I dunno if that's a fair assumption or not. I also wouldn't have kept more than 3 idols in the game if I were hosting (One on each starting tribe, one on the merge) But that's just me.

That's exactly what it did. I won't refute that the role was overpowered. Since Scotty seemed to plant a new idol after one was played, in theory once I got the first one I could have played it, gotten the next one, played it, and so on.

I just think people are ignoring my game in favour of saying 'he doesn't deserve it' (explicit words said by somebody...) because of what damage my role could have done, rather than what it did.

Quin wrote:Someone made a good point in the spectator thread. My role was overpowered, sure. But for 99 percent of the game, nobody ever wanted me out. It's not like I was hiding it. Half the game knew and you let me on my merry way, so in the end, it's mainly on the players heads that I got to the end.

I kept my end of the bargain.

Different. Those large pictures were super aggressive in a way that an avatar was not.It was like you were saying, "I am king, I am dangerous, I will take your fucking head off if you give me a chance". We did not want to give you that chance.

If you say so.

I do say so. You may want to believe otherwise, but it's true

We actually talked about this in Ponderosa; why women tend to do better in LMS games in general. And one reason we discussed was that overt aggression was viewed as threatening, and generally, though not always, that is a male thing. I tried overt aggression, and I got voted right the fuck out of there. You were overtly aggressive, and we felt threatened by it. True story.

Yes, my role was overpowered. No, it's not why I made it to the end. I think suggesting that my social game has nothing to do with it is just a god awful assumption, so hopefully my answers changed peoples minds there.

I believed you had three other guys that knew about my part in a five-way pre-game alliance.

INH told me about his role, and I agreed never to tell a soul about it. Despite the ammo that knowing who the poisoner was gave me to blackball INH, I kept my word. I even advised him to come clean to LoRab about it since I figured she would want to hear from the horses mouth and she'd understand it more versus if someone had figured out it was INH and told her.

Then how did Golden immediately know about it when I got BTSC with him?

DharmaHelper wrote:I think "The Five" got telephoned into "The Final Five". Quin and SVS put in motion my ouster before I could even touch base with Quin. Who by the way, wasn't the Mamana's original target. We wanted DF out, (by design...I had your back you monkey).


Anyway. Waiting for my chance to really knock some heads around for season 2.

S~V~S wrote:Congrats Opt!!

I voted for you, Quin. I was going to vote for Sorsha because she played such a subtle game, but your question answers blew me away.

Although I begged Juliets to do it for me at the time, I want to apologize to DH again, and say that if it gives him any solace, lying to him in that chat actually made me sick to my stomach. I was so stressed out about it, and I felt awful.

But you wanted to take out my whole tribe.

So I am especially pleased that two of us made it to final.

And Golden, never trusting you again

DH... he lied to me and to Quin. Same lie. Was INH even involved? DH, you are too corrupt and deceitful to ever trust.

I would have voted you dude. Congrats on Final Three... rumour has it there's a banner involved in that.

DharmaHelper wrote:Oddly I think Eloh's elimination hit me the hardest. She was my last BTSC partner alongside SVS, and I enjoyed our conversations RE: Loyalty. I think if she'd made it to the end she would have been in the running.

Linki @ LC: Some birdies told me you were talking all kinds of shit about me.

The fact is that I had a column in my spreadsheet just titled "DH", and people got a positive or negative number for how they were inclined to you. I started it when you started the King of the Island shit. I never wavered for a second from the Goal. I guarantee you that. Anything I said about you was about reading the results for our future benefit.
