Wow! Was not expecting you to be the first one out in this game. From our chats over the first weekend, thought you would been able to find a niche, had a good pop for the character, and seemed like you would be in this for the long haul, but apparently not. #firstbootshock Another that I didnt get much chance to interact with, but from the little we did it seemed like you would have been a pretty fun character to have around. Just wasn't to be. I remember you saying that some people didnt always like the straight forward nature of your messages, and as soon as saw the tribe divide, with how super social it was going to be, thought you may have had some troubles fitting in there. Way the cookie crumbles, I guess. It's a shame that we only got to share a couple of msgs each, as I actually quite liked you from what little interaction we had had, and had such a positive vibe. In truth, thought you would have been perhaps a better fit for Sulaco than Nostromo, but it wasn't to be. Another with not a lot to go on personally, but from hearing second hand tales it may have been that your timw was up anyhow, and perhaps fortunate to make it as far as you did on a tribe that suffered a string of early losses. Another whose personal interactions were very limited, but from all accounts for everyone that spoke of you, they did so with respect, describing this as being unfortunate and even being robbed. So it is clearly a shame didnt get the chance to interact with you more.

Who knew the campaign to save you would be such a turning point in this whole game? Well, actually I did, lol. But still I wish things had turned out differently that night. Perhaps had they done so, I wouldnt be here, but for the times we did have personally quite enjoyed our chats, even though naturally your studies had to take priority over this. #legacy Gone too soon. It is a shame that things worked out as they did at the previous vote s I truly did want to work with you in this, but there were always persistent rumours of what you were involved in eelsewhere, and I guess they turned out to be true, but this does not disguise the fact that I did really think you were the best of Sulaco, and was the first to try and reach out and rebuild speaks volumes for the person and player you were. It wasn't meant to be you, but a penalty vote and a Nostromo double-cross saw you there. Someone I had a instant very high regard for upon first meeting, and that only continued when we got to interact briefly at the merge. Had you survived I would have really enjoyed playing much more with you, but once again a penalty vote and my throwing, what I thought would be an extra vote at Nox ended up being the difference. Either of those things didnt happen, and who knows how this may have turned out? Someone I certainly felt could have been a real contender in this. The fact that it took 3 attempts to get you out says something in itself here, but although we certainly had our issues its ironic as felt we actually communicated better when we were actually going head to head than when we were supposedly aligned. But that alignment never really felt genuine to me, and its clear that by the way we interacted that the feeling was mutual. One thing I do have to say though, is that I came into this game very rusty, but those 3 rounds were what helped sharpen my game up to where I needed it to be to get here. So thank you for that.

Girl, you were something else! Whatever it was about that Trinity vote that sent you to really put on the afterburners thereafter certainly played its part in shaping the game. What an absolute rollercoaster, and I loved every single minute of it by your side. Although at times it seemed that you had mixed objectives, and wish you could just settle and wait for the right times, but this was not your style. There were rounds where I would think, ok, got things where they need to be, bide our time and we will be good... only for you to have jumped down the rabbit hole, Now I know what it must be like to be tied to a loose cannon, the jolts and bumps, highs and unexpected nature of never quite knowing what I was walking into, lol. Wouldn't change it for a minute! You were my friend, my ally and more; someone I truly hope to get to know better after this. Oh my Kaylee Just now finished watching Serenity as we had promised to do when we made FTC together, and wish you were here with me. I have been thinking of you so much these past few days. I loved your sense of humour, your spirit, and the sensible sapproach, that really helped in keeping me sane when I was trying to find my groove in this game. I loved you from the start, even when others often questioned what I saw in you, I saw the heart, the one that I wish I had. Everytime looking at my sig would remind me of you, and the loss of Babydoll and yourself was the motivsation that drove me to find a way to the end, no matter what. Love you! Miss you! Can't wait to talk with you again

Noxy! Noxy! Noxy! OMG! The moment we arrived on Sulaco, I knew you were the one that had to keep my eye most closely on, and do all that could be to undermine and weaken you. Ironically, you and I were probabaly better suited to being on Nostromo, and think it is equally fair to say that you and I definitely were the ones working hardest on makeing connections on Sulaco. In many ways we actually seem to think alike about this game. Which made you all the more dangerous. So every opportunity to highlight shadiness and flaws in what you were doing I seized upon. Even the mutiny, (I tried to do this also, but you beat me to it, lol.), turned that into the catalyst for solidifying things with Mother, and beginning the campaign against Cherry. And we know how all that worked out. So long as you were in the game, I never felt truly comfortable, but knowing where your head was at meant I was able to do things about it. Maybe if our close respectivest allies had been able to like each other then maybe things would have been different for us, but that's not how it worked out. Doesn't mean have any less respect for you as a gamer though. Mad respect! Although Jessica was ana an amazing all round player, you werre every bit as good, and I tuly loved our chats, and loked forward to every single message from you. Because there was always so much going on, and it really resonated with me. If only things had been different and we had been on the same tribe from the start... If only... If only... Naturally you will have been very hurt going out blindsided as you were, but it was completely necessary. I really hope you have a great time on your trip as it really will be the most amazing experience, and just maybe when you get to this part of the world, would love to meet up. I can't wait to see who you were on the other side of this. Oh Claire! Sorry girl. It could so easily have been you hereat the end instead of me, unless steps were taken when they were, and in that case you would probabaly be looking at potentially a win here. But it was not to be. Like any good player you always had other irons in the fire in the pre-merge, which made the post-merge kind of interesting that you really stuck to the Sulaco Blue strong theme and in so doing only made yourself more likeable, in playing a very cleanskin game. There is so much of all that is best to admire about you, and even if these feelings and thoughts are not reciprocated right now, hopefully they will be in time. What a player! Damn girl, you did not make it easy for me to get you out of this game, and even when every fibre of my being knew it was the right thing to do, there was still a part of me that wanted to keep you and finish this journey. If we had've, then I would have had no complaints about losingto you, as you would have deserved the win. But, with the greatest of respect, I didn't fight all this way to just settle for second best. You have an amazing social game, strategically were able to keep the Nostromo dreams alive, even if it meant doing the double cross on me a couple of times, and it is this that had to remind mysef of all through the round where eventually you were voted out. But I have nothing but respect for you, and can't wait to find out who you were, as you truly were amazing! There but for the whims of fortune go I. Indeed, given how social the pair of us were early on (and the target this put on both of our backs for that matter), It is a testiment that you were able to survive every single TC in the entire game, bar one. I'm sorry things may not have worked out how you may have hoped, and I really hope you are feeling better - such a lousy way to go out right at the end, when you are not feeling well and unablto do the challenge, but it had to be this way if I was to have any shot at winning this, voting you out was the only way of freeing up the potential votes that otherwise would have been a complete lock even before considering the sentimental potential to sway others to yourt cause. A worthy ally and adversary, none the less.
