FINALS! Omg... I NEVER expected to make it to this point of the game.
I’ve wanted to join stars for a while. I didn’t know exactly when but I knew sometime during summer. I tried to join last week but failed, and I really wasn’t sure about joining this week because my birthday was on Tuesday. I decided late on Saturday I’d join on a whim.
The moment I enrolled I saw people like Nicolette, Jarst and jhelsdon2478. I knew this cast was tough, quite a few popular people. I really didn’t expect to stay around as long I did, DEFINITELY didn’t expect to make it all the way to finals. But, here I am!
Within the first 5 minutes I was added into a chat with Mahogany and TheGoodMan. We were like a core alliance/final 3 sort of thing right at the start (that lasted long lol). My noms didn’t go through the first day so I realized I started off in the minority. Slowly as things adapted throughout the game, I talked to more people, made more deals and stuff, and I started consistently getting my nominations through.
The majority of my nominations throughout this game went through. I knew I was in trouble for 11th; I was informed I was a counter and tried everything I could, talking to everyone, but it seemed as if people avoided talking game with me at all costs. I went up with the amazing TeganH and surprisingly to me, I stayed. From then on, I knew I needed to step up my game and turn the game around.
1 by 1 I got revenge on those who were behind getting me nominated. The next day, Nicolette and Jarst went up who were basically the force behind making me go up. After that, #LeXXXY and TheGoodMan went up who were supposedly my closest allies however I was well aware they flipped on me for 11th, so I nominated that pair. There were a number of split nominations towards the end but like I said, the majority of my noms went through.
My proudest moment of this game would have to be noms for 6th. Nicolette and Aquamarine were nominated for 7th and the game was divided into two; me, Nicolette and Aqua and JetsRock12, Alireza1373, jhelsdon2478 and Chips47. I knew RIGHT away that those 4 were inevitably sticking together and were going to do me vs. the survivor (turned out to be Nicolette). Me, Aquamarine and Nicolette decided we would do everything in our power to try and get Ali/Jhels up instead of us. Because me and Nicolette were 2 of the biggest targets throughout the game due to being labelled as “popularity threats”, I knew it wouldn’t be easy to pull it off. However, through strategy and persuasiveness I got Jets to flip onto our side after making a fake deal with him. (Sorry, Jets). My noms for 6th went through.
I also survived nominations for 5th which was amazing since me and the Nicolette were STILL counters. It was a split vote (I did not split, I locked in Chips and Jets) but somehow Nicolette and Chips went up.
Unfortunately I couldn’t escape the block for 4th, pretty much everyone was ignoring me last night. I thank you Tengaged so much for saving me. It meant so much to me.
This game has really been a roller coaster. It is my first stars and I’m so honoured that I made finals. I just need a final push to get the 1st place I feel I deserve. I’m not going to bash my opponents gameplay but I feel Ali and Chips were in much easier positions than me throughout the game therefore maybe had an easier ride. I worked so hard.
