What is YOUR best strategic move ever?; Pat yourself on the back

Gaming discussions are fun. You know it. Here's the question:

What is your best strategic move ever?

Now now, before you quickly jump to the first answer that comes to your head, consider this.....

- Don't let it be as simple as you, as well as an alliance, booted some big threat or something. Think of something YOU, as an individual, did that made a massive impact on the game, possibly propelling you to win or make the finals.

- This doesn't have to necessarily be about a vote you cast. This can be a social "move" as well.

- Try and think of something that not many people know about or realize. Some of the best strategic moves are those that players don't know about until after the game is over, when confessionals are read.

- If you want to name another person's move that impressed you in a game, cool. But this thread should also be about inflating our own egos by telling the ORG universe about our personal accomplishments. Name something you did yourself.

- Avoid a move that you and your bestest alliance buddy made together. Let's look at individual decisions, those that one player made, possibly without other players predicting or knowing about at the time, that affected the game as they knew it.

......and go!

Getting to know everyone via infiltrating the Survivor alliance, then smooth talking my way to final three before winning the final HoH and ousting Clay, as Will Mega in Vertigo 8. (A strong contender since I won this game and went on to become The Greatest Vertigo Player of All Time)

V4: Correctly handling my relationship with White Dani aka WD40. Might have single handedly won me V4.

actually I think it was you being the least douchey of the three, and believe me it was a horrible douche-fest of a F3 in that one.

:kudo

Mine is probably getting EVE out in V7. I dunno.

Too bad the gameplay as Dan didn't translate to V8 when Boo got Megaowned. OH SHIT I WENT THERE

I'll mirror what UD said, I'd say you winning V4 was primarily because your F3-mates were such douches. I tried my hardest in that jury house to not only get you the win, but get you the unanimous win, and it wasn't because I liked Dan or respected Dan's gameplay, it was because I detested Ryan and Robert so much. ^_^

Still thinking about mine. Hmm. :shrug

Created the abomination that was Lucunt.
When Bob, Kelly, and I decided not to throw the post-swap challenges in Gabon even though we were going to lose Corinne and Paloma...It's the only move that I can think of that completely turned the game around IMO. Had we thrown any challenge, I would have been idolled out, yet we managed to be the minority that gained majority post-merge and never let go.

Other moves might have benefited me and help me do better than I did in Gabon, but I can't think of something that drastically, DRASTICALLY altered the game like that did.

I don't really see myself as a big-move type of player. My favorite, though, (and UD is gonna hate me for this) was probably the power-grab in Nepal when I convinced Erik that I was on the outside and led the charge to form a "misfits alliance." That led to power players Parvati and Earl being booted and me being in the F3.

ETA: Also, playing both sides masterfully in V7. As much as I enjoyed two bitter enemies in the F2, I still can't believe it happened.

I'm going to go ahead and say that it was taking down the power-alliance on the Stars tribe in At The Movies. Basically, there was a tribe of 9 and a core alliance that consisted of 5 people and I was not one of them. But I got in really tight with one of them and they spilled all the info to me and then after a few rounds of getting in good with a few people (the main one being The Joker), The Joker and I overthrew the alliance and took control of the tribe. B)


Also, I had a few good moves as Candice that I'm proud of:

In Congo, at the f11 I think it was, I out-maneuvered two HIIs and an individual immunity by managing to convince two people to turn on their original tribe member in order to keep me. Then at the f7 I got Nate to team up with Sylvia/Ed who he hated to split up the three original Boma. And then at the f4 I convinced Nick to give me immunity because Ed/Danielle were going to team up against me. And then at the f3 I convinced Ed to take me to the f2 over Nick when originally Ed was set on taking Nick.

And then in GI I'm proud of somehow putting the huge feud Candice/Danielle had in Congo behind us in order to team up at the f10 and overthrow the Matardi3 alliance. And then after that Heidi/Candice who were also enemies at that point teamed up at the f7. I'm especially proud of my end-game in this game because I was the swing vote every round from f7-f4 and then Nick quit so me and Heidi could be f2. ^_^

In Tocantins I guess I'm proud of getting Brendan to flip back but I think that was more Taj? I guess maybe manipulating Sandy into voting Brendan with me at f5 but that ended up being useless anyway...

Omg Kobra! :wub: I'm proud of convincing Queen Toxic/Myn-T/Ka$h to keep me at the f8 over Froggy even though I guess the whole point of that move was to take me out? And then at the f6 I convinced Myn-T/Tank to take Toxic out over me. And then Granny and Myn-T may have taken each other out at the f4 if one of them won Manager and the other was in the hot seat with me? So I guess I'm proud of Kobra's persuasive skills in that game.

And I think that's it? Wow I guess I'm pretty full of myself. :unsure:

I would never hate you. You're too much of a god. And you were genius as Ash, you should've made F2 logically, lol.

Uuuhhh....

The whole Celes/Rikku/Terra thing was pretty hot until Terra decided to flip again. :lbf

You know, it might have been kind of a stupid move, but getting rid of Tonya allowed for the whole Dan and JP elimination in VASS. :shrug

I dunno. Latching on to people ftw. :wub:

Not getting in the way of The Greatest Vertigo Player of All Time, Will Mega, but rather falling under his spell and keeping him in the game during the tie.

EI Redux convincing Sally/Aras to vote out Dan instead of Bruce at final 5, since at F4 it gave me the option of forcing a tie against either Aras/Sally which wouldn't have been possible with Dan. Sally/Cirie/Aras were a tight three-way alliance and keeping Dan would've benefited both of them since they were aligned through being on the same tribe.

Voting with Marisa/Monica/Erik, a very well-hidden final 3 alliance, to vote out Kelly at F6 in Samoa was a game-changing move, but for the wrong reasons. :lbf

I was thinking of this one but thought it was more of an "alliance effort" since IMO you were just as much involved in it. Sydney :wub:
