Hey guys! First off, congratulations to all three of you. It takes a lot to make it to the FTC in a cast this huge regardless of your chances at the win so truly congratulations. Now a lot of you probably think that my vote is decided. Well, unless you want to be an ass, stop assuming. My vote is leaning a certain way but I am not a lost vote so take my questions very seriously and answer honestly. A response to anything I say is perfectly acceptable so if at any point you disagree with me, feel free to say so but defend whatever you say. Here we go.



Erik, you’re a great guy, a really nice and genuinely sweet guy. You’re getting a lot of shit for being a spineless goat and to be honest you were. But if anybody attacks you as a person or disagrees with who you are, they’re wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you on a more personal level in this game than I did when we played Twisted. Now as far as gameplay, we have to be honest. You didn’t do much. Your first real decision of the game was to turn on four people who had your back and you made two enemies right off the bat in myself and Kmanda (three because Kim soon came back). You made a bad move and it almost fucked you over but Michelle pulled an idol out of her ass (another bad move that lost Heather as an ally and made her a target of mine but that’s a different story). So you survived on luck. Next, Jeremiah flipped and Yul went, leaving you flopping around in the minority like a fish when you by all rights should have been in the majority. You stayed because you weren’t a threat. Still, not really playing for yourself. At the merge, you became Zmanda’s bitch for a few rounds, getting her that piñata right before the merge and doing whatever she said to do in the Ronnie and Monica votes. Then, we have what should have been the turning point. You flipped. We had this great plan to vote for Jeremiah, my (and your tbh) biggest threat left but our plan got foiled. That was really awesome to watch because even if you were safe on the other side, you were finally going to start playing the game for yourself. But then two rounds later, you just go back to Zmanda because she idols you with the sole intention of putting me up. Forcing that tiebreaker after you promised Zmanda you wouldn’t would have been epic. Cold-blooded. The Heidik levels of gamplay that I try to reach every game. I could’ve possibly stayed and then you and I would’ve teamed up with Jerri and Heather to take out the two biggest threats in the game. You would have been the author. Instead, you just voted with Zmanda and let her be the author. To be honest, that’s the moment you lost the game. Then all of this other stuff with people deciding your vote every round, the self-voting, the throwing your vote away, etc. was just added fuel to the fire. That having been said, I really did appreciate everything you said in Michelle’s thread and I absolutely see you as a friend. I also want to say that I think you’re genuinely having a great FTC so keep it up. You have the skills you need and I think you’ll win a game at some point (probably soon) but I don’t think this will be it.

My questions to you:

1. What are three lessons that you’ve learned between this game and Twisted that you’ll implement in the future?

2. If you could replace the F3 with 3 people from the jury who would it be? I’d prefer if this was for totally personal reasons rather than based on gameplay.




Jerri, I came into this FTC thinking that you played a great game and that you had a decent shot at my vote. You definitely still have a shot but some of your answers are really scaring me when it comes to your awareness about game stuff. I’ll start out by saying that you played a great game of staying UTR until you had to and then stepping up at about F7 and really having a huge hand in a lot of votes. You should be proud of what you’ve been able to do and your massive improvement from Epic 3. Now onto the parts that are really scaring me.

1. THERE WAS NO PREGAME. Everyone needs to stop saying this because it is horribly misinformed and ignorant. Yul made this up as a brilliant yet very dirty strategy to give myself and a few others a huge target from early on in the game. THIS IS AN ALL STAR SEASON. Naturally, I knew Kmanda, Ronnie, Mike, and one or two others from Epic 3. This is no different than Zmanda, Sierra, and Michelle knowing each other or Yul knowing a few people he did. I’m sick of this being such an issue just because I had one or two additional people who mentioned they were playing. Stop being stupid regarding this. On top of this, the pregame was the minority so it wasn’t even an advantage.

2. You would have been voted off at F4 and possibly even F6 and F5 had you not won immunity. You needed those so don’t think for a second that you didn’t get here on immunity wins which I’m not a very big supporter of.

3. Neither you nor Amanda carried the other here. You bot worked together mutually and ultimately decided to stay loyal to each other. That is called an alliance. She made just as many if not more moves/decisions as you so stop saying you carried her here.

