BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING SABRINA, I'M NOT POSTING THIS INTO THE QUOTE THREAD AS I'M MOSTLY BRINGING IT UP FOR SPECTATING PURPOSES: REGI: yeah, not really. the only person i felt any real connection with was volc and turns out he just lied about everything when I actually completely believed him and thought I could help someone else who was going through a stressful time in their life and give good advice to. So I'm going to just give the same answer I got from volc to answer to this question at F11. Q: How did you find people in merge? A: Not very interesting. I FEEL LIKE, HONESTLY? THIS WOULD BE THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR ME AS A JURY MEMBER. THE FACT THAT YOU CAN SPEND SO MANY WEEKS WITH PEOPLE AND HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT ANY OF THEM WOULD SINK ANY CHANCE OF EARNING MY RESPECT OR VOTE. I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY POSTING STUFF LIKE THIS MAKES SENSE AS SOMEONE TRYING TO WIN A GAME. LIKE, YOU GET ALL THIS WAY JUST TO SAY "FUCK YOU ALL IM THE BEST" AND THATS IT? LIKE EAT A PIECE OF HUMBLE PIE AND SAY SOMETHING YOU LIKED ABOUT PEOPLE. AT LEAST DEO DID THAT. *SNARLS IN BELLOWING ANGRY* I am so flabberghasted Regi said this? WTF?

Reggie's performance in poipoi's thread and Uxie's thread just tanked his game I think. It's now between Deoxys and Tapu Lele

Night 2 I think I was able to come across as genuinely humbled by it which might help me with others if not with Uxie. This kind of breaks my heart a little because he's basically admitting none of it is actually genuine. If I was on the jury, I'd still probably vote for Deox tbh, because I'm still seriously impressed with is strategic game. But in my heart, Tapu winning would be a super awesome end to the season. The two powerhungry people who don't care about human emotions go at it in the FTC and tear each other apart, while Tapu who played an honest game sits in the sidelines and wins, calmly sipping from her coffee mug.

