[xofelf]

Sorry doll, they already gave that seat to me.

[D3f3nd3r]

You had the 1000th reply to the thread. Is that not enough?

[chesskid3]

never enough

[xofelf]

I also request torchwalks. Whether it's an officially mod sanctioned thing or not, I insist on an attempt.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

*spends more time on torchwalks than FTC speech*

[chesskid3]

mist needs to do a torchwalk

[xofelf]

Combine the two clearly. And I didn't say it had to be before or after the speech. Just should be a thing :3

[Klick]

dammit I have an hour and a half to work on my torchwalk

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Combine the two clearly. And I didn't say it had to be before or after the speech. Just should be a thing :3

I'm going to go see Paranormal Activity then Olive Garden, won't be home til ~10ish
I surrender FTC <3

[Klick]

lol whoops ignore this

[Cephrir]

I surrender FTC <3

Anyone who says this doesn't deserve to be in FTC <3

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Neither did Susan, right?

[xofelf]

I didn't say I was giving up. Not caring whether I live or die in a game is completely different from saying fuck this and not trying.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

I didn't say you did, I just meant people shouldn't judge whether someone deserves to be at FTC or not, definitely whether they deserve to win, but not to be there at all. Especially since I wasn't serious. <_>

Edit: Basically I care a lot about this game, but I think Klick deserves to win a lot more than I do, because he's the reason me and Mist are even here. I'm not saying fuck this, I'm saying I don't deserve to win.

FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL

It's time for the Final Tribal Council for this game. Here's how it will work.

The three finalists will each post an opening statement. This will be due at 5PM on 1/5.
The jury will then ask questions to the finalists. This phase will end at 5PM on 1/7.
The finalists will then answer the remaining questions and post a closing statement. This phase will end at 5PM on 1/8.
The jury will then make their vote. All votes are due at 7PM on 1/9. If votes are missing at this time, we will ask the players who didn't make Merge, in order from last to be eliminated, for their votes.
Before the end of the voting phase, the three finalists must post a Torchwalk. This will be done in a QT which will be revealed at the end of the game.

Opening statements can now be posted, and the torchwalk QT is going out.

Hey guys! Final Tribal Council, woah didn't even think I would make it here! But I still really don't think I deserve to be here! But still, the point of the game was to have fun, and I did just that Now, I know I am probably not winning considering that riveting quiz challenge! I understand how the jury feels, but what's the point in making it to Final Tribal Council if I'm not going to try, right? In the beginning of the game, I tried talking to a few people, spread my branches, you know. And when I approached Klick for an alliance, he agreed, and also threw in the idea of a four person alliance with CC and Mhork. I really liked the idea and was all for it. I put my entire faith in this alliance, and when we all ended up on the same tribe, I knew it was not going to fail. Due to tribe dynamics, we ended up also pulling in Xof and Chess, which was exciting! During merge, it was sad to see Mhork go, and I feared I might be another person they would cut off to make it far, but I kept my faith with the alliance. I talked to new people on the other tribe during merge, hoping to make a few more connections; Nyalite and Mykonian were a few that I had wanted to make an alliance with. But Klick and CC were pulling full force into this game, and I knew he was going to go far. I didn't want to throw off a great alliance and make a big move, so I sat back while others called the shots. I know this might be seen as a horrible tactic and I can be called a floater for my moves. And you are right. The last part of the game was a blur, and I really never caught up with it. I got too relaxed sitting in the back, riding my alliances coattails and just went along for the ride. I ended up in a Final Tribal Council, something I have never been able to say, even if I speculate I was only placed here to funnel votes to other people. So none the less, thanks CC and Klick for bringing me here and thanks to everyone in the game for being cool and awesome to talk to and a final thanks to the mods Snakes and D3f for pulling this adventure! Running a Survivor game to its completion is difficult, and I applaud both of you! Plus, it was very fun and enjoyable :3

Now, ask away

Hey everyone! For my opening statement tonight, I'm just going to give a rundown of how I got here. I may not remember every detail correctly, but this is the story from my point of view. As the game started off, I was unbelievably paranoid, because I wasn't familiar with around half of the cast list, and there weren't even tribal lines drawn at first, which is my worst nightmare when it comes to Survivor (sans random unexpected immunity idols).

