I said I was retiring ages ago. I believe it was after Movie Mayhem? Since then, I've played way too many times. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not that I'm complaining. I've had fun. I broke my final four curse in your games. I won a second time outside of your games. It's been real.

But this go around, I've done something I've never really done before. I've been hinting at it for just as long as I've said I was going to retire. After having won my first game, I started to think about just playing to make the games fun, and less to try to win. And in several ways, I have done that more and more. But I've ALWAYS, at the end of the day, stuck with what I thought was the soundest strategy... the most logical move given my social and strategic situation.

That is, I NEVER became a chaos player... as much as I've been tempted to over the years. Then came the F9 round of this game.

I don't regret targeting Jason. Hell, I don't even regret targeting Miyagi. What I regret doing is targeting Miyagi before Jason AFTER having already targeted Jason. It was sloppy. It wasn't logical. And I KNEW the ramifications were probably going to be bad going into it... yet I did it anyway. I did it for fun. :rolleyes:

So there it is. For the first time ever, I became a chaos player, and as a result, I lost all control of the game and ended up in 7th place. And it's a shame, because I think I was actually in a pretty good position to go further than that. I feel like I ended my story pre-maturely, and I don't know if that makes the overall arc of this game's story line better or worse... but what I was trying to do, I think, was make it more interesting.

I tried my hardest, after realizing how things were devolving at F8, to get back into logic mode, but it was too late. The chaos I created ate me alive at F7, because Jason just wasn't going to trust me again, and he was definitely not looking out for his best interest at that point. He was either looking for revenge or just playing solely based on trust... and ignoring the glaring fact that with me gone, he was an obvious target.

I was doomed. And there was really nothing I could do about it. I don't thrive in chaos. I thrive in situations I can fully control. And when I pulled the trigger on that Miyagi vote, I knowingly gave Indiana and Inigo all the ammunition they needed to take that control away from me.

O well. I can't take it back now. I can only hope it added to the fun of the game. As far as I'm concerned, my legacy will live on in the other games I've played... because this one is not characteristic of my style.

That said, it will have to be the last game I play, at least for a LONG time. It's already been getting harder and harder to make these games work. When I do something, I do it right. When I play these games, I invest time and energy into them. And my newer, earlier work schedules, combined with the late night tendencies of these groups... well, it's been killing me. Add to that the fact that I'm going to be a father in September... things will be changing for me.

I hate to go out a chaos player. :lol: But it is what it is.

Either way, it's been a blast.
