"Nice chick, but too dull to be worth a lay..."

Mark is going to be far more beneficial for my game than you are, where have you been all day? Nice having that one conversation yesterday, though.

RELIQUUM[/color][/font]


"Man you aren't even into dudes, what use do you have to me post-Apocalypse? And you tried to harm my boy Zac, fuck off"

You are either lazy or stupid. Either way it goes, you are not worth our time. You tried to start rumors about alliances and throw my boy Zac under the bus. Well, it's time for your little whore mouth to GTFO. Goodbye, never return! [/center]

EDIT: My vote is not showing up, here is a link to it though: imageshack.us/scaled/large/836/votegve.png

JUDGEMENT III A

RELIQUUM[/color][/font]


"You don't understand sports and talk about dancing and kiwi/strawberry drinks. We don't have much in common and I don't want you on my apocalypse, goodbye!"

You too the character I wanted, which means no I have to be a dick as I got Knox. And Knox always gets what he wants, and what I want is for you to go home. You are an extremely nice kid, I really enjoy our conversations, but I refuse to play emotional, you are not good for the tribe or my personal game. So you have to go. Goodbye! [/center]

RELIQUUM[/color][/font]


"Man, this is about to become a sausage fest, but you don't even talk english, it's hard to try and get you in the sack if you can't understand my advances..."

Pretty straight-forward, basically at this point you are the least social and even though you have been great at challenges, I can't really find a reason to vote anyone else out.[/center]

"Bros 'til the end, man, but it's the way things had to go!"

I never thought a vote would get hard this early, but I respect you like no other. You are an amazing competitor, and if you go I hope there is a second chance season where you can come back and show them up. Actually, if you stay then I hope that happens to, but I am the one invited![/center]

JUDGEMENT XIII

[/b]
CONVENIO[/color][/font]


I have no clue what the color for the tribe is, but this is my vote. Fake douche-bag Knox and the player behind him are about to merge into a whole new level of douche-baggery.

People have said that I am not playing the game, that I am inactive, and that I just follow, and while I can admit that I have not been the most active, I also know that I have been playing the game.

You say I'm inactive? You want me to start playing? Well, then game fucking on! I'll stay loyal for this vote, because truly I can't just let Mark go like that, he is my boy despite how condescending he has been lately. Chad, I like, and I see some use in the near future, but he is not as important to my game.

I kind of hope that Gloria uses her idol so that I can say "I told you so" and then be taken more seriously. But even if it's not the case, I already have some plans on how to use this for leverage, and the fact they didn't trust me and decided we were expendable regardless is going to be a delight to flip on them.

There's a lot of game to be played, and 101 Survivor says, you should never make someone on your side feel alienated. Well, they did. And regardless of the outcome, the results are going to be some to watch. It's time for a knox out baby [/center]

JUDGEMENT XIV

[/b]
CONVENIO[/color][/font]


The vote says it all. You are a non-entity. Which makes you my biggest threat in the game, someone who I don't know where they stand is far more dangerous than someone who I know would backstab me in a heartbeat. [/center]

JUDGEMENT XV

CONVENIO[/color][/font]


Love ya Benny-boy! I cannot wait until they see that idol being played and freak out when a Starr falls from the sky and they all have to scramble. HAHAHA best plan EVER! [/center]

JUDGEMENT XVI

CONVENIO[/color][/font]


Liam should be leaving after what he just tried to pull, but he's immune and you're such a wildcard, so how can I not vote you out? Sorry brah, it has to be you. [/center]

JUDGEMENT XVII

[/b]
CONVENIO[/color][/font]


Your bonehead move cost you the game, you could have made the final six, but instead you chose to go out this round.
This was all your doing, not mine.

P.S. I'll have a confessional for this round tonight at some point, sort of.[/center]

Now suck it bro![/center]

FINAL JUDGEMENT

[/b]
CONVENIO[/color][/font]

To be completely honest this was an extremely hard decision, I view both Thiago and Mark as very capable winners. They both played outstanding games, albeit similar in nature. Both had great arguments during the FTC and they both really want this, furthermore I respect and like both of them a lot, so this decision was very hard.

Ultimately it came down to something that I value a lot in my everyday life, respect and sportsmanship. I think while the game is going on, it's alright to get under people's skin, to argue or be a dick as it is all part of the game, but once you get to the final Tribal Council or get voted out you have to play with respect and just leave all the bitterness behind.

Throughout this process Thiago has shown how much he wants this, however he also answered questions for other finalists, attacked their answers and their character. I understand he wants to win, but that kind of attitude is very off putting, and it shows a lack of confidence on his game, while I admire his will to go against the strongest [then, why bring Zach tho?] I also think he is greatly overdoing it.

Mark's closing statement and Gloria's question did it for me, because where Mark is concerned, he is right. He has played the game good, and his answers show it, he defended himself but he never belittled any of his competitors to make himself look better nor did he attack them under the excuse that's what FTC is about.

No, FTC is about showing who is best and talking about your accomplishments. It's about selling yourself, not about bitching and whining about your competition. As a competitor, I believing in respecting those you compete against.

And while I am certain Thiago didn't mean to disrespect Mark or Zac, it came across that way and I can not support that. Both men played outstanding games, which makes me happy since this game was such a great experience for me. But I can only vote for one, taking everything into consideration and without further adue I have chosen to vote for Mark.



Sorry if that was long, but I wanted to make sure my reasoning for such a hard vote was there for anyone who had questions about why I did what I did. [/center]
