The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason

GeorgeBailey did a good job at working himself back into the good graces of the tribe, to the point where he now after this vote is the lowest threat player in the game. A far cry to where he was even two episodes ago, but a timely immunity win streak gave him enough time to rebuild relationships. Unfortunately for Haschel he was the least connected of the tribe and it caught up with him as only #1 ally Xofelf voted with him. Dsjstr had to use the idol because The Worst was the highest threat player in the game and his most important ally, even though relationships meant Haschel was getting more votes. The rest of the tribe really likes one another for the most part, so votes are gonna get hard and relationships are gonna sour fast.

[T-Bone]

The challenge will be based in part on physical.

Immunity Challenge #15 - Drop A Log

Castaways hold onto a knotted rope keeping a heavy log upright while standing on a narrow balance beam. At regular intervals they must stand further from the log back on the balance beam. If a castaway steps off the beam or lets go of the log they are eliminated. Last player holding their log wins immunity.

The castaways take their positions and hold in place.

That's enough bring me your torch. The tribe has spoken.

Spoiler: Reason

Very down to the wire here. Xofelf was on the outs following Haschel's elimination, but Kanna's great social game this season fell apart as she really started alienating allies and it caused her threat to rise. The only person who cared who was eliminated was Dsjstr who preferred Xofelf. Everyone else liked both Kanna and Xofelf and it came down to personal relationships. The Worst preferred Kanna and D3f preferred Xofelf to stay. GeorgeBailey didn't have a preference and went with his closest ally D3f to force the tie. Unfortunately GeorgeBailey's lack of preference means he wasn't willing to go to rocks so he flipped his vote to send Xofelf to the jury.

The Final 5 is here. Finale Night is upon us.

Both our competitors stay in! And both picks for the finale are forced. Good luck!

"I feel like I've been in control this entire game, yeah last night was scary, but if I make it to the end, the jury will see I played the best game." - Kanna

"I've watched many friends go home, but I'm still here fighting for them, and I know I can win this game if I get in front of them." - The Worst

"I am Survivor, I am everything this game requires. I'm making moves, winning challenges, I'll win my way to the end, and no one can stop me!" - Dsjstr

"Whenever I am in danger I find a way to save myself, with no one's help. That's what outwit, outplay, and most importantly, outlast is all about. I'm GeorgeBailey and I'm gonna win this game! - GeorgeBailey

"I have been on the right side of nearly every vote, controlled this game, and never been in danger of going home, and I've done it while never needing advantages or immunity necklaces. The title of Sole Survivor is waiting for me." - D3f

[D3f3nd3r]

Any idea when finale night is happening? I know you mentioned you were busy with a move, not sure if that’s still the case.

[T-Bone]

This is on my radar. Very busy with moving and wedding planning and other extracurriculars.

Weather update.

I have begun writing FTC.

[T-Bone]

Weather update. A winner has been crowned. Time to get hyped. I powered through and finished everything.

Night 35

The tribe returns to camp in the dead of night for tribal council. Kanna narrates from confessional.

"Not since the early game on Rosala and Stora have I felt so out of control. I was one vote from being sent home. I have "alliances" but it's clear I may not have friends. Not out here. Not when the title of Sole Survivor is on the line."

Kanna shakes her head. Scene shifts to Dsjstr and Kanna standing on the beach in the dead of night.

"That was too close. What happened?"

"I don't know why they voted for you, honest. Just, we have to take him out if he doesn't win immunity."

"Who?"

"GeorgeBailey."

"Yeah."

Dsjstr narrates.

"GeorgeBailey is the only player left I think that wouldn't go with me to the Final 3. So I need to start putting that thought into everyone's heads early."

Sun rises for the next day. The Worst narrates.

"Really weird that D3f went against Kanna. I just feel like D3f is playing for himself now and that worries me."

Shots of D3f stirring rice while The Worst looks on. Then Dsjstr walks up to him and asks to talk.

