S2: Camp Chimble

**S2: Camp Chimble** was the second season of the Chimble's Game. This season featured teams for the first six rounds, and there were was two Golden Chimble's, one Silver Chimble, and a Double Vote. Yerboi won the season in a 4-3 vote.

## Round Recaps

### **S2R1 - "I came to play not unionise"** (Austyn)

The first round of this season started off rather weirdly. Instead of a safety competition, it was announced players would be competing in teams. And to decide the team leaders, the players would be playing Rotary Selection. Quickly, Bandit formed a union to combat this, declaring that anyone who used the picking channel would be the first to go. Austyn decided to openly defy the union, and thus became their biggest target. In retaliation and fear of Austyn getting power, the union decided to mess with the leader selections until Nylo, Max, and Yerboi ended up becoming the team leaders. Bandit also makes an alliance of themself, Mina, Yerboi, and Mello as the main union representatives.

The first real challenge of this season was Chimble's Game again, and since Waco was not able to complete it he was replaced by Fridge. During the challenge, Austyn decided to go to every player and just repeat "I want to know what your doing for challenge", and it worked. Austyn won the challenge easily, and the Apples were up for elimination.

Fridge was the easy elimination for the Apples team as he joined late in replacing Waco, and the rest of the Apples had already bonded. Fridge is eliminated in 15th place in a 5-2 vote, with him and the Slugs voting for Bandit.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Yerboi, Illy, Austyn

### **S2R2 - "Fuck the union stuff tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh"** (Max)

In the second challenge of the season, Bandit was able to take home safety, which was made easier by both Mina and Serpy abstaining, hurting both of their teams. The Slugs end up losing the challenge by a margin of almost a minute.

During the voting period, Mello searches for a long time and is able to find the Golden Chimble, but tells the Union Reps that he hasn't found it and that they should search for it. Serpy is the apparent vote for most as he just abstained from the challenge. Austyn heavily pushes for Serpy and Bandit decides to extend their union power by publicly deciding in player chat that players should vote out Serpy. However, Max and Illy are unhappy with the union, and decide to push for Luke.D and are able to get Monopoly Man only to join them.

Serpy self votes out of inactivity and is eliminated in 14th place in another 5-2 vote.

**Top Contenders:** Mello, Bandit, Yerboi, Austyn

### **S2R3 - "i'm voting for mina. i'm voting for mina."** (Mina)

The challenge for this round was Bomb Defusal, and Bandit was able to win their second challenge in a row! They gave their extra two rounds of safety to Yerboi, but they both would've been safe anyway as it was the Frogs that were in danger this vote.

During the vote, Mina decided they weren't enjoying playing anymore, and asked the other players to vote them out, most likely saving Nylo from elimination. The other players followed Mina's direction, and voted to eliminate them, but Bandit and Monopoly Man couldn't bring themselves to do it and voted Space instead.

Mina was eliminated in 13th place in a 6-1 vote with only Space receiving another vote.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Yerboi, Illy

### **S2R4 - “Since when did playing badly make you a target?”** (Max)

This round started off, not with a challenge, but a team swap. The Apples were dissolved, and every player was put into new teams. The new teams were Space, Gar, snoot, Luke.D, Yerboi, and Mello on the Furious Frogs. And Max, Monopoly Man, Bandit, Austyn, Nylo and Illy on the Sinister Slugs. Most of the passionate union members were on the Frogs, but Bandit, their leader was left with just Monopoly Man on the Slugs.

The challenge was announced to be Food Fight, and Bandit immediately started campaigning to not allow anybody to deflect. The union decided that if any player were to deflect the first round, they would be targeted the second. Space deflected the first round, and cemented himself as a target of the union, Space also failed to submit in the last round of the challenge, leading to snoot winning the three rounds of safety, with the Slugs being in danger this round.

