Hello! I understand the perception of me and it's completely warranted. I'll start off by saying I'm not naive or stupid, or outrageously over the top. So here is what was going on in Dixie Dix's mind: I wanted to play an under the radar game because it's something I've never done. My plan coming into the game was to pretend I had issues with "AOL" and seem like I'd be inactive - but then I'd message everyone enthusiastically and try and gain sympathy through PM. I used AIM a couple times for important conversations but other than that it's no secret I relied mostly by PM! It's a trip to me that I was able to do that and not only survive until the Jury phase, but to make it all the way until final 2. I think I was severely underestimated by everyone throughout the game, and because of that, the game was a lot of fun for me by acting the way I did.
It was evident I was strong in the challenges yet for some reason people kept me off the block --- probably thinking I was either on their side or was an easy beat at the end. I played the honest and loyal card a lot. Because I was underestimated and kept in the game so long, I was able to pull off the mask and win all the end game competitions and evict the game's biggest threat in Andrew. I never had to sweat because I was only nominated once, and never nominated at all post veto. So I will understand if you don't respect the way I chose to go about playing but I was experimenting and I enjoyed myself. The game was very stress free for me because of the tactic I played with, and I by far exceeded my expectations.
I definitely think of myself as an enigma in this game and maybe you will see myself as such too, and will take the time to look at my game.