I THINK I HAVE AN OPPOSITE VIEW. I DON'T THINK DEO WAS ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE STRATEGICALLY AND TO BE FRANK, THAT SPEECH AND HIS FOLLOW UPS ARE GENERALLY OFF PUTTING TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD JUSTIFY SOME QUESTIONABLE, ALBEIT DECENT, GAMEPLAY. IF I WERE JUDGING EACH FINALIST ON THEIR STRENGTHS I WOULD GO: REGIGIGAS: FLASHY GAME DEOXYS: STRATEGIC GAME TAPU: SOCIAL GAME AND WHO PLAYED THE BEST OF THEIR RESPECTIVE STRENGTHS? WELL REGI'S BASICALLY SAYING FUCK YOU TO EVERYONE, SO HIS FLASH WAS CLEARLY SELF SERVING AND WAS DEVOID OF ANY ACTUAL CARE FOR A REALLY DECENT GROUP OF PEOPLE. YEAH NO. DEOXYS WAS STRATEGIC, HOWEVER ONCE AGAIN, HE'S BASICALLY SAYING THAT WAS HIS WHOLE GAME, THERE WAS NO DEPTH. TAPU WAS DEFINITELY THE PERSON WHO TREATED PEOPLE KINDLY AND ALWAYS WAS NICE, HOWEVER SHE WASN'T THE CENTER OR FOREFRONT OF THE FLASHY/STRATEIC MOVES. HOWEVER, THIS FTC HAS SHOWN ME SHE PUT THOUGHT INTO HER CHOICES AND ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS ACTUALLY HAD SOME PULL ON THINGS INCLUDING HER THOUGHTS ON THE CELEBI VOTE. SHE WAS A LOYAL, KIND, HONEST, AND GENUINE ALLY. OF THOSE THREE PEOPLE, MY CHOICE FEELS OBVIOUS. NEITHER REGI NOR DEO HAVE REALLY PROVEN THEY ARE MORE THAN 1 DIMENSIONAL PLAYERS AND ONLY REALLY RESPECTED 1 ASPECT OF THE GAME. TAPU HAS SHOWN SHE IS MORE THAN JUST 1 DIMENSIONAL AND OF THOSE THREE, I WOULD FEEL THE BEST ABOUT AWARDING HER GAME A VOTE. THIS IS, STRANGELY, SIMILAR TO SURVIVOR SAMOA IN A FEW OF WAYS. REGI IS THE FLASHY, LOUD PLAYER WHO IS DEMANDING RESPECT AND SAYING FUCK YOU ALL TO PEOPLE. TAPU LELE IS THE KIND, LOYAL PLAYER WHO WAS TRUE TO PEOPLE WHO HAD HER BACK AND HAD A MOVE OR TWO AND IS JUST A NICE PERSON. DEOXYS IS THE ONE COMPARISON THAT DOESN'T QUITE WORK BECAUSE CLEARLY NOT MICK WITH HIS GAMEPLAY, BUT THERE IS A SORT OF, 1 DIMENSIONAL ROBOTIC SORT OF WAY ABOUT HOW HE IS HANDLING THIS FTC THAT ISN'T REALLY WORKING FOR SOME KEY MEMBERS OF THE JURY THAT COULD DRIVE VOTES AWAY. AS FAR AS WHERE I CURRENTLY SEE PEOPLE: VOLCANION-EITHER REGI OR DEO, I JUST DON'T SEE HIM AWARDING LELE A VOTE. HE MIGHT VOTE REGI JUST TO SPITE THE REST? PROBABLY DEO THOUGH. MELTAN-TAPU WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF VOTING DEO. IM BASING THIS MORE ON HOW MUCH HE CHAMPIONED FOR TAPU. POIPOLE-IM HONESTLY NOT SURE. PRIOR TO REGI'S ANSWER, I WOULD HAVE SAID REGI, BUT NOW I CAN'T SEE WHY HE'D GIVE REGI HIS VOTE. MAYBE DEO? IT WOULD BE NICE IF POI POSTED ANOTHER QUESTION OR TWO AFTER REGI'S RESPONSE TO GET A FEEL. HOOPA-DEFINITELY EITHER DEO OR TAPU, PROBABLY LEANING DEO. COBALION-PRIOR TO REGI BEING REGI, I'D HAVE SAID REGI. NOW? I THINK KNOWING WHO COBALION IS, THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY AWARD A VOTE TO TAPU BECAUSE DEO SEEMS LIKE THE LAST TYPE OF PLAYER THIS PERSON WOULD VOTE FOR. UXIE-TAPU. THIS IS THE ONE VOTE I FEEL 100% CERTAIN WILL GO THIS WAY. CELEBI-I ACTUALLY THINK HE'S GOING TO VOTE TAPU DESPITE HOW THE F4 WENT. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE IF I WAS CELEBI I WOULD BE TAKING EVERYTHING SHE IS SAYING INTO CONSIDERATION. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF HE LIKED REGI OR DEO'S RESPONSES. MESPIRIT-NO CLUE. MY GUESS IS NOT DEO. BUT WHO KNOWS. MY BEST GUESSES ARE: VOLC-DEO MELTAN-TAPU POIPOLE-DEO HOOPA-DEO COBA-TAPU UXIE-TAPU CELEBI-TAPU MESPIRIT- RIGHT NOW I SHOW 4-3 IN FAVOR OF TAPU, BUT THIS IS IF THINGS GO THE WAY THEY CURRENTLY ARE. THAT'S ALSO NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE NEXT 15 OR SO HOURS OF THIS TC & FINAL SPEECHES. *STAT ROARS*

AND AFTER I POSTED THAT, POIPOLE POSTED. AND HIS RESPONSE CONFIRMS THAT RIGHT NOW HE WOULD BE INCLINED TO PROBABLY VOTE FOR DEO.

I think one thing we can agree on. Going into this there were two finalists and a goat. After all this, that's still the case. We were just wrong on who the goat was.

