Acting Disasterclass

I came into this ORG has a fairly late sign-up, and what appealed to me most and drew me in was the format. I'd had somewhat of a revelation recently that I haven't played an ORG just for the sake of just having fun. I mean, I always have had fun but the focus has been on success. This time I wanted enjoying the ORG to be the prime focus and I felt an ORG with varied formats would give me the opportunity to do so. This was very much why I spent the early part of the game making jokes about a sexual tryst with Skye which turned into a threesome with Izzy but which was an avid failure due to stage fright suffered by my 'leading man' which was then chemically resolved by Trevor. I was looking to entertain but equally I was just having fun with the character and the format. And yet, despite achieving my primary goal of having a fantastic time and so much fun with all of you and the format, I find myself here at the final, one step away from success.

In my view, I have been a very prominent player in this ORG and I feel that but for the format (and the fact that was immune in one way or another in almost every round), I might not be sitting here. Players like Diana and I went through this game with the target of being tribe captains compared by gif to Boston Rob and Evil Russel. Neither of us shirked away from that and instead embraced it as players that were at the forefront of leading groups and compiling alliances.

• I had excellent social connections with almost everyone, no door was ever closed and I could work with anyone.

• I was immune that round (as I was for many rounds) which in some cases resulted from those social connections but also my challenge skills.
  
  

• A lot of hard work and a pinch of luck.

Using that merge round as an example, and the social capital I had built at that point, I had a locked in ride or die connection with Diana dating all the way back to when I invited her to my lodge and then our time on the Defence. Richard and I did not hit it off immediately (we got on well but it was a bit cagey), but we were brought together by Queen Izzy who I was very tight with back in the Defence and we both mourned her removal from the game, which speaking frankly was probably the most bullshit boot in the whole ORG.

Margaret and I bonded in our week in the ocean together as well as the time in my lodge and accordingly, she and I were very close coming into the merge round. Camille, who had just returned, and I were also connected from our time in my lodge. Going back to my lodge, I used that round to set up my post swap position and from the connections there formed a very strong alliance with Izzy, Skye and Diana. At the start of the game, I used our mutual efforts in the Flight Plan to build bonds and form an early alliance with Scrooge and Skye as a power three with Jon Joe and Annie as our group of 5.

Even with my Husband Robert here, we were never formally aligned but we had a fantastic working relationship built through our time in the ocean (noting that I held off eating Margaret in the last round so we could both chat more with him) and of course our marriage and then the formation of Herod's Harem (which as an aside was an incredibly fortuitous grouping noting that the Harem consisted of Herod, Wiseman, Donkey and Mary and that the three of us Scrooge, Diana and myself already had a super tight alliance established at that point, so the ability to add my Husband to the mix was just very lucky as he did not know that he was brought in as a fourth to an incredibly strong trio).

The core principle here, as I hope you can see, is that I used each and every format to better my social relationships, build individual connections and more so, build alliances which would keep me safe deep into the game.



So going back to the merge round, could Joe have taken me out, even if he'd taken the weekend to plan it. I don't think so? While I was seen as a big target and a fantastic option for a 'big move', I could not see him being able to make that move given the social capital I had built as it would have required him to flip both Vanessa and Margaret.

But even if he could get the numbers, he couldn’t make the move, because I had been removed from the vote. That was the second aspect of my game that led to my success. I ensured that I maximised every chance I had to be immune in each and every round. Normally being immune in an ORG isn't that important where you have the kind of social connections that I had formed in this game. However, in this ever-changing format, every new round seemed to create such a risk of being unfairly dicked out of the game through no fault of your own. Plenty of people with good connections and good games were eliminated unexpectedly. The best examples being Skye, Camille, and Izzy who were very strong and well-connected players when they got booted. The same applies for Margaret who wouldn't have got booted if we knew she was Gabriel or Croc who I think would have survived but for Deer Head being immune and Scrooge being removed from the vote. So, with that in mind, I focused on ensuring I was immune as much as possible. Obviously, that was everyone's goal but I was highly successful in it.

In the 13 rounds I played I was immune in rounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13. The only rounds in which I could actually have been eliminated or was up for elimination were rounds 2, 9 and 14. I was never in trouble in round 2. In round 14, I came second in the immunity challenge and won fire-making. In round 9 I was eliminated and I will speak more on that later. There was some luck in some of these and skill in others. And certainly, social connections played a factor in many of these immunities and you often had to rely on people to 'save' you or at least avoid 'taking you out'. However, whether it was by social relationships, challenge skill or luck, it was always my first and foremost goal to ensure I was safe from the vote and I can undoubtably say that I was able to do that better than anyone, having been immune so often.



