Finale


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
Left...






















































OUT.


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!

What's funny is I was actually expecting someone to legitimately do so even though everything in the game is done completely and 100% open aside from the finale.

Scot survived a PEG/BBM alliance. 'Nuff said, he should have won for that.

The alliance was pretty obviously PEG/BBM/Scot, actually. If you look at the interactions (as in key passing) to infer alliance info, PEG/Scot had as many interactions as PEG/BBM. From what I know of what happened, in fact, BBM distanced himself from the other two and then later rejoined forces - if anything, it was BBM surviving a PEG/Scot alliance, not the other way around, especially with what happened in the 2nd round where BBM almost got eliminated (if there was such a solid PEG/BBM alliance, don't you think PEG would have given the key to BBM and not to Scot?). It's fascinating because I never actually expected an alliance to work in this game (its very nature is an anti-alliance mechanic - if someone spots the alliance and everyone works together to counter it, you lose an alliance member either every round or every other round), but all three of them (maybe not as much PEG, who took a very, very low-key role in the game - he only really got to work his craft once) were extremely adept at manipulating the results to benefit them.

In fact, from the final 6 onwards, I correctly predicted the majority of events in the game - I predicted that D3f would give the key to Feirei, who I thought would give it to BBM but gave it to PEG to give to BBM instead, eliminating Reck. I didn't expect Reck to time out, but I predicted that he would give the key to Scot anyways, who would then pass to the other two and knock out Feirei. I expected Feirei (as honestly a sort of 4th alliance member solely due to her interactions with BBM) to give the key to BBM, and BBM to think Scot was the easier final 2 over PEG if not solely because it'd become a referendum of "BBM or Not BBM" due to the quiet way in which PEG played the game, and I didn't think he'd expect to win it (although my thoughts were that BBM would win any final 2, and that Scot/PEG was a coinflip).

Had I been around, I would've given it to Feirei to bust up the obvious alliance.

Which probably would have lead to the same outcome anyways - Feirei would likely hand off to BBM, who would probably take Scot as a better F2 pick, PEG would hand to one or the other and they'd be final 2.

I feel it was half ignoring and half people saying "I'll hand you the key if you hand me the key" and wanting to keep their word. For instance, if you look at rounds 2, 4, 5, and 6, you could almost infer that Reck was practically part of the alliance - same for Feirei due to her BBM loyalty.

Of course, and if I'm in the game as well (back when I used to play things) I'm usually in that same alliance. Being friends for the entire time we've all been on site (hence my worry about people thinking I somehow rigged the outcome, especially when I made the decision that if Reck timed out it'd default, since I really didn't have a plan pre-game for missed deadlines but felt falling back on that was the most intelligent interpretation of the game rules) tends to do that, unfortunately - but Scot is another very good friend in our sort of group as well, so it's not surprising that there was a 3-way alliance.

But it's hard when it's anon and they still find a way!

Also not being on a tribe with either of them until merge makes that hard ;)

Also, being fair, I distanced myself pretty hard from Scot/PEG this game. A lot of the whole XOFBBM BOWL stuff was for that purpose: If I could pin myself against Xof and have everyone see that as the notable feature of the game, it would distract from what everyone knew.

Although I would also argue that I had more allegiance to Fei for 75% of the game, and if Scot didn't get the key in the round of 4, she would have made it to F3 at least. After the close call in round 2, I basically pushed for targets that I didn't have certainty in falling on my side of things. Part of my being saved by Fei was to ensure Xof and Blackberry lost before she did, and a lot of my actions in rounds 3-5 were to set that up to happen. If anything, my only true agreement in this game was to Fei. I didn't expect to get to the F3 that we did.

In retrospect, if I gave the key back to JDGA, there's no telling who would win. Probably someone I didn't want.
