Never mind it's cold outside. I am flustered. Blindsides are gut-wrenching and it's been so long.

God I hate TCs in this game. Why couldn't we just win at F10.

I am a defective and very huggable model. No burn c:

Snow said she'd be playing an idol on me. I was ecstatic, since Ma and Finny were freaking out that one of Del or Snow had flipped over. Let me collect my thoughts.

I have such heavy emotions running through me. Vented it out in my confessional but I guess I should contribute here too to clear my mind.

I played like a cherub and a clutz to most people, I think. This could be what did me in. I was repeatedly a countervote on Alto Mare and Froggy seemed to have wanted to target me on Laiun had Unown had an idol. I really thought that this would be a boon at merge, right when the Alto allies I made collided with the friends from Tiki. I was straddling that line fairly well in the beginning I feel, but my mistakes seem pretty clear to me now:


1) When I was brought up as a countervote, I shrugged it off. I just blindly trusted my allies without considering that they have their own agendas. I wanted the personality to keep them corralled around me like a fence but I truly slacked when it came to Snow. That's the worst part though. I could have prevented this! Several times!!!


2) I was on the brink of asking Snow to a F3 alliance! THIS close! I had the buildup, we were talking about all the jury threats on our tribe/us being non-threatening in comparison! It was right there and I botched it by taking too damn long. That idol she has could be in my lap right now if I didn't dilly-dally so long. I'm POSITIVE she feels on the outside of Fin and Maw. Christ.


3) Despite all our planning together, I didn't commit fully to the plan with Del, I didn't work hard enough to introduce her into the fold with Snow. I just let her cuddle in there all cozy-comfy by herself and while Finny certainly received her well, Ma and Snow did not. I should have done for her what She did for me at the beginning of Alto Mare, basically just spread goodwill.


4) I didn't stay up late. That's what kills me, and makes me want to kill myself. (Not really, but it's a rock in the gut that'll take ages to sift away) I didn't stay up late and if I did Snow would have come online to talk to me. I DON'T HAVE WORK OR SCHOOL TODAY. WHY DIDN'T I STAY UP LATE?! Props to Ma for trying her best for me all night. Finny too I think. I honestly should have put so much more trust in Ma because she is a star on earth. Finny too. They are gorgeous. After reading my confessional and seeing all those plans of eventually attacking them at five I feel it could have actually worked too. That's what a confessional is for isn't it? Confessing on how you think you'd win the game. Towards the end I got emotional and just stuck my rump out and let Pika have at me instead of fighting to switch the vote somewhere else.


Honestly I am just disappointed with myself. I got so, so, SO careless and overconfident. I even procrastinated on the PMs in that tribal council thinking we had it on lock. One of Del or Snow were lying to me though, and I STILL have no clue which it is. :c I really need to know. Closure.

WTF happened to Sky Pillar?
This wouldn't have happened if Dewott hadn't played an idol. Idols are stupid and anyone who plays one should be exiled from MS immediately.

Seriously though, I'll need a bit to read that. One thing I do want to say though is that I'm fairly sure you can't play an idol on someone else. You would have to give it to them and have them play it, and once you lock in your vote you can no longer play an idol on yourself. The latter I explicitly asked, but I'm still fairly confidant about the former.

For the record, yeah I was planning on targeting you if we had a second TC on Laiun, but I also still was serious about wanting to work with you in merge. I literally allied in one form or another with every single person I was on a tribe with other than Omastar and Zororark, and that wasn't actually on purpose. I think I already told you this, but every single person on Laiun approached me with a working with offer independently, without too much provocation.

It really sounded like you didn't trust me at all towards the end there, and that was definitely justified.

I say, as any of this matters because of idols.

Speaking of idols, standing question, does anyone know where the upper left map piece is? I found or otherwise acquired all of the other ones, and from what I can tell it doesn't actually tell us to do anything, so posting all of them was probably the only requirement there.

That helped immensely 8)


So! Storytime. I had an ALLIANCE with Mawile and Chimchar on Lunk. Also some silly dealio with Omanyte at the very end that I did not feel was strong. Deerling was a sweet person. I felt she was buddied with Ma and maybe someone else. Froggy was also Chimchar's buddy. Froggy came across as cool and calm to me and I digged that so I tried to get to know him better.


Then we swapped! And I got separated from Ma but Froggy was with me [: I FEUD'd Chimchar to try and make sure one of Ma and I ended up with him but all three of us failed. I also may or may not have wanted to try and blindside Chimchar one day. That was a pipe dream.