4. You weren’t incredibly social. You did talk to me but it was rare and the conversations were short and barely personal (mostly about game). I can provide screenshots if necessary. You were decent but I think Michelle’s assessment was fair about you not having a very strong social game.

There’s another issue I’d like to address but I’ll save it for later. I appreciate your gameplay but I’m having trouble voting for someone who isn’t very aware of the game when the ENTIRE JURY has pretty much acknowledged all of this as fact.

My questions to you:

1. Why should I vote for you when you took Kmanda to the end and could’ve won unanimously had you not? I’m not asking for you to explain your move. Tell me why I should vote for you when I don’t like players who don’t make strategically sound decisions and instead choose to play “emotionally.”

2. Give three reasons why Kmanda should win over you.

3. In Twisted, I lost for two main reasons. One of those was that I won immunities from the F6 until the end which was a huge factor in getting me there so I didn’t really earn it on strategic merits. Why should I vote for you when you did the exact same thing? Recognize this and don’t try to BS please.




Kmanda/my Mike Boogie, I am so proud of you for making it here and I’m really proud of the FTC you’re having so far. Everything you have said about me so far has been really sweet and I appreciate it a lot. It sucks that your first FTC has to be in a game where you were gone for two weeks and people are using that as an easy excuse to not vote for you (even though you only went to tribal once while being away and you could’ve very easily been Yul’s target instead of Fabio). I am so proud of how you rocked this game after I left and to a degree I’m happy it happened the way it did because I think it was a wake-up call, especially after how you were treated that round. This wasn’t your strongest game to be completely honest but you played very well and I think you deserve a fair shot at this win.

My questions for you:

1. Defend your decision to turn on Kim and Zmanda. I don’t want any of the apologies. It’s been fine but for this question, just please keep it as strategically-inclined as possible. We both know about the round where I was voted out so please be honest in EVERY reason why you did it.

2. Please compare every juror and finalist to a BB 17 houseguest with a brief sentence as a reason why. Keep it short.


And there we have it. Now this would normally be the point at which I would include my spiel that I’ve included in every game where I’ve been a juror. I’d ask you to power rank the jury in terms of gameplay, tell you that you have no shot at my vote if you don’t answer, etc. It’s been a staple of mine.

But a certain pain in the ass used this question already. Sigh. But that’s ok! Because I came up with a new one that I think is even more fun. Since so much of this game was focused on Twisted and my “pregame” from there it only seems natural that I include it in this speech. I’ve gone back to every unique award from this series and listed them below. I want you to assign each award to a juror or finalist and give me a brief reason why. There can be people with multiple awards but every award must be given. Every finalist must answer this question!!!!! Take your time and give it thought because there are right answers. Assuming you all satisfy your individual questions, my vote will be largely decided by who gets the most awards correct. Kmanda and Jerri, you each have a bit of a grace period so you can each get a few wrong (Kmanda a few more than Jerri) based solely on strength of gameplay but you should aim to get as many right as possible.

Awards:

Biggest Hero
Biggest Villain
Best Story Arc
Best Rivalry
Dumbest Move
OMG Moment
Power Couple of the Season
Fan Favorite (Twistee of the Season)
Most Entertaining for Abi to watch (can’t do confessionals so just in general)
Best Alliance (can’t do name)
Best Parchment
Most Robbed
Best/Smartest Move


Thanks again you guys. It’s been a pleasure playing and thanks again to Abi for another fantastic season. Good luck with your questions and may the best person win.






Oh and PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY. I hope you’re happy, .







#giveyourdreamsachance. Peace.

Lmao, that signature <3

But a certain pain in the ass used this question already.

My sole purpose in life is to inconvenience you tbh.

Almost forgot!

PLEASE PM YOUR ANSWERS TO THE AWARDS QUESTION.

I will post when everyone has PMed them. DON'T POST THEM HERE!

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

I don't know what game stuff you are referring to me not being aware of.

Literally listed it there. #1-4.

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

You're dead wrong here, like couldn't be even more wrong. Kamanda was carried during her vacation, and her time prior to vacation was on Fuerza which were easy inactive votes. Kamanda was covered by her alliance at the merge ( the same players who protected her during the 2 week vacation) and I protected her from F6 on.

