So I really respect and admire the game both of you have played. While you've betrayed me multiple times, you've been a really cool person to talk to Hercule. And Rust- you've been a great ally from the beginning of merge until now. Like there's no way I could've gotten here without you having my back and I really appreciate that a lot.
I've put a lot of thought into this, but I'm voting for Rust. I realize I'm facing an uphill battle either way, but I think this gives me the best odds. I think we've played a very similar game in a lot of ways, but on a couple of key and important occasions, you were one step ahead of me Rust. I think it'd be nearly impossible to distinguish my game from you and I'd easily be beat, especially considering most of my allies in this game who are on the jury were your allies too and they like you just as much, if not more, than me. I think going against Hercule gives me a slightly better chance because we've played much more differently and so while difficult, the ability to contrast my game against his and prove it is better is more of a possibility.
You both played amazingly and I have a lot of respect for both of you.
