I'll have more info about how things will work for our Final Tribal Council this coming Sunday.
But I wanted to go ahead and post this so we're all on the same page as we're getting close.


To keep our Final TC running as quickly & smoothly as possible, please avoid any tasks for our
finalists like ~ "Name something about every player in this game." Or - "Name something about
every person on the Jury."
That's what Fallen Comrades is for which will be coming up. So we don't
need to repeat stuff like this which will only make our Final TC longer than it already will be. I expect
it to run AT LEAST 2 hours.... probably more like 2-and-a-half since it's a nine person Jury. (And the
start time is not determined yet until I work that out with our Final Two. But it usually works out
pretty well if we start FTC in the early evening on Sunday.
)




Also, here's how I will run it. Your Jury speech/questions or whatever you're going
to say will have to be drafted IN FULL and posted in your Confessional NO LATER
than this Saturday by 11:00pm Central
.



And.......YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO HAVE A WINNER PRE-VOTE PLACED IN YOUR
VOTING BOOTH
, ALSO BY 11:00PM CENTRAL THIS SATURDAY NIGHT.




Both of these things will have to be taken care of BY the deadline Saturday night.
I suggest if you know of any reason that you cannot do this, please bring it to my
attention now so that we can try to work something out.



Otherwise, I may have to give your spot to someone in Ponderosa. That's just the breaks.
I know everyone is planning to be there. But things can happen. Internet connections fail.
Computer issues. Murphy's Law. Something. This way, no matter what happens, I'll have
your Jury Speech and I will post it for you if you cannot be here.




A L S O . . . .



* * * Whatever you're posting in your speech must be in ONE POST. * * *


Final Tribal Council is not a debate. There's no ~ "But you didn't answer this." Or ~ "I didn't like
what you said to that."
This is the difference between a 2-hour Final TC and a 3-hour Final TC.
So, I ask that you trust me that I'm doing what I can to keep it running as quick as possible.

I know we all have things to say ~ so draft an interesting speech. I don't care how long or short it
is...... but I ask that it be ON TOPIC. No need to have a speech 3 miles long that details everything
that happened in this game. Stick to the points. What do YOU want for them to convince YOU that
they get YOUR vote? And feel free to get creative if you're so inspired as long as you are not doing
anything that could even slightly hint at identities and that your speech or questions are of a fairly
reasonable length
. And be aware that on the off chance that some of you end up with the same
questions or very similar content...... I may ask you to "tweak" it a little bit...... although that
is extremely rare.
:)



Also, please do not draft obvious questions like: "Define your strategy." Or: "How did
you Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast?"
Or: "Why do you deserve to win?" These are boring
questions that they will have ALREADY ANSWERED in their opening speeches. So keep
it fresh
. Nothing is more tedious than having a Final TC with them answering the same
questions over and over. So, give 'em something good.
;)



P.S. Every Juror, please make a post here acknowledging that you've read this
and are aware of the deadline
. And we will find out Wednesday night who the
Final Two are and who will be our last Jury member to arrive.
:D

Acknowledged!

I do have two quick questions...

1. Do we get to ask a question of each of the two and if so can they be different questions?

2. when you say

you mean our IRL identies, right? My tribal question will be asked as "Sierra" not anonymously, yes? (Just clarifying since I didn't know if we would be posting our question- which of course which be from our avatars - or if you would be doing it for us)



So excited to see how this whole process unfolds!!!

You can ask a question tailored made to each finalist. Or you can ask them each the same question. Or you can speechity speech speech about speechy things and then ask a question or questions or tell them that you are just speeching and not asking questions. It's really up to each of you what you want to do, I just try to set some guidelines cause if I don't......people tend to ask very similar questions and y'all will be bored if I don't put my "producer" hat on ahead of time like this in order to help create a memorable FTC. :D

And yes, of course identities are off the table until I've posted the Cast Reveal. So yes, Jury speeches/questions are as your character. If people let me know ahead of time that they can't be online "live" right when it's their turn (you will ALL know EXACTLY what the order of who goes when will be).....then I will just log in to that person's account and post their pre-drafted speech/questions when its their turn. (have it all drafted in ONE POST all together.......NOT MULTIPLE POSTS. Or if people want to draft and redraft.......just make it clear up at the topic by posting something like FINAL DRAFT so that I don't have to guess which is the right one)