"Listen, if GeorgeBailey doesn't win today."

"I like him though."

"I do too, but do you want him to go to the end? He's got no enemies on the jury."

The Worst narrates.

"Dsjstr makes some good points, we'll see how it goes. I trust Dsjstr, but I have to play for me."

GeorgeBailey narrates.

"I get the feeling Dsjstr is going around telling people to get rid of me. I just have to put my head down and win though."

D3f pulls Kanna into the woods. D3f narrates.

"I voted wrong for the first time this game and that's on me. But now I need to reassure Kanna that it wasn't personal and shift blame a bit."

D3f whispers to Kanna.

"Xofelf was my closest ally I couldn't vote against them."

"Who told you to vote for me?"

"It was GeorgeBailey."

"Really?"

Kanna narrates.

"I don't know what to believe. I thought I was okay with GeorgeBailey, but now D3f is telling me is what his idea and not D3f's?"

Establishing shots of the island. Then zoom in on Dsjstr and Kanna by the water well.

"D3f told me it was GeorgeBailey's idea to vote me out."

"I think it was."

"Okay but if you knew why didn't you tell me? And if it was his idea, why was he the one to flip on the revote?"

"No I didn't know."

"Then why do you want him out?"

Dsjstr just shrugs. Dsjstr narrates.

"I thought Kanna and I were good, but she's interrogating me and what am I supposed to do?"

GeorgeBailey and Dsjstr are sitting in camp. GeorgeBailey leans over to whisper.

"I've been hearing my name thrown around camp."

"From who?"

"They've been saying its you."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"What do you mean?"

"You and I are the only two left who have won immunity. If you go then they target me. You're my shield."

"That makes sense."

GeorgeBailey narrates.

"I don't believe him. He admits it, I'm his biggest competition, and if I'm gone he thinks he can win to the end."

Kanna approaches D3f and they walk and talk.

"Do you think Dsjstr knew you and GeorgeBailey were going to vote for me? The truth."

"The truth is, yes I think so. I talked to him because that's what I thought they were doing. Honest, that's the truth."

D3f narrates.

"Operation blame anyone but me is working like a charm. Kanna seems like she's more annoyed that no one told her than annoyed that I voted for her."

Immunity Challenge #16 - A Bone to Pick

The Castaways must compete with one hand tied behind their back. First they must assemble a three piece fish hook hanging from a platform.

Norstorano Camp Life

GeorgeBailey hangs up his immunity necklace on a tree while the rest of the tribe congratulates him. He narrates.

"I needed that. My third immunity win, and now Dsjstr can't get them to vote me out tonight. Now I get to decide who I don't want to compete against in the final immunity challenge."

Kanna and D3f are walking to refill canteens.

"I'm just frustrated D3f, that feels like the third challenge now where I was so close to winning only to have one of those guys beat me."

"You've been good, I haven't come close in many challenges."

"I just think I don't know. He's (Dsjstr) won, and he's been close."

"Yeah we'll think about it."

D3f narrates.

"I think I'm in an okay spot. No one sees me as a challenge threat. Now, I have a good relationship with Kanna and Dsjstr. Do I want to get rid of challenge threats, jury threats, or the guy who I'm not sure where he's at?"

Kanna and The Worst are in the woods talking.

"You okay? I know you wanted to win Kanna."

"I'm just really upset cause I feel like I'm a target."

"Don't feel that way, we're all targets at this point. Only 5 of us left."

"Yeah."

The Worst narrates.

"She's nervous, I'm nervous, we're all kinda nervous at this stage. Who knows what will happen tonight?"

Dsjstr and GeorgeBailey are talking.

"I swear to you dude, I need you here, I wasn't going to target you. The moment you don't win, they target you."

"You think so?"

"I know so. They wanted to do you and then me. We're too good at challenges. My only way to the end is with you."

Dsjstr narrates.