In the slugs team, Bandit had made the "slunion" alliance, consisting of every slug team member except for Austyn. However, Max and Illy didn't want Austyn to go, all three of them hated the union.  They couldn't go for Bandit, the biggest threat in the union, but they knew Bandit and Monopoly Man were working together. Max and Illy went to Nylo and Austyn, convincing both of them to vote Monopoly Man. Only six votes were cast as the Frogs could not come to a conclusion between Austyn and Max.

Monopoly Man was eliminated in 12th place a vote of 4-2 with Austyn receiving two votes.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Max, Illy

### **S2R5 - “anyone feel like talkin about it”** (Bandit)

Before the challenge phase ended, some important conversations happened. Illy unsuccessfully tried to convince Bandit that she voted for Monopoly Man out of sympathy for Austyn, believing Austyn would go anyway. And Mello told Bandit and Yerboi that he has the Golden Chimble.

The challenge for this round was Tax Trials, which snoot won, winning his second challenge in a row. He gave his extra two rounds of safety to Yerboi, who would've been safe anyways as the Slugs lost once again.

Bandit would be the obvious vote out on the Slugs, as their only ally there was just voted out the round before, but Bandit still had safety. Austyn was instead the obvious vote, as he put a target on himself the first round by defying the union and has stuck with it since. During the voting period, Mello and Max talked about how much Max disliked the union, and Mello told Max that Bandit had the GC.

The vote ended up 5-1, with Austyn being eliminated in 11th place over Nylo.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Illy, Max

### **S2R6 - "chimble is driving me fucking insane"** (Mello)

The challenge for this round was Chimble's Auction, where players could bid on advantages to help them in the game. The Frogs knew that the Slugs needed Safety and would bid alot to get it, so the Frogs team decided to collectively abstain from bidding on Team Safety. The Slugs won Team Safety, while Luke.D won Individual Safety. Illy and Space both won hints to the newly hidden GC. Snoot got a Silver Chimble while Bandit got a covered Double Vote, and finally, Mello got a covered advantage in the next challenge.

Illy and Mello both searched hard for the GC, but Illy's clue led to her finding it first. During the vote, only Space, Gar, and Mello could be voted for. Most of the Slugs wanted Gar to be voted out, along with Mello. Gar and Yerboi both wanted Space out, while Luke.D and snoot pushed for Mello.

Space would've been voted out in 10th place in a vote of 3-2-2 over Mello and Gar, but was instead ejected for failing to vote a third time.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Illy, Max

### **S2R7 - "sometimes i feel like walter white killing a fly...."** (Bandit)

This round started with every team dissolving and all safety being revoked, as it is the start of cycle 2.

This round's challenge was Storage Wars, and Mello was given an extra 100 points from the auction, which lead to him winning the challenge.

During the challenge, Illy also told Max that she had the Golden Chimble, knowing he wouldn't tell anyone. Gar seemed like the main target for the vote, due to his inactivity in previous rounds. However, Bandit, Yerboi, and Mello wanted Max out, as they knew from Mello talking to him that he disliked the union and wanted Bandit out soon. They tried to recruit Luke.D and snoot, but they both stuck with voting Gar.

In a 5-3-1 vote, Gar was eliminated in 9th place.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Illy, Yerboi

### **S2R8 - "completely failed in every sense of the word"** (Illy)

This round's challenge was Know Your Worth, and Nylo won safety for the next two rounds.

During the vote, Illy and Max both believed that a tight group of Yerboi, Luke.D, and snoot were the three that voted Max the round before. They brought in Bandit and made a plan to make snoot believe he was being voted out, when in reality it was Luke.D. This was done to prevent snoot's Silver Chimble from messing up the plan and hopefully flushing the Silver Chimble at the same time. However, Bandit preferred that Luke.D stayed over Max, and while they were encouraging Max and Illy to go through with it, they were also secretly spreading the details to the Sliced Onions (Bandit, Yerboi, and Mello). The Sliced Onions decided to tell pretty much everybody but Max, Illy, and Nylo about their secret plan.

In a 5-3 vote, Max was eliminated in 8th place over Luke.D.

