Congratulations again, Falco, Krystal and Metroid!

Again, you three did what 37 others couldn't, and now you get to listen to maybe 13 of those 37 ask you questions or call you on your shit. This should be good!

I will ask that you now all post your opening statements and we'll let the jurors in shortly.

Good luck to all of you! <3

I, Maj, am NOT a FURRY!
This board lag fucking sucks :P Anyway...

Hey everybody! It’s still pretty surreal that I’m here tonight and not with you guys on the jury, especially when most of the players who made merge were epic in their own way. I’m grateful that I have a chance to plead my case in front of you all tonight, and hopefully gain your respect of the way I played this game. I’ll try and keep this short and to the point, since my game was pretty out in the open once merge hit.

Before the merge/swap rounds, I was solidly in the majority alliance Star Wolf at Lylat, which included Falco, Slippy, Peppy, Wolf and I. Admittedly, you all probably have no interest in that stage of the game, since most of you were not involved. But because of it, I was in a good spot during the tribal rounds, and made it to the swap and merge with no problem.

Once the merge hit, my first major move in the game was ensuring that the people not in Crystal-Chaos (or those that felt on the outs) were brought together to make a move on the power tribes. Without me, it still might have come to fruition, but I know for a fact that I did a lot of the running for this to make it happen. While I felt I got along with the people perceived to be in power, I knew that my social game could only get me so far in a game where mainly the cream of the crop made it to merge. I figured I had two options: lay low and hope that there were cracks, or try and strike first. I chose the latter option, because I wanted to control my own fate in the game. I didn’t want to sit back and think “gee, I sure hope that they’re not as tight as they seem!” Especially not when Lylat was probably next on the chopping block if/once Blaze left.

After that, I know that a strike against me could be that I won so many challenges to get to this point, but I wanted to keep people I viewed as numbers on my side. For that to happen in a hybrid game? You have to win challenges. That’s the bottom line because the wrong person winning and picking a BB card, and you or your allies could be gone. And after winning a few, I had no choice but to keep trucking on and hoping that I could pull it out each time. I was already out there as a threat, while my allies were able to lay low, and I couldn’t go back. If I had not put myself out there, I think the endgame players for this would’ve been very different.

And I didn’t solely rely on challenges to get here. I believe I kept up my game socially with most of you on the jury, and I tried to keep communication open because things change on a dime in games. I firmly believe that there’s no such thing as game long enemies, and that it would be foolish to slam any doors. I think this line of thinking is what led me to be safe the round Flurrie won HOH and didn’t nominate me. Granted, I won the PoV anyway, so I would’ve been okay, but that was one of 3 chances to eliminate me in this game. I know that threats are targeted near endgame, and Flurrie and I were both threats. We came together to form a threat alliance which included Twinrova, and I think that helped me gain safety when she won power. Flurrie was the one who got the ball rolling for this, I’ll admit, but I did put forth the idea a round or two prior to that and I think it helped for us both to know that the option was on the table.

I tried to play this game as straightforwardly as possible. I didn’t purposely reach out and make a million deals that I never thought of honoring. I did lie, I wasn’t a saint, but I tried to avoid lying I felt was unnecessary. I will not claim to have controlled this game like some brilliant mastermind, but I think I did what I needed to in order to get to the end. I made mistakes (such as nominating Wolf) and I know my game was not perfect, but I tried to adapt to every situation to the best of my ability. I gave my all to this game, and I can only hope that that will be enough to win people over tonight. I think my game was much more visible than the other two sitting beside me tonight, and at most points more logical. There were chances to take me out, and they weren’t taken. I wasn’t immune every round, and I’m grateful to my allies’ loyalty in this game… whatever their reason may be. I would not be here without them, and I believe the flipside is true as well.

I would explain my game in more detail, but I just wanted to hit on the main points since a recap of the game is probably not what you all are looking for and I explained some things in FCs. I look forward to the questions tonight, and hope that you will give me a chance to earn your vote. Thanks!

Good luck Falco/Blaze!

I’ll try not to bore you guys, I’ve been a jury before and I can honesty say that most of the time I don’t read opening statements, especially if they’re really long.

I’m going to break down my entire game in categories just so you can get a better understanding of what exactly was going on in Blaze’s head.

Strategy:
My strategy was simple in the beginning, be active enough to survive the first few eliminations. I wasn’t interested in post whoring like the other players, I was simply interested in making sure I survived by any means necessary which brings me to.

