If you told me, at the start of the game, that Rivendell would be in danger of being reduced to only 3 people (could have been 2 if we didn't win last night), I would have laughed at you. Since the pre-game, our tribe seemed to be active. Most everyone appeared to be a strong player, and I thought that would translate into strong challenge performance as well. I guess I should know that strong social game does not = strong in challenges. Take FT for example :P.

Here we are, though. A tribe of 4 on the verge of being reduced to 3. Not like I haven't had to endure it before, though. I think I was in even more trouble than this during Smash Bros. At least I feel like I am in a decent spot on this tribe despite being at only 4 people. In Smash Bros, I was in a bad position since final 5 of our tribe. The only chance I had of making the merge was convincing Lucario and Wolf that I would be loyal to them and their allies/partners so they would convince their partners to save us if they won immunity. It worked, and I had the biggest feeling of relief I had ever experienced in an ORG. I even wrote in my confessional, "I am either the next person voted out, or I am going really far". The latter happened as I made the finals and lost to Zelda.

So as I stated in my Chapter 5 confessional, Arwen was my target. I was setting it up perfectly for Arwen to be the next voted into the arena. I was poisoning Eomer's mind with Arwen distrust, and letting Eowyn know that she was being targeted by Arwen. But then we got to the challenge and Arwen took a 2 point lead over everyone on our tribe. I was too drunk to realize I was doing it wrong, and the other players helped point it out for me :P. I quickly adjusted and decided I needed to beat Arwen so she couldnt have immunity. I took the next point, and it ended up being 2-1. However, she beat me on the next one despite me doing it properly and trying to win the point. She beat me fair and square. That is when I decided that I am not going to risk splitting the points between the 2 of us just to end up losing to her in the end. I told everyone on Rivendell to STFU and let Arwen take immunity, and told her to take her time and make sure she has it right. My risk paid off when my target claimed immunity, and picked a Single Arena. The other tribes are so cracked that they were fighting for individual immunity. Rivendell came through the way a tribe should, and guaranteed ourselves the win.

So now, instead of voting Arwen, I am thinking that the smartest move for me would be to vote for Eowyn. The rings are no longer a threat to me. Arwen's challenge skill is no longer a threat to me. There is only 1 more round of voting until the next phase of the game. Speaking of Arwen's ring.. I am going to comment on that in a bit since that just reminded me. But anyway.. we only have 1 more round of voting until the next phase of the game, and I feel that Arwen would be much more of a help to Rivendell than Eowyn would be. Eowyn is rarely here, so she would have a difficult time making any bonds and recruiting people to our side. Arwen has a much better social game that could prove useful to adding to our army. She is also better in challenges, and that could come in handy in the event of Big Brother rounds. Another reason I want to vote Eowyn in next is because both Orc and Gandalf feel like they could be in danger. Eowyn should be easy for them to beat. I am SOOOO close to getting an idol.

The weekend has been really slow, but it is to be expected. Off days are always slow. I hate off days when I dont have other plans. *sigh*

Oh yeah! Arwen's ring. So last round she was telling us that Witch King would be pre-playing the ring. I knew there was a chance she could be lying about it just so we would feel more inclined to vote Eowyn and take her to the final 3 of Rivendell with us. I told my secret partner, Orc, to let me know asap if any rings were played. Orc said no rings were played, meaning that either Arwen was lying or Witch King was lying to Arwen. Either way, I would have been making the right decision to vote Arwen last round if we didnt win immunity, and she didnt play the ring. It would have been game over for me if the final 3 was Me, Eomer, Arwen, and they both had a ring. That was another thing that had been weighing on my mind when I decided voting Arwen was the safest move for my own personal game.

I think this might be the strongest pre-merge game I have ever played. Omni was the only other game where I was never in danger before a swap, but we kept on gaining more fodder on our tribe.

GaGa doesn't believe me, but I think Maxi was one of my strongest games I ever played :P

What a boring Saturday. Maybe I should go hang out with that girl that asked if I wanted to hang out. I don't know. Why do that when I could sit in front of my computer, clicking the refresh button until someone logs on? idk idk....

How about we listen to a song to celebrate the day of the week. Haldir might appreciate some parts of the music video:

Arwen dare has the nerve to ask me who my secret partners are? And then even manage to name the people in them? FUCK YOU CUNT!
