Kudos on this being probably the most entertaining game I've played thus far. I mean, considering the fact that it's only the 2nd round and I've already had to re-evaluate my belief system and go through 6 consecutive moral crises, I'd say you've done a great job in picking the cast.
The plan was to split the vote. 4 on Renee, 2 on Kim. Kim/Renee would presumably vote together (voting for Hash), and we would pray that only one of them uses the idol, not both. (Or neither, but that wasn't ideal. The more idols I can get flushed out, the better). So, the deal was that Sam would talk to Kim and make her feel safe enough to not use the idol, and I was going to go talk to Renee (because she messaged me after seeing my TC answer where I said that anyone who wants to talk to me should message me) when she came on Skype at 7 pm EST. We were chatting for a bit but it was pretty boring as hell and I was like "yeah we're voting her off, no sweat off my back," but then she asked to go on call and then we were on call for like 1.5 hours and she is honestly a goddess.
Some choice quotes:
"Gah!! Internet Explorer is so frustrating!!!"
Like omg. Internet Explorer.
Anyway, she talked about how it was her dream to be on Survivor but she couldn't because she has muscular dystrophy and that ORGs were her only source of entertainment for her, especially because she just moved to Kentucky 2 years ago after living in Cali all her life because her husband got a job there. And her sons are still in Cali. And she was just blindsided in a FB ORG yesterday.
I am...the most arrogant...condescending...over the top asswipe.........but I have a heart. I told her to use the idol because I "heard people were targeting you." Honestly I didn't play it right, I could have been a lot more clever about it because she was a little caught off-guard because I had been talking to her until that point as if I had done literally 0 strategy-wise up until that point and I hadn't heard anybody's name come up. And then I got her to vote Jeb, in case me and Hash decided to actually blindside Jeb. So Renee thinks that me/Hash are voting Jeb, while the guys think that me/Hash are voting Kim. Hash and I talked about it and I apologized up the wazoo about being so emotional about it, and how crazy it was that I wanted to flip the whole vote, but he was sooo understanding and he told me something very personal that I will not share with you all, but I was unbelievably touched by his patience with my OTTness.
But, we decided we're voting Kim. I told Renee to play the idol, so it's not like the guys will know I was the one who did it. They'll just think she was smart and played the idol to save herself since she was an obvious target. However, she expects me/Hash to vote Jeb, and we're not doing that because Hash has been hammering into everyone's minds that us 6 guys are a strong F6 alliance, per my suggestion for him to do so. So, if we turned and voted Jeb, then we would be on the outs...well we wouldn't be, because we would be a f4 with hash/kim/renee/myself with an advantage, but everything would be so disunited that it's not worth it. I need power going into the merge. And even renee says that kim is a loose cannon, so best to just cut her now. I will explain to renee why I voted Kim and not jeb but hopefully she's not too mad at me because, let's face it, I did save her ass.