"Plan A is toast. Now I need to convince GeorgeBailey that I need him in this game. Whatever it takes, or I could be sent packing tonight."

D3f approaches The Worst.

"I wanted to see where your head is at. I feel like we're the swing votes tonight."

"I know, I like both of them. But he's a challenge threat still, but she's a jury threat."

"You think so?"

"I know I already have so many enemies on the jury, how am I going to make my case when she's got friends?"

"Yeah, but if he wins."

"I don't know. I'm just thinking about winning this game."

D3f narrates.

"Worst brings up a good point, do I want to sit next to someone with friends on the jury? But on the other hand, can I guarantee I get to face the jury if I don't win? I think I'm about to make a million dollar vote tonight, and I don't know what I want to do."

GeorgeBailey puts on his necklace and the tribe grabs their torches and heads out.

[T-Bone]

Tribal Council #18

The jury takes their seats opposites the castaways. T-Probst turns to address the castaways.

"GeorgeBailey, do you feel good about having that necklace tonight?"

"Yes, I think if I didn't, I would see four GeorgeBailey's tonight."

"Dsjstr is that a fair assessment?"

"No, I don't think so. There's a lot to consider with this vote. Yes, he wins challenges. But is challenge winning all the jury is taking into account? I think the jury also has friends left in the game. So even though we both have won challenges, that may not be enough to impress this jury."

"Is that a plea, because you're the only other person left in this game who has won immunity?"

"Yeah it's a plea. But I don't think I'm wrong."

"Kanna, does that resonate with you at all?"

"No, not really. I've been close on challenges but never won thanks to these two."

Kanna points at GeorgeBailey and Dsjstr.

"And the three of us haven't won either. So we're vulnerable."

Dsjstr sits up to address T-Probst.

"Right, they've been vulnerable and are still here. I think the jury looks at that and sees that as a plus."

"The Worst, what do you base your vote on?"

"Both of them make good points. I want to win an immunity challenge, but I also want to win in front of the jury."

D3f raises his hand to speak.

"I agree. And I have to think whether I get a chance or not depends in part on the next challenge. I don't know what the jury will respect. But I think you have to demonstrate that you got yourself to the end. Having immunity wins is one way to demonstrate that."

"With that, it is time to vote. If you have any advantages, tonight is the last night they can be played. GeorgeBailey has immunity, he's not giving it up. You cannot vote for GeorgeBailey. GeorgeBailey, you are up."

Voting

"You're a tough dude, and I think if I want to win, you need to go." - GeorgeBailey
"I'm sorry, I really like you, but the only way I can get to the end is by letting you go." Dsjstr
"You're a huge threat and hopefully the others see it." - Kanna
"Sorry." - The Worst
"With this vote, I hope I'm not costing myself the title of Sole Survivor." - D3f

D3f sits down. T-Probst goes and gets the urn.

"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so."

The tribe looks at one another.

"The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

Night 37

The tribe is walking back to camp in the dark, D3f narrates.

"It was a tough decision. I think I can get by this vote whether I win or not. Kanna has friends on the jury, she would have a good chance to win if I was sitting next to her. I just gotta get myself to the end now."

The sun rises and The Worst and D3f are laying in the shelter.

"I think if GeorgeBailey loses today we send him off."

"And if he wins?"

"I don't know, Dsjstr and I are close, he saved me with an idol, but there's a part of me that wonders if I can beat him in the end."

"I get you."

D3f narrates.

"Maybe I have to hand it to The Worst. He's thinking about the game, I thought for sure he wouldn't even consider voting on Dsjstr. Still, Dsjstr can't win or I could be in trouble."

Dsjstr approaches The Worst and they talk a walk down the beach.

"So I'm thinking you and me are guaranteed to sit together. We can take D3f with us unless GeorgeBailey wins, but I think I can beat him."

"So we just vote one of them two?"

"Yeah, why would we do anything else?"

