In my defence for the pole challenge, I work for eight hours a day doing boring, repetitive bullshit. I don't spend my relaxation time doing the same thing. I didn't give a shit if anyone else did it, I just didn't want to do it myself.

Now, on to the rest. I have a few pre-conceived notions of who I think should win this, but they're heavily dependent on how you three answer these questions:

Castiel: Describe your strategy both pre- and post-merge, as well as how it tied in to Slytherin's overall strategy in the pre-merge game.

Caesar: Do you think sticking to the background has worked out for you? Try to explain your reasoning as well.

Guljons: Same question as Castiel, but with Gryffindor house.

All three: What did you think of the challenges as a whole? Did you have a favourite one that you put extra effort into? Were there any you particularly didn't like? Were you as shocked as I was when Irene blitzed the sudoku challenge?

Yeah, I'm basically pulling these questions out of my arse, but I have been curious, especially in regards to Castiel and Slytherin's strategy.

 

Well, no. I made it to the end, so I wouldn't want to risk changing something and not getting here.

From day 1 my strategy was to get in an 5-person alliance, so that we could control our tribe and, after that, have at least 5 solid persons starting the merge.

So in night 1, I went to Irene proposing this. She agreed and I talked with Caesar, while she went to you and Na'eblis. That is how our alliance was born, at least from my perspective.

At the same time I talked also with TSN and Caeser about working together, because we were concerned, that the other 5 people in our tribe already knowed each other pretty well and would band together. That didn't happen, so I went with 5.p alliance.

When we got to the merge my primary concern was to first get couple of Slytherins out. After that, look at it any way you want, all 5 of us couldn't go to the end. So I started thinking about different ways how to get myself there, mostly talking about this with Caesar. There were different possibilities, but Ash and Na'eblis quiting didn't leave that many options in the end. This is also the primary reason, why any Slytherin got to the end.

Anyway, I was solid with Caesar since night 1, so I was set going to the end with him. Which I did, no matter what arguments Stojil kept giving.

All in all, I feel pretty good about the game I played and I stand by my decisions.

---------- Post automerged at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

I think that it would have been more competitive, if the challanges like the Pole balance and sudoku would have combined the best 3 times from each tribe and then see which tribe as a whole was better.
My favorite probably was the the Sudoku. Those two times, where was I tried the most. I didn't like the writting one, because I'm shit at that.
And yes.

 

Pre-merge, I wanted to get myself and as many Slytherins as possible in the post-merge game. We did not have strict different factions in the house but I am pretty sure that quite a few of us were talking to each other via QTs, Stojil hinted Anya was planning something though I am not sure what, if anything, that was.

Post-merge, the starting challenges threw me off my game a little, probably good, because that removed me as a threat and allowed me to progress till the end. I wanted to get Stojil into the final three, mostly because he played a better game, but it didn't work so I tried my best to win the game for my house.

They were pretty good. Sudoku would be my favorite but I also had a lot of fun in the 'threading a story' challenge. The only challenge I did not particularly like was the writing one. Very shocked.

 

TSN, Nae'blis?

Lets get this rolling.

 

I think the responses I've seen so far are enough for me to make a decision, tbh. Aekiel asked asked the few questions I had in mind.

Oh, Caesar, why did my posts give you a high blood pressure?

Castiel, I quit because of time constraints and because playing it was becoming a chore, b/w other shit I had to do. Nothing against the game itself, I just didn't enjoy it as much as others. There was virtually no interaction b/w members on the forums aside from challenges. And the whole alliance and backstabbing thing just isn't what I wanted to spend my time working on. :|

So yeah, so far, I'm with Stojil and Irene, and Castiel is my favorite, for reasons others have already given.

I guess it's up to you to convince me to vote for you and not him, guljons and Caesar.

 

Bump.

Zeit/Palindrome, some help/prodding/proof of you being alive would be appreciated.

Finalists? Are you not playing this anymore?

 

Well Nae'blis didn't ask any questions.
And TSN is still missing.
So at least for me there is nothing to answer.

 

I wrote what I had to int he ponderosa. I toguht that was where I was supose to put it.

 

I am playing. I don't know what if anything I am supposed to do next.

 

If the questions are over, then maybe we can go to the voting part?

There has to be someone, who can finish this with authority.

 

Wizengamot members, go to the QT, please.

