Hi Keaton, thanks for your speech!

Contrary to what they said, I did talk to the Zama tribe. I talked to other Tharros members as well, not just you and Ben. Jerry and Fariha were people I had good social relationships with, and talking with them strategically helped my game, when I would learn of the Zama dynamics and make the moves to advance my game narrative.

 As for the debate on why I didn't talk to Zama - I think they're referring to F6 and onwards, where I spoke less to them when they started targeting me and I felt they didn't want me as a part of their endgame plans, so it was awkward to talk about the game with them. I was also more focused on the strategy and physical aspects then. In retrospect, I probably should have talked to them more during that stage, not just about the game. That's definitely one of my game regrets and I can admit that was one of the flaws to my social game, along with my odd timezone and busy schedule. Because before F6, I was a bit more active in responding to them socially.

To give my side of the story: I did talk with Jack O. and Danielle at the start of the merge, but they were leaking my messages to their alliance according to Will, so I became more guarded with what I was saying to them. I also had good conversations with Carson as well, but over time, we started seeing each other as opponents, at least from my side. (F6)

As for Jack C., we did talk during pre-merge, I even told him about my idol and had game talks with him that I can recall! I think things went down to hill when he made an alliance without me and kept me in the dark about the votes on you. He's a good person and a great player - I feel like he misunderstood me here. I just saw him as a highly strategic threat and felt it was dangerous to let him keep playing.

Hope it clears up your concerns about my social game!
