First and foremost, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Coming into this game, my game plan was take one step at a time. I never focused on looking at what the future of this game would become, but I focused on what's gonna happen at that moment because the future will surely be destroyed if the present didn't live up to your expectation.
So, first few days in the competition was hard for me. I was trying to approach people but there weren't any response. I felt like I'm on the outs. It didn't lower my morale, though. It instead gave me motivation to do better especially at team challenges to show them that I'm worthy of staying in this game. Luckily, I performed well in challenges.
Good news for me was when they started talking to me about the game. Finally, there were few people who would like to work with me in this game. It might have been temporary or permanent. I mean, you don't trust a lot of people in this game because it plays a huge part.
This is Survivor. It's a game of survival. In a nature of this game, sometimes, something that is very unusual in you happens. One example is betraying people. Yes, lying is part of the game. Every person who played Survivor lied to someone just to survive or probably just to get information from that person. Same logic applies to betraying them. You betray people, it's good news for you, bad news for them. That's just it.
At merge, I tried to be more aggressive when it comes to social games. I admit that I made several deals with people from both Upolu and Savaii people. That's just how I play this game. I lied and betrayed most of them but at the end of the day, I'm just doing what's best for me and that is to survive every tribal council and go all the way to where I am right now. I did received a vote in almost all tribal councils I attended and it showed that I'm not the most likable person in this game. I was a threat? Probably not.
I may not be the strongest person in challenges, I may not be the smartest person when in comes to social games, but I proved to myself that I can be better in my own ways. I think I played a really good game,. You probably didn't see that, but that's your opinion. I cannot please everyone since some of you are probably mad at me.
Maybe, try to look at the person without prejudice. Sometimes, people decides right away without looking beyond what that person is seeing. I mean, you don't know the real story behind a story and you guys are already making a decision, so it just destroys the essence of everything because you try to look at the bad side of the picture. Know both sides and if you think it's just the same, at least you tried to listen and understand.
So that's it. I'm looking forward in answering your questions.
