I'll keep it short and sweet, as my opponents have done. I figure most of y'all have made up your minds already, and a bombastic last-minute speech won't change that.
First off, I'd just like to apologize for not having much free time to dedicate to this. It frustrated me to no end, but ultimately I gotta prioritize real life and my future career over online games, and that's just a fact. I've never held those priorities against other players, and I'm not gonna apologize for making that choice.
Far as I'm concerned, I played the best strategic game. My opponents have sold their games pretty well, and I can't deny that, but at the end of the day, I haven't seen any strong justification from either of them. Spencer might not have had an explicit pregame, but I haven't see anything to disprove that he prioritized his pregame friends above anybody else, for the entire game. I haven't see anything to disprove that he would never have gotten here if he was vulnerable, and a lot of his wins were based on luck. It's just that simple. I haven't seen Carter prove that he did much of anything other than to just hang out and vote how he was told. And hey, I could be wrong, but that's how I see it. I didn't wait to make moves until I was under the gun, and that's why I'm the only one out of this final five that can say that I made bold decisive strategic moves at some point before the final five.
And, yeah, my attitude might not have been amazing. I'm under a lot of stress. I get bitchy. That's life. I try my best to remain civil but it doesn't always happen. But should bitchiness really be a million-dollar personality trait? Should it be more important than playing a strong strategic and social game? Who knows, that's up to y'all.
At the end of the day, I think I played a solid game. I think that I've proven that, and that the moves that I made and the fact that I was in the mix and helping run shit all the way along should prove that I'm a worthy contender for the million.
Peace out!
