The Jury House

The round Villanelle went, she was actually trying to get me to put Jim up and I wouldn't budge.

Ugh, I wanted you to put him up too lmao.

Why didn't you let Jim take Buffy out ? So you had a better chance at winning in the F2

I would've been crazy to go against majority on that vote though lol.

I think Jim would have voted with you and then maybe Spongebob could have been swayed.

Overall I find it interesting. When Buffy was talking to me in here, the way she spoke sounded like she looked at me as some kind of sociopath that would be eager to backstab her. It's surprising to hear that at one point she seemed to genuinely believe/want to be in an actual alliance with me.

What did Jim say about me to you? Did he ever tell you that I wanted you and Buffy out of the game? I confided with him a lot about how I actually felt about the game, and I very much spoke in a candid way with him about wanting to get you and Buffy out of the game as soon as possible.

I'm curious to know if Jim relayed any of that info to you and if he said anything about me to you in general.

I'm sure Buffy was always on her guard with you, but I can say that she spoke about you with a lot of respect. I forced my allies together a lot (JABSS was basically me bringing my allies into one alliance knowing they probably don't want to work together) so I know the difference between when Buffy wants to work with someone and when she is just doing it to make me happy. I think she wanted to believe you more than she actually did.

Jim didn't say much about you at all till the night you got evicted. That night he told me he would vote to keep you and then when I put you up he came to me and spilled that you had been against us and told me he was voting you out to protect me. I was blindsided.

Jim is totally confusing to me. Lmao.

To me it sounds like he was spinning his vote to evict me as a way to make it sound like he was doing you a favor. Jim, Natalie and Pedro were ready to vote to keep me, but when we believed hope was lost, it was best for them to not vote to keep me so I went ahead and did my speech.

I don't think Jim was as loyal to you as you think he was. The amount of conniving and scheming I did with him about wanting to go after Buffy/you was a LOT. And it sounds like he didn't tell you about it until it served him well.

We will only know for sure in a couple days when we can ask him, but I feel like his true motive was to get Buffy out without blood on his hands. He wanted me to run back to him with my dick between my legs. I felt it in my gut that he was scheming behind my back to get his way.

The funny thing about your vote is that Spongebob was willing to keep you too, but then Jim did his thing and made me feel like there was no hope.


This is what Jim told me after I put you up, after I had asked him to vote to keep you


"So dude - as you mentioned you want communication between us to be as open as possible and I want to look out for you. I know Cameron likely would come after both you and I especially since I outed her new alliance about you but I know that Villanelle has been trying to get you out for a long time. Shes trying to make sure I keep her by saying shes the only shot at beating you guys in an hoh. Are you 100% sure that Cameron is the move??

You are a good person and I have mentioned it before - I have considered you my ride or die in this game and that hasn't changed. It's okay if I'm not yours back. I was kicking myself for lying to you about the DW vote and I wont let that happen again. I truly do feel like Villanelle staying could be something that gets you sent out the door and I wont let that happen"

Well I actually did want to keep Cameron from the start when they touched the block lol. I would've only kept V had she had the votes to stay which in my eyes she didn't. Pedro was telling Cameron and V two different things regarding his vote and he wouldn't tell me where he wanted to vote. He would just say he wanted to vote with the majority. Jim I didn't bother asking because I knew he wouldn't respond lol and would just beat around the bush about it like always. And Natalie is the only one I knew who wanted to keep V. She gave me her reasons which some made sense and we discussed about it

Aaron I only have 1 question. Be honest with it. Were you playing this game for Buffy to win?

Not intentionally but I can see how it would look that way. I know it would have been suicide to go against her in the end but I would have fought to try and prove my game. I struggled many times throughout this game and Buffy often was the reason to stay and keep fighting. I think this is what probably gives the impression I was playing for her to win.

Can you talk exactly with what you were struggling with? I don’t know how winning so many comps and avoiding the block till final 4 is viewed as struggling. Unless there’s more to it

I found the social aspect hard. Until I found Buffy, it was hard having a real connection. Eventually it got better and I formed real bonds with others too, but she was the first. That blowup with Russell and Amy was hard because for a time, people thought I was bullying others and using words I wouldn't use. All the people I cared about thinking I'm a liar (Syd/Dany mainly) started to take a toll eventually. Having to betray people was hard. All my allies other than Buffy were scheming behind my back. Having to log on every day knowing 90% of the people want me gone was hard. Having to sit here for hours studying things and learning how to get faster because I have to win the challenges to survive was stressful. Sorry Cameron, but you act like I logged on and walked into the wins. It wasn't that easy.

I didn't scheme behind your back btw lmao and that's probably because no one wanted to scheme with me

I know I’m not letting it factor into my jury vote decision but I think for this game, it’s different to twitter games where players can play again and again because they’re being themselves. Here everybody is a different character so even if they are returning players, we wouldn’t know anyway but as newbies, it would’ve given us a bit more encouragement to try harder and study more of the game and it’s rules knowing that it’s not all newbies. Like for example, the first week I barely knew how to work this forum. Those 7 players already did so they had a head start in that aspect

That's my bad Daenerys, sometimes I forget how to Host to newbies. I never meant to hide it, au contraire, I thought everyone knew so that's why I didn't think to make an announcement about it. Ill make sure to highlight that for season 3 since I plan on letting a certain number of people return if people want to.

Also for all I know, all 3 of the F3 could be returning players so there’s no way that can affect my vote

that’s no problem Arisa <3 it’s not a knock to your hosting skills at all. you’re doing amazing with this forum and I’m sure it’ll just increase from here

I def want to get better each season. I was super rusty last season but this season I just started too quick. Im gonna take a few days off before doing season 3 so Im more prepared. Yall were an amazing cast though. Im priviledged <3

GKS:JDNFKLJABDLJA Who want to start a pre-game alliance for Season 3.

Hey Arisa! You really did such a good job with this season. Let me put my pitchfork down for these season 1 players lol. I know I will not be attempting to have my assumptions on their identities influence my vote. I wouldn’t want to accuse Buffy as being Stacia and then be wrong. I’m sure I made it loud and clear in my DRs what I was frustrated about lol

I did know that you were your own person and like Jim, I felt like you were with Buffy through me and would probably shoot your shot if you could.

Buffy had the diamond veto she could use that round so even if Jim did take a shot at her, she would have used the veto.

Aaron how does the day after feel?

I feel like it’s a feeling of relief. I’m sure you’d rather be in the game but there is something about the day after where you’re like “man, this is it; it’s over!” Now that some time has passed since the eviction, how are you holding up? How was your experience in the game overall?

I feel much lighter today and like I don't feel angry anymore lol. I even feel like I have more appetite today. I'm not used to having a stressful life so all the stress inside the game took a toll on my body. I still had fun and gained some computer skills, met some great people, even some I hope to meet after.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I really don’t have any beef with you by the way, in case that wasn’t clear. I’m just the showman lol. I have a ton of respect for you as a player and I’m glad we got to play together, even if we were at odds. It made things chaotic and fun <3 love you xo
