*stands up and faces jury*
96 days ago, I entered this game unsure about myself. I got to be a captain, and picked the strongest tribe possible through Yansing. My original strategy was to win as many challenges as possible, and get as many Yansing members to the finals, and then group up to win the game. This, however, did not work very well due to the amount of tribe switches and dissolves in the game.
I really don’t think I need to talk much about the pre-merge game due to that not having much drama/effect over the whole game until the last tribe I was on, being Sgodrednu along with Danny, Michael M, Zach, Andy, and Austin G. On that tribe, we lost the first challenge there, and an alliance between Spinner, amf, and myself formed. We formed a plan that I would buy an Idol of Discord, and play it on one of the other people. Then, we could vote for whoever we wanted, and not have to worry about a tied vote. We ended up deciding on Danny (sorry) to give the IOD to, and vote out Prozach. In that time also, that was when andy bought a SAC idol, and Austin G. told us that he had a SAC idol as well. After that vote-off, we won the rest of the challenges which takes us to the merge.
At the merge, all chaos flew, with Jacob, Zach, and Keith coming back into the game. A core alliance of 6 formed with me, Austin G, Jacob, Michael P, Tyler, and Keith. We worked with the other alliance formed (I am still not sure of the people on this alliance, sorry) and Danny was the first vote-off due to the Idol of Discord, and his self vote. The next vote-off, Eli, was done in the same way. Here is when my game-playing truly started….
Once we hit the merge, I wanted to have an original Yansing final 3 with Michael H, and Mike. When my alliance targeted Michael H. I knew I had to do something. I formed a new majority alliance of Michael H, Mike, Jacob, James, and Myself. I figured since we were taking numbers from each alliance, we would have majority, and be able to take the game by storm. Luckily for Tyler (our first target), an idol was played on him, nulling our votes and causing Michael H to go home. I didn’t want him to go at all, and I wish there was something I could’ve done for that.
