So I also don’t want this to turn into a mud slinging contest but I also want the opportunity to respond to some things that were said by Declan. First of all, Declan mentioned that I could’ve been in strategic control of the merge if I wanted to based on my alliance ties. Well, if I had been on the forefront of every vote, I wouldn’t have made it to final three, because people like Harrison and Jason were playing the “vote out the biggest threat” game. Also you said my biggest mistake was not me voting off Juliette, but rather that I didn’t vote for you, Nat, and Harrison at the first three votes. First of all, I did vote for Nat at 10. Second of all, by saying that my biggest mistake was voting for Juliette at 11, I’m also saying that I should’ve voted for Harrison. So yeah I guess you could put it that way but I already acknowledged that the vote at 11 was a mistake, and I literally did what you said I should have at 10 when I voted for nat. To say that I didn’t use my potential is simply not true. I tried to use my potential, but for one reason or another it didn’t work from round to round. In fact, the Nat vote at 10 would’ve worked had it not been for Eli trying to find a fifth vote. I advised against that, but he did it anyways. So I will say that I very well could’ve pulled off the Nat vote if it weren’t for circumstances out of my control. And yes we did play similar games in the sense that we both used bigger threats than us to hide the fact that we were actually doing stuff to get to the end. Yes I technically had more connections than you, but my connections, in particular Jason and Trey, were not really interested in working with me. The game isn’t all about who has the most connections. You can have as many connections as you want, but sometimes people just don’t wanna vote with you. At the jerry vote I tried EVERYTHING to get Jason on board with me but he just wouldn’t budge. Yes, you may have been on the right side of more votes than me but that has nothing to do with our gameplay, given the fact that you straight up told me at one point that your plan was just to vote with the majority. I willingly voted with the minority on more than one occasion, and I very easily could’ve voted with the majority on every vote if I wanted to, because the majority was always infinitely clear, but I chose to build up trust with my people instead of being perceived as a flipper like some of the other players had been perceived.

Phew, so I’m officially sidetracked now lol. I’m literally in the process of writing speeches for the rest of you as we speak, they’ll be up within the next few hours!
