Survivor XV opinions and other useless stuff.

Well, I guess it is my time to rant about it, heh. After 2004's sort of drama-ridden tournaments, I thought SXV would be better in that department and it was, in a way. This time, I sponsored Wild Arms 3' Clive Winslet, who was an intellectual sniper and wore cowboy style clothes. I really like the character, so I figured that it wasn't a bad idea

Who did win, anyways? (shows how well I keep track of RI happenings, eh?)

[magusperde]

Actually, I forgot to mention it. :/ Switch won, and deservingly so. ;)

Ah, that's cool ^^

It does suck that you were ignored by a majority of the people in SXV :\ You really, really wrote some top-tier stuff, which makes my mind boggle as to just why you were ignored :(

I don't think that you are really being fair to yourself (as well as several other people) in this post

Curley came under fire from me precisely because he was engaging in the sort of heal/defense trading that I felt had the potential to wreck the tournament (as we would have seen every round have only negative numbers going out if not for what little offense was being thrown around, a lot of it by me.) As that failed in one round, I had no choice but to continue lest the behavior just resume. Ultimately it was necessary to ensure my own advancing (or at least that I would go out in a blaze of glory.) People who were helping Curley in this endeavor became targets as a matter of course, which was why I had to smack TT for what I could and later why you were on "the list". In my opinion this kind of thing is standard among tournaments, it just seemed that much more out of place in SXV because the offense stood out so much against all of the defense

... well, my browser just crashed. Let me try writing everything again

I just wanted to follow up on a couple of things

Actually, about the drive-by, that's what I meant by 'it was not funny'. And I wasn't referring to both sides, I just meant that Moonside's different 'rule' (to show people's inner selves) was to let the imagination flow, since it really didn't affect voting at all.

Moogle's already said pretty much I was going to - there was absolutely no plan to use you as "cannon fodder": I was doing everything I could to ensure that the fact that you willingly stuck your neck out for me in Round 5 did not prevent you from making the finals as I feared it was going to. Also, I figured you'd be willing to bring a bit of justice to those who were writing and voting in cliques. (We did willingly give Switch a bit of an edge by making him slightly less involved in the direct assault than the rest of you three, but that was it, and I don't think that's what made the difference in the Finals

"Onyx and Luna then would have probably dranoed you out of contention in the same way they did to me."

Actually, I really didn't think "Hur hur, let's get Magus." in Round 6, even after the counterdrano he helped to instigate in Round 5 and the drano in round 6. Luna didn't even vote while Helmar, Seril, and I coordinated our own votes against Grissom and Ovelia, because they were in the single digits while everyone else was in the 30's and 40's.

And in the end, I'm not really angry about that anyway. I didn't like the methods used in the slightest, but I took no personal offense by the drano, as I had company staying with me at the end of the tournament and would have to drop if I made the finals. I just hope that Fallen don't have nearly the same amount of influence in future tournaments, as I think that's been a problem in the last few.
