And no, you can't pick yourself, All-Stars don't come in 17th or 20th (NOT TO NAME ANY NAMES)

How rude, I don't think I would ever get asked for All-Stars.

They would want to save me for Legends ;)

Some members of this jury are REALLY bitter in the jury forum.... and by *some* I think you can guess who. And I know it's a total cliche to bitch about "bitter" juries because everybody has a right to vote for whatever reasons they want, but their general attitudes don't need to be so self-righteous. It's an online game, you got lied to and voted out, big fucking deal. We all signed up for this game KNOWING there could only be one winner and KNOWING people were going to lie to us. Unless somebody is personally mean to you or ignores you or backstabs you in a particularly personal or embarrassing way, then I see no reason for people to get as butthurt as they are. And every member of that jury did something wrong to end up there, it's not like they can go around criticizing every aspect of everybody else's games with a magnifying lens like they're a Survivor expert-blogger IRL. Nobody here is Dalton Ross playing under an alias.

And I'm not saying that people's gameplay can't be criticized, I did the same when I was voted out. But there's a certain unbearable smugness that some players in that jury forum are giving off and it's starting to stink up ndim.

I am

Also I haven't read a single jury question yet but I'm gonna bet that the bitter one is Sydney.

Sydney

Those final few days leading up to my vote-off when you completely embarrassed me by pretending to want to work with me. You are no hero in my book, sorry.

Hey Sydney, you did the EXACT SAME MOTHERFUCKING THING TO ME AND BUTCH, SO YOU CAN CLEARLY STOP WITH THIS PETTY ASS BULLSHIT.

YEAH! STOP THE BULLSHIT!

However, I DO like Sydney's comparison of James to John Katich and also his preference for the OG Pokemon

I did not realize my blindside was perceived as such a big deal. Basically all that happened was that Sydney didn't like me and so she was willing to flip and vote with the Mountains who wanted me out for being the most active. Whoop-dee-doo

It was a major turning point for the Ozato girls and the total downfall for the Aso boys. I don't think that any of the Sakai people were going to go with us ever, but it was a matter of Sydney wanting to be some HBIC, and Sakai playing into her ego and maybe having a prior relationship to her (speculating). Kat says she went along with it because she didn't want to go to rocks, but it was mainly because she wanted to get her foot in the door officially with Sakai and Ki, which worked completely well.

My one major regret in this game (still, I know) is not giving Debbie money to mutiny. We would have had numbers (or I would have had numbers), and I'd have an ally on our side. Downside would be that Dana would've for sure left, but I wasn't really close to her at all

I know Sydney and I'm gonna be honest, I don't think prior relationships are a factor.

lel I know Sydney too and the ironic thing is, I was her closest ally the last time we played together

I wasn't happy about the Ozato girls turning on the Aso boys one bit, but looking at Sydneys/Kats/Danas placements, it's not like it was a terrible gameplay decision. None of them ended up making Final 3, maybe they would have if they had stuck with Aso, but that also would have prolonged the Coast vs Mountain b.s. that was the premerge of this game. By abandoning Aso to the genocide, the Ozato girls flew under the radar long enough for the game to become Ki v.s. Sakai .

The boot order of this game was still tragic though. Great cast of characters, unfortunate shakeup of the eliminating order. I'd compare it to Guatemala in that sense, (the Amy/Brian/Brandon/Margaret prejury onslaught killed that season for me, it had some great other moments but my personal favorite characters didn't end up making it far, even though I loved the season and cast as a whole).

Finale night GET HYPE

Tonight we will be free

AIM reunion, duh! Everyone come on AIM at 7:45 or so if you can :heart:

I'll be on AIM at 7:45 EST!

I'm super excited for the finale, I'm honestly happy to see any of them win. I know James probably won't, but he's pretty much the most amazing person in the entire world, (after figuring out his alias, I realized he was in my first ever ORG two years ago which was open ID and he pretty much changed my life haha).

Spencer would probably be the finalist I personally voted for, but I think that's because I naturally got along with him really well I felt like, and I appreciated his strategic game and I respect the fact that he was in the spotlight as the Ki leader the entire time but still made it to the end

Julia winning would also be totally respectable. I have to admit to being a little low-key bitter about how she handled my vote-off, but when we were talking her social game was ON POINT and she's played a very good strategic game, avoiding being a major target for elimination pretty much the entire game.
