So it's quite good to know I just called McMenno a wanker in public a few times.

Gilly is…
Nicholas1024!!!
Gilly promised “strong social play and snark,” and absolutely delivered. He received a Sponsor ranking of 10 due to placing high on just about every partner preference list, and also having a good score in the Welcome to Panem eyeball test. He applied his usual Survivor social strategy, forming the most significant alliance in the game. Nich was less confident in his challenge ability, but gave a winning performance in the hard version of the Navigating the Arena puzzles at a time when District 4 definitely could have been in danger. He was also a strong competitor in Forging Alliances/Chain Reaction, despite it being rather early in the morning! In general, we found District 4 the most mysterious District: they seemed to be very prominent in the social game but kept their scheming in PMs rather than their District forum. Still, it was interesting to hear of them through the lens of others. Gilly stepped down in the Eliminator, not wanting to end his partner’s journey, and in the end Kirby successfully fought his way to the finale. We are super happy to have Nich back as part of the community. Personal Effie Notes: Another returning player I hadn’t seen play in years. I was interested to see how you did in this format, and then after the first couple rounds saw your activity levels dwindle. You eloquently explained both in your confessional and in the spec lounge why that was, but even so you gave what you could to this game in spite of a partner whose time zone didn’t quite match yours. I commend you for doing a valiant job in all of the challenges and working with a new format that wasn’t perfect. I appreciate you coming out of hibernation to give this game a try

Ulysses is…
Shrek!!!
He expected to be able to “handle the social game” for his pair, and his biggest fear was “them tossing me out like i'm yesterdays lunch.” He played the grumpy old man role quite well including in some snarky confessionals. We enjoyed, in stark contrast, the snippets of “Ulysses chan” we would get in his Discord prod chat. It appeared that Shrek making a good first impression was what got District 9 into the D3-D4-D7-D9 alliance. Shrek had interesting approaches to both District Tours and A Lasting Impression that focused on making sure he and Beetlejuice were focusing on the same parts of their images. Ulysses also had a great performance in Hunt, Gather, Hide that I think evidenced that most of that group would have been glad to have been partnered with him at the end of it. We found it really touching that he named his Survivorbot for Beetlejuice and never forgot him. Sadly, othello did not turn out to be a challenge that suited Shrek, and he could carry OG District 9’s torch no further. Personal Effie Notes: I always love watching you play games. I never know what to expect with you. I enjoyed the gimmick you started with, but I think the amount of effort to play this game slowly brought you out of the gimmick. I don’t think you did as well as you were hoping to do this game, but you always had an active role this game and I appreciated that about you. Your challenge ideas were always outside the box and you are uniquely creative. I think the peak moment for you in this game for me was your bonkers strategy for the reproduce drawing challenge that created a nearly identical replica of the original. There is a method to your madness and I always love watching it.

Zod is…
Awoo!!!
He entered the game excited to “KILL KILL KILL,” do “big brain scheming” without a jury to worry about, and also very prepared to throw challenges. Awoo’s confessional was peak CPN, complete with aesthetically pleasing threat index charts. Throughout the game we heard about how he was setting up everyone else to want to kill each other, even throwing his own partner under the bus in the event of a partner swap. Awoo seemed, more than many other players, to view his connection to Fenrir as all business, which was an interesting dynamic to observe. It was also very amusing to watch his District go from trying to throw challenges, to realizing they were performing better than most while throwing and thus switching gears to try to immunity run. Though District 3 lasted surprisingly long for the obvious threats that they were, it was very sad to lose Awoo and his confessional content. Personal Effie Notes: I would say hands down the viewer’s favorite. The amount of people who enjoyed your schemes, your hilarious insight and perception, and your beautiful charts is honestly uncountable. You were far and by far the most quoted contestant. Your District was the de facto threat, yet somehow you always seemed to downplay that until it was unavoidable. The fact you lasted so long is a testament to how good you actually are at these games. In a game where social prowess wasn’t as favored as challenge prowess, you excelled in both unironically. I am ecstatic you chose to gave this a try and you were a necessary component as the standout character fmpov.
