polabonez decided to send awags to the jury, leaving himself and muddapucka.    

muddapucka has until 11:00 AM tomorrow to give his speech to the jury.    Afterwards, polabonez will have until 11:00 PM to post his speech.    The jury will then vote for the one they want me to crown champion via sitemail.

BFK, I would like to thank you for taking the time to put together a challenging, clever and creative game. However, I believe all of that is lost on most of it's contestants and all of our jury. It is unfathomable that the fate of the final two players will be decided by a collection of ignorant losers. I am thankful to have grown up in Canada where idiots such as these are removed from society at a young age and sent to club seals in the arctic. It's crazy to think that as minute as our jury's pea-brains are that their taliwackers are even smaller. I can only hope that this collection of mental dwarves becomes inspired somehow to make the right decision and not ruin what you have worked so hard on.

awags

Since you are now in the jury, does this apply to you now?

Thanks for letting me play I had a great time. Now I'm off to take over Arfy's Island.

Flute Loop...!!

I think this game is rigged.  The two people who have run it before are in the final two.

Calling it right now, bfkfraser wins the next one.

Ok, here goes.  My letter to the jury.

First of all, the posts awags and I made yesterday were pola’s funny idea.  He wanted us to call you all losers, have anti-American sentiments, and say you all had little taliwacks.  For some reason, he thinks no one is going to vote for him.

This game, I wanted to play more of a passive role.  In the past, I’ve tried to be in charge and make all the decisions.  It got me to the final vote once, but it usually meant I was voted out.

I worked with both pola and awags the entire game.  It was always our intention to make the final 3 together.  Luckily, it worked.  I was happy to let them enter into other alliances and work with their tribe members while I kept a low profile.  That way, no one would be mad at me when things didn’t go as they thought they would; I was not the bad guy.  Pola took on that role, either out of necessity or because he likes to stir things up. 

For most of the game, I never contacted anyone about sharing info, watching each other’s backs, etc.  I found it much easier not having to remember who I told what and needing to keep track of all my wheelings and dealings.  Once we made the final merge, I started interacting more and trying to get information out of the remaining players.

Although I was working behind the scenes on our strategy of whom to vote off, I was always active in challenges, in the thread, and found 2 idols.  Because of this, I was able to outplay, outwit, and outlast everyone except for pola.  Whomever you choose will be a worthy champion.

 

I think polaboner might have to settle for the consolation trophy AND playing with his little taliwack! LOL!

I was really hoping "poiabonez" would make an appearance and try to fake post a final speech.

Ladies and Gentlemen...... Most excellent members of the jury....   Fellow Americans......

I stand before you on this wonderful election day with only two wishes.  I beg of all of you who are reading, waiting, and preparing to cast your vote..... to grant me just these two simple requests before making any decisions on who you vote for as champion for Survivor IX:  Americana.

First, I would request you all sit back, crack open a Budweiser, and think:   Americana..   Who's moniker do you want to be associated in the history books as the king of Survivor Americana?   muddapucka?  or POLABONEZ?  i ask that you decide WHO's name jumps out at you when you peer upon all of the remarkable American Symbols in this slightly subliminal, slightly homemade, short  video clip  containing ALLTHAT IS  RIGHT with AMERICA.   Because truthfully voters... AMERICA does not deserve second best!   Feel free to keep playing the patriotic music in the background as I finish my campaigning.

Secondly, before I explain my story I ask that you take a deep breath, have another drink of Bud, and try to set your mind in my story as if you were playing as me.  I know my name got thrown around in many stories, some true, some I'm sure untrue, some good, some bad, some funny, and some just plain dickish - and sometimes it wasn't even me (poiabonez).  Think how you would have played, and then decide if I really was the bad guy.

Here is my story:

Prior to the game even starting, I joined an alliance with awags and muddapucka.  The cards hadn't even been dealt yet and there were three of us.  As soon as tribes were formed, csudak, onside, and I formed a separate alliance within Washington and worked together for pretty much the rest of the game.  I considered these  men my family.  Some of my family members had strong alliances (acres and peanut) and I did my best to protect everyone involved, but mostly - as all good American's do, my mission was to protect my family.  Sometimes I had to throw stories around, sometimes I had to pass idols, and most of the time I took the bad rap for doing the dirty work but all-in-all it was for the same goal, a goal that was accomplished all the way down to the wire.

