Comparisons....Wonderland TylerI was in an originally horrible tribe, but the constant switching ensured that things would change. Pre-Merge I tended to follow. I wanted to be right in the middle in terms of how people saw me. I wasnt inactive...but I wasn't the alpha male of my alliance.
I was able to adapt when tribes/allies changed. I survied a TC with three original Cheshires, and didn't even get a vote. I knew from there on out, I had a decent shot on making it to the end of the game. When it came for merge time, I knew I had my allies, but I also knew anyone was disposable, and that my main goal was to bring Chuck to the F2.
The jury did not respect my gameplay, but more importantly....they dis-respected Chucks even more.
I think I was mostly honest...sometimes ruthless, and always personable.
Asteria TylerI can remember seeing my original Ovambo tribe and thinking "Well, I am screwed." I was a former winner, and the rumor was that Lew/Val were out to get all those high placers. I knew I woud have to make my alliances, and make them quickly. From Day/Year one, Matt and I have been extremely close. I have never hesitated to tell him anything, and I don't think I ever will.
From the beginning of the game I started to notice something quite funny. Katie/Patrick barely spoke a word to me. I know we werent supposed to talk about game, but they werent even talking to me period. It was a strain to get either of them to utter more than a couple of worded responses to me, and it really started making me quite sad.
Finally, our tribes met, and it seemed like a Katie/Pat explosion of conversation. It seems like just recently I have put 2 and 2 together to realize that Katie and Patrick may very well be playing me this whole time.
If that is the case, I feel no sorrow voting out Katie/Patrick out next.
If not, I will still make the moves I have to because THAT is Survivor, and that is something no one seems to understand in this game.
I am an individual playing this game the best I can, knowing I am going to do whatever it takes to get to the end of this damn game.
I probably have a bigger target on my back than anyone left, and maybe anyone that started. I have survived *7* TC's. (6 of which were in my OWN 10 person tribe). I have made it this far and to throw it away for what? F3 to Katie and Patricks F2?
? No way.
If they cannot both understand that I am doing this because it is a game, then I guess our Friendship was never that important to begin with, and I am better off knowing that now rather than later.
This was intended to be a gameplay comparison, and it has turned into a rant. I am sorry...but I had to get all of this out there. I feel like people are playing the friendship card, and it is really pissing me off. I have been blinded by it before now, but no more.
This is Allstars, and I am playing like it.