The Worst shrugs. Dsjstr narrates.

"No, no, we've been together for a long time. Why is he doubting this plan? What other vote could The Worst consider?"

GeorgeBailey approaches The Worst.

"Hey, what do you think we're gonna do tonight?"

"I don't know, I want to wait for after the immunity challenge before I make a decision."

"Why, are you considering me?"

"No. I mean I'm considering all options."

"I had your back man when they tried to vote you out."

"Yeah but so did they. This is hard, okay?"

D3f and Dsjstr are sitting by the fire.

"Hey D3f, is The Worst acting weird to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"He wasn't sure what he'd do if GeorgeBailey won immunity."

"That's weird?"

"Yeah. Like we're voting him out right?"

"Right."

D3f narrates.

"Whoa, what does he mean he's concerned about what The Worst would do if GeorgeBailey won immunity? Does that mean he'd vote for me?"

GeorgeBailey narrates.

"I need to get D3f on my side, just in case I don't win immunity today."

"Listen, I don't know what the other guys have told you today. But flat out, I won't vote for you no matter what. We can control the votes D3f."

"Interesting proposition. Can I think about it?"

"You can. I'm not going to hold it over you. Zero chance I vote for you tonight, you decide what you want to do with that."

GeorgeBailey pats D3f on the shoulder.

D3f approaches The Worst and pulls him aside.

"Hey, Dsjstr told me something weird today. Were you two talking about voting for me if GeorgeBailey wins?"

"I mean, he said that to me. But I said I wasn't sure. He just thinks it's a given I'm going to vote with him."

"Are you?"

"I'm going to make the decision by myself. He played an idol for me, and won challenges, are the jury going to respect me?"

"Okay, that makes sense. Thanks."

Final Immunity Challenge - Gimmie Three Steps

"Come on in guys. For today's challenge, you must race through a course to unlock three stages of a giant tower. To unlock the first stage you must swim out to your colored buoy and dive down to retrieve a key. You will use that key to release a stair puzzle that must be assembled. Once you get the stairs assembled you can retrieve a key on the first level of the tower. That key unlocks a small chest that is buried in the sand, which contains a ball. The ball must be guided through a mechanism to drop a ladder to the second part of the tower. On top of the ladder is a key for a chest out on a floating platform. Swim out and unlock that chest to get a bag of puzzle pieces. Bring the puzzle pieces to the top of the tower and assemble a three tiered tower puzzle. First castaway to assemble the puzzle correctly wins immunity and is guaranteed a spot in the Final Tribal Council. I know this is worth playing for. Let's draw for spots and get started."

- The challenge starts with Dsjstr racing out ahead into the water and swimming out well ahead of his tribe mates.
- Dsjstr reaches the first buoy and dives down while his tribe mates continue to swim out to the buoys.
- Dsjstr unties his key in one go and starts swimming back.
- D3f reaches his buoy and dives down to untie his key.
- The Worst and GeorgeBailey arrive and start working on the key.
- Dsjstr runs up the beach and unlocks his stair puzzle.
- D3f goes down a second time but does release his key. He starts swimming back.
- Dsjstr flips the pieces around trying to find out which steps they go on.
- The Worst is unable to get his key on the first attempt and dives down again.
- D3f arrives at the steps while Dsjstr makes progress on the puzzle.
- The Worst starts swimming back with the key while GeorgeBailey continues to struggle in the water.
- Dsjstr gets the last step in and climbs the stairs to untie the key.
- D3f looks over and quickly finishes his stair puzzle. Dsjstr leaps down the stairs and runs to the sand pit.

Norstorano Camp Life

The tribe congratulates Dsjstr when they return to camp. Dsjstr narrates.

"Yes! Yes! I'm never taking this necklace off! I just won my way into the Final 3, and I think I won this season! Three immunity wins, finding an idol, I have the biggest resume for sure! Now, I have to decide what move is best for my game!"

The Worst narrates.

"I'm really disappointed that Dsjstr won. I think I will have a harder time getting the jury to respect my game when they see that Dsjstr played an idol on me. But, he's been my closest ally this game so I gotta make sure we're cool."

The Worst and Dsjstr are talking.

"Great job man. Final 3, how do you feel?"

"I am still in shock. It's been a long game."

"Yeah. So...I just wanted to ask...D3f told me about the conversation you had with him this morning. Are we good?"

"Yeah, why would he tell you?"

"I don't know. You know I'm voting with you."

Scene shifts to Dsjstr coming up to D3f.

"Hey, did you tell The Worst about our conversation this morning?"

"No, did he said I did?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't."

Dsjstr narrates.

"I don't know who I believe. Makes me wonder who I should trust tonight."

GeorgeBailey comes up to D3f.

"Hey, just wanted to let you know, I'm keeping my promise. I wanted Dsjstr, but I can't. But I'm not voting for you."

"I appreciate it."

D3f narrates.

"Looks like I am still the swing vote here. I could force fire-making, or I could vote him out. I'm just not sure what is best for my game."

The tribe grabs their torches and heads to Tribal Council.

[T-Bone]

Tribal Council #19

The jury watches as the castaways take their seats. T-Probst addresses them.

"Dsjstr congrats on making it to Final Tribal Council. You'll get to make your case to them tomorrow night. How do you feel?"

"I feel amazing. I felt like I've had a big target on me all season because of my physical prowess, and it's such a relief having this around my neck and being certain I am getting a chance to win."

"So now that you're in the Final Tribal Council, what decides your vote tonight?"

"I have to figure out who I have the best shot against. I think these three have played great games to get here. I'm looking over at the jury and trying to decide who is their favorite, so I vote them out."

"D3f, do you think you are the jury's favorite?"

The castaways chuckle.

"Don't put that on me, heh. No, I don't think I am. I haven't won anything, and I've pretty much voted for every one of them to put them there. I think someone who has won or has friends on the jury is a bigger threat than me."

"Are you then referring to The Worst and GeorgeBailey?"

"Yeah, like Dsjstr, I am trying to figure out who I want to sit next to."

"The Worst, does that sit well with you? It sounds like D3f doesn't think he's in trouble."

"I think he thinks he's in trouble, we all are. But we also have to make a vote to try and win this game."

"GeorgeBailey you've won three immunities, concerned that you have a large resume and will be voted out?"

"I am concerned. But I would say to my tribe mates is that I can't win a challenge to win final tribal council. So you shouldn't take my abilities to win challenges as a threat anymore."

"With that it is time to vote. Dsjstr has immunity, not giving it up, you cannot vote for Dsjstr tonight. It's time to vote."

Voting

"You played a great game but I need to sit against people I can beat now." - Dsjstr
"Don't sell yourself short, you have a great chance to win this game which is why I have to vote you now." - The Worst
"I think you're too well liked by the jury, great game." - GeorgeBailey
"I think you're my biggest threat left to get jury votes." - D3f

"I will go tally the votes. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

GeorgeBailey

stands and watches their torch get snuffed.

"I just have one thing to say.

GeorgeBailey!

"

Everyone laughs while they waves and exits tribal council.

"Congratulations, you've made it to Day 39. Tomorrow night, that jury, nine people you had a hand in voting out, will decide who wins the title of Sole Survivor. Grab your torches, good night."

[T-Bone]

Day 39

The sun rises. D3f comes back from tree mail with a basket full of food.

"Day 39 feast!!!"

D3f narrates.

"We voted out GeorgeBailey last night. He won challenges, and he didn't have a lot of enemies on the jury. I think it was the right decision. Now I need to convince them I played the best game."

Dsjstr cracks open some eggs and starts frying them. He narrates.

"I think I won this game. I just have to make my case to the jury. I won challenges, found advantages, made alliances, I've played a really good game.

