I'm going to start working on a recap since the Alec boot when I last did a large update (sorry!). But for now, I'll just talk a bit about this round. It was very clear cut coming into the round. Brandon was supposed to go last round along with Coach but Sierra Dawn fucked it up. So we lose Ian 
and Brandon will just have to go this round. Easy enough. I already concluded the round in my head and started planning for next round. Sierra Dawn is going to have to go at some point and I figured next round would be best while numbers were still there without me having to rely on Matty and Sierra who are both attached to her. But that required me getting the Vote Thief so that I could double my vote and nullify hers, creating a 4-3 vote at worst if Matty and Sierra don't flip. So I had to win the challenge to make sure I got to the Trove and got the prize which I was pretty much guaranteed with only 4 people left and Matty and I guaranteed to be guessing. I put a lot of effort into the challenge, knowing Matty had already put in a lot of effort and that he would take me to the Trove if he won, but I still wanted to be able to win myself. Out of nowhere, Na'Onka wins. Like what? So I was in a good mood last night and decided to try something a bit unorthodox. This is such an easy round and there's nothing they can do so why don't I threaten Na'Onka to take me to the Trove? I basically decide to say in nicer terms that she is obviously in trouble going forward since we will have a majority and she's only immune for one round. It was obviously nicer and took more of a "working together" tone but it still seemed threatening. I figured why not and somehow it worked LOL. I never thought it even stood a chance but that's perfect. I took two guesses at the Vote Thief and, assuming Nay and Fabio (who have a much larger pool to guess from since they don't know the 6 already guessed) don't get it, I should have it guaranteed next round if I fail.
That being sealed away as well as Brandon being guaranteed to go, I decide to plan ahead a bit. I've had an ideal bootlist for a few rounds now (since the Alec boot) and other than Brandon getting an extra round and Ian being moved down a bit to be booted, it's gone well. Now, I originally had Na'Onka going in two rounds (after Brandon and Sierra Dawn) but after this deal we seem to have and realizing she is a bit of a goat, I may intend to take her and Steph to the end now. I think that's the only way I even have a shot at the win so that's my goal as of now. There's also an idol on the Trove which I'm a LITTLE worried about but Fabio getting it is not the worst thing in the world because it can make some inevitable votes painless but he can't get it this round. The clue is pretty broad so he may not. Again, everything perfect and sealed away by this point.
Then, Sierra Dawn's stupidity kicks into high gear for the second round in a row. She goes to Sierra about targeting me. ME? Seriously? First off, Sierra would never agree to that but more importantly, why would you target me? I've never played with Sierra Dawn before so maybe she doesn't know not to fuck with me but still I mean just one look at me should reveal that I'm a mastermind always in control of everything. Who would fuck with that guy? In all seriousness, targeting me this early and going to one of my closest allies about doing it is just plain stupid. And coming off of ruining a perfect Coach-Brandon double boot by wasting a vote out on Ian who was not only not a threat but was ON OUT FUCKING SIDE, I'm not surprised. She's shown more stupidity in the past two rounds than I think I've seen from any one person in their entire ORG career. Anyway, Sierra immediately told me and is not voting me out, Na'Onka did the same, and so now Matty, Fabio, Brandon, Na'Onka, and I (and maybe Sierra) are all voting out Sierra Dawn. I find it amusing that Sierra Dawn was stupid enough to say my name once and within 10 minutes, I find out and have 5 or 6 people out of 8 voting for her. So that should be that. I'm not a fan of how Brandon keeps evading his boot round after round because the last time that happened, my boot list went off perfectly except for one person and they ultimately were a main reason why I got eliminated and made it to FTC (10 PW points for anyone who can guess which game). But I've promised myself he is gone next round no matter what so that's fine.
One last note on Sierra Dawn's stupidity. Two rounds ago, she was making F6 in my bootlist and very few people if any would've even been willing to actually vote with me for her at that point. Last round, she moved down to only making F7 and would reasonably go because of a stupid move she made. Now, she's managed to move herself down to F8, getting almost unanimously booted because of incredible amounts of stupidity. I've never seen such dramatic movement down in my bootlist and she did it entirely to herself. These past two rounds have really just been to show the power of stupidity and that is the oh-so-comical Ballad of Sierra Dawn.
