With 7 of 9 votes in from the Council of Nine, a majority has been reached and the game is about to end. One person is about to become our winner, and one person is about to be the final person Left Out.
We stated that not all voices are created equal - this is for a very simple reason. It takes 23 of the 45 votes on the Council of Nine in order to achieve victory. 11th place has 1 vote, 10th place has 2, all the way up to 3rd place, which has 9. Theoretically, a player can win with just 3 out of 9 votes - the stronger voice is the reward for lasting longer in the game. So with that in mind, let's begin. The votes will be read in a completely random order. The two whose votes were not necessary to reach a majority were Blackberry and McMenno - as such, we obviously won't reveal their unknown decision. Let's begin.
The first vote to be revealed belongs to
Feirei
, our 4th place finisher. She has delegated her 8 votes to BBM. 8-0.
The second vote belongs to 3rd place finisher
PEG
. He has delegated his 9 votes also to BBM. 17-0.
The third vote will come from our 9th place finisher,
Cay
. She has delegated her 3 votes to BBM as well, making it 20-0. BBM needs just 3 more votes to win.
Vote number four comes from 10th place finisher
JDGA
. He has opted to give his 2 votes to Scot. It is now 20-2.
The fifth vote belongs to 6th place finisher
D3f3nd3r
. His 6 votes could've made BBM the winner, but he instead elected to vote for Scot. 20-8.
Vote number six is from 5th place
Reck
. Remember that a clean sweep of the big 3 votes (PEG, Feirei, and Reck) would make BBM the winner.
Reck's 7 votes belong to...
BBM. The vote is now 27-8, meaning BBM is your winner of Left Out 2015!
The last vote, belonging to 8th place
xofelf
, was also for BBM, making the final tally 31-8. The remaining 6 votes wouldn't have even made it close.
BBM, congratulations on winning. You overcame what everyone felt was certain doom in round 2 by turning things on their head and creating an interesting storyline and reason to keep you around. You then managed to settle into a spot where you let the legend and #teambbm speak for themselves, before in the end your friendship forged with Feirei allowed you to take control over the final 2. Very well played.
Scot, you also played an amazing game, winning the popular vote in round 1 without ever really being in danger for the entire game. In the end though, it just wasn't enough, and unfortunately, you have been
With the game finished and in the history books, so closes another chapter in Left Out. We'll be back later in the year with another installment. For now, please check out
Murder in Small Town N, the part-game part-murder mystery that got a budget way above what we get here.
With that being said, thank you to everyone who watched along the entire time, and a special thanks to the 11 players who made these past 13 days in the Left Out house some of the most memorable and interesting we've ever seen. With that in mind, remember - be good to each other, because otherwise, you may be
LEFT OUT
. Goodnight everybody!
