- Fri Oct 07, 2016 4:23:45 am #3286 First of all, Congratulations for making the merge on this All-stars season! It's a big accomplishment, you've outlasted 11 players, nearly half of the players in this game.

Here's where the real fun begins. Where legends are made and the real season is defined. I want to wish you the best of luck and I know I don't have to tell you this because you already know... Leave it all in the game, don't waste any opportunities because you may not get another chance to redo them.

So I have a lot of questions but I'll start with a few:

1. Now that the Merge is here and it has gone to an Individual game, how will your strategy change?

2. Are you worried about any alliances or groups in particular? Do you think that the previous tribal breakdowns will factor into this merge at all?

3. Are you concerned with any threats in the game, and if you are a threat... are you concerned with being targetted for being a threat?

4. Now that the merge is upon us, players begin to look towards the finals and WINNING the game. How do you plan on proving to your other players that you deserve to win amongst all of these all-stars?

5. Who would you ideally like to team up with and who do you want to see gone ASAP? Are you planning on stepping outside of your comfort zone and making new allies/friends in this merge?

- Fri Oct 07, 2016 1:08:14 pm #3339 Firstly, how fuckin stupid was Sugar at the tie-breaker? I legit nearly kept Mookie because she was pissing me off so much. Comparing throwing a challenge to shit Dale has done She was too dumb to just say yes to anything I wanted and I wasn't asking for that much. I knew Drew would see my shit about throwing the challenge and would see it done even if Sugar was being retarded like she was...but fuck. I wasn't actually expecting her to be like "no I won't do that to my tribe". FFS, all you would have to do is return my favour, throw the challenge and vote off Nate. Wouldn't have been hard.

I feel for Mookie. Wish he'd been there to state his case. I probably would have kept Sugar anyway because I can use her, but still felt shitty to boot Mookie that way. We had an interesting relationship on Pohnpei. I felt like we could have had a really interesting story together in this game ending with us trying to kill each other before the finals. Wish it could have played out a little more like that but by keeping him I would have fucked myself.

1. Now that the Merge is here and it has gone to an Individual game, how will your strategy change?

Technically the game is individual now but I still need to stay the course with my original ideas unless I need to switch things up. Plan right now is to keep dominating like I have been. I feel like I've played one of the best games so far and I'mma keep it that way by eliminating the people who are of no use to me.

2. Are you worried about any alliances or groups in particular? Do you think that the previous tribal breakdowns will factor into this merge at all?

Saipan bitches + possibly Nate/Ozzy worry me a little bit. I don't think those cunts could organise a root in a brothel but I'm not going to underestimate them. Though they really fucked up with how they treated Hayden & I over there. Unheard of gameplay to just ignore someone. Then he fucking dominates a challenge, gets himself to the merge...now you want to suck his dick? Fuck off

3. Are you concerned with any threats in the game, and if you are a threat... are you concerned with being targetted for being a threat?

Penner basically being an inactive yet NO ONE thinking of taking him out is just weird. If I'm on the jury and he's in the finals then there's almost no chance of him getting my vote. He's a good guy, but I don't respect not showing up to challenges and tribals. It makes me sick that he's gotten this far with people just riding his dick. Props to him though.
Am slightly concerned people see me as a threat. I was seen as top dog on Pohnpei (and I was, along with Drew) and the Saipan cunts were gonna come at me or Hayden at TC if we ever lost. No doubt they'll come at me or Drew on Sunday night.

4. Now that the merge is upon us, players begin to look towards the finals and WINNING the game. How do you plan on proving to your other players that you deserve to win amongst all of these all-stars?

I want to win, but I don't sit here and plan everything in advance. It's gotta be taken round by round. You can have an eye on the end game and I do, but you have to keep your focus in the now. I have a lot of ideas going forward but it doesn't mean shit if I can't pull off another successful day on Sunday.
I've played a strong game and continue to do so. I don't really care about sitting next to goats. I'd sit next to Sierra/Drew and battle it out with pleasure. Ideal F4 is those 2 and Hayden since they're my loyal pals from this game. That could change in my mindset but right now I wanna work with all 3 of them and I know all 3 of those folks see me as their #1 ally.

5. Who would you ideally like to team up with and who do you want to see gone ASAP? Are you planning on stepping outside of your comfort zone and making new allies/friends in this merge?

Who I want to team up with: Hayden, Sierra, Drew, Sugar & Rocky + Nate/Ozzy/Val until I no longer need them.
Who do I want gone: TBH, Heidi deserves to be sent packing. Nonstop being a cunt to Sugar for no reason. She was a retard on Pohnpei then barely talked to me on Saipan since she thought she was in power. Well, the tables have turned now, haven't they? She'll have to go back to sucking my cock.
I'm always willing to step out of my comfort zone but I'm not gonna do anything stupid just to entertain lurkers/alumni/hosts. I can entertain people just by being me and doing what I do best, which is being righteous, loyal and a lord.

