Once again, I will be drawing a rock, and once again thanks to fortunate events your chances to have your rock drawn by me are already 1 in 9....but I can be swayed with the right offer to draw a rock for you here and now. I just need an offer.

I said it once and I’ll say it again! Congrats on making it past the first two rounds of a survivor in nearly a decade!

Sorry I can’t really type up a speech right now because I’ve been in and out of the doctor with my roommate, but this summarizes things well for me.

Consider it the epilogue of a Try Hard:

Yeah it’s the Monty Gif. I mean I can give a brief speech but I won’t be at my computer for about 30 minutes

I have a coin. One side is red, one side is blue. You must predict what side the coin will land on. Choose carefully, the fate of the world depends on it

Since Malkon has gone blue, I'll go Red.

Cool, so I'll start. I fully intend to randomize my vote for the purpose of sending this to rocks. There was not enough rocks in this game that was supposed to be all about that. And that's a goddamn travesty. Additionally however, I would like you to produce, in the medium of your choice, your best rock draw.

I guess since someone

should

ask something game related:

Malkon - What exactly happened during the round I got eliminated? I just assumed Pine forgot to vote due to extrenuous circumstances, but you make it sound otherwise.

Kdowns - How many times did you vote in a way that meant no rocks?

Basically from You up until Tris did I vote in a way that meant no Rocks. You were the first victim of the path until the end. I had convinced Malkon to vote for me because he thought I wasn't working with anyone at that moment. So I took the stab at you, it was just the unfortunate way that you, Pine, and Malkon's circle worked out. I also thought it was funny for the meme.

Wait, there was more than one person actually trying?

I see.

Yeah, there was a group of 4 of us that were called Team Tryhard from the very beginning that was Me, Meme, Tris, and Mist. Which had started out as Me and Meme, and we brought in Tris and Mist. Meme and I were planning on turning on them as soon as we could, but I had also made sure to keep Malkon as safe as possible as well so that I can have him help me take them out on the way to the top.

Kdowns, you were a part of team tryhard, which actively forced this game to go to not go to rocks several times in a game where the entire point was going to rocks. Should I reward play that is antithetical to the spirit of this game? Secondarily, you hinted that you knew I wasn't getting mist's vote the round I went, but refused to explain why. Why would you bother to hint at team tryhard rather than just tell me, or tell me nothing about it at all when I was due to go that round?

I mean I don't know why I had hinted at it, mainly I felt guilty? There were a bunch of times I felt pretty bad for playing the game that I was playing, because I was tryharding to hard in a game that didn't need to be try harded, I stupidly was playing to win and not have fun for some reason?

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.

I actually agree with Xof's stance, which is why I decided to not take a fellow try hard to the end either, because maybe we were playing with the wrong mentality? Everyone else was playing to have fun while our group was playing to win? With a game like this fundamentally we were in the wrong.
