[Cybele]

Cybele

, why should Devotress take you to the Final 2? Do you expect him to?

There really isn't any good reason for her to pick me over Starbuck. I'm happy with whichever choice she makes, but I don't expect to make it any further than here.

[Starbuck]

Starbuck

, why should Devotress take you to the Final 2? Do you expect him to?

I think Devotress should take me because we have been honest with each other from the get go. She was understanding about a lot of things with me during the game, such as when I didn't want to place a vote on people in my alliance. We've trusted each other for a good portion of the game, and I hope that it continues.

I expect Devotress to take who she feels she should take. Although, I may have just opened up myself for a blindside. Either way, it's been an awesome game and I've had a blast.

[Starbuck]

Also, my weekend was uber busy. I had no time to sit down and complete this challenge.

Strategically, it is smarter to vote out Cybele, he's got alot of friends I think, on the jury. In terms of loyalty, it's also the right thing to do to vote out Cybele. Starbuck and I have been working together since the real merge.

vote Cybele

I'm taking starbuck with me to the final 2.

[Charnel]

sorry cybele. It seems to be the same everytime: everyone just wants to use you

[Cybele]

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, lol.
Anyways, I had a great time, and I don't regret a thing. Good job, Starbuck and Devotress.

[Starbuck]

<3 Devotress <3

[chauchaudotcom]

Very nice~ Congrats to the final two!

[ShadowLurker]

Seventeenth person voted out and final member of our jury...

Cybele.

I'm sorry but the tribe has spoken. Please bring me your torch.

Congratulations Devotress and Starbuck! It's been a long 37 days but you have made it as far as you can go in this game. Out of four women to start the game, you two have managed to make it to the end, quite a feat indeed.

[ShadowLurker]

The power now shifts to the Jury, 11 people you had a hand in voting out.

Cybele, Flava Flave, Charnel, Rally Vincent, chauchaudotcom, Sudo_Nym, mask man, crywolf20084, tubby216, Crazy, TheLonging, come on in, you eleven will decide the winner of this game.


But first, Devotress and Starbuck, please post an opening statement within 48 hours. After that, the jury may address you and after that is complete, we will have a closing statement, and then the jury will vote.

[Flava Flave]

10) Who is the dark horse to win?

My answer made the Final 2 lol.

I'd been looking forward to opening statements all game thinking I'd be there.

Good luck Devotress and Starbuck. My vote is still up in the air.

[mask man]

Devo, you should have asked the Jury who to take out. Since you picked Cybele, you're going down now.

[Devotress]

Opening statement.

I figure the best way to do this is just explain the strategy I entered this game with.
Early game the plan was just to be a strong challenge performer, no one would want to get rid of me if I kept helping us win immunity, later on though:
The idea was to be open and honest with several people from different sides of the game. So when we were getting to the merge I started talking heavily with Starbuck, Sudonym, Charnel, and Chauchau. The idea was I was befriending two people from either side of the game: charnel and chauchau from sunkist, and sudonym and starbuck from sumhas.
The plan here was if there were people on both sides of the game who trusted me and knew I was honest, then they'd keep me from getting votes and want to use my vote. Every tribal I'd just straight up PM these people and say "Hey I'm voting out ____, who do you want out?" I'd follow through with doing what I said I was going to do, because it was important I had a reputation as being trustworthy. Ultimately, there is proof this plan worked by the fact that I didn't recieve a single vote against me untill the final 4.
Going further in that, I believe my reputation for being trustworthy played a large part in me being able to trick Cybele into voting out Flava in the big 2-1-1 vote I pulled off. If i'd schemed and tricked my way up to the top 4, Cybele never would have went along with it, and I could well have gone home. That is why I openly shared how sudonym got voted out, it just gave me more points for being earnest.
I voted out cybele to stay true to my original loyalties in this game, and here we are now.

I think that explains why my strategy was through the game, if I missed anything you're curious about just ask of course.








@ maskman: If you're going to vote against me because I voted out cybele, than you would have voted for him had he been in the final 2 anyway.

[mask man]

I wish I could say tl;dr just to be an ass, but I actually read it.
So yeah, everyone burn Devo.
