Jp’s statement

'''Hello friends! This org has been such a ride, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience to be honest. A big thank you to the hosts and all 19 other players who made this experience so awesome. I am relatively new to all this org business so bare with me as I make my second opening statement ever. I am not sure when I am going to post this, it would be cool if both statements were posted simultaneously but that's probably a pipe dream.'''

Ok so I’m gonna go into the game I played and like explain some things.

I am going to keep it short and sweet if you want specifics on any of the votes feel free to ask me in your speeches please.

 

'''I have been playing this game for 6 weeks now and it's been a journey, I think my biggest strength this whole game has been the fact that I have never accepted contentedness with my place in the game. If I wasn’t 100% confident with my position I sought out ways to rectify that, sometimes working, other times flopping.'''

'''During the third tribal council I attended the vote was set on seamus due to him not being in the majority alliance. In the event that we didn’t swap until merge and continued to lose immunities I did not feel secure with my position in said majority alliance. So I approached my closest ally at the time Damien and brought up the topic of flipping the vote onto Trey he agreed to the move and the 4-3-1 was pulled off, making Seamus stay in the game. I think this move changed the course of the game entirely as Seamus was a huge influence on the merge if Trey had been in his position instead I dont see myself working with him nowhere near as long as with Seamus. This move was a necessary one in my opinion, I did however receive my only votes this tribal council and lost some of the trust in my og allies. I did reconcile with the two of them later on but I don't think I could ever fully win back their trust and that was a risk I had to take.'''

'''Another turning point in the game was for sure the merge vote. I had previously been ‘blindsided’ the tribal council beforehand with me voting in the minority, but in reality Zach had informed me that Karsten was very likely to be going home. I was fine with this but voted Marty to adjust my perception come merge. This worked and the day we merged I was approached by old allies and new. Vincent brought me in as a number for his side voting against Marty. The minority also approached me, the minority being Zach,Seamus,Damien and Marty Seamus revealed that Damien had the idol and was ready to make a move with it. At this point I had a choice, tell the minority where the yangras + vincent were voting or just lie to them and let Marty be blindsided. I decided it best to bring up the plan to split the votes 2-2 and idoling the legitimate target,Marty. They all agreed and the plan went off without a hitch causing the majority alliance to decide between Lexi or Tyler. '''

'''Turns out Drew is a madman and after all was said and done, we drew rocks. This was the only time in the game I felt in legitimate danger but oh boy it was dangerous alright. This move defined the rest of the game for me Drew got rocked out and the majority was never the same, with Tyler leaving swiftly afterwards my options were open. I was in the know on every single vote post merge, including Seamus telling Liam to throw a vote on Marty incase Vincent played his idol at f8 leading to Marty's boot.'''

'''I did deceive everyone at least once this game, some worse than others. I do not regret lying to anyone as this is the nature of the game but I do feel like some of my lies were unnecessary or pointless. An example of a unnecessary lie was to Seamus was at f5 Damien has already spilled the beans I just was so paranoid about a idol lying around I was doing anything to prevent going home.'''

'''I think my strongest attribute this game was definitely my strategic  I am pretty sure I made the best move for my game every round. As evidenced by me being here.'''

As for my physical game it was uh… lacking I did try hard in nearly every single challenge but flopped like crazy, thankfully I never needed individual immunity until the very end which I swiped with ease.(I did pretty fricking good in tribe challenges tho)

'''My social game was probably not the strongest in the whole cast but it was more than sufficient enough to maintain relationships with the people I needed to (plus i legit enjoyed chatting about anything with people banter=good). '''

'''In conclusion I kept a firm finger on the pulse of this game, always maintaining a semblance of control no matter what the case and making the necessary moves for the betterment of myself. I was strong enough in the aspects needed to make it to the end without destroying relationships completely and being able to look back and be proud of the game I played.'''

'''I am asking you guys to vote for me, why you ask? I never laid down. I never gave up. I gave this game my all. I am really really really really cool. I made my impact and shaped the game for myself. I think I played a pretty fricking unique game.'''

'''Ok its time for me to sign off, as I said if you guys would like specifics about votes feel free to ask. '''

I would love to represent this awesome season as a awesome winner, VOTE jP!!!