The final key to this game was luck. I will not deny that being lucky helped in this game. No matter your social connections, if you found yourself in an unlucky spot, you could get knocked out of the game in the blink of an eye. As I said, Izzy was the unluckiest in that regard. But the same applied to everyone in the game at various times. The tribes you ended up on, the little rooms you were put in, the role you got in the fish game etc. A lot of this was based on luck and I won't deny that, at times, I have been lucky.

However, I also put myself in a position to maximise my chance of minimising bad luck through my social connection and my efforts in challenges. I worked extremely hard every round of this game to ensure that I could position myself as best as possible for the round. I am not saying that Diana or my Husband did not work hard themselves. Every one of us at the end game put in the work. No one here has been dragged or is a goat. But I just wish to highlight how my hard work resulted in me being here before you today.


I had fantastic working relationships with everyone in the game. Some were better than others, but I worked to ensure that I wanted to be someone who people thought they could work with if they needed to. When it came down to actual alliances though, I had two and they were the most important to my game and my success to this point.


My first was Scrooge. On Day 2 of round 2 (my round 1), I told him that he was my number 1 and I'd stick with him to the end of the game no matter what. And even though we got separated soon after that, that was a relationship that stuck true. And while we were separated, I made no secret of our relationship. I saved him in the group chain and we worked hand in hand in the fish game, so much so that he later told me a hilarious anecdote about how for the third round I told him that the group of prey were heading to the ocean and that he should go to the Kelp Forest to eat Shawcroft with confirmation that Plate was the Pufferfish. However, at the same time Shawcroft told Scrooge the same information and told him to go to the Coral Reef to eat me. Apparently Shawcroft was none too pleased when the Orca came swimming into the Forest and I understand may have even threatened to throw himself on the pufferfish grenade just to deny Scrooge a meal that round and kill them both. Scrooge ultimately went without eating that round because I couldn't secure his last meal. But we were always in contact in that fish game and we were always close, even when we were apart. Scrooge and I were together and trusted each other hand in hand, every move of this game. He was a fantastic ally and when I posted those pictures of Tony and Sarah in fire-making it wasn't just because of the epic showdown we had. It was also because of the amazing bond that we shared.


When we reached merge and I could finally speak with Scrooge again, I immediately made a group missive with Diana and Richard, who I was working very closely with at that stage, and straight up said, this is my crew. I love you all and we are going to the end. And that group of 4 really did control the merge for the rest of the game until unfortunately Prooge had to fight each other to the death. I would alos note that Margaret and Vanessa were also included in that group based on the work Diana and I put in in the merge round to make a core 6, but unfortunately we unknowingly removed Margaret in the closed ID round and at final 5, Diana and Scrooge preferred to keep my husband over Camille, which was not my preference.


My other close ally was Diana. We met when I invited her to my lodge in round 3. We immediately bonded. Part of it I think was her response to my opening posts in my lodge where I did this whole bit about inviting Skye because of my not-so-secret romance/alliance with her, but that the gaffer had invited the wrong people and when they arrived, I was caught with my pants down which led to the flaccid/small penis saga which I dined out on for the rest of the pre-merge. But the other part was the bond we formed in sharing ideas and mutual love of the way each other played. Also, I probably scored some brownie points when I immediately dobbed on Shawcroft and Trumpet when they schemed to boot out Diana that round. Diana and I worked hand in hand from that point on. We were together for every round of the game from then on and we had absolute trust and commitment to each other. She is an incredible player; I think we all know that. And our alliance was 100% a 50/50 relationship. Any moves we made, we made together and I am happy to acknowledge her in that. On a selfish note, I would also suggest that she was my shield this whole game. I think that I was seen a big player, but she was seen as bigger. And having that shield was always my key fallback in the event I couldn't be immune.

