Hey mods please seal us off from the Jury confessionals. Please don’t I rather enjoy having jury access. If nothing else I would love to opt-in on jury access.

Maybe Deoxys will come off so cold and Regi so toxic that the jury just has to award Tapu Lele the win. I don't usually enjoy when people vote against a player rather than for them, but any chance to get #TapuSlayLe trending I will take. From a stragetic view, I want Deo to win because I think he'd be the best winner. From an emotional view, Tapu Lele. If this was an actual season of Survivor, Regi would probably be the best winner because he was such a character. All winners in their own way~ I completely agree with all of this.
Speech length: Smaller the better.

I also give points to Tapu for having the only jury speech I read entirely.

OK I finally read Regis. It was entertaining but I suspect if I was a player backstabbed by him I'd be annoyed by the tone. I think the biggest issue is he makes Deoxys almost seem more of a power player than him in it. He mentions Uxie was his best strategic move, and very next sentence says deox flipped anyway so his move was pointless.

I read deox. It was a bit dry but it left me being convinced his strategic game was much better than Regi's. If he flowered it up I'm pretty sure he easily wins.

TAPU HAS A CUTE SPEECH WHICH MATCHES THE GAME SHE PLAYED. IT DOES SHOW AWARENESS, BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE THERE'S NOT A LOT FOR ME AS A JURY MEMBER TO GRAB ON TO. ALSO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE I'VE EVER INTERACTED USUALLY STATES THAT A LONGER OPENING AND A SHORTER CLOSING, SO TO SEE YOU ALL SAY YOU LIKE SHORTER SPEECHES IS A TOUCH BAFFLING HERE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE A LONG SPEECH, BREAKS, IMAGES, QUOTES, SOMETHING, YOU NEED SOMETHING TO BREAK UP THE AMOUNT OF TEXT YOU POST. CASE IN POINT, I COULD GET THROUGH REGI'S SPEECH, BUT DEO'S SPEECH WAS WAY TOO BLOCKY. IT ALSO WAS DRY TO THE POINT OF SEEING ROBOTIC.
NOW IMAGINE SITTING ON A JURY READING THESE SPEECHES. YOU ALREADY KNOW REGI IS A COCKY SOB AND LELE IS A CUTE, IDK WHAT I'M DOING, TYPE OF PERSON. BUT THEN YOU HAVE DEOXYS WHO YOU THOUGHT WAS THIS SUPER PERSONAL HUMAN OF A GUY, AS JURY MEMBERS HAVE STATED, WHO ALL OF A SUDDEN PUTS THIS ROBOTIC BLOCKY PARAGRAPH STYLE SPEECH IN FRONT OF YOU. OF THOSE THREE AND YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THEM, I'D BE MOST PUT OFF BY DEO'S SPEECH BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY MAKES HIM SOUND WAY LESS PERSONABLE THAN I THOUGHT HE WAS. IT JUST FELT LIKE THERE WAS ALMOST ZERO PERSONALITY IN IT.
I'M NOT SAYING THE CONTENT ISN'T GOOD, IT'S ARGUABLY DECENT. HOWEVER REFERRING TO YOURSELF AS JEFF VARNER AND THEN DRONING ON ABOUT WHAT YOU DID DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A SMART SPEECH IDEA FOR SOMEONE WHO PLAYED LIKE DEO.
JUST MY TWO CENTS *BELLOWS FIVE CENTS*

I would love to partake in the battle of speech ideas, but my crowning achievement as a speech giver is "posting a bland enough speech to not set myself on fire."

I MEAN FAIR THE ONE TIME I WROTE A SPEECH PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE SAID IT SUCKED. I'M NOT GOOD AT WRITING SPEECHES, BUT I'VE BEEN ON ENOUGH JURIES TO THINK LIKE A JURY MEMBER. *ROARS IN A ROARY TONE OF VOICE*

Is there any examples of a jury speech given by someone that is generally recognized as a fantastic speech?

I hate hate hate hate hate the long speeches I see on here. I keep my FTC speeches to a brief overview of my strategy in the game and how well I managed to accomplish what I set out to do. I think mentioning anything pre-merge from either original or the swapped tribes is usually worth a single paragraph, if that. Post merge, I will try to avoid leaving like a detailed explanation of my thoughts behind every single vote. I feel that if my strategy is well explained, it should be clear the approach I took to each round. If there was a game changing moment that I felt needed to be highlighted, I'd mention it, but other than that I leave it up to the jurors themselves. I want them to drive the conversation because ultimately the FTC isn't about the finalists, its about the jury getting in and asking the questions they want answered.

My favorite opening speech was Penners from One World.
Idk about best but it left a good impression

Considering my last speech was 8000 words and I had to spemd most of day 1 of ftc saying "oh just ignore that" I'd say keep it below 1500. I think tapu needs more but there speech is doing exactly what it needs to.

I think it needs work but it's the most earnest and enjoyable of the speeches I've read.

Tapu’s speech may have finally given me a clue at who she is. Looking forward to seeing if I’m right.

AS MUCH AS I PERSONALLY LIKED TAPU'S OPENING SPEECH, I THINK SHE'S GOING TO RUN INTO A MIX OF PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T RESPECT THE GAME SHE PLAYED. I'M ALREADY SEEING THE BEGINNINGS OF A JURY WHO ISN'T GOING TO VOTE HER. MELTAN WAS THE BIGGEST HOPE, BUT THAT OPENING QUESTION MIGHT BE HER DOWNFALL AS I DON'T REALLY SEE HOW IN THE WORLD SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND. SAD. *SAD ROAR*
