Thanks, DAnn and Joey! :3

The story Beth wants to tell is as such - Sully and Chloe met while playing in a TAR game I hosted. Sully subsequently recruited Chloe, and then myself into the game. Sheriff was later roped in when I was discussing HI with him and brought up this game. Together, we created a rock-solid alliance where we figured out challenges, quizzes and kills for the game. You can ask Blondz, we figured out probably over half of the cast, or managed to narrow down the rough cliques/groups they were likely to settle into. Do keep in mind that our group was relatively isolated and we did not know that much about the other groups, besides Max's contact with DAnn and whatever was posted in the thread.

I'd probably divide our group like this: Sully and Chloe were the challenge whores (which is a role they play in practically every game they take part in; but I digress), Sheriff was no slouch himself, and I... well, I'd like to think I'm not too bad mentally, because otherwise, lmfao. But I feel like I did a fair bit of strategising throughout. While we were in the same alliance, I think our playing styles were different. The Sully approach is to go balls to the wall, and then some more, for every challenge. Sheriff and I weren't up to that level of challenge play, so we relied on our expertise at quizzes to skate by. My bone of contention with OTT challenge whoring is that it sets you up as an easy target (see: Thinga). The name of the game is not necessarily to dominate, but to avoid the axe. And that was something I was afforded with Chloe and later Sully being strong challenge players, although it should have been deducible that they generally perform well anyway. The only time I was vulnerable in the game was when I was caught in a tie due to the quiz being posted unfavourably for my time zone, and even then Sheriff and Sully's creativity made sure I was safe in any case (sorry CLD, lolol).

If you've noticed, our group managed to off Abby, Cal, Hunter, Maggie, Richard, Shane, Shea, Thomas and Trish. That's half of the cast that wasn't inactive/randomly killed. By and large, while Chloe and Sully dominated a fair bit killings-wise, we still stayed in the sidelines and avoid being caught in too much drama. Even Chloe's real-life problems, meaning that she was cut off from internet access, didn't stop us. The signs were ther, actually, if you opened your eyes - from all 4 of us picking each other for the same group to the results of the massacre round. We almost made it a clean sweep to the finals, but a few things stopped us.

1) YZYSG. yzysg's retarded inactivity stopped what would otherwise be a perfect plan to get rid of Kat at the final 5 round. Kat would've placed in the bottom 2 and placed at the mercy of Sully, but Jimmy didn't even submit his quiz. (I also tried to misdirect Kat into believing I had the best game score, but I doubt she fell for that.) I had many an angry rant, Max, Pino and Blondz can testify for this, but I later explained to yzy what happened in the game, and I think that's what compelled him to vote for me.

2) SHERIFF GOING MIA. Now that all is clear, I should elaborate that Sheriff Mills is a close Yuku friend of mine, HappyZappery (yes, my co-host for the dead ANTM rankings thread, lmfao). Sometime in early July he disappeared off the grid, since he was going to make his move from London to NYC. I hope you're alright, buddy - this win is dedicated to you.

I basically tried everything I could to stop Kat making the finals/win, even exposing her identity in the hopes that it would cause her to lose the F4 Killer challenge, but the abrupt change in rules of the game meant that all plans were basically for naught. Still, we made it to the very end, which was far more then I expected coming into this game at first. And hey, I won.

Thank you for an intensely fun and unique game, Blondz. Much love and kudos - best of luck with what else you're dealing with right now!


P.S.: Sully and I helped each other out with the kills. I wrote Sully's stories, while he helped me with the kill graphics. Yes, I did deliberately stick to the rambling, low-caps, couldn't give a shit and generally UTR Beth approach. IRL, I'd be more likely to write Sully-esque stories.
