M. Gustave / Opening speech draft
« on: October 06, 2021, 04:25:47 pm »
Hello everybody, I'm thrilled to have made it to the final tribal council. This game has been an emotional rollercoaster to me and while on the one hand I'm happy that it's coming to a close, on the other hand I feel like I'm going to miss it. There were so many memorable people and moments that I'll be thinking back on this game long after it's complete. But enough about the future; we're here for the past and present, to decide who's worthy of being crowned the sole survivor.
My goal for this game was to stick to my guns, play with humanity, and to make an impact on how things went. I feel like I accomplished all three of those goals: my decisions were my own, I believe I connected on a personal level with quite a few other players, and unlike my last few games, I proved to be far more than an easy compromise vote.
Pre-merge was largely smooth. From day one, I was very tight with Oracle and our connection had a major role in how votes went down. The other people I considered to be "core" allies were Richie, Anthony, Suzy, and Duke. Unknown to me until later, there was a large chat consisting of the people who supposedly bid nothing in the auction; this ended up not being an issue because my bonds with individuals were strong. Things were very calm until the kidnap twist, when Peter arrived with the intention of causing trouble for our majority. Despite his double vote, an attempt from Peter, Anthony, and Sam to target me failed because their intended recruits from outside the majority, Duke and Herman, were on too good of terms with me to be interested. I wanted Sam gone that tribal, and he went. It's around this time that I began to distrust Richie and Writer for perceived closeness to the Rushmore players, and that I started valuing Herman as an ally.
Then came trash island and the mandatory tribal council. It's here that I pushed for what has to be considered a mistake: I pushed for Anthony to go over Margot. Considering Anthony's genuine regret for voting against me the round before, and how strong Margot would prove to be later on, I feel like getting her out at that point would have made things much easier for me later. But whether it was a mistake or not, the vote once again went the way I preferred.
Merge is where the game got spicy, and the first few votes are some of my biggest personal regrets. Peter and Young Writer deserved far better from me than to be ignored, and I'm embarrassed at how I treated them. The Peter vote was nearly unanimous, as everybody seemed to think he was too reckless to commit to as an ally. Buckley's medevac came at a very opportune time for me; if we had gone to tribal with 11 players, my core group of {me, Oracle, Suzy, Duke, Herman} could well have been picked off. But instead, we got the first of many ties. This was the first time I didn't know what was happening - my intention had been to split on Writer and Royal to indirectly weaken Richie, since there was no appetite for a Richie vote at the time. But a tie happened due to Richie spreading a lie: he told Suzy that Margot had thrown her name out, thus getting Suzy to flip onto Madame; Oracle followed suit because he didn't want to risk his relations with Suzy and Richie. But during the revote, Richie's attempt to save Writer failed as Suzy and Oracle saw through his manipulation and switched.
The round after that was my lowest moment, my biggest failure. I'll be honest with you that I was just mortified; in theory, my group of five had a majority and could do any vote we wished, but we knew an idol was out there. The plan was, assuming that Richie had one, to leak to Royal that Richie was a target to flush it while actually voting Madame. Unfortunately, the two called my bluff and let Madame know she was the real target, at a time where Suzy wasn't available for us to all switch. Knowing that the minority was targeting Herman, I switched to him to keep myself safe. Herman did nothing to deserve this and I was devastated that my error cost him his game; that, combined with my good friend Duke medevacing immediately after, put me in a bad spot mentally. Everyone around deserves a lot of credit and thanks for helping me through that; seriously, you're all wonderful people.
The Royal vote came during this time; if I had been in better shape I may have pressed for a different target, but I had no energy and so was content to go with the flow, and I don't believe voting him out then actually hurt me. This was another slice of luck, because after the Duke medevac I was truly in the minority for the first time. But what happened happened, and I think ultimately the Royal and Duke eliminations cancelled each other out. Margot was the other time I was caught by surprise; Madame voted with me, thus avoiding a tie. The reason for that, as I figured out, was that she had made a final 3 deal with Suzy and Oracle. While Oracle would still have sided with me despite said agreement, Suzy really was with Madame, thus leading to the 5th place vote.