Alliances:
#1 - During the course of the game I’ve had quite a few alliances. The one that started it all was my alliance at Chaos. I had a alliance with Cream and Rouge. I also had something with Tails on the side. Amy eventually got brought into the girls alliance. Due to our tribe having worthless players in Tikal, Eggman, Shadow and Knuckles. I never really had to worry about my spot until I noticed that the girls were getting just a little bit too close. I quickly realized where I stood among the ladies. I was #4 behind Amy, Cream and Rouge respectively or at least I thought. Tails and Sonic seemed to have it out for Amy for whatever reason and to be honest she was the one standing in the way of my F3 with Rouge and Cream so I told the boys I’d vote with them. The worst possible thing happened to me, I was eliminated because as it turns out Sonic, Tails, Rouge and Amy were the core alliance all along. Luckily I won a duel (more on this in a bit).

#2 - After winning my duel I knew immediately where I would jump to. The Crystal tribe! Where my partner Mario resided. As soon as I arrived I honestly felt the love. Peach, Doopliss, Flurrie, Viv and Mario. They all took me in as a honorary member of the Crystal tribe. Together we got rid of Bobbery and Shadow. Then it was swap time! Everything was going great for Crystal, we had a 8 person alliance consisting of myself, Mario, Peach, Tails, Doopliss, Rouge, Amy and Flurrie. We were to go to the F8 but I still had my issues with Tails, Amy and Rouge. I kept my feelings to myself and forgave them all because I was committed to making the alliance work. The swap happened and I really wanted to be on Falco’s team because I wanted to work Cream’s partner.

#3 - Enter the Lylat alliance (which would go on to be my successful alliance of them all) I immediately bonded with Krystal at the paused zone and told her that I would love to work with her and Falco. Foreshadowing to the F3 much? I think so. As soon as I returned I immediately found myself in the swing position. Crystal (Amy, Rouge) or my new Lylat alliance. Seeing as I was a woman of my word I sided with my Crystal allies to help get rid of Peppy because he was overplaying. The next round will change the game for me forever! The basic backstory. Rouge, Twinnie, Navi and Amy wanted me to vote for Panther. Wolf, Falco, Krystal and Panther wanted me to vote for Rouge. It was a tough spot to be in but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I’d side with the non Lylats because to put it mildly. I was in an alliance with Rouge/Amy first so they won on that reason alone. Now due to messaging 8 players non stop I voted for Panther but it was not on time. I quickly announced to my allies that I missed the deadline. I came clean about that shit and I still came off looking like the bad guy. Long story short Rouge left because of me, Mario told me that the Crystal’s weren’t trusting me to stick with them (that is NOT something you say to an ally you’re supposed to “trust”) and Amy was pretty much being a cunt for no reason. Still through it all I remained calm because I still had an alliance but I had a lot of damage control to do. Amy and I got into it again and then Flurrie said that I should have left. That was the end of my alliance with Crystal as I knew it.

They didn’t trust me
Wanted me gone?
Got dramatic over a simple voting mistake?

I knew what I had to do, I revealed to the world the cross tribal alliance in hopes of getting each and every single one of them eliminated. I clearly meant nothing to them despite siding with them twice so I cut my losses and found solace in the Lylat alliance and TwiNavi and Vivian. We would eventually get rid of the Crystal alliance one at a time. Mario, Doopliss, Peach, Yoshi, Tails, Flurrie , Sonic but not before we lost some allies along the way (Viv and Wolf)

We were then at the F7. I have recently came together with Sonic and Panther to form a threesome alliance. I also had one with TwiNavi and Krystal/Falco. No matter what I was set because I had allies everywhere. The only other person without an alliance was Amy, seeing as she was a huge jury threat I wanted nothing to do with her.

Loyalty:
Honesty? It frustrates me that this quality isn’t as respected in ORGs. Do you think I didn’t know that keeping Krystal/Falco in the game was a dumb move? Of course I knew but you know what? I also wanted to prove a point to my former allies that I am a LOYAL player. Unstable? Crazy? Unpredictable? You bet but you can never say I wasn’t loyal.

I was loyal to the following alliances

Krystal - Falco
Twinrova - Navi

No one else. Had Crystal not thrown me away like they did, I would have been loyal to them til the F8. I take that quality really serious.

I just want to say that I had a lot more to say but there just isn’t time. Ask questions and I’ll answer as honesty as possible. Just give me a chance before you write me off completely. I have a few more jury fallen comrades to do, I’ll post them with my closing statements. Maybe as a last minute plea to vote for me? <3

Congrats Krystal and Falco and may the best woman win. <3

Hey everyone! <3

I just want to start this off by saying this has been an amazing game. I had so so much fun playing in it. Despite the outcome tonight, I am so proud of myself for making it this far in a game of 40 people. I worked hard to get myself here, and it feels like such an accomplishment.

