I'd like to offer a pre-game agreement that all contestants agree to picture eliminations happening in the style of The Glee Project:

Pecota for OWURG is probably not going to be a very popular choice with some of you, and understandably so - I played way dirtier in this game than I have in previous forums reality-showesque competitions. But the thing is, I deserve credit for getting and controlling the numbers - as soon as the game started, I contacted Vivanova about whether she'd be in to go to the final tribal council because I trusted she'd go there with me. As soon as she confirmed, I mentioned Murmur as a third, knowing how well we'd gotten along in AS1 and AS4, and as soon as I could pitch it to Murmur (after she made it back) we were in, and totally tight. That threesome could very well have gone to the F3 if we weren't too slow at F5ing for purchasing immunity - if I bought the 100, Viva bought the 125, and Murmur used her secret immunity at the start of today, Jeremy's out and Asiina's alone.

Quick hits since I'm writing more slowly than I imagined
- hiipfire, you were eliminated because of a miasma of nerves and people unwilling to step on toes, I'm not gonna take any special credit for that either way.
- Pmom, you floated a majority alliance to Murmur, who brought it to our alliance. That plus Little Mac being on the outside and willing to work with us gave us a hard 4 and a coin tiebreaker after I transferred mac coins.
- Magnus, I'd have stuck with non-aggression if not for how hard you were going after Murmur. That alliance was more formal and took precedence, so I snaked you. It's the game and it's gotta suck for you, but I think you'd understand the logic behind it.
- Mac, sorry we couldn't buy immunities fast enough. You know how I played the game from like vote 2 onward.
- Murmur, it had to be one of us, love ya~
- Asiina, like I said, you crushed challenges and didn't make any enemies. Going no-alliance floater is always a risk, and it came really close to paying off for you off of that drat yutnori corner.

Idk if there's q&a, but I'd love to answer stuff.

Jeremy, do you see the difference between this and the genius, where the format for the eliminated player is determined by the main match vs. a raw popular vote? I'd say this isn't the Broadcaster's Alliance shutting stuff, but more of a Survivor-type alliance where you know numbers will control eliminations heavily (I think nobody counted on so many immunities floating around in certain rounds, like three and potentially more in the auction).

I was told once by one of the finalists that your group never had a "leader". Was that true would you say? When you guys eliminated eachother how was that determined?

I don't think we ever had a designated leader - Mac volunteered to be the vote in elimination 4, he could have bought immunity but didn't. I urged Viva to buy it once you and Murmur were immune so the vote could be Mac (as he wasn't part of the original 3-person group) but it ended up that wasn't necessary. Kinda talking for Viva here, but she told me she trusted my game planning/execution better for the F4 challenge, which paid off pretty well since we both really clicked at Yutnori together. I called the vote between Murmur and me in our alliance doc a Sophie's Choicing on her part.
