still busy writing my opening statement! i cranked mine out in an hour last night when i couldnt sleep so its very messy and disorganized and i dont care enough to go back and fix it You don't need a speech. Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, walk up to the jury, give them a firm handshake, and ask for the win.

Between the other two returnees, who do you feel played the best game, and why? i'm going to be speaking from a biased perspective here, so you should really take my answer with a grain of salt, but because i got more insight into t/h's game and i was able to see the decisions that we made together more clearly, i feel like i have a greater understanding of the things that they did and an appreciation for that to boot. i don't have as clear of a view on what dark rey did because we weren't as heavily associated with one another as the hydra and i were, so that's something that i'll have to keep an eye on as this final tribal council moves forward. so if you're going to ask me specifically, my perception is that t/h played better given my comprehension of the moves that we were able to make (and the fact that they were never voted out), but obviously my word is not law and dark rey could very easily prove me wrong i am a returnee now then huh

I got mod clarification that I can reply to this. There's no question here. Just clearing up some things you said in your opening speech since you decided to dedicate it to trying to attack me not from within the game, but attacking the person outside of it. Feel free to skim this if you aren't Avocado. I never called you an idiot. I never said I hated you for the entire game. I never said you were a trash, mopey player.
This is you being a martyr and a victim once again. Even when making things personal, you're inventing things nobody said to try and wrap the narrative around yourself. You have taken two PMs from me, one in which I did say to enjoy second place because you were making a game losing decision and that I've disliked playing with you, and another telling you to just own your shadiness instead of playing the Woe Is Avocado game.
My dislike of you stops and ends at you, the player. How could I know you as anything but that? You didn't bother discussing yourself, your hopes, dreams, likes, dislikes, anything. You openly held contempt for those you didn't find useful. And you were just as schemey and mustache-twirling as anybody else in the game, maybe doubly so. That's why it's infinitely frustrating that you then would tuck tail and whine and complain about being treated unfairly and how everybody disliked you and make yourself into a victim. A martyr in only your own mind.
Yes, your open, shameless, gamebot playstyle rubbed some people the wrong way. You also made things too personal, like openly mocking Dave for saying "pithy retort" by implying he's some neckbeard. In a game this long and this exhausting, you didn't pretend to give a shit about the people behind the keyboard/screen. People told me what you really thought of me. Just had to stomach you because you kept hanging around. You're here partially because you did so much to irritate so many people that you started to be viewed as a goat at the end of the game because people would be bitter towards you.
In any case -- we can discuss whatever you want after the game if you feel personally slighted by my in-game contextualizing of your play. I disliked you as a player and wish I had not had to spend so many rounds with you the player. It has nothing to do with a personal attack on you, the person behind the keyboard, and if words said in a Survivor game about your playstyle are having a massive effect on you and making you feel like shit and all that, I think maybe you need to do some reflecting on this experience too.
Not once did I attack you as the person behind the game, but you did exactly that in your opening speech. You're right in the assumption that you will not have my vote under any circumstances. Before, on the jury, I at least gave it some percentage chance that could happen. The way you openly attacked me as a human being behind the screen in your opening speech shot that chance to shit, and I hope nobody else rewards your vitriolic bullshit either.
HAHA, HERE IS THE TOXICITY I WAS PROMISED!

You either die the hero or live long enough to become a villain.

Hello, Dark Rey! There are a lot of words that could be used to describe this game, but one of the biggest themes I'm picking up on is the idea of "control". You impressively managed to seize it after I left and it looks like you would have wrested onto it for the rest of the game if not for some item shenanigans. Can you tell me a bit more about how you managed to survive during the periods when you did NOT have control? What is it that put you here and the rest of your controlling alliance on the Jury? yo this is some BS dude the only reason dark rey is alive is BECAUSE of item shenanigans

So many critical moments in this game were just misplays from avocado....
why couldn't we idol maggie? because avocado got the idol why couldn't we vote rey over cleric? because avocado lied about his skill level in hive why couldn't we do returnees at 6? because avocado couldn't tolerate bees anymore why does cleric exist? because of avocado (then again idk if there was ever a good outcome there)
