I'd love to do juryrocks, but I made a promise at F3 that has now locked in my jury vote. o7

FTR, kdowns, this is why I told you you had to take me if you wanted a shot. Jurors will protest vote against people who play to win in nonanons

Okay no, that's bullshit. When the game is meant to be silly and RNG for a lot of it, that IS part of the game. So playing *against* that and making the game into just another Survivor-esque thing is the protest voting, not that you were playing to win. Play to win the actual game at hand, not whatever fucking game you've decided is the game we're playing. That's the whole problem.

This probably isn't meant to be about the jurors replying to jurors, so I'll keep it short!
But that's exactly what I was saying. The RNG absolutely was part of the game, but strategy was too, because the best way to progress in the game was strategising (it's no surprise that 4/5 players at F5 were Tryhards

). And you couldn't win without getting to the end in the first place.
But if you strategise too hard, you

have to

ensure that the people at the end with you also strategised that hard. Because otherwise jurors will protest vote against you for 'making the game into just another Survivor-esque thing'.
