Hey Sierra!

It is true we didn't really talk to each other much at all. Usually in games that ends up being my biggest regret (and I gues especially now if I made it to the end) so it is too had it happened that way. When the initial alliance was formed I did have a hard time just immediately trusting you, only because we didn't really have much of a prior relationship. Being lied to about the Mike pretty much just confirmed the whole "not trusting" thing and that was when I I decided to do something about it.

So to pull the plan together, I essentially just went to people who I thought I could trust and would get a majority. Eric had mentioned the possibility of getting you or Zamanda out for like the entire game so I knew he would have no issue with it. I was sure that I could go to Kim given how close we are and that she was also lied to about the Mike vote. Weirdly enough I wasn't too worried about going forward to Jeremiah about the idea. I was pretty close to Jeremiah up until this point, trying to fill him in on what was going on the last round with him being a target, he was filling me in about Mike becoming the new target. I knew Jeremiah was all about taking threats out, and I didn't think he would have any particular issue with voting for you, even though you saved him the last round. I would be lying if I said I remembered everything exactly the way it happened the round involving your boot, but I didn't THINK it required a lot of convincing. I mean I didn't just go up to him and say "Hey let's vote out Sierra this round because she lied to me." I did explain how you were in good with Heather and Jerri and then in good with us, how you seemed to be able to change a vote in a matter of minutes. Then Jeremiah had brought up how Heather told him something about how she never told him he was being brainwashed, something we talked about in the group chat (and was ironic because Jeremiah literally showed us the chat log of Heather saying she thought he was before the potion round). So essentially there was a leak in the group chat and he was pretty sure that was you. 

So that was 4/9 people. After being blindsided the round before getting Erik to vote for you also wasn't too too hard, he seemed to just want to go along with anything that involved him making it further. So that was majority. However, Kim was the one who brought up telling Zamanda so she wasn't going to get blindsided. I can't speak too much on this only because I didn't do the talking/convincing myself, but I was definately initially worried about Zamanda finding out about the plan. Had she told you then everything would have gone wrong and you probably would have somehow been able to save yourself (presumably with Jerri's idol?) and take out someone who was trying to get you out. However Zamanda did agree to the plan I BELIEVE because of the combination of you mentioning at one point that you didn't trust me and/or Kim and Zamanda didn't want us to be voted out, and also because of the fact you were possibly leaking stuff from our group chat to Heather (I'm sure Zamanda can clarify but sorry if I'm wrong with some of the details). I trusted Kim who trusted Zamanda, so it luckily all ended up working out.

Obviously I didn't do all of this myself, a lot of people had to be involved to make this work. I was just the one who got the ball rolling and started to get people together to vote you out. 

Hopefully reading some of the FTC can change your mind a bit about me being a deserving winner, but I do understand it'd be hard to vote for me, especially considering out lack of much social interaction. GL with your final decision and hopefully I had a satisfying answer and MAYBE am having you reconsider your perception of my game.

I thought I orchestrated the Sierra vote so this is all news to me lolz

I mean, I went and asked Jeremiah, Eric, and I think it was Eric who had initially talked to Erik about it before I was able to talk to you at length about voting Sierra. I was fairly confident you were going to be ok with it either way, but I am PRETTY sure I was the one who initially brought it up in conversation with a lot of the people involved, so that's why I was saying how I essentially started to get the ball rolling with the whole thing. I tried to look back into my confessional to double check (obviously it's my own confessional so take that as you will) and it was me saying how we were on the same page about everything so when I brought up the possibility of voting Sirrra you of course agreed and then went on to talk about how and stuff.

Added point (I guess?), Eric was fairly close to voting Zamanda that round instead of Sierra, which would have resulted in Zamanda going instead. I then talked to him for a while and he ended up changing his mind back, to keep the plan in place.

By no means am I saying this was all me, you were obviously the one who wanted to talk to Zamanda about the whole thing and you did which ended up being extremely important for keeping trust and everything. I was certainly the most involved though out of all the finalists.
