Title: Your confessional!
Post by: Fat Tony on November 05, 2020, 09:52:18 am
Welcome to your confessional. Please use it to keep us informed of what is happening in the game. 

If you have any money that needs to be laundered, please leave it outside the door and it will be ready in the morning. Hope you enjoy your stay.

How are you feeling about coming into the game late? Do you worry that being a replacement could make you an easy target? What are you first impressions of your new tribe?
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 05, 2020, 06:03:34 pm
A replacement could become an easy target, no doubt about it.  But I think given a day to make inroads I'll find a place here.

No one here stands out as a super dangerous or strong player yet.  To be expected given the casting paradigm of this game.  O-Ren is either a very good fibber or seriously has no knowledge of the Survivor format at all, and she would seem to be next on the chopping block.  But I am intrigued by her and would like to get her out of the hot seat and onto my side for the long game, if she can wrap her head around the fact that tribes don't last forever and she shouldn't be willing to let herself be voted out for failing to perform in challenges.

Do you have any awareness of what your predecessor was doing? Do you plan to capitalize or mitigate any of it, or are you playing this as if you just timetraveled to this point with a clean slate?
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 05, 2020, 06:40:25 pm
No one has told me much about what my predecessor was up to, and at any rate if I were them I wouldn't trust me to pick up where he left off.  I think I have to consider this a clean slate.

What are your thoughts on the tribe as a whole?
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 05, 2020, 07:04:47 pm
I stand corrected, evidently my predecessor the Don was into something with Capone, Meyer Lansky and Paulie Walnuts and I may be able to pick that thread up and continue it if I want.

Now, the only question is do I want that?
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 05, 2020, 09:33:22 pm
At least three people on this tribe let the moderators choose characters for them.  What the heck people choosing a good character is like three quarters of the fun.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 06, 2020, 11:25:29 am
Unofficially official alliance between me, Al Capone, Meyer Lansky and Paulie Walnuts.

Al and Meyer are described as our biggest challenge assets which is a threat come merge time.

I like Robster.  O-Ren is rough gem in need of polishing but I think she has a lot of potential.  Viola hasn't given me anything worth working with yet.  But I feel like at this stage I shouldn't upset the apple cart when I'm slotted into a majority alliance.

Even though I like two of the outsiders I think it's best for me to play along and let Al be the shot caller.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 06, 2020, 06:57:27 pm
Officially official alliance now, complete with a group PM.

Al is calling the shot on O-Ren.  Sorry darling, I hope you play again and take some of my advice into account.  This ain't Mafia.

Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 06, 2020, 07:35:15 pm
Something interesting I have learned is that Paulie and my predecessor the Don were involved in two competing alliances or proto-alliances.  One with Capone and Meyer (which we've consummated again) and one with Robster and Viola, which Don tattled on to Al.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 06, 2020, 09:45:51 pm
O-Ren just fundamentally does not understand Survivor.

You don't care if you get voted out?

I would be very sad to see you go already
No I dont particularly care. It's my first flash game so its more a learning experience in preparation for a win down the line

I think that in an ideal world Meyer and Al survive to the merge to be challenge threat early merge shields for me while slippery Paulie Walnuts gets capped during a swap.  I hope the other tribe has a new ally or two in waiting for me.

Interrogation Time with Snowman: Part Two!

Greetings [insert whoever you are here], it's time for another set of highly personalized questions that I've made just for you, and only you. I know you have so many things you'd rather be doing than answering my questions, but humour me a little, would you? Thank you ever so kindly.

1) How do you feel the game is going for you? Are you pleased with your progress? Are there things you think you need to be doing better? Are there things you're particularly proud of that you've achieved so far?

2) How are you finding the Protection Racket challenge? What are your thoughts on the mechanics of it? If it's not with you, where do you think it is? If you did have it, how would you plan on using it?

3) What is the funniest thing someone has said to you in this game? Do you have any really good PM titles? Who sparks the most joy for you?

4) If you had to design a tribal banner for your tribe, what would you include in it? If you want to make it, I wouldn't stop you, this is your confessional and your time to choose to do with what you will.

5) If you had to describe yourself or your gameplay as a natural disaster or weather phenomenon, what would you be and why?

Thank you dearly for your attention, I wish you a good [insert day of week and time of day here] and hope all is good in your life and game.

