Technically, if Ludo had cowered, that would have negated your ghost vote.

However, that still wouldn't have been enough to throw it into sudden death, because that still would have left bfo and Falconer as the only ones untouched by any negative vote.

Now, if phibacka and Ludo had BOTH cowered, then we'd have had a three-way tie between bfo, Falconer and phibacka - which would have resulted in a sudden death super-ghost round.

Who in the heck were in which alliances anyway?

In seven seasons of Survivor, I've never seen anyone dive for cover faster.

my guess is because things were being fed from everywhere to take out stronger players. thats why i voted that way too. I was fed so much different info that round I was like eh why not go with that for an interesting blackout. ahahahaha

It's hard to try and push things around from beyond the grave!

ish.... lines were always open and we had worked before previous seasons.

I'll tell mine from my point of view.

Right off the bat, JCM comes in and says me, hough, DBronc, Rohirrim and phibacka are a team. If anyone wins from our team we can consider that a win for us too. So we all agreed. Then a few rounds later, someone mentions canadian as a target to me, so I go to him and Navy, and say we need to protect each other because you're both targets. So then they're like cool. And broncosteven is all trying to feel out where everyone's allegiances are, so I invite him on board Houghtam's Canadian Navy Shuttle. Meanwhile I go back to my original team and I'm like hey let's vote this way because it will make it look like we're not after those guys, but we really are and stuff. So that's what we did. Then some other **** happened and kinda screwed some of us up. I think it was the zombie round. So JCM died and was like you guys I think we can get bfofl and Falconer up in this piece too. So we did. And then you guys saw what happened.

Wow, Falconer played both sides of the aisle nicely.

My hat's off to you.

ha-ha no worries, it was an interesting game, not what I expected. Wtf happened to punishing those that abstained? If I knew there was no punishment I would've waited it out a few rounds to figure out who to go with.

cowering is for pussies. i take my death in the water like i take my bourbon...with ice.

It's funny I heard this for four rounds and got very few votes.

Although I stayed with this alliance for the most part I was also in talks with bfofl and JMC as they got me through a few rounds. broncosteven then went against us and we knew we smelt a rat, which lead to his demise.

Is someone talking? All I hear is "blahblahblah I got voted out in round 2"

I don't know if he did it on purpose, but houghtam acting like a jackass and drawing your fire probably earned BFO and Falconer the title. a hugely smart play when a tiebreaker round would only have helped Lev/Ludo/BM4E.

yeah Ludo, i am curious about that myself.

You were going to be a target the second round after our alliance, but someone screwed up the vote. I forgot who. So by then broncosteven was already starting to sneak around, so we just shifted targets from you to him.

I was expecting a lot more rounds, to be honest, too, so our plan wasn't as aggressive as it probably should have been.

your team won? you got played just like hough...the players that won didn't vote with you but one or two times in the first 85% of the game...hell, one of them voted against you...enjoy your "victory"

but I can honestly say that I had open communication with both the winners from the very start of the game, was never targeted by them, and helped toward the end, ensure that they made it to the final rounds, so if you claim your "allies" won, I just have to laugh. you got played, you'd have been out the round prior had you been considered a threat, instead, we went after others cuz you were a pawn the entire game, despite the fact you think you orchestrated the perfect game....there's a reason why I was targeted early.... and there's a reason you weren't targeted, I'll let you see if you can figure it out

Please, describe for me in detail where I said my allies won? I simply said you guys saw what happened, and you inferred that's what I meant.

I didn't get played at all. I knew full well that allying with anyone was only temporary. My strategy all along was to just do whatever I had to to last until the final round. The reason I let the plan out before the final vote was to see if I could either a) get all the ghosts to attack me, cower and hope the rest would kill each other, or b) at the very least pull votes away from someone I didn't want to win.

But yeah, dude. You're a mastermind.

fair enough. honestly didn't expect to get to this point of the competition anyway. didn't really have a group alliance. just corresponded with BroncoSteven a bunch, but had no idea who he was working with. basically i sat back and just let the chips fall.

[houghtam]

I'd like to get a straight answer from broncosteven if he was trying to doublecross everyone the whole time, or if it just seemed like it.

[bfoflcommish]

I would just like to say I owe Conklin , Jcm, db4 and jsp all a beer or 2 during season!!!!
