Hi, Felix here to cast my final vote. I'm not sure how long I'm going to talk for but in the end I think I've come to a decision.

Shamir, I'm not voting for you. I knew before this started you'd have to blow me out of the water and the others would have to faceplant for me to vote for you. Your FTC works fine for those voting on game and game alone but it doesn't have the extra spice I needed for you to be a possibility.

Thea, your game is more mixed. It's clear you lacked control but definitely had a lot of social capital, you managed to survive being on the wrong side of the vote a lot, that's hard to do and a sequence I can admire. Furthermore, you were the only one of the final 3 to vote to keep me. However, there are a few areas of concern for me. First off, you did flip on the revote. Like the last message you have for me has me saying that I'd really appreciate going 5-3 here, that's me saying if you stick with me on the revote, I will give you my jury vote, because I value sticking with a lost cause (I think I did say something about admiring Dimitri sticking by Flayn, but that was to Edelgard). You didn't but that isn't disqualifying. Then I read your final speech where you said "I used idol clue information to establish friends and had the majority alliance with Lorenz/Petra/Raphael/Myself all while easily being able to replace any of them with Caspar. " I was on that tribe...I was still on that tribe after Dimitri mutinied, and there were 6 people there. Not only is this awfully presumptuous that that group would have just worked the vote (though it might have, you're at the end and I'm here) it also kind of implies I'm who you want dead if we don't win the challenge, and that kind of undos most of the goodwill you had coming into this FTC for me. Not just that you felt that, but you want to tout it as part of your strategic chops. Certainly not intentional, but being an afterthought has been an issue for me this game and that brought up the same feels again.

Edelgard, I was angry at times this FTC, almost all of them at you, I'm sure you couldn't tell . I was increasingly worried that the Edelgard I knew, who I liked was not the one who was speaking at FTC. Whether you had lost your way or just were never the person I wanted you to be certainly mattered a lot. Inconsistency matters a lot to me, even when there are multiple explanations. YOU EVEN CALLED ME SASUKE. It doesn't help I desperately wanted us to work together in more than a nominal way and just, neither of us went all in on that, you even voted me out and refused to consider flipping, though maybe the biggest issue in that lies in me.

Anyway, enough venting, I guess I should get to the important part.
