RoBBBBBB's request

If people were to ask me, "Hey, what's your favorite type of challenge in ORGs?"

I'd always say "Creative Challenges"

Now, I know I haven't been the most active juror, and I most certainly had almost no impact on the game, but I'd like to put my own little test for my jury vote.

The name of this challenge is "Early Christmas" (Just roll with it, I'm making this up on the spot.)

While I myself never did it, children used to write letters to Santa, right?

So that's what you'll be doing.

Quickly write a letter to Santa, stating the good deeds you've done this game. Can't be naughty or you won't get any gifts.

Oh, and you have a time limit.

I'll be out of town from Wednesday until likely past the voting period... so I'll be voting late Tuesday/Early Wednesday, so try and have your letter complete before then.

The player with the better letter (based on criteria I'll be keeping to myself), will receive my vote.

Savvy?

Dear Santa Robby ,

I deserve your vote tonight because I played really hard even since the beginning of this game . When we were in tribes I always helped my tribe mates 100 percent in challenges and I make sure I had a good social game with them . Being social in a game is always really important because that helps you a lot . I got the time to know all my tribe mates and I was able to had an alliance with them . In the merge I dominated a lot because I won a lot of challenges and I was able to eliminate a lot of the big threats from here . Those threats where Chelsea , Todd , Keith , Whitney . I blindsided pretty much all of them , but Whitney , because at that time she already knew she was the target . I don't regret none of the moves i made because thanks to those move i am sitting right now in the end . Survivor is about outwit , outplay and outlast and i feel that i did that . Thanks Santa I hope you reward me for being a good girl player .

Blindsides are naughty, but so is not participating. It should be pretty clear who I'm voting.

Dear Santa,

In this game I have been a very good player. Coming into this game, being the oldest player; I always knew from the beginning that it is pivotal for me to be socially good and I did just that. I never single out any player that I've met in this game and I always tried my best to adapt myself to their characteristics just for me to blend in. Though I've faced a lot of challenges due to personalities conflict, but I never gave up in getting to know each one of them. When we were in separate tribes, I never failed to contribute in the success of my tribe winning immunity each time. In the merge, I knew that there is no way for me to go against strong competitor in challenges, thus I took a step back and choose a different path. Instead of winning challenges, I dominated a lot because of my social skills and my strategic thinking. I managed to connect with everyone at merge. Knowing what everyone else is thinking and what is going to happen really gave me an advantage. Because of me, a lot of surprising moves are made possible. I'm the one who initiate the "OLDIES ALLIANCE". Knowing that myself and Tracy might be the 4th and 5th wheels of original FAKAOFO, I've decided to form a core alliance of 3 with 3 of the eldest players in this game which are myself, Sylvia and Tracy. I was also the one who convinced Todd to work with us without him knowing that there is a secret "OLDIES ALLIANCE" going on and that he is the black sheep. Without this alliance, I don't think that myself or even Tracy will make it to the end. Thank you santa, I hope you'll vote for me not because I did not participate in challenges at merge but because I choose a different path to get myself to the end. I've proven that in this game winning immunity is not everything and a 86 years old boy could survive, as much as the others or even better.

Sincerely.
Rudy
