On one hand I said I was done for awhile.

On the other I’m clearly a glutton for rocks.

Hnnnnnnnnng

/In

But I may change my mind.

[Malkon05]

I love randomly won immunities.

[Malkon05]

My sacrifice to RNGesus was not in vain.

[Malkon05]

Who knew I was so good at rng challenges!!

[Malkon05]

Good luck kdowns <3

Hello everyone,

I'm writing to let you know that today, we are going on a goat safari.

GOAT SAFARI MUCH HYPE

Today we are going to go inside of this great golf cart that I'm dubbing as the Goat Cart:

Isn't it just super goaty? Like wow, what a goat cart. Much goat. Much wow.

Anyways so once we get in this cart, we are going to go around this place known as Goat Island and explore all of the goat locations where we will see all of the goats in their natural habitat.

Wow just magnificent aren't they?

Oh fun story, Merriam-Webster actually defines a goat as "a licentious man" and licentious means "promiscuous and unprincipled in sexual matters." Wow. I feel more educated, don't you? That's just very cool to know more information about goats that you didn't know before.

WOW LOOK OVER THERE, THERES A GIANT GOAT :O

Just marvelous don't you think? It's amazing just how magnificent and majestic these animals truly are. Truly. Just wowzers. Super beautiful.

Okay now we are going to go to the beach where we are going to find more goats, but on the beach :O

Just amazing. This safari is going so well isn't it?

In survivor terms, a goat is defined as someone who is there to exist to follow a goatherd and soak up little to no votes. Wow what a random factoid about goats! Its like we didn't know this before or something. WOW.

As we round this nearby bend, you will see-

Wait a moment, what's this?

I think this goat's an impostor!

Let's take a closer look shall we?

The goat was actually a goat all along, amazing! Incredible! JUST WOW!

We not only went on a goat safari, but we solved a goat mystery today? Just great. You are really getting your monies worth from this tour.

Okay now today folks, we are going to be entering the firing territory. It's the part of the island where the goat population is just too great to handle.

Let's get to why we are on this goat safari shall we? I'm going to give each of you a gun and feel free to shoot as many goats as you can! Ready? GO!!!

Huzzah, look at all of the carnage you caused! You did it! You killed all the goats. Good job. But I think that's about time to wrap up this goat safari so I'm going to take you back to the visitor center where I will give you the souvenir rocks of your trip into the Goat Safari. Just beautiful stones that you can always keep as mementos of your journey through The Great Goat Safari Tour.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[Malkon05]

I agree, there should always be more rocks!!! This is rocksvivor for heaven's sake!!!

I think I have just the thing for you xof

[Malkon05]

Additionally however, I would like you to produce, in the medium of your choice, your best rock draw.

[Malkon05]

I have a coin. One side is red, one side is blue. You must predict what side the coin will land on. Choose carefully, the fate of the world depends on it

In honor of the last week of my life, PLEASE LET IT BE BLUE!

[Malkon05]

rocks

rocks

[Malkon05]

i have one question and it's very important.

rocks?

[Malkon05]

Malkon - What exactly happened during the round I got eliminated? I just assumed Pine forgot to vote due to extrenuous circumstances, but you make it sound otherwise.

So long story short, I had a f2 with kdowns and I wanted to ensure he didn't go home on accident, so what I did is substitute him into the process we had. So instead of me voting you, he was supposed to vote you and I was supposed to vote him.

Well I voted him and then well...he did otherwise

[Malkon05]

Wait, there was more than one person actually trying?

I see.

I mean Mist/Tris/Meme/Kdowns had an alliance called the Tryhards lol. So if that's not trying, then idk what is

[Malkon05]

serious question for malkon: now that you've been stuck on the island once again, did you lose your ponderosa hotness? or did you get even hotter?

Oh mist, everyone knows that the second time you go on, you always get island hot, and tanner for some reason. Or in my case, Goat Island hot:

[Malkon05]

I guess since someone should ask something game related:

What? No. This is a silly game, it must be a silly FTC time. What are you doing Silver?

Speaking of, gif the jurors.

Okay let's see what I can get in 20 mins before work

Will be at work the rest of the day, will respond as available.

