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 every of 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. (F6)

As for Jack C., we talked during pre-merge, I even told him about my idol and had game talks with him that I can recall. When I heard he made an alliance without me, lied to me and tried to blindside me about the votes on you, I was upset with him and talked to him less. When he meant about "leaving him in the dust", I think he's referring to the fact he told me to play my idol on him, but I didn't. And if he's saying I didn't talk to him at all while he was voted out, I did, until the tribal results were posted. 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!
