Hello, y'all! I wanna begin by congratulating you two on making it this far! It's been a very chaotic and difficult game and I commend both of you for getting to FTC. With that said y'all both have some shortcomings in your games and speeches and I think it's only fair to criticize them and ask why you deserve to win despite that.

Timi: I wish I had gotten the chance to play with you some so I could better assess your game. I say this because so far several of us have either questioned your speech/responses or flat out called you delusional because of it. I also want to point out how you say TC would have won when in fact he would have maybe lost. (I'm serious, #AnyoneButTC was trending in Jury for a bit). I can't say if the same would be accurate NOW, but still. Good job on being perceptive. 👍 From my perspective you played a good UTR social game, I'm not gonna deny that. However, in this game you were were not the strategist that TC was. Actually, I've even heard people say they felt you never really talked to them or that you only talked to who you felt would benefit your game. That's not called social strategy, that's called burning your jury votes. You can't ignore people just because they weren't helping your game. (Like my inactive ass can say a word about being social.)

Now, I do still think you played well. You overcame a lot and used your relationships to get to this point. But you did not mastermind everything. I'm sure you and TC did make decisions together. You did make it to where you are bc you minimized your threat level and used TC as a shield, so congrats on that. But, the way you wrote your jury speech makes you come off as arrogant and dismissive of the rest of us. Not only that, but to me, it makes it seem as though you really didn't actually give a shit about anyone when playing. (I know I personally sucked ass tho so lol) We're not chess pieces. You were not the player of the season and your speech reads as though you believe you are. That's TC or Toby. So, here's my question. Tell us how you screwed up in this game. You've made it VERY clear how you think you succeeded, but I'm going to vote for someone who can admit they are not a perfect player and still say they played better than their opponent. Also, don't tell us what you think we want to hear. If I smell jury pandering or bullshit in your answer I'm writing down Luca's name.

Whew, that was a LOT! Luca, your turn. I have significantly less to say to you because you're actually aware of how you played and open about your shortcomings. I don't need to repeat what we all already know. I think you played a good game and did a great job of playing the middle/hiding your loyalties until you didn't have to anymore. My main criticism of your game is that you've left several people feeling bitter or that they were kind of unimportant to you, which I think leans into the criticism you were gamebotty. There was also a time when a lot of people sort of viewed you as a goat and sort of TC's footsoldier, which I now disagree with (to a point). I don't really have a question about your game mainly bc I know how I feel about it. My vote depends on Timi's answer and the rest of FTC. So, my question is that if you could go back in time to change how you played the game, would you? What would you change, how do you think you could have played better? I'm just curious. Also, the same thing I said to Timi about jury pandering applies here. I don't like being fed bullshit bc people think it's going to make me happier. I'd rather have people be honest to me, I respect that more. Don't say things we've criticized you on unless you genuinely think it would have improved your game.

So uh that's my time. Sorry if I was a bit harsh, especially considering how (little) I played. I just don't see the point in holding back in situations where there's no point to do so. I wish you guys the best of luck. Peace out ✌
