Well, I wrote before about sticking it out and staying faitful in the alliance and so far I am finding that is the best route. I had some falls today - got beat up in a game or two and kicked out but due to my own mistkes, mostly.
I liked that Dreamer made up "Burn!" instead of freeze.
I also learned that some great people, like RedSoxFan and Nexus, are willing to play and not get final 3 - to sacrafice themselves in order to help their friends win. Very cool - both of you!
