Day 32 - Final Tribal Council

[Linda]

Question 1: That was very much considered an option for me to an extent. I saw the Vecepia vote happening(not the fact it was Vee, but that you guys switched), tried to change it, and then worried that I had a group that was scared to make changes(like I wanted to change the vote), so I went to you guys, knowing you would be open to it. You two were also two of my favorite people to talk with. So that happened and I definitely figured I could go far with you guys. NOW at that point I still knew you were too dangerous in a F3 Patricia, so even though the alliance was real, I always knew it would never last until the end. If I had to vote off other people instead of you until F5/F4 I was quite happy with it, but then the opportunity came so that alliance ended up amounting to not really anything. As far as Gabe, we didn't talk about it one on one, but at the same time until near the end of the game we didn't talk strategy in one-on-one PMs, only in group ones.

Question 2: Adaptability. I think I had to switch things up more than either other player did. Gabriel had a pretty linear path for most of the game until your vote, and while Lindsey had her up and down moments of switching things up, she actually only switched alliances a couple times. I feel after the Clarence vote, I had to wade through a bit more in terms of alliances.

Question 3: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50. :P

The GoT question will be next post so those who wish to avoid spoilers can :)

[Gabriel]

At what point in the game did you really decide you weren't going to F3 with me. At what point did I become too threatening to your game personally?

You became too threatening to me after Vecepia left. I knew that you were making a lot of waves and that if you did happen to get to the end, that you were going to slaughter anyone you were with.

2. List the members of the jury from easiest to talk to, to most difficult to talk to. Give reasoning.
1. Patricia. - You were always very good at conversations and could appeal to everyone's likes and dislikes to carry a good conversation.
2. Lex - Just as Patricia. You're very well spoken and knew what to say to what people.
3. Kim J - Even though the time I talked to her was very short, I could tell that I would have very good conversations with her if she was kept around. Even though I didn't talk to her much, I knew I could have if I wanted.
4. Kim P - When she was on NuMariche, we had very easy flowing conversations. She was a very smart and (seemingly) honest person when I was talking to her.
5. Gina - We had really good conversations on Mariche, especially at the beginning. We could usually talk about anything and have a fine conversation.
6. Vecepia - She was very upfront with what she was thinking and was someone that you could usually ask a question and get an answer.
7. Sean - You were like, a duller version of Lex, I think. You knew what to say to people, but you didn't really know how to say it.
8. Clarence - You came off really ingenuine and conversations were hard.
9. Sarah - I don't mean this personally, but you really were very blunt and I knew as time went on that your opinion of me went lower and lower. It made conversations difficult.

Was your constant wondering about whether or not people respected your game an act to make you seem less threatening?

Yes and no. I knew that it would make me less threatening, but it also would get people to give me a little insight into how I was perceived.

4. Watch this:

Of Linda and Lindsey. Which is Ninja Bryan, which is Danny Sexbang.
(optional: assign a "Ninja Bryan" or a "Danny Sexbang" to each member of the jury)

Ninja Bryan - Linda. (Quieter.)
Danny Sexbang - Lindsey. (More over the top.)

Admittedly, not a huge Survivor watcher.

Only recent seasons.

Skupin/Lisa, maybe? Except one of them votes one of the others out.

[Gabriel]

I seriously get every question that makes people mad at me. Everyone else gets dainty little questions that make them look good.

Ok, Game of Thrones spoilers up until the VERY END OF SEASON 3 IN THIS POST. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT

Spoiler: show

Kim J: Catelyn Tully. Very sweet, loyal, but had an edge to her game when it was necessary. She was loved by most people and was a tragic casualty when it was more important to take out a bigger threat(Frank, which essentially ended her game)

Clarence: Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. He was very much an opportunist, used his position as someone who would talk to lots of people to gain lots of information, but then go back to others, all to try and advance his posiiton in the game. He is known as a slimeball by everyone, and no one actually thoguht he was as much a threat as he could have been. His vote off doesn't fit as much, but that's because of the chaos before hand

Kim P: Joffrey Baratheon(really Lannister). A very simple minded person who saw themselves as more important than they were. They expected people to bend to their will, and were very cruel to those they did not like, and sometimes even to those they did. Their allies were there better in this ame.

Vecepia: Sansa Stark: Didn't appear to start off the best in the game, and was dependent on one person for her happiness/life in the game(Sean). However, she did come into her own as someone who knew what they were doing in the game, and even though she was quiet, was somewhat quietly dangerous, with the potential to break out and be a force.

Sarah: Stannis Baratheon: Very few people seemed to like her, yet she believed in her own power and importance even when everything seemed not to go her way, yet she continued to keep going. Even with many setbacks in her votes and not wanting what she wanted, she would not lay down and die, she did not bend. Scrappy underdog who lasted much longer than anyone would expect them too

Patricia: Tywin Lannister: This also fits for a book spoiler reason, but I will let you find that out on your own :). You were THE dominant force in this game. You were the one who made moves happen, the one who was able to take out threats to your game, while still being respected by everyone. You were loved in a way that Tywin never was though, which made you inarguably more dangerous as a comparison.

Sean: Tyrion Lannister: Was a natural underdog from the beginning, due to his almost being the first voted out(in comparison to his almost being voted out first), yet he kept coming up with very intelligent tricks and moves to bring those over to his side, and get much further than anyone would be expected. A true player of the game

Lex: Margaery Tyrell: Very well loved by everyone, winning over everyone to his heart and soul. A threat that was not perceived until late in the game, and was actually very acute at the strategy portions of the game, even if he did not make many of his own moves himself, due to not needing to at the time(he made moves with his family)

Gina: Jaime Lannister: Very cocky in a fun way. They have the same sense of humor and badassery, and while they can come off as arrogant to some, are cool, human people underneath. Overconfidence also led to their downfalls, as seen by Jaime losing the Battle of the Whispering Woods and Gina not participating in the FIC

I still think I got the harshest thing from anyone in this game so far

True, Linda.

That was pretty :O to read.

[Kim J]

If this gets me any votes, yay.

But here's a cool haircut.
