Trip, I'm still pretty frustrated about the Lucy vote. I was so safe with her. rose even told me after we voted her out that she really did mean to take me to the end. i felt sick that night, she was one of my closest friends. to think that all I had to do was forward one of those messages to her, she would've worked her magic and sent you home that night, and none of us boys here would've gotten screwed over by you lmao

also side note - this really is bonsai all over again because Romeo is nowhere to be found :lol:

I didn't really screw you. You and I were both dead in the water by the time you left. I only voted you out because I couldn't get any of the options I wanted. They would have voted you out with or without me.

I saw every side of Atreyu and Rose. One of them will get my vote.

Atreyu/Rose... whichever one gets here, will most likely vote for the other. So between me and him/her... that's at least two votes Laurie is not getting.

same stance here, so that's 3. once you start reading around here, you'll see that romeo is a huge atreyu supporter. so Laurie would be wise to take rose.

O, me too. If Atreyu gets to the end, he has my vote hands down... against either of them. Rose gets my vote against Laurie.

I know. Biggest mistake of the game. I really did want to get to the end with you so the jury could let us both have it. LOL... you said I was being "dark," but I was just being honest. The two biggest villains at the end would have been epic.

And Wes, that was the ONLY round I played safe all game... because I was so paranoid. If Dan hadn't made me so paranoid, I really would have thought about making a move... but I was so scared that I just wanted to play it safe. Silly, in hindsight, since every other round was one big move after another.

atreyu would've had my vote over anyone in this game. i can't believe he's still there

i wasn't sure if you really wanted to take me to the end so it's actually refreshing to hear that from you. the funny thing is from the reaction of these guys i would've won in a landslide :lol: which is something i never thought was even a possibility. when i got voted back in i thought it was a fluke so i was just like fuck it i'm gonna raise some hell

ps if anyone's looking for music i've had this band on repeat all night. so great https://soundcloud.com/cosmonautgrechko/coloreye

I wanted to take you to the end in case they were bitter, so that even if they voted for you to win, I could still say I was the only player not to get voted out. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Plus, I really did want the drama of it. It was part of my play big or go home stance this game. I don't know if you saw my other post, but this is my retirement game, so I really wanted to create mayhem.

Look, I could have always been in your three... but the point is you purposely got other options besides me. So how do I KNOW I'm in your three when I know you have other deals? This whole loyalty game I'm hearing about sounds a lot like sitting back and hoping the same person you are telling the truth to is telling you the truth, while both of you have other options. Basically, the people lucky enough to have hoped correctly get to the end.

I think its a fine line Trip...I think you have to have a little of both. You have to have some faith and loyalty in someone but you have to be adaptable at the same time.

I placed my loyalty early on in Dan. I think he did the same with me. On New Krypton Dan was in a tight spot for most of the time. Had it not been for winning challenges he would have gone home for sure. I was not in a much better spot than him. When the other members of the tribe would ask me to vote out Dan I always told them the same thing...they had the numbers they didn't need my vote. That actually gained me more respect with them. So while I demonstrated loyalty I was also adaptable to the option that I could very well lose Dan at any vote.

The only real deals I made in this game where with Dan, You, Max and Laurie and I tried to stay loyal to those deals. Sure I had to be adaptable within that group because ultimately I wanted my best chance to get as far to the end as possible.

You proved to be far more adaptable than any of us were (except for Laurie) and that's what did us in. But where you were lacking was in the loyalty and Laurie proved more adaptable in that aspect.

If you look at the F3 I think we will all have to agree they are adaptable to options...but all 3 have demonstrated a measure of loyalty as well.

I disagree with you. I think Atreyu was highly adaptable all game. I think Rose pretty much just did what she had to do. She really had no choice. She had to vote with whoever wanted to use her vote. Where Atreyu actively sought out people to help him (as did Wes), Rose sat back and followed their lead.

I also don't see how Laurie was adaptable. Same thing. There's a big difference between setting things up and having things fall in your lap. Laurie didn't make any waves. She just didn't. She wasn't voted out because of that. But I don't think sitting around and not doing much is being adaptable. Again, I might not have seen all her moves, and if she communicated better, I might have a higher opinion of her game.

I think Atreyu was probably the most adaptable player in the game. I just don't see it from the other two.

I placed my trust in a lot of people during the game. But I was always entering from the outside... so I knew they would be tighter with each other than they would be with me. You and Romeo might be the two exceptions (and Wes eventually). I think you have a hard time understanding because you didn't survive through Jedi and you didn't enter the merge completely outnumbered like I did.
