Well, here we are at the end…..hard to believe that I made it here all the way to the final tribal council….doubly incredible is that golfpro made it as well…..well done, pro!
First off, thanks to aggie for putting in the effort to run this game….been a lot of fun, thank you, sir.
I began this game as captain of Team X-Men. Right after I saw the team assignments, I figured this would be a very short lived Survivor game for me….ghutton and csudak were there and I knew I really had no shot with them….I did have katzphang there and figured I could count on him. That left me with truedevil and the new guy, go4itjim, as wildcards.
I decided to go 100% all-in on the newb, Jim, and try to commit him to an alliance…. took a big gamble and told him about the alliances with psap and golfpro in other tribes and that I could get him to a final 4 if he stuck with me (referring to him, psap, golfpro, and myself). This plan easily could have backfired and I’d be gone quickly. Jim told me that I was the first to reach out to him and he told me he was completely committed to the plan….luckily, this move is what got me here to the end…..thanks, Jim!
The biggest play of the game came right as the final merge to the individual game took place. The plan was to stick together and go to Final 4 …..then came the news from Jim that changed the whole game….psap wanted to play Brutus and stab me in the back. With some help from devil and hookem, we took out psap.
From that big move, we got Jim to buddy up with waregl in his “newbie alliance” and eliminated devil and hookem….I encouraged him right from the start to make that alliance to keep tabs on the newbies as well.
Win or lose, it was a fun game….the big gamble paid off and this season played out as well as I could have hoped for. Thanks to all who played this season….had a great time!
