Episode 13

[John Gotti]

Can I quickly say Bill's torchwalks are great?

[Brown Eyes]

ya bill is a star

[Lefty Lincolnshire]

Can I quickly say Bill's torchwalks are great?

Bill continues to rule

[Giacomo Siciliano]

Carmine and Crystal still haven't done torchwalks huh?

[Skinny Mickey]

Also there's no guarantee that Bobfather would have beaten Viola on the last challenge anyway. Bobfather's score didn't seem that high, but maybe Bill was just insanely good at whatever it was.

I want to know if Bill actually did anything t send home Viola over himself though. I don't have a clear sense of how that vote happened, and if he does win, that's the most significant moment of the game probably. If he just kind of got through by happenstance, it knocks him down a bit as a winner in my mind probably. But maybe we can get an exploration of it if he makes it to FTC

It's weird because he was simultaneously trying to vote Crystal out, but apparently Crystal wanted the vote on Viola because she still felt a bond with Bill. I know they did and do have a good relationship although I'm not sure how that happened in a round when Bill was trying to kill her. Anyway the other two went along with Crystal initially and then tried to pivot (27 seconds too late)

[Don Corneo]

Carmine and Crystal still haven't done torchwalks huh?

Carmine just posted his. I believe Crystal plans to do hers later.

[Don Corneo]

ALSO SPECTATORS PLEASE DO TORCHWALKS IF YOU FEEL INCLINED TO DO SO <3

[Brown Eyes]

WHY do people do 1 man per thread torchwalks it is the biggest pain to read and probably to make too

[Skinny Mickey]

Looks like Bill thinks he might have lost this challenge and Crystal thinks she might have won...

[Don Corneo]

And with that, Crystal becomes our first finalist.

[Brown Eyes]

RIP Bill

[Chameleon]

perhaps an unfortunate result

[Giacomo Siciliano]

I think it's an exciting result. Sucks for Bill, but this will be an extremely competitive and interesting FTC.

[Giacomo Siciliano]

Also I enjoy being right that Bill in hindsight should have tied the vote for Bobfather. Obviously it was impossible for him to know that at the time though, and I probably would have done the same thing in his place. But when you don't build a path for yourself that doesn't rely on challenges, this can sometimes happen.

[Chameleon]

competitive yes. interesting? ehhh. i guess i should give the finalists a chance to convince me they accomplished this by having agency.

i think bill's decision was fine. he had better reason than anyone could in most games to think he was above random % to win the final challenge, so i'd say it was a bit better than most who play themselves into must-win FICs.
