This game is meant to be laggy, the main challenge thread clarified this.
Also please put your item preferences with each submission.

 cryon bomb magnesis stasis a red rupee?!?! almost got it. not sure if it's kinda cool or completely terrible that after that whole resurrection struggle we're ending with a game that doesnt actually work. im glad it doesnt work maybe? since it means it doesnt matter if i suck at it or not? |

 i keep getting that one miss there near the beginning and having to start the streak over. but thats what im talking about in that ideally i could continue my streak the entire easy game portion as the rest of that demonstrates. however even if i succeeded with that, the complete collapse as soon as it gets hard is probably a dealbreaker? so im calling it, this is my score and im done while i still have a hand. jury wont be so bad |

lowly first boot magda here. to begin with, let me just state that during the course of my agonizing journey, i was fortunate enough to meet two of our finalists here today, but i only actually played with one of them: revali. to me, the entirety of the "game" i was able to participate in was encapsulated in that one single opening round. as a result, ive brooded more on that vote than anyone else has any reason to, and i am closely attached to revali through it. next: each of the finalists had their own unique path to get to the end... and although i walked almost none of those paths, reading the jury forum and the ftc carefully, ive concluded that revali's path was the only "pure" one: urbosa leaned heavily on challenges and advantages more than pure social survival, and although mipha played aggressively in her second life, she was reborn thanks to the resurrection chamber. meanwhile revali got through this bastard game full of advantages completed unaided. (channeling stephen a smith for this next word:) HOWEVER, here i am, a first boot, and im on the jury. why? because of this very singular game design. revali should not necessarily be rewarded for avoiding these facets of the game, just as the others should not be punished. if you consider all of the nonsense neutral and just accept that it happened, and then go on to look at the influence of each individual player, then, although i continue to believe revali played quite well, i actually think it was not the most impactful of the three games here today. DOUBLE HOWEVER, given that this is the game that was designed, and that we are accepting it, and given that this game design has put to me, who played but one round, the task of placing a jury vote, let me embrace the bias that this game has injected in me: i want to vote for revali because i liked him, because he played with me and was on my side, and because seeing him rip into kass even in the ftc over that first vote feeds back into my introductory paragraph and my natural preoccupation with what was of course my exit. and i also think the game he played was good enough to merit my vote. first choice vote: revali (fwiw revali, i think they were afraid to fill you in on it because the entire conceit of that vote was that you were allegedly pitting patricia and teebo against each other in diabolical fashion; if im only the second-hand target how do they explain the vote to you in a way that doesnt allow you to contradict the whole narrative?) vvvv IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS vvvv ah but if the general feeling is that the others have played stronger games than revali, then if any of my votes count for anything, it may in fact be my second choice vote. well, the rest of my "game" such that it was took place at the resurrection chamber. extinction island from actual survivor seems to be a place of intense bonding, a place where people coming out have their brains all rearranged and can only tell you that youll never understand what the experience is like. the resurrection chamber here... was nothing like that. ive likened it to a dentist waiting room: youve got a group of people sitting there glumly with headphones halfway in, just waiting around to see if their names get called. that was me for sure, i resented being held hostage by my own competitiveness and desire to win for multiple weeks. with my family (who i got buy-in from in order to play) looking at me with horror and pity i sat there dead-eyed playing simon to the tune of a 100+ score, only to have my hopes dashed by a knowingly completely broken game of flappy bird, that resentment increased. why hadnt i just quit before wearing on my loved ones' patience, and tried to play again sometime? because i wanted to get back in, even if it would come with an asterisk! certainly i was not going to give up... but simultaneously i was not particularly interested in having friendly chats or really getting to know the people that came and went while i toiled. mipha broke through that bubble by sending me a friendly PM, and we had a nice little chat. mipha seems to have also been a somewhat unlikely out in her first life, and played very aggressively upon returning. i wont hold resurrection against her despite my own distaste for it. (come on, you know this is coming at this point) HOWEVER, im going to go ahead and say i guess i rank urbosa above mipha, despite never meeting her, and despite her overwrought posts wearing on me (somewhat ironically, i guess). while i dont necessarily value the grind-style challenge wins (somewhat ironically again, i guess!), i think she had very strong reads and really controlled the game the best, protecting epona until the crucial moment, making a gutsy advantage play that meant she had to be vulnerable for a vote, winning the final puzzle challenge people knew was coming, and so on... much respect to mipha and the game she played, and not taking anything away based on her time at resurrection -- if anything, that might be a bonus -- nevertheless, it's:
second choice vote: urbosa
