I wonder if that's the first time the first loser got 0 votes. Probably not, but I don't recall another time. There've been so many games, though...
Winner: Ozcar_97 (2 votes) First Loser (3rd Place): EnderMagic1 (1 vote) Because this is the final round, all of the previous losers get to vote for the winner. A pm with the final form will be sent out shortly. Good luck to Uzack and Ozcar_97!
Congrats to you as well. Its clear who the winner of this game will be Also wdym by "well played" - half the time I was reconsidering my life choices and then feeling confident and then messing up the next round after that which placed me in 3rd? *confusion*
Well, you still got 3rd, which is better than 13 of the 16 players in this game this round, so I'd say you did pretty good.

Alright, so, for those who somehow weren't aware of it, Sky and I, on Sky's request, were trying to get the both of us to become the last 2. It was very interesting to collaborate with another person in the game. As I was in on Sky's strategies I know that he deceived people more than I would have done, including lying. But I don't mind. "You may play dirty or clean", right? Probably written by Sky himself years ago, but until now nobody knew what playing dirty was actually like. There was one thing I helped Sky with that I did not feel comfortable about, which was sharing a screenshot of a fake pm (the pm was real, but it was made to be 'leaked' and mislead the people it was 'leaked' to). Still, in my opinion this is a totally viable game tactic. To me, the thing that's important is that these tactics stay within the game. And by the game (oops, I just lost another game) I mean this thread and any pms started for this game (I have almost a dozen ). In these places, anything goes. Inside Minecraft, on other forum threads and in pm's that were not clearly intended for TFL purposes, your behaviour should not be affected by The First Loser, in my opinion. And I haven't seen that being the case. Of course, Sky wasn't active much besides TFL, but I was. Even during the game, when both Tom and I were still in, we exchanged some messages about the game in our regular pm, but in here no misleading or lies occurred (of course, until we were both out, we didn't share everything either ). I even got a pm from Ozcar while we were both still in the game, that was about the game. However, it seemed to be completely upright, so I decided I would be honest, this time. I think it would not have been okay to deceive him there and then, because of the intent by his conversation. What I could've done if I wasn't willing to share information was say something like "I will not discuss my reasons behind choices until the game is over". Instead, I bet on being able to trust Ozcar and we had a bit of a private meta-discussion of the game mechanics. My conclusion: In the TFL thread and conversations clearly made for game purposes, anything goes. Outside them, you should not do any deception, although you can politely decline any conversation about the game until it is over. As far as I'm aware, while Sky played very rough in conversations for the game, this did not extend to other interactions between him and other players. So I think there's no problem. ... except maybe that if people keep playing like this, nobody will trust another in the game anymore. I think I will play a bit easier next game. I mean, I didn't even win now anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My takeaway from this is don't trust Sky again I was planning to try to mind my own business most of the game until his shenanigans got me eliminated I'll just come back stronger next time I guess
