Openning Statements

[Jeff]

dragonomine, Frags, Yin, you three have lasted 68 days and have outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted 21 other players to reach the end. But you no longer control the game. The power has shifted to the 8 members of the jury that each of you had a hand, either directly or indirectly, in voting out: come2meok, entropy, The Alethiometer, Brennus, Philotas, Yang, Anthony, and Carol, voted out at the last Tribal Council. They will decide which one of you three played a game worthy of being called The Sole Survivor.

Right now, I would like dragonomine, Frags, and Yin to post their Openning Statements. After they have done so, I will create a new thread where the members of the jury can ask their questions or make a statement if they wish. Since not everyone is on at the same time, there will be no order the jury has to ask their questions and they do not have to wait for the previous juror's question to be answered before they ask their own. The finalists will get to the questions and answer them as they can.

Once all jurors have had a chance to ask their questions or make their statement, then I will close the thread and ask the jurors to start sending in their votes.


dragonomine, Frags, Yin, whenever you are ready, please make your Openning Statement.

[Frags]

Well, first off let me say that it has been an honor playing in this game with all of you. This game seemed to be all over the place and I really had to play a strategy that allowed for adaptations throughout the entire game. I must say that this was probably the toughest game that I have ever played in and that is because of you, the members of the jury as well as the two others that are sitting here with me, my hat is off to all of you excellent players and Thank You all for a very challenging game. I would also like to thank Jeff for hosting yet another excellent game.

I hope that through answering your questions, that you all will be able to see just how I played every step of the way through this game. From trying to figure out who was trustworthy enough to work with, to being a bit too much of a target and then having to back down and try to control the game from the backseat, to making a final move to allow me to be in this position right now. I can't wait to explain some things for you.

I look forward to your questions as well as your comments.

This has been a really difficult game for me on many levels. I was completely out of my element and it took a long time for me to get a solid strategy going. I think what made it the most difficult was that I could only talk to a couple people on AIM. It was impossible (for me anyway) to try to get to know everyone in PM. That's what really sucked. I like to get to know people and who they are. But in this game it was impossible so I only trusted those I could actually talk to on AIM.

There were 2 people in this game I trusted 100%. Yang who I betrayed, and Yin who I would have never voted out. Carol and Frags I trusted to an extent. Moreso than any of the other players.

I'm sure I'll get slammed by a few of you. ;D But I'm not gonna sugar coat anything to try to sweet talk your vote. I will answer as honestly and with as much detail as I can. I would love to get your vote if you think I played well strategically. But Yin and Frags deserves to be here as much as I do so I won't say anything against how they played. I played the way I felt was strategically right for me so as to try to get myself to the end and have the best shot possible at winning.

That's about it! Good luck with the questions and making your final decision. Thanks to Jeff for hosting and accepting me as a player!

Hello Jury, I'm terribly sorry to keep you all waiting. I won't bombarde you guys with the same old bull that you usually get, I don't resspect ALL of your gameplay, there are a select few such as yang and anthony that I was intimidated by, but still was sure to have you voted out, but really I would appreciate some great questions from you guys since really you guys fared well against some 24 players in this game, and for that I congratulate you all.

Have no fears I will be completely transparent with all of my answers tonight, as I have been transparent for the majority of this game.

Thank you for your time.
