Thanks for the responses. Just want to clear up first of all, my speeches weren't meant to drag you guys (outside of Hayden bc well someone has to), I just felt like your speeches went in the wrong direction and I wanted you to address that. Benj, love you man, I wasn't meant to accuse you of not playing to win, I was just trying to show that you didn't really make that the focus of your jury speech which is ultimately what we are voting a winner for. And reading back on my speech, tbf maybe I tried to downplay your game more than I meant to because you did play a good game, but my perceptions need to be backed up by solid evidence on your part which you didn't give in your initial speech so I wanted you to give some substance. You didn't really go where I was trying to push you to in your response, didn't want you to drag the other two or anything, just that I was wanting to see why you wanted to be sitting next to these two at the end and how you went about it, why you considered those your best options etc. But thanks for your response, it was very helpful.

Thanks Ashlee, like I said your strategic game was very solid and thank you for your social insights. I just wish I could get to know the real you as I feel like you build up a persona for these orgs to some extent that you don't want to make it clear who you like and who you don't like. And I'll apologise in advance for any mean things I said about you in my confessionals (hopefully I only did it in my thread and not in the forms so you don't get to see :P).

Hayden, wasn't meant to be personal. Great job on getting to FTC in your first game. Only said what I said because trust me, it will help in future games. If nobody is honest, then you'll fall into the same habits later on and wonder why your speech lets you down each time and you'll focus on certain game situations where you can use it to your advantage. So yeah, I'll rip apart your speeches, I'll highlight the flaws in your game, it's what I do. I did it to the others too, it's not that I'm trying to undermine your game. But I ain't here to just congratulate you all and tell you all you played amazing games with no insight. Otherwise then what's the point of these questioning speeches, they won't change anybody's mind.
