Veskit posted:I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. At least from reading the confessionals Rarity got in her own head pretty hard about you and thinking that you had a betrayal lined up, and sorta acted in the moment. Also from everyone saying it probably bit her in the end, I don't think anyone can really fault your play. Even if you changed up the final 4, then it was doubtful much would have been different. The thing was we had been so in sync all game that when I first thought "Asii's my main competition", I figured she must have had the same thought. I think the final 5 veto ceremony showed she hadn't but at that point I'd considered the possibility too much to put it away :/ I was really hoping I could win the final 4 HOH so I could let things play out without me. I would have even thrown the veto so that whatever happened just happened.

Rarity posted:I still think we should have taken Xylo to the final 4 This doesn't work when I can read your docs and confessionals!! Although I did blame Asiina more, just because she kept it a secret when I was going to be nominated/saved and you actually let me know when you would be putting me up, which made me trust you more.

Or the Final 5 nomination where I put up Uni to make you feel better even though you wouldn't even volunteer when I totally rigged pulling names out of a hat for you! I was so ready to write a super angry confessional after that, but then you came back and we worked it out. Honestly, at that moment I should have known you were wavering, but you apologized so I thought it was just a moment of insanity, since you were getting really paranoid at the end. I meant what I said though in that I knew you were competition, but I also knew that we would have been seen as monsters for betraying each other, so we had no choice but to stick together through to the end. Look how right I was!

Asiina posted:I didn't know that people had already turned. I still thought we had a super awesome plan of Meinberg being your fake final 2 partner and Uni being mine, and so as long as we managed to not be put up together we could sail into final 3 and have a 2/3rds shot of getting to the finals. Yeah, your plan was solid. It really does suck to know that we were in position to be the first alliance to ever go from Day 1 all the way to the end and that I screwed it up  That video is  / as hell. Oh, I never had Extreme Ways playing during the jury phase (though I did chuck it on when the final vote hit 3-3), but this was the song I was listening to all day today:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOboa27SHDE

XyloJW posted:This doesn't work when I can read your docs and confessionals!! Yeah, Jake really blamed me more than hurt and capps for the same reason. I just found it hard to have those conversations, so I avoided them. My first HOH was a total shitshow by the way. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and said the first two names that came into my head. The others, yeah I probably could have said something. My bad.

It was the one time in the whole game I really got caught without a solid angle to work and the apology was to play it off as paranoia so you wouldn't figure out what I was really up to.

I still don't think Xylo staying was a good idea, since he put us up in about 4 seconds a few days earlier! But whatever, it's hard to theorycraft afterwards since in the moment you're so caught up and you have no idea if anyone is doing what they said they're doing so you're just crazy with ideas. My strategy to combat that was to put my trust completely in one person and screw everyone else. If I started doubting Rarity I probably would have lost it.

Yeah but at that point I thought we could play Meinberg and Xylo off each other on the grounds they wouldn't wanna go final 2 with the other. Actually, I guess I mean I could play, cause by that point I wasn't really working for the team any more And that last bit is totally the right thing to do. We all saw what happened to me when I started doubting you.

I needed an excuse to change my nominations to you instead of Meinberg, so I asked Rarity to volunteer to go up so I could go "oh my god you guys, you all volunteered. I can't choose! It's too much! I'm going to draw names out of a hat!" and so I told her to volunteer so I could do that and make it plausible and she was all "no I don't want to volunteer  " which was so frustrating. So yeah, don't feel guilty about putting me up at all. Cause I was totally going to backstab you in the end anyway. Good job on moving first.Rarity posted:When did it become 6:30am? Is this another endurance challenge? Yeah, I'm going to bed. I will post more if this is still here tomorrow. If it gets closed and put in its rightful place in the goldmine, then let me say one last thank you to Cena and the mods for the amazingly run game. You guys clearly put a lot of effort into it and it paid off. Also thanks to everyone who played, this was a great experience and I hope to play more games with you nerds in the future. I will miss this terribly now that it's over.

Poor, poor Toadsmash. If he was more active, then I probably would have lobbied more for his sake, but his sacrifice did bring about my great victory. I was able to prove my loyalty and usefulness to Asiina and Uniballer, which led to me getting switched over to their final four alliance, at least in part. And well, we saw how that turned out for them.

anime gently caress pillow posted:No QWOP. QWOP is great, and it led to the greatest moment of Awful Brother's early game. The only part that I thought was rough was that puzzle where we had to call out coordinates in the thread. Too many people were involved and it caught to be a bit of a clusterfuck. It might be worthwhile to get some sort of IM functionality with all the players, to coordinate challenges of that nature, though I suppose google docs worked well enough for the similar challenge during the Final Three.

I guess if we've moved on from joke answers to real answers, I'd say that more challenges that are games. Quiz challenges are cool too, but my favourites were the ones where we had to do something like the QWOP one or the nightmare picture matching one I won veto with. I'm sure they require huge amounts of effort, but they're very fun to play. Also I'm a lazy piece of poo poo who forgets to write confessionals or just doesn't know what to say. Giving a prompt, even just a couple of generic questions that could apply to anyone, would have made me write a lot more than I did. And I'm super sad I missed the endurance challenge. I wish there was one earlier in the game.

Endurance challenge in Survivor was a blast, but I wouldn't give specific prompts. Or maybe have some times where you can actually talk to each other - we were forbidden from talking to each other after a short while. I think if it were allowed, you'd see deals come out in desperation/tiredness.

If you had enough people in the back you could have them administer prompts/questions and post them into the spreadsheet. Basically having 3-5 pintrest mom's who also have some questions going on. Probably not too far from how actual reality competition shows work anyway. I'd be down to help. Cause I was laaaazyyy with confessionals, and they were pretty fun as a viewer to see.