Now some of you will suggest, and rightly so, that a shield strategy only works when you get rid of the shield before FTC. But while she may have been seen as the slightly bigger target than me, I always felt confident in taking her on here at the FTC. She is a great communicator, but so am I and I have no fear in going up against the best here. And I wanted the Final 3 to be my core of me, Scrooge and Diana. That was my intended approach going into the final round. Had I won the final immunity, I would have taken Scrooge and put Diana in fire making with Robert. I was secure no matter what going into that round of course. Diana was taking me if she won. Scrooge was taking me if he won. And I obviously had a great score in the recommended tasks. But if I'd managed to squeak out the victory there, we would have seen Diana go in a battle with Robert.

The problem is, Robert won immunity. So, the plan went to shit. But the fact of the matter is, I wanted to go to final three with Diana and Scrooge but even though Robert had the same intent with regard to his intended final 3, I feel it was a significant misplay to take Diana and send Scrooge into the challenge. Scrooge's story in this game was one of constant battling. Whether it was where he struggled to find a landing in the prosecution, or his challenges in playing the difficult role of the Orca in the fish game and later his battles to stay alive when often up for elimination such as the ID guessing round or the epic battle he had with Richard in the escape. That has been his story. Sending him into the fire-making with me only gave him a final opportunity to put an exclamation mark on the battler story. As for Diana, similarly to me she has had a strong social game, such that, like me, people have saved her when they shouldn't have. Any once again, Robert's choice here was to save the most socially connected players in the game and show her influence. In my view Diana should have battled and Scrooge should have been taken, but my husband is entitled to his decisions.


And going back to Robert winning immunity and fucking up the plan, the fact is, we should have taken out my husband at the final 5. Camile, I am not sure why you thought I was not being genuine with you on your boot. I know that you were working up Scrooge and Trumpet to take out one of me or Diana, with a preference for Diana. My plan was always to take out Trumpet. I only had a working relationship with him and I knew we was excellent at the challenges. I felt he was the only one that could beat me in the final challenge and I wanted him gone for that reason alone as that would permit me to ensure I was able to achieve the final 3 that I desired.

I pushed this with Scrooge and Diana but they wouldn't budge. Scrooge was convinced that Camille would win the whole damn game in she was at the end and Diana was annoyed Camille were targeting her and felt that she didn't deserve to be in the F3 over Robert. Diana even postulated that Camille had made up the whole Joe plan to boot Diana/Me back in the merge round, and I had to cool her down by telling her the truth, that Joe had confirmed that to me as a legitimate plan while at the Edge of Redemption and he had no reason to lie there.

Sadly, despite my best efforts, the damage was done and I could not move the vote. Yes, I could have saved you Camille with the immunity but then I would have gone because I was getting the second least votes because everyone knew I had immunity and wanted to save their poem lines for the recommended part of the round. I also could have targeted Diana with you, but I was not going to take out one of my best allies who was also an excellent shield and go into a final 3 with Camile, Scrooge and Trumpet, because at that time we had no idea that it was fire-making, and in the event, there was another boot, I am pretty sure both of Camile and Robert would look to boot me, in that scenario, at final 4. I think I was pretty open to you, Camille about my reluctant to vote Diana there and the reasons for it, no not sure why you thought I was being disingenuous and I look forward to speaking more about it over this FTC.


I think that it is appropriate I address both the good and poorer parts of my game as I embrace all of it.

On relationships, I'd say the only person I didn’t get to build amazing bonds with who is here in the Critics Corner was Annie and that was because we literally couldn't chat in PM or even a small forum for almost the entire game. It is kind of funny though because in the early rounds at OG Suchet, I actually didn't have the best vibes from Annie, but I could tell that her and Skye were close and I wanted Skye to feel good about our group and me, so I just told Skye I loved Annie which Skye then reported back to Annie and suddenly we had a fantastic relationship where she was comfortable pushing a Smythe vote on me. I really strongly preferred for Plate to go that first round legitimately because of his attitude in the challenge, but Annie was dead-set against it and Smythe didn’t mean enough to me to push for him to stay. Given this strong beginning to our relationship, had we a chance to properly PM I think that Annie and I could have built something really strong in the same way that she and Scrooge built a good bond on the prosecution, but due to the format it was not to be.

As for mistakes, I made in my view, two of note and I'd like to address them.

