Hey Alex, thanks for the question! I was really hoping to get the chance to clear this up.

I fully agree with what you said & trust me, I really meant what I said on my parchment to you (hopefully you knew it was mine). I'm someone who hates false promises, and when I made that deal with you I fully intended to follow through with it & honestly hate that I broke it. Hopefully you know from Kodiak that I don't just go around telling everyone I want to work with them unless I really mean it. I never intended to just make you feel like I was on your side, I literally meant it because I knew that at that point in the game we had similar plans and targets. When we merged I was legitimately excited for the chance to work with you and I'm honestly really sorry for how it went down. I know how much this game means to you and I really didn't mean for it to seem like I was leading you on or make you feel dumb at all and I really hope we get a chance to play together again so I can prove I can actually be a good ally.

It was leaked who you guys were voting for so we knew someone would be idoled out and when it came to choosing who the target was going to be there was a pretty clear consensus amongst a few of the other Formosa people that it should be you. I promise you that at that time, my focus was on attempting to target the last remaining pair in the game because of the advantage, and after your name was brought up I pm'd a couple of people trying to push the target that way, I messaged Syd and Ally saying we should do Shannon instead to weaken Mackie, I told Ally you'd be good to keep around because all the guys would target eachother before us. I had to accept it though because no one seemed keen and selfishly I didn't want me trying to save you to end up backfiring on me. I didn't have the control I would've liked during that vote, if I had then maybe it would've gone different, I can't say for sure. But even though I really didn't want to vote you out, I will admit it did actually allow me to get into that spot where I had a lot more control than previously because of how it split up Cordoba. Another part of my reasoning in eventually being okay with voting for you is nothing to do with the Cordoba thing, but it was that during that vote you guys told me to vote for Mackie, and it was then leaked that you weren't voting for him. I get why you gave a false name, it's a smart move, but obviously that shows that we maybe didn't trust each other as much as I'd hoped. If I'd voted for Mackie like you guys told me to it would've put me in a terrible position. Everyone was pretty set on you being the target and my vote basically didn't matter, but yeah I do regret not telling you what was going to happen, & I'm sorry for that.
