Hello, my name is Amaterasu. I am honored to be here and I did not expect to get this far.
I'll try to make this speech as truthful and fully detailed as possible, if you have any questions, please do ask.
I got my God Name by random. I did not pick it, but now I'm so bonded to it, as if I was the one who chose the name.
Firstly I got into Vanaheim. I had to get used to the Forums first, because I never used forums like these before, so first few moments I was slightly inactive.
When I understood everything, I started talking to some of the Vanaheim people. Well, they were the ones who started the chats with me, I just started actually responding.
I saw my Clanmates - Typhon and Fenrir. We immediatly agreed to keep this clan secret and have it as a hidden alliance.
At first everything was smooth, Vanaheim was winning and we just chilled. I was worrying about Typhon, as he was saying that his situation in Utgard was pretty intense.
This led me to trying to throw a challenge just to keep Typhon safer - during the puzzle challenge. I didn't have motivation to solve the puzzle anyway, I just gave my puzzle pieces and was done with it.
I knew it would be fine to throw because at the time I was a part of a 4p alliance - Dionysus, Izanami, me and Pele.
After that, Zeus got accidentally added to the chat. This will be slightly important later.
We won that challenge anyway, so my plan failed. I was still happy to not go to Tribal Council though.
Then we actually lost a challenge, so we just eliminated Hecate - the person who wasn't in our "5p but actually 4p" alliance.
After this, I became an Olympian, along with Fenrir and Typhon!
I was very happy to be with my clanmates in the same tribe, because I knew we'd start controlling the vote after 1 person is out.
We also got Pele and Zeus from Vanaheim and Aeolus and Anubis from Asgard. I was already teammates with Pele, so I had her trust. Zeus I haven't tried to contact, alongside Aeolus and Anubis.
Then we got to the first Tribal Council, and we got rid of Aeolus because he was AFK.
Then we got to the second Tribal Council, and this is when the Auction happened. I invested all my money on the Helm, which could be bought by both teams, Typhon invested into the Olympian part, and Fenrir gave Typhon 1 coin and me 499 coins. This way, we got both of the Idol pieces.
Pele got the Library and I felt like she was starting to control the game - the first Tribal Council we first wanted to get rid of Anubis because he was AFK too, but then Pele told us "No, vote Aeolus, not Anubis! He's active now!". I didn't want to keep a player like this post-merge, so I asked my clanmates if we should eliminate her, and everybody agreed.
This way we saved Zeus, who was Pele's elimination target.
This is when Zeus started to become our 4th teammate - he got our trust after we saved him from Pele.
Then we lost, again... And eliminated Anubis.
And then the Merge happened.
I feel very guilty about this part of the game.
Very. Guilty.
Remember that big alliance in Vanaheim? I was naive enough to think "Hey, maybe Dio and Izanami are up to being teammates again? We'll secure a 6p and have majority in the tribe!"
Dio told us that Heimdall is the big evil in this game who is trying to eliminate all the Olympians, but as far as I know, he got tricked into thinking so by Chronos? Or Erebus? Not sure.
I believed the story and made a chat called "6p alliance against the evil team Heimdall.". Yup. Very ironic, considering what will happen next. So I vote Heimdall and expect him to get voted out by our 6p.
AND THEN TYPHON GOT VOTED OUT. (and got the idol part from Typhon, I assume. I got an idol at that time, but wasn't sure if it was from Exile or Typhon)
He had high doubts about this big alliance and didn't trust Dio and Izanami. So he decided to tell Heimdall, his old tribe teammate, what was going on. And appareantly the word somehow spread and Dio and Iza thought Typhon was a snitch.
This started the downfall of that alliance. I knew it wouldn't work and started distancing from it.
Then I won Exile by forgetting to do the challenge. Those were some boring 24 hours, I'll admit.
And somehow Zeus got eliminated??? I still don't know the full story on this.
Around this time Heimdall wrote to me because he was bored.
Imagine this - one person getting bored changed the whole game.
