Miphaaaaaaaaa!!!! I'm so proud of you for making it here. It's always great to see one of your BFF's make it to the end if you can't! I said this in jury land and I'll say it here, although many think I'm voting for you no matter what, I am going to vote for whoever I think played the best game. I want to vote for the player who made this game THEIRS instead of just bending to whatever twist happened and surviving round-by-round. so! Question time. Please note, I want you to give an answer for yourself, for Revali, and for Urbosa. What twist of the game did you anticipate and/or masterfully use to your advantage, and what was your biggest lost opportunity for making a big move? For you specifically, I'd like to hear of a twist other than coming back to life because I was there for it and already know what happened there (although it was impressive and proud of you). Hey I'm not looking for handouts haha. You rule Riju, regardless of where you vote. I enjoyed writing my torchwalk for you and I apologize in advance for my skeptical nature of you in my confessional lol. I just couldn't believe someone would be that nice and actually be genuine about it. Ohhhh kay so for your question. Mipha -Mine is easy although I do want to emphasize that redemption shouldn't be disregarded. Not that it is, I just see lots of people looking for me to explain my gameplay without redemption as if it's not a positive to my game when I think it very clearly is. After the first round and I gained the idol and saw all of the "idol hunt" situations, I predicted having a ton of items in the game. This wasn't exactly the most helpful thing as it just encouraged paranoia in myself and others but at least I was aware. It did influence my decision on things such as playing my wisdom idol and being willing to share my idol information with others like Patty with the hopes I could find other people with items. While the plan of revealing my idol didn't find me other items, it did help me build relationships so sorta win? As for my biggest lost opportunity, playing my wisdom idol hurt. Sure I stand by that it was the safe play but I really needed to keep that idol to stand a chance in the game without redemption. I wasn't going to be able to predict all my allies would get picked off and I would be left in a situation vs strong social players and none of them on my team.
Urbosa -She masterfully played into the game's challenges. She knew how to play each challenge to her advantage and usually blew other's scores out of the water. She even managed to predict the rubee thing wouldn't come into effect which, whether luck or skill, is impressive. I would say Urbosa could find a shortcut or hack to any challenge you presented to her and deserves praise for that. For biggest lost opportunity, I would argue not trying to push out Kass the round Hunnie went. I don't know everything about that round but from the sounds of it, she was at least considering it and if she was able to make a move happen there and still keep Hunnie, that would have elevated her status going into merge. I understand not doing the play as no one wants undue attention but Urbosa was mostly threat material because of challenge wins and needed to make some solid social plays too.
Revali -There were lots of swaps that happened in this game and lots of opportunities to make different alliances. Revali handled that better then I did at least as while I made friends with everyone, I kept my alliance level low because the last thing I wanted was people to figure out I was playing multiple sides. Revali seemed to be making deals with almost every swap he was on. Going into the opportunity, I think just jumping the gun on eliminations. I'll just use the Kass elimination since it's one of the most contentious eliminations but if he had led the charge against Kass then that would look outstanding for his resume. The counter push was on him so it would seem as if Kass, a relatively strong player, went in a 1v1 vs Revali and lost which could make some think that Revali has more pull then they thought. |

good job to all three finalists! youve all really fought hard and admirably in your threads, and i've been reading everything and still don't really know what im doing. had some big posts written up here but whatever... they only tangentially touched on you finalists so forget it. anyway, i went through the threads one by one and whichever one i read last i was like hmm you know, maybe ill just vote for this person... now that ive read them all, who knows... i guess maybe im leaning one way now, but i know closing statements are usually shorter so im looking forward to some concise but persuasive speeches about why your game was the best, from each of you

Hahaha Mipha, we have very similar confessionals about each other then!  I can’t wait to read your skepticism!! I wrote something in my confessional about how you brought alive a certain part of my game that I was trying to not lean into as hard: really caring about who I met. I know, for me personally, I wanted to play a little less emotionally and a little more logically/strategically. But there you were, making me believe good people existed in this game and I shouldn’t just use them for selfish gain lol. I do believe that jurors should stick to questions, however, so with that, I’ll ask my next question! When I gave you my idol in the partially dead realm, I selfishly hoped that you’d be able to use it to blindside someone. Can you please detail for me how you went into your decision to play the idol and share your thoughts on how that ended up? If you’ve already answered this I do apologize for missing it! |

This will be my last question, and it goes out to all three of you.
Bearing in mind what you know about me specifically - what is the single most key thing that is going to make me vote for you over the other two?
You can be generic or specific as you like with your answer.

