The arena revival is amazing. The duel version was so fun even though I got 6th it was the most fun I have had in a game format that I didn't win lol. I feel like there was a little lull in the momentum for me after some of the new comps and changes sort of messed with me, but now this update has been such a strong addition! Well done Kovaze team! @Sin
In response to my opponent’s blog while I slept, I figured I would give a little game summary too even though normally i just let the game speak for itself. But first of all I would like the thank @Aiden for keeping his word to me all game! We had a final 2 deal on day one and we did the thing! My claim to the game I played a strong all-around game. If you think Outwit, Outplay, Outlast I did all of those things in order to secure my spot in the end along with ensuring I could take the person I chose on day 1 with me all the way. I entered this game with a big target on my back, but I used a combination of challenge wins, genuine social connections, and strategic decision making to navigate my way through the game for not only myself but for Aiden. I met some really cool people this game that unfortunately had to get voted out for my vision of Aiden and I making final 2 together to come true. I clutched up at times with challenges this game, and Aiden is right, that alone doesn't win you games. But my tribe won all but 1 of the tribal immunities which actually made things a bit harder for me in a way because I didn't exactly know who I could trust since we didn't have to vote. This is why I felt I needed to dominate challenges to buy me some time to build trust in the voting. I snagged 4 individual immunities along the way which is the most I have done in a season. I certainly made my target even bigger by doing this, and yet on days I wasn’t immune I never got a single vote cast against me. I think this was because when I had the necklace on is when I actually played the hardest. I used the necklace to help gather information, take time to make genuine connections with people since I didn’t have to be worried about myself getting voted, and ultimately make bolder plays. I think that is the best way to leverage the immunity. I also knew I had methods of keeping Aiden safe if I played a bit too hard and people wanted to start swinging at my allies to weaken me (see below). In all my games I have always had votes thrown my way throughout, but this time I made it to the end with just the 1 default from Runways here at final 3. I also found an immunity idol on day 1 that I kept secret from everyone (even Aiden) until final 6, and I never had to use it. I pulled a Parvati and bluffed it at final 6 that I was going to play it but didn’t in order to buy myself two tribals with it, but ended up having immunity at 5 (with a very lucky 3-way tie after Cray was voted out who would have had the highest score and had an idol) so I burned the idol on Runways just to show I had it and didn’t need it. This moment in the game really solidified my path to final 2 as difficult as the move was personally. Then the final 4 was the messiest situation I had seen at final 4, but in the end all of my game moves make no sense if I turned on Aiden in the final moments of the game, so I didn’t waiver and that’s why I was taken to the end despite being a big threat. In the end it could have been a game winning decision to stay loyal to Aiden. If you want to know the details of any situation that happened in the game you can message me on discord. I won’t post everyone’s tribute publicly, but I can send it to you individually if you want. I tried to give context after votes, but some details I had to leave out to ensure it didn’t mess with my long term strategy. Thanks everyone for playing this game with me! Good luck @Aiden! @KnowUh @Meredith25 @ohEMgee @Fairytales @Dimitra @Mp231 @Sapphire @Druhhbby @Akshay @Arikoman @Cray @Faith3222T @Pipes @Runaways

Has gone so low! I have been getting terrible luck with partners not always those who are weak at comps but someone who happens to be weak at the same ones I am and we draw those comps right away. I’m so sad.