**Top Contenders:** Bandit, Mello, Yerboi

### **S2R9 - "i didnt want it to come to this but oh well"** (Yerboi)

The challenge for this round was Battleship, which took a lot longer than the hosts thought it would. Illy was able to win the two rounds of safety by gathering everybody's ship placements, saving her from a risky vote.

The Sliced Onions (Bandit, Yerboi, and Mello) had become aware that Illy wanted to vote Yerboi, and the Sliced Onions thought they could convince the other players to vote Yerboi aswell, while they put Mello's GC on him, and blindsiding Luke.D. However, Yerboi was working with Luke.D and snoot aswell, and knew Bandit was a threat. Yerboi snitched to both Luke.D and snoot, causing the three to switch their votes to Bandit, Mello's closest ally.

In a vote of ~~3~~-3-1, Bandit was blindsided and eliminated in 7th place.

**Top Contenders:** Yerboi, Illy, Luke.D

### **S2R10 - "alright here's my extremely dumbass move"** (Mello)

The challenge for this round was Target Practice, and Illy won her second challenge in a row. She gifted her safety to Nylo, giving him his third round of safety in a row.

With no clear vote, players started to scramble. Illy revealed to Mello that she'd found the hidden GC, and came up with an incredibly convoluted plan that I can't even figure out in which Yerboi or snoot would be eliminated. Mello himself unsuccessfully tried to convince Illy that Bandit played Mello's GC on themself and that Illy should give here GC to him. Though Illy's plan was terribly executed, one of Yerboi, snoot, Luke.D, and Mello still had to go. Luke.D saw longevity in Yerboi and snoot's alliance, and offered himself to be eliminated. snoot had to play his Silver Chimble as it was expiring and played it on himself, and Illy played it on Mello in hopes of her plan being successful. It wasn't.

in a 3-2-~~1~~ vote, Luke.D was eliminated in 6th place, with Yerboi and snoot respectively receiving the other votes.

**Top Contenders:** Mello, Yerboi, snoot

### **S2R11 - "I don't really get the appeal of groping boobs"** (Nylo)

The challenge for this round was Where's Chimble, and Yerboi won, ending Illy's win streak.

With both Illy and Nylo losing their safety in the beginning of a new cycle, both were on the bottom. Yerboi, snoot, and Mello all being unified, made an alliance called "COIMAM", and decided it'd be best to take out Illy first. Illy and Nylo banded together to vote snoot, but Mello lied about voting for him and instead stuck with COIMAM.

In a vote of 3-2, Illy is eliminated in 5th place.

**Top Contenders:** Yerboi, Mello, snoot

### **S2R12 - "if nylo wins we're fucked"** (Mello)

The challenge for this round was Memory Web, and Nylo won using a detailed spreadsheet, surprising the other players of his dedication.

Nylo winning forced COIMAM against each other, and Yerboi and snoot's final 2 plans put Mello in a dangerous situation. Nylo initially planned to vote snoot along with Mello, but eventually changed his vote.

In a 3-1 vote, Mello was eliminated in 4th place.

### **S2R13 - "snoot's coming with me to the finale"** (Yerboi)

The final challenge was The Gauntlet, combining all the past challenges of the season, Yerboi won his second challenge in a row with a 7 minute difference.

He quickly decided on voting Nylo, as snoot was by far a closer ally of his.

In a vote of 2-1, Nylo was eliminated in 3rd place.

### **S2R14 - "what's about to happen has been my dream since i started orgs"** (Yerboi)

This round was the jury vote, only 2 players remained, Yerboi and snoot. Both aligned with one another since the beginning of the game. Both did not care much about the jury vote, their main goal of making it there together already accomplished. Some vote Yerboi for his domineering gameplay, and some vote for snoot because it would be funny if he won.

Yerboi is crowned the winner of Camp Chimble in a 4-3 vote.

### Worst Moves

**Austyn Defies The Union -** The first round of the season, the union formed, dedicated to not participating in the first challenge. Pretty much everyone cooperated with the idea, except Austyn. This placed a target on him that went from the first round of the game until his elimination. Though he was able to save himself with an early challenge win, and tried to get back into the union, he only lasted one round without safety before he was eliminated.

