Hey Konstantinos!

First off, I 90% agree with most of what you said. I think you missed a couple kings in there. But all in all you were pretty close ;)

I never once said I thought I was a powerful player. I know I'm not. I was always in the shadows, listening and taking everything in. I was not in your face, I was not good at comps, I was less social than I normally am and I let people "run" my game. But all of this was a decision, the most important decision I made in this game.. As I read your speeches, obviously most of you don't like that I "didn't play the game" and think I am weak. But there is a quote that maybe will help you understand why I did what I did.

"You're going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is happy and at peace they mistake for weakness. It's not your job to change these people, but it's your job to show them that your peace and gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot. There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage. It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they can't. They accuse me of being deceiving; I am not deceiving, I am just made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I want you to be made of silk. You are silk.”

This is exactly how I feel about this game. All of the self proclaimed kings are the predators, and us "undeserving" girls are silk.

I hope you understand what I am saying and I hope this is what you were looking for.
