What do they want?
How are they going to get it?
Whart am I going to do about it?
God, I am having such a blast playing this game.
Honestly, that last round, that twist was the most insane build to a TC I've ever experienced.
Since I've reconciles ith the fact I am not winning this, it has givn me a whole new perspective on things, and jumping down rabbit holes of completey hairbrained schemes is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mostly for the rest of the players, even allies, am playing a mch more sombre figure, a bit down, bit dejected, bit disjointed. But had to, to get the stigma of being some social HBIC target away from me after that challenge at the weekend, and following the failure to get Cherry out at that point.
And know she has been shopping my name all over to anyone that will listen. I dont hold grudges and most of what I have heard just is water off a ducks back. The one though that does stick with me is the hoping i die of aids. That one is not something i will soon forget. When I was living in Vancouver lived next to a guy that had aids, and watching him slowly get sicker and sicker in the last few months of his life is not something I woud wish upon anyone. So that one really touched a nerve. Rather ironically though, we have actually been communicating better since then than before.
Anyhow, at least if you know where an attack may come from then is not going to be a blindside.
Rather ironic, then, that it was my vote that ultimately saved her in this game.
Seriously, if anyone wants a proper study of irony, my game has been literally overflowing with it. Again, something that does tickle me. Everything is ironic. Hell, even Kaylee's suggestion of the merged tribe name was too good to pass up. I love Firefly, and the name of that ship was completely thematically correct, and not to mention that it could not have been further from the actuality, that nothing about this place has at all beein serene. Has been Selene, but not serene.
Peace be their journey. Not likely.
I love Kaylee
Babydoll is amazing! Seriously, that was so not the time to be doing that big move, and I even sent her a lengthy msg explaining my reservations, and raising the possibility of the Nostromo girls doing exactly what they did. But recklessly she had already gone down that rabbit hole and i had been implicated, so yeah, had to go along by that point. But at least it has opened doors that may have closed to others that voted against them. But believe it or not, if anything the way Cherry and Babydoll have been going after each other, I may even not be her number 1 target anymore. Shield activated!
Not only that, but while I had been trying to work on them to set something up for this round, i was always mindful of haivng that penalty vote. And with such few numbers to play with, needed to try and get in good with them, so that, despite all of Cherry's throwing me under the bus, they didnt lust load up on me with that vote. between what Cherry had been saying, and the results of that weekend challenge, where I was all over that sodding thing, like a rash. Which combined put one hell of a target on my back. So naturally the thing to do whenone has a target, is either try to lay low, or be a bit proactive to do something about it. Which is what I have done.
Mewanwhile Mother continues to go unnoticed by a lot of people, but f*ck do I get a blast from her. She is funny, she is hella perceptive and i hope she is playing the double agent to my benefit. I just wish she was around more so I could talk more with her, but I guess her sporadic appearances really help the illusion that she is able to go UTR with most people, or from Nostromo's POV that they see her as not being particularly relevant to what is going on. But anyone that denegrats Mother is a damned fool.
And now Kaylee finally coming clean about the Trinity revote means that it has oened the door for possibly connecting the dots here, between Moher and Kaylee/Babydoll. Mnwhile those 2 girls shouldnt have too much difficulyty reconnecting with Nostromo as they said what thy were going to do, and the natural thing for them to do would bet rope me in, because at this point, what are their options?
Xena, Claire and Nox I expect will be less than thrilled.
Losing Storm was really sad, as she was someone that reached out and made the effort to reconnect. And even though it had been apparent for a long time (yes I know, I have been terrible in updating these but that doesnt mean Ive not been aware) that she was playing her own game and that I was not always part of that, I cant hold that against her. I dare say she is very disappointed in me, but likewise, I thought I could count on her at the Trinity vote also, so it goes both ways. It is a game, but she truly was among tthe bnest of us, and think she may have had a chance to win this whole thing.
Which brings me to Cameron, and if there was one green I would have been rooting for as an outside observer, it would have been her. I would have had her as my winner pick after that first weekend, out of the girls on Nostromo, based on those first few days. And it sucks that she was the one to go, the fac that my switch to Nox and her having a penalty vote sealed her fate. Had it not been for those 2 things - and now that I think of it, holy f*ck, my telling her that Storm was voting for her probabaly was the trigger for Nostromo changing their vote to her.
So indirectly, I actually think I may have been responsible for BOTH of those girls being eliminated last night. I wish I could claim and say I knew that this was going to happen and that I was the mastermind behind both of these being eliminated, but sadly that is not exactly the truth. But it does illustrate how the power of having connections and placing the odd word here or there can have devastating effects.
Bottomline though, it got both tribes down a number, and although my credibility in this game has been shot to shit, and I am playing unquestioningly the WORST i think i ever have, i am sooo rusty, should not be making the mistakes i am, and pretending to be downbeat, a bit morose, but ever hopeful of a new day in the morning, even that has been kinda fun. Damn, this game has gotten harder in the last few days, but wow, am i having fun.
Oh, and learned my lesson. Challenge is next.
