Hey Szymon! Glad to hear from you <3

If I may, I respectfully disagree on the point that I had a "lack of a social game." I do think an underrated or untalked about trait of mine was that I was able to truly connect with people on an emotional level early on in the season. I felt as though that through these bonds, I was able to get myself into that solid strategic positioning that you complimented me on (thank you for that by the way!). Would I say that I was playing a strong social game throughout the ENTIRE game? No, I wouldn't; my social game basically resorted to me talking about game 90% of the time. Despite that, I don't think it should be held against me on the merits of my overall game since everyone was focused on game talk come the final few rounds.

To answer your question, however... Yes, that was an honest statement made at the time but not the reflection I had of the game. It's important to keep in mind the context that statement was made in, because that's often what quotes boil down to (not to say you're wrong for thinking a certain way about it by any means though). If you remember, my phone/tablet were out of service the first month or so in the game, so I had to rely on communicating with people from my computer. As such, it made it hard on me to communicate, since I could only use my computer and even that was limited since I still had to have conference calls as well to keep up with work. I also was involved in two ORGs at the time on Discord, and I didn't necessarily want to give that away since I was under the guise of someone who was playing their first game.

Now, this is not to make excuses for that comment, especially when it's taken in the context of the game and I'm a finalist for said game. I don't recall saying that this game had a bunch of boring people (correct me if I'm wrong), but I do know that I said it was boring as it felt slow to me the first couple of rounds when we had inactives. But aside from that, I don't know if my gameplay this entire season if you were to look at it hollistically resembles someone who didn't put in much effort. I feel like I was pretty active when it came to positioning myself as well as making the moves I did towards the end game to get here. On top of that, I also did deal with some early game confusion because of the fallout from the Megan vote + Trey's eviction week which was an utter mess for me as well. Had I been someone who was disinterested and bored with the game, I don't think I would have made it quite far honestly.

I hope that answers your question!