I wasn't referring to when she was on vacation. I was referring to when you claim to have carried her from F6 which you didn't do. She was not the target at any of those and most likely had at least a tie every time with or without you.

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

I DID NOT NEED KAMANDA TO MAKE THE END OF THE GAME. I got there with Immunity wins, I was getting to the finals WITH KAMANDA OR NOT. So sorry Eric, It's obvious what you're trying to do here but you're simply wrong.

I actually acknowledged this word for word. You did not need Kmanda. Said that in my question. I also said exactly what you just said (that you needed immunities and those carried you here).

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

To the contrary, KAMANDA NEEDED ME. Kamanda is NOT in the Finals without me. You even acknowledge the FACT...yes the FACT that Kamanda place in the finals was on me.

This is laughable and I never acknowledged anything like it.

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

clearly people rather you be a backstabbing cunt than keep your word. It's an online game, not one for a Million bucks.

This is a strategy game. People who use the "this is an online game" as an excuse for not playing it the way it's supposed to be played really bug me.

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

although I need Final 4 immunity, so did Kamanda.

Clearly she didn't since she's here and didn't win it.

Jerri @ 27/8/2015 23:43

So stop pretending like you'd ever not vote for Kamanda to win.

I was giving you a fair shot at my vote and trying to be an unbiased juror because I know how annoying jurors are are predecided can be. Yes, my vote was leaning towards her but it wasn't decided because, having been to three FTCS, I hate jurors who already have their minds made up. But if you don't want a shot at my vote, that's fine. Erik and Kmanda can fight for it. Just a piece of advice. Never assume because it makes an ass out of you and me. I think it's a big lesson to learn that you should never come into an FTC assuming anything and that you should always give it your all. Instead you use my question as an excuse to attack me (with bad information and no real arguments) and give up a chance at a vote. You're welcome to still try because a lot of my vote rests on the question you haven't even done yet but I do am disappointed at your total lack of care for a vote on the jury. I'm not going to argue with you anymore so do my question or don't but just realize how you're coming across right now.

Kamanda was gone F6 or F5 if I wanted her gone. I gave Kamanda the necklace at F6 to protect her, and I pushed for Zamanda to leave at F5 so Kamanda could stay. F4 we all know what the deal is there, Kamanda either wins that immunity, or she goes home if I don't stay loyal to her. YES...I ACTUALLY CARRIED HER FROM F6 TO THE FINALS.


and no Eric, you were never gonna vote for me, everyone knows that. The questions you selected for me and Kamanda make that so abundantly obvious and you and her are very very close. Don't continue to insult my intelligence and the jury's by saying that.

Keep telling yourself this.

Just so you know, the game is over. You don't need to try anymore of your manipulation tactics by trying to convince the jury that I'm insulting their intelligence or yours for that matter and trying to victimize yourself. I've never seen someone in these games actually tell a juror off and flat out don't want their vote. I was trying to be a good juror who voted on gameplay regardless of a relationship I have outside of the game. Considering how Kmanda has been doing with this FTC and how you've been doing (especially with all of what you're doing now), she probably would've done much better on the question than you regardless but thanks for making my decision easier.

Erik and Kmanda, good luck.

I'm actually shocked lol

Just gonna put this out there, I did address the "carrying" thing in Zamanda's question. Also Jerri, saying you didn't need me for anything when you were unable to complete the goal you had for the entire merge (to vote out Kim) without me, is sorta a problem.

I'll get to answering as soon as I can. I need a break from procrastinating on Marvel research lol.

2. You would have been voted off at F4 and possibly even F6 and F5 had you not won immunity. You needed those so don’t think for a second that you didn’t get here on immunity wins which I’m not a very big supporter of.


I had the Idol at the Final 6....you're actually kinda funny at this point.


Final 5: Kamanda and Zamanda were both in the game targeting one another

Final 4: I agree, Myself or Kamanda were the logical boot here, whichever of us wasn't immune.

I'm going to stop responding to you now.

I get to the Final 3 of the game whether I was with you, or I wasn't with you ( so no I didn't need you be in the finals, but you needed me).


You don't have to jump in though, it's obvious you got the game in the bag, I'm just gonna keep it interesting.
