Dear Jury,
I would like to submit my candidacy for the job position of Big Brother Warzone: All-Stars Winner. My previous experience in the field of battle include heating up an epic war in Big Brother Warzone 1 in which regrettably, I was a casualty. My experience also includes pwning most your asses in this game to get to the position I am in today.
While I have no previous experience as a Big Brother Warzone winner I believe I am an ideal choice for the job because of my superb usage of my starting position (douche personality, backstabber reputation, and lack of competition skills) to further my game. Additionally I have also made the right strategic moves. Finally, I'm really fucking hot.
I will begin with a discussion of my strategy in broad strokes:
When you come into a game...for the most part you have the freedom to define how you will be seen in that game. Unless that game is an All Stars in which case you better fucking remember what people think they know about you.
KNOW YOUR ROLE
If you were a comp whore in your original season, you should keep being a comp whore because no one is going to be fooled if you throw a few comps, might as well take the safety. If you played a clean game your original season, you should probably play a more dirty game because few would suspect. Less obviously though, if you played a game so dirty that if your game were a plate you'd prefer to eat off shit...then it's really not a bad idea to play a much cleaner game, because again, no one would suspect.
I'm not saying I played a Saintly game, I played as a Sinner both seasons. Unlike my last season though I played with loyalty to the people that I felt truly had my back. That was Jessica in week 1 until she was evicted. That was also Jason week 1 until he blindsided the vote in my face and lied to me about it. Then it became Hell's Angels with Dave, Roddy, and Lydia whom I have never fucked over or made a move against.
The advantage of the self serving lone wolf categorization that I felt I came in with was that everyone could honestly believe I wasn't truly working with someone. That's an advantage that people like Sarah or Nathan for instance didn't have. When I didn't know who the fuck Sarah or Nathan were working with, it was never a question of whether they had an alliance or not, it was just a matter of who. However when I didn't know who Jun was working with I was content to assume that maybe she was alone with a bunch of meaningless deals thrown around. I think people looked at my game during the game in some approximation of Jun's. People didn't know my alliance and for the most part were content to assume that I simply didn't have one.
That's the positive side of the role I got to play this season. There is also though a huge disadvantage to this role and I think it was the cause of death for the other self serving lone wolf types in this game...NO ONE CAN EVER BE SURE WHERE YOU STAND.
I did earn the rest of Hell's Angels trust in the old fashioned give-trust-get-trust-and-bond way. For everyone else I needed something transparent that would show beyond any shadow of a doubt where I stood. This is where a key component of my strategy came in.
FIND A PERSON TO YELL AT AND BITCH TO PEOPLE ABOUT
Nothing shows where you stand like going to war. In my opinion to do it right you have to go way above and beyond the call of duty to make it work. People have good reasons to fake fights, Hell's Angels did it the week I was HoH. I felt like I had to make my real fights so HUGE that people wouldn't even consider it just messing around.
My targets were not random. They were always strong players both socially and in the competitions. Most of the other people in the game liked my targets, but at the same time most of the other people in the game knew they couldn't win against my targets if my targets would even lead them to end. I reasoned that many people were probably preparing to fuck my targets over at some point.
Because most people were scared to even talk about taking those players out in the open, the fact that I was doing it gave the majority a piece to use in their planned future betrayal that they could be confident about. Since I was always running my mouth about the biggest threats in the game which went from Sheila and Jason to Nathan and Renny, I was always at a huge risk to be nominated. However I was always confident that I had the votes to stay. Both times that I was nominated I was up against people who people saw as “my type.” I feel that being more aggressively against Sheila helped me survive the vote against Natalie, and being more aggressively against Renny and Nathan than Jun helped me survive against Jun.
In that way I feel that being a huge douche to the biggest threats in the house helped take the disadvantage off being a “lone wolf.”
That's the broad strokes. There's a lot of details like the moves I made round by round but I have a feeling that will come up in the questions and I have no urge to repeat myself over and over to you motherfuckers. Ask away and if I feel like I didn't get to gloat/rant about something important I'll make sure to put it in my closing statement.
Happy questioning.
