hi guys.
it's no secret that given my status as a) a former winner and b) the de facto "leader" of the "Twisted alliance", I've had a gargantuan target on my back for pretty much the entire game. for this reason, it's honestly absolutely astounding to me that I'm here. I have to say that I'm pretty stoked, though.
this has been my first All Stars game, and it's fittingly been a real rollercoaster ride. that might sound funny considering how slow paced this season has been overall (sry), but this game has somehow potentially been the most emotional one I've ever played. I guess that comes with the territory of All Stars games, what with knowing who everyone is and having to factor in the past relationships of other players as well as your own. The personal nature of this game made the way it changed on a dime from round to round more difficult to deal with than usual, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I think it's fair to say that my path here couldn't have been much harder than it was, and I definitely learned a lot about myself and my relationships with other people along the way. in the end, though, like Brendan said in Tocantins, it's not about who had the most inspiring journey or improved the most, it's about who played the best game. thankfully, I don't think my gameplay was too shabby, either.
I'll keep this short and save the rest for clarification through any questions you have. I do think it's worth noting that despite being arguably the biggest target in the game for pretty much the entire game, I made it here, and on my own merit, not dragged to the end because people thought they could beat me, or by slipping under the radar. that alone is no small feat. I'm proud of the game I played. I owe my success thus far to a combination of immunity runs, effective manipulation of my social relationships, strategic prowess, treasure trove visits, pure luck and, of course, some of the best allies I've ever had in an ORG. I don't wanna turn this into like a personalized love letter, but Sierra Dawn, you really are one of my favourite people I've ever met in these games, and you were absolutely my rock for the entire time we were together. I just wanted to thank you for that since I never got a chance to, because I think this game might well have driven me crazy had you not been around.
Anyway, this OS is a little different from my Luanda one in that I'm not going to run through a highlight reel of my triumphs during this game, because it's honestly been an absolute clusterfuck, and I'd rather stick to giving people the information they specifically want as opposed to overloading you all with superfluous BS. I am more than happy to answer any questions that any of you might have for me, personal or game related, and I hope what I've done during this season is enough to earn me your votes and the win.
Lastly, a sincere thanks to all of you for sticking out this season. The experience wouldn't have been the same without you all