My strategy from day one was to do the only thing I've been able to do remotely successful at in the past: make a Final Two deal with someone I know won't see me as a threat, won't turn their back on me, and will always be seen as more threatening to other people than I do. That plan carried me to the Final Four in Summertime (first with Mhork, who was taken out instead of me after tribal swap, then with Kloud, who was voted out one TC before me, after which I just hoped to win the last two challenges which clearly failed) so I figured with not knowing a fair share of the people in this game, I might as well try to do it again.

In the first few days, I proposed to Klick an alliance of him, myself, Mhork, and Mist, mainly because I had faith that the latter two would trust us unconditionally and would be the least likely to flip if anyone outside the alliance taunted them to. Klick told the idea to Mist, I told it to Mhork, and everyone was in agreement. I planned on proposing a F2 deal to Klick, since he fit my criteria of being more threatening myself while also being trusting of me. However, he proposed a F2 to me before I could ask of him the same, and I happily accepted.

Klick played a huge part in setting up the tribes in our favor because of his connection to TBO, so that played a large part in our very relaxed tribal phase, which mainly consisted of relaxing and making sure no one was plotting against me. The first two TCs were almost unanimous, since no one had talked any game with Bananakai or JDGA, and somewhere along the way Chesskid established a F3 deal with Klick and myself, and Xof pulled me in for an alliance of her, TBO, and Klick, to continue onwards after merge. Naturally, Klick and I got everyone to vote for the one person we weren't aligned with at that point, PEG, with little debate.

The last pre-merge TC was the hardest for me, but due to the fact that Klick, xof, and I considered Mhork the most likely to be swayed by someone from Taino to go to their side, he became our saddest elimination. I was surprised the Mist didn't flip out completely at that point, since she'd basically just been voting with our 4-way alliance, but she trusted us to stay with her, mainly due to Klick's reassurance, and then merge happened. Aka the time when my leeching strategy went into overdrive!

The post-merge game is such a blur in my mind, but it started with the xof+TBO alliance pretending to form an alliance with Nich and myko planning to vote out Nya, before turning on Nich and myko afterwards. However, Nya could tell she was in danger when none of her former tribemates were talking to her, so we basically just decided to flip then since we could get Xalxe's vote due to him being on the outs of the Taino tribe, along with Chesskid and Mist both looking to Klick and I. We planned from the F10 to reach a F4 of us, Chesskid, and Mist, so therefore, we voted out Nich, hoping that Xof's lack of a Nich would cause her to attempt to align with Nya.

However, xof quickly got past her anger at us voting out Nich due to her planning on voting him out soon anyways, but TBO wasn't happy, quickly trying to vote out me as shown by a conversation xof sent me! Therefore I tried extra hard to win a challenge, and I succeeded, although it wasn't needed since we had enough people on our side to get TBO out before he could gain any more power.

Everyone was okay with a Xalxe vote at F8, which is basically where Chesskid, Mist, Klick, and I continued Tribal Council by Tribal Council, voting out whoever would be most likely (or most successful) at getting Chesskid or Mist to flip. Mist was closest with myko out of everyone outside the alliance, so we took him out at F7, and xof had influence over Chesskid, influencing us to vote her out after that. At F5, we just had to hope Nya didn't win immunity, and Klick succeeded in that due to myself being terrible at challenges. But there's some redemption in the fact that I aligned with Klick for that reason.

At F4, I told Klick that I wanted him to win the game, and if Chesskid or Mist won immunity at F4 and tried to get one of us out, I would have made sure that I got voted out instead of Klick. But Klick won immunity, so Chesskid went without a fight.

In conclusion, me and Klick made all of our plans together, he just carried most of them out while I remained non-threatening. The main edge I have over him is that in the case of anyone trying to take us down, Klick appeared more threatening than myself, and I was never in danger of being voted out due to there always being someone else that was a bigger target. You may call it coattail riding, but it was entirely intentional, and I never felt doubtful after the first few days.

Survivor Bahamas must have a really good tailor to accomodate all these people riding on coattails.
