Isolated: Espionage

#2: I wasn't necessarily always planning on doing this. But I just think you can't take risks in these quick rounds. you need to get your target out and not fuck around and deal with the rest after. I knew I'd have a long weekend to damage control, reassess and leak more alliances and info with Adam.

but the key reason was...I wanted to have it be amanda vs. ais or amanda vs. spiral to force jennie and glyn to expose themselves. If ais came off, I would have done the same thing and said spiral was my target all along or whatever. Just trying to continually blow up the house and make people like amanda, jennie, and glyn who are playing all sides actually show their cards.

and i didn't want to keep the whole jennie/glyn/ais/spiral alliance in the house together. I figured the survivor of ais/spiral would feel they couldn't trust glyn and jennie any more. we shall see what spiral does and what he feels.

Just had a slight epiphany in between bouts of self-destruction. To save myself I want people to think I’m the spy this round. I’m guessing that twist is dead. But....I’m going to talk about it being dead A LOT. So much so that people will think I am the spy and have a power. Maybe it keeps me off the block to stay safe and they boot Adam instead. Just laying the groundwork now but will put this plan into full effect depending on how HOH plays out.

In retrospect I do think my number one fuckup was not telling people about my plan as soon as I won HOH. I still think they MOSTLY feel the same about me, since I'm still siding with Adam, but at least I think Jennie would still be on board with me. I should have just said sorry I'm not going for Adam tonight. Spiral and Ais. But live and learn. I do think all my shenanigans and fuck ups kind of help me play a more relaxed, happier game. It's hard when you put pressure on yourself to be perfect all the time. IDK how Glyn and Spiral do it. Jennie too for that matter. It's impressive to keep up the under the radar gameplay for 20+ days and not crack.

Need to throw Adam under the bus unfortunately. Stated campaigning even pre-hoh results. Volunteered as a pawn for jennie since I felt like she was going to put up me and adam anyway if she won. Sort of regretted doing it when she won, lol. But I think the key is to just make me seem the more cooperative player than Adam. They SHOULD vote me out since i'm a bigger end game threat I think, more adaptable. Less brute force. But his comp prowess is impressive, I've only won 2 HOHs plus the random first one. Need to really bring that out.

This is where I do my best kiss ass (Spiral) performance. If I can stay past this week, anything can change....

I trust the way spiral told me that I am not jennie’s top target. Seemed honest and he is playing the likability game so doubt he’d like in that way to me, even if I put him up. But if Adam wins veto I likely go home unless I truly blow things up enough to get spiral and Parker’s votes with Adam over Jen or something. It’s possible, just hard to know when to make the push, since I don’t want the target to shift to me. I’ll think it over.

OK, so I have a plan. I know I've been trying various plans this week. But at this point, to stay on/off the block at various times. But right now I genuinely would rather be on the block to guarantee I play in the veto against Adam. It's going to be pretty unlikely I survive if Adam wins veto. BUT I do have a plan, and it's going to involve me sending a long detailed PM to Glyn, to try to get him to keep me over Adam, but more importantly over Jen. I'm guessing that is not going to happen, but if anyone can do it, it's glyn. My pitch will be that he's not in a good spot any more and if I go he's even worse off. He needs me as someone willing to put up people who aren't going to have his back (spiral/parker and even jennie possibly) He has the ties to Amanda and spiral necessary to sell it. And I'd only need 3 votes to stay (Adam, glyn, plus one). Could maybe even make a similar pitch to parker separately, but going to do the glyn thing first.

For the record too, since it was brought to my attention again. I didn't intentionally threaten to kill aisleyne. I was trying to say how I felt Group A as a whole was playing the game. That as a group, the group A philosophy was step out of line and we will kill you. I agree I worded it poorly and should have put it in quotes and said: Group A's philosophy is "step out of line and we will kill you." But I thought it was still sort of clear what I meant in context. Explained it more in this post viewtopic.php?f=316&t=220#p2073 so you can go back to check there for reference.

Attaching the full exchange without comment, all occurring within the same hour on the night that Chelsia was voted out:

pitch to glyn didn't work fully but he is being more honest with me. not trying to hide his ties to amanda or spiral as much any more. still hiding ties to jennie, which may be true but i doubt it. I do believe adam is the target over me for glyn. but we shall see about what happens.

I survived. Pulled out a bunch of largely unimpactful things and plans, but luckily adam lost veto to jennie and would have been me if i didn't screw up the first one (after specifically asking that question too, lol). Spiral winning today is worst case for me but we shall see. Adam being out means veto is more attainable moving forward.
