R6: Welcome To The Battlefield

[Deleted]

These people are all a bunch of snakes. I clearly don't trust anything they say anymore. Let me remind you that I did make an alliance with Austin, Jenna, and Jimmy. Who left at TC? Jimmy did. What's wrong with this picture? Why did Jimmy leave when the majority was clearly in his favor? This whole thing is going haywire because the obvious people are going to make it to the end together, and they can all prance along the yellow brick road in their schoolgirl outfits, all cause they outlasted everyone else and THEY DID IT TOGETHER! <--- (Insert giddy little schoolgirl voices there.)

Convo with Lex The Bastard (Edit this out if it's too vulgar):

g1nger23 9:30 pm

i never lied to you
he's been scheming

g1nger23 9:33 pm
Sierra 9:32 pm
"i never lied to you bryan"

overdrive82891 9:33 pm
?

g1nger23 9:33 pm
you told sierra what i said obviously!
not that i care
she's freaking out on me now

overdrive82891 9:33 pm
cause i dont wanna be next
like its shitty to go out just so the obvious people can get to the end together

g1nger23 9:34 pm
lol
bryan
i'm not voting you out
don't worry
honestly
i was nothing but nice to you after the candice vote
and you know it

overdrive82891 9:35 pm
i know you were, it was Bella, Jeff, Candice that were all going nuts over it

g1nger23 9:36 pm
you know i was very supportive of youa
and told you to keep your head up

overdrive82891 9:37 pm
how was jimmy scheming though?

g1nger23 9:38 pm
i've just never trusted him
at all
we made an alliance and he started to betray it right away
didn't trust him at all in malaysia either
i made all of that very known

overdrive82891 9:48 pm
klein said he left 5-0, who used a nullifier?

g1nger23 9:48 pm
rupert
he was nervous

g1nger23 9:52 pm
the thing i said to you about not knowing how the vote would turn out
was the truth
i dont know why you keep calling me a liar to everyone lol
i had no idea what was gonna happen

overdrive82891 9:53 pm
cause i didnt see how you didnt know if everyone voted the same lol

g1nger23 9:53 pm
if you asked me who i voted for i wouldve told you jimmy
because at that point i was really nervous
and heard a lot of different stuff about the vote
you can't expect me to know exactly how it would turn out haha
i'm sorry
it was nothing against you
i've just never trusted jimmy
i didnt take it personally in the slightest when you lied to me and voted for candice
and i dont think you should take it personally that i voted out jimmy

g1nger23 9:54 pm
i'm not voting you out
you're not next
i've been truthful with you this whole game


He hasn't been truthful with me at all. He ended up buying a doubler and instead of saying, "I'm sorry Rob, I got nervous and had to use a doubler." He says nothing to me, but plots behind my back to get Sierra and Todd to vote me out of this game. If I am next, I'm not gonna lie down and just go out easy, I'm gonna fight as much as I can. Right now my time in this game is ticking down, and I wanna unplug the clock right at :01, just above the time I am supposed to die. I'm gonna make the most of my 1 second of fame, and I'm going to kick some snake ass.

This next immunity is a must to win for me personally, just cause I don't feel safe at all if I end up going to tribal. However, judging from the treemail, it sounds a lot like "ah, memories" from Namibia. I remember back then, it was a challenge at the double TC, so I feel maybe next challenge is both tribes going to tribal which is pretty scary too. So my thoughts are that this is an individual immunity, or if its tribal then probably the tribe with the lowest average time is immune, and even that way, we could still lose. I'm going to go all out on this puzzle if its individual, I might not beat Lex but I'm gonna try as hard as I can to come pretty damn close to it.

I need to try and stock up on the best thing possible in the shop too if I'm going to have a shot at staying. I'm going to weigh out the pros and cons of each shop item I will be able to afford, since no matter what, 5 people are voting at Tribal Council if it's double (this being based on the kidnappings during the double tribal back in Namibia.) If I afford a 3x vote, that makes me a one man Tribal Council, but...... All they need to do is nullify one of those votes, and bye bye majority. I think pretty much that would be the only thing to give me leverage.

It's amazing how fast control in a game can shift within minutes. Going into that last IC, my alliance had a 4-3 advantage over the others clearly (Danielle being the swing.) Clearly should have been a 4-2 vote out with Rupert leaving, and noooo they all vote Jimmy out 5-0 cause he was a schemer. It sucks because these guys bitched me out over betraying someone, yet they are just simply throwing stones at a glass house pretty much now.

How I see it at this point all the obvious people will get far all cause they are close buddies with one another. Only reason I am not in that list of obvious people is cause those guys are way closer to each other than they are to me. I don't wanna go out this way cause everyone wants to see their friends sitting in the finals, I'm gonna do whatever I can to go down swinging in this game, it's like yeah I'm down in the World Series 10-1 in the 9th inning. I might have no shot at winning, but I got a shot at fighting my way through the game to make it a 10-5 at least lol.

My pump up song to put me back in gameplay mode is none other than...




Eye of the Tiger by Survivor!


