Hi friends, congrats on reaching this point!!! I want this to be the first question you see, but the last question you answer.

I want to start this by saying that I haven’t really been in the jury chat at all. In fact, I’m not putting names of finalists in here because at the time of writing this, idk who y’all are. I got spoiled on the final five (thanks Jack…) but in general, I’ve been trying really hard to stay away from everything, I haven’t looked at the wiki, I haven’t read the ROPs (although I really should), and there’s a reason for that. I’m an English major at heart, and beyond the game you played, I’m always going to be more interested in the STORY of your game and how you sell it. I’ve seen amazing gameplay ruined by someone who couldn’t argue their case in an FTC, and I’ve won games I didn’t deserve because I told the best story. So I want you all to know that I don’t know what the other jurors are thinking and saying about you, I don’t know what you’ve done since I left, it’s entirely your job to convince me through the story you tell that you deserve this game. Everything I know about the game after I left is going to be coming from your opening statements and your answers to the other jurors’ questions. So take them seriously, even if you think you’ve already lost that person’s vote. You’re still competing for mine. Sell your case!

Now for my question, and again, I really want this to be the last question you answer in this FTC. I've never learned more about myself as a player and as a person than when I've been held accountable for my actions in these games, whether I'm respected or attacked. SO I want an honest assessment of your play style now that you've had to defend it. I don't know what kinds of questions, if any, anyone else will be asking, so feel free to include anything else you might want to say but didn’t have the chance to in here, as a catch-all. But more than that, I want you to quantify and qualify your game, define it. Sum up your journey, the roles you played, the archetypes you fit and how you defied them, anything you think you need to say to tell your best story, and the best story of the FTC.

And then finally, because orgs should at the end of the day be fun and beneficial for you and something you look back on fondly, I want to know from each of you what part of this game was the most fun for you? What are you going to remember from this game that will make you smile? And what have you learned about yourself through playing this season?

Again, congrats on making it to this point, kids. It was a hell of a game, thank you all for the ride.
