Squiggs played well, but he lied when we asked him if he was currently in an alliance. Although this was the correct play lies should have consequences.

Also when offered the choice between Rathji and Mrk in the death match it felt odd that I didn't get to choose from all four. So that to me appears that it was Biz and Squiggs orchestrating my removal.

So my advantage goes to MrK.

(even though he likely supported Squiggs play of getting into our alliance and supported the 4:1 elimination of me the round earlier.)

Great game played.

Not that it matters, but that was all me. We had decided to leave it to you if you wanted to block someone, and based on how we had worked it out the only possible blocks would have given you mrk or rathji. I was mostly just curious.

No grand scheme, other than we had agreed to combine forces to block you and HG

I will say you kept my sanity in check for CP mafia. You were definitely the level-headed leader of the group (Captain was a fitting role), and almost guided us all the way to victory.

No worries on the Genius Game alliance. We still worked together a bit where we both benefited, and that mattered in the early game. I always respected your game and your advice on how to approach the matches.

Also, congratulations to the two who have made it this far. When I figured out the 5 way alliance after the zombie game, I thought it was very likely they would pull through and win.

I said to Rathji when he was choosing a deathmatch opponent after round 1 that I thought squiggs was an underrated player and to be careful, and I feel the same way about mrkajz.

Two players who very much deserve to be in the final, congrats!

Well, I have to say mrkajz's charity makes more sense to me personally.

Having said that, squiggs did see PIMKing's junk so I feel bad for him.

Good luck both of you, no hard feelings.

I guess if we are providing reasons to receive these "bonus" chips, here is my piece:

I don't think my game could have gone any more according to plan. In the first half of the game I planned to lay low - my strategy for the first number of matches was to ensure I didn't get last place, that was basically it. I also wanted to get into an alliance, and ended up with a team of 4 (though I was invited in rather than being part of the formation, so there was some good luck there).

In the second half of the game I knew I would need to stave off elimination a few times because of my conservative play earlier. I was able to win both my death matches with what I thought was some pretty unique strategies, but that was partially a function of which games I played in the death match. It all worked out in the end, and I was able to advance to the final.

I guess in the end I'm saying that my plan was to slip under the radar early and then show strength in the end, and I think it worked out great. I think I was a bit naive in a few of the games (Pucks everywhere!) and maybe was a little too passive for my own good, but I stuck by my alliance the whole game, never sold anyone out, and felt I was a good team player.

So yeah, I'd appreciate the bonus chips, but give them to whomever you thought played the best or deserve it the most, based on your merit system.

The cop/beggar/mob game we worked with squiggs, other than that I fished for info a couple times but nothing big.

Interesting. We figured someone on your team must have been feeding info across when devo transferred all his Gaudreaus just before he got selected for the deathmatch.

When it came out that you had been betrayed by squiggs, I just assumed that was going on from the start.

[Hockeyguy15]

Nope, just the one round. The round before that we had Rathji 'working' with us.

[HalifaxDrunk]

If it's not too late, I'll take Spotlight and give it to mrkajz

[GirlySports]

Spotlight is

"EXTRA TRADE"

-----

I'm surprised alliances started and lasted from the beginning. With the different roles, different games all randomized I thought there would be more shifting.

But you all managed to crowbar those roles into set alliances which was impressive.
