Hello Jace and Jake. Congrats on making it to the F2. You two are definitely the undisputed top 2 players in this game and I couldn't have thought of a more deserving F2 (of course the minority face-off between Rhi and me would have been much much better :D). This is what makes this decision so hard in that you both have impressive resumes and different stories going about your path to the end. You honestly have an equal shot of getting my vote.

Before I get into the game specifics, let me just say that I had nothing but pleasant conversations with you two and there are no hard feelings on my end from how this game turned out. I had a great time playing and I enjoyed talking to you both about your college experiences and various other subjects. Jace, seriously, you got me to start looking at surrealism paintings again and I have regained an appreciation for the arts. Jake, you inspired me to never touch a cup of coffee for as long as I live. I really enjoyed these things because they went beyond the game, and I sorta realize now that most of my interactions with people in this game went beyond game talk and veered more personal and I got to know some really great people I would like to keep talking to after Last Stand finishes.

THAT BEING SAID, friendship won't earn you this vote. Proving to me who is the superior (totally subjective) competitor will. So to avoid duplicating Rhi, I will ask these questions to both of you:

1) Can you detail who your alliances/safety deals were with for every round in this game? (I like knowing the logistics of every vote, it builds clarity for me)

2) If the F2 was not one of you two, who do you believe had the best shot at winning the game and why?

3) Here's a fun one: Who was your favorite host and why?

Anyways, thanks again for the best org experience I have ever had, and thanks for allowing me to get to know you both better. Awesome, awesome people!
