Número Octava ronda - 8
I Had a Long Ass Confessional and my Browser Crashed


"Fuck the guy who sent me a screenshot and crashed everything."

Well FUCKIN H you know how frustrating it is to type for half an hour and have Chrome quit unexpectedly???


Ugh. That. Is. Frustrating.

So essentially what happened last round was this whole thing with Liz telling people that Darnell, Lindsey and I were a pair. This caused Jeff and Lindsey to want to switch the vote onto her and you know what, I didn't think I really needed to argue that one. Liz was just as low on my bootlist than Malcolm and they are both dispensable, Malcolm for being a non-entity anti-social butterfly and Liz for being a wandering social threat. Neither being in my alliance and neither having a great relationship with myself didn't make it hard to argue either way, though I can't say I am horriblyyy disappointed Liz got out of this. I think if I am able to coax her into getting Jeff out I can use that to gain some respect and say that I saved her from another vote, once she does indeed get to jury.


Keith being left out of the vote is a decision I'm still questioning. Keith is an awesome person and I have a lot of respect for his upbeat personality and always wanting to play some games (which is something I struggle getting people to do, not just in ORGs but with video games in general) and to leave him out of the vote and see him pissed at me hurts. I'm still not positive if he would have told Liz or not, but leaving him out definitely went against us when Keith's "informant" let him in on the real vote.


This "informant" is Darnell, as he claims he apparently told Keith because no one would tell him the vote. This is fuckin stupid as hell, but somewhat understandable, and yet...I still think it was stupid. Apparently no one was telling Darnell the vote, which is freaking bothersome because I was busy with my IRL life last night and just couldn't get around to telling him at the time I would've liked. I would think Lindsey or Jeff would, but apparently they're too busy/too good for Darnell (which based on Lindsey's comment about Darnell being dispensable here)

I completely understand why she would say this, Jeff and Taj are part of the more core alliance and she doesn't have a whole ton of loyalty to Darnell. The fact that she doesn't have a ton of respect for Darnell here however, is worrisome in that I want both towards my endgame, and if those paths don't connect then it might prove troublesome. Ideally I think my boot order right now is something like:


1. Jeff
2. Liz/Malcolm
3. Malcolm/Liz
4. Taj
5. Keith/Lindsey?
6. Lindsey/Keith


F2 Ken and Darnell


I'm not really sure how I want to play that endgame yet if I do get to the F4 with Lindsey, Darnell, and Keith. I think it's very possible to get to the Final 3 with either Keith or Lindsey, but I'm not sure whether the risk of taking Lindsey that far is worth it? Keith has this polarizing relationship with Morgan, but Lindsey really seems to be okayy with everyone, though I'm not sure how okay that really is. I think if I get to end with Darnell I probably win, but with Lindsey I could see that being a lot tougher. It would also be interesting to see if either of them would take me, but it's really too hard for me to tell right now.


Puzzles are the fuckin shit, I love puzzles. I hope I can win this challenge, I think my times are really good and I have a fair shot, but I suppose we shall see.

Damn I suck at challenges lol. I should've just tried for that Majority Rules honestly. I thought I did really well here but I guess Liz just had the better drive. She did get first in every section though so you have to give a lot of credit to that.


Darnell, Lindsey, AND Malcolm not competing though? That's sorta pathetic. Good to keep in mind if I get to the end with one of them.


I'm not playing great this game but I'm definitely playing something.

[kenhoang]

Holy fuck I am pushing for Jeff so hard and it makes me feel worse every second I'm doing it.


But it's my fault. If Jeff does get out this round, it will be MY fault.


And you know what, that's fine, honestly.


I don't fuckin care if I burn Jeff's jury vote. I hope Jeff can respect me as a person because I certainly do with him, he IS an awesome person. But I can't sit along for the ride, and the go-with-the-flow strategy is not going to allow a player of my social capability to get far, I know I'm not nearly as charismatic as a Taj or even Darnell, what I am is a chill guy with a knack for strategy. My social skill is one that will keep the jury votes poised, but to win this game it'll have to be my gameplay, and not having any idols for leverage, that is all I can really do to keep things alive.

I have a lot to say about this round that I don't think I can tonight just because I'm very confused and emotional but my vote is staying the same, which has kept taj going the same way as well. I hope things work out but it will be hard.

[kenhoang]

I'm sorry Jeff
