OK it seems like every time someone makes a prediction, that character is next to follow. So after the great time that I had in Colo 3, I thought it was time to give the series another shot. Since the theme was horror movies, Colo 6 was right up my alley. This game wasn't a tradition Colo game - it was mainly Mole based with lots of unexpected twists and surprises thrown in along the way. If I had known there were going to be Mole elements, I might not have even signed up to play because I had never seen the show before, and the premise didn't interest me. Which is ironic because I ended up winning The rules are very confusing and I really don't feel like explaining them here because it would take forever. The prize for this game was not only the title of winner, but there was a cash reward too. Basically, each round there was a house challenge where the goal was to do as well as possible. The effort put forth by the team would be graded. If the team got a low grade, money would be deducted from "the pot". If the team failed, there would be a blackout where everyone would lose PMs, and two people would be evicted. Of course, there was a Mole in the game (otherwise known as the Killer) who was supposed to sabotage the team challenges so everyone would fail. The Killer in retrospect did a horrible job because he never did anything to fuck up the team other than not participating most of the time. During this team challenge, players would have the option to win Gold Skulls, which acted like a Gold Shield in previous Colo games, giving the winners immunity for the round. After the house challenge there would be a Voting Rights challenge. The three winners would be whisked to a private room where they would be forced to nominate three individuals for eviction, as long as those individuals were not protected by a Gold Skull. The basis for eviction - the nominee with the lowest score on their Killer Quiz would be kicked out of the game and join the jury. The Killer Quiz was a test taken each round by the players where they would try and guess the ID of the killer by answering an assortment of 5 questions. I was clueless as to how a Mole game would work, so I played this as I would any other ORG. I became dominant socially, working my way into almost everyone's good graces. I don't know if there were really alliances in this game, but some people did have pacts to not nominate others if they won the Voting Rights challenge. I made as many of these small side deals as much as humanly (or Alienly?) possible. My tightest alliance in the game was with Michael Myers (lurks), and we swore to help each other out all the way to the F2. Unfortunately, due to the layout of this game, a tight knit alliance like that was a lot easier said than done. I was also a big time challenge whore in this game. Not only at individual challenges, but team ones as well. I was the driving force behind many competitions, trying to be as helpful as possible so we would get a good grade. I also figured that if I looked like I was helping a lot, no one would suspect me of being the Killer and put me on the block for nomination. This, plus all the side deals I made in the game, kept me off the block the ENTIRE game. That's right, I was never nominated once. Winning boatloads of Gold Skulls and Voting Rights challenges didn't exactly hurt my cause either. I was lucky to escape nomination, because I never had the killer figured out. All the clues seemingly pointed nowhere. There was no obvious sabotage. For the longest time I thought that Regan was the Killer and I put her name down on the majority of my quizzes. I made it to the F2 despite not knowing the Killer's identity. Lucky for me, my Final 2 partner also never figured it out either, otherwise I may have lost horribly in the Finals. The jury was not impressed by either of us, but I ended up getting the unanimous win because at least I had done something with my strong social game and challenge whoredom to make it to the end. Whereas it appeared that Mrs Loomis was just lucky to have made it as far as she did. I was only in legitimate danger once in the game, and it was very early on. Jason Voorhees (Nickf227) thought that I was the killer because of a clue he had found on the board. We won Voting Rights together and wound up in the same room trying to come up with three nominees. I could sense that he wanted to nominate me. My challenge whoredom paid off at this moment, because I kind of went off on him and told him that if he put me up, I would be gunning to get him out of the game hardcore if I stayed in. He relented and put up someone else instead. It turns out that if he had put me up, I would have been evicted because of my quiz score, so I dodged a major bullet there. Otherwise I was on cruise control the whole time. This game had lots of memorable characters and moments. A few memorable characters include Mrs Loomis and how disgusting she was all the time. I can't believe I didn't figure out it was UD until the game was almost over! Annie Wilkes and Carrie were huge characters. All the bickering and arguing that went on on the boards was absolutely hysterical to watch. Chucky was hilarious although he was SO obvious as Gnarls. Freddy Krueger was the asshole/villain of the game. He only spoke cryptically in movie quotes and made a lot of people uneasy to be around. His shining moment was volunteering to DP for a house challenge and then throwing it to give us all an F. LOL - good times. Although this game was lots of fun, it does not rank higher because I am kind of a control freak, and I like being in control of games. With all the random surprises and elements to the game... plus the fact that I never knew the Killer's ID, I feel like I was kind of lucky to have made it to the end and won. |

Reagan for whatever reason thought you were the killer and you were even slightly better at challenges then her and the other challenge Kingpin Patrick. She had to have had a lot of trust and loyalty towards you not to take you out since it was the most logical the last few rounds and would have been a great power move that gave her only chance at winning. |

It's tough to nominate someone else who is in the Voting Rights room with you. We were in that room together so many times we definitely built up a level
of trust between one another. I thought she only put me as the killer the very last quiz or two.

