Jury
Hello and welcome to Ponderosa. Unfortunately if you are seeing this your time in the game was cut short, and you were voted out. However, you are not done with the game as you still have a key role in it as a juror who will have a hand in determining the Sole Survivor at the Final Tribal Council of The Survivor Games: Jiangxi.
Until then, feel free to use this area to vent your feelings and discuss the events of the game. As well, I'd greatly appreciate if you could answer the following questions:
What did you think of you time in The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
Who among the remaining players do you think will win? Why?
Who among the remaining players for you want to win? Why?
Is there anything you wish you could have done differently in the game?
Who do you think will be joining you next? Who do you want to join you next?
Did you enjoy The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
Although you may no longer be competing in the game, I hope you enjoyed the time you had in it.
Thanks for playing!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxJuror #1

What did you think of you time in The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
I enjoyed it. It was an active game and lots of fun challenges and such. Unfortunately I didn't really get into my groove so that was a little disappointing. But from a game stand point it was an enjoyable experience.
Who among the remaining players do you think will win? Why?
I was pretty threatened by Reynold but I think he is pretty well recognized as a threat. If I had to guess I'd say PG will probably come out in top. She seems like a smart player but I don't think she is really on anyone's radar.
Who among the remaining players for you want to win? Why?
Andrea/Marty for obvious reasons. They are my Hiuayu homefries. I also am rooting for Fabio. I enjoyed talking to him a lot and even though I think he was pretty pissed that I revealed he told me about their plan he is still someone I really enjoyed playing with.
Is there anything you wish you could have done differently in the game?
I would have liked to be more active when we merged but I don't know if that would have helped. If anything that could have slotted me in the 12th spot. Perhaps distancing myself from Marty could have helped but I think after Joe/Chris left and our numbers had been lost I was as good as toast. Maybe jumping back to the first temple and becoming a captain so that I could ensure that Hiuayu stuck together.
Who do you think will be joining you next? Who do you want to join you next?
I think Marty and Malcolm will be joining me tonight. I wouldn't mind RC or PG coming next just because I had good intentions on working with them and if they leave next that means they should have worked with me.
Did you enjoy The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
As I said from a hosting perspective you did a good job, but I would have liked to do a lot better. I felt after the first couple rounds I was dominating this game and then the swap happened and everything went to shambles, perhaps things would have been different if I opted to become captain.

Called it! Welcome guys! Sorry to see you here.
It's unfortunate that this turned into such a pagoning. C'mon Andrea

Well, with the twist it really should've been fine on my end. But then again, my guess is appealing to people with rational thinking and logic only really works if they're thinking rationally in the first place. As for Malcolm, Andrea told me before results went up that he'd been trying to quit and asking people to vote him out.

That is really annoying

You know what else is annoying? When people kind of start being cowardly by staying off of AIM after IC results. Way to show you're ready to defend your game and that you want that Jury vote there, people.

What did you think of you time in The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
Well, it was certainly a challenging game that tested will, patience, and endurance for sure, lol. I think it was alright and good. It felt a bit too twisty at times sure, and I kinda feel a bit like I drew a bit of a short straw on tribe stuff and just couldn't get a break regardless of what I did, so that kind of sucked. Despite that, it was good.
Who among the remaining players do you think will win? Why?
Oh probably Reynold or something. He seems to be playing pretty well, had the luck of the numbers after the merge, and has people sticking with him even when they flat out admitted to me it didn't make sense to.
Who among the remaining players for you want to win? Why?
Well, Andrea for obvious reasons. Other than that, Fabio or Reynold probably. I mean, we need a guy winner soon too.
Is there anything you wish you could have done differently in the game?
I probably would've kept So if I had the chance to again with all the Malcolm stuff that happened after. It kinda felt weird we just let Lindsey kind of force that vote. I don't regret the Joe and Chris votes though, since those were their faults. They weren't able to try and get along with Sonja to get rid of the Wuyi's on the tribe despite my efforts of mending the bridge between Joe/Chris and Sonja.
Who do you think will be joining you next? Who do you want to join you next?
Andrea's probably going to be here next, which sucks as none of this is really her fault. Sierra coming in here next would be hilarious since she's really not as good or smart as she thinks. RC and PG coming in here next would be all kinds of karma-based, since if they did what I said, we'd have been up 5-3 in numbers with the other side unable to do anything. That, and they're kind of big pussies for avoiding me on AIM the entire time after the IC results because they I guess weren't able to deal with accepting the consequences of their actions or able to acknowledge that they could be wrong.
Did you enjoy The Survivor Games: Jiangxi?
Yeah, I'd say I enjoyed my time in the game. I'd have enjoyed it more if I stuck around and won though.

I was in a solid F3 tbh. What a shame that the others two were Sierra and Reynold and we had to kick one of those three. They have protected me when I wasn't here cause of being ill and I didn't want to take them out of the game cause my exams approach and I cannot give my 100%. But it was a dun game yeah, had fun.

If you had stayed and not gone out asking people to vote for you, and RC/PG/Brandon weren't dumb, I would've been able to swing it so you'd have had Final 3 with Andrea and I. I've ALWAYS wanted as much of an all-Huaiyu Final at the end as possible and I have no idea why you'd think going with Wuyi against us was ever going to be a good idea. Hell, I don't know HOW you could possibly think Sierra and Reynold would take you to Final 3 over their other allies. It's like Cochran in South Pacific, since there's no way that he should've expected that an alliance that was willing to draw rocks to stick together would EVER let him into the Final 3 with them.

While you were frustrating and your self vote and apparent quit really piss me off, I will give you a bit of credit for apparently integrating yourself into Wuyi.
I hope Andrea is able to do something. I really don't want to watch 7 Wuyi members fight it out.

Hadn't I quit, I wouldn't be going home, just so you know.
Not that I wanted to be with them wholeheartedly, but you know I have been ill, and I just couldn't socialise a lot and do challenges very well, so had to decide soon which my moves would be. They seemed consistent, and we wanted to move on together while they were completely carrying me, making the social part with the rest of the people. It was nice until it had to come to an end. I didn't spend a whole lot of time in the beginning, so I didn't have a huge Huaiyu belonging feeling, sorry.

Yeah, I know you wouldn't have been going home likely. That's partly what makes it all the more frustrating. I get that if you weren't on a lot in the beginning you can say you didn't feel like you "fit in" with us, but you also have to understand that a bunch of that can easily be perceived as being on you. Also, I do think that if you're looking at the numbers and such that you could probably see that even if you didn't feel you belonged with us as much, that you could've felt we "needed" you more than Wuyi did.

Probably, we will never know how things would have turned out hahaha.
Anyways, the game was fun and I loved getting to know you guys. Let's see what happens for the rest of the game <3

A blind auction challenge, huh? I wonder if they'll have it so each post you do before it starts counts as an auction dollar.  But in all seriousness, they'll probably just pool money so Andrea loses. Hopefully she got something like super bonus money, or knowing what an item is from the Temple. Also, I shouldn't have laughed when I saw Chris post as the host for that Tasmania game, and Joe post as a player from the series but like...you guys gotta admit it explains a bunch, lol. |
