What is life right now? Where is susie, I need her equalizing ability

I feel that we're all the stars of our own story. The events of our lives and the people in them shape how we see ourselves and how we rewrite the story in our memories. Because we cannot live anyone else's lives but our own, we'll never fully understand other's motivations and they'll never full understand ours. Even close siblings will have completely different memories of the same events because of how they've rewritten the stories in their minds.

If a miracle happens and out of the millions of people that will never understand us, we find some that do, we hold onto those people as long as we can. They offer an oasis of mutual understanding that most others can't come close to and it feels so good, so life affirming. I've gotten to the point in my life where I no longer put much energy into those who do things that I can't understand or find me too difficult to understand. Instead, I focus on relationships with people who get me and who I get. It's way less stressful and much more fun.

In a game setting like this, the paths to mutual understanding are a bit twisted, but still present. We gravitate towards those who get us. I should have taken my own advice and given up on a non-working relationship much sooner myself, but I'm a tenacious fool sometimes. I do much better assessing the viability of a new relationship in person, as well likely all do.

I think it's human nature to want others to see things the way you do, but at a certain point, one just must accept that it isn't possible. In a game where someone maliciously hurts us, it feels normal to give them shit and make them regret it. But when a person simply has an peculiar world view and I know they may also have a fragile psyche, it just feels like a waste of energy to be unkind. Neutral, sure, but when things get negative or mean, they also affect ME negatively, and I must live my best, happiest life, it's the only one I'll get.

Theses are just my own values though. I find they've led to a peaceful happy life, but that might not be your experience. I would never want you or anyone else to make my choices unless they were also your choices.

Susie, you're a gem. Don't ever change.

Very sweet. I'm guessing that from the way you played the game, my way of thinking isn't too far from your own.

I vote for Susie to win Oh was this not her opening statements to the jury? In my mind maybe.

Haha, where's the :swoon: smily when I need it?

Fuck I needed you. Your boot was way too untimely.

I needed you too. It's rare I meet someone who gets me and who I get. Meeting you has been a gift.

It is. I really think had you been in the game we would have made it to the end. Michelle and Gillian couldn't level me out the same way, so I was stuck breaking things out on my own...you see where it got me LOL It's crazy to know that an online game of survivor brought us together

Randy, weren’t you not in on my vote? In reference to Gilly’s speech btw. Also Susie do you wanna look over my Gilly questions too cause I kinda wanna address stuff she said in her speech but I also don’t want her to just view me as coming at her.

Thank you! I feel like if I’m going to address her at all I have to address how I wasn’t lying when I said we were good in the game or she’s just going to make little digs at me since she seems like she’s still a little bitter. I’m just afraid of her interpreting it as me like coming at her or something cause she is really highly emotional and kinda took me gunning for her personally. And I feel like just not asking her anything would almost be worse since she’ll see that I’m asking both Michelle and Charlie stuff.

Avoiding deliberate meanness may be the best standard to shoot for. Don't stifle your questions out of concern for how she may or may not react, this is your FTC too, as a juror. I'm struggling to come up with questions for her myself, but for different reasons.

Yup!

I know it's just the internet, but social bonds are wayyyy more important and impressive to me than challenge wins or some strategic mastermind.

Seeing how she was one of the people to come and apologize to me, she knows i wasn't in on your vote.

Alright, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t remembering stuff wrong because I sometimes have a tendency to do that lol

[Chris]

I am enamored with Gilly's opening speech

what a legend

Of course, be happy to.

Yo, susie! I posted my comments and questions to G in the jury duty thread on ponderosa........could you take a look? I think I did okay, but I'd very much prefer a 3rd party look.

I took a look and think it looks perfect, really great job. How do you feel about it?

I think it comes off level headed so I'm okay with it. I would like to know whether her character is legit or fake, but I couldn't quite word that question well. I think Ron got close though with that one.

Can the final three see each other's opening statements? It feels like none of them had read the others when they posted.

I imagine they can, but maybe they just were focused on typing their own?

I don't know, it's weird, and I have strong opinions lol

I was a bit surprised. I thought perhaps Charlie was waiting for the others to post to play off/dispute what they said.