If these people want a fight to get me out, then it's going to be a fight alright. I'm going to make sure I do whatever it takes that I don't go anywhere. I'm gonna fight for immunity, I'm gonna fight for control of the vote. I think honestly listening to this song has revitalized my fight mode in this, simply cause to me it's a complete fight song. A classic from the Rocky films, but hey, classics are pretty good. The band ironically has the name of the kind of game we are playing lol, but this is pretty good.

I'm not going to be the prey this time, I wanna be the tiger, and I want to make sure everyone is looking into the Eye of the Tiger if we lose and go to Tribal Council.

Okay, that's better.

If you guys go to Tribal, who are you going to try to get rid of?

Good question. I think if I had to choose a top 3 of Verraad that I'd want to see leave, in no particular order it'd be:

1. Jenna
2. Austin
3. Rupert

[Deleted]

I called this challenge right down the middle, also that it would end up being a double TC. It makes me nervous for the most part cause I feel like I'm next since they easily got rid of Jimmy, but I need to work and find cracks to my advantage. I don't care anymore who leaves since the last round. I just don't wanna see the boot at this TC be me, I mean I'm packing a triple vote which is my only leverage at the moment unless someone completely nullifies one of the 3 votes, and puts me back into the minority.

I'm almost certain I'm not gonna be winning immunity over Lex, so that bit of safety is out of the question. Kidnapped? Maybe, but they were pretty much all for Jenna in their threads from what I saw. My only hope to stay alive over here is if Russell, Alina, Erinn, or Todd win this challenge cause I think those are the only ones that would kidnap me from over here cause they know I'm in danger. I don't think Kim, Colleen, or Brett would because those are the close friends and all they wanna do is make sure precious Jenna doesn't go anywhere (based on the fact they all were pretty much pro Jenna for the most part, although Brett was apathetic.) Hunter idk where he falls really, I would hope he's pro-Rob if he wins.

Colleen... Colleen... Colleen...


Basically went on a full out tirade on me saying that I am a "snake" and that I am manipulating people with my emotions, when I haven't done a thing like that at all. If the most, I have a problem hiding my emotions with people. I've never been the kind to sit there and act like everything is just peachy when it doesn't. I am glad I know now she's gonna lead a charge at the merge to get me out first if I make it, therefore I need a whole new strategy going into the merge.

I need to align myself with people that AREN'T with Colleen, and stick as close to those people as possible if I'm gonna have any shot at surviving. That's long away though, cause I still have to work past surviving the double TC before I can get that far. I do think at TC, it's smarter to get Austin or Jenna out simply so Feng loses some numbers, although Lex and Rupert want Danielle, so I might just have to play my 3x vote just so me and Danielle can get a majority going, but if I can get a way so that Lex and Rupert will target the Fengs and I can conserve my 3x vote, then that'd be great.

[Deleted]

Looks like I got kidnapped for the 3rd time in the game. I do think having a bit of safety for the rounds is a definite good thing because paranoia is like a fire: It's gonna start out slowly, then when it gets too out of control, it's going to do way more damage than it should. I am trying to retract that paranoia, and hide it in a place where it's not gonna leak out like it has been. I am putting all of my trust into Lex, because I do feel he's on the same page as I am as far as the voting goes, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm dropped for Colleen if they both make the merge together along with me. I heard they are voting out Austin on Verraad (Which was my idea to Lex because I don't want a tribe of people that are "unified" to enter a merge with all 6 of their members remaining. That would NOT be the best scenario for any of us that aren't original Fengs.), so if anyone else leaves over Austin and Jenna, then it's completely idiotic in my opinion.

The advantage of being kidnapped is that I get to watch the Fengbao TC, however, my intention now is to NOT tell anyone about what happened (as in who got backstabbed, lied to, etc.) I feel that it's a huge benefit to my game to write down what happens in my......





Handy Dandy Notebook!

Anything that I think is an advantage to my game play come the merge, I am going to memorize. I think it might help a lot when it comes to picking the right people to work with, the right people to try and target, and basically anything like that. I feel like the adrenaline has reanimated my dead heart in this game, and it's beating once again, and a lot stronger.

[Deleted]

Another advantage to being kidnapped (Thanks for being awesome for kidnapping me, Brett! ), is that I can figure out what exactly to do next round. I'm almost prepared for Jenna to be kidnapped if Austin were to leave next round, making TC be between me, Danielle, Lex, and Rupert. I really don't wanna see Danielle leave simply cause she's a vote on my side come merge, and I need my votes intact going into the merge if I make it due to Colleen saying she's gonna leave a revolt to get me out. I think that in my mind, Rupert should go, Lex would have a high chance of returning via RI than Rupert would, and plus Rupert and Colleen are a lot closer than Lex is with her simply cause they know Lex is the Bastard. I have to adjust and prepare for the situation, almost like someone would prepare for a war. I have to get my weapons ready, my fellow soldiers, and walk into the battlefield.

Anywho, I'm gonna see what notes I can take from the Feng TC, and figure out what exactly will benefit my game in the future. I do see some drama coming down at this TC, people getting lied to, backstabbed, and I definitely can say it could very well be the most dramatic TC I've ever been a part of.