**Nylo Seals His Own Fate -** It was the final four, with Nylo's safety keeping him from almost certain elimination. He now had a decision to make, eliminate snoot or Yerboi, a close final 2 wanting to make it to the end with each other, or he could eliminate Mello. Nylo chose Mello, which lead to Nylo having almost no chance at going to the final 2 unless he could win the F3 challenge, which he wasn't able to do.

**Illy's Hat Trick -** Illy was not in that bad of a position going into the second cycle, she had allies in Nylo and Max and a GC. However, this all fell apart. A not so well kept Luke.D blindside plan led to her closest ally Max getting eliminated. Next round, another one of Illy's closest allies, Bandit, got eliminated aswell. And the third round after that, Illy had a very convoluted plan where she ended up negating no votes with her GC, and if she had voted her target, Yerboi, the vote would've tied, but instead Luke.D went. Illy was then eliminated the round after all of this and if she had saved her GC, she could've stayed.

### Best Moves

**Bandit Blindsides -** It was the final 8, and both Illy and Max had come to Bandit with a plan. It would both worry snoot into playing his Silver Chimble, and blindside Luke.D at the same time. Bandit encouraged their plans, giving them the confidence to go through with it. However, Bandit had also been copy pasting these conversations to half of the players left in the game, and with Illy and Max being especially outgoing with it, it was easy to gather the votes for Max to be eliminated. And with Illy left in the dark the following round, Bandit was able to convince her that they were really on her side and didn't want Max to go.

**Bandit's Blindside -** It was just the round after, and the Sliced Onions (Bandit, Yerboi, and Mello) seemed to be in a good spot. They knew Illy wanted to vote Yerboi, and thought they could convince the other players to vote Yerboi aswell, all the while playing Mello's GC on him and voting out Luke.D. Yerboi was also working with Luke.D and snoot though, and knew Bandit was a threat. So he decided to tell them about the plan, causing all three to switch their votes to Bandit and blindsiding them in a vote of ~~3~~-3-1.

### Top 4 Players of Camp Chimble

**4. Illy -** Illy had a flawed game this season, to say the least. But she did put a lot of effort in, and that showed. She was able to form a close alliance with Max, and find a Golden Chimble. She also worked with Max to get rid of Monopoly Man in the fourth round, and would've done the same to Bandit had they not won safety. She did flounder in her last couple rounds, but she never gave up and tried hard each round to keep herself in.

**3. Bandit -** Bandit played hard this season, they were able to control most of the first half of the game under the guise of the union. They were also able to win two challenges, keeping them safe in the two early rounds where they'd be in trouble. They also had alliances with almost everybody, and was able to convince Illy they were with her right after eliminating Illy's closest ally. Bandit had a lot of potential to make it to the end, and if it weren't for a botched Chimble play, I think they would've.

**2. Mello -** Mello wasn't the biggest force of strategy in this season, but was almost always able to keep himself in a good position. He was helping decide who went home in the Sliced Onions alliance, and was in the know on most of the votes. He also found the first Golden Chimble (though that didn't turn out that well). If he had won that final 4 challenge(which he kind of got screwed over on), I think he had a very good chance of being the winner of the season.

**1. Yerboi -** Yerboi played a great game this season, he was tied for most correct votes with snoot and was able to win two challenges aswell. He had tight alliances with Mello and Bandit, aswell as Luke.D and snoot, giving him two solid paths to the end. He recognized Bandit was one of his biggest threats and cut them off at the final 7. Along with a tight alliance with snoot, and Luke.D sacrificing himself, it wasn't a surprise he made it into the final 2 and won the jury vote.

### Co-Host Favorite

**Bandit -** Bandit was very fun to watch this season, and I think the entire co-host team was rooting for them. And though the union probably made the season a bit less exciting than it could've been, it was a good move.

## Trivia

* Yerboi and snoot, the final 2 of the season, both had 10 correct votes. Every time they voted together, the person they voted for was eliminated.
