I don't think I've actually managed to read a whole FTC as a spec. Well maybe Hyrule, but that was so long ago I don't remember.
It being F2 or F3 doesn't really matter from my then limited perspective.

Watching them in the real survivor though, I'm also not convinced there is really that much difference between them. I've seen both formats give unexpected results and straight forward results.

Why it was chosen how it was where I helped mod (trtwiuaa), I think was just agreeing with what Monty suggested there.

So I think the biggest influence is actually do you want to do another challenge there? How big is the jury in either case.

Having once made an FTC (F2) with what I assumed what no chance of winning I tend to agree.
And a second time offsite, with the chance of winning based on ore-FTC jury opinions, being the first loser always feels bad.

I'm not sure if that actually is the same thing with 3rd place in a F3.
The discord game I was in a FTC at I just never tried getting votes at its FTC. (That was an F3 right?)

I don't hate on structural. I hate on having to categorise stuff.

The obligatory gif question.
It went missing from SotF, as I assume nobody could shoehorn it in.
Or it's just dropped out of fashion idk.

I would like to see a live FTC happen at some stage.

Everything was live in my off site survivor games, so it made sense for live there. It was done with all jurors readying their question in advance, and mods posting it if the jurors were unavailable. Jurors that were there were allowed one follow up question.
I think it took like 4 hours though, which is a big time commitment for the finalists themselves.
