I'm with Romeo on this one, actually. Like his game style or not, Trip made the strategically effective move to break up the pairs. Going into F5 with what looked for all the world like a tight four made up of two tight pairs... His only other option - and the one I would have taken, in his shoes - is to get to F5 and convince one or both of the pairs to turn on the other, and honor one of his F3 agreements, then force a tie at F4. It's a gamble, of course. |

I thought about doing that. But the problem with that approach is that if the pairs are too super close, than after 7, you are outnumbered and doomed. Laurie was a crossover vote. She was tight with you, but she also loved Daniel. And THAT, is bad if you want to get one pair to go against the other, having a player that transcends the pairs. |

I don't disagree. Not that what I said is what I would have done, AND that I said you made the strategically effective move. The worst that could happen to you having done so is exactly what did happen - getting voted out as a FTC Win threat, with the added stigma of being a cagey player. Your move was slightly more effective. I still would have gone with mine. |

Well yeah, and that goes back to what I said about how awesome this game is... different people play differently. You have to figure everyone out. It's such a psychological game. |

I just want to add in what I think my answer would have been on the F5 with Trip, Max, Dan and Apollo. I think we already covered it - but I was reading through some of these older threads. At that time there was a promise to Trip - but my best friend in the game was Dan, no question. Max was my big strategic stud partner that I wanted to bump uglies with every night, hee hee. At F5 I would have had a HUGE dilemma to choose between. (Your Avatar didn't scare me...) But more than likely - I would have broken my promise to Trip. And stuck with Daniel. Just being honest. We'll never know what really would have happened - and it would have caused me fits. Because I was very careful about giving out promises. I didn't ever want competing promises out there - the closest overlap was the F2 promise to Daniel and working with Atreyu - that got dangerously close to competing promises. I think I gave out 5 real endgame promises the whole game? I wasn't making deals with everybody... this time... Adrian - to F2 - after she quit Marion to F2/Rose to F3 - once they bailed on me Max to F2/Trip to F3 - once Max was gone Daniel to F2 -once Daniel was gone Atreyu to F2 So Trip - I would have had a real hard time voting you out. But I would have stuck with Dan - I'm pretty sure - no surprise there. I think the world of Daniel-san.

I had very few end-game deals this game, which I think really hurt me. I thought I could use it to my benefit - to show that once I gave my word to something, I would honor it (true in most scenarios). - Final 2 with Apollo from before the tribes were formed - Final 3 with Wes and Apollo from before tribes were formed (this lasted all of about 2 hours - once I figured out that Wes was so crazy - I pretty much wrote it off) - Final 3 with Apollo and Trip on Bonsai - Final 4 with Laurie/Max/Apollo - Final 2 with Laurie once Apollo was voted out |

It's all good Laurie. I figured I wasn't going to the end with any of you. This is why Wes became my best option.

Daniel, you're forgetting your F3 with me and Laurie. Don't be shy! ![]() My deals were pretty slim, too: F4 with Laurie, Dan and Adrian from before tribes were selected. F2 with Laurie from before Tribes were selected F2 with Wes, as part of the CRF agreement to get back into the game. F3 with Laurie and Dan F3 with Laurie and Trip F4 with Laurie, Dan and Apollo F5 with Laurie, Dan, Apollo and Trip And Dan, it's good to know I was right about your pre-tribe arrangement with Wes. The fact that he did go a little crazy was the main reason I was still willing to trust you on Bonsai... before that happened, I was pretty wary of you. |

A fact that I figured out on Sunday morning at F8. If only I'd realized that the previous evening.... |

I had a F2 with Trip and Lucy and a F3 with both. I also had a F2 with Atreyu. That was about it for me. |

I had an F3 deal with Daniel and Apollo. I had an F3 deal with Max and Laurie. I had an F3 deal with Lucy and Romeo (I don't think I ever specifically promised Romeo 2, which he pointed out to Lucy). I had an F2 deal with Wes. And I had an F2 deal with Atreyu. At one point, I had an F4 deal with Rose, Lucy, and Buttercup, but Buttercup never even really confirmed it, so I knew it was a load of shit. |

I don't think it was ever "promised", but it was explicitly implied that we would to the end together. You even gave me that long spiel at Bonsai about playing it with me the whole way and how you were approaching the game differently than usual. Ha! |
