Hey there, champs! First of all, I want to say thank you to RShow for letting me compete in this season especially after how many people wanted to play. Also, I want to thank everyone that played in this season for making it another fun, intense, crazy, rollercoaster ride of a season. Now, onto my plea.
Coming into this game, I think that many people saw me as a threat right off the bat. I'm a strong physical competitor, I have a strong strategic mind, & I had a few strong bonds already formed with people also in the cast. I was a threat, they were right. I feel like out of everyone who has made it here to the Final, I've had the toughest road & that's because I was literally NEVER not a target.
Obviously, I had my Duel Alliance with Skyler, Mike, & Jaxon. Since Day 1 in this game, my name along with theirs was dragged through the mud by so many different people, it's kinda crazy. While I know you guys might not be fans of the alliance as a whole, I think as winners you can respect that we all made in generally far considering how actively some people were trying to get us out. Especially me, who made it all the way here to the Final.
My strategy all throughout the beginning of the game was to reel in the people that were "free agents" or people that didn't really have strong ties to anyone else for votes. I worked with people that the people voting against me weren't working with. These people included Mybash, JacksonWalsh, & Rocketo. While they weren't necessarily the strongest competitors in the game, they were still votes that shouldn't have been counted out & I used them to my advantage to get all of Team Duel through Phase 1 with only one of us needing to win a Fortress.
The thing that sets me apart from everyone else in this Final is that I was not only looking out for myself, I was looking out for 3 other people the entire game. No, I'm not saying that I wasn't playing to win or that I didn't play for myself at all, but playing for myself meant playing for Team Duel & I can sit here proudly & say I did a damn good job. 3 of the 4 of us made Top 7, 2 of us made the the Last Phase & with the cards we were dealt, I still was able to get us extremely far in the game together.
I hope that you guys can recognize that in a season called Rise of the Underdogs, I truly took the role as an underdog & played it this entire game. I got into numerous fights, I won 2 Fortresses, & I had to work every single round to make sure that my alliance & I moved forward in the game.
Thanks so much for reading & hopefully considering my plea! Obviously, I'm open to any & all questions that y'all may have. Also, good luck to Sagar, Andy, & other Anthony in all 7 parts of the Final!
