Good luck Alakazam! <3 Its been really fun! 💜

I will be asleep before the end of the game. Thank you everyone for a fantastic and fun game. Truly it was a blast, but I won't miss the 4am day changes and having a panic wake up to see what happened lol. Congrats again Nora and I'll see you all in future games <3

Hello Jury! Almost immediately, Alakazam, Marquis and I formulated a plan to work together. We identified that Marquis and myself had various (and different) connections in this game that could be leveraged and that Alakazam's lack of inital connections could be utilized to float between the two sets of connections. I want to recognize that while this was the plan, and what was executed - Alakazam played a huge role in this being successful. I will let him tell his own story, but I would be remiss to not credit him, because his instinct to say the right thing to the right person at the right time all on his own was incredibly impressive for someone who has never played outcasted or similar longer games. Overall, I am extremely happy with how I played this game. I felt like I had a pretty good sense of what was happening at all times, and was always moving the chess pieces to stay a few moves ahead. I could write a novel about all of the things I did each round and why, but I won't make you read through all of that. I am happy to answer any questions you may have though! Overall, the key components to my game included: - Understanding the connections that existed in this game and leveraging them to ensure I maintained insight and control of each round. For example knowing Marquis was close to Guib who was close to Ghutch who was close to me allowed me to fact check information but also plant seeds of doubt to prevent any true opposition to Marquis/Alakazam and I from forming. This happened again when I felt an immediate connection with Tori, and was able to work with Marquis to help build a successful final 5 with Marquis, Alakazam, Tori and Jordan. - Keeping knowledge of Jordan's idol a secret, while steering any indication that Jordan should be targeted away from my allies. This secured a safety net for me through the later game. And even with Jordan's monster move at final 5, it helped my game by making me think about and navigate the end of the game accordingly. - Knowing when to leak the right information. Specifically, when I told Ghutch he should be worried, he went to Alakazam with a threat of an idol. Alakazam told Marquis and I, and I went straight back to Ghutch with it. It exposed the flow of information while allowing me to maintain a closeness with GHutch. While I knew Ghutch did not find an idol that morning as he said (because I knew Jordan had it), I did not know if the OG camp idol had been found by Guib or Ghutch, so I didnt want to be victim to crossfire. This also gave me permission to vote for Ghutch - something I had otherwise promised I would not do - and to tell Guib that Tori should go, which would have been true if Ghutch did idol as he indicated multiple times he had. - I had always tried to be as honest as I could in the game, while understanding it was a game and I sometimes had to be a little shady. - Overall, I remained calm through this game (although emotional at the end because I do care about all of you) and was able to see the path and navigate it one step at a time, while always thinking two steps further. Again, I am really happy with the game that I played and would love your vote if you agree I deserve it. If I don't that is okay too, because I think Alakazam played an underrated game that deserves the win just as much! Thank you all for a fun game! <3

Final Jury Speech: Wow!! I certainly never imagined I would make it to final 2. This being my first outcasted, I wanted to play smart. I was able to make a final 3 alliance withing 10 minutes of the game. Marquis, Nora and I worked together all game in hopes of making it to final 3. My role was simple, play up the fact I was new and pretend I had no clue what I was doing. I had to lie in the shadows and help make the moves to get us to the end. My first big move was to take out Thumper91. I knew she was with Guib and GHutch thanks to the intel from Marquis. I came up with the plan on how to convince Hutch to switch over for a vote and take out Thumper. The three of us then each used those points and it worked. Hutch voted out Thumper and that gave us the advantage. All the while nobody was talking about me or even noticed I existed. I kept playing up that I had no clue what I was doing and nobody was working with me. I used the fact that Nora and Marquis knew a lot of people in this game to my advantage. They were able to use those people to help us all advance and not go after me. I also was able to talk up some people and make them bigger threats than they were. After Dakota made that play on Guilty, I was able to lead the vote on getting them out. I planted seeds for a couple rounds that they were gaining too much power. I always made sure to tell other people the name I was hearing when it actuality it was me throwing the name out there. I did the same thing with Maris and lead the charge on that vote out too. I had to weaken the other side while nobody knew it was me doing so. I had no idea that Jordan had an idol and that was my first vote where I didn't know what was happening. I only had 1 vote cast against me all season while being the reason for 3 vote outs. I know most of you think I didn't do anything all game, but I was part of almost every vote out since the beginning. Good luck Nora! You played incredible and I'm so lucky I could make it here with my first friend I made on this site almost a month ago now.

Thank you Alakazam! Congratulations on making final 2 in your first ever outcasted game! I also want to give a big thank you to everyone on this cast for making this a fun game! I will outline my game a bit later, but will just say that every personal conversation I have had was genuine. As many of you know, I am a wife/mom who works full time, leads both girl scouts and cub scouts, and is always up to something. These games are a chance to escape that chaos and to make genuine friendships with people from all over the world/different backgrounds because I choose to, not out of convience of being my kids friends parents. I am sorry if I hurt anyone through this game, but it was never personal and I always did my best to ensure I was making the game decision that pushed my game forward best. Regardless of whether we are close or not, please vote for the person who you feel deserves the win based on their game play here. At the end of the day, I am super proud of the game I played and am content in however this plays out! <3

Not that much longer left until the finals. Jordan it has been so much fun playing with you. That idol move was so badass and for the first time this game I had no idea what happened. Like we talked about last night, I have to take Nora here. I hope we can play together again.

No, I actually talked a lot this game. Just not with you because I never wanted to work with someone as paranoid as you were.

Hey. Did u receive authorization to speak? I know your not shy at all, just need a order to speak

Hello Guib, nice of you to finally say something after 12 days. I was beginning to think you were shy or something.