Interrogation Time with Snowman

Greetings [insert player name here], I'm sure you are so very busy with your plotting and scheming, but if you have just a second, I have some burning questions for you and we need your answers.

1) Do you have a personal goal or hope for this game? What are you here for: fun, winning, redemption, self-discovery? What should we watch your confessional space for?

2) Of the characters in the game, including your own, which are your top five favourites and why?

3) If you had to leave for an extended weekend and needed someone to watch your cat, which of your tribemates would you trust to at least think about checking in? Are you someone your tribemates could trust to watch their cats? Do you like cats?

4) Who do you most want to work with in this tribe? Who do you want to drop in the nearest firepit? Is there anybody you want to try to get closer to? Is there anybody you want to distance from?

5) What question should we ask you to get a better sense of you as a player? Ask yourself here and answer it.

Thank you for your time, I know you have challenges and PMs to attend to and your time is precious. I hope you appreciate these individualized questions that were not copy-pasted to everyone.

Thank you for your questions Snow!  I will answer them all tomorrow during this lovely challenge winning day off from tribal.

Paulie and I are bonding over cooking shows and I just got him to start MasterChef.  This is my first real social bonding of the game aside from O-Ren (RIP) who I shared Webtoon recommendations with.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 08, 2020, 08:05:36 pm
At this time my goal is to appear unthreatening and loyal without any conflicting interests.  I'm not pursuing anything strategic with Robster or Viola even though it opens me up to getting backstabbed if any of the other three in the Capone-led Cool Kids alliance decides to make a move with them.  I think I'll be valued as a reliable number who won't rock the boat and I'm not a big challenge threat so I wouldn't be a prime target for a betrayal here.  Hopefully that leaves me underestimated at swap or merge when I do need to make my own move.

1. I am here to win, for sure.  I'm having fun already.

2. Al, Meyer, Paulie, Carmine, Tommy.  Classic gangsters.  I'm particularly glad there are two old school historical gangsters represented.

3. I would watch all the cats.  No one is getting my cat away from me.

4. I'm in good with the top dogs here which is where I want to be.  Later in the game I'll need to distance from them and let them get hit by the bus.

5. Are you the most experienced player here?  Very likely!

1. I'm pleased that I was able to land in a majority immediately after replacing into the game.  That bodes well.

2. I have ignored it and will continue to do so, unless I'm using it to throw some stink on highly competent challenge players later in the event I need to convince people to keep a blindside quiet.

3. Our group PM is called "Alliance of Cool People" and it is not the least creative PM title I've gotten, so... I guess I'm partial to my PM from Meyer which is called "Bill, the Butcher, cutting"

4. Taking a rain check on this one, I might get back to you

5. Right now I am a newborn tropical wave.  Someday soon I'll be assigned an invest number before developing into a tropical depression.  If there's a swap I might get upgraded to a tropical storm.  By the merge I should be Hurricane Bill, and I'll continue to develop until I reach major category 5 status in time for the final tribal council.  Bada bing, bada boom.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 10, 2020, 07:15:57 am
Bonnano business...

Paulie Walnuts was quick to start a trio chat with me and Robster.  They both profess a desire to stick together.  I did too of course, but it remains to be seen if the former Lucchese will also be a solid three.  I am not interested in drawing rocks for anyone.

Crystal is the most social player I've met so far.  I'm going to get close to her and I hope she can be a big time social threat come merge.  I need challenge threats and social threats around so I can keep a low profile on all fronts.  All the challenge threats are on the other tribe and everyone here seems to realize we are underdogs in all the challenges for this tribal phase.  Hopefully it is only two eliminations until the merge.

Shady Shin and Vincent Vega are underwhelming thus far, but so was most of my old tribe.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 11, 2020, 11:16:05 am
Crystal and I are aligned and we are discussing the benefits of getting rid of people who have stronger connections on the former tribes.  That puts Paulie and apparently Vincent in our crosshairs.  She and I should be positioned as the swing in a hypothetical first vote for this tribe without anyone else realizing we are coordinating.

Shady Shin is trying to pressure me with the specter of Lucchese unity but I checked in with Crystal about that and she is just as lukewarm in the trio chat Shady started as I am with Paulie's Gambino chat.  Meanwhile Paulie told Crystal that he thinks they should have some kind of threesome with Robster because they are the most social three.  So on both sides Crystal and I are the players the others are trying to flip which means we are unlikely to be anybody's target to vote.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 11, 2020, 07:35:13 pm
Not knowing anything of the dynamic among the three Lucchese over there I would hazard a guess that Meyer and Al will dump Viola in this vote, but maybe the Lucchese will be playing the long game and take Viola in for a shot at one of the challenge threats instead.

