I know this ranking won't really have a broad audience, but this is just self-indulgence for myself and the people listed in this short ranking thread. ^_^

Colleen (ColleenLover) Stranded All Stars

When Joel (RR) didn't show up from Bolivia (because he's such a punk), I knew I was in toruble, because we had successfully outplayed everyone else on the tribe during the first Stranded. I knew Greg and Gretch would still be bitter, but it was a surprise that Kelly would clique up with them so quick. Luckily for me, Colleen was Joel's replacement. Before then, I had played with her once in Malaysia, and only for a limited time. Back then, I was against her. Since then, we were friends through Edgic.

Colleen, as I'm sure many in the ORG world knows, is famous. She's like a celebrity, known for being an underdog in many of her games and outmaneuvering others. A socialite with as much popularity as herself surely deserved to be an All Stars. Unfortunately, there's stil lcontroversy over whether or not someone not involved in the Stranded Series should have participated, but that's another story.

The point is, that Colleen and I immediately aligned together and we had something that was amazing. We went through every strategy and analysis possible. We were hoenst with each other. We believed in each other, and we believed in our Bolivia Tribe. She helped me to realize that I should leave Bolivia politics back in Bolivia where it ended. I promised her Ft and my undying loyalty. We were such an OTTPP pairing... until we were both blindsided by Gretch/Greg/Kelly and I was booted.

I came back not as UTRP Rudy, but as evil grudge-holding Rudy. More options came into the picture like Melinda and Misty and courtney, and I put Colleen sort of on the backburner. She was still there for me, but I was a different character after returning to the game in a twist. I had no more loyalties and I went on a path of destruction. F8 came around, and Courtney wanted to punish Colleen for her outlandish promise to "step aside" for Courtney, and the biggest betrayal in Stranded history happened. She was extremely bitter, but that's ok, because during the game, we were golden. It was an honor playing with someone that was SUCH a big threat, SUCH a historic player, and SUCH a genuinely nice person! <3333

#9 Clue probably a giveaway

Before going to sleep, I just want to announce...

HONOURABLE MENTION #2
Lanky Kong (Survivaholic) Big Brother: Bowser's Castle

As Wrinkly Kong's replacement, I had a unique position. I was coming into a game where alliances were already made and expectations of Wrinkly were going to have to be revamped. Old Wrinkly Kong was under the thumb of Cranky, but when I came into the picture, there would be none of that. I remained loyal, but looked for other options, which is when I found Lanky. Lanky and I worked together, comparing notes here and there. The boots were predictable, but there was tons of shadiness going on with who voted for who, especially after I strong-armed the 4-3 Diddy Kong vote.

After being nominated by who I thought was my closest ally, Cranky, things changed for the best, and Lanky and I both put the pieces together and realized Cranky had a deal with every single monkey there. Luckily, I was popular enough (and Swanky unpopular enough) to survive the vote 5-1, but when I got the HoH next round and nominated Cranky with a vicious speech, the game turned ugly. Lanky and I became partners in crime after that.

It was fun plotting and scheming with him, because he was fun and amiable, if not a little too cruel sometimes. It was sort of whack to see myself get booted due to a weak ass nomination from our other ally, Kiddy, who refused to nominate an obvious pair. I was booted when the un-nominated partner won veto and I was forced on the block and then booted by the two. The fact that Lanky cosigned Kiddy's nominations made me realize he didn't have my back as much as I had his, but nonetheless, I had a lot of fun busting up Cranky Kong's devious game and showing that even strong competitors like DK/Candy/Cranky can be defeated when you turn them against each other (similar to the Friendship out-manuevering the stronger Sovs) and use superb strategy combined with crucial wins.

OK, really, #9 up next tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm talking about the ASS, which wasn't Malaysia. I forget what it was called. Maybe just All Stars? lol

Poody did do a Malaysia fanfic that was open to Sucks...but that turned out bad. lol

I'm pretty sure cl is a chick last time I remembered. You never can tell these days. lol

Anyway, cl is amazing. One of my favorite posters at sucks of all time! <3 It was great playing with her, once against her and once side-by-side. There's no doubt in my mind that had she gotten past F8 it would have gotten infinitely harder for anyone to oust her, especially considering I might have felt a bit more guilty if it was near the end of the game and our goal of F2 was in near sight.

Shane (Packersfan) Stranded Allstars

Another All Stars ally bites the dust. Shane and I had a VERY complex relationship that I often think about and appreciate. I hosted Stranded Aruba, and he became one of my fav characters. He was apart of the evil Caquetios alliance that would eventually meet its downfall in a downright Ulonging/Pagonging. It was like destiny. Go read the fanfic, it's amazing.

Anyway, going into Allstars, I knew Shane was someone that would be loyal to a fault if he liked you enough. I appreciate those type of players. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble again. We met during the merge where my BNB (Bad News Bears) tribe had a 6-5 leverage. Just like in Australia, a semi-controlled pagonging would take place, because 1) Christa hated her tribe and 2) I was on a rampage against Gretch's allies Kelly/Greg and would stop at nothing before they were booted and Shane knew this. There was no way anyone not from the BNB would control the game, because even Christa's own HII was used for the purpose of furthering others' games (Melinda/Rudy/Courtney) courtesy of Rudy. lol

He knew right off the bat that I was controlling things, so we imemdiately clicked up and he followed most of my orders, even when it called for him voting out of majority. In fact, he only voted for majority three times: against Colleen, against Christa, and against me. Shane did everything I asked of him because he knew I had him down for the end-game. Yeah, he was poking around trying to find out ways to backstab me, but we had this connection where we both knew we sort of needed each other, and it worked out for the best, at least for him.

When F4 came along, it was time to get rid of Shane. This was his time to exit. I had carried him this far and he had followed my orders long enough. We lied to each other with straight faces yet knew we were both voting against each other. No matter what. The only vote at F4 that matter was the immunity wielder and that was neither Shane or Rudy so Courtney decided the vote and booted me.

Shane was fun to talk to, fun to order around, and fun to play with. He sucked up to me for as long as he had to, then plunged the knife in my back as soon as I tried to do the same to him. As someone who knew he would never have much influence post-merge, he played the type of game I'd probably play as well and I respect him for that. His 2nd place is well-deserved. Aligning with Shane was fun, and our fierce final four showdown was epic! Shane <33

Shane seething HATRED! <3 <3 <3

LOL is confused by "HATRED" and "<3 <3 <3" all on the same line.

Anyway, I love packersfan. We always talk about baseball on aim! And no, I don't think he posts anymore. He kinda fell of the face of the earth and doesn't even get on aim that much anymore! : {

And if shane is the reason why you were booted, that BOOO! HAd you made the merge, we would have kicked butt.

Very very true TMG, which is why I was so pissed at Ryan for being a rat. I looked at Colleen as a very dangerous player. she had been by my side for a long time, and I knew she had information that could wreck my game. She was such a savvy social player that if she knew too far ahead of time that she was getting the axe, she'd be able to turn it around.

Unfortunately, right when Colleen found out, she sorta just wimpered her way to get her torch snuffed then became bitter over the whole thing.
