Okay, so I just had an ICONIC game. The game started off slow, there were 5 inactives, but already I was getting votes; in the first or second round icr I got 3 nominations but luckily wasn't up for the vote. Ngl, I did overplay in the early stages - I spoke to I think 5 people saying let's be in an alliance and hinted at final 3 to a couple - Only one person was I determined to take to the end rustic_roots I was up for nomination against the person I'd wanted to get. I ran around to everyone in private messages being like "she's got POV like twice you'd have a better chance at winning against me." SOMEHOW I survived, and made it through another round before I got my first POV. I slowly rose to power and for some reason everyone just followed me and asked me what to do, before at least one of my allies turned on me. This one person had been POV three times - she had to go. I assured people that if they kept me in she'd been gone and that the person I was against was too big a threat. I survived AGAIN AND GOT POV AT FINAL 4! Iconic. So it was at this point I had to turn on my ally I had been with since day 1. She had won POV THREE TIMES more than anyone else and had barely got a single vote throughout. I took this rogue person who I was initially just using as a vote but actually became a legitimate loyal ally to the final 3, and the person who i was determined to bring with me at the start. Does this make me loyal or what?! Like I stayed in an alliance with them as far as I logistically could, but I had to ditch them at some point... thoughts?!
After a view games now I've received private messages to my account over how I played during a game. For example, during my last game I supposedly betrayed an alliance (I didn't) which ended in one of my allies getting voted out, and she messaged me wishing me bad luck in my life and other generic hate. Is it right to message people about this to their accounts out of the game? This is a social game about strategy - surely the game should STAY in the game... thoughts? #casting
In my last game, I had to backstab a fair number of players in order to get myself to the top. After the game had ended, I got a few messages from people who were angry with me for backstabbing them, as if this isn't okay. In my opinion backstabbing is all part of the game, as this is a SOCIAL game. In the first few evictions, one person - I'll call her Mary - voted for me to be evicted, albeit unsuccessfully as she didn't have the necessary numbers to put me up for eviction. Mary then TOLD me that she had voted me, and so i quickly put together a makeshift alliance to get her voted. Am I the only one thinking there's nothing wrong with this?! Mary was very angry that I had betrayed her trust, but to me this is just part of the game.
Again, in final 4 I had to betray my alliance. One person, I'll call her Alice, had been very active throughout the game and had a real chance at winning. I had won POV at final 4, so I could nominate whoever I wanted without fearing nomination myself. Alice was nominated and I chose to evict her. Although brutal, this was best for me to further myself in the game. Once again I got msgs saying how unfair this was... thoughts? Am I too brutal or do I just play the game?! #casting#bb18#survivor#backstab
