This was a lot more fun and a lot more compelling than I had any right to expect. Those thinking my not talking to start was a PLAN, eh, sorrrrta? Everyone else seemed to know each other of old and the alliances ran deep and there was a lot of I SWEAR TO YOU MY BROTHERS and whatnot and so I was a little wierded out and decided to just not piss anyone off but past a point you can find in the thread probably I just decided fuckkit if I am gonna lose or whatever, might as well roll with it. In MMA parlance, I LET MY HANDS GO since honestly the only real compelling thing about me for this game is my near endless capacity for charming nonsense.

I have a terrible fear of windshipper's wrath, but because I still have this game in my head I wanna mention the bad idea he hated, just in case anyone is curious and hasn't heard it yet...

the idea was for him or Skinty to tell Majuju that we were thinking of voting for him, but the target had moved elsewhere because of the idol and he was safe. Then, mid-tribal council, I'd be like: "Guys, let's change our vote up! I'm calling an audible!" I thought it'd be fun to see if it'd confuse people and make Majuju second guess where to play his idol and possibly help us flush it. If not, no harm done, right? Mostly I was excited at the idea of having mid-tribal drama when no one can talk outside the thread and it seemed like it would be really cool.

If anyone doesn't think that's an enormously fun idea just from an entertainment standpoint alone, then I think that's just a difference in personalities. That's the thing, I had lots of ideas where I said: "Wouldn't it be so cool if (crazy and outside-the-box idea)?" Meanwhile, a more grounded person could certainly feel the idea was goofy and far-fetched. Different strokes I guess, but in any case, I don't know why one proposed scheme that was shot down and that we never attempted made me forever an idiot in your mind, windshipper. Non-idiots can have bad ideas sometimes, too.


Majuju: Because we really never have actually talked, isn't the bitterness between us actually kind of silly? I don't think we know each other well enough to really have firm opinions of one another, or to back up the things we've said about each other. Sorry if I crossed a line or was just generally not cool.

I liked Prop's closing speech, how it totally threw shade on me and Ice. Also it was pretty slick to drop that in at the end so I couldn't bite her style with an attack of my own, or respond (even though I had preemptively covered a lot of it). If I could copy her, or if I'd had the killer instinct to come up with that kind of speech, I think I would have done it something like this:

quote:

Propaganda Machine, all the Durfs only made it through the shuffle because of Byers bringing in bowmore and Chili's failed maneuvers, not because of you. Propaganda Machine, the only reason any of you survived deep into the merge is because Byers brought back Winson, you didn't do that. You rode along on moves made by Byers and the loyalty of the Durf tribe, and then you yourself got busted scheming against Durf in your machinations against Byers. Propaganda Machine, why should we vote for you when your "biggest" "move" was an aborted stunt with windshipper and Skinty that failed spectacularly?

I think I did hint at all those points throughout my jury answers but really putting it together in a big attack like that might've been cool, props to Prop for actually doing that in her remarks... and despite that hypothetical attack on her game, I do think she's a deserving winner and would have made other plays if things had panned out in different ways. I'm just Monday Morning Quarterbacking myself here, I think I want to express things I could have done differently so I can finally stop thinking about this game entirely and put it behind me.

After talking with a few jury members I've pretty much accepted that my closing argument lost me the game but, like I said before, at that point I was so burnt out from being sick and from us having gone for three hours and even if I had been able to give a better one I'm not sure it would have been enough to save me.

Plus I'm pretty sure I had the best (sorry Majuju!) and worst (you're welcome Windshipper:v:) moment in the season so I can hang my hat on that.

I had a beer with Stephen Miller once and now I like him.
Fun fact windshipper sent me a PM before that council telling me the vote was on me, that you guys figured I was going to idol Prop Machine, and that you knew Byers had immunity from the auction. I would have totally trusted this except for one critical error (see if you can spot it!) and I called him out in a confessional for this that was WAY too harsh and I regret the tone of it now.

And speaking of, yeah this is a feud based out of next to nothing, mostly me using my clutch first-juror privilege to poo poo-disturb because I became an instrument of TRUE CHAOS long ago. I am willing to cop to my part (particularly in escalating to nuclear) and apologize: I'm sorry for all the feudin', let's bury this hatchet.

Cool

And yeah bowmore had the immunity necklace and didn't tell any of us so windshipper may have really thought Byers had it. I asked him (bowmore) if he got anything good by PM but he didn't answer! Byers apparently got a picture of a slug or something? I forget. Is that the flaw of what he said or did you spot something different?

It's not so much rethinking as much as regret. I felt like I killed it in the questions phase (the vista seemed to agree) but couldn't clinch it with my closing. Obviously with more time to think about it I know what I should have said, but knowing what state I was in when it happened I'm still accepting of it.

We (Durf) actually knew almost immediately after the auction that Bowmore had the idol because it was literally the only item at the Auction that hadn't been revealed.

Haha y'all knew more than we did. We didn't know that, so winds wasn't necessarily trying to lie to you guys on that front. Bowmore wasn't very talkative.

I regret being too drunk to even remember what happened. It's not like I'm drinking all the time or during any of the challenges for that matter so I dunno what happened, culmination of 45 days of a stressful game plus having already had a few watching US-Belgium which incidentally went into overtime and prevented me from working on jury speeches along with some personal stuff that came up with a friend :shobon:
