I guess I should prolly do somethin' with this, huh?
Jury
Hey, guys, long time no see, huh? Sorry I couldn't get this in earlier, by the way :cry Time zones and general work hours have hindered me the whole game through. But no time for cryin' now! It's jury time! I'm gonna try keep this brief, cos I'm as good at speeches as I am at challenges B)

Congrats to all of you for gettin' all the way to the finale, man. You guys were my closest allies, an' there's no-one I'd rather see here than you guys. An' that includes me; at the time, I was just super excited to get so far, but hindsight allows me to see that my game stank, man :lol: I'd prolly have been obliterated just standin' there where you are.

But hey, that ain't important. The important thing is that I came out here to enjoy myself an' have fun, an' in an alliance with you guys, I achieved that for sure. I liked all of ya a ton, and it sucks that I can only give this win to one of you :cry

Most things I've wanted to ask have already been said, but I've still got a few tricks up my greaves, man!

First off! I think this question's been answered in part, but from what I've seen, you've been pridin' yourselves on havin' well rounded games. But no-one's perfect ('cept for Candice, of course :wub:) That in mind, what was your strongest point, an' what was your weakest point?

Second! It's clear I didn't have the greatest gameplan in the world, so if you were in my shoes, what is one thing you'd have done differently, man?

And third! Everyone's heard of morals an' saying's an' old wives' tales. There's a whole bunch, man, you could almost fill a book with 'em! So; give me one of those that you think best applies to your time in the game.

An' that's that! Sorry again for gettin' this in so late, but I'm wishin' you all the best of luck, man! Peace out! B)

nvm alol, I was confusing something, stupid me. These answers will be kind of short, because I have to leave and this is kinda rushed.

I'd first like to address the strongest point, since I've already said it multiple times now, but I think the final few rounds was the time where I held the most power, and would control who would leave and stuff. It was up to me to decide who went, and I was the sole swing vote in both rounds. I had four duos, and everyone believed I was with them! It was pretty hard to vote any of you off, but at that point I was just looking at who the biggest threats were. Idk, I've said this like a hundred times this FTC, and I will possibly write more after I come back in an hour.

My lowest point was most probably the 2-2-1-1 vote. That round was such a mess for everyone I believe, and I was in so much danger of going home, and I was feeling so tense that Nate would not want to work with me and would flip back. It was a really scary round for me, with its extreme unpredictableness about what was going to happen. I am forever thankful of you and Nate for sticking by me. Again, will add more detail later, although there's not much else to say about this, I think we all know what happened there.

I actually think that if you were a bit more active, you could have possibly changed some stuff, because I think you sent pretty good PMs and if you had time to send as many as possible then that would have been great for you. I also think you were labeled as a bit of a follower, and I think you might have been that. I would have maybe tried to reach out to the minority and ask them for alliances because they would have been willing to work with you and you would get a lot of respect for making a move, and your chances would have been better. Because people definitely thought that you had cute, nice PMs, so maybe if you had been more active, and possibly made alliances with the other side to keep your options open, then it would have been a good game actually, I think.

“It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.”

Instantly when I entered the game, I needed to send good messages to everyone on my tribe, and make them think that I'm a good ally with them. I immediately did that with you, Ozzy and CeCe. CeCe didn't make the merge, but you two did, and me forming those bonds with you from the start helped me in the end, giving me two separate duos I could work with.

Then on Hiki, I instantly bonded with Parvati, and her being on Puka Puka as well, was great because it strengthened our bond even more. I made more connections with Stephannie and Nate as well, and my bonds with all of these people is why I'm still standing over here at the end, with the people I want too, kinda. Hope that kinda answers your question.

Again, it was kinda rushed so I might add some stuff later.

Billy! :<3 Thanks for the questions! :)

First off! I think this question's been answered in part, but from what I've seen, you've been pridin' yourselves on havin' well rounded games. But no-one's perfect ('cept for Candice, of course) That in mind, what was your strongest point, an' what was your weakest point?

My strongest point, if I had to name one, would be the final five round where I took Ozzy out. I feel like I've covered this mostly in previous answers, but essentially, I saw Ozzy as my main competition to win the game, and knew I had to eliminate him at the right time, if I were to give myself the best chance. So I first approached Cristina, then we both talked to you, and we made it happen.

My weakest point was the Final 11 round. If it wasn't for Stephannie tying the vote and being prepared to draw rocks for me, I would've left the game. So I felt if anything, she fell on her sword for me in order for me to progress. But I'd argue that it was the relationship that I built with her up until her point, that made her feel that it was a risk she was willing to take, cause she wanted to move forward in the game with me.

Second! It's clear I didn't have the greatest gameplan in the world, so if you were in my shoes, what is one thing you'd have done differently, man?

I don't think your gameplay was bad by any means. I think you were more of an under the radar player, for sure. I would've liked to see you get more strategically involved. We were aligned, but I think outside of the voting period, we didn't get much of a chance to discuss our plan of action. I do feel like you had a solid social game, I did get some informative messages from you. Clearly you were likeable, so you had that going for you too. Just if you had maybe been around more, it might've made your game a bit more effective. But I understand you had work and timezone issues, so overall I think it's just some subtle changes I'd make to your game and I think you'd be a strong player! I'd be excited to see how you'd play if given another chance.

And third! Everyone's heard of morals an' saying's an' old wives' tales. There's a whole bunch, man, you could almost fill a book with 'em! So; give me one of those that you think best applies to your time in the game.

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." ~ Will Rogers

To relate it to this game, getting on the right track is one thing, but making sure you stay on it, is a completely different matter. I worked myself into the majority at the merge, but I didn't just settle for it at any point. I was always thinking multiple steps ahead, assessing what moves I would make and when I would make them. A big move like taking Ozzy out, I couldn't make it too early, or else I'd be the next target in line, yet I couldn't make it too late, or else I'd risk him getting to the end.

Just because the game is going smoothly at a certain point, it doesn't mean that the tide can't turn against you. I always made sure my allies felt secure with me, that they felt that they needed me in their games. I positioned myself so that the attention was deflected away from me as a big threat, after I had that stigma attached to me at the pre-merge, so that players like Jenny/Brad would need my vote to help them, so they wouldn't be able to target me a second time. So I felt overall, my game was well planned and calculated in advance, and that's what helped me make it to the end.

im going to keep this brief cause i sorta touch upon this with ozzy but a refresehr is never bad! obviously im not perfect and i ohpe i made that clear in my last few answers i didnt believe i was prefect either i definitely had my flaws alol fuck but here are my strongest poin tand weakest point!

strongest would obviously be probably just howsafe i was for almost the entire game! people weretargeting my allies while i was strolling by with a smile on my face! it was super fun to just be myself and relax in the a sense cause everyone seem to want to work with me always giving me options! i only got four votes in total after all so i think there some merit to this! in the end my strongest point was my ability to adapt and have options all across the game and never being force down a path

weakest point would be my lack of respect as a player? right now i feel like i may have straing and hurt my relationship with some palyers to the point of damning myself as a goat in the game idk i feel like i should of been more kind, open and active in makingbonds with everyone and sure i had optinos but frienship is also important am i right? i was able to play the game safely to the f4 but maybe atthe cost of my jury game? idk i was really scared when i got in here and my biggest fear was ending up as a asshole who ended ruining this experience for others

lmao definitely not i think your gameplan was a bit similar to mine where we use bigger players as shields but umm you never had an impact? this isnt as much as an activity issue cause as long as you make the moments youshow cought and make strong impression then thats what counts! you just needed to get yourself move involve in the game since you were likeable you just never really showed up as playing the game for 'billy' sake ya know what i mean? so my advice to you is keep up that attitude of yours, dont worry about your activity and just make sure you make the time you show up at count you don't need to be doing stuff 24/7 but make sure you got a few moves under your belt, you make strong bonds and enjoy yourself :)

cause it means no worries for the rest of yours daaaaaays!

lmao for real though i love this phrase and i think everyone does! i also can relate my experience to in this game to that phrase! for some reason this whole experience was actually really relaxing, fun and an adventure that i never had before since i got to experience all there was in this game from the good or the bad but thankfully i never stress out over it? i had fun! so so so much fun! it never really worried me in the end so i was able to be me and just have a great time! i got to play a bit of strategy, joke around, make friends, make moves, being an underdog to topdog and enjoy the good and bad that comes with these and idk best experience ever! :<3

thanks for the questions billy hope i got a chance and i hope you enjoyed my answers! peace broham!
