Jury Voting Philosophies

Vote who you want tbh

Pretty much agree with this. Everyone has different parameters to who they vote. And there is never a wrong way to vote.

Your right as a jury member is to vote the person you feel is most deserving to win, regardless of what anyone else thinks. No one else is you, with your perspective, and what you deem "Deserving" to win.

But how do you define that merit? What are good plays, what are bad plays? Ultimately, every finalist got to the end in their own way.

I pretty much strongly agree with this. There's no "one right way" to play this game. That's why it makes the jury's choice somewhat subjective to the people who are on it, which is why "jury management" and "jury threat" are relative terms that people like to throw out. Like what I value in who I choose to vote for as a jury member is going to likely vary from other people on the jury. Obviously, this doesn't always pan out and sometimes there really is a "Clear Winner" sometimes, but I don't see things in black and white when it comes to being on a jury much like Klick described here.