At that point, Heimdall was still a "Destroy all Olympians!" killing machine, so I talked to him about non-game related stuff only.
So, the 24 hours were up, and I knew I had to do something to keep me and Fenrir alive. This started the "Last Hope" alliance, consisting of me, Fenrir, Heimdall, Loki and Izanami.
This alliance was basically 2 underdog duos combining. At first the alliance was a 4p. The amount of players was 9, so we desperately needed a 5th player.
So Heimdall recommended Izanami because all the other options were bad.
I still had insanely high doubts after the failed 6p alliance. I didn't want to get Fenrir killed too, and myself in the process. I started having trust issues, but I knew there is no backing out out of this.
So I rolled with it.
BOY did it pay back well.
First thing we did was get rid of Erebus, because from Heimdall's and Loki's words, he was stacked on double votes and was a threat. Me and Fenrir didn't have contact with him anyway, so we just got rid of him before he could use his double vote to his advantage.
The voting phase did show that Erebus had a double vote, so I started trusting Heimdall more.
Next we were preparing to vote out Chronos (or maybe Osiris, I don't remember), but then Chronos messaged me and Heimdall about Dio/Loki/Izanami being close.
Heimdall said that Loki was indeed quiet and that was unusual, so we should vote him out because he also has an idol from the Pyramid. I was weirded out by this - why does Heimdall want to get rid of his teammate so quickly? Is this a bait?
We settled on voting out Dio and wrote it in the Last Hope alliance. And then Dio told me and Izanami in a separate chat that he has the idol now, about 2-3 hours before TC end.
I started panicking and immediatly asked a lot of people to switch to Loki, because this pretty much confirmed Loki and Dio being close.
Because of this, me, Fenrir and Heimdall started getting slightly worried about Izanami, but we knew how to test her loyalty.
Voting out Loki wasn't a big deal - without him the alliance would still stay as a majority (4v3)
In the Last Hope alliance chat I wrote that we're voting out Osiris and secretly we were voting Loki.
The idol was played on Osiris.
Dio was MAD. Well, not angry, but he definetely seemed very annoyed by us voting out Loki and not Heimdall. He told me and Izanami there is no way we win this now.
Then we voted out Chronos, because Osiris had immunity. He helped us find out about Dio and Loki, but it was time for him to go.
Oh, and remember me having the idol? I used in on Heimdall, to gain his trust. Before this I never told him I had an idol, so I was scared he'd accuse me of lying to him previously, but after talking to Fenrir we concluded that I should still use it and tell Heimdall.
He loved it. He surely trusted me now.
The next voting phase is when we tested Izanami's loyalty - we checked if she would vote Dio with us.
And yes, she did. We knew we could trust Izanami now.
-The next part of this story I feel guilty about, too. But the game rules state "You must try to win."-
The people who were left:
me, Heimdall, Izanami, Fenrir and Osiris.
At this point it was pretty obvious that either me or Heimdall is getting chosen in F3. No offense to the other three, but you weren't really vocal and eventful enough for the jurors probably.
So I knew that to maximize my chances of winning I had to get rid of Heimdall.
At this point our alliance chat was about 20 pages. It felt terrible going against him.
Now, I wanted to vote him out during TC 13. But, if he was voted out, I was scared that Fenrir, Izanami and Osiris would gang up on me to maximize their chances of winning. So we voted out Osiris.
So the Big 4 from the Last Hope alliance was left.
I made an alliance chat called "F3." including Fenrir and Izanami.
I incentivized them to try to win the challenge as hard as possible.
...And then I did the worst out of everyone. Such a noob, lol.
And Heimdall won immunity. That ruined my plan, but I wasn't that sad or annoyed by it. He was my friend. It felt awful going against him anyway, so it was fine.
I had to vote out Izanami, sadly. She was always not trusted fully by us when she was always on our side and voting with us. So it felt terrible, but I didn't want to get rid of my game-long partner Fenrir. I had no choice.
And finally, I have an imgur album containing all the memes I made related to this game:
