This is a little bit more rock operaesque, but enjoyable IMO! I don't venture in this direction often

[Austin]

Hmm, listening to some Bad Religion and Yellowcard at the moment.

Alright guys, I thought I'd say a bit about what all happened in the game and why I did some of what I did. I'll start off by saying, and this is no fault of the hosts (in fact I loved you guys) but I didn't have a lot of fun in my short time in the game. Everything became so personal so quickly and in between Joe's reactions to my 3 votes in the David TC and the entire Pete blindside, the whole Natalie drama and Keith being ejected for being a bit of a dick to Laura, it never felt like people were having any fun. That's why I joined this ORG, that's why I joined my last one, and sadly I just didn't get that this time. Oh well, life goes on, and I'm not quitting these because of one less-than-great experience.

So Pete. You mentioned being disappointed with me as a friend for voting you out. I understand that, and as a friend I apologize. I really did enjoy talking to you and I'd love to remain friends with you after all of this if you're up for that. However (my Dan is showing) there are a few things that happened throughout the season that lessened my trust for you and moved you up my threat list. 1: When Parvati listed off the people in the big alliance on Lomand, she named Joe, Angie and myself. I was not the only one to notice, Angie saw it too, only Joe wanted to "not jump to conclusions." Assuming that, this being an online game, one would have to be in an alliance to know about it, it was very likely that you were the mole and sold us out to Sovati. This tipped me off that you had connections with Parvati and So. 2: Natalie's information dump. While her primary target was Jim and all of his alliances, she had mentioned that you and Jim were in a cross-tribal alliance with him. That was fair enough, I had one too (with Natalie, no less) it was everything else that scared me. Jim had alliances all over the place with people in his tribe, and I was scared mostly of him than anyone else, and alarms were blaring in my mind with him. This tipped me off that you had a close ally in Jim, and, to me, implied that there was a possibility of you flipping at the merge. 3: You preferring to work with Laura after the swap. Now, I wouldn't have been against this under other circumstances, but knowing that she was with Jim and that you were with Jim gave me the impression that you guys were this big alliance that was going to Ometepe right through the merge, and that fucking scared me.

SOOOOOO the round in which I blindsided you was insane. None of it went right, and believe it or not I didn't want you out. I preferred to get rid of Laura because that way, maybe if we could get rid of some of Jim's numbers you'd feel forced to fall back on Joe and I. This was so fucking frustrating because Joe would not commit to me. For context, we had a day 1 F2 alliance. I was not going to go back on that directly - I refused to vote him out when apparently the target was between him and I (I voted Liz) whether he hated me or not, but I digress. The way it was looking, the vote was going to be 4 Keith and 3 Laura if I flipped, and I wasn't going to flip without a majority. I go to sleep that night feeling awful about everything and expecting nothing to go right. I get home from school the next day and everything is wrong. The Ossa4 created an alliance to get rid of you because they felt you were playing them, and Keith/Woo fully committed to the plan with Laura on the fence due to not being online at the time of Tribal. Liz was totally with you/us. At this point, I'm forced with a decision. *sigh* Stick with the plan and get rid of Keith or take out a huge threat to my merge game. The rest is history. Pete, while I liked you as a friend and loved talking to you, as a player to another player I make no apologies for taking out a threat to my game.

Now I'd like to take a moment to talk about Joe. I love the guy, but the way he approached the game was so frustrating to me. I don't want this to sound like revisionist history, but I was still apprehensive about committing to our day 1 F2 because we've all seen how those end in Survivor. Sadly, I was right. He was the main reason that the post-David Tribal didn't go nearly as smoothly as it should've. Parvati came out and outed our alliance, and immediately he starts accusing her of all of these things - none were too personal though - basically showcasing "VINCE AND JOE AND ANGIE ARE TOGETHER LOLOLOLOLOL" in massive flashing lights the best he could. I did what I assumed the logical person would do, and I take Parvati's side in their argument to try and distance myself from Joe as much as possible while maybe earning some points with Parvati which I think I did. The thing I didn't account for was Joe taking my remarks completely personally an giving me shit about it privately. That's my biggest problem with his game - he takes everything super personally. After Pete's blindside, he publicly called me out for being fake, and according to Woo told people I was dirt behind my back and targeting me with all his might. I'd like to take a moment to address these. Was I being fake? Yes. Totally. 100%. This is Survivor. I was trying to pull off a blindside. I'm not going to tell people or their allies I'm coming after them because that's not how you get people out. I'd be amazed if anyone could pull off a Survivor win by not telling a single lie, that's not how that works. Do I blame Joe for coming after me? Hell no. Again, it's a game. I broke his trust, and I'll own that. I went behind his back and voted out one of his allies. That said, I don't appreciate him calling me dirt, provided he actually did call me that. I don't think I'm a bad person for lying in a social/strategic game, and I'm not going to apologize for that.

I really hope you guys don't think I gave up after the Liz vote and not doing the RI duel. My logic behind the Liz vote was twofold. Firstly, after thinking about the possibilities for the vote, it really didn't matter who I voted for so long as it wasn't a self-vote. Depending on who I had with me, it'd always be 4 me 1 Liz, 3-1 plus 1 for Joe, or a 2-2-1 tie. No matter which way it went, if I was safe I was safe, if I was out I was out. Secondly, I just wanted to prove to Joe once and for all that he could trust me and that I was never writing his name down. The RI duel, on the other hand, wasn't thought out. I had been on a school trip and away from home until a couple of hours ago and I was never going to have time to do it. I swear that I would've at least tried if I had a chance, but sadly it didn't turn out that way.

So yeah. I believe that I've gone sufficiently in depth for a lot of the important stuff I had to talk about, but should anyone have any questions, I'll be glad to answer anything

One more thing. I hold no hard feelings toward anything that's happened in this game, I'm rooting for all of the merge tribe (mainly Natalie because that'd be hilarious) and I can't wait to see what happens.

Did she say what the password was? I'm still stumped.

[Petey P]

I should mention with the Parv and naming our alliance thing, Angie and Joe knew full well I told Parv about this.

Also, I just wasn't sure what you were thinking on the blindside in terms of numbers. Let's say Keith stays in. Laura will more than likely flip, this was obvious, and then it's 3-3 and you've upset a good number of players. You had to know Laura just didn't like Keith and there was a rivalry there

[Petey P]

Even I knew what the password was, dude. Most did.

[Petey P]

And I wasn't actually disappointed! I was just tryin to guilt trip you

[Vince "Dirt" Sly]

Holy shit was I out of the loop on stuff. Nobody told me the password to either Idol. Nobody told me that Parvati knew about our alliance. And I'm not surprised about the guilt trip thing all things considered

For the tie situation, myy plan was to swing either Joe or Laura to our threesome and work from there, but as you can quite clearly see that didn't happen.
