When the game first started I never thought in a million years I would be here in the finals like I am right now. I came into this game wanting to play an extremely out there and practically impossible game to play. I came into this game playing an very anti-social game. I rarely ever talked to any of you. I may have sent a couple of PM's here and there but never had a social conversation or talk on AIM when there wasn't a live competition.
In the beginning I thought I would just make it to the jury with me being practically invisible to everybody with all of the major personalities creating targets for themselves. I really didn't take this game seriously until Butterfree dropped out of the competition and as a result I was now in the F7. That made me think I might be able to make it to the end so that is when I really got into the game and luckily that is when I started dominating in challenges.
This game does baffle me in how I was able to vote in the majority the whole entire season, be nominated to be put up on the block twice and never get evicted without speaking more than a single word to any of you. I never once asked any of you to not vote for me when I was nominated for eviction, other people always campaigned in my favor. I will also out my voting history if you guys want to know it. The whole time I voted for the person who got evicted I voted for Woobat, Mew, Infernape, Turtwig, Phanpy, Snorlax, and Mudkip. I also nominated Lapras who went. So I had a say in every person getting eliminated who is on the jury without talking to anybody to figure out how they would vote for the most part.
Every round before the jury phase I would PM the HoH telling them that I can work with them. Telling them I am a vote in any way they want towards who to evict and if I were to win the PoV I would do it as they would like, unless if I was nominated then I was going to save myself but still vote however they wanted. I'm guessing this helped me in that Eevee and Snorlax both ended up nominating me, granted after the PoV was used both times but they campaigned for me to stay when they were HoH I'm guessing because I at least showed that I wanted to play.
My relationship with Eevee, which was pretty much the only social/strategic relationship I made in the house didn't become strong until Round 5. During Round 5 and onward I continuously kept in contact with Eevee and that is around the time we became the power players in this game. Eevee pretty much dominated the beginning of the competition and formed social bonds that I tried to get Eevee make us stronger in the later part of the game when I started dominating the competition. I know that Eevee already stated how many competitions that we both won individually and combined we won 9 competitions out of 18 competitions in the game with HoH and PoV's. So we were a strong force in this game which is why we are were we are.
I would also like to point out that I was fighting extremely hard to stay in the game which it shows when I won the last 2 PoV's and very last HoH. All of those wins allowed me safety in those rounds and let me singlehandedly bring Eevee to the finals with me. I just hope that you on the jury would look past my lack of social game because I really didn't have a social game with anybody and look at my strategic game that allowed me to get where I am now. I do know if everybody votes based on the strengths on the social game I will not receive a single vote and would be glad to be runner up to Eevee but I do feel that I fought my way to get to the end and while Eevee and a couple of other people did help bring me half way into the game I really held my own when it came down to it at the end. I will be gladly waiting for your questions, and please do not be afraid to ask anything you would like that is game related. I will not hold back my answers and will answer your questions as truthfully as I can.
