During Tribal Council you will cast your vote here. You must cast a vote before deadline, but you may change it as much as you like before deadline until all votes are submitted. If you fail to cast a vote before deadline, you will receive a self-vote. Giving a reason for your vote is encouraged but not mandatory. Good luck! |

For round 2 tribal council, I'm voting for Julius Caesar because he did not submit a score in the challenge and caused us to fall in the bottom half. |

The final three players are all very well deserved. I really like all three of them and am disappointed in some of my jury members' pettiness in their final decision. I just wanted to throw some extra shade on my way out the door. #ByeFelicia. So in determining who I wanted to win, I had to establish a value and criterion. For me, I boiled down this game to two main components: the social element and the gaming aspects. For the latter, I had kept a small record of player performance across the challenges and could infer how well people played across challenge. While it was a bit difficult to see how Reagan stacked up in his time on the road to retribution, he had aired some of his scores plus conversations with moderators could hazard a guess as to the range of the results. Isabella and I had worked rather well in challenges together, particularly the bells and predicting our opponents' behavior in the reward challenges. So I gave her top marks on this while giving Reagan and Justinian middle passes for consistent performance. It was funny to hear the other players' gripe about people at the bottom since it was this perception that prevented them to see with eyes unclouded by hate and obscured them from getting to know people truly well. But that may be because I have some sour grapes to address in the next paragraph as well. So the second factor I used was determining was the social element. I didn't really like the fact about automatic subjugation on tribes and people making fast alliances based on no dispositions regardless of a knowledge of a person's merit and skills. It became clearly evident that I had been outcasted and depicted as a villain simply for trying to reach out to everyone, give them a chance, and figure out who could be an ally from that point. I wanted to give everyone equal merit before judging them. And I'm okay with that. If I see something wrong, I'll say it. If I see a societal barrier, I'll break it. Thoreau was once jailed for refusing to pay a specific percentage of his federal taxes because he did not agree with the war movement. When his friend asked him what he was doing in jail, Thoreau answered back, "Why are you on that side of the grate?" I broke the rules. But in those darkest of days, I found who were the true friends and people to whom I would do anything for, both in this game and in real life. The three of you have talked with me a bit about your personal lives and your passions. I share in your triumps, I sympathize in your defeats, and I will do all in my power to lend you three (and a few others) a helping hand as much as I can. So how can I quantify the social friendship you gave me? It's pretty tough. So I took an internal reflection on what happened to me. Do I regret it? No. I would trust everyone again. In the end, what did me in was faith. Compassion in the human being. Trust. So the slight edge was to be at what point would I merit their mutual trust and respect. Because of this final standard, I made my final choices based on how much faith you had in me, in the game, in our discussion, and in your conversations to appeal for votes - not just mine, but the entire jury. Thank you all for the game, I had a great time - I hope I added in just the right pinch of drama to the spice, and I look forward to meeting you on the flipside. Final Winner: I vote for Justinian Second Place: I vote for Isabella Comiserations to Reagan, but an excellent game played. Edited by Genghis Khan, Mar 31 2016, 04:53:02 PM.

True. Everyone was right that you were lying about your family situation precursor. But I still went along with it. So in the end, neither of us were really able to pull the wool over the other. Too bad.

I think at this point it's actually somewhat friendly banter. But it is the Internet. Sorry for any confusion. You know you will miss this far from dynamic duo!

Yeah, we don't actually hate each other. It's just keeping the message board going. lol. But if you want us to stop...let's bring up additional dirt! I purposefully tanked a challenge so we would vote out a Fertile Crescent member in our tribe. Drama! Intrigue! |