Shady Shin is in trouble here, but Vincent Vega does not PM me at all.  Shin thinks his three Lucchese will stick together because he sees no reason to believe otherwise, but buddy has not been paying much attention.  Crystal is all up in the Gambino business at this point and Vincent has been whispering sweet nothing in Robster's ear.  They will both want to dump Shady to move forward with new allies.

I am undecided right now.  It is really no skin off of my back to let them dump Shady Shin and live to fight another day.  But I would rather Vincent go home, and I think that Shady Shin is the kind of only-active-for-votes absentee that would make a really attractive FTC opponent.

Shin thinks I am the Gambino he can flip to the Lucchese side, because he doesn't know the Lucchese side is turning on him already.  I told him to make me an offer.  Here it is:
I've got three allies in this game at this point (Crystal, Vincent, Bobfather), though no one I've promised a ride-or-die partnership. You'd be going out on a limb here for me, so I can promise you'd not be at the bottom of any proverbial totem pole. You've got Shady Shin's word on that.

Words are cheap though. If we do make the merge and I win an immunity I'd be willing to pass it off to you as payment in action.
Do I want him to give me an immunity necklace during the merge?  Certainly not early on.  If he wants to offer it up somewhere between final six and the FTC on the other hand I would be pleased.  But what I would really want, if I am going to shake things up to save him, is a promise to be that ride-or-die he says he doesn't have.  I'm not going to vote for Paulie or Robster here though because I know Shin has already lost the people on his side.  So I would need him to agree to a Vincent vote.

Lots to think about.

I would like the Bonnano Tribe to go into merge with a plan to stay unified because I think I come in at or near the top of individual connection for each of the other four.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 16, 2020, 05:05:05 pm
Paulie's #1, check
Crystal's #1, check
Shady Shin's #1, check

The only hurdle to getting a completely unified tribe was Robster worrying that Shin would not be loyal because he might know Robster was floating his name last round.  I solved that by encouraging Shin to start a five person group PM for us all, and now we are all bonding with silly messages and I got both Robster and Paulie to say in our three person message how good it looks for Shin staying loyal that he started the Bonnano tribe PM.

See my previous post.  If everyone cooperates its going to be Bonnango Paglongo time.  I know Pagongs are boring, but they are effective and when you are in the pole position within the alliance they are the proper play so, sorry not sorry.  Of course I will be keeping my ear to the ground and I am nothing if not light on my feet so I will make adjustments to my plans on the fly whenever necessary.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 17, 2020, 07:44:25 am
Let's see.  Genovese has been making it seem like Meyer is on the outs, but Meyer is the most likely person to have the idol.  It is also quite possible they are putting on a show to bait us into voting into that idol.  So I would like to let Genovese believe we are voting Meyer and then shoot our shot at one of the other three.

However, if Meyer really IS on the outs then I want him to come running back to me and Paulie as his two surviving pals from Al Capone's Cool People alliance.  So while we signal to the other three Genovese that we will vote Meyer, Paulie and I could tell Meyer a different Genovese name.  Then we Bonnanos vote for another Genovese altogether, neither Meyer nor the name we have told Meyer.  That way, if Meyer does tip off Genovese to the alternate plan we have told him and THAT person plays the idol, we dodge that too.  But if he votes as he is told he earns trust not just with myself and Paulie but with all the Bonnanos.

Now the last piece of the puzzle is to put this plan into play in a way where I am not the one putting this whole plan into play, because I do not want to see my threat level getting any higher than it already is right now.  Once again I think I am going to feed this to others and let them introduce it to the group.  The 'Signal Meyer, Vote Not-Meyer' plan could go through Shady Shin.  The 'Meyer Trust Vote' plan could go through Paulie.

My ideal scenario is: Tell Genovese we are voting Meyer, tell Meyer we are voting Bobfather, we actually vote out Viola as a way to offer reassurance to Crystal and Shin by evening the numbers again between Gambino and Lucchese.

