SO this has been an absolute clusterfuck of a Stars and I went UNNOMINATED as a former winner; I've come so close to accomplishing this many times in my past Stars and I can't believe that this cast was so blinded from the control I ended up having over the game that they never managed to get me up.
To give a quick little gameplay synopsis, after being courted by both original sides of the house on day 1 I sat back and forged some close relationships/alliances with people like damo1990 , wwemrpeeps ,@ Sashababy2010 and Halloween. I was able to capitalize immensely off of the impending war between Halloween and Bamold1999 who had both been on my side to start with, and while I eventually got turned on & countered by Bamold, afterward I helped create the NEW majority side and was able to protect myself as a target for the next several days.
The ensuing power struggle between the two sides raged on around me until my biggest move at noms for 5th. I knew that Damo, who had been effectively my closest ally, would have to come for me that day - and in this cold war, despite his better connection to Thumper91 the whole game, I managed to do the unthinkable and NOT ONLY convince Lauren that I wasn't nominating her WHEN SHE HAD BEEN LEAKED THE PLAN, but also convinced Will ( Survivorfan37) to turn against his closer ally Damo on the pretense that Damo would let him go unnominated if put up for 5th; this was for sure my biggest move as this was both convincing Lauren to essentially put herself on the block, while also convincing Will to effectively get himself up for 4th, as I had a feeling I could convince Damo to keep me safe - and he did.
Lot of rambling, I know, for a game there's almost no chance I'm going to win, but regardless of how it shakes out this was an amazingly fun game and certainly the best Stars game I have ever played. No hard feelings coming out of this game, it was an exhilarating week, good luck Thumper91 and jason_2_12 , and thank you to those who have been cheering for me from outside the house, it was a HUGE motivation to keep surviving.
TL;DR: I went unnommed, played hard & shrewdly and and was able to convince people to basically sign away their own games for me, pls vote my betty spaghetti hair ass.