That does not mean I am going to be complacent, and just roll over and hand the win to Krystal, though. I know that my game is overshadowed by Krystal's domination in all the challenges, and I have my work cut out for me if I want to convince the majority of you that I played a more respectable game.. but I am up for the challenge.

As I stated before, Krystal dominated the challenges in the merge. She practically won her way all the way to the finals. There were only 2 rounds where she was vulnerable. And in one of those 2 rounds, she still challenge whore'd her way out of it when we were sent into a 4-way tie-breaker. While Krystal was only vulnerable for 2 rounds... I was only immune for 2.

People were threatened by Krystal's challenge prowess, and they knew I was her main ally. With her immune, who is next in line if they want to take power away from her?

While Krystal just had to win challenges, I had to work hard to position myself so I was not seen as the next target. I did not have the luxury of having immunity around my neck every round.

She played an extremely strong physical game, while I feel I played a very strong game strategically. We both got to the end in our own way. I guess it is up to you to decide which style of game you respect more. Someone who wins every challenge to get to the end, or someone who has to work to form alliances, and position himself to stay out of danger.

One thing I really valued about my game was that I was a team player. While on Lylat, I tried, to the best of my ability, to keep our tribe as united as possible. Wolf and Peppy were extremely helpful in taking part in that as well. Leon and Panther both saw me as near the bottom of the totem pole. Even Fox thought that too. Because of this, they felt that they could probably target me next to keep themselves safe. While it sounds like a dangerous position to be in, I did not fight it. I allowed them to think I was on the bottom of the totem pole. I did not want them knowing they were on the bottom, because I wanted them to feel comfortable with the tribe. I knew that tribal unity would be huge going into a merge or swap. Lylat never once turned on each other the whole game, and I feel that is a big reason I am here now.

Another thing that I think greatly contributed to me being able to make it to the final 3 was my decision to select Blaze for the "64" tribe even before I finished selecting my whole Lylat tribe. I knew I had a angle to work on with Blaze, and that's exactly what I did. I remembered that Cream was the only person to not vote against Blaze when she was sent into the duel. As you may have noticed, there has been a lot of Cream talk on the boards. Blaze and I have both been sharing our love for Cream. I told Blaze that Cream's final words before her boot were that I take care of Blaze. I told Blaze a story of how Cream wanted me to do her justice, and get both of us to the end... and how I was doing this for Cream <3. The truth is, Cream never said anything about Blaze to me. She never told me to do her justice. It was something I made up, but it is what kept Blaze tight with me.

I was able to put aside negative feelings when I needed to. Panther and I wanted each other gone every round of the pre-merge phase, and then ended up working together. Blaze betrayed me, but I forgave her and told her there were no hard feelings. She joined back up with me.

I feel it was during the merge that I really needed to step up my game, strategically. The numbers were tight, and we just needed 1 more person on our side. I worked Mario, and convinced him that I wanted an alliance between Me/Him/Blaze. I don't know how successful I was in getting him to put stock into that alliance, but I managed to get him to throw away a vote. There were many other times where I build alliances and bonds with people in order to position myself.

Many times in the game, Lylat probably should have been targeted. I actively tried painting other people as bigger threats, while also trying to make it appear as if there were cracks in Lylat when I really never wanted to get rid of anyone from Lylat. Not even Panther. I kept bringing up the whole Panther/Sonic/Tails thing even when I knew Panther wanted nothing to do with Sonic.. convincing Blaze that Twinrova would have gone final 3 with Navi and Amy.. bringing up the idea of a Falco/Flurrie/Amy/Yoshikid alliance, forming a Falco/Krystal/Sonic/Tails/Panther alliance, etc. I was very active in trying to make sure people considered me as a possible ally.

Towards the end of the game, I kept telling people that I wanted Krystal gone. I knew that people wanted us broken up, and if she is immune, I am going to be the target. I told Krystal that I was talking to people and telling them I wanted her gone. People went back to Krystal and told her I was plotting against her, where she pretended to act surprised :P. When Blaze asked Krystal if she would consider turning on me, and she said yes.... then Blaze came back to me saying Krystal said she would never turn on me.. that is when it became apparent that I was successful in making people think we were not close. At least it was successful on Blaze. It may not have been on others.. I don't know.

I don't want to drag it on for too long, since I know most people don't like long intros, but there are many times where I felt like I should have been targeted, and I worked hard to make sure I wasn't.

