Postmortem: that player never answered the call

It was obvious that one of the final challenges would be "Major Test of Strength" a challenge I could have stood a chance against them in and Epona probably wouldn't (and would have afforded them a chance to survive to F3 even in the case they both lost) and sending me to jury would have just added more people who'd be partial to them. Yet, despite knowing all that and me literally saying that if they lost at 4 I'd vote for them, they chose to protect me, that's the level of devotion I inspired in them. goat i am.

I earnestly think that a game that got you to the end this time but would fail to 90 out of 100 times, is not more valuable than a game that would get you there say 50 times out of 100. Like it just confuses me that a game that lowers your rate of survival would be a better game than one that doesn't in the game of...Survivor. Like am I supposed to just jump across the chasm yelling PARKOUR because it looks cool when there's...literally a bridge right over there? That kind of idolization of risky behavior just sounds...well reckless and silly.