The first was ignoring Plate in round 3 when he asked about the plan for the round. Now obviously, this was a mistake in the sense that it damaged a relationship and perhaps made it harder for me to work with him. But still if I hadn't of done it, we all wouldn't have got to see the phrase 'David Suchet can suck my soapy ceramic plate dick' which is by far the best fucking phrase said in this entire game and if it not the episode title of that round you've got rocks in your head HR. I learned from this mistake right there and then, in that I realised that in this format I needed to be as upfront as possible and be honest. I believe that is what Annie did that round with Plate and their bond got stronger and stronger from there. So, I reassessed how I approached the people that I wasn't as close with and sought to ensure an honest approach where possible. Given there was not a risk of idols or other advantages for most of the game, there was no reason to snow people and I figured it was best to just be honest.


And still even with Plate and the great dragathlon, despite everything you might have heard, he wasn't even going to drag me in the end (if he could have dragged from the 'safe' fish). I spent a long time working up a bond, starting a fresh relationship with him as soon as the fish game ended and he eventually told me that the drag Suchet discussion was a ruse and he wanted to something more shocking. I think this was 80% him wanting to make a move and 20% on the effort I put into the relationship there. I know Plate isn't with the critics but Scrooge knows about this and I believe Plate filled in Annie about it as well if you want to fact check. For most of that round any 'fear' you heard from David Suchet as to the risk of being dragged was me playing along with Plate's plan. I was not at risk and I knew it quite soon into that boot phase.

As for who Plate was going to drag if he could drag anyone and it wasn't me? Well, I told people close to me that he never told me. But he did tell me, and it was Diana. Did I feel horrible that it was me or her? Yes. Did I fight Plate on that plan? I did not. After all, as I think we all learned in this unpredictable and unlucky game, more so than any other format, in this game you always had to look out for number 1, first and foremost. And I think everyone did that from time to time. Even on that round when I asked Scrooge to see if he could get Diana to move the vote off Plate so as to keep me safe (obviously before Plate had confirmed with me that he was not dragging me), Diana came back to him with a hard no. She later told me that she was certain that I was safe and couldn't be dragged. But could any of us be actually certain in this crazy game about anything? No, I don’t believe so. Especially when the HR was being intentionally vague. But still I did not hold a grudge against Diana for not moving the vote of Plate even if was at risk because doing so might have put her at risk and as I said we all had to look out for ourselves first and foremost.

And looking out for myself is what I thought I was doing when I gave myself the most time to complete the rotation challenge, which I promptly failed by 8 seconds and was booted from the game. Leading here to my second mistake. Getting booted. I can't defend that. I got booted. But I was booted for my own 8 second mistake in a challenge where the HR told us we'd have heaps of time in first spot, and ultimately the challenge was pure luck and on that day I wasn't lucky. I was not voted out. I did not finish last on a chain. I wasn't even dragged. I just failed a luck-based challenge by 8 seconds.


But getting back in the game had nothing to do with luck. Getting back in was all social and that is where my game thrived once again. First, I had the support of Max the Croc. Max and I had a wonderful relationship going back to his room in round 3 which was essentially just me, him and Scrooge (because Tootles posted the one standard turtle video and fucked off as usual). Again, he was a player that was on the other side for all the premerge and the merge round where he was sadly voted off, but he and I were close the whole game. He saved me in the chain, let me eat him in the fish game and I felt we had a great connection. And here he continued to be a great support in the battle back round. As was Deer Head who I only just got to properly meet at that point. Both of them were happy for me to come back in the game, so I was a bit lucky there but in the case of Max I feel our social connection played a part. And of course, I then applied my social skills in winning immunity as the Wise Man to ensure my return. I worked really hard on that that weekend and it paid off with another immunity victory. And I think this speaks to my social game in that I could take on an entirely new character/persona which most people did not identify as Suchet and manage to form an alliance and get enough votes to be immune.


However, I would like to acknowledge that both Max and Deer Head were fantastic allies in this round. Not just in saying I could return to the game, but being a sounding board for ideas for how we played the Wise Man and who we voted for holiness etc. I may have sent almost all of the missives (although I did love jumping in and seeing the one Max had written to Herod not only being the only time in the entire game, he posted in words but doing an amazing job of building on my overt sexting telling Herod to 'just fucking motorboat me already', and Deer Head sent a couple that were fantastic for the building of relationships in that round as well. I don't even know why they were helping with the missives even if it was just a couple of them, if they didn't want to return to the game, but I think it just speaks to how fantastic they both are as people.


Speaking of 'fantastic' people, immunity was won, and my old mate Joe shows up with the ultimate troll ride whereby, after once again a relaxing weekend away, he decides he wants back in the game and starts posting away in our mutual thread (for those unaware, the return condition required the Wise Man not be voted out and if achieved, the returnee would be the person who posted the second most amount in our thread). Joe was actually quite funny and I can laugh about it in hindsight only because I actually got back in, but I can say that at the time I was honestly very annoyed at Joe, but I think he knows that and enjoyed it. I'll also admit Joe had some funny trolling bits at this moment referencing a revenge plot on OG Suchet because Skye ruined the make up a song challenge in round 2 and also how he was doing it for Mick the Muscle whose apparent dying wish was that Joe win this whole game. I don't actually know if Joe was trying to get back in the game, because there were times, he could have posted into second (like when Deer Head posted around 2 am my time) and ultimately Joe posted his way into first, thus leaving me in a clear second. But if Joe's goal was to troll me and keep me awake until 5 am my time, then he succeeded and succeeded well. Whatever Joe's reason, I am glad he did it. After that round I was determined as ever to win this game. I fought and worked so hard to get back in that weekend, no sleep, sexting all weekend with everyone, that after that I was not going to go down easy and certainly not by a dumb 8 second mistake.


And that's what I did. From there I played to win. I still was focused on having fun but I from that point on I was also focused on winning. I was immune in one way or another every round from then on until the fire-making and a lot of those challenges were more traditional ORG style changes which required skill. And now I sit before you hoping to win one more time. I want to be an open book here so ask me any questions you wish. I will be entirely honest as I have tried to be for the majority of this game. I will also try and have fun with this FTC and your questions because that has been my approach for these last 6 weeks.

I will not pretend that I know what a lot of you want to read in order to award your vote. It may be that many of you have made your mind up. Diana is an incredible player. And my Husband is no slouch. They are both worthy of votes but I strongly believe that I am most worthy as this game required social connections, hard work, challenge skill and a bit of luck and I managed to bottle all four and making a portion of success.

The funny thing about ORGs is that we are all so highly focused on the game for a month or so and then the game is often forgotten. I will be happy so long as I am remembered by you when you look back on this ORG has someone who had fun and made it fun.

My thanks to my fellow Nominees

I want to start by thanking my fellow nominated actors. The wonderful Diana and my husband Robert. I've seen a FTC or two in my time and I much prefer it when they are respectful. I really appreciate the way the three of us have focused on building up our own games as opposed to tearing each other's down. Thank you both for your friendship in the game and your cordial approach here.


Next I want to thank all of the fantastic players that couldn't be a part of the FTC. Max the Plate, I think you will get a real kick out of my confessionals. There is a bunch of people breaking plate gifs, but then there is the plot twist where we become besties and then a bunch of plate repair gifs. I don't know about fel-pla-tio, but I'd be happy to shake your soapy ceramic plate hand when this game is done. Mick the Muscle I never met you, but your ever presence as a non-invisible player has baffled me for weeks. Also thank you for the support you gave Joe and then myself in stumping for our success. Smythe, thanks for your early friendship and support. I am sorry that I couldn't save you. Smee, I never met you, but thanks for playing. Tootles thanks for the turtle video, I guess. Trevor, thanks for the Viagra. Isobel and Skye, thanks for everything, and I do mean everything, especially the morgue sex party. No offense to any one else in the Sub-Actor crew, but the two of you missing out on merge is such a tragedy for this game. Skye thank you for the early flirtmance on which I built most of my character and shtick. And thank you my Queen for taking that joke and running with it. I shall forever be your 'Limpy'.


I said in my opening that I wanted to have fun with this FTC as I have sought to do this entire ORG. So I also wish to specifically first thank the Critics who sought to have some fun with their approach to their question.

Thank you Max the Croc for the chance to step into your shoes and post the way you posted. I always had so much love for your approach which some of us labelled as 'method acting'. I always loved our interactions and it was a fun opportunity to try out your 'method' even though I fucked it up on the first occasion. I truly would have loved to see you prepare a FTC speech using that method. It would have been one for the ages. You gave me so much in this game and never asked for anything in return. You are amazing.

Thank you Joe for being Joe. Although at times I wonder what happened to the lovely neighbour I had in the pre-merge and as to exactly who is this absolute troll beast he became. But you're fun. You're having fun with the format, the character and with me and I appreciate that. And I appreciated the blank slate in which you allowed us to converse with you here.

Thank you to Shawcroft for allowing a little throwback to his post liking antics. I do hope all is well.

Thank you to my bestie Scrooge. True no. 1, ride or dies, don't come around that often. You were amazing to play with. Thank you for being a fiend, an ally and a confidant. You were just the best here. I wish I was sitting next to you. Thank you for just, everything. I can't wait to chat after the game. And thank you of course for your fun little letter writing exercise. That was fantastic.

Thank you to Camile. I really enjoyed the poetry round as well, so thank you for giving me a chance to have some more fun with that format but also reflect on one of my favourite rounds of the game. I hope that no matter how you are planning to vote, you have been able to see that I was being genuine with you in that round.

Camille's FTC question actually leads me really well in to next group I wish to thank. Thank you to those of you in the Corner that asked questions that allowed me to flesh out some of the rounds I didn't go into detail in my opening. I feel its best to not write full chapter and verse in an ORG FTC open, so I do very much appreciate that opportunity.

Thank you to Deer Head for your great query about a round we could have missed and allowing me to go into detail on the week that was the fish game. That was a really inciteful question. You and I never got a proper chance to connect in the game, but funnily enough I did get to know you a little at the Edge. Scrooge had mentioned that you had a sharp mind and that you would often 'think outside the box'. I think this question was such an outside the box idea but also so inside the box at the same time, given some people in this game (no one at FTC though) did miss rounds through elimination.

Thank you to Annie for allowing me to go into detail on the Flight Plan as well as the second Nativity round. It was great to relive some of the early parts of the game where I was still finding my feet and to give you some background on how I approached the early game. People probably wouldn't often ask about round 1 or 2 in an ORG like this, but it made perfect sense for us to rehash that given it was really the only time we were able to properly play together. I may not have 'got' you at the beginning. But it seems that you really did 'get' me in terms of your questions around fun v paranoia and I appreciated the chance to further elaborate on the way I tried to play this game.

Thank you to Margret for giving me the chance to break down the first Nativity round. I had a lot of focus in my open on what I had to do in the battleback that round and not as much on the work I did as the Wise Man to secure immunity. You were absolutely hands down in my end game plans at that point (and were in that positon from the Fish Game onwards). My final 4 was certainly you, Diana and Scrooge. I felt you were always honest with me and I am our communication styles really clicked. I am sad that in my attempt to disguise my ID with a weird demon baby Jesus and over the top sexting that we didn't connect as well that round and that I didn't know I needed to switch my vote from Joseph to you in order to save you.

Thank you to Richard for giving me an opportunity to further break down the second Nativity round and asking a tough but very fair question, that being, if Diana and I were together lock step then what differentiates the two of us and how can the jury vote for one over the other? I did consider dealing with that in my opening but I was hesitant that our difference would not be as I said, a winning argument and I was not certain that highlighting Diana's great performance here was a smart move. But your question made me reconsider. I cannot deny that Diana was great here. We all know that. I do feel I was pretty great as well and I felt that in this game it was better to be the man behind the woman swinging the axe than it was to be the executioner myself. Diana's FTC here has been a bit of an apology tour of sorts. I don't think she is pandering to any of you with that. I feel she is genuine in her remorse, it’s the sort of person I think she is. However, I didn't need to make any apologies as I didn't break any promises. I didn't unnecessarily snow people and I tried to be as up front and honest as I could. And I did that by letting Diana take the heat and admittedly perhaps get more of the visible the credit for the move. In this format, more than any, you had to have as many strong relationships with everyone and not be at the mercy of one player you might have pissed off by snowing them or lying to them or taking out their ally. I learned this early with Plate and I stuck by this strategy for the rest of the game. I do think it was the best way to play this format. Diana may have been a big player. But I think I was big as well, and I make no apologies nor do I need to, simply because I was able to maintain my relationships using this strategy.

Finally thank you to the Headrighter and all his crew for this fantastic game. I made a lot of jokes about it being a farce and nonsense throughout but I really enjoyed every single minute of it. The changing formats were well thought out and crafted. I can't imagine how much work went into the planning phase of this game alone. So thank you to the HR and all the crew for putting so much work into this game we all enjoyed so much.

And to finish this off, with an appreciation that we have written, and you have read thousands of words, and to give tribute to perhaps the greatest addition the HR brought into this game.