It was understandable how you and Reagan worked together. As one of the people who never got VRC power it was just frustrating as hell afterwards knowing how
much control Patrick had over the game because he never explained his rhyme or reason for his noms.

They say you never forget your first time. Survivor Vanuatu was my very first game and it was a real doozy. A lot of hosts like to do quirky games that are unique and have a lot of surprises twists (myself included). This game, however, was about as close to actually being on Survivor as I have ever seen. I came into this one not your typical naive ORG noobie. I quickly picked up on the social game and made strong bonds and alliances on the Yasur team. I knew how close Scout and Twila were on the show, so I made it a goal to become close to the Scout in the game. It was like an automatic alliance right from the get go. On the first day, a small group of girls quickly clicked up and formed a tight alliance. It consisted of myself, Leann, Lisa, and Scout. Dolly was mentioned as a fifth to this alliance, and she was for a while although she became totally inactive as the game went on. Ami was out of town for the beginning of the game on vacation, so she was left out of the main alliance. Then on the second day, Leann surprisingly dropped out of the game. No replacement was brought in, and we were already down one member before the first challenge had even taken place. I was bummed because Leann was one of the girls I felt the closest to. I think CC picked up that I was an ORG newbie and had taken me under her wing right from the start. However, we made do. Ami got back from her trip and immediately impressed everyone on the team and took Leann's place in the big alliance. I made it my goal to target Eliza for being the first boot if we ever had to go to Tribal Council. I don't remember who played her, but this person was a real idiot. First, I didn't like the real Eliza on the show. Second, she kept telling me about how she was trying to form cross tribal alliances on the other team. And third, she was targetting Lisa who was in my main alliance. Her reasoning for that was because she didn't like Lisa and complained that she only replied to PMs in one word responses. Since Lisa was played by Will, I can see why she would think this. I, however, adored Lisa and would have no part of Eliza's plan (although I did play along like I did). I was diehard hardcore loyal to my main (and only! shocking for me, huh?) alliance in the game. Our team dominated the first couple immunity challenges due to Lisa becoming our team's resident challenge whore. This endeared me to her even more. It was such a great feeling knowing that someone so powerful like that was on my side. When it came time for the double boot "episode", I had to work that night. I left a prevote for Eliza, and the blindside was awn. Eliza was booted, and she was completely shocked about it too. She really thought Lisa would be going home. My first Tribal Council was a blindside. I remember being so excited and thrilled when I came home and saw what happened. What a way to start my ORG career!! Eliza's blinside left Julie and Mia alienated on our team. Mia erupted and threw a huge fit and started arguing with almost everyone on Yasur. I felt bad for her and started PMing with her a lot. The next round, we lost our first challenge and it was Mia's time to go. I felt so horrible about having to vote her out. I had become close to her in the day or two before that, but I had to stay true to my alliance. Our team didn't lose another challenge, and before we knew it, it was time for the tribal shuffle. I gladly volunteered to be the Chief for Yasur. No one else wanted to do it, and I don't understand why. I knew that if I was a chief, there was a zero percent chance I would wind up on a team where the girls were in the minority. It was a great decision. Just like on the real Vanuatu, there was a team with 4 guys and 2 girls, and a team with 2 girls and 4 guys. Us girls had a plan. Sarge was on our team, and he was pissed that John K (the other chief) had assigned him to the other team only to get voted off. So we formed an alliance with him to keep him around and get him on our side come the merge. It worked! We threw the next two challenges, voting out Rory to make sure that the girls kept the majority on our team. And then we voted out Dolly who had completely vanished from the game. This helped secure Sarge's trust and guarantee his vote in the future. The merge came, and it was an even split - 5 girls and 5 guys. Us girls along with Sarge decided to vote for John K and make him the first person voted out of the Alinta tribe. However, we did not know that the guys had gotten Julie to flip while she was over at Lopevi to vote along with them. At Tribal Council, the votes were dramatically revealed. 