The ones I called people out on, I was so meticulous in those games trying to addressing every little detail. I thought there was no way someone was going to beat that score.

Touchy Feelings I thought was a strategic move and not so much cheating. I thought people were working together and in previous ORGs that was considered good strategy. But I was wrong and since apologized.

For the Santa game that Rick won, I thought it was literally impossible for Rick to get 100 as I had counted no more than 53 houses on any given game play. I was informed of the double click feature and immediately apologized to Rick.

For the color scheme game that Diego won, I had literally gotten a perfect on every single move. In a couple rounds I got my perfects almost instantly and still scored no higher than 11. So to me, getting all perfects and a score of the 11 was the best possible. I apologize for accusing Diego of cheating on that one, but I honestly still have no idea how he got higher than 11. It still doesn't seem possible, haha.

For Cookie clicker, I was informed of your score at one point. That you had only 2 trillion cookies and at the time I had about 20-30 trillion already and my total was growing exponentially. Rick told me his game crashed and he only had gotten to 1 billion cookies. When I came in third in that category I was confused as I hit 391 trillion and had the game running the moment the challenge went up. I didn't think anyone cheated, I just thought something went wrong.

You out scored me on Hold the Button. In my eyes that was completely possible and I was impressed. The top score on that website was like 6 days. I did not claim cheating on that challenge.

There was a challenge early on, I think the Final 10 Immunity or Final 9 Reward, that I won and I was shocked. By my calculations, I put up a poor score and was going to get creamed. I announced my shock and thought maybe people didn't submit or something.

So although it only happened once, my disbelief in score results went both ways. I thought I analyzed each game well and had a good idea of how I would fare in those challenges. There are times when I wasn't the best score (mostly pre-merge), and I didn't call people out because I felt my score was beatable, times where I was surprised my score was best because I figured my score was definitely beatable, and times where I did flip on people because my analysis of the game lead me to believe my score was unbeatable. Unfortunately, people only ever got to see the negative reactions because those are the ones that surfaced.

Otherwise, thank you for not beating a dead horse and refraining from the negative attacks :)

I just want to know though, why not fight to make it to the final? That's what I was trying to provoke. You had run with us so far and I felt like you were just giving up after the Final Four. It disappointed me. I wanted you to fight and make a real effort to stay in the game, especially being so close to the end. Yeah I understand now that its just your personality and you weren't trying to be malicious you are good guy Tom no matter what the rest of them think and I know you'll be a great dad.
