To Abra: You trusted me (Probably... Still not sure on that), I betrayed your trust. Now that I look back, I'm seeing all of these little things that I could have done to further myself in the game, where if I had just put a little thought into my actions, I could have saved myself and my allies from elimination. My question to you is this: How did you manage to execute all of your plans and make things go exactly the way you wanted them to? How did you manage to get everyone to do as you predicted? How did you manage to make it this far with a giant target painted on your back?
To Ditto: Hey man, I'm honestly proud of you for making it this far. Bit of a miscommunication early on in the game, but you became one of my most powerful allies. And as far as I can tell, you never double-crossed me when I had honestly thought about it multiple times. My question to you is: Did you honestly trust me throughout the entire game? You trusted me when I told you to use your Coral-Eye badge to save Dragonair and eliminate Hitmonlee... You even warned me about Rhyhorn's "backstab."
To Tauros: Hey man, you're the only one not on the Blastoise tribe up in the final three. Haha, so it just means I know the least about you. But we've had some interesting conversations over AIM and my question to you is probably an obvious one: If you couldn't say yourself, who do you think deserves to win? I want you to think of their tactical maneuvers throughout the game and i want you to choose between Ditto and Abra.
And a second question for everyone: If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be?
(Don't think of it as me being done with the questions, I still have like two days left to think up some more xD)

How did you manage to make it this far with a giant target painted on your back? And a second question for everyone: If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be? I didn't trust you. You will be able to see that when my confessional is open. I knew you and Dragonair were tight and that you would turn on Ekans, Ditto, and I in a second. I knew you saw me as a threat and that's how I also saw you. It was just a matter of time before one of us turned on the other, and it wouldn't have been wise for you to wait any longer than you did before you tried to blindside me because you wouldn't have had the numbers. I was able to execute my plans by trusting the right people. I had an alliance with Ditto and Ekans from early on in the game, and it was easy to keep the three of us together on Blastoise because we had inactive people and we had the numbers. After I won the pyramid challenge and we had our fake merge I knew that it would be fake. There were too many of us for a real merge to take place. When I had to choose someone to go to Sevii with me I knew the other person would be a "captain" and choose my opposing tribe. At the time it was wise to choose Arcanine. He was strong and I wanted to put a target on his back to take some of it away from myself. During the tribe pick I stacked my tribe with our old tribe and people that I thought it would be easy to pick off if we lost. I didn't choose big competitors because I wanted to insure that my alliance would have the numbers. The boots were easy to plan from there until the merge. The only boot until the real merge I didn't discuss decide on was Ekans. By this point Arcanine and I had created an alliance that had been going since our first time at Sevii, and I was adamant about sending the two of us back and forth to make sure that we were the ones holding the badges. After Ekans was booted Arcanine and I discussed our Cascade badges and who we would bring back. I wanted Wartortle because I knew he would have a big target just like me. Arcanine chose Hitmonlee. The plan was to create an alliance of Myself, Arcanine, Ditto, Wartortle, and Hitmonlee. We knew it would be easy to convince people to vote you and Rhyhorn out first, which would have given our alliance the numbers to take out who we wanted. It was simple to convince people to vote for who I wanted to vote for. I would always have a couple people in mind and bring up a couple names. I wasn't scared about mentioning names to people, but unfortunately it made it hard to work with Tauros because he NEVER would mention a name for a boot. The basic answer is that I always found myself with the numbers to vote for someone else rather than myself, and I aligned myself with people who had a bigger target to overshadow mine. If I could go back and change one thing it would be playing my "Sea Ruby." You see, the Sea Ruby's real power was NOTHING. It did absolutely nothing. I was able to create an elaborate power from scratch using the Sea Ruby as a ploy. Since I didn't trust you and assumed you were voting me out that round you tried to make an alliance with me I knew it would be wise to tell you about the Sea Ruby. I knew if you actually betrayed me that you would run around telling everyone, which you did, and which I needed you to do for the Sea Ruby to actually work. I would have waited one or two more rounds to play it. I announced it in Tribal Council as if it had to be played then, when in reality I could have not played it when I voted and used that to my advantage the next round.

Did you honestly trust me throughout the entire game? You trusted me when I told you to use your Coral-Eye badge to save Dragonair and eliminate Hitmonlee... You even warned me about Rhyhorn's "backstab." Yes I did I usually trust all of my allies throughout the games which is usually what gets me eliminated luckily for me its what got me this far. If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be? Absolutely nothing since I got this far I am happy where I am at

For Abra: Save for Ditto, Tauros, and I, was there someone you'd wished you'd gotten eliminated from the start?

For Tauros: Who were you expecting to see in the final 5 from the very start (back during the days of Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard?)

For Tauros: Who were you expecting to see in the final 5 from the very start (back during the days of Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard?) arcanine for sure because of him bein on my tribe and bein good at challenges and stuff, then maybe wartortle, hitmonlee, ekans and venonat only because those were the most active people in the threads and that had some power behind their words.

So this is a question for all three of you. After I get a response, I'll be done asking questions.
Why do you think you deserve to win; Why do you think you deserve my vote?

Why do you think you deserve to win; Why do you think you deserve my vote? Because I made it this far, without intention of winning or betraying someone I trusted. I deserve your vote because I stuck with you throughout our time together in the game.

i definatly deserve to win because i was one of the best competitors in the game and showed during our tribes reign and my 1 immunity. i also came very VERY close to winning 3 other ones.
i also had to deal with having someone in my alliance giving our info to a totally different alliance AND i still came to the end. i fought my ass off to be here and am still fighting my ass off to win.

Rattata. After our conversation where he told me to stick to my side and he'd stick to his I knew I wanted him out. I knew I couldn't trust him and didn't want him in the game any longer than necessary.
I deserve to win because I gave my all to this game for 5 months. I had a strategy and made strategic moves to get myself to the end despite having a target on my back. I made it here against the odds because I made the right game moves and aligned myself in a good position each round. I think I deserve your vote because I played this game hard. Despite the fact that Tauros thinks he had to deal with Arcanine giving info out to other people we all had to deal with that situation. I made more strategic decisions to get myself closer to the end and placed myself in a good position each round. I won when I needed to, and targeted the people I knew I had a shot of getting out. I believe I played a good strategic game.

Ok, thank you all for your time. You've all given me a lot to think about, and I won't make this decision lightly. I'll mull it over for a while and have a decision when it comes time to vote.
Okay Blue, lock it up ;3
