THE BIG FLYHN GAME SUMMARY
here we go...
Week 1/F32
Almost immediately I was recruited to the OG Claw Tribe's main alliance by Blazade. I learned that King was the one who proposed the group, which consisted of Blazade/Me/King/Memoric/zorbees. King had apparently done this in response to an alliance of Mikaav, MK, and PD. We lost the immunity this week and MK was voted out, seen as the weakest link among those three.
Week 2/F30
We won immunity this week. Not much happened
Week 3/F28
Lost immunity. We predicted a swap soon and as such elected to take out who we perceived as the stronger of the two players outside our "5 guys" group, Mikaav.
Week 4/F26
Won immunity
Tribe Swap
I was drafted to New Root tribe by Whydon, who went on to immediately butter me up about how much he wanted to work with me, and he already had Myzo as an ally from his previous tribe, and he was sure he could convince Wob to vote in our favor as well. It seemed like a decent deal and none of my previous allies were with me, so I figured this was a good arrangement to go with
Week 5/F24
It's no secret New Root for the three in-game weeks it existed for didn't win a single tribal immunity. This week was notable for the controversy surrounding the vote... I very nearly went home right here due to poor communication and me believing up to this point votes weren't revealed until deadline REGARDLESS of how early all votes were recieved. My vote change from Wob to Asek was ruled too late... but thankfully Wob's change to Asek from me wasn't, due to the hosts simply missing it from it being an edit rather than a new message. I still threw my vote due to the error through.
Week 6/F22
Lost again. Myzo flipped on us due to a pre-existing out-of-game bond with Mithril, but Wob's swing vote decision was to side with Whydon, so Mithril was voted out
Week 7/F20
We decided to take Wob over Myzo due to last week's flip, and yet again Wob voted with us. At this point he had cemented himself as a reliable partner for Whydon
Groudon & Kyogre tribes
I was quite impressed with Groudon when I first learned my tribemates Whydon and I stayed together, but in addition four of the five members of my original alliance were on this tribe. With Whydon also on our side, we could be unstoppable... or so I thought
Week 8/F18
I was attempting to get Whydon to act as our 5th member for this tribe, and King for reasons I still don't know trusted PD, who KNEW he was the last OG Claw that wasn't in the alliance. We couldn't convince him, and Whydon also sided with the LC/CAP group due to an early game connection with Hilo, and zorbees was out.
Week 9/F17
I questioned Whydon, and despite it being blatantly obvious he was involved in getting rid of zorbees, he tried to pin it on King, a player that I knew first hand ALWAYS without fail sides with his original tribe over all else. I didn't buy it for a second, and the fact the lie was so blatant made it clear he had no real intention of working with me, yet he was still hellbent on keeping me for some reason.. King managed to get Memoric voted out before he was with an immunity idol lie, but at this point there wasn't a thing we could do short of starting to win tribal immunities. Thankfully our opponents on our tribe were honorable enough to at least abstain from throwing
Week 10/F16
Our luck was running out here. The LC/CAP team had seen through King's immunity idol lie and got rid of him. As to pretend to be Whydon's pawn, and since even if i had voted against it King would've been sent home anyway, I voted King here. This helped retain Whydon's trust just a bit longer
Week 11/F15
FINALLY an immunity. My connection with Whydon ensured I would never really be on the chopping block until at least all my other Claw allies were gone.. but why bother when he was blatantly lying to me already?
MERGE
At merge, I re-established contact with Blazade, and made contact with King/zorbees allies on New Dome, Dle and Jalmont. Originally I hadn't even considered Heal.. but circumstances were going to get interesting quickly.
Week 12/F14
Whydon was a threat now, though I was still keeping that door open at first just in case nothing else worked out. Can't remember who between Blazade and Pidge won immunity here since it was never posted, but neither of them were even close to the chopping block so it doesn't matter. I was gunning for PD this week out of LC paranoia left over from last game's result (that had been proven true to some extent with the events of Groudon) and he was the LC that made things the most personal. The vote ended up being a tie between PD and Hilo. At some point this week Dle had introduced me to Heal, someone Whydon seemed to not like at ALL at this point and was warning me about. But because Whydon had lied before I took what he said with a grain of salt here and trusted Dle's trust in Heal, flipping my vote and getting rid of Hilo. After all, I could always get PD next week, right? And Hilo was also one of the people who stomped my Claw allies, I had no issue getting rid of him. I saw him and Whydon proposing an F3 and claiming they planned to flip on the LC/CAP group with me if we had lost the final tribal immunity even though that'd just be a needless rocks risk for them as nothing more than a desperate attempt to save Hilo.
Also of note was the excuse here was bought. That being a fake alliance Viper leaked, and Hilo being part of it so I decided he'd be a better choice. Whydon bought it, so I guess it served well enough.
