episode 11: i'm walking a fine line here

[courtney]

so things are a bit COMPLICATED right now.

rod has told me he wants to vote out Colby, and vice versa as well. however, rodney has the votes to actually make this thing work and take out colby, while colby only really has me on his side, and even then I would vote him out to make sure i survive a round. 

HOWEVER, rodney told colby (after I had already worked to get the votes on colby) that rod gave him an ultimatum: vote me off and he'd survive, and if he didn't that he would go. colby told me this and told me he'd still vote rodney and if he goes, then so it shall be.

i told this to erik, and he proceeded to lemme know that rodney is gunning for me. and now i am incredibly worried.

i've asked erik, and he's already told me he's voting with rod, and that although he's options he thinks voting out rodney would fuck up his game in terms of jury management.

WELL SHIT




so here's what i'm hoping i can do

nat has already said she feels bad voting out colby, and i think she'll vote with us if we ask her to. that's three votes. i can use my vote nuller to nullify rodney's vote, so we'd only need 4 votes to have majority. that 4th vote would probably have to be andrea, and neither her or nat are on right now. fuck.

if nat doesn't want to do this, i'd have to approach andrea and ask her to use her double vote on rodney. and if i can't get her soon...fuck my life.

this game is hella stressful. i want to continue in this game, but i'm in a serious pickle. i think i can overcome it, but it'll take work.

LET'S DO THIS FAM.

[courtney]

fuck i didn't want to have to do this but Andrea's being DIFFICULT with me. she's taking everything i give and shooting it down with "something just doesn't seem right here" LITERALLY AFTER I TELL HER EVERYTHING. she thinks rodney is not the one in the most control right now, and thinks erik is. now that's probably true but we can't vote for him this round.

Andrea:
I dont want to vote rodney

Courtney Marit:
why not? he's shown to be incredibly shady and to freely give out your secrets (he's the whole reason i know you have the double vote)

Andrea:
The jury hates him

Courtney Marit:
let's say that you do help me get out rodney now. that gives you a lot of cred with the jury precisely because they hate him so much. this plan can't work unless you use your double vote, i can only really tie the vote up with my nullifier

Andrea:
I think the double vote can be saved and you can stay safe

Courtney Marit:
plus i don't trust rodney at FTC. he's very clearly got you guys doing what he wants now because he's a persuasive guy, who's to sy he can't make a good case for himself at FTC even with a jury that hates him?

Andrea:
He doesn't control as much as you think

Andrea:
He just gets the blame

Courtney Marit:
then who would you say has the most control?

Andrea:
Erik but we cant vote him
I need to brb

Courtney Marit:
so let's do the next best thing and take out his right hand man


SON OF A BITCH i may have to just fucking strong arm Andrea Tom Westman-style into voting with us by saying that if she doesn't i can convince everyone on the jury to not give her their FTC vote if she makes it. it's a very dick thing to do, but at this point i am veritably running out of options.

FUCK MY LIFE.

[courtney]

i swear to god if i get voted out tonight i'm calling everyone at tc and letting them how i feel about them. ESPECIALLY ANDREA. i'm fucking sick of her, shes's being so uselss right now, and I've had enough of it

Andrea

I dont think taking him out is smart


Courtney Marit
Why not?

Andrea
He's not the main problem


Courtney Marit
Erik is? Well we can't vote for him

So who is the next best option?



Courtney Marit
Ciera?

Mike?

Natalie?

Colby?

Andrea
Idk, rodney gets votes every round and doesn't go


Courtney Marit
then let's CHANGE THAT this round and make SURE he goes


Andrea
and I don't want to vote him because he's not coming after me


Courtney Marit
alright. then what do you suggest i do? just lay dead and hope to christ that i don't go?


Andrea
Idk yet


Courtney Marit
well time is running out andrea


Andrea
I dont have connections with people will be voting with us

Idk how that keeps me safe


Courtney Marit
you're safe because your name has not once come out of someone's mouth as a target, only as a number they can use


Andrea
Even later on, they wont protect me


Courtney Marit
playing it safe can only get you so far in this game. i've taken a lot of risks already and look at how far ive gotten

if you just get to the end by doing nothing, no one will respect you


Andrea
Ive won two immunties and done a lot behind the scenes


Courtney Marit
like what?


Andrea
I cant really say at this moment lol


Courtney Marit
so what are you gonna do then? vote with rodney and get me out?


Andrea
I think my best bet of making it far is with you not here.


Courtney Marit
then why didn't you just tell me this in the first place?


Andrea
Cause I wanted to help you

But you said you're not willing to work with people

Courtney Marit
i'm not willing to work with rodney because i know he's gunning for me. why would i work with him in that circumstance?


Andrea
Rodney going hurts my game

He is a big threat, that keeps a target off me


Courtney Marit
you keep a threat around long enough, and sooner or later they outlast you. you've been keeping him around for too long already


Andrea
You have a ton of friends on the Jury. Going up against you in the end would be an auto lose


Andrea
I'm sorry :/


Courtney Marit
you're right, i do have a bunch of friends on the jury. now let's say i do go this round and join them. i can guarantee after i tell them everything going down this round you will straight up lose four jury votes, five once colby inevitably joins us. that right there is a guaranteed auto lose


Andrea
Angie and Parvati already dislike me


Courtney Marit
and you can bet i can convince the others to think the same


Andrea
And you have every right to be mad at me


Courtney Marit
i'm furious


Andrea
I'm sorry, this is the worst part of this game


Courtney Marit
i've worked too damn hard to lose now. i put in seven hours into a meangingless posting challenge when most of yall couldn't even bee bothered with it


Andrea
I feel terrible for doing it, you played an awesome game


Andrea
I have a ton of respect for you


Courtney Marit
i'm sure you do.


Andrea
You can trash me to angie and them if you want, I know it sucks


Courtney Marit
i'll ask one more time. if you vote with me and colby this round, and it is successful, i'll forget everything i just said about the jury and everything will be chill. if not, then i'm sorry.


Andrea
I'm sorry, I think it's better for my game if I vote you out. I understand if you hate me and want to cuss me out. I don't play many games and I'm not very good


Courtney Marit
that's fine then. i'm sorry that you'll be losing the game because of this move, but c'est la vie




i just went full Jace Agoli on this girl and I don't even care. Nat, please come through.

[courtney]

tbh I have no fucking idea what that accomplished, but idc.