Laiun was lovely. I immediately connected with Finny and Snow. They were stars in the sky I wanted to catch. They agreed to work together with me! I asked Froggy if he wanted in and he said no. Froggy went with Machoke instead. That's where my wariness of Machoke began. (I just realized that the Pre-Jury can see us so this is also mostly for them too in case it helps alleviate tension or piece together anything they want to know) Machoke scared me. I wanted Machoke gone. Unown too but in a different way I feel like if I could change one thing about the game it would be not eliminating Unown he was sweet in retrospect and I feel bad about the "easy" decision. It was at this point that (ALLEGEDLY) that Froggy told Machoke told Finny told Snow told me that Froggy wanted to plop a vote on me. I didn't ask Froggy about this. I trusted Snow and Finny much more at that point. Thus I distrusted Froggy. This sounds like it is important and will come into play later but it honestly didn't hehe.


Alto Mare!! Alto Mare. What a... tepid, turgid ride. The name was pretentious but the people seemed genuine. Del in particular. Del and I clicked INSTANTLY. I trusted Del like... I don't know a metaphor. She just has a way of 'getting' you raptly that I admire. She immediately tells me that Pika and Papa Ty are the bees' knees. I immediately talk to them and we bonded well. That leaves Machoke Dewey and Spheal. Machoke, who I did not trust from Laiun, I targeted first. I'd like to SAY i did dirty work there but the snowstorm completely slapped me on the booty. Pika completely snowed Machoke into believing that I was going home due to inactivity, Spheal too. At this point I didn't speak to Spheal and all I had with Dewey was just polite conversation. Spheal leaving next was also a product of me joining the Nixtorm crew. I did not feel in too much danger, though it did reveal how little Dewey was connected. I respect Spheal immensely.


Then Eon. Eon was excruciating 8( Talking to so many people as the schoolyear started kills the lamp. I had a set plan though: Reconnect with Ma, with Snow, with Finny. Most of that was already in place, they had bonded on Tikililkklkli. All that was left was bringing in Delphox and the majority was set if we got one person out. I supported the Dewey vote, he idol voted Froggy out with Delphox and some other person, and I thought it did not matter much. We had five! There are nine! It felt sealed. Next we pit Dewey and Pika against each other, though they are too sharp for that. It appears to me (this is where I fell asleep so from now on it's speculation) that Dewey, Pika, Papa Ty and Ark came together. They nabbed one of Del or Snow. I know for sure, 100% that Ma and Finny voted with me. I feel like Del voted with me. Which leaves Snow, who sent me this PM that I read when I woke up 15 minutes before the deadline:


Snow
 
i'm going to be playing an idol on you. i got it from Froggy.

i tried to make a move against Del and Lumi. i was irrationally scared that they were getting too close. i've typed this up twice already to Lumi and Maw since they're both online. but tl;dr: i'm a terrible ally, i don't deserve your trust, and i'm essentially playing for you or Maw to win at this point. i'm sorry.

Yet I am here. I do not blame Snow for not playing the idol on me. Saving immunity for yourself is precious and a liberty. I do not know how I feel about her yet exactly. I was genuine with Snow when I told her she is still absolutely a contender to win though. All she had to do was distinguish herself from Finny and Ma, bring in Dewey/Del and me and we could have taken the game to the end since we're the bottom of the barrel.


Anyway! That's the lamp's stint. Had the vote on Pika gone through I feel like I would have either:


A) Gone to 5 people with Myself Snow Del Finny and Ma, and tried to lobby to Snow that joining Del and myself would be a good move. This would have been suggested earlier though, 5 is kind of late.


B) Gone to 7 people after eliminating Ark or Papa Ty maybe. Dewey if neither of those were possible if Finny and Ma were adamant. I feel like Snow would already interested in making a new alliance at this point because she kept hinting about how many jury threats there are... compared to us little saps twiddling thumbs in the corner.


Good luck Pika and Papa Ty, you gave me a home when I needed it most. Best of luck Ma and Finny. You are goddesses.

Idols add paranoia and stress, but I feel the mere presence of them adds entertainment value. Not to the players, but the intrigue and change they bring to the landscape of the game can't be ignored. Survivor would be quite plain without them. I like plain though.

That's a shame. I think had I woken up earlier I would have had more time to talk with Snow and convince her that I would be a loyal bean to her. Thanks though.

That's OK. I had folks and felt secure but I would have asked you to flip at 7 with myself Del and Snow if the Dewey vote went through. I shower compliments at Ma and Finny but going to the end with them would butcher us. You did say that! Sort of. I didn't know your actions on Lunk. Can you tell me about that in your thread?

Sorry buddy ): I know I've been saying a lot here but your exit was much more crippling and I can't imagine leaving due to an idol.