I don't mind a little distraction, it's pretty welcomed  . I'm excited to see what we both have said post game lol Hmm yeah I was hoping I could do something with it too. In the end, it came down to safety. I knew that being a redemption player and not exactly the most well liked person in the game meant the idol would probably come into player earlier rather then later. Being forced to use it round 1 of my return would be terrible and winning immunity was certainly clutch. By the time I was an eligible target again at 6, I assumed I would be in the clear. F7 was a dangerous time as that push on Oven could have easily been on me. Epona/Kohga/Sidon likely viewed both of us the same way in terms of threats and there was no guarantee which one of us would be targeted. Turns out, I ever targeted to the point of being able to idol someone else out anyways but f7 was definitely the threshold in my mind where people were forced to focus on bigger names and not the redemption player. |

Also answer your own question please Just reminding you of this Sorry Link, didn't see you post that. What question would I ask... So many questions have been asked at this point that I'm unsure what would not just rehash the same topic. I would have asked me about Redemption and if I thought it was a fair mechanic to have in the game but I'm a bit tired talking about that so much. How about just... if you could have complete control over any round, which round would it be? I would pick F7 knowing that Kohga/Oven both have the means to take down Urbosa, it would be cool to use their items to tag team her and would feel like an epic gamer move. I like the counters that were available in the game, it just sucks because it requires such precision to follow up on. |

Bearing in mind what you know about me specifically - what is the single most key thing that is going to make me vote for you over the other two? You can be generic or specific as you like with your answer. Impact. Did I back up what I said I would do or was I all talk? Did I reveal a game plan or was I simply someone who floated to the end? I think you like evidence and want to know specifics not to mention you seem invested in Survivor as a whole meaning you likely have been on a few juries in the past. Being apprehensive about redemption makes sense as it's a mechanic that breaks a fundamental rule of the game of Survivor. I'm hoping that you won't be as straight laced as you might seem because this game is very much non-standard. So if you vote for me, I expect it will be because I was a strong presence who made good maneuvers and not just some chaotic floater that happened upon the end. I have a list of accomplishments and did a great job connecting with most players in the game. But I had faults too. Misplaying the idol on Heart Container could have been an out for me on Tarry Town but I stand by my decision to play it when I did as there were so many variables that could have eliminated me earlier. Getting eliminated by an idol sucks and I knew going into Tarry Town that things were going to be impossibly difficult trying to avoid situations like that.... No my game wasn't perfect, but I still played strong and played the game to my advantage and I just don't see that same level of passion or commitment or process from the other two. |

Hmm I was going to ask you all questions about my new favorite fanfiction troves but I ended up asking serious questions instead. How dull. What's something you're going to miss about each individual now that we're no longer pressured to continue conversations? Example: My quest to be flung deep into the ocean continues. Perhaps I'll spend some time illustrating it for later.
Perfection is overrated. Getting here is always a bumpy road anyways. I don't think redemption could have asked for a better representative.

Oven be more entertaining. Give me a funny Glados impersonation or something . Wait... do you have Glados fanfiction? I'll read the crap baskets out of that. It's hard to say I'll miss anyone when... we can just chat again on Saturday. I might even enjoy not thinking about the game until then haha, you should too! My goal in life is imperfection so I'm glad I at least managed that! I'm honored by your words and happy with my performance as a whole, regardless of the final results. |

It wasn't easy trying to figure out what to say here to end this game. I'm really just glad it's finally over and this is the last I'll need to think about it. While I enjoyed my experience and proud of the path I took to get here, I'm exhausted like I'm sure most of you are too. I'm not going to break down my game play anymore or state new reasons why anyone should vote for me. You all have seen so much and dug deep into each of our threads that I'm sure the answers you need are there now, plus some. No need to be repetitive about it or go through the whole, "Here's how I represented Power/Courage/Wisdom."I know I played a good game and this is probably one of my stronger performances in survivor so *self pat*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As for you lovely Jury, if at this point you are on the fence and unsure who to vote, I want to speak to you directly. All of the finalist have taken different paths to get here but the biggest deterrent I see to people accepting my path as valid is Redemption. This isn't exactly a surprise to anyone, I'm sure. Oaki and Oven both seemed bewildered that I managed Redemption differently then they did. Magda seems unsure that redemption should even be in games. Kass holds a similar belief I think. I get it, getting voted out isn't exactly good for your resume, even if it was an Idol that actually took me down. It didn't matter how I was eliminated, I don't think I would have reached the end without redemption because it put me in a losers position and opened me up to playing far more confidently. Besides, I seem to play best when fighting from behind. I just want everyone to consider this one thing before voting: I didn't break any rules or cheat my way to the end. There is nothing wrong with any of you going through redemption and getting a win out of it so please vote based on game play and not based on what twists you consider fair.I can sit here and debate all day that massive amounts of idols are far more broken then redemption is but that's not the point of survivor. Urbosa and Revali found their own way to the end, I'm just arguing that mine was stronger because no one can deny my determination and passion to working out how to win this crazy, unorthodox game. And who better to win a bastard, complex game, then the crazy, unorthodox player Mipha. No, I wasn't perfect. I played sloppy several times such as playing my heart container idol. I didn't do it randomly, I did it because I could sense the distance between me and my tribe plus I knew there were likely several more idols out there. I couldn't trust that Robbie wasn't about to blindside me or idol me out of the game and I will gladly make that mistake again. Point being, even my mistakes had rational but at least I acknowledged my shortcomings and used them to get to where I am now. Surely that makes me the definition of a Survivor? Thanks everyone for reading along and I'm so excited to join everyone in post game shenanigans! ~CYA~ |
