FINALIST - Lucifer Morningstar



First off, congratulations on making it to the end! I definitely think you've worked hard to make it there and I'd rather not explain my vote here, but rather give more comments about our relationship throughout the game. I don't think we really clicked socially until mid merge when we were essentially forced together by circumstances. I really appreciated that bond that we had formed and getting to know you throughout the game. We talked a lot about our Survivor philosophies and I think that enabled me to understand your game a bit more deeper into the game, but I wish we would have solidified something earlier. Back on Strike, I remember trying to hold you at a distance because we hadn't connected much on BAU and I was considering voting you out before the lines were explicitly drawn by Judy/Poirot. I wanted to give you my clues but was worried when you just completely stopped responding to me because it felt like you were justing using me. Then we found out that Judy held the idol anyways so it was worthless. Coming into merge, I had no other path but to try and reconcile our friendship and was glad that you were willing to do that. I appreciated that we were able to build that back up and you genuinely surprised me with your challenge ability! You played a great game and I hope you know that and learned from this game! I'm excited to see what you'd do in the future

I think I went into this FTC with my vote pretty open. I wanted to listen to both sides and hear the arguments. I think my vote was closest in the middle by the end of it, but it was the final closing speeches that sealed the deal for me.


While I think both had completely different game styles and plans throughout the game, I think I was much more satisfied with Poirot's gameplay. At least for me, I understood why he made the moves that he did and I felt like he was always doing what was best for his game. With Lucifer, I didn't feel like I understood what direction he was going throughout the merge and I wanted to get that info out of him through FTC. But he didn't give me any confidence in his answers. People have poked holes and critiqued his gameplay such as him indicating that immunity was necessary for his gameplay when the rounds he had it were expected outcomes. The only round he probably genuinely needed it was F4 and even then he faltered.


I also just did not feel comfortable with how he held on to the idea that Poirot's manipulation of Leon should have the jury flocking over to him. That is what nailed his coffin for me. Personally, I play this game as emotionally detached as I can because I know everyone else is doing what they can to win this game. We talked about this in our PMs and he explicitly stated that he tries not to take things personally in this game. To then utilize an emotional betrayal as a crutch seems disingenuous to me. While I understand Leon was definitely hurt and manipulated, I think Poirot displayed a complete mastery over the game and situation that he was able to get himself out of having to complete a challenge.


Vote: Poirot

4th - Leon Kennedy



Even though this game was pretty much filled with newbies, I think you were the one person that genuinely capitalized on that personification. You played really well for someone coming from a mafia background and I'm really looking forward to seeing you play again. I think during the game, I didn't see much of a player from you and was left wanting more, but on the jury and the way others talked about you, I guess you just had a game outside of me. I don't think we ever had a real relationship because you just blatantly lied to my face and I still don't understand the reasoning. I think if we solidified something earlier we could have had a partnership but by the time we met at the merge, I don't think we had enough time to build up that friendship.

5th - Penelope Garcia



I loved being able to bingewatch some Criminal Minds throughout this game and it was so fun to play as her <3. Thank you Penelope for the joy you've brought me in this game and your wonderful gif ability.

7th - Lennie Briscoe



Lennie! I don't think we ever got close, in terms of social or strategic. We always held each other at arm's length it seemed. I think we did really great in making our partnership work despite the fact we were never on the same side. We were always honest and tried to keep the other person updated despite being on separate sides. At least on my side, I felt like we were building up to maybe allying with each other down the line, but the cards just never lined up. I was afraid of you in this game because I felt like you had so many partnerships and alliances. I felt really close to you even without being directly allies and couldn't imagine what plans you were making with others that felt closer to you . I genuinely felt bad that your tribal went the way that it did. I think Judy was supposed to go home that round and the fact that it turned around on you didn't feel right. However, I will say, with Judy winning immunity there, I would have ensured I was on her side anyways and would probably have targeted you or Poirot anyways. I don't think the hour she was vulnerable changed my direction. You are a great player and I can't wait to see what you do next