5 for John, 4 for Lisa... one vote left.... Bubba did not show up to Tribal Council and did not leave a prevote. Oops. John K was voted out 5-4. We knew that someone (either Julie or Sarge) was lying because if Bubba had voted it would have been a 5-5 tie. I think all of us assumed that it was Sarge. I know I did. Once the girls had the majority, it was smooth sailing. The guys got Pagonged, leaving John P. (sf429) as the last guy standing along with the five Yasur girls. The other chicks were intimidated by Lisa because she kept winning individual immunity. The challenges were not even close. They wanted to get rid of Lisa before JP. This did not sit well with me. Lisa was very dependable and trustworthy, and I knew that as long as she was in the game, the target would not be on me. When Scout won immunity, Lisa's fate was all but sealed. But then came a huge game changing moment. Scout messaged me saying that she felt Lisa was in danger. Should I give her the necklace? I jumped all over it and was like "yeah do it!" Anything to save Lisa. So Scout gave away immunity. All of the girls messaged me and now said that they wanted to vote out Scout. The whole game, people kept hinting that they thought those two had a F2 agreement (I didn't see it). Scout giving her the necklace only seemed to support those theories. I begrudgingly went along with it, although I really wanted JP out of the game. Scout went home, and we were now at the F5. JP went next. At F4, I shockingly won my first and only immunity of the game and was faced with a tough decision. I had F2 deals with all the girls left in the game. Julie and Ami obviously wanted Lisa out. Lisa wanted to vote Julie. I ended up voting out Lisa, only because I felt that Julie would have felt more betrayed, whereas Lisa probably would have seen it coming. Lisa was pissed, but such is life. At F3, I knew I did not need to win the endurance challenge. Both were going to take me. I figured it was actually better to NOT win so I wouldn't have to piss one of them off and risk losing their vote when I made the F2. When Julie went out of the challenge very early, I PMed Ami and told her I was throwing it. Which I did. Ami won and took me to the end. I did a horrible job answering questions from the jury. I was too in character as Twila and responded bitchy to the people who were being bitchy to me. It didn't help my cause that I had often made snarky comments to people at tribal council when they were voted out of the game. I remember calling Sarge a liar when he was voted out because I thought he had been the one to flip at the merge (it was actually Julie). It cost me his vote. In the end I got all 3 votes from the ladies on the jury, and Ami got the 4 votes from the men on the jury. I did not do a good enough job cross tribal PMing and talking to people who I did not consider to be in my plans. They thought I was intentionally being antisocial, which I really wasn't. I was just a noob and didn't know better! I only recieved one vote the whole game, and it was a throwaway vote from John P when he was voted out of the game. Overall, this was an extremely satisfying first game for me. I was in solid control of the game from beginning to end, and was never in danger of being voted out of the game once. Sorry for the excessively long write up. |

#1:
You guessed it! My first win still ranks as the favorite game I have ever been in. I said it earlier that I like being in control. This game I controlled from start to finish with a solid vice grip. I don't want to toot my own horn but you would be hard pressed to find a better winner in any other ORG. I almost did not even get to play in this one. I was scheduled to move out of my apartment that month, and into a new one that did not have the internet. However, when the move got pushed back one month, the time was freed up for me to participate in this game. I remember taking Ken's (MidnightPince69) place in the game after he dropped out a few days beforehand. I sucked ass at the first All Stars game I played in (the Simpsons game) so I knew that I had to come into this one with a different approach. It's All Stars, so it wsas open ID obviously. I couldn't jut count on outside friendships to carry me along, I had to play it hardcore and use all possible angles to my advantage. The game started with three teams of 7. I wound up on the Chapera team which consisted of myself, Alex, Tom, Colleen, Mitchell, Pastor John, and Sarah from Marquesas. A lot of people that I did not know, but that actually worked out to my advantage. On the first day, I made tight alliances with Alex, Tom, and Colleen. Mitchell and Sarah didn't show up until the second day I think, and I quickly got into their good graces as well. Pastor John was almost completely inactive, and was the obvious first boot on the team. All bases were covered on Chapera. Due to the ability to PM other teams, I also shamelessly formed bonds and alliances with other