[align=center]So last night I had to take a stand and I voted out Frodo. It kind of sucked becuase I really didn't have a good connection so I couldn't even try to explain why to him on PMs. He even asked me why right at the last second and I was fucking trying to respond but I couldn't before his permissions switched. I was waiting for the fucking page to load but it didn't. Oh well, I do not think I was getting his vote. I played him to hard, TWICE, so I don't even deserve it. Basically it came down to not being able to break up those three - Galadriel/Gollum/Frodo. I knew they were tight and they are good at challenges (well two of them anyway) and were not going to turn on one another. That and they had Orc with them (obviously he and I were the swing votes), so I would have probably been guaranteed fifth or worse depending on who one what and when. I am not saying my spot is too much better now. I THOUGHT it would be, but when Eomer went on his little "I hate Arwen" thing yesterday, I am sure I lost the trust of Pippin and Eomer, which I was counting on. Now they are probably set on going to the end with Legolas? I am not sure though, becuase Pippin tells me I am a goat pretty much and he think Eomer is not, so I could see him staying true. But then again, maybe not, he thought I was voting him off last night. Basically Eomer "figured out" what I was doing last night. Which I found odd because really? Was everyone in this game just sitting around NOT trying to get safety? I truly didn't think I was the only one. Other then Orc I guess no one else was trying to be safe no matter who won Big Brother or who was voting in a One Ring situation. Sure, it can come back to make people LIVID with you, but I can't help but try to put myself in a safe position. If Gollum had one Big Brother last night, I wouldn't have been nominated. So what I was doing worked. Even Eomer was trying to tell Gollum I was playing him basically, and Gollum didn't believe it. So playing both sides WORKED in that sense, I was safe from both ends last night, but it also blew the fuck up and can lead to more hatred then ever. Which I think it did. Now, the "flip-flop" game is a tight rope. I know people backstab, and people take out allies all the time, and some of the time are rewarded for it, but in this case I think I played people TOO hard. People believed me so much (before yesterday afternoon) that they were bragging to others that they had my vote. That is never good. Gollum and Eomer were both very smart to tell the other one that they had my allegiance, very smart. In a way, they probably should have ganged upu against me, but they didn't. I had worked hard to make sure that didn't happen, and it didn't. Back to the flip-flop game stuff. It is a different kind of game. I haven't really played it before, so it is rather exciting but it breeds paranoia. You are always wondering WHAT IF, so it has been mentally draining. But basically every vote I have made was, in my mind, logical. I had to vote for Gandalf becuase he owned and I didn't want to get to the F7 with that fellowship in tact. Frodo was a big threat. Obviously Gollum is the biggest threat, but he was immune. Anyway, I don't really feel the need to explain myself becuase I have been doing that in PMs this whole last night. My plan from here - get to the end anyway I can. Like Treebeard said, worrying about all this shit is useless is you aren't there in the end. So I need to look past the cries that I am a goat, and move forward for these next round. I think this next round will be easy, simply becuase I have the idol. There is a 50% chance it is Big Brother, and if it is speed, I would give a 80% chance to Gollum winning. There is a good chance I would go up, but I also think Legolas/Orc might go up since they are bigger challenge threats. But I think I would use my idol in that case. Being a replacement nominee and leaving with an idol would fucking suck. If Galadriel wins and HoH, I go up for sure. She is disgusted with me and stupid ass Legolas is fueling that fire. I guess I can try damage control once she is un-Caved, but it won't do much. She is after me and she will try to turn everyone against me, I am sure. As far as One Ring goes, if it shows up, I just have to hope I am a voter. Otherwise it would be too easy for everyone to be like "fuck that flip-flopper," and go after me. That is if Gollum isn't immune. I think Gollum would go no matter what if he was vulnerable, but in a OR format, there is no way he's not. Either way, I would probably play the idol just to be sure. In a Survivor round, I think I would be ok, but I would be nervous. Again, if Gollum isn't immune, then I would feel much better, becuase leaving him in the game is stupid for anyone at this point. But if he is immune, then the target could shift to me. Galadriel isn't as much as a threat as Gollum is, so people might switch up their minds if she was the next available option. Or they might go for Orc. He is a challenge threat and has been riding the middle like I have for the past couple rounds. I still se Legolas as a big target to Gollum/Galadriel, but his target went down last night. Orc and I stepped into the line of fire and he benefited from that. I wish he had done something himself to deserve it, but I knew I would be out there as a target soon. I cannot really see Pippin/Eomer being targets right now actually. It is funny becuase Pippin could have went home last night, and now he is pretty secure. I say that though, knowing they don't know I have an idol. A Gollum/Galadriel win with a potential veto win from Orc with an immune me means one of them goes up. And with idols and prizes being all over the place, I can see it coming down to like two or three possible vulnerable people. So basically I have been saying this for a while but now it is more then true - I am on my own. I think I am playing this type of "play everyone" kind of game becuase I never felt I had a true number one ally. Once Elrond left, there was no question that people always had ONE more person above me. Galadriel? Maybe, but she was with Frodo/Gollum so that didn't help me at all. Legolas? Lol no. Eomer? He is with Legolas and Pippin over me. Pippin? I think he just likes to make everyone feel like he loves them. Orc? He never talks to me, but I wouldn't mind getting a one-on-one deal with him. We control the vote the last couple rounds so maybe. But I do not know how much that would even help me. Orc shouldn't be after me at this point so making a deal would just be making it to maybe break it down the line - it wouldn't really serve a protective purpose at this point. Reading this back it seems a bit jumbled, but so are my thoughts at the moment, so it is fitting. I need to write more but I do not know that I will. I will probably be updating this throughout the day. [/align] |

No, I know. I just read back what I wrote and it sounded defeated masked with :lbf. Just letting you know I am now. I just feel like the road to Mordor, if you will, will be even tougher now. |

Of course when I try to talk to Orc he has one good PM and then just leaves.

Galadriel is very smart for calling Legolas my puppet. He's not, clearly. But his ego is huge, so he will resent that and probably gun for me, or at least talk more and more shit on me. Good move. |

Hey you Congrats much on Final 5 indeed! You are safe for this round no matter what, how does that feel? Do you think you'll need your HII tonight or will you play it regardless of the format or Power Challenge winner?What is the exact plan tonight? And being so close to the end now, who do you think you need to be with and who do you want in the end with you if you make it? Good luck so much tonight!

I just know how it is, I misshandled bitches a fuckton in CBB3, so I know how it feels, it's a point where you are like "Fuck, I am not going to win this game, people hate me" but it's not always the case.
