Well it is the end of the road for us. Aras has lied to me practically the entire game and just screwed his entire shot at winning this game, which is an absolutely terrible move. I am shocked that he would throw away what we had so quickly. What more he couldn't even man up and tell me the truth. So if he expects to win this game by winning Immunity Challenges I am sorry to inform him but that is a very bad mistake on his behalf. And Terry? Lol. This guy is a complete joke. He does nothing the entire game and expects to make AS? Are you kidding me??? I gave him the opportunity to make a move and he went to go do something with his wife. Whatever I suppose. I knew he was lying the entire time so I didn't expect him to flip but he would be that stupid to tell us he was flipping in the first place? Do these people realise we are going to make up 6 people on the jury?
It just disappoints me that at the end of the day, this game will be won by people who dominate challenges. It's not what its about in my opinion. It should be a strategy game and all.

The plan of attack
Despite my earlier disappointment, I am not giving up. I have been to cautious this game with the exception of the James vote so it is time for me to go hard at getting someone to flip. Here is what I plan to do:
- Approach Amanda about flipping. Tell her that they plan to vote her off in 7th in order to keep them strong. Show her the convo where Ethan, Taj and Yul approached Nat about a F4 alliance. This second part will be done by Nat. She will offer her a Casaya on the outs alliance with her, Amanda and Tom. Ashley said she is unflippable because of Boston Rob's attempt but I can atleast try... Shes done nothing the whole game so no way she deserves to go far. I hope we can scare her atleast.
-Approach Terry. This will be done mainly through Tom. They seem to have a connection through a past game so they will speak and we can see what happens. I am not expecting much but lets hope. Ashley will also talk to Terry. She is quite good at manipulating people and she will also be set lose on Aras.
-Aras. I will get me, Rob, Ashley and Nat all to work on him. He is the key. He said he didn't flip because of the fact he hadn't spoken to anyway and said that he had told me not to use the idol. He wanted to use it next round. I have hope, hes kinda like a drug, you know you don't want to, but you keep going back to it. So I hope I can flip him. This is where my money is at. I am keeping Tom away from them as they have a past history and that could get in the way. However Tom may be able to revive their relationship, who knows. I have offered him F2. Whether that happens it remains to be seen. I back myself in these situations so I think I can do it.
-Get onto Devils Island. This is important as we need to make sure they don't get that idol. Ashley is good at the puzzles so hopefully she can get there. Would save a mess later on.
-Win the IC. This is pretty important as it would narrow down the targets. If Nat or me win, we will give it to whoever the TY alliance is targeting. I can't trust the other three to win 100% against Amanda (please make sure it is a challenge she can't cheat in i.e board posting) so I need Nat ideally to be targeted. Tom is moderatly good at the challenges and Ash may be risky but I think all could beat Amanda. If Rob is being targeted and Nat gives him the neckless, I imagine that Nat will be targeted. I can put my faith in Nat to win Endurance or Flash or Puzzle or anything. We must win a TB to advance and gain a 6-5 advantage.
-Act defeated. I think by doing this we can gain that vital info. Yul will be more than happy to appease the "jury" by handing out info so I hope I can continue talking to him and gain extra stuff from him.
-And of course, provided this works, win the TB!
At the end of the day, we are doing whatever it takes to get to the end. I have told nearly everyone to offer anything to get far. F2 or whatever needs to be done. Lets hope we can pull it off.

Its an ongoing plan. It is quite hard to contact Amanda as it is so we will try PMs and offline IMs and hope something happens. In reality we are betting on Aras so I don't have too much hope... |

At the end of the day, we are doing whatever it takes to get to the end. I have told nearly everyone to offer anything to get far. F2 or whatever needs to be done. Lets hope we can pull it off. Heres a review: -Nat approached her about this and said if she was voted off, she thinks we will pick her up. Funnily enough it was pointless as we targeted her in the end and she is odds on favourite to go home. -Tom approached Terry and Terry ignored him. Typical lol. As I said to Tom, I expect he will start to recieve those PMs  -And Aras, which was my job in the end. He flipped forcing a tie and therefore the TB. This was truly brilliant. Something to use at the FTC if I can make it of course. I always thought he would flip, but the fact people doubted it made it so much better. I had to get everyone to start talking to Aras, I have noticed perhaps a minor flaw in my game is that its generally only ME that tries to get the people to flip, when truly you need the whole team to atleast be talking, getting them to know who they are aligned with to make them feel comfortable and all. Yeah it can work if only me and the person (in this case Aras) are talking about strategy but for some people you need to get them comfortable. Not always the case, but its something for me to remember for the future. -Once again, I stepped up on my favourite challenge and somehow beat Ethan in an epic last minute attempt. Although we didn't find the idol, I think I rallied the alliance around trying to find it. All to no luck. We will continue to look though. -Nat won immunity, absolutely fantastic. And she gave it to their intended target, although I didn't expect it to be me haha. Nat I think knew it could be me or Rob, although I thought the same, I thought Rob more likely. First time I have been surprised by something she has done. I got on and found out I have immunity lol! I expected her to give it to Rob however she did the best thing in giving it to me it appears as they were targeting me. This was definatly a good move as it also worked with the Devils move and made them think Nat had the idol. -We have acted defeated and it seems to have worked with them sometimes giving up some info that perhaps they wouldn't have earlier. They have also been more relaxed and probably telling more people too many things. -And currently Tom is winning the challenge by a biggish margin! |

Btw, I need to tell you of my Karma policy for my alliance which I made after hearing of Nat's good work and after TY alliance made a attack on Rob's and my karma.