I think one thing we can agree on. Going into this there were two finalists and a goat. After all this, that's still the case. We were just wrong on who the goat was. I'M JUST A TOUCH DISAPPOINTED. I LIKE REGI'S CHARACTER AND I THINK TO THE BITTER END HE CONTINUED TO BE THAT CHARACTER. AND FOR THAT AND PURE SPEC ENTERTAINMENT, 10/10. I JUST HOPED HE WOULD REIGN IT IN A BIT FOR FTC AND CLEARLY I WAS DEAD WRONG ON THAT. I ALSO THINK DEO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SMASH THIS OUT OF THE PARK AND RIGHT NOW HE'S JUST NOT DOING THAT. IT'S INCREDIBLY UNDERWHELMING. BUT HE HASN'T COMPLETELY LOST IT YET. I THINK A LOT WILL BE DETERMINED IF HE CAN WISE UP TO THE KEY MEMBERS WHO ARE TRYING TO GIVE HIM OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE IT, I STILL THINK HE CAN WIN. I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN LIKE A MOMENT OF WOKE REALIZATION THAT HE'S STILL PLAYING A SOCIAL GAME AND CHANGES HIS TACTIC A BIT TO BE A TOUCH LESS ROBOTIC, RATHER THAN A GAMEDROID SELLING A GAME IN A MONOTONE VOICE THAT KEY MEMBER AREN'T BUYING. THIS TO ME, IS THE REASON WE'VE REACHED THE CONCLUSION WHERE TAPU HAS TURNED FROM GOAT TO THREAT. BUT I CAN'T ARGUE WITH YOUR THESIS STATEMENT *CRIES OUT IN PURE AGONY*

VOLC JUST VOTED FOR REGI. WOW. THAT WAS A VOTE I WAS RELATIVELY CERTAIN WOULD GO TO DEO. I DID SAY THAT HE "MIGHT VOTE REGI TO SPITE THE REST". GUESS THAT INKLING WAS CORRECT. WOW THIS GAME JUST BLEW WIDE OPEN FOR A POTENTIAL TAPU WIN TO ME. *SHOCKED BELLOW*

i haven't read anything since this morning, but i think i'm also probably a lele-voting type of juror
i also probably would have loved them during the game and so this would be 0% surprising.

I think if regi knows he cant win, he would want tapu to get it. Tapu voting regi at f4 earned respect.
Regi is going all out for the venting.
If tapu can capitalize further, this is the dream Australian survivor experience.

I would guess Celebi is pretty locked on Deoxys and so is Hoopa and Poipole. Mespirit doesn't seem like she would vote Deo ever but who knows?
Hoopa: Deoxys it seems like you might actually be, a robot that never cared about me? Deoxys: NEGATIVE HUMAN HOOPA. I AM ALSO A HUMAN. I BREATHE OXYGEN. Hoopa: Okay I believe you and all but, can you sove this captcha? Deoxys: HOW DARE YOU. I AM NOT A ROBOT. I HAVE SKIN.

CELEBI AND COBA ASKING THE EXACT SAME QUESTION IS A PRIME REASON JURY QUESTIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED IMO. *GROWLS IN GERMANIC TONGUES OF ANCIENT PAST*

4. Don't bring someone who has the exact same game as you within a 0.5 unit margin of error to the end because you will both get screwed by the spoiler effect. maybe try borda count as a f3 ftc voting next time? it sounds slightly better than fptp anyways you can have ties in borda however, and that's a problem

I THINK DEO IS TECHNICALLY SAYING EVERYTHING THE VETERAN PLAYERS WANT TO HEAR TODAY. IDK, WAITING TO SEE HOW TAPU & REGI RESPOND, BUT I THINK THAT POIPOLE & HOOPA WILL PLAN TO VOTE FOR DEO AT THIS POINT, WHICH STILL LINES UP WITH MY EARLIER ASSESSMENT. *DID A GROWL ROLL*

You know, maybe Tapu voting off Celebi instead of Regi was actually pure genius and the rest of us were just plain WRONG! Yeah, I think you're right. She knew what her strength was and brought 2 people along she could outshine in that regard.

This is the part they could use a trainer for tbh to tell them not to post a concession speech and give up in the middle

Describe yourself in one word.
Regi: "No." Deo: "Evolution." Tapu: "Trying."
They say a good FTC won't win the game for you but a bad one will certainly lose it for you. Reggie has proven the second half here, but I think Tapu has an excellent chance of disproving the first half. She absolutely hit the entire FTC out of the park.

TAPU DID WAY BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF FIRST TIME FINALISTS DO. THERE ARE SOME NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS, BUT HONESTLY? I THINK IT'S A TOSS UP BETWEEN HER AND DEO WITH REGI BEING THE VOTE TAKER OF AT LEAST VOLC.
FASCINATING. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THESE FINAL SPEECHES. I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW WHO WILL WIN AT THIS POINT. I STILL PREDICT 4-3-1 TAPU, DEO, REGI, BUT WE SHALL SEE.

Reggi's breakdown in Uxies thread was a little uncomfortable to read tbh. I was kind of hoping karma would hit him a bit but I didn't want him to end like this.
