    Hi, In the hills. I’m doing well. How about yourself? Aside from Outlaw, because we never really got to work together much at all during the course of the game, I would say that I considered Zoa my closest ally with RAD being a close second because I had been talking with him since Day 1. I knew...

    I'm going to answer this both on the forum as well as in the discord server. Thank you, RAD. I agree that there weren't many scenarios where I wasn't going to be sitting at a disadvantage with the jury. To make my FTC odds stronger, I spoke with some of the other players about the position I...

    Unfortunately not. One big problem that arose was there were relationships that weren't common knowledge. I had no idea how close Eli/Whydon were until late into the game. I found out about the Clouds/Hills relationship around F14/13 (even though I had been on Finance with them earlier in the...

    Oh, boy. :grimacing: Drookez - Out of the 3 of us sitting here, I felt Drookez had the easiest route to get to the end starting from the merge. I had no idea the extent to how long SSR (one of my closest allies) and Drookez had known each other. If I had known, I probably would have made...

    Alright. So I'm going to interpret this why as something similar to "why didn't we work together during this game?" When we got to the merge, I considered working with you in some capacity. Being left out of the vote at F13 caused me to want to stick with the people I had more trust in before...

    I would say that one of the ways I combatted this disadvantage was by spending more time trying to convince people, when necessary, that I wouldn't ever flip on them. Whether this be when they voted against me or even if it was when the number of players was dwindling down. Although I didn't...

    I think I did a great job of getting people to trust me as well as getting them to want to work with me. I feel that I had to work much harder than Clouds/Drookez in that area of the game because I was playing with people who I was unfamiliar with. I mentioned in my opening speech that I could...

    The answer to this for me is that Outlaw is someone I knew I could trust and rely on solely because he is my best friend on discord. I don't think this diminishes my placement because I didn't really get to work with him. I was on Governance with him, but we only went to tribal once. Inferno was...

    1) When Whydon was coming up as a potential name at the Final 10 vote, I was going around to Clouds, Drookez, and SSR discussing that fact that Eli/Whydon/Ayia were a tight trio and they'd always vote together. However, I can't confirm how much of an impact this had on the decision because SSR...

    1) I think a winner of such a long game needs to be able to create long-lasting relationships quickly while remaining under-the-radar in terms of strategy. This was the ultimate social game because there were so many pre-existing relationships to navigate while still attempting to vote out the...

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only thing I may have missed is the statement about the jury believing I used emotional manipulation. This does come as a surprise to me. It definitely wasn't my intention to come across this way, so I apologize that I did come across that way...

    I never threatened to end my out-of-game friendship because Clouds didn't vote with me. He can confirm that I was very upset at the way he handled speaking to me about the Outlaw vote. If I was threatening to end friendships over people not voting with me, I wouldn't consider Andy, Ayia, In the...
