Well that was fun. Can't say I have much to say just yet for my post-mortem confessionals but I do find this Cutting Floor twist very interesting. I don't think at this point I'm going to get back into the game though. It will depend on who else gets voted out. Obviously I'd like to see myself return but it's not up to me.

What would be your strategy to try to secure the votes to get chosen to return?

For starters I have to get them off the "Johnny hates us" train. I think I've gotten a good start on that but do they believe me who knows. It's true though I don't hate them and I even said I felt a bit bad about voting out Leia in my confessionals.

Not being able to PM and having to strategise openly is tough. You gotta do it very slyly. To start with I need to just be cordially with everyone and answer any questions they have. Endear them to me. Make them want to see me back in the game and make them want to see me succeed. How do I go about that specifically, that's the tough part and I don't really have a good answer at this point. Obviously I can't post a topic saying why they should vote me back in because they won't if I do that. For now, keep being social, keep chatting and make them love me.

Thought of an interesting thing I could do when voting outcasts back into the game. Assuming they will be eligible to be voted for even though they quit, why shouldn't I throw my votes onto Adrian and Ivan? I can't vote for myself or else I would just do that so why would I want to give votes to Maximus or Westley when they could very easily receive the votes to get back in there? If I was to vote for them and they got back in the game and then later found it I was third and the seperation was one vote I'd be extremely pissed at myself. So it makes sense for me to vote for Adrian and Ivan that way I give myself a better chance of getting voted back in. I just have to hope everyone else doesn't realize that as well...

Actually, Ivan and Adrian would both be ineligible to vote for. Only those maintaining an active presence in the Cutting Room Floor are eligible to return.

A very smart idea though if it had panned out that way. :)

It will be a secret ballot when y'all vote for two to return.

However, as stated when everyone arrived here, there won't be access to PMs.

So do me a fave: (and I'm asking all OUTCASTS this) post the two names here that you're at least currently leaning towards voting for to return. (even though you don't know who the final person is who will be landing here tonight)

Reason I need at least an idea now is that I'll be preparing a video that shows who gets voted back in............but at least having an idea of the vote numbers I'm dealing with will help me get a couple video versions finalized since I will have very little time to work on this tonight.


Soooooooooo......


Your top two vote candidates are currently leaning towards who?

Well if Lois hadn't of pulled her name out of the running I would have just thrown my votes onto her and Leia and given myself a better chance much like how I planned to do with Adrian and Ivan but since she is out I either just do two serious votes or one throwaway. I don't think whoever gets voted out tonight is really going to have much of a chance to get back in. THey haven't been out as long and talking and strategizing and I don't think the others woudl vote for them.

I'm personally hoping that wheover does get voted out tonight is someone who I connected with and would vote for myself to get back in but also be somebody who I either wasn't looking to really work with come the merge or who I was considering for early elimination. Maybe someone like Daniel?

At this point though I'm thinking I"ll play the vote straight and vote for the two peopel I'd actually like to see back in. Maximus is without a doubt the first person my vote is going to. He's impressed me with what he has said on the Cutting Room Floor and he is someone who I would like to go back into the game with. My second vote will likely go to Westley. My only problem with voting for Westley is people are not going to trust his ass come the merge and they'll just see him as the chaos player once again which makes me consider not voting for him and instead giving my vote to Leia because I'd rather go back into the game with Maximus by my side as he will be seen as more of a rational player and people will more likely accept him coming back than Westley. On the other hand, if I'm back with Westley he will undoubtedly be targeted first because he will be perceived to be so chaotic and a lone Outcast may be seen as less of a threat so either way it is something to consider.

But for now, my votes look like they will be for MAXIMUS and WESTLEY which is probably what everyone else is saying. Honestly I feel like those two plus myself have the best chance of reentering the game and succeeding. Leia has shown that she does have a brain but she blames everything on the jedi tribe for her being gone but girl, you gotta remember that communication is a two-way street. You can't just wait for people to message you and then only send messages on challenge day.

Well. Looks like I wasn't the only one who thought about voting for people who wouldn't get in so that I had a better chance but unfortunately I didn't follow though with it. Oh well. Best of luck to Maximus and to Westley. I think Max has a better shot at the endgame than Westley does but we'll have to see how it plays out.

Seriously? Awww damnit. I knew that was going to happen if I voted straight and voted for Westley and Maximus! Well. There's always another game I suppose.

Actually, it was mainly due to one player changing their mind. This person was dead set on voting for you and Maximus. I have no idea what changed their mind. They seem to be unaware of how much trouble Westley got himself into in the beginning of the game.

You're killing me Brobst! It would of had to be Lois or Leia. Juliet was here long enough to really get to absorb everything. Blah. I hope they say something explaining why in the next few days for me to read once the confessionals open. I was soooooo ready to go back in. I just hop they didn't vote for him because he was saying he could cause chaos if he went back in because if you truly want the Outcasts to succeed you don't want chaotic people to go in there because they'll just get thrown back out quickly. Blerff. Nothing I can do about it now though.

This is all revenge for the Brobstybear nickname isn't it? ;)
