I'm having trouble coming up with questions specific to any competitor, so these will be directed at you all. You're free to skip any you've already answered in your speeches. - What was the most challenging aspect of the game overall?
- What do you feel was your proudest moment in the game? Your biggest regret? Why?
- Of the eliminated players (not counting us on the jury), who do you miss working with the most? What made that person special to you?
- Who should I vote to join you in the finale and why?

What was the most challenging aspect of the game overall?
Surprisingly, despite the amount of work I put into it, it wasn't (most of) the votes. I had the benefit of Rich Chat for a while, and even outside of that, this is the kind of game where if you want a name on the table, you can make that happen pretty easily just because nobody else is. I lost that in the last two rounds but that was my own fault.
I'd say the elimination challenges. I participated in most of them and there would often be a feeling of 'did I really do that well enough?' afterwards. My strategy for them was slow and steady, because most of them had a failure state that I felt like at least one person would hit, but that did mean that most of the time I was ridiculously slow and if players had managed to avoid the failure state, I could well have gone home on them.
What do you feel was your proudest moment in the game? Your biggest regret? Why?
Proudest moment of the game is a difficult one, but it was probably being the only one to complete the logic elimination challenge, and winning immunity as a result. I spent over three hours on it so having that effort pay off was a huge thing for me.
Biggest regret is initiating the Pepe vote when I did. I think that was the moment everything went massively downhill - the Z&C vote hadn't broken apart RC but had also reduced RC's numbers and control enough that there was potential to wait and still be able to make that move later if I felt I needed to. I should have stuck with them and tried to take out Trebek/Sorsha before deciding whether to move on internal challenge threats or not.
Of the eliminated players (not counting us on the jury), who do you miss working with the most? What made that person special to you?
Air Bud. We worked together very closely in the lategame stages and we had a plan to have him gain the money slot, me gain the challenge slot, and Dog gain the jury slot. I was pretty devastated when that was torn apart completely in the span of a single round.
Who should I vote to join you in the finale and why?
This one's a difficult one, because I think Pepe's right in that if I'm going to make it through, it's going to be because one player gets a ridiculous majority of the votes and the rest are split. From that perspective, I think you should vote whoever is looking to get the most votes elsewhere. Off the bat, I think that's probably going to be Sorsha.

This is an interesting answer. When Dog with a Blog asked you who you'd most like to see go through the finale with you, you answered Prince Naveen. What gives you the opinion that Sorsha is more likely to win the vote than Naveen is?

What was the most challenging aspect of the game overall?
For me, it was money management. I wasn't trying to go for having the most banked, but rather I wanted to always have a cushion to pay out of challenges that I wasn't confident in my ability to do well in. I had to pay up more times than I would have liked to, and a few times I had to go without paying for a chat to maintain the bank I was trying to keep.
What do you feel was your proudest moment in the game? Your biggest regret? Why? I was really proud of just how well that one differences challenge I did with Doof went. Winning the final immunity was also really good, but it didn't have nearly as much pure joy in the moment as did just how well the two of us worked together in that challenge.
I regret not interacting in public chats nearly so much or as early. I kinda let that slide when I probably needed to do a better job of it. Because it might have meant I wasn't talked about as a target nearly so much as I was.
Of the eliminated players (not counting us on the jury), who do you miss working with the most? What made that person special to you? It's either Kristoff or Lamp tbh. Kristoff I just had a couple of challenges we worked together in and I liked working with him, and he was very up front about telling me what was going on and how I could do better, and I appreciated that. Lamp was also just really funny, and challenges they were in were always a good time.
Who should I vote to join you in the finale and why? I'm going to talk a little bit about my perception of each person here as part of my answer if that's okay. So I didn't really interact all that much with Naveen so I can't tell you much about what he did or didn't do, but I can't say I heard much about him from anybody either negatively or positively, so I don't think he's a particularly good choice. Reep pissed off quite a few people on this jury, but you can't deny he's a fierce competitor and any team he would be on is likely to be stronger for it, but I think he focused far too much on only one aspect of the game while letting the others slide. I've only interacted a handful of times with Queen, but every time I always felt better for doing so. She's someone that you know who she is and what she's capable of and that it would be something good, and any team is lucky to have her not just for challenge skills, but also just general people skills. So I think you should vote for Queen as well, unless I missed something about Naveen that deserves your vote more.

