First I want to know how well do you guys know me, so each of you have to send me by PM the answers for this questions: 1) my real name 2) how old I´m 3) where do I live (Country) 4) I have how many Brothers and sisters? if you dont know this answers please, at least try second, I have questions for each of you, so: Sugar, we've never spoken before, not even a hi, then please convince me, why should I have to vote for you to win? Steven, we've played another game together, and in both cases, unfortunately we fall into different tribes. but unlike the previous game, where I saw you as the leader, whom should I talk if I wanted to stay in the game, but here, I'm not so sure. then, please explain your game this time! Boo, you told me in my week of elimination, that you had changed your vote to try to save me, but now you're saying that you had an important role in all evictions, please explain it to me, you tried to save me or you were behind my elimination? thanks

Hey Greg! Plain and simple, I voted you out that first time, but I thought it was a tie and that's when I told you I'd change my vote to Stephen. I even had it written out and had it posted in my voting thread. So, the plan was just to eliminate you guys 1 by 1, but you'd be the last remaining of your former tribe since you actually did stuff. Since Stephen disappeared, I decided I'd try to keep you around longer, but Stephen wrote out a bootlist and it resulted in you leaving....Hope that helps....

Hey Greg! I'll send you the answers to that soon, ok?
Steven, we've played another game together, and in both cases, unfortunately we fall into different tribes. but unlike the previous game, where I saw you as the leader, whom should I talk if I wanted to stay in the game, but here, I'm not so sure. then, please explain your game this time!
Yeah, I will admit this wasn't my best game by far. See, I never actually aim to be a leader in any of the games that I play. I like to sit back, and observe. I like talking to a lot of people and getting a feel for the game and all the people in it, so I can make smart choices and play the game the best that I can. I go into pretty much any game planning to play it like that, but for the most part I'm a really reactionary player; I base my game around the game and the people in it.
In Costa Rica, there were a lot of active, interested people who all wanted to talk and discuss the game. Even the ones who weren't active on AIM were active via PM and were frequently on the boards. It was easy to talk to people and be active, and for some reason people ended up seeing me as the leader, which I never set out to be. I did the best that I could with that though and while the game never completed I think I was doing well with it.
Here, though, I got off to a bad start and things never really got better. I didnt start firmly socializing with people and when I started, a lot of times I felt like I was just bouncing words off of a brick wall. People weren't very active and there was never a lot to talk about, and the only people from my tribe I saw on AIM were Boo, who I did talk to, and Benry, who was always mobile when I saw him on. I figured putting myself too much out there when everyone else was so quiet and inactive was just a bad idea because it could make me a target, so I sat back and waited for something to happen. And then... nothing really happened. Votes went the way they were supposed to, and the one time they didn't was the time that I wasnt able to be here to play it out. My phone issues had been gradually increasing, which made playing the game to my fullest near-impossible, and then it finally died for a full week.
So my game here ended up being very quiet, and at times due to circumstances beyond my control, lapsed into inactivity. I worked with what I had going for me, though, and played as honestly and strategically as I could given the obstacles in my way.
I did what I could to ensure i was doing everything possible to give myself an advantage and play the game out to the end, including aligning with Boo and communicating with him as much as possible, leaving a bootlist weeks before the time I went missing once I realized my phone problems were getting worse, winning immunity the one time I felt like I desperately needed it, and keeping myself in a position where even though my circumstances could have ended my game, they didn't.
I played the game I needed to play, and I never did anything I regretted.