Week 13/F13
PD won immunity, which threw a wrench in my gameplan. We decided Wob wouldn't be too hard to sell as a vote, given he was another Whydon ally and nobody on Kyogre really seemed to have a strong connection to him. However, Dle was the one who was voted out. Since it was still VERY early into our partnership and none of my other allies made a fuss about it my reaction was basically "Oh. Well shit, that sucks. Still have numbers if Whydon continues to believe I'm his pawn", which oddly enough, he did.
Week 14/F12
I don't remember this being a very eventful week. Blazade won immunity, and we successfully managed to rally ourselves and Whydon's group who was pissed at PD for being part of the Hilo vote to get rid of him.
Week 15/F11
Whydon was starting to catch on to the fact that he was the biggest target now that PD was gone, and started to talk about his idol and how we shouldn't vote him because of his idol. THIS i thought, was bullshit. It was finally time to decide which side I was taking, and it all came down to whether or not Whydon actually had an idol as he claimed. My thought process was "If he's scared enough to reveal he HAS an idol, why the hell wouldn't he use it unless it's a lie?". So i decided that I'd join the vote against him this week, and we had managed to piece together Heal and Viper's partnership and he decided to go with a Viper vote over Heal. Fine by me, anything as long as the deflect didn't go to me, and losing Viper would've been a big blow to Heal. Unfortunately, I overestimated how much Whydon still trusted me... apparently enough to not use the idol even though he had it and knew he was the game's biggest target. Up until Whydon said he had it above, I had no guilty conscious over getting rid of him because I thought him going home here proved he was lying to my face about having an idol... but it turns out I was wrong. You should've used it ;-;
Week 16/F10
Heal's immunity run begins here. Now that Whydon himself was gone I had officially chosen my side, and it was with Heal. I was aware he also had a connection to Viper/Animus, but i also knew pushing it would lose me my ally and my numbers, since Me/Blazade/Jalmont couldn't have vote control at this point no matter what we tried. Without Whydon the next step was clear out his allies, starting with proven immunity threat Pidge
Week 17/F9
The only immunity Heal didn't win from F10 onward, and it was won by none other than the OTHER major Whydon ally left and our intended target that week, Wob. Instead, we decided to go for sparktain, who could've reignited the CAP group and potentially become an immunity threat. The vote was unanimous.
Week 18/F8
From this point forward Heal was the sole immunity winner. Continuing our trend and knowing we only needed Heal to stay close to Viper/Animus to have numbers for just one more week, we decided once more to get rid of Wob, who at this point didn't have any allies left himself. Heal had other plans though, and this is when his true intentions started to come into fruition. The vote resulted in a tie, which in the second vote was broken by Heal to send Jalmont home. Because of this, we needed to continue to let Heal stay close with Viper/Animus to maintain numbers, though Heal was the one truly in control of the game now. Wob would NEVER side with me at this point due to what I did to Whydon, and Haruno wouldn't because... i had never talked to him up to that point, what reason would he have to actually side with me when asking him in the first place would make me look desperate?
Week 19/F7
I was hellbent on getting rid of Wob, since I felt Wob was a more likely to take CAP's side in a swing vote than Haruno was. Though Blazade thought doing anything other than following Heal's desire for a Haruno vote was suicide since we lacked the numbers to try to fight it for a Wob vote. I begrudgingly accepted as to not make a public scene by voting Wob anyway, and it was a unanimous vote for Haruno
Week 20/F6
Last chance. We desperately needed Viper to go over Wob this week to split up the Heal/Viper/Animus trio, but Wob seemed hellbent on eliminating Blazade and I instead if his late voting habits are to be believed. We kept the vote unanimous to hide the fact we were on to Heal, though my vote confessional with my Wob vote was literally "WP Heal, you got the F5 you wanted". But as anyone who knows anything about these types of shows themselves will tell you, the person who puppetmastered the game rarely actually wins. The jury flat out doesn't let them.
Week 21/F5
This was the point where I'd finally get to see Heal's next move after making the F5 he wanted and obtaining full control of the game. I was confident I was sticking around, and if I could somehow I'd keep Blazade to earn brownie points for loyalty with the jury. There's a reason despite legitimately working with Heal at this point now despite knowing we weren't his only F3 since the week Whydon left, I STILL refused to confirm to Heal his theory about Blazade taking Animus over him to finals was right on the money. Unfortunately though, he HAD come to that conclusion already himself, and Blazade was the one sent home this week
Week 22/F4
For the record, I knew your setup in round 1 of the immunity challenge was intentional. I just thought no matter what your team was Viper had been unlucky and given some pretty crap sets compared to what I had, and I wouldn't want to take them unless I could 100% confirm a type advantage.
Anyway, Heal started to talk with Viper and I both after this challenge. He couldn't take both of us, but he also didn't feel comfortable stabbing either one of us at this point. I accepted the idea of forcing a tie and having a challenge decide it, which had the added bonus of giving me a challenge win for people on the jury who care about that aspect should I make it. But then Viper decided to go behind Heal's back and try making deals with me regarding the challenge, something Heal had none of.
...anyone need further clarification?