Don Corneo has some questions for youse:

1. Congratulations on making the merge! That's a huge deal in the world of survivor. It means youse have a high probability of making it all the way to the final tribal council where youse will plead your case to win this game, which is one of the many objectives as a survivor player. Do youse have a plan going forward about how youse will accomplish this yet? If so, what is it? If not, do youse have thoughts about things youse can do to have a case to win over the other members of the merge?

2. Youse are finally meeting everyone in game, some for the second time. Have youse made assessments of your fellow Family Members? Are there some youse trust? Are there some youse distrust? Why or why not? Feel free to give an organization on who youse trust to who youse least trust for Friends of the Family looking to get some insight to your thoughts.

3. The challenges have been a variety of various flash games thus far. Are there any flash games youse are dreading to see in the future? Are there any flash games youse are hoping to see in the future? Which challenge has been your favorite thus far? How about your least? What are the reasons for your responses?

4. Now that youse are merged the construction idol is guaranteed to be somewhere on your new Family. Given that the Construction Idol could potentially be switching hands every twenty four hours, does this give youse any guesses on who may or may not have it at this time? Do you plan to make efforts in obtaining this power yourself or do youse see it as a bit of a crapshoot? Why is that?

5. If youse had your pick of who goes next, who would it be and why? If it's not the person you trust the least, is it a strategic decision as to why youd want someone else out?

So idk it is weird to be all the way to final seven and still feel like nobody knows what they want at the end, I think it has something to do with all the medevac/replacing/flaking scattered across the mid game.

I wonder if I can beat Paulie in an F2?

In my gut I knew this was the round Robster had to go before Shin even disappeared.  Now he has given me just cause and I will not look like a snake for doing it.  Bada bing, bada boom.
Title: Re: Your confessional!

Robster created a group chat of Rob/Vi/Paulie/Carmine/Bob

Bob told Crystal she and I had been left out of said groupchat, Crystal told me, then Bob told me.

I shook the tree.  Sent semi confrontational messages about it to Paulie (in our trio chat with Crystal), to Robster and Viola.

Bobfather notes that Robster and Viola are seeming rattled.  Paulie claims he was about to tell me but was traveling home from board game night, likely true.  Regardless, it is now very convenient for me to lump all three of them together in The Narrative.

I dig up PMs from my first day in the game to send to Bobfather.  Viola reveals an alliance existed, created by Paulie, between herself, Paulie, Robster and my predecessor the Don.  Al corroborates, says the Don told him about it and Paulie confirmed when confronted but said it was not a real thing.  Al Capone was naive enough to say OK Paulie, and leave it at that.

But even though Paulie threw his lot firmly in with Al, Meyer and me after that, and I am Paulie's number one as the last Cool Guys standing, it is very helpful right now for me to gin up fear of Paulie/Vi/Robster as a trio in the minds of Bobfather and Carmine.  Paulie is immune anyway so this cannot blow back on him right now.

If those three are a trio as I am telling Bob, then Bob and Carmine are walking into a trap at final five by aligning with them.  Ergo, it would be better to get away from them now and use myself and Crystal to split them up while we have the chance.  I may wind up getting Paulie to vote against Robster too, but the numbers would be there without him, assuming I can land this plane I am all the sudden flying towards the runway at 500mph in a dark thunderstorm with no landing gear.

Robster is finally showing up in all of our groupchats saying we need to take our shot at Bob now (too little, too late) and Viola is telling me she just got dragged into this group chat and it is not making any plans anyway, but come on Vi, you do not need an explicit plan to read between the lines of Five People In and Two People Out.  Whatsamattayou?!?

I need Robster out right now because it preserves my two primary alliances with Crystal and Paulie, it isolates Viola and it builds trust with Carmine and Bobfather which will give me the maximum latitude to do whatever is necessary next round.  Also, I need Robster out so that I do not get strung up instead.

Capiche?

Crucial immunity win!

Extremely likely that Bobfather plays the idol this round.  There need to be three votes on them to keep them honest.  I am going to work on convincing Carmine and Viola to vote for them, with the impression that everyone will vote for Bob and Bob will almost certainly be voting Crystal or Paulie so they are safe even if there is an idol.  Meanwhile my actual allies Paulie and Crystal will need to both vote together for one of the other two.  Then we have a 3-2-1 vote and even if Bob plays the idol it is 3*-2-1 and my allies are still safe no matter where Bob votes.

