Volume X: Demum, Chapter 1: Till I Die.

[Randy Bailey]

My final confessional whether I win (which I really should given my history) or lose this challenge right up to the FTC if I make it.

This challenge is a must win, if I lose I will be voted out. Simple as that. I intend on honouring my F2 Deal with Tom if I do win. I think I have the best knowledge, especially for the writing challenges and for the posters I do think I have the talent and creative flair to hold my own.

Let's hope so anyway

This could well be my last confessional if I lose immunity. Tom has said he will take me to the F2 however I strongly doubt this is the case given my overwhelming favourites tag to win this game. I think I want this more than the others, you can see that I started this the day we got it and did alot at the time and have continued to improve and chip away at it while most of them did it on the last day and although I hope this gives me an advantage in that their quality won’t be as good, I think it clearly shows the desire to win the game. I am with three players who, in my opinion, are not as deserving to win this game. I think loyal allies play an important part of the game but when I start hearing Terry talking about all the moves he has done this in the game I honestly just face palm at the sheer thought of him thinking by himself. It just horrifies me that he could be in the F2 having done probably nothing except a crucial (intentional I have heard) self vote the entire game. That is a deep, deep concern of mine and it would be a terrible ending if someone like him won this game. No disrespect to Terry, he is a great guy, but he does not deserve to win this at ALL. Tom and Ash have certainly played their part for my game and I am glad I was able to get them to stick with me and value the loyalty they showed. I would defiantly vote for either of them if they were there with Terry as he just amazes me. Some of his comments... Oh my...

If Ash or Tom don’t take me, I will understand as long as they admit that they didn’t take me because they thought they couldn’t beat me. If they come up with any other excuse and they are with Terry, I will be joining half the jurors in jumping off the nearest cliff. I just don’t see how Terry thinks anyone will vote for him, like I don’t want to be mean to the guy, but come on? Really? I told him that he deserved to win a while ago and that Sabaya will vote for him etc so that he didn’t try blindside me or try anything sneaky, and he seems to have really taken that to heart with some of his recent comments. Like he told me he was the biggest snake in the game? Another face palm moment brought to you by Terry. .

I am very proud of the way I have played, socially I think I have been outstanding, I can’t think of a single person on the jury that has a problem with me anymore and most of them have told me that I deserve to win, that I played the best game etc and I think I am on good terms with all of them. Strategically I have led the games winning alliance effectively with the Vinnere (+ Ash) alliance getting to the end filling 3 out of 4 of the last spots. I made this alliance, kept it strong despite the many factors that would cause people to jump ship. As Terry told me, fought the numbers game against a very tight alliance led by Yul and that is no easy task of breaking that. This all in the merge as well. Strategically before the merge I controlled all the tribes I was on and did worked towards the long term goal of gaining control at the merge. Physically it speaks for itself however I do think my social game and probably my strategic game out did it, just there is nothing “physical” to show for these two parts of the game like there is with the challenges/immunity. With all these factors, I do think I have played the best game socially, strategically and physically and most deserving to win the game

I hope this season you have enjoyed my confessionals and I do hope I can provide you one more after the next vote, but for now bye bye

I WON!!!!

I will vote Ash tomorrow but I will give her time to say her thing. She was so disrespectful to most of the game but I want to win by as big as possible and I worry she could get Mookie's vote or something. Against Tom I could sweep the jury potentially and that would be awesome. Also after Nat left, I made a F2 with Tom and I like to reward that loyality and will reward Tom for giving it to me. Its the F2 we never had after our first game together got cancelled

Some interesting things came out of the confessionals. Ashley has no respect for anyone it appears except Boston Rob. I can't believe she said most of that and it really changes my opinion of her and as several people have said it makes her seem two-faced. It's just really disappointing when you think you know someone and you see something like that. And Terry is so delusional it is kinda sad. He thinks he got me to play the idol at F13? What planet is he on? And he thinks he actually tricked me into me thinking he was voting with us? After I told him I saw the lies in his conversation? Idiot. He lied so much throughout his crap it is unbelievable. I just can't believe he truly believes that. So delusional.

[Randy Bailey]

I am pretty pissed at Ash right now after all those questions. There were just so many! In my opinion it seems like she was attention seeking or whatever but it was just not needed at all. Not funny at all I can tell you that aswell and its not just me who thinks that.

[Randy Bailey]

Terry and I had an interesting conversation early that perhaps the game isn't how I and others see it...

DarnIdol 1:06 am
(1:06:39 a.m.): i do to, also i hope we can be alligned some day so you can see how i actually play it is as Tom said my brain does work 24/7 and i do come up with millions of plans, it was actually my idea to boot rob c. because i knew everyone liked him and he was the glue in your alliance and to get nat out next because she was the talker. I also gave aras the idea of pushing for amanda because i thought yul would take an all casaya final 4.
PouncingOtter 1:07 am
(1:07:12 a.m.): How come you didn't vote for Amanda?
DarnIdol 1:07 am
(1:07:15 a.m.): oh and it was my plan to target cirie first
(1:07:32 a.m.): oh i needed to appear as part of my alliance at the time so they would not distrust me.
PouncingOtter 1:08 am
(1:08:22 a.m.): Yeah I obviously have never really played with you, well I did in Clash 3
DarnIdol 1:08 am
(1:08:28 a.m.): also by having aras do it, it pushed him into a position that i wanted him if i had gotten contro in the game the way i wanted it would have been me and aras final two because no one really liked him also that supposed power he had that was me, i was the puppet master pulling the strings

DarnIdol 2:14 am
(2:14:16 a.m.): honestly when it comes to a great allaince if all of us are working Right Yul is the guy who gets everyone together and gives us a common goal to unite us, i am the brains thinking out all the moves and talking to everyone making sure we are all on the same page and eliminating Paranoia. and Ethan is the nice guy of the group who helps people get along and accept each other for the time being to keep the alliance strong

Perhaps I was wrong about him earlier......

[Randy Bailey]

How the jury shoud vote...

Cirie - Me. I would be very surprised if she voted Tom, she heavily implied several times she voted me.

Amanda - Me. I think by the fact I have talked to her some and Tom hasn't, also the fact Yul should get her to vote for me.

Yul - Me. He clearly sees the huge gap in gameplay between me and Tom and respects my game alot.

Rob C - Me. I just know he will haha.

Natalie - Me. She told me.

Ethan - Me. Said in the FTC thread and I don't think he is lying.

Mookie - Me. I have heard he will vote for me and I think he knows I play a far better game then Tom. They have a past connection however it shouldn't be a concern.

Taj - Me. She doesn't like Tom and I think she knows like the rest I played a far better game than Tom.

Aras - Tom. He is a jerk going by this as he thinks me and Tom are too close in gameplay. Whatever lol.

Terry - Tom. He has some strange thing happening with Tom and he is delusional so 1+1= A vote for Tom.

Ashley - Me. She voted before Tom finished his questions and I don't think she is too bitter, hopefully Tom's answers don't change her vote.

So I hope I should win 9-2. Time to see how well I know this jury

[Randy Bailey]

Updated. Thanks Jaime and Erik for a great game, regardless of the result I think you two are very good hosts. Thanks to the PWs who have kept up with my threads, hope you enjoyed .

Bye
