision is starting to swing now :o for Kim, I'll go with Iron Man, who like Superman has a crippling weakness, he needs a powersource to charge his heart to keep going. Kamanda broke his heart.

And once again, oooouuuccchhh :(

OTHER QUESTIONS

1. I am absolutely crap at anything comic book universe related so I'm sorry in advance. (AND FOR THE 70th TIME I HATE I DONT HAVE COMPUTER TO EASILY ADD PICTURES OR PHOTOSHOP PEOPLE'S FACES ONTO THE CHARACTERS)

Shontayla: She-Hulk - so found out today she exists lol. The actual Hulk works too due to Shontyala's challenge strength and monstrous endurance challenge abilities. She also can be unpredictable and slightly chaotic (from what I can tell)

Michelle: Ant Man - underestimated yet still very much a player. 

Yul: Daredevil - from what I remember a vaguely controversial hero? Has all around skills that make up for a single sensory deficiency that he didn't have any control over (sometimes being blinded).

Ronnie: Thor - Captain America was used too much already lol, but Thor is another really solid and loyal hero who does what is best for his kingdom and his allies

Sierra: Black Widow - very strong player who works in the shadows. A silent assassin. 

Eric: Iron Man - leader (dunno if officially but at least in the moves it makes it seem like it) of the avengers, sometimes eccentric, but ultimately does what is best for his and his allies.

Kim: Captain Marvel - another leader and someone who tries to so what is best for their allies. Ultimately tried to go out and do his best to save his allies like Ms. Marvel.

Jeremiah: Spider-Man - sorry for not completing the xmen trifecta lol. However spider man had a lot of faces (Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and I guess all the comic stuff too) and while was ultimately trying to help people he had his fair share of changes and flips (especially in the 3rd movie)

Zamanda: Deadpool - witty and extremely controversial. Couldn't seem to be beaten or taken out until way later in the game.

Heather: Scarlet Witch - not a lot seems to be known about her except she can be fairly unpredictable. 

(I realized I didn't pick any villains. Oops)

2. I agree with Jerri that us being conjoined twins is some freaky foreshadowing. After the re-read there was surprisingly less racism than I remembered. I also had completely forgoten about the jib-jab video which was a really nice touch. I mean as a whole the story was excellent, it was obvious a lot of work went into it (and I still feel kinda bad I didn't get to contribute much). I was almost sad when the Ronnie - Mike extremely sexual relationship didn't get to flourish. 

My only bit of criticism would be the lack of plot development with Heather. Considering she was the one who wanted to kill everyone, her death was super sudden. Watching Abi just go insane was funny to read but it DID result in some very sudden ends to the characters.

But this is a creative challenge for an ORG, not a Pulitzer Prize novel contest, so I think it was still pretty top notch.
