@Malkon I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever it is, that's fine. I distrusted you almost immediately, and was repeatedly proved right in that. I figured this was not a vote that was in play for me but I'm sorry if I did anything that isn't fair game in this context."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

Since you said "a brief timeline" I will attempt to stick to that.In post 140, CreativeMod1 wrote:Okay so my vote is open and I'm happy to listen to each of you on how you feel you deserve to win, I think each of you had strong and weak parts of the game
I'd like to hear from each of you a brief timeline of the game in your eyes and show me where you did things that made moves to make it where you are right now
At the start I was invited to a group chat with Meme and Flum. I have since learned this was not an uncommon experience, but for the beginning of the game it was my alliance. However, as time went on and votes took place without me being included, it became very obvious to me that they didn't care about me and I needed to find other options.
I bonded with CC fairly early on and he is certainly the person I was the most involved with and truthful with throughout the game. We could see that the game was being steered by a powerful group and set out to do something about it. My best guess was that Meme and Flum were ringleaders of said group. I decided to reach out to Aura as someone I felt was likely to not be included in the big alliance, and I trusted her with my gameplan for a while. I would later discover this was a terrible mistake, but as I was quite disconnected at this point, deciding who to trust was a crapshoot at best. Our plans would repeatedly be betrayed for reasons that still mostly escape me. CC (I think?) brought in Malkon to form a four-person alliance, but as I already distrusted Malkon, I was leery of this group. Still, this was my primary alliance for a little while. Malkon's consistent pushbacks against the group's targets in favor of targets who I thought were unlikely to be dangerous cemented my belief that he was an enemy. Unfortunately after allying with CM later, I did not distrust the CM-CC-Aura alliance we made, and I should have.
Around the same time, a larger group was formed to try to target Meme & co. I thought this was a bad move, but it happened anyway. Someone (probably Aronis?) leaked this group's plan and it fell apart quickly. This contributed to my decision to make a big move by vote-bombing Flum (because Meme was immune). I told only CC about this at first, then included CM because of a conversation we had where CM came to me saying I was being targeted in a manner I felt was coming from someone who generally wanted to work with me. CM became a trusted confidant of mine from this point until his elimination. Since the plans I was involved in kept not working, I thought if I really wanted to make sure I succeeded, telling as few people as possible was the best way to execute any move. I claimed to be using 50+ votes when in reality 25 of those would be coming from CC, just to obfuscate our vote counts. I claimed not to have been the source of this for a little while in the hopes of spreading confusion and mistrust among the majority.
Eventually, those of us who were marginalized figured out who each other were and that we were very short on votes, making an alliance that was doomed to die because, you know, we didn't have any votes. At this point most of my gameplay became about hiding the fact that I still had votes. I hooked up with Meme, who helped me hide my votes as I disguised them as his votes and he kept the power players' target off of me as much as possible so that we would have a chance to make a move in endgame. This had the added benefit of causing the players with higher vote totals to distrust each other because the vote total didn't add up with my votes hidden, and we managed to prevail against overwhelming odds. I freely admit Meme deserves much of the credit for this phase of the game, but going along with his defection was the only play I had available after being burned repeatedly."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

meme has included a number of details about my game that i didn't bother to mention and i'll just say i have no issue with any of it.
i did at least ponder taking meme out, but really, the other side had done such a poor job of building any sort of goodwill with me at all that i just didn't want to."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

Closing:
Hi. The only thing I really have left to say is that I executed more or less the same strategy that has won me one of these semi-real games before in managing my threat/visible giving a fuck level to those I wasnt working with. It's a good one, unfortunately. But it also meant no one from the opposing alliance approached me at any point. I thought for sure vash at least would figure out what happened and try to talk me onto his side, which I might have considered. Shrug.
I'm not going to tell you not to vote for the other finalists, as they are both deserving. Do whatever you want, and thanks for playing."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-
