Hi Nic I'm really happy you enjoyed the speech! I was really starting to think I really fucked up but I'm glad you got something out of it. Now onto your questions:

'''Question 1: You stated that after Violet was idoled out, Cath HAD to go at F6 or you "literally lose the game". Call me dumb, but I didn't really get that part. Please explain it. Also, let's say Cath won immunity or pulled out an idol or did anything else to prevent her boot. Let's also imagine you lived to F5. What are your actions after that? '''

I don't think you're dumb -- it's a pretty fair question. By the time f6 had happened I had taken a few large losses alliance-wise, so if I let someone stay in the game that was playing a game directly against me any further, I would have had a lot of trouble assembling votes past f6. Catherine had ties to Julia, Jake, and Kon, and I was at least hoping to have one of Kon and Julia vote with me at f5, since I knew Asa would. If Catherine survived that vote it would be a lot harder for me to force moves, but I think there's a couple things I could do.

I'd probably try and off Kon here if Cathy won immunity, and then have Julia opt between going to the end with Cathy and Jake and probably losing by a large amount, or being able to claim that she had my life in her hands at final 5 and then hopefully split Cathy/Jake at f5, so that she would have arguably the most power at f4. I think Julia, had Julia/Kon/Jake/Catherine split the vote for me and Asa, would be the person most likely to vote Kon out in the revote, since Cathy thought she was close with Kon at this point, and since I know Jake didn't really care who he went to the end with because he knew he'd win as fuck. Also, if I was able to get votes on Kon and force a revote without him playing his idol or advantage in a way that would fuck me in the booty hole, I think people would be most willing to vote him out if I outed that he had the merge idol. If I had already used mine, that would make him the most threatening person in a way that would overshadow my own target, I would think. That's all kinda meager speculation, but also if Kon was as afraid of being my goat as he claimed that he was, he probably would have tried to save me at f6, and split up Cathy/Jake like he did in the real scenario, if for no other reason, to have a much better chance at sweeping immunity challenges, which kinda is one of the only reasons that he was able to clinch his spot.

It's also kinda hard to answer your question as well, because I knew Cathy didn't have an idol since I was feeding her completely fake clues that she thought were real up until her elimination. I think Julia would kinda be my best bet in that situation though, because I don't think she would have voted out Asa there, since bringing Asa to the end was probably one of the few ways that she would have a good shot of having to win the game, and if she could claim that she held my life in her hands, then she would have had a good jury argument against me, that she couldn't really supply for the rest of the players in the game.

'''Question 2: When I went, you said in Thikkpapa chat that you wanted to do something about my boot even if you knew I was going. Was this statement truthful and why/why not? '''

The Thanksgiving vote was the vote that I had the least information to go off of to get a good indicator of which way I should vote, but the whole situation seemed fishy to me. Kon was the only one really rallying for you to leave, and his arguments were centered around the fact that Julia/me were the names that you were spreading around, but even if you did say those names to just him, then that would probably something that you would lie and tell the person who you intend to vote who you "may vote". Like you're not going to tell Kon that you're voting him, so you give the other two people that you think people may end up voting or that may sound good to him. That's kinda what I thought happened. I could also in reality maybe see you saying that you wanted to vote for me, but I don't think you would have advocated in a million years that you wanted Julia to leave to anyone outside of Kon, because I knew you and Julia were basically f2. It would have been a truly SHIT move on your part to ever get out Julia, and I thought it would be a lot more likely for you to actually have wanted Kon out the whole time and just give him false information to lead him astray. But, I was only there for like an hour to try and decide if this information was accurate enough, and none of the sources were online to confirm or deny it because thanksgiving lol, so I wanted to at least tie it and try and get more information on what happened, so I could make a more educated decision. And as for doing something even though I knew you were going, I knew there were a lot of votes on you already, but I didn't ever want to cast a vote for someone that I didn't want to leave. Even if you did say you wanted me and Julia out, it would be a lot more beneficial to keep you around, because you would have targeted like 3/7 remaining players if you made it into f7, meaning the chances that you would be an even bigger target going into that stage would probaby lead to a scenario where I would be covered again.

1) Which one of the three B's (Brains/Brawn/Beauty) do you think influenced your game the least and which one - the most? No explanation needed. 

Beauty - least, I'm ugly

Brains - most, making intelligent decisions based on the information I gathered was kinda focal to me making it here

I know you said no explanation was needed but I gave it anyway, sorry.

2) What was your biggest mistake throughout this game that you regret the most? 

I wish I didn't tell Asa that Anna thought that it would be okay if people voted her. If I had her in after that vote that Julia could have left in, I think I would have had MILES of a smoother game.

3) Compare yourself in this game to an animal and say why. 

I'd say I'm an orca because orcas are really involved in information gathering when they hunt prey, and orcas are extremely difficult to kill.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY A COUPLE THINGS BC KON THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH LYING!!

Kon is literally the only person that is claiming that I'm being cocky. I think he thinks if he says it enough times that he can convince the jury that I'm convinced that I completely ran the game and every move was entirely mine and everyone was my sheep, etc, but I think I've been really fair in where I've given people credit this game, and I'm not claiming to run all of it.

The real reason that Kon voted for me in f4, is because he truly believed that I played the best game. His vote refers to the fact that he thought that I ran the game throughout and his lack of awareness of the moves that Jake was making. It wasn't to make people think that he wasn't my goat, because I don't think anyone thought that already, and it definitely wasn't because I was cocky, because you'd think you would want a cocky idiot in f3 so you could destroy their arguments logically. Due to his lack of awareness, he labeled Jake as a "floater" and was convinced that he deserved to beat him 8-0, and he was outraged and called me a bitter idiot when I told him that Jake deserved to win over him.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">And I don't think Kon ever thought that he was 100% safe. If you're the level of paranoid that you saw that he was in the game, you would have to think that the "one in a million" scenarios that he was thinking about were the ones that he thought were the most likely ones of happening, since those were the ones he acted upon. The only reason he may have a "relative feeling of safety" is because in order to get to that point he asked everyone 100 times if they were lying to him and if they were voting him, and even then, sometimes, he thought he was going home.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Ok sorry, I really had to get that off my chest because it's not right for me to let him claim stuff that is clearly inaccurate and unfounded.

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">I hope I answered everything efficiently, and thanks for the questions, Nic, they were fun to answer! :P