What happened is that Richie idoled me, 'saving' me from the vote and eliminating Suzy. In exchange for his 'generosity,' I agreed to not vote against him next time. This whole scenario, of course, was completely artificial - Oracle only voted me because Richie claimed he was dead-set to vote me, and he only said that to create a chance to score some style points. Natalie Anderson idoling Jaclyn at F5 in S29 was outstanding because it was actually meaningful - this wasn't. At our F4, had Richie not won, I would have voted him out, promises be damned, because I think he's my strongest competition; he would have been steamed about it, but I'm not here to hide from confrontation anymore - not after Peter and Young Writer. But he did win, and so the next biggest threat, Madame, was removed.
In no way did I play a perfect game - there were plenty of things I regret, and that I wish I could do differently. But nobody plays perfectly, and if they say they do then they're kidding themselves. What's important is that I feel like I grew as a person, made some friendships, and played a good game. If you all decide I'm worthy of your votes, I'll be ecstatic, but whoever wins will deserve it greatly for managing all the unplanned departures and other twists. I'm looking forward to answering your questions.

M. Gustave / final 4
« on: October 03, 2021, 09:05:46 am »
finalist 1: oracle
my #1 ally and absolute best friend since day 1. we just hit it off immediately and even the odd hiccup like the final 10 tie couldn't shake our bond. said tie, where i was left out of the loop, was one of my darkest moments in this game but once it became clear that it was all orchestrated to the benefit of richie i was able to trust you again. you having made a final 3 deal with madame and suzy also threw me, but i believe you when you say you wouldn't have voted me if you thought there was a choice. but anyway, you know that i frickin love you and will immediately be sending you a friend request on steam after the live reveal happens. you're the one player remaining that i feel any confidence about getting more votes than; we played very similarly strategy-wise but i think people were less than pleased with your attempts at trickery. but if you pull off an upset and win this game, i'll be extremely happy for you!

12th place: peter whitman
we didn't get along too well this game, to say the least. so much of what you did i just completely didn't understand at the time; it's only now, when i know about all the items and machinations, that i really get what you were trying. but after you tried to get me out unsuccessfully, and with what appeared to be a major long shot, i felt like i could never trust you. my biggest regret is how i treated you; i was, for the most part, really fake, which i'm sorry for because i really dislike fakeness in people. i try to be genuine with people but i didn't do that with you, and i'm disappointed in myself for that. you certainly could have shaken things up though, if your plan had worked things would have looked tremendously different during the merge.
11th place: buckley
poor buckley! i really barely got to talk to you, and from what everyone else says about you i missed out. you leaving was very sad from a personal perspective, and i hope you're doing alright now. the timing of your departure might have inadvertently been a big help to me; i felt like there was a good chance of my fivesome of {me, oracle, suzy, duke, herman} getting outnumbered at an 11-person tribal, which was conveniently skipped. possibly i'm off base on what would have happened, but it's yet another example of events having unexpected effects.
10th place: young writer
i said above that i was unhappy with how i treated peter; you're another player that i wish i could go back and do better with. after a rocky start, i started to view you as a real ally, and i'm really thankful for all the youtube videos you introduced me to - speedruns, exploit videos, and cgp grey's informative content. the doubts crept in when peter arrived and you two seemed to just get along great instantly; i was convinced that you were tight with him and richie, who i also was getting suspicious of by then. but basically blowing you off and not messaging you when your name was on the block? that was a dick move, and i apologize; i was too sheepish to look you in the eye. i'm less sure now that getting you out was the ideal move; like you told me, you were on the periphery socially, and it's the social threats that win out in the end. taking out someone like madame or even the difficult-to-hit richie would have been a lot better, not to mention the constantly-immune margot.
9th place: herman blume
you, more than anybody else in this game, have full license to be pissed at how i played. you going home was a direct result of me bungling communications and making it too obvious to richie that he wasn't really the vote. thanks to that, he and royal were able to tip off madame, forcing a late change onto you to keep myself safe. this was a horrible, terrible, dreadful thing and i hate it. me realizing how badly i'd fucked things up, combined with guilt from the writer vote and my good friend duke leaving, were a big part of my downward mental spiral that lasted several days. as for what i thought of you, you were a solid dude. we didn't talk much; some of that was your schedule, and a lot of it was me being lame. i'm embarrassed to admit that i didn't judge you very fairly, you clearly had a game going and were brought to an untimely end. my biggest questions were who you were closest to, because i didn't do a good enough job of getting stuff out of you.

