TT is your strategy just to tell everyone "I have the numbers, hop on board to get the points", and hope that becomes self-fulfilling?

No, while that might affect stragglers I have enough to reasonably claim a numbers advantage

Can't we have a double boots sometimes. The two players with most votes are getting eliminated.

I'm confident enough that I have numbers that I ask anyone who's going to vote mills to vote me instead.

By the way, so everyone is aware: Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving (Nov. 27 & 28) will both count as Non-Days, so that if a day starts on the 26th, for instance, the deadline will be on the 30th, because holiday.

Taste, you need to understand why this strategy is a losing one. It's because people need information, and you're refusing to give it to anybody. You're trying to put yourself in a position where you have the information and your "numbers" - which aren't sufficient, I guarantee you - can't exist in a state without you. You complain about people lying and acting tough, but that's exactly what you're doing when you talk about the numbers that you don't have.

You claim to have the numbers but you don't. Everybody who is talking to anybody knows this. You're trying to create a winning plurality against a fractured opposition, particularly (and overtly) by claiming things like this:

Tremendous Taste posted:

but that won't work because it's too obvious a play. You have claimed to me multiple times that you have the numbers in PMs, but I haven't received a single PM from anybody else who says they're on your side the entire time - why is that a side I would vote with? Why is that a side that anybody would vote with? Why should I have jumped onto a side that just promises me something but doesn't back it up? People need to feel secure and they absolutely should not on that side. Hell, I didn't receive a PM from Mills until I announced my vote in the thread. Why shouldn't I have voted for him? If you have the numbers and you want to keep them, you probably need to claim them in the open right now. Otherwise, you're done.

It's probably too late for that though.

I'm sorry for lying in my first PM to you. For those who don't know, my lie to Taste was this:

quote:

i won't vote mills tho

I had every intention of voting for Mills at that point, there was no reason to string you along, and I apologize. I'm not going to lie in this game anymore, to anybody. There will be information I won't give up, but I'll be honest and will say it's not information I'm giving up rather than just make up garbage. I will be announcing every vote I make. I want to play this low stress and just have fun with people.

What's disingenuous about it?

You never approached me. You went through Taste as an intermediary (whether you wanted that or Taste just took it upon himself) and that's not a fun way to play the game.

And sure, I never approached you either. But I have approached four people in this game, I believe - just looking at my sent PMs and how many messages don't start with "Re:". Everybody else that I've spoken to has approached me first.

Then you should already know Taste's strategy won't work based on season 4 of Awful Survivor. IIRC, it was him who was trying to start an alliance based on "Join this alliance but I won't tell you who is in it." I could check with Little Mac, I remember him complaining about it after the merge.
