Trace, I don't expect your vote, but I just want to point something out quick to you and to the others here. Literally right after you left, I found I was targeted and the only way out was getting out an ally in Eden, there was no way out it would seem. But I kept my chin up, kept strong, took out the people I needed to take out, and advanced my remaining alliance all the way to the end against the numbers. When I was able to relax, myself, Steve and Zane all relaxed. But that isn't my full game and never will be. I knew how to kick it into high gear from beginning to end, get myself out of trouble, and get people to turn on their entire friend group and all of the people they can work with and then outwit THEM like I did w/Steve & Jino in the final 4, the Sulur 3 in the final 5, TJ's grouping in the final 7, helping a lot of others with their blindsides in the time inbetween and Hekla's miracle tribal council in the final 24, among others. I made big moves over the course of this game from start to finish, starting with Hekla and moving forward, I earned my spot here through TONS of work. Sure, it didn't involve you, because I was freaked out that if I told you anything, you'd tell Mitchell and he'd run to his allies about it, that's EXACTLY what you did the last time. I felt that if you were to assimilate, you'd choose my enemies in the game over me because that's who you've trusted with past information. Neither Steve or Zane made a big move at the final 8, the difference that separates me and them is, I got my alliance all the way to the end the best I could and flipped the game on its face multiple times, while Steve was kept around simply because he's less respectable than his allies. Could he have been blindsided 2-2-1 --> 2-1 by Zane and I in the f5? Sure! But Mitchell was a larger threat. Could he have been voted off 3-1 instead of 2-1-1 for Jino? Sure! Just Jino's more likable. His gameplay consisted of, he's a smaller threat than his allies, let's get his allies out and drag him to the end because he will have done nothing. He will have had tons of options to play with and gone through with 0 of them. He will have sat back and watched Markiplier while I take the game by the horns. That's my piece, I know you said your vote for me would be a miracle, but if Hekla's any pattern, it shows miracles do happen from time to time.
