Here’s what happened. I connected first with Link and we hit it off. I connected with Oaki second and was like this dude is amazing. Then you and I connected and I was like hell yeah here we go. I also really enjoyed Chio, Robbie was chill, but my PM’s with Horsey were really lacking in the very beginning. I saw you and Link as the social butterflies commenting the most publicly and figured I either needed to form an alliance with both of you, or neither of you. I got stuck on an idol clue and was like hey Link, help me out on this idol clue and I’ll give you F2 right here right now (which in hindsight was wild and dumb but hey) but we never solved it and uh I interpreted that scenario as me being let down easy about F2.
Now all of a sudden Horsey picks up his activity and I’m like dang it I like him too?? But I already told Link and Oaki and Sidon that I want to work with them?? I wasn’t expecting the proposition from Horsey/Robbie at all and was like well, if I straight up shoot them down then I’m dead but also if I am like OMG YES BFF’S after I already did that with a few other folks, I’ll get stabbed.
How I wanted to continue was this: You, me, and Oaki being a tight 3 but keeping it low on the radar. That’s why I was fully transparent with the both of you. I figured that as long as the three of us were on the same page, I could take a little bit of heat from Horsey or Link in future rounds. I admit that I didn’t really tell either you or Oaki super directly this plan, but I thought I’d have time to do that. Joke’s on me! But then chaos ensued and we all got split up a billion times and then the next thing I know Oaki is like Riju Horsey is coming for you and you were like huh? What? That’s not what Horsey told me. And then I was like but if Horsey wanted to work with both Sidon and I, not Oaki, and only Oaki is the one telling me Horsey is coming for me, Sidon must be in on it then?? But we didn’t have enough time to work through that.

Yeah this game was very wild and unlike any survivor based LSG I've ever played
but like, that was also the point and they gave us plenty of warnings about this game being complex and whatnot so you chose your fate haha

Aw what a bummer! No joke, I was thinking just the other day about how if you made FTC I'd feel obligated to ask you what music you were listening to, hahaha. The feeling was definitely mutual, I loved our conversation at 15 and was super bummed we never got to be on an actual tribe together. I probably should have talked music with more people!
Also I'll say that Mipha going back into the game saying you were a jury threat definitely wasn't bullshit, I feel like a few people expressed something along the lines of "I don't think Sidon will make it to the end because he's a jury threat but if he's there, I'd lean towards voting him just because he was able to make it there while being a threat".

Not directly, no. You were always pleasant to me directly. Since they're still in the game though, who was trying to vote me out all the time then? Usually it was some combination of Kohga or Epona who brought it up first. And since they were my primary lifeline, I would go with it. Early in merge it was a clusterfuck of everybody bringing you up every round so I honestly don't remember then, I just remember hearing your name from enough other people that it felt like there was momentum without me being out there shoving it.

I only showed up because I was promised this game would be bastardized garbage. Let me tell you I was not disappointed!
I'd always heard it was the core Stamina Kohga/Epona/Sidon expressing "concerns" about insert me here so I think my initial sentiment is accurate. Why didn't you vote Epony with us last round? I went behind Urbosa's back because I could tell she wanted Epona in as the only shield she could possibly use.
Riju you seem awesome. Sorry that we couldn't give our flappy bird scores away. You'd have done better then me I think.

I had no idea how to react to your bad PMs lmao This being my only Survivor game in several years, I can honestly say I sort of hate what the current metagame is. And if this level of idols and advantages are common, I'll be staying far away

Interesting to note. I had no idea people gave a shit! I basically blindsided everybody I voted who thought I was with them. Then I left the game being rude as fuck to people -- mostly because, I thought if I self-destructed a bit, maybe people would see I was a great person to have on the jury with how I pissed everybody off. I did love our talk -- I wish it could've extended further!

You'd have done better then me I think. I don't think I was aware it was *bastardized* garbage. The sign up thread didn't mention bastard, it only mentioned complex, and I didn't see the bastard advertisement. That being said, the round you went home, Patty pretty clearly said "it needs to be a Wisdom player" and Patty was immune, so I went along with that. And when it came down to you or Epona, Epona and I already had a working deal from the TC where we voted out Teebo, so she was always going to win out in that situation. As for last round, Epona was someone that would never betray me, period. She saw me as someone that was loyal and would go to the end with her and that she could beat. I had plans for that not to happen, but as we saw, Urbosa put her in stasis. I just don't feel like I played Survivor. I feel like I played some mad hatter bullshit version of Survivor where there was no point in planning for anything. Also didn't help that the returnees were ALL people I blindsided which created an immediate disadvantage for me. I was praying for Magda or Teebo or Chio or *someone* else but instead, I blindsided you and Oaki... and you two immediately came back. Then, while I didn't vote for Mipha, I blindsided her... and she also came back. I was pretty fucked after that.

Oh yeah -- I didn't actually leave with the extra vote, I passed it to Epona on the way out because I want her to win really badly at this point to salvage some amount of hope and positivity from this miserable experience.

About that. Why didn't you use the double-vote to tie the vote? Was whoever voted with you not willing to go to rocks?

You mean for this most recent vote? Revali had a double vote as well and was playing it on me/Epona but wanted everyone to go for me. The two votes were me and Revali on Mipha, and everyone else on me. Revali wanted me gone but this was the last round his double vote was active so he played it as an insurance policy.

Plus, if it was tied, my double vote wouldn't be used in the revote because I couldn't vote. I tried to pitch Kohga on me giving it to him to put it all on Mipha and in that case, he would've been the only one eligible for a vote on a revote because Epona was in exile, me/Mipha would've been immune, and Urbosa was immune. I mean yeah Revali was immune too, but Revali committed on wanting me gone, so Kohga would've had to risk 50/50 rocks to try to save me.

I honestly spent the whole game viewing you as a complete mystery and I can struggle with gimmicks but in reading all of your responses and insights post-death I am really bummed that we hadn’t chatted sooner. You’re a real one. Just don’t hate me after reading my confessional because I definitely said I’d sacrifice you for Oaki BUT I also followed it up with because we had never talked haha.
