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

I still don't get why you think this was a good move. Did you ever read my confessional to see how loyal I was to you to a fault? EVE was never going to turn on Oda. I don't see how taking out an extremely loyal ally is your best strategic move. :shrug

Do you still not realize that by voting for you, she gained three concrete allies and no new enemies?

Big 4...

Sekou never flipping ever. Yeah I was a coattail rider, but there are 2 people, Ami and Frosti, that are damn glad I never flipped or forgot to vote.

Shark boots Roy.

Robert sells out WDani and that side alliance, while it seemed like a terrible move to get rid of one F3 alliance, it completely solidified the popcorn bromance with Ryan.

VAS Robert nominates Stephenie.

3? Didn't she just gain you? She already had Jules and Sara.

Im sure somebody's going to mention me voting a certain way in Mario Party.

Lol the person who played Luigi doesn't post here and that was ALL him. :wub:



As for me...I dunno really, I've played in too many games to keep track of these things. -_-

I guess the one thing that comes to mind is mutinying in Tocantins? Though some people would call that a no-brainer. ^_^ Going from guaranteed third boot to eventual third!

I just think nobody expected anything to come out of that mutiny twist so maybe it took some guts? :hee But really it was like choosing life over death. /The Hours

I'll find something better if it comes to me. <3

Obviously I was pissed because she didn't fill me in on it. Usually if someone's a close ally they tend to not leave you in the dark like that. But there was no use telling her it pissed me off because that would've resulted in ME having unwanted enemies or at least more people distrusting me.

Plus, I gotta admit that vote was really what led to me joining up with Frodo/MJ and rocking the doubletalk.

I wasn't sure if Will was talking about choosing between Team Green and Boo's Angels :lol:

*ahem* It's possible with Boo's Angels one of them doesn't swap stars with Birdo so Birdo continues her challenge dominatin' to the F2. How's that for ya Birdo? ^_^ alol jk :wub:

In no particular order

1) Something really effective that many people don't think of much during Stranded All Stars:
***Rudy (me) picking Misty (Cassidy) in the pickem during the switch. the order went Melinda>Rudy>Misty>Colleen>whatever I don't remember the rest. The point is, I knew that there was a good chance that Misty would pick Colleen, who was my biggest ally, and I knew that Melinda/Misty were tight, so it just became natural that this alliance would call the shots in our post-switch tribe. this simple move basically began the start of the game where I would become the most influential person in the game until the F4.

2) Jeremy (me) swinging to Ashley's (Blondie) side to boot Kourtney in Famewhore Academy. I don't know how strategic I was actually being, but originally, I was pretty inactive. We had just had a switched, and despite the ladies having a majority, they immediately turned on one another. Ashley was the first one to approach me between the two, so I chose her thinking of her as more active and probably a better ally. And the rest was history. Had I chosen to boot Ashley that day, the game would have went in a completely different direction. Had luck not played a big factor in my boot (Kobayashi's stick, the silly challenge, and CT being blacked out the last two votes [which saved him over IT and Jeremy]) Jeremy would have placed much higher.

3) Big Tom (me) booting Mikey (I forget) in FML's Sinners vs Saints. This is probably a move I am most proud of, because it stroke fear into my competitors' eyes after I did the move with such brute force. It successfully stripped Alexis (sp) of another bff and brought her to me, and while it ostracized Stephenie, it put everyone under my thumb. This move basically gave me control to boot whoever I wanted until the merge, and that's exactly what happened, putting my strong alliance of me/Alexis/Tom in probably the best position of anyone post-merge.

Three moves that were critical in helping me win Japan (well, two + one that would've helped):
1. At F11 I'm in the middle of two groups, even though I was technically a part of an alliance. I had never trusted Leann, who my opponents were targeting that round. My allies desperately tried to get me to keep her for numbers but I decided to seize the opportunity to get rid of her. In casting his vote for the winner (which turned out to be a 4-3 vote) Gregg said that this was a big part in why he voted me.

2. There was a huge feud between Amber and Lindsey and although I was aligned with Lindsey and stuck with her, I went to Amber and asked for her side of the story so I could get the full perspective. To be honest, I didn't really care but she really appreciated the gesture. Unfortunately she didn't show up for the final TC but she later said that she would've voted for me because of this.


3. Refused to vote for Greg at F7(?). He and Gregg were on the outs and we had the votes to take out Greg without me. I told people it was because Janet was threatening to quit and I couldn't vote for Greg over someone who didn't want to play. But this was 100% a ploy for jury votes. And it worked.

LMAO!

Pig Bomb will never die. I never will forget being sooooooo happy to make it to the jury phase, because I've never been hated by a cast so much in my entire ORG history. There were entire threads devoted to sharing how horrible I was.

I guess because it wasn't jury phase yet, I didn't feel the need to be nice to anyone; that was my justification. Oh me being a general noob to ORGs back then... :wub:

Well I actually TRIED being nice to you and Sally and Ozzy. You three were probably my favorites not counting Alexis/Fairplay of course. I generally got along with everyone post-merge. I ruled with an iron-fist premerge though... maybe that's why they all hated me. :unsure:

Just off the top of my head?

Probably at the final 8 in Vertigo 6 and orchestrating the Ganon boot last second.

Myself (Snake) and Sephiroth were the debated targets by Ganon who was running the show. My secret partner Robo and I were going to go along and boot Sephi, but I went and told Sephiroth that Ganon was going after him (because I was next despite what everyone was telling me)

Robo went along with me over his other final 2 partner, Sephiroth obviously voted along with me and we took out Ganon by a 3-1-1-1-1 vote (the other vote was nulled)

Ganon's alliance tried to switch the target from Sephi to me last second because I was leading the charge to take out Ganon, and we also managed to try to swing some voters, so some people factored their votes out of the equation allowing us to pull off the minority game changing vote.

Oh and this all happened in about 20 minutes :lol:
Paraguay - Amanda: 2/16
Vertigo 6 - Solid Snake: 1/14 WINNER
Harry Potter II - Bellatrix: 12/16 (Quit)
I Love BB Survivor - Mike: 4/18
Final Fantasy - Terra: 2/18
Samoa - Russell H: 10/20
Pixar - Marlin: 2/20
Nightclub 3 - Zookini: 2/18
HvV - Cirie: 11/20
CR's BvF - John K: 1/20 WINNER
SSBB - Solid Snake: 3/36
Chaos BB - Danielle: 9/13
Vertigo 9 - Drake: 7/18
Breaking Sunny - Jesse: 1/20 WINNER
Harry Potter III - Molly: 3/20
Versus - Solid Snake: 1/32 WINNER
PG4 - Marie Antoinette: 1/13 WINNER

Letting Jennifer be far too eloquent in her plea to Kelly be in the F2 while I played semi-mute (but not Michelle mute!) mouse at F3 in V3. It was a nice contrast and I think if Kelly was wavering at all it sealed the deal in my favor.
