Hey guys!
I’m just going to start off by saying congratulations regardless of how I feel about you all as individuals and the way I perceive your gameplay. Everyone in this game was a threat in one way or another, and even if I don’t respect the way you played the game, I commend you for beating such a strong group of players. That being said, you all started the game as heroes, but only one of you maintained any noticeable strain of integrity.
I’ll start with Ikah,
I do respect how determined you were to win this game, you definitely came across as a gamebot. It doesn’t feel like you understand that everyone else in this game is a person instead of a chess piece. I don’t feel like you deserve my vote if I don’t feel like a person to you. I understand why you made the moves and I think you played fairly well, but I felt like you didn’t even do anything until Jabbar went home.
Convince me that you were playing the game from the start and that you actually connected with people in this game. Convince me that you were a hero because to me it seems like you played incredibly selfishly. I do respect you, but I don’t like your ego. It is incredibly disrespectful to trash the other finalists when you would not have made it this far without their help.
Max,
I’m gonna be honest. Heading into FTC, I had no intention of voting for you, but after reading your comments and the comments defending your gameplay, I can see you as more than just a floater. You had no clear allegiance while I was in the game, but you never lied to me and I did see examples of the gameplay you described even if they seem small.
Indecision and lack of allegiance can be a weakness, but it was your strength. Because you were a possible number in the eyes of everyone, they kept you around. Quiet but social gameplay is what got you here, but I don’t know if it was strategy or if you just didn’t do much that made you a threat.
If I give you my vote, I want it to be because I feel like you deserve to win, not just that you’re just the best option. Prove that you were playing and weren’t just dragged or lucky.I do have respect for the game you played, I just need to be sure that you played the way that you claim.
I appreciate that you maintained integrity throughout most of this game. I tried to keep lying to a minimum in this game, and I respect that you did the same.
Silver,
From the beginning, everyone told me that you were a snake. They approached me to vote you out on multiple occasions. I should’ve done it. But instead I stood up for you. I told people that you were trustworthy. I turned my back on someone that I genuinely like to protect you.
You betrayed my trust and all you could say was that it seemed like the best move. Yes, voting me off weakened my allies, but in what world is it smart to vote out someone that had your back against their best interest over someone that threw you under the bus to save his own ass like 2 days before? I’m not the only one that feels like you flipped on me for no logical reason. It got you here, but it certainly didn’t get you any respect.
I thought that you were a genuinely kind person, but really you only care about yourself. It’d be one thing if your selfishness formed a coherent strategy, but I see little evidence of that. If you played a more loyal game, some people here would probably still see you as a goat, but loyal goats can win, so I guess you blew that opportunity
The only way you have a chance to get my vote is if you:
1. Justify your actions without any bullshitting
2. Convince me that you didn’t only make it this far because everyone saw you as an easy beat in the end.
3. Don’t apologize to me unless you can do it genuinely
One last thing:
Don’t ever pretend to be my friend or call me your twin again. My twin brother would never discard me the way you did. I wish you good luck in life because if that’s how you treat people that have your back, you’re definitely gonna need it.
Sorry for the essay, but I just wanna say that even though it was stressful, I’m really glad I got this opportunity to play with you all.