What gives you the opinion that Sorsha is more likely to win the vote than Naveen is? Dog asked who I'd like to see go through; you asked me who I want you to vote for. Subtle difference but it does make a difference! I think Sorsha is likely to go through because she's a good speaker, she's got the underdog story (in that I really wanted her dead and she's still here), and most importantly, a lot of Rich Chat really liked her to the point where even when I tried to get her killed through RC they tried to switch up the target. Since the jury is mostly made up of RC, I think that's a huge factor. Also, I was apparently tired enough that I missed the "not on the jury" caveat for the eliminated player I most miss working with. With that in mind my answer is either Yzma or Pixar Lamp - the latter I worked very closely with via a code system, and the former I trapped in chats with me for 3 rounds after I heard she might be after me and we bonded pretty tightly over that time.

1. The most challenging aspect of the game is this right now. I genuinely rolled through to here with 0 adversity or problems. That doesn't exactly make the most compelling storyline, but my positioning every round was so good and my allies were playing well enough that I genuinely at no point had to make a move other than the Zack and Cody vote. 2. Not getting eliminated in any of the colour based challenges despite being colourblind lmfao For real though, I'm just proud to have made it this far. It was probably around the F16 mark where I went "hang on, there are 4 votes left and a bunch of people who are bigger targets than me, with the fact I'm making it through challenges fine I have a very really chance of making it the the end" Biggest regret is probably not positioning myself more aggressively earlier. I genuinely have no problems with the game I played, but I understand how it doesn't look that appealing to a jury. Nevertheless, I think I played a solid game with a lot of merits, never had to backstab someone and comfortably made it to the end. 3. Pixar Lamp. this guy was great fun, always put codes out really early which was a huge help in figuring otu where the round was going, and was generally a delight. He also designed a really awesome code with a lot of nuances that was hugely useful throughout the game for passing on more information than just targets.

Hello Mr. Wild. I am happy to see you again since we never really clicked in our private chats :(
What was the most challenging aspect of the game overall?
The most challenging aspect of the game by far was managing the social angle given how difficult it was to be sure that you would be in talks with your alliance mates at the critical times. This meant that there was a lot more care put into codes and contingencies, and quickly making sure that you communicated all relevant information before the next phase began. I enjoy taking a long time to talk in these sorts of games, so having to actually be direct and get to the point was a huge challenge.
What do you feel was your proudest moment in the game? Your biggest regret? Why?
My proudest moment was seeing Zack and Cody voted out the round that I was certain that I was going to die. Apart from that, I was also very proud at my second immunity win because I was forced into that game due to lack of money and was terrified that I was going to lose as a result. Flash games are not my strong suit.
My biggest regret was seeing Pepe go. I maintain it was best for my game, but I do wish I had been able to head things off and direct the vote elsewhere to keep him around longer. I hadn't realized how close he felt to me up until that point, so it sucked to vote him out after he purchased a chat with Meg and myself.
Of the eliminated players (not counting us on the jury), who do you miss working with the most? What made that person special to you?
Given that I barely spoke with most everyone voted off pre-jury, this is a tough question. I think that I most miss Rapunzel because while she had a bizarre opening strategy in sending money, I think she was put on the back foot worse than she should have been for it. I would have liked to talk to her more and see where her game was headed. It could have been an interesting alternate way the game played out.
Who should I vote to join you in the finale and why?
I believe that Sorsha should advance alongside me. She spent the entire game getting votes and managed to get to the end all the same. It is extremely impressive and shows an admirable tenacity. Of the four of us here, I think she most deserves jury votes .