20th place: rat
never got to speak with you; going out first sucks but i hope you at least had a little fun. from what i remember the main problem people had with you was that you were low activity; if you can find more time to do this and enjoyed it, you should definitely give it another go.
19th place: kylie
oh kylie... i thought you had a great personality! you were a lot of fun while you were around, but that was the problem: you weren't around enough. that plus what happened with the bullseye challenge meant there was nobody else it could be. please play again if you liked the game and can find more time!
18th place: klaus daimler
another player i didn't get to know; it sounds like you weren't around too much either. all i can say is better luck next time.
17th place: steve zissou
sounds as though you were the first person to fall due to relationships instead of activity. i've been there like everyone else, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. i heard some good things about you though, so it shouldn't happen to you too often.
joint 15th place: max fischer
much like steve, you just got caught on the wrong side of the numbers. there being guaranteed tribals for both sides really did you no favors.
joint 15th place: sam shakusky
sorry sam; ultimately i had just heard so many falsehoods sourced to you that i couldn't trust anything you were saying. as i think i said before, our styles of posting weren't a great fit and i just felt like i couldn't connect with you until almost the last day you were in the game, when we started talking about dominion. i hope you weren't too discouraged about going out, in another tribe with different people you'd have made it a lot farther.
joint 13th place: anthony adams
team chaos! you were really a great person, and i really did feel bad to vote you out - especially with margot turning out to be so damn good later on, getting her while she was vulnerable might have been a great idea. i loved our chats but i thought your game moves were just too unpredictable for you to be a reliable ally. i feel you were definitely hurt by getting voted out, and i'm sorry for that; i gave you some 'false' hope (it was true that we were discussing between you and margot, but momentum was very behind your name) and it felt very bad to do.
joint 13th place: foxy fox
you made a huge impact, especially as a newer player! i think overconfidence was your downfall; everyone i talked to said they got the impression that you believed you had far more power than you actually did. i'm far from someone who should be criticizing mistakes or decisions, since i've made plenty of big ones. but hopefully, if you plan to play again, you can look at how this game went and use that knowledge to do better next time.

M. Gustave / player opinions
« on: September 03, 2021, 07:38:24 am »
this thread is for listing my opinions of people and saying what kind of stuff we talk about.
camp ivanhoe originals
oracle: my bestie. their opinions are almost the same as mine on stuff, we look at the game the same way, and it's just awesome. we've talked about and shared some music, favorite shows, and how we want to play the game. plus, we bonded over both not knowing wes anderson very well, on top of both being active during the opening hours of the game.
anthony: on top of magic the gathering stuff, we've been chatting about other games like chess and general game design. there's been a side topic of psychological experiments and what their outcomes mean. i like him pretty well so far, though we haven't talked much in-depth about this game aside from us both liking oracle and richie (and each other).
richie: more approachable than he first seemed. we've talked tv, studying methods, and our struggles to figure out the forum software. friendly guy, but of my 'core four' he's probably my bottom man on the totem pole; that could easily change as time goes on, we're literally one day in. (my 'core four' is me, oracle, richie, and anthony btw)
young writer: very much playing a character which annoys me. i try to connect to people and i can't do that if you aren't yourself. anyway, we've talked mostly about poetry so far and traded a few haikus. a few people seem to like him, particularly richie, but i wouldn't be too sad to see him go.
sam shakusky: we've been talking about my childhood mostly, these cool stairs at a beach hotel i went to that a slinky worked perfectly on, followed by other gizmos i had. so far he's been pretty short and to the point, not really telling me all that much about himself; probably either newish or shy, which i can identify with.
suzie: only a couple messages so far but they've been pretty large. she answered my joke ice cream question by interpreting it to be about the cone, which i liked - witty wordplay is awesome. strangely, i keep hearing people say that other people like suzie, without them saying that they like suzie. like, is this real or is she being set up?
herman: just one message so far, bare bones. no connection to speak of yet. he'll need to step it up to survive if we lose.
kylie: on the same level as herman, few posts and what they do send is sparse.
duke: not a ton of messages yet but we've been swapping stories of crusader kings games, and talking about rl dogs. not super high but could rise with more posts.
