Why would that be a problem? I am sad he got voted out? I didn't say I HOPE YOU BEAT KANO I said Good luck in the duel, and it's true. Liu Kang was a star.
I can bet money that Kano is just jealous cus he thinks he was one and he wasn't.
This is exactly why I posted what I posted. In my confessional, I had people showering me with praise. Excuse me for expecting to be given that same praise. The fact of the matter, in my very biased opinion (but you are too, so I'm allowed to be  ), I wrote some of the best confessionals of my life. I was probably THE strategic mind behind Vintage as a whole, considering that I was the glue of the tribe (this statement can't be argued; Raiden/S-Z/Scorpion considered me in their group, as did Johnny/Liu/Sonya). If anything, I was the Marty of this game. A little bit cocky, smart, slightly delusional. I'd probably get the same edit as him too. I wouldn't call Marty a SUPERNOVA, but he was at least a star. You can't deny me that.
To be fair, in many ways, I was getting equivalent treatment -- from my perspective, it looked like I was more or less the glue of original Vintage as well. So there's probably a very comfortable middle between us, which also happens to be full of lolwut targeting thanks to us not being deranged lazy shtick players.

he really hated your guts on my last day. To the point he had come up with this elaborate plan to blindside you.
HAD I KNOWN you were going to be a lying bitch and rat me out to Johnny I would have explored the option more with him. In the end I think you got caught playing both sides?

I didn't consider anyone in my group. I had lost alot of trust in Raiden after the first switch and then when I got back to Vintage you all were acting weird. It was a shock to me that you had become the "leader" of Vintage. That was the most WTF thing that struck me upon my return.
And I never had a chance to be with Subby again so I felt really out of the loop. But I knew I would be next...and so it was.

Finally, some things that I want to address in this thread:
The YOU ARE HILARIOUS thing was actually strategy. At that point in the game, my main goal was to not be labeled as a strategic mastermind (which is pretty tough to do when Liu sends regularly short PMs, Sonya barely PMs, and Johnny doesn't PM at all). I figured that the best thing for my game to do was to appear a little bit unhinged. When I started publicly attacking Peach, it wasn't because I hated her (to be honest, I wanted to fan her about RH, but I couldn't because she was the enemy); it was because I wanted to appear less gamebot-y and stoic. People don't take OTT players seriously, and I wanted to lessen the extent to which I was labeled a threat as.
As far as the hosting styles are concerned, I'll admit that this game deserves flack for it. The typical cohost fleet for these games is extremely transparent about who they like and who they don't like, but look at who the main host is for most of the time: Blondz. Blondz is one of the most emotional people in the world ever, and she'll admit that (and she has in this thread). Considering that Blondz hosts a game practically every two months or so, these people are used to that kind of postitive attention. They're conditioned to speak their minds - they see a main host do it all of the time.
However, I don't think that you all (the cohosts) can be flaunted for it. While there is a certain... ThaiSu-esque (will I get in trouble for mentioning his name? eek) mentality going on right now where everyone is freaking out about how biased these hosts are, you knew exactly what you were getting into with this game, and you shouldn't be surprised at what's going on. Furthermore, I don't think that Sareena is being the devil that you all are making her out to be. It has been her schtick through this entire game to be awful. I view her actions towards Mileena (whatever they are, I don't care to read them myself) as merely a part of her character.
Of course, Goro said it best: ME KNOW WHAT ME SIGN UP FOR. And I'm basically rehashing the eloquent one's post a few pages back. 
I'd also like to thank S-Z for his kind words. I grew really fond of you during our stay in the game, especially on nuVintage. Your PMs were always a pleasure to read, and I'll always say that they were the perfect length. Thanks a ton for sticking up for me when you have randos tarnishing my name!

I was desperate for us to be reconnected, but I felt like if we both made merge, we'd have been separated for so long, you might've been in a very very different place mentally. Same with Raiden.

:lol: No by that point I was so pissed off with Lucario/Goro/Raiden I was ready to go back.
I THOUGHT going back to Vintage the second time would save me somehow. Lo and behold I went out the next day.

I actually really, really hated you in the beginning. Like, you shouldn't read my confessional because I harped on you quite a bit. I felt like you whole act was very forced - you would go out of your way to intentionally alienate players on our own team in public (such as saying that you couldn't wait to vote out Reptile, or telling Goro to shut up). There's a difference between natural bitchiness (see: Johnny) and forced bitchiness (see: Peach, who isn't even that bad when she isn't trying to be OTT). You were very forced, and as a result of that, I found you to be rather off-putting. Not to mention, your PMs were too short for me to handle.
BUT, on my last day with you in the game, I was legit trying to save you. I actually felt like we connected those last couple of hours prior to the double tc, and I enjoyed you for the first time ever. That's when Cyrax told Johnny that Johnny was being targeted by you, and then Johnny told me that I might even be in danger. Shit was hitting the fan, because even Liu was accused of being against us, and I felt like the best thing that I could do for tribal unity (especially with the merge coming) was to get everyone to buy immunity and send you out. Sorry

It's because of the way you and I talked the entire game right up to the second swap that I'm in complete shock at the outright hate and bile getting thrown your way. The Kano I saw the entire time was a fantastic player that deserved better than to be cocksmacked in the face by this game and I will stand by that statement.

I love that that was your reaction with the second swap. :lol: My first one was "fuck" when I saw the tribe breakdown. The second one was "FUCK!" once Goro retarded his and my games down the toilet. I was praying for merge so much, and it made me angry that I was fucking up that last double-boot challenge for the first 10 minutes and had the potential to win and not get taken out with crap.

Some clarification is needed on what I said about the hosts, eek! 
Basically, for every one game that T18 hosts (who is a great host, probably one of the best - he's also stepping up his challenge originality this season, which I lurve), there are three Blondz games. The same "clique" is part of the cohost fleet. They see how Blondz acts in her games, and they come into this game and act the same way. Monkey see, monkey do.

I just wanted to be away from Lucario/Goro more than anything. That whole day of the swap I had just been fuming because they were such idiots. It was getting harder and harder to bite my tongue and I was on the verge of snapping.
Had Goro not gone out like he did I don't think anyone on my tribe would've been so quick to buy Immunity. It was a clusterfuck of wrong events.

Goro can back me up on this, but I think that you might've been screwed anyways . What we were hearing on nunuVintage was that the alliance was Jade/Lucario/Mileena/Goro, and that they were going to vote for you as a whole. Goro just fucked himself over and delayed your elimination by a round.