people in the game, most notably Ryan, Linda, and Jenna. Our team won the first several immunity challenges, and remained completely intact when the first switch happened. I wound up on Mogo Mogo along with Ryan, Linda, and Jenna - who all had alliances or some kind of deal with me. Also on this team were Gretchen and Jed - two outsiders and the people who obviously were going to get voted off first if our team lost. Gretchen was played by the same person who played Rodger in Redux Australia, so I knew her gameplan inside and out. She was a complete snake who would do or say anything to stay in the game... and was completely not to be trusted. I lobbied hardcore for her to go, not that it mattered much at that point anyway. He and Jed wanted me to vote for Linda, because she was a past winner. I played along with it, but it was clear where my vote was going to go. At the immunity challenge, Jed showed up late and posted several times in the main challenge thread, despite the fact that Jeff Probst had posted that if you posted out of turn during the competition your team would automatically lose the challenge. He was willing to forgive it first time because Jed was late, but the second time it happened, we were handed the automatic loss and sent to Tribal Council. Gretchen's torch was snuffed, despite me toying with the idea of voting for Jed because he had been such a moron at that challenge. We survived another boot or two before there was a second mixup. There was an individual challenge were the two winners would become team captains and get to select new teams. They also would have immunity at the first Tribal Council their team would go to. Just like in Vanuatu, I desperately wanted this power. I won the challenge (inactive Pastor John shockingly was the second winner) and won the right to select my team. I thought that it would be a good idea to keep my Mogo Mogo alliance with Jenna, Ryan, and Linda intact. I also wanted to keep my original Chapera alliance intact too. When John started picking all Chapera members to join his team, it played right into my hands. The only Chaperan I selected was Colleen. Otherwise I wound up with Jenna, Ryan, Linda, Ethan, Patricia, and Matt. I had kept my Chapera alliance intact and in majority on the other team. And I had solidified my position with the Mogo Mogo alliance on my team. I had positioned myself to be in a huge position of power when the merge came. Due to Colleen being the only original Chapera member on our team, she became a huge target. Due to the lobbying of myself and Alex (from the other team), we were able to convince Jenna, Ryan, and Linda that she was with us all the way to the F6. They believed it, and at the next two Tribal Councils, Ethan and Patricia were voted off. I remember Patricia being excessively bitter because she was blindsided and thought that she had a solid alliance with the other members of my team. She was never in one with me or a part of my plans, so I was glad to see her go. The merge came at F11, and pretty much every single vote was a blindside. At the first Tribal Council, I swung back to my original Chapera alliance and voted Matt off. However, due to mass confusion before Tribal Council, I was able to hide the fact that I had betrayed (and had intended to betray) the Mogo alliance from the start. At the next Tribal Council, there was no hiding my intentions, as I again sided with Chapera and blindsided Linda. Jenna was next to go. When it got the the F8, I knew the time was coming where I was going to have to change alliances and turn on the big Chapera alliance that was dominating the game. Since I was tightly aligned with Alex and Colleen (we had a F3 deal, and this one I intended on keeping) I knew we had three votes. Since Linda, Matt, and Jenna had all been voted off in a row, Ryan was next on the chopping block. I knew that if I could pull him in, and really - he had no other choice - that would give us 4 votes. Nick Brown, who wasn't in the Chapera alliance, but was being used by them as an extra vote, had a ton of past votes. If we could make it a tie, he would go home due to past votes, and our alliance of 4 would have the upper hand on the remaining three Chapera members in the game. We'd be up 4-3 and have a clear shot at the F4. We went through with the plan to vote for Nick. However, Mitchell switched his vote to Nick at the last minute, so there was no tie. But the plan had worked. Nick was blindsided and went home. Using our newfound numbers, Tom was next to go, and it was another blindside. We were now at F6. The remaining players consisted of myself, Ryan, Alex and Colleen as the F4 alliance. Mitchell and Sarah were the two remaining Chapera alliance people which we had turned on. Ryan at this point was becoming a huge threat to win if he made it to the end. Mitchell and Sarah wanted him gone. Alex, Colleen, and I thought about it. If we voted Ryan