Description of in-game events:
As of the start of the game, I didn't have any plan at all. I more or less planned to just stay under the radar, where my only real goal in mind was to make it to the jury. This quickly changed though when Xonar approached me, offering me an alliance. He told me that he wanted an alliance of "just the two of us" to make it until endgame. I accepted, but suggested that we add more people to our alliance, since there was no way that a two man alliance could win.
Shortly thereafter he introduced me to the alliance that I was in for the rest of the game, and then it all just took off from there.

Gheb actually approached me on facebook after the first HoH. He wanted to start a non-aggression pact with me. We had a nice long conversation and, funnily enough, I was feeding the entire thing to Xonar over skype. I imagine that the conversation must have looked janky as hell to Gheb, because I was replying with everything that Xonar told me to reply with. The conversation, as a whole was pretty messy, as what I said contradicted what Xonar wanted me to say.
Also, at some point Xonar wanted to start a fake alliance between me, him, Gheb, and I think Swiss and Kat. I don't really remember why, or what happened to it, but the whole thing kinda fell through pretty quickly for one reason or another.
In the end, I voted Gheb, only because Xonar told me to. As Xonar put it, Gheb "couldn't be trusted," and that he was "useless" (he didn't have any valuable information to use, plus he wasn't in an alliance with anyone else). Plus, the rest of my alliance was down with getting rid of Gheb to. Which is a shame to me, as Gheb probably would of been good to have on my jury. However, keeping things tight with my allegiance was much more important, and plus I'll take them on my jury any day over someone who only wanted a non-aggression pact with me.
I don't know why most other people also wanted Gheb dead, so I'll like to hear what other people were thinking. Originally, I thought that Gheb was just too open, too straight-forward, of a player. Knowing what I know now though, I wouldn't be surprised if Xonar's persuasion of other players had a large part to do with it.

I was ****ing blown away when Tanny put Xonar up for eviction. At the time, I was super tight with xonar, and I thought that Xonar was pretty solid with our alliance as well. It didn't help that Tanny was v/la at the time, and that Xonar was talking to me in private about plans to backstab Tanny.
I can't remember why exactly Xonar wanted Tanny dead, but I believe he said that Tanny was in another alliance. I don't know if Tanny was actually in another alliance. At a time I did believe that she was talking to other players outside of our alliance (one of them being Badwolf), but later Tanny wanted Badwolf dead, so meh. In retrospect, Xonar just probably didn't have any influence over Tanny or these other players, which he didn't like.
When Tanny did finally come back from her v/la in the eleventh hour, we talked things over. According to Tanny, Xonar was in multiple alliances, and could not be trusted. My initial thought was that Xonar was just "gathering intelligence." I was very reluctant to vote Xonar, but Joey was also behind getting rid of Xonar, and I really wanted to keep my alliance together. Not only this, but Loli was also very reluctant to vote out Xonar. At the time, our alliance was looking pretty week, with our division on the issue of what to do with Xonar, Xonar's possible eviction, and Vinly's self-eviction. This was bad for me, because I REALLY wanted to keep our numbers strong.
After talking to Joey (who was supposedly fed the information by an anonymous source [who I'm guessing to be Swiss purely off a hunch]) I ultimately decided to, with great reluctance, vote Xonar. I was pretty indecisive about the decision as a whole, but in the end Joey's words convinced me. I would learn soon to have not regretted my decision.
I actually thought that, at the time of voting, Xonar was unanimously going to be voted out (another reason for why I voted against Xonar). This was because I believed, due to faulty information that Xonar fed me, that Kat/Swiss/Ryker/Soup/Rake/Stew and in general a **** load of people were all on an alliance, and were going to vote out Xonar. At a time, I believed that the game was me/Vinyl/Joey/Tanny/Loli/Xonar with Badwolf and Tricky as middle players vs. the above mentioned people. I now think that I was terribly wrong about this, that other alliances were probably as broken up as we were after Xonar's eviction. I can't say for sure though, so I would once again like to hear some other thoughts on this.
So it was much to my surprise after the vote (in which I know that me, Loli, and Joey all voted against Xonar) that the vote was dead even, at four votes to four. So, after this, I approached Kat in hopes that he would have some information, and boy did he!
We weren't able to find out who voted who exactly, but from Kat, I learned that:
-He was mostly an isolated player, with only some relations to Swiss.
-Swiss voted agaisnt Kat.
-Xonar made a very useful chart of who approached who (to his knowledge), who was in an alliance with who (to his knowledge) , and who he had relations with.
This chart basically dispelled the myth that there was any "super alliances," plus it TOTALLY justified my vote on Xonar. Like, I specifically asked Xonar after Tanny put him up for eviction if he had been communicating with anyone else at the time (I suspected that he did, but I didn't want to incriminate him with this information, I wanted to see if I could use it to smooth things out between him and Tanny. Remember, I originally DIDN'T want Xonar evicted). He told me that he didn't, but from that chart I learned that that was a bold face lie. He was communicating with Ryker and Kat, and I'm sorry Xonar but as an ally that's some information that I really would have liked to know.

There's not really too much to say here. The eviction was up between Tricky (who my alliance had a nonaggression pact with) and Stew (not a particularly large threat, but a wild card nevertheless).
At the time, Tanny REALLY wanted Ryker and Swiss dead, so she toyed around with the idea of getting rid of tricky, as a way of "getting" at Ryker, since Ryker put Stew up for eviction. However, I thought that this plan was kinda week, and I didn't want to lose anymore potential allies (at this point in time, Tanny and Loli were the only people left in my alliance), so I steered us away from that line of thinking. In the end, we went the obvious choice of Stew, and just like I predicted (although it was a surprisingly close vote) Stew was evicted. Easy.
Future targets:
Ay entire alliance thought that Ryker had a considerable amount of influence after Stew's eviction, so he became our prime target. Plus, we knew that he was going to threaten Tanny as long as he remained in the game, and that just wouldn't do. I especially wanted Ryker gone, because Tanny was a key player to me. She was good at the challenges, and I knew that as long as I had her on my side, I wouldn't have to worry about winning the HoH too much.
On top of that, we were paranoid that Badwolf was in another alliance, because of his refusal to join ours. Also, I believe Loli said something about him being in another alliance (although I'm not positive on that), so he became a secondary target. Also, according to Xonar's chart, Soup wanted to align himself with Ryker, and for reasons I cannot recall I also believed that Rake was alined with Ryker, so those two also became secondary targets.
Tanny really wanted Swiss dead. I don't remember why, but she and him had bad relations with one another. Tis was a shame, because this kept Kat from accepting our invention into our alliance, as he wanted to remain true to Swiss.
Personally, I wish the two set their differences aside, because I would have liked to recruit BOTH Swiss and Kat if possible. However, I held my tongue on this, and now I acknowledge that there might be more to it than I realized.
---
One last thing to mention was that near the end of the game, we were about to recruit Tricky for the sake of having stronger numbers. She approached me first, and I was straight forward with her. She replied cautiously, but after some probing, I found out that she only considered herself in an alliance with Tanny and Loli, so recruiting her would have been easy. However, before that happened, the game fell through, and that was that.
Boy, that took me over 90 minutes to write up. I guess there are worse ways to spend one's mourning though.
