Well... what the hell was that?
How does tonight's vote change your long-term game plan?
It was exactly what I said would happen eventually. These are players who get paranoid easy. I knew that eventually the alliance would self-implode. It was bound to happen.
Having a strong feeling that the alliance would crumble was what helped me decide how I wanted to play the tribal stage of this game. I can be an extremely manipulative player, but this is not the time or place to be playing that way. With players who have this much paranoia, you must assume that nothing you tell anybody will be confidential. For that reason, I knew the best way I could play is not upset anybody, Be understand and friendly with everyone, regardless of how the votes go. Eventually the alliances will crumble, and I will be the level-headed, honest player that everyone will want to turn to since they know they can rely on my honesty.
I don't think it affects my long term plan at all. This stage of the game has been going as I figured it would. I will continue to play the game the way I am playing it.
Numbers are dwindling though, so soon I am going to need to be a little more aggressive in trying to find security. Maybe even this round, I can try to probe around for some openings.
