jmovies Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 When the finale is over, I'll post some questions in here about the season and I hope it starts a discussion among this season's players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmovies Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 So to start off, was Frankenberry a deserving winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed005 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Definitely, he won a bunch of immunities during the season. It's always impressive when a strong player manages to have a target on his back for a long period of time and still make it all the way to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmovies Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Other questions I want to ask and you guys can chime in when you want. Was there anything dramatic behind the scenes which occurred that you think greatly affected the game? Who was the most shocking elimination? Should Ariadne have been in the finale instead of Empire? I want to know more of how you all strategized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I thought it was great that IMF regained its footing after all the losses at the beginning. Frankenberry definitely deserved his win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankenberry Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Was there anything dramatic behind the scenes which occurred that you think greatly affected the game? The only real drama I was apart of was the week Totem was eliminated. That whole week was crazy. I had an alliance with ESB. The plan was for us to both vote out Totem. I assumed Ariadne would also vote for Totem and Totem would vote for me. That had me scared a bit because if Totem won immunity, I'd be going home. To make sure that's how the votes were going (and after ESB voting for Numbers the week before, I had slight suspicions) I sent a pm to Ariadne asking her to vote out ESB. Ariadne then told me she'd been in an alliance with ESB for a while. Not too shocking a revelation, but it meant I'd be stuck crossing my fingers Totem lost immunity. But THEN Totem pulled off a pretty amazing strategic move. As briefly discussed in that week's thread, he sent Ariadne and I a pm, then blocked me from the conversation. I never even got the pm here. The only reason I knew about the conversation was because it sent me an email and I could read it there. In that email I read that Ariadne told Totem she was voting me out. That got me REALLY worried, so I scrambled to save my ass. Luckily, I'd already sent in my vote and Totem ended up going home anyway. Phew. Who was the most shocking elimination? Numbers. I wasn't even thinking about Totem winning immunity and was convinced it'd be an IMF final 4. Should Ariadne have been in the finale instead of Empire? Well, I certainly don't regret my choice. I want to know more of how you all strategized. My strategy was to not look like too much of a threat at the beginning, but then break away from the pack when I felt the time was right. I had no alliances until very late in the game. I wanted an all IMF final, and I figured Numbers was probably on the same page, so I sent a pm to Ariadne and ESB to form an alliance. Ariadne didn't respond, but ESB joined in. So I felt like I had ESB and Numbers on my side to take down Totem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ariadne and I formed an alliance at the very beginning of the game and tried to recruit other IMF people and help direct them who to vote against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The shocking elimination was me getting the boot on strikes. Just had bad luck with my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmovies Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 The shocking elimination was me getting the boot on strikes. Just had bad luck with my phone. Which made me so sad. You were a great player and I hated that I had to eliminate you on a technicality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieGuyKyle16 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 well I tried to start an alliance during the season but that didn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The only real alliance I had was with Ariadne and she was the only person I wouldn't ever vote for. I did trick Fank into think I was working with him and Totem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I didn't believe you were working with me ESB, I was trying to get everyone to vote you off that weekend I was eliminated but it didn't work. I didn't do much strategising early on but when Alfred and bed were eliminated I was put in a tight corner but in the end my predictions that week were no were near good enough to cut it. I think there was one week were I won Tuesday immunity by the smallest of margins that was pretty damn exciting, I spent half the season obsessing over how I was going to eliminate Numbers because I had a feeling he had a strong alliance and the second immunity which would carry him to the end. ESB was a huge underdog and very impressive in making the final 2, Frankenberry really deserved the win and Ariadne was also great throughout the season. One of the toughest seasons yet, almost everyone was on point and we had a few veterans predicting who were able to really shake up the game if they weren't eliminated early on.

That was an epic week my plan was to turn you and Ariadne against each which might have worked if you hadn't already voted me, I was trying to get everyone to vote ESB and me and ESB to vote for you, I also told ESB not to predict in the Tuesday immunty so I could increase my chances, in the end though all that strategizing had me dizzy and confused.

Totem Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I want to know more of how you all strategized. My plan was just to predict my way through the whole season which worked, I only formed an alliance with bed and Alfred because Alfred approached me and the three of us have a history together in this game.

RichWS Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Congrats to the winner. It was great fun watching this season unfold. It was my first go-around and I wish I actually formed one alliance and stuck around longer. Can't wait till next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I really thought that it's gonna be an Ariadne vs Totem final after my plan were completely shattered and bed followed me out soon after as well. Let's face it the strategy and the alliance worked, we just didn't see any fruit from it in the end. Alongside Frank, who's a worthy winner I think Ariadne played the best game.
