Hello Dan! Thank you for your speech, and I’ll answer as honestly as possible.

The main reason that I don’t deserve to win is because I didn’t manage the jury at all. I didn’t put in enough effort to get to know people, I was absolutely gamebotty. When I needed people for game, that was the only time that I approached them and it left a lot of people feeling used, which is completely natural and I would very likely feel the same way in their position. No matter how good of a strategic game I played, jurors are people too and they reserve the right to vote with their heart. And voting that way means that I lose this game. When I look at the jurors, and if I reread the messages that I exchanged with them, a lot of people approached me first a lot more than I approached them. You and I had one conversation, and you were the one to approach me. Sam approached me more than I approached her. So did Zach, and so did Felipe. And my lack of reaching out to people until I needed something is probably going to be my downfall.

Devon would deserve to win over me is because he didn’t hurt or offend as many people as I did. He was significantly better than I was at approaching people, and he made attempts to get to know people. Despite some of the flak he's receiving now for being fake, obviously fake attempts are still better than nothing, and I gave a lot of people nothing.

I hope that answered your question, and good luck making your decision!
