So I figure there are three main factors one might use to decide who makes it to the final round they are:
1. Take the Weakest
2. Take the Strongest
3. Remain loyal to the Loyal
Some would say there is a 4th category, the - "Best chance of me Winning" category, but more than likely one of the three options above fit. Since there is no jury in a game like this, your reasoning changes a bit at the end. You don't have to worry about bitter backlash, just winning.
Sooooo
If you were choosing to take the weakest two to the end (based on performance) I think Santos would be your first option and I would be your second. Why?
Well neither of us won an Paymaster. We both had the chance to be one early in the game, but after merge both of us failed. I had a slightly better performance record than Santos if you give point values to our placings in each Paymaster comp, thats why I chose myself second.
If you were choosing option 2 I think your strongest would be Derb followed by me. Derb won a Paymaster and obviously secures his spot over me, but I had a really good record all in all. I never was first, but not until this last round was I ever DLL, I was usually closer to the top.
And lastly if you are choosing based on Loyalty I would assume you'd Certainly pick Derb seeing as he was a member of both your team and your alliance for the whole game. Santos and I are a toss up. Santos was loyal for a portion of the game, but ultimately flipped on you and took out some of your team/alliance. I was never with you, but in the same regard I never broke loyalty to the people who were loyal to me. Also I never had to lie to anyone the entire game, which pretty much blows my mind, because I think this could be a very easy game to lie in.
So basically, I'm not going to plea to be here. My words and actions should show just how much I wan't to make it to the end. I want it bad! I decided to just lay the fact out there as I see them and let you choose in the end, because no amount of talking is really gonna sway your decision-making. Good Luck with whatever your decision is and no hard feelings with whatever your choice is. I have done and said all I can, the rest is completely in your hands!