 

Well, it looks like TSN and Nae'blis aren't going to vote, maybe because the outcome is already decided.

Castiel wins with 4 votes. Yay?

Wizengamot QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/5iNLrvLEvqMjx

This feels almost like closure. We can all move on and go back to our lives, now. I might cry.

 

Ah, well. At least I got a vote. Thanks Aek.
It was a fun game guys.

 

Lol, what even happened here.

 

...I voted. D:

Zeit said to vote in our QTs, so I did. I even asked you to ping me if there was any progress, Stojil. :-/

Anyway. My vote goes to Castiel.

 

I won! yay!

It was fun. Thanks for the game guys!

 

I was on holiday so I have no idea what's going on. Zeit, wrap your shit up, man!

Bump for Zeit zeit.

 

Hi guys, I know that it seems like a very, very late post. Basically, my grandfather passed away, followed by one of my high school mentors, and I wasn't in a good "place". It was a bad time, and my studies piled on.

That is still no excuse for the colossal lateness of at least five months, and for that, I apologise profusely. You guys deserved to get a sense of finality, which is why I've decided to come back. After going through the highs and lows of this game, you all deserve closure.

Now, the analysis and official "Reunion" segment of this show can begin


.

You have made it to the Reunion Show! Castiel, congratulations, you are now officially the Sole Survivor and inaugural winner. That means, in addition to eternal glory, you are guaranteed a spot in the DLP All-Stars season, Survivor: Heroes vs Villains. And now, we enter reflections about the game, whereby we discuss the strategies and elements of the game, before announcing the winners of various prizes.

One World. One House. One Winner.​

Welcome, castaways, to the Reunion Show. You have finally left the DLP Island, had a shower, and cleaned up, assimilating back into normal life. And now, you're back for the reunion, the entire cast.

This is the opportunity for us to discuss your decisions, talk about what went wrong and what went well.

Firstly, the Alliances:

Slytherin Four Alliance: fontisian, klackerz, Castiel, Stojil
Gryffindor Core Five Alliance: Aekiel, Caesar, guljons, Irene, Nae'blis
Gryffindor Core Five Alliance Minus Irene: Aekiel, Caesar, guljons


The Gryffindors dominated this game. They only lost two members before the Merge (Ash, LochNess), and their prowess at the Challenges was simply out of this world. Specifically, Irene (with the support of her Right-Hand Man, Nae'blis) ran the Gryffindor Alliance, targeting outsiders Ness & Ash to eliminate both potential threats. The Core Five Alliance voted decisively, avoiding ties and deadlocks, to eliminate without a shadow of doubt, to their complete advantage.

In contrast, the Slytherins were poorly unified and did not initially work well as a team. All of them were paranoid of one another and refused to work with each other, some of it stemming from Stojil's independence and "Lone Wolf" strategy. Fontisian was the lone strategic player, realising that eliminating players such as Aziraphale and Anya were poor moves in the long run.

Hence, Gryffindor pagonged the Slytherins, having the numbers of the Lions' side.

Once we reached the last stages of the Merge, however, things began to change. fontisian's elimination and Irene's sudden lack of Individual Immunity gave guljons & Caesar a chance to eliminate the Leader and Hero of Gryffindor. The former especially, as a Survivor fan, knew that if Irene reached the Final Tribal Council, she would win the games, hands down. Hence, she had to be blindsided.

And she was. Guljons managed to convince Caesar & Aekiel to vote against her, and she was eliminated, before the last Slytherins Stojil & Castiel, in fact. She was eliminated because she was too likeable and likely to win.

Stojil's elimination at 4th place quickly followed, before guljons & Caesar, a tight duo, then blindsided Aekiel, another potential winner. The rationale was that Castiel, the "dead-weight" and last Slytherin, had not pulled any big moves and hence would not accrue any Wizengamot votes.

However, Castiel's defensive play, in that he had crucially never back-stabbed anybody, helped him win the Wizengamot's favour over the more conniving gameplay from guljons & Caesar, proving that Survivor has both strategic and social elements. A future lesson is to never let another "Castiel" reach the finale, because if he/she can successfully use the "Underdog Card", he/she will win the game.

Now, with those thoughts in mind, it is time to announce to which Tribe (Heroes or Villains) the Finalists belong and the identities and Tribe allocations of the players invited back for Survivor: All-Stars!
