FTC vote
Richie, I think you played a perfect villain. Sometimes villain are the most iconic winners! And if you win this, you're absolutely deserving in my eyes, you played a fantastic game to do so - but as you already know, it won't be with my vote.
Oracle... you were amazing through the game, probably my biggest regret dropping out was not being able to talk to you anymore. You easily had the strongest game of the three in my eyes, buuuut... god, your FTC was bad in my eyes. The barrage of words in response to every question just made everything feel insincere. You'd apologise for something and say it was a mistake, and then spend 2000 words justifying why it made sense to you at the time - the 2000 word essay doesn't make the mistake any less of a mistake, but it
does make the apology less of an apology, regardless of whether you mean it to or not.
Gustave... I joked in my confessional that this FTC felt like choosing between two snakes and a himbo. I think you played an poor strategic game, but you're loveable as heck and your answers about your playstyle - especially that you came into this game aiming for fun - checked every box I wanted them to. If you isolated this FTC from the rest of the game, you'd get my vote 100 times out of 100 - you were miles above the other two in my eyes.
So... if my vote is for Oracle, it's because of the gameplay, in spite of the FTC. And if my vote is for Gustave, it's because of the FTC, in spite of the gameplay.
Spoiler
It was honestly very close, but you won it out with the closing speech. Short, to the point, and much better than the rest of your FTC had been.
And just one more point to clarify; when I said that 'others are treating people like pieces', I meant in how you and Richie were talking in your FTCs. You were amazing through the rest of the game and I hope I didn't knock you too much with that!
Gustave, sorry that it wasn't you, I think you'd make an amazing victor and I'm rooting for you just as much!