The Worst raises a mimosa to toast to his tribemates. He narrates.

"It's going to be a fight tonight. I think I'm up for the challenge. I didn't get to the Final 3 because I played a bad game, I played a good one. I've been thinking about it since last night, what do I say to convince the jury."

The tribe burns the camp in a giant bond fire. They grab their torches and head for Tribal Council.

Final Tribal Council

The final three arrive and take their seats. Then the jury enters and takes seats opposite them. Moments later, T-Probst comes in with the voting urn.

"Worst, Dsjstr, and D3f, congratulations on making it to final tribal council. You have gone as far as you can go in this game. But we're not done. Now the power shifts to the jury, nine people you all had a hand in eliminating from this game. Here's how this will work. In a moment I will give each of you an opening statement to make your case as to why you should win this game. After that I will give the jury a chance to ask you questions to help determine their vote. Tonight, you want to have your name written down. I will give you a moment to gather your thoughts."

The three castaways look over at the jury in silence.

"The Worst, let's start with you."

The Worst stands up and addresses the jury.

"Thank you. Jury, you should cast your votes for me to win the title of Sole Survivor tonight. I played the game the right way to make it to this point. I made alliances, I never turned my back on any of my friends. If you're not as fond of me, I get it. I voted you out because we weren't working together. In that I never lied to you. I played an honest game, I played a game in which I voted out my threats, and that's why I'm sitting here. I love you all and hope you understand that if I voted you out it was to advance my game and it was nothing personal. Thank you."

No one on the jury reacts to his speech. The Worst sits down and T-Probst points to Dsjstr who stands up.

"Jury, I believe you should crown me Sole Survivor tonight. I have done everything you can do in this game. I won individual challenges. I found hidden advantages. I voted correctly more times than both of my remaining tribemates. And I did those things while being a huge threat. Every time I needed to win, I did. Every time I needed someone voted out, they were voted out. I feel like I've played the most complete game tonight and have earned your vote to win. Thank you."

Kanna shakes her head while listening to the speech. Vash and Cheery both seem intrigued. Dsjstr sits down and D3f stands up.

"Thank you. Tonight I think you should name me Sole Survivor. I played a game in which I was never in danger. At no point has anyone ever cast a vote against me, nor was I ever in danger. I didn't need to win challenges to keep myself safe, I didn't need someone to play an idol for me to keep me safe, I was never in danger, and always in the know. At every point in this game you all came to me for my vote, because you knew I was in control of this game. I am sorry if anyone felt betrayed when they were voted out. But I think I played the best game of Survivor and I look forward to earning your votes. Thank you."

Haschel appears to be intrigued by this speech. D3f sits down and T-Probst addresses the jury.

"Jury, you've heard their opening statements. Now it is your turn to address them. Kanna, start us off."

"Thanks. Congrats you guys on making the jury. I have no hard feelings and my vote can be won. Can you each tell me the best move you made this game?"

She points to The Worst.

"When I flipped the vote to eliminate Haschel. I know Dsjstr used his idol on me. But I didn't need it. I already did the work of securing the notes, and Dsjstr didn't know so he played the idol. In that sense I also flushed an idol."

She then looks at Dsjstr.

"I think saving you to take out Xofelf was the best move I made. They had a lot of friends on the jury so we couldn't risk them getting any further."

Kanna nods and smiles and then looks over to D3f.

"I don't think it would be fair of my game to name one move. I was the swing vote quite a bit all game, especially once we got down to the end, because I made myself the most important person left in the game."

Kanna smiles and thanks the jurors.

"Vash, please address the jury."

"Worst, can you tell the jury who was the strategist in your partnership with Dsjstr?"

"It was me. Dsjstr was good at challenges, but his poor social game required him to win those challenges to get here. I had a great social game and I think more often than not he was following my lead."

Cheery furrows his brow.

"Thank you."

"Haschel, please address the jury."

"D3f, why did you blindside me?"