off, we would still be having a 3-2 numbers advantage. So we did it. Ryan was blindsided. At F5, Sarah and Mitchell worked hardcore to try and swing my vote over to their side. Little did they know, they were working on the wrong person. I had no intention of switching, not that they needed to know that. At the Tribal Council, Sarah was blindsided when I was the deciding vote that sent her home. At F4, Mitchell was next to go despite the fact that I had swore to vote for Alex and make it a tie. Oops. At F3 I was confident in my ability to win the endurance challenge and control my own destiny of who I would take to the end. Alex and Colleen were both former winners, so I knew it would be tough to beat either one. I also had F2 alliances with both of them, so I would have to outright betray one of them if I were to win the challenge. Not that this should have been anything new to me at this point! It was an epic endurance challenge that went all the way into the wee hours of the next morning. It was such a surreal experience having to sit in front of the computer for hours and hours and hours having to hit a button every 60 seconds. Colleen was first to drop out, after she missed a post while brewing coffee or something. Alex and I knew we were going to take each other, since we had been SO tight from the beginning. Every plan that went down in this game was made possible by us. We were the masterminds of this game. However both of us were too stubborn to drop out, and the challenge lasted even longer. Eventually, we struck a deal where I would drop out and he would take me to the end. It was what I wanted, as I wouldn't have to piss of Colleen by being the one to vote her out. But I was putting all my trust in Alex's hands. I had had solid control of the game from Day 1, and I was giving that control to someone else on the very last day of the game. Colleen was really working it hardcore to stay. I didn't really say anything. After a nervewracking ten minutes or so, Alex finally posted that he was cutting Colleen and taking me. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. I had made F2 in an All Stars game! I could actually win it. But I had screwed over so many people, I had no idea how I was perceived by the jury. At Tribal Council, I learned that they actually respected my game, despite the fact that I was a huge liar. I played hardcore, I played all out, and I played to win. And I did it in as likeable a manner as humanly possible. I won in a unanimous vote, and had collected my first win evah!! It was such a happy moment for me. One of the things I liked about this game, was that I was able to loosen up and really have fun while playing it. A lot of times, like Jun's House 4 for example, I play too seriously and businesslike, and I'm too paranoid, and I don't have enough fun along the way. This game I was able to have a blast while still playing a masterful strategic game. It helped big time that I had such a colorful character like Debb to play as. I modeled myself after the Sucks Debb, and wrote lots of gross poetry among other disgusting things. Here are a few examples: Sarah you whore I've got a surprise Pastor John, nail me to the cross Spit on my snatch and make me bleed Jam those holy beads up my ass Plug me with your godly dick I want to swallow your cum like Communion Take me to church Big Daddy and baptize me in your juices I'll pray at your penis and juggle your balls with my tongue Shove that Bible up my pussy Nail my lips to that cross Fuck me with your holy statue. Ram it in me. Piss in my mouth John I need it Amen Colleen Haskell you fucking whoreAlex and Debb, the last two standing I know my pussy can be so demanding A man and a woman , the way it should be No surprise that its you and me We make a good pair and we fuck like crazy We've worked real hard, can't call us lazy Alex my lover, my partner in crime The end is almost near, its almost time Before its over and the votes are cast For one last time would you fuck my ass? This game was so great, I was sad when it ended. And I can't say that about any other game I have been in. It proved that if done right, All Star games can be the most fun type of game out there.

You played a flawless game. Even though I knew you were a backstabbing whore I still somewhat trusted you and even used my final words to blast
Colleen...mostly cuz I didn't like her and I wanted to go out with a bang.

ASS Redux is the perfect example of why I will never fare well in open ID games. The Simpsons ASS I was voted off first, and in this game I put all my cards
in the people I like most from the boards. It screwed me over, but I don't regret it. Debb screwing me over wasn't so much a "WTF!!!" when
it happened. I kinda sat back in my chair and went "huh". Debb played the best and I respected her game, but the whole F3 was incredible. Alex and
Colleen deserve huge kudos, and they never get enough.