But most importantly I am immune so no matter what shenanigans go down I am not going home.  If either of Vi or Carmine get cold feet about voting Bob and plunk a vote down on whoever Bob votes, we could have ourselves a 2-2 tie after a Bob idol play but with me immune we do not lose the rock draw odds and can try to leverage that into flipping the vulnerable one so they do not face a 50% rock draw.
Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 22, 2020, 08:51:16 pm
Now there is a trio chat of me, Paulie and Viola to coordinate the hit on Bob, which conveniently doubles as an alternate plan for the long run in case Crystal proves too flaky to rely on.

Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 22, 2020, 10:33:12 pm
Dear sweet fuck they are just all so bad at confident communication.

I absolutely think that Paulie is probably the best option here. I am thinking they are the probably a big challenge threat as well.
Absolutely probably!?! Cmon man!

I guess it would have to be him or Viola if Viola is the ally of his that we go to F4 with. I'm not really sure though.
i guess that makes things extra safe and we wouldn't even need to break a tie.
I guess maybe not really sure probably nothing is certain everything is up in the air who knows?

Eh, I’m a little stressed about this tribal honestly. I feel like something is going on. Do you know of anything? I had your back last round, I do hope you’d have mine for this one.
Had my back, but also claimed you would play the idol and didn't.  Maybe if you had we would be on even footing here and everyone wouldn't feel like the only thing we can do is force you to play it or send you home with it in your pocket?

Nope, Bob is going scorched Earth threatening everyone that they do not want to vote for Bob or Carmine if they want to live.  Now we have them cornered.  Carmine leaking was the wrong move.

2-2-2 vote, if Bob does not idol we get them on the revote, if they do idol we get Carmine 3-1 on the revote.

Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 23, 2020, 02:46:26 pm
Now if I were Bob, knowing how the vote split is likely to work out I would vote for Carmine and not play the idol.  But anticipating this possible play by Bob I am sending Carmine another message warning him of this possibility, and encouraging him to cast his own vote against Bobfather for self-preservation.

After talking to Vi and Carmine and getting their agreement to vote for Bob, I propose a vote split to Paulie and Crystal where two of the three of us will vote Carmine as insurance.  Paulie decides to loop Viola in on that vote split.  Paulie assigns the Carmine votes to Vi and Crystal while he and I are to vote Bob.  One of the two girls turns on him, and because of the way he set the vote split up I don't even know which.  There is no good plan going forward, if Bobfather doesn't win immunity I hope people want to vote him again but regardless I am most likely getting 5th place.

Even if everyone is telling me sweet little lies and voting me out, the only ones who have coordinated a story to tell me we will all vote for someone together and make a majority are Viola and Carmine saying they will vote Crystal.  Crystal says we should vote Carmine with Viola, but she has not talked to Viola about it according to Viola so... ???  Crystal also says she is going to try to convince Carmine and Bob to vote Viola instead of me but she and Carmine have not been online at the same time and deadline is looming so... ???

I am going to feel bad if I vote for Crystal and she was legitimately trying to help me, but she has done nothing to get anyone else to say I am not going to die.  Carmine and Viola have coordinate to tell me I won't die if I vote with them.

Uh

Where to even begin?

I guess Carmine was never actually with the plan to vote for Crystal, but Viola always was.  So up until maybe ten minutes ago, Carmine and Bob must have been voting for me.  But all of my appealing to Crystal, and our game long relationship, did cause her to go make the argument to Carmine that they should be voting for Viola.  Crystal thought that by convincing Carmine, Bob would have to go along with it.  Bob argued against it, saying I was Immoral or something, and apparently they literally just did not get their acts together in time before the deadline to pile all three votes on either Viola or me and wound up letting this 2-2 tie happen.

Unless I can flip Carmine here, Viola goes on the revote.  I will have to change my vote to have even a snowball's chance in hell of repairing my relationship with Crystal.  I am on the ropes and need to win challenges or I am target numero uno from here to the end.

I hope Crystal and Carmine are just planning to FTC with each other?  It will be a snooze but it is the right play or both of them.

Title: Re: Your confessional!
Post by: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting on November 27, 2020, 06:38:03 am
So because I have no other angle I can really take with Bobfather I spent the last round trying to convince them that they are in danger of embittering the jury too greatly if they go to the end against the weakest opposition, on top of already dominating immunity and the idol so much that they are barely ever in danger of being voted out for the entire merge.  It is extremely unlikely that Bob lets this actually influence their game choices in the next two rounds, but just in case I also suggested that Viola bring up similar ideas to Bob today in her last ditch efforts to convince Bob on the revote.  Viola is doomed, no doubt, but I hope that by independently hearing this idea from her as well it takes root in Bob's mind and they start to believe it is truly a danger to their game winning plans.