"I'm sorry. I was really close to Xofelf after the merge, but I knew how close you were to them too, and I wanted them to view me as their number 1 ally."

"Thank you, no more questions."

"Alright, Jumble, go ahead."

"Hi guys. I've watched every tribal council since my boot. Dsjstr, can you give me a reason why I should respect your game over the others?"

"D3f didn't really do anything. D3f says he was never in danger because he was in control, but I think he was never in danger because he wasn't a threat. The Worst was really my ally and did what I wanted."

"Okay...thanks."

Jumble sits down and T-Probst points to Menalque.

"Hey guys. D3f, I guess I'll give you the same chance to answer Jumble's question. Why should we respect your game over the others?"

"I think Dsjstr is wrong, because plenty of people in this game weren't threats but ultimately went home. I didn't go home because of how essential I was to everyone's game. That's why no one wanted to vote me out because most everyone felt they needed my vote."

Haschel nods his head and Menalque sits down.

"Pablito you're next."

"Thank you. Worst, I think it's only fair that you get to tell the jury why we should respect your game the most."

"I don't think I was ever in danger either. I had a few solo votes cast against me this game. But I think I received those votes not because I was playing a bad game, but because I was playing a great game, making moves, and really driving the action of the game. That's why when I received votes this game it was usually from the person being voted out."

The camera pans to Xofelf who scratches their chin. Pablito nods his head and sits down.

"Xofelf, you're up."

"Thanks guys. Worst, you voted me out and D3f didn't. Why should I vote for you to win anyway? And then D3f, when I got voted out you were on the wrong side of it. Why should I believe you were in control?"

Xofelf points to The Worst.

"I'm sorry I had to vote you out. I had to vote most people out."

D3f clears his throat.

"I think we tied the vote on your elimination, and at the time you were so important to my game I was willing to go to rocks for you."

"Thank you both, I have a lot to think about still."

"GeorgeBailey you are up."

"Hey congrats guys. I just want to know from each of you whether I could beat you if I was sitting next to you."

He points to The Worst.

"Yes, that's why I voted you out."

Dsjstr turns to him.

"I think I played the strongest game and would have beaten you easily."

GeorgeBailey turns to D3f.

"I have to say you were a threat to my jury votes, I don't know whether you would have won but I think you're sitting there because I felt I had a worse shot against you."

"Thank you."

"Cheery, close us out."

"Dsjstr, can you elaborate for the jury what you mean when you say you've played the most complete game?"

"Yeah. So we know I've won challenges, I'm the only one left who has. I'm also the only one of us to find any advantage. That was a big part of my strategy this game. I didn't just look for advantages so that I could have them, but if I had them, then I knew where they were, and that helped my social game. My strong challenge game and advantage finding game allowed me to play more aggressive. I wasn't cautious and I didn't play this game passive. I think both of them played passive honestly."

"Thanks, that's all for me."

T-Probst stands up.

"Jury, thank your for your questions. Everyone, thank you for a great season. Jury, now is time to vote. You are voting for a winner tonight.

[T-Bone]

I have lots of thoughts and such that I will reveal about the game in time, hopefully tomorrow. Plus I can try to look back and answer why things happen the way they did or why things were written the way they were.

First off, if you were a finalist and I didn't capture your real voice, I'm sorry. Please don't read too much into it.

Second off, this shouldn't have taken me 10 months and I apologize. There were times that I let the game slip away. I need to be better and will be in future editions.

Finally. In addition to all this Finale writing....

I have finalized the mechanics to adapt this as an LSG. I'll be looking for A) players who actually want to play a social game where bots do all the non-social stuff and B) A co-mod who is experienced with doing the production side of things. The game is ready to go minus production stuff that I need help with. If there is real interest in this game as an LSG, and interest in helping me, then it'll be coming to an LSG Queue near you in the near future.

That's it for now.

[Awoo]

Sort of like red green purple?