- Fri Oct 07, 2016 1:18:23 pm #3340 Going to have to convince Sierra to come with me to team up with Drew + Nauru. I don't know if I explained to her on Pohnpei that Drew will come with us in this game. I suppose it wasn't really proven back then, but I can vouch for his loyalty now. She's still not sure what the best play is but we traded novels so hopefully I can swing her back with me and onto team Danimal which includes Hayden and Drew primarily...then we've got Sugar & Rocky and we could get Ozzy or Val for a vote or 2 perhaps. Well, I don't really need to hope to get her back on my side. I know she'll come back with me.
I already suggested Heidi as the boot to her so we can get those immunity necklace things, she didn't seem overly keen on that at first. She said she wants to keep Heidi & Tammy around a little longer so we can grab the necklaces later when they'll be more useful to us. We'll see what I decide

Val really pissed me off on Saipan. She's the most scared player I've ever seen. I was thinking on NuPohnpei that she had changed a little and that she'd be loyal to me since I'd made a huge effort with her and had shown her respect. Then we get to that gay ass purple tribe and she barely says a word to me and it's the return of her fucking deplorable Indonesian PM's. Fuck off. She's basically said she'd only be comfortable to vote with an alliance that has Rocky on it if we're voting for Richard. I don't even know what the fuck she's talking about. Apparently she voted for Rocky once and she's worried about that? Be fucked if I can remember when that was, the tribe split thing? Who gives a shit. Just do as I say pls and I'll get you 5th place or something.

what's controversial about trying to stay safe?

Just tell the soon to be bitter jury members that they should embrace my greatness at FTC. I'll get you your win, Brendy.

- Fri Oct 07, 2016 6:59:59 pm #3355 Hi Dan.

Now that we've reached the merge, how do you feel about your position in the game?

Also, could you please break the tribe down for me from your perspective. How would you rank your tribemates in terms of trust? maybe add on a rating of 1-10 as well if you don't mind.

[Dan]

- Sat Oct 08, 2016 7:32:23 am #3386 I'll get onto that a bit later, Varnsy.

Can't believe I voted for Nate at FTC in our first ORG. He's the worst PM'er since Val.

Hi Dan.

Now that we've reached the merge, how do you feel about your position in the game?

Also, could you please break the tribe down for me from your perspective. How would you rank your tribemates in terms of trust? maybe add on a rating of 1-10 as well if you don't mind.

Not totally comfortable. I still feel like people see me as the king and that the Saipan's will come at me again on Sunday. I'd love to dominate yet another challenge and get immunity. Another big 'fuck you' to those cunts would really get me wet. I really don't like those people or the way they play.

The Danimal Family Circle Of Trust

Top tier:
Sierra 9/10
Drew 9/10
Hayden 9/10

I trust all of them almost 100%. You can never really be 100% sure of someone which is why I can't give any of them a 10/10. Sierra has been loyal to me over 2 seasons but we've never really been put to the test in a big way...that could happen soon. Drew's my best pal in this game and he was my right hand man at Pohnpei. I kinda took Hayden under my wing at the start imo and he's been true to me the whole time, great kid.

The Rest:

Sugar 7/10 - I did save her ass and she hates Saipan. she'll work with me
Rocky 5/10 - Kinda trust him but it hasn't been put to the test
Nate 5/10 - feel like he could side with Penner and co if it comes down to it
Ozzy - 4/10 ^ I did just kill his partner and he's got connections with people outside of my alliance. and an idol
Val 3/10 - She's really pissing me off with her gutless gameplay and I will fucking ruin her if I end up on the jury as result of it.
Heidi/Tammy/Richard/Penner - 1/10. Don't trust any of them.

[Vitinho]

- Sun Oct 09, 2016 10:39:27 pm #3485 i'm impressed.

[Dan]

- Mon Oct 10, 2016 1:19:03 am #3511 i really want immunity this morning. hungover a bit but starting to get into the swing of things.

also i feel bad for what i said about nate before. i think his pm's are just short with me since he knows me, i straight up told him they were shit and they've been better since. they'd send off alarm bells though if i didn't know him prior to this game. he needs to step that up in future games

How much wheeling and dealing have you been doing these past few days?

Just working on Nate and Val, especially Val in the last 24 hours. I started working on her pretty hard, trying to convince her of my loyalty and offering her a place with me, Hayden and Sierra. I told Sierra to work on her since she's better at pandering to retards than me. Looks like we've got her now. She said she's pre-voted Rich. Sugar thinks the vote is Heidi so we need to tell her it's Rich now drew can do that

i'm impressed.

nice

- Mon Oct 10, 2016 2:51:47 am #3633 Have I seriously swung almost everyone to vote with me this round? I didn't do it alone, but my connections have brought it all together. Holy shit. Surely something else is in store at tribal because this is too fuckin easy