Survivor is basically psychological warfare, this is a messed up game we play.

Bob is still going to vote against me at 4 if they win immunity.  I am entirely reliant there on convincing Crystal to side with me and tie the votes against Carmine, who hopefully I can beat in a tiebreaker challenge.  This desperate effort to influence Bob's endgame thinking is all about giving them just a smidgen of a reason to think it would look better in front of the jury if they take me to the end over Crystal at final three, should they be immune that round as well.

Hmm, it is a little bit like a tightrope walk, but I am trying to balance between pitching Carmine to switch his vote in the trio chat with Viola, privately telling him I am switching my vote unless he decides to switch his, and assuring Crystal that I am switching my vote and never would have voted for her in the first place if I thought I had any other way to survive.  I probably would have been the favorite for Viola's jury vote anyway, now this should all but guarantee it.

I was thinking about this. My first reaction was come on, Capone would’ve wiped the floor with Bobfather if he was still around. But then it hits me, that just means Capone would’ve won 90% of the challenges. I dunno though, I feel like top scores were spread among Meyer Paulie and others in their time but not gonna do the research to confirm.

I dunno though, I feel like top scores were spread among Meyer Paulie and others in their time but not gonna do the research to confirm.
I think the issue is that there are discrete tiers of flash skills.  Paulie had some good performances, but it was pretty clear from the premerge that Capone, Meyer and Bobfather were in the flash God Tier.  Bob got his shot at Capone in a premerge tribal and took it, and Meyer self-evicted before he could go toe to toe in any individual challenges.  But with the way premerge challenges displayed individual scores it was always going to be a known factor who was really strong, which opened it up for some of them to be targeted during swap tribes and only helped clear the road for one to emerge into merge dominance.  It isn't such an issue in other games because even though we all expect flash challenges to be part of the mix it's not possible to dominate an entire merge on that skill alone.  Urbosa's dominance is different from Bobfather's because of the sheer variety of challenges she won.  If you run PvCvW a hundred more times you would never see another challenge dominator like that.  If you run Flash Mob over and over I think you get someone who is clearly the favorite for every challenge in the merge more than half the time.

Sure, somebody could have tried to sandbag premerge challenges to come out of nowhere in the individual comps, but there just aren't enough God Tier flash players around to expect that.  For the rest of us, we rely on getting very lucky.  My somewhat respectable Flappy Bird score was the only run in the entire hour that I made it past 42, it required heavily favorable RNG to give me a lot of relatively straight pathing with the gaps, and it still wasn't even close to Bob's submission.  My score in the current challenge likewise required a very good streak of luck where the multipliers kept spawning in the one corner of the board where I was safely keeping my little ragdoll schmuck, but I again spent most of the hour failing in the first five seconds because I don't actually possess the fine motor, instinctive sixth sense twitching skills that separate the merely passable from the Divinely Klickable.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

OK so who should we go to top three with at this point?
i think maybe viola because i think falcone is someone that i think one of us might decide to take with us instead of the other
She told me how this would end a week ago

All but confirmed I am about to be the final juror and I don't want to vote for either of them to win

ugh 23 hours with no messages at all 1 frantic hour before deadline of trying to put my whole game on the line and make a winning argument for Crystal to keep me while my home internet absolutely shits the bed and I stress the fuck out about pending COVID test results for me my wife and my most critical supervisor at work.  Either I have COVID or I wind up working every day from now to eternity because she does.

I wish mods would stop trying to sugar coat it when you come in third place >.< It's not an incredible journey it's just losing, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

On one hand, I get how you're feeling. It sucks, doesn't it? It kinda feels like you may as well have not tried.

But I will say this - it's no sugar coating. I know people who would do damn near anything to make it to the spot you made it to - myself included at times. I've yet to crack the top half of merge, so I'm always happy for those that do.

Besides that, you played AMAZING and I absolutely loved having you here - getting 3rd as a replacement is an incredible achievement! Think about that.

Thanks John

The opening statements from both of these finalists leave something to be desired, to say the least.