[Malkon05]

Malkon, you already touched upon how our relationship fell apart at the start and how neither of us ever recovered it. If I made the end I would not have expected to receive your jury vote, do you expect to win mine? If not, how do you think you can earn it?

Obviously my RNG challenge presence alone should net me your vote

Okay fine, I'll be a little serious.

So the first thing is that if I was ever on jury, I would have RNGed my vote because this is rocksvivor. I never really saw this game as a super serious. This is Rocksvivor, not Survivor. So assuming you don't have a jury vote is always dangerous territory

Second, I was not part of the tryhard alliance, so if you are actively expecting me to "earn your vote" then that goes against the spirit of the lighthearted nature of this game imo. The only thing I can say is that despite not being part of the tryhards, I managed to make social bonds that saved me in a situation I should have never survived. Yes, it's true that Kdowns and Meme were always going to tryhard the tryhards and I happened to be the convenient number at 5 to do it, but I don't believe that was on accident. By establishing a close bond with kdowns with the f2 earlier, and then later on Meme who told me he needed me, I was essentially given the keys to make a deep run in this game and given I come into every non-anon with "threat status" tattooed on my freaking forehead I generally take whatever option I'm given and go with it as people tend to shut me out due to the way I play this game and my "reputation".

I took the exact path I needed to in order to survive and get to this point where I even have a shot at getting votes. Aside from my bad social game with you specifically, I don't think I closed any doors unnecessarily and did my best to try to figure out where things were falling. In addition, working with kdowns is something I've never specifically done before. Trying to work with Meme and Mist as a trio was something I've never done before. And even though it was all pulling me along because they had this meta PD alliance that I don't know how I would have reasonably figured out on my own with the information I had this game, I tried new things this game. I branched out. I stayed on top of my social game and it gave me opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise had.

If you are looking for a scrappy underdog who survived a crazy f5-f3 journey despite not being in the majority alliance based on establishing deep social connections that paid off at the endgame, I believe I am valid and worthy of being considered.

I also loved sending Meme to rocks with his own vote based on giving him Prisoner's Dilemma/Ambidex games levels of psychology at f4

Really I just had a lot of fun this game, as evidenced by my jury speech I believe. This game was always meant to be a lighthearted silly haha game and I hope it was seen that way.

I do owe you an apology for being less than...receptive the one time we talked this game and that's on me so I understand if that's irreparable, but I still feel like an apology is needed nonetheless.

At the end of the day, if you still are undecided on who to vote for, I did try to hint that everyone should RNG their vote. This is rocksvivor after all RNGesus has yet to fail me this game, and I did always like a bit of a gamble. Feel free to do that <3

If you have actual questions to ask me about, let me know so I can specifically answer them, but I believe in the lighthearted fun game this was supposed to be.

ROCKSROCKSROCKS!

[Malkon05]

Thank you to both of you for answering my serious question to each of you. In the spirit of the game, here are some less serious questions about rocks:
1. What is your favorite Rock fact?
2. What is your favorite Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson movie and why?
3. If instead of being mythical, Rocs were real, would this improve, worsen or not change the state of the world?

1. No one knows who carved the Easter Island heads.
2. Moana because who doesn't want to be singing asshole demi-god?
3. I mean having a master race of giant birds never seems like a bad thing. Pretty sure President Big Bird would approve this message.

[Malkon05]

What's the best Rocky movie?

I’m really bad with numbers, but the one where he yells adrian really dramatically lol.

[Malkon05]

That being said an argument could be made for the rocky and bullwinkle movie I suppose.

[Malkon05]

Also the rocky horror picture show!!

Gosh just so many good rocky movies...

[Malkon05]

How many rocks can you hold in two hands?

I will find out on my break!

[Malkon05]

.5


On a more serious note this and one other similarly shaped rock were the only rocks i found on a perimeter walk around my work place. I find the lack of rocks disturbing and it will be my new platform of complaint at work as an aspiring Karen! I will not rest with the unjustice of a lack of rocks present at my work place damnit!!!

[Malkon05]

Gg congrats kdowns.

Thanks d3f for hosting, I had a blast <3

[Malkon05]

Every single rock went for kdowns. Damn.

The rocks gods have spoke.

[Malkon05]

I believe I was a true winner by always being vunerable to rocks, as well as Equinox.

Robbed goddesses imo.