There really were only two major times that I went against the grain and shook feathers for no reason -

One was towards da_goat and the fake idol of little Talliwack passing.  I know your vote is probably not coming my way goat no matter what I say - but I will be honest - I had been trying to set up this fake play for long before you and I ever talked with multiple people.  It just so happens that all the stars aligned when you sitemailed me and asked for my idol on a night when I came home drunk for the bar.  I'm sorry for the embarrassment, but you have to admit - it was pretty god damned  funny, even if it had to be at your expense.  Since I'm being honest - I'll tell you that I probably wouldn't have done it had I anticipated peanutjets to get disqualified (meaning you were the first one off the jury), but I guess that's what I get for playing with fire anyways. 

The other was the ousting of acres.  This was planned by everyone to be a 3-3 tie between onside and acres - which would have been a revote.  But the way I saw it - it was only delaying the game, and I didn't see any harm in speeding up the process, where I assumed either mudda or Casey would switch and vote for onside or acres anyways, and if they both did the revote could cause myself to be in a potential situation.  So I apologize acres - but we all knew once we all made it to 6 it was going to be full of hard decisions, and I was forced to make one there.

Choosing who to bring with me in the finals sucked, because both awags and muddapucka played one hell of a game, and I worked with both all game.  I never liked voting out csudak or onside either, but,  as any past or present American would know (and as I mentioned before), you can only get so far before you have to make a hard decision.

Mudda is absolutely correct when he says that I made him post and declare the jury members losers... but it wasn't just my funny idea.  I needed to show you that although mudda played the passive role all game - when threatened to survive - he would not pull any punches. I told both awags and mudda to post these comments and I would base my decision on who I was bringing to the final two on them.... .  As you can see, even the good dog will bite when he's put in the corner.  So should I be blamed for doing the same?

Sure, I got my hands dirty, but had I not been the one doing it....  there is a good chance that the crew that is here voting for or against me would not be the same people. For instance:

I'm sure most know that I contacted dawgnuts and made up stories about sjurat to hopefully influence him when the Jefferson tribe was at a 4-3 with him, golfpro, da_goat, and sjurat.  I had a feeling dawgnuts was the newcomer, and anything I could say or do to help out onside, acres, and awags I had to try - even though I knew it would create a negative on my name.  I felt I had to get my hands dirty, and had I not, I guarantee mudda would have.....  So let me ask you this fellow patriots - should I be reprimanded for jumping into the water first?

Every move I made was unselfish, and to protect the people that I was close to .  Now that, my friends, is Patriotism

I guess I should bring up one more thing, fellow Americans.  I did not have to cheat to get here.  In fact, if I could remind you of the FINKLE IS EINHORN part of this thread, when Americana ousted the trio of tubby7242, damagee, and bigorange64..... I can now tell you all that I am in fact Americana.  It was a two man team -  csudak and I worked together to determine that we were 95% sure that the three were the same person, I created the three websites logging the IP's of the perpetrators and we ousted them to bfkfraser-   bringing Justice to this great game,  AND this great country.

Mudda says he outplayed, outwitted, and outlasted...   But did he outplay and outwit?  Or did he sit outside? 

I will leave you all with that to decide.

I am here now on this podium, asking for your votes.... Because frankly, I think I deserve it.  I think I outwitted, outsmarted, and outplayed.

I think the integrity of this game and how it has to be played to survive deserves it.

Most importantly, I  think.......           AMERICA     deserves it.

I am AMERICANA ...... And I approve this message.

Wow, someone has a lot of time on their hands...!! 

The jury can now vote via sitemail to me.   Deadline is the typical 6:00 PM EDT tomorrow

He's lying! KILL HIM!   Your jedi mind tricks won't work on us!  Uh...or...a....them(Points to jury)! 

Which brings me to my second point, kids.  Don't do crack!

I was really hoping "poiabonez" would make an appearance and try to fake post a final speech.

I got a sitemail from the fake taliwack. I'm assuming all of the jury got it as well. Well done, pro!
