"I'd like to also thank my best friend T4 Bacteriophage for all the support and love you gave from behind the scenes!!" throwing a name out basically? Conventional wisdom for FTC is to mention Jurors by name as much as possible to make them feel relevant and like you saw and valued the impact they had on your game. You can probably overdo it, but I think it's generally good advice and a good mentality to approach FTC with regardless. In this case, Cat mentioned a spec by name. I think someone may have also done this in Barely Survivor but I don't 100% remember

yeah i still would be shocked if he didn't vote for kestrel, but i guess i want to throw out that it might not be in the realm of impossibility that he votes a different way. we'll see~

They certainly don't seem to be happening with much logical thought either. I was enjoying all the FTC content until this post

Yep. Still absolutely, firmly, and whole-heartedly on Kestrel's side for winning. Am I biased because they were my closest friend when I was still alive? Of course. But why should that matter? Their speech rocked.

sure is frustrating watching kestrel receiving anything but praise for what from my perspective was a borderline perfect MOR game

I don't understand Snowy Owl's criticism of Kestrel's game? Like genuinely what is the flaw in Kestrel's game compared to Cat's? I know Snowy would have preferred that Kestrel take them to the end over Cat and honestly maybe they should have, but right now their reasoning is totally circular.
Like why is that a mistake for Kestrel and not for Cat? Because Snowy is automatically presuming that Cat played better than Kestrel and that assumption is baked into the question?

I think snowy owl's point is that if kestrel had as many options as they suggested, this was not a desirable outcome, where it is a desirable outcome for cat. Therefore, it seems as if cat had more control than kestrel.

I don't think Kestrel's game is perfect. There are several Jurors (such as Bunny) who do have legit reason not to vote for them, and honestly I think they could have booted Cat at 5 instead of Snowy without substantially altering their odds of making it to the end, so if they do lose, it will be because they didn't do that.

Therefore, it seems as if cat had more control than kestrel. Hmmmmm...that's not how I read it but maybe. But what was the better outcome? Other than taking Snowy to the end which both Cat and Kestrel could have done no? This seems like a pretty good F3 for Kestrel. I guess Snowy was targeting Cat and not Kestrel.

I read it as going further back in time. Like kestrel is saying heres all these endgames with bunny and lion and rat and eagle and yet cat got exactly what she wanted. For example, no one else wanted Capy at the end. So I think there is a point to be made there.
(Note I am extremely biased in favor of cat.)

I think having more options is more impressive, but eh, I guess fair. I'm biased in favor of Kestrel, but Cat would be a good winner too. The fact that specs don't have unanimous favorite speaks volumes!
But Kestrel's grace and confidence in her response to Snowy is amazing. I'm taking notes. I do not have the confidence in myself to handle criticism like that as well.

I agree having more options is impressive, but did Kestrel actually have them? Did Kestrel actively choose this endgame from many or was it Cat's doing all along?
I thought kestrel would run away with it, but this one might be closer than I expected. How many jurors are there? 8?