Every round of the game, I constantly weighed the pros and cons of every move, and ultimately made my decisions based on that. I feel like I played a near perfect game strategically. The one place I went wrong was overestimating Blaze's trust in me. I thought I had Blaze wrapped around my finger, and she almost ruined everything I had set up to that point.

Speaking of Blaze... I don't feel like I need to make much of an argument against her :lol: . She was very wishy washy this game. Very indecisive and sporadic. I don't think true fans of ORGs would consider that a winning quality, but then again, I am not one to decide who wins. I still <3 Blaze, though.

Anyway, I admit I am not very good at opening statements.... so I will do my best in answering all of your questions. For those of you who read everything, thanks for taking the time to read it <3

Hi dahlings! Missed me? :kiss

I won't ask any questions tonight, oh no I won't! ❤ It would be rather silly as my jury vote is locked already. Yes! ❤ Mama Flurrie still wrote her general thoughts on you dahlings! But if you don't want to read them, Mama Flurrie doesn't care, oh no she certainly doesn't!



Krystal dahling, congratulations on a game well-played! I'm very happy to see you in the finals. Yes! ❤ Mama Flurrie is very sad that Lylat and Crystal were at each other's throat, what could have been... Oh well! ❤ After my boot, everyone I was rooting for were destroyed except you! So from the final 7 onwards, you became Mama Flurrie's surefire vote and I am most happy to see you in the finals! Mama Flurrie is very proud and pleased that you will be representing this game as its winner! Yes! ❤ Congratulations again!



Falco, Falco, Falco. Mama Flurrie left way too early to dislike you as much as the other jurors! Yes! ❤ Unfortunately, I will not vote for you, no I will certainly not dahling! It is quite apparent that Krystal was the dominant one in the relationship, oh yes it is! ❤ Mama Flurrie has absolutely nothing against undying loyalty dahling! Quite the opposite, the person behind the mask behind the second mask is always undyingly loyal to his close allies! Yes! ❤ My issue with you is that you never tried to do anything particularly noticeable in this game which does make you look like her bitch! Yes! ❤ Also, don't think that you have second place in the bag dahling! Oh no! There is a strong possibility that Blaze will beat you! Mama Flurrie finds it quite comical, do you? :kiss

(Nah, honestly, I find it quite sad because you were a billion times better than that thing, but I'm not not voting Krystal. Sorry :( ) Good luck!



And finally, Metroid. Dahling, there are two kinds of trainwreck in Reality Games. The Fun ones who everyone root for the entertainment they provide and then the retarded ones who are hated by everyone and provide more embarrassment than enjoyment. Guess where you fit. :kiss Mama Flurrie is absolutely not surprised to see you here Metroid. When Mama Flurrie and Mario got voted out by 8 people, it was quite obvious that the people who voted to save you wanted nothing more than to bring you to the end to rape your face and wipe the floor with it. Yes! ❤ If you truly think that you deserve it tonight, you are even more disconnected than Mama Flurrie thought! Mama Flurrie was privileged enough to have a great partner on your original tribe and to know in advance that you were completely inept socially AND strategically! Just like when you put your own self into the arena by voting for someone who was ready to vote with you! Hilarious! ❤ You probably wouldn't have survived, but you lucked out when your opponent dididn't show up! Then you were sent to our tribe where you would have been booted had you not been Mario's partner because no one really liked you! No, we did not! ❤ Then, you are switched to another tribe where you completely screw over someone because you are too mentally slow to remember to cast a crucial vote. How dumb can you be? Next thing we know, it's the merge and while the others are celebrating, you start a call-out thread throwing two tribes under the bus, mine included. Then you pm me and tell me that I'm unfair because I don't trust you. You put the blame on us for our feud when you jumped at our throat for seemingly no reason at all. How rude. Yes! ❤ The rest of your adventure was basically you being dragged by Lylat and Ocarina until you decided to flip flop taking out the two persons that you could conceively beat in a jury vote, all in the same night. Congratulations on being the most idiotic person I've ever dealt with in an ORG. I'm glad that we didn't have to talk for long because you apparently caused many headaches. I've never seen someone think so ilogically, assuming that you can think. Mama Flurrie is most certain that you will claim to be a robbed goddess once the game is over and it will be most comical. Yes! ❤


Alright dahlings, Mama Flurrie is done! Thank you! ❤

I knew it was a strong possibility. Krystal and I would be competing for the same votes while Blaze would get the left-overs. While I was more actively coming up with the strategies, Krystal was the one that was more apparent because of her challenge wins. So it is understandable.
