Micah's ponderings

[Micah]

Hey guys. First of all, congrats on making it this far. You each had different ways of getting to this point, and while I may not know or agree with all of those moves, it got you hear, and I respect that.

To be honest, for whatever reason, I checked out of this game a long time ago...obviously since I am just now posting something here! I have no questions for you since I have read your responses to the other questions and my mind is pretty much made up at this point. But that is not saying that it cannot be changed.

Peter, we really did not speak, so I really have no idea how you played this game. What i want you to tell me is what was the ONE move, that after you made it, you knew that you would make it in this game, and do you regret that move or not?

Caleb, you and I got along really, really well, and I think we made a pretty good team. What I want you to tell me is where exactly I stood with you. Were you just stringing me along or were you completely honest with me?

Anna, I really do not know with you. On one hand, I see you as ruthless and cunning, but on the other, I see you a poor strategic player. I may be wrong, but I want you to convince me that the first statement is truer than the second. In other words, tell me what makes you deserve to win this game.

Good luck guys, and again, congrats!

Hey Micah!

Thanks for keeping it short since i've been so busy. lmao

I think we were a great team as well, and I do agree that we got along great.

You were one of the two people I wanted to the end with me. You were my ally along with Peter. I will admit Peter was my #1 since we started playing together earlier, but you were most definitely my #2. I wanted you both to be in the finals with me if I made it there, and you two are two people I was completely 100% honest with. I was absolutely not stringing you along.

Well first of all, I think that if you did not know me very well, that's
because you never really intended talking to me. I tried multiple times
to talk to you but I always had to be the one that talks first because
if I stopped talking, you would stop talking too. But at least it's
not like we completely ignored each other, we did talk at times.

Our first conversation, you've cut it up saying that you were
writing a huge e-mail, I did not want to annoy you, the next time you did
not reply at all and signed off. Then the other time we finally
got to talk and you told me you had that mystery prize which is
two votes casted against you, maybe it's because of the hosts never
showed it, but it seems like you never had two extra votes on you.
(Maybe you could clear that thing now too )
Then, the other time you've cut the conversation because you had to go
run. And then the other time you did not reply either, and after that
you had been eliminated.

I'm not blaming you or anything, but I just want to point out that I did
try to converse with you multiple times but you rarely made it possible,
and it would suck to completely lose your jury vote based on that.

Onto your comment, thanks for seeing me as ruthless and cunning in a way,
but the other way, you think I am a poor strategist. Honestly, I don't think
I am a poor strategist because in every activities that I commit myself to, I give
it my all and I definitely priorise strategy over anything else.

Something that could definitely be my downfall is my rude attitude and my attitude
of "lets make everything happen all at the same time", but that it's personality,
and definitely has nothing to do with smarts.

Onto your question, why do I deserve to win the game. That's simple, I am the survivor
here. I don't want to repeat all what I've said in all other threads sooo... I'm the one that
despite my downfalls and my standing in the game, I've never
let anyone step on my toes and let them second think me, regardless if that puts
me in trouble or not. The special thing is that had I done nothing, had I went with the
final four I was told (Me, You, Peter, Caleb), I would still be sitting here with the
same finalists, with only one exception: I would of followed the path of fear, the path of
"I'm scared for next round", I would of done nothing except win immunities. But I was not scared
of the next round coming. I had confidence in myself that I would beat the people,
and that's what gave me the confidence to scheme, to prove myself as a strategist, and I did.

I did not have an army of people behind me, I was a soldier of my own, there is always
one in every games and that has nothing to do with if they are smart strategists or not.
I was safe until Final Five, but from there, I believe John would of outwitted me, and not
Caleb/Peter. They were nothing to the grand scheme of things. Me and John
were the Proganist/Antagonist of this story. Caleb and Peter were just minor roles to this
story.

Had this game continued instead of being a final tribal council, I still would of ruled this,
a real survivor is somebody that cannot be stopped. Why handing the money to two people
who obviously wouldn't be survivors at all in a similar environment.

Some people look at me as the liar, backstabber or whatever, but I don't think I was that
liar, backstabber... I did play MOST of this game with truth. I did lie on Selene's elimination,
but after that, what were my lies? Everyone knew I was voting for Eric, Everyone knew
I was either voting you, Peter or Caleb the round you left, I told everyone (except
Stefan/John but that's only because I didn't get to talk to them after I made my
decision) that I would play my idol on Abby and vote Stefan, everyone knew I was voting
for Caleb on final five, and same for final four. So me, a liar? No. I did not play this entire
game as a liar.

Unlike Caleb & Peter, who basically lied a LOT in this game. They
made so many deals, and that so wasn't even necessary. They could of easily just made one
majority alliance, and just stick to it and that still would of worked out okay. But that's
not how they played, they played lame. They were not any safer than I was, anyone of you on
the jury could of easily wake up and send them packing. Anyone could of. Even though Caleb
wanted to take you to the end, I think he manipulated you just as much as he manipulated all
the others. The only reason he wanted you to the end is because he had no choice than to choose
two people to go to the end with him because you can't get there alone. Your vote should come
down to who truly played the game decently rather than voting whoever "offered you the golden
ticket to the finales".

We attempted to talk I just dont think we really clicked which happens but I never wanted you to get voted out,

During the very first tribes I was actually worried that I would not make it past those especially when the wolf tribe lost the first couple challenges but luckily I was able to get through to Lawrence and Jimmy to vote out the girls on ou
r tribe instead of me, thats when I realized how I was going to play the game. Which was as the good guy that everyone liked, and it wasnt until after Lawrence left that I knew I had a great chance of making it to the end because the people I did align with were all working together and could dominate the game, but there were many times when i was worried that I would be getting voted out the main one when you were eliminated, but I continued fighting and somehow managed to make it to the end on my "good guy" game play
