For what its worth, re Yaxley's comments, the reason I threw so hard to remove Pyrites was because I was too busy irl to do the challenge, and didnt want to get blamed for ruining it for the Side. I learned that lesson from Travers, a simple warning is not enough.
Lol at that coming across as aggressive wild move tho.

I’m not too impressed with Yax’s severe lack of understanding of what happened at the manor in terms of alliances (what they really were), the idol (when it was found) and the pyrites vote especially as a lot of the players knew the truth before coming here.
It does make me feel he has been too insulated. I will be questioning on this further…

As per my post above, it seems he didn’t really know what was happening at either the manor or the DP.

Both of their statements made me realize a weird trend that you need to have BIG FLASHY moves to justify winning the game. I think none of the two has made any, but I also think it's not necessary for your game to be considered decent.

I told black the full truth at the DoM which I realized was a mistake later on. That could be a point against black I guess but I made sure to not make a big deal of it once I realized my mistake.

I think the problem is both their games are decent but neither really stands above the other. They are just different.

They both played strong games and they are so different, but neither stand out above the other.

Also as much as I love Yax (and hate reading novels) it's not about the word count, so although Yax' speech is much more detailed, Black's definitely doesn't have to hide, neither ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)

I’m relatively undecided although leaning towards Black, but for him to really jump over Black I think he needs to explain why he stands out from the core alliance bunch when the general perception is that Lily and Crouch were the true driving forces. From where I sit, it sort of looks like he was just a part of an alliance though virtue of not having Diggle being voted out but wasn’t THAT much more influential than Black. I’d love for anyone to provide insight or show why this might be wrong ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)

I will be questioning on this further… Okay I stopped reading first time after MM (just due to time) but I see now that Yax covered this all off in his layer speech so all recovered. I’m probably leaning Yax after reading the whole thing but that’s probably because he mentioned me like a bazillion times and I’m an ego manic.

Is it just me or is Black destroying these answers. We might have a real *SNIP* scenario here. Love his reveal that he voted for me in the Travers boot. And the strategy of it. Top tier stuff. Oliver Wood, we’re you playing the idol for black at 7 if you were immune?

Oliver Wood , we’re you playing the idol for black at 7 if you were immune? Agreed. I think he smashed my question out of the ballpark. Seriously impressed. He’s hitting all the right notes as well. To me, the biggest accomplishment of his game is the fact that he was able to survive 18 others with his two closest allies out within the first round, AND showed some control as a partnerless player in a partner dominated game.

So I pulled the trigger and finally eliminated the tightest partnership in the game. The plus side of taking that shot was that I felt it ensured that I'd be at the final 2 regardless, as Lily had been pushing for Yax to leave. And at 4, Yax told me that he'd vote with me, but his preference between Barty and Lily would have been to vote Lily. Monsieur Black winning immúnity méans that 'e càn fórce monsieur Yaxley tò vote out monsieur Crouch, which was the ríght move fór 'im as it guarantées that régardless of who wins the final challénge 'e is likely tò make it tò final 2. Pùtting yourself in thiz pòsition is absolutely a stréngth (takìng out Lily leaves open the pòssibility of monsieur Yaxley and monsieur Crouch gettìng back tògethér if one of them wins final immúnity) Don't you just love it when they validáte you r pérspective without even béing asked tò ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png)
