Hey IDI, I'm mot really sure what happened last week. It seems from the podcast and discussion thread that Space was tricking me. All I was told was that you were targeting me, and if I voted for you I'd be fine, but it seems that either that never went anywhere, or it never happened at all. I liked our alliance, and I'm not sure why you (or Space) would try to break it up. I'm still down for working with you, but I need to know what happened.

I think you played a brilliant game this year among personal conflicts and time.

However, I would actually like to know how my elimination went down, purely out of curiosity. Were there any talks about it? Were you involved in any of it?

Thanks Puff! So, your elimination was quite a mess...and I personally don't even remember exactly how it went down, so I may get a few things wrong and people can feel free to correct me :p
Anyways everyone was talking to everyone as you know, and the main goal was to just try and establish a tight group to make sure you weren't the merge boot. Space, Flippin, and I established a tight group out of all this, and we compared some notes. Basically, we found out that your hand seemed to be in the most cookie jars, and we decided to try and target you. That's the gist of it, but I'm sure there was a lot more to it :p

IDI - Damn it I had a bunch of question for you, and your first paragraph was about me being your trusted ally.
- However I still have doubt even though you say you were allied with me. I'm not 100% sure since all this IDI talk in other's prior posts. Where you truly my ally all the way? Or just like tiki last season your trusted player, were you going to backstab me?

You were definitely my closest ally, you were for sure with me! There may have been a few points where I snuck behind your back and talked to others where I didn't tell you ;) but never in the sense of trying to throw you under the bus or anything like that.

To the second part of your question, no, I had no plans to blindside you like I did with Tiki. That said, when you got out, there was still s lot of game left, so I can't say with 100% honesty that I never would have taken you out, it all depends on how the rest of the game goes and what I might need to do. But dont take that the wrong way, I definitely would have loved a repeat final two ;) :D

Yeah, that's right. That whole thing was really difficult.

Group Question
Since post-merge, all three of you have done a variety of individual projects. If you had the opportunity, which one of your projects would you go back and "plus" so to speak? Not for any sort of immunity...but just...what project would you as an imagineer like to have done better?
Click to expand...
I'd probably say the new DAK land project from when I was in WDW. That was a really cool project with lots of open area for creativity, but I just never really had the time to do anything worthwhile with it.
spacemt354 said:
individual question is this:
Was there any strategy to the projects where you were publically saying you were starting close to the deadline? Were you trying to make yourself look like less of a challenge threat? I'm just curious because last year despite vacations and I'm assuming work, you were always tenacious about the projects, so I'm honestly just asking if there was any sort of change in strategy to go along with what you said to be a more relaxed approach this season.
Click to expand...
Oh, not at all:p:hilarious:

That was just a mixture of either personal conflicts going on in my life (trying to balance school/track/other stuff going on with the comp), or straight up procrastination. So while I probably didn't do as well as I could with all of the projects, from the time I had avaliable I think I gave 100%. I see where you are coming from with that though. Though yeah no real strategy :p

@IDInstitute:

I really don't have any pressing issues with you, so I don't have any significant questions haha. So I guess you can answer this; what do you think was your worst project this year, and why? How would you improve it? Also, what would you do differently from now on to avoid having last minute projects like you did a few times this season?
Click to expand...
My main problem this season with projects was time management. Like I said with space, I think working on that and trying to avoid procrastination is probably what I gotta do. Also, again, I think my worst project was the DAK land one. I've always been wanting to implement a video style presentstion this season, so if I could improve it at a different date I think this would have been the perfect project to play around with it.

My jury questions:



And here's them in text form, but I explain my reasoning in the video, so watch that too.


@TheOriginalTiki - I'm gonna play bad cop for fun, so let's get something straight old pal. I formed the AntiSpace Rebel Alliance, went undercover as a member of the Merging Quartet to recruit you, Flounder, and Matt, and also took those two and went to spy on Space to get him to split his alliance's votes to get him out. So, how big was your role in getting him out actually? And what did you do to do that?

@Flippin'Flounder - See! I told you underdog isn't a bad thing. But you've basically just bee acting large in the clutch. So, how much of your success do you owe to pure luck, since many of us left you in just to get out bigger threats? And why should your approach of basically using people in your alliance to get targets on them not make you look stratigcally weak?

@IDInstitute - Ah! The second timer! Let's face it, you got to the finals last season just by backstabbing, and did the same this time by aiding in the break up of the merging quartet and sometimes targeting Tiki, who some of your own allies were teamed with. Since you tend to sometimes play dirty, why should a dirty player deserve to win not only once, but twice?

Hey DSquared!

So I got around to finally watching the video, and you ask why I should win again based on my concepts and sneaky gaming... Well, I mean, my answer is because those are the two things that make up this game! :p

I know I've played sneakily and dirtily a bit, but I mean, I don't think I have any more than say you or Tiki. Survivor is centered around being manipulative, and while I understand why that might cause a bit of ruffled feathers and leave a bad taste in your mouth, I think the other aspect of the game (my concepts) was also very strong and would be worthy of a vote ;) :p

But also you mention deserving to win, not only once but twice... And I'll touch on this again with RM, but I think having won already and making it to the end again just goes to show you how strong my strategic game was along with my imagineering game from the team and individual portion
