Thiago Remembers The Fallen

[thiago]

It was a pleasure getting to know you before the game started. It's a shame we never got to play together, and I hope that everything is going well with you. Zie je!

[thiago]

I enjoyed chatting with you before the game started, and although I was disappointed that you left, I think it was more because you were such an interesting player that I wanted to witness a bit of the Annie experience; however, upon further reflection, maybe missing out on it wasn't such a bad thing...

[thiago]

I don't really know you and, to be quite frank, given your behaviour at the Final Judgment during Resurrection, I don't really know if we'd get along anyway.

[thiago]

I don't know you either but you seem like a sweet person and it's a real shame we never got to get to know one another given all the great things I've heard about you!

[thiago]

Given our history, it was a little awkward coming into this game with you after your Final Judgment jury speech so fresh in our minds. I did appreciate you trying to smooth things over when the game started, although I was never so certain that it was genuine on your part. We never spoke after about Day 1 of this game, and if I'm being honest, I've never viewed you leaving as a bad thing. I hope all is well with you, though.

[thiago]

Mon chum! J'étais très, très triste à votre élimination! Vous me manquez!!

Take care, my friend. So much love here.

[thiago]

Albeit you're great to talk to and sure are nice to look at, I'm not sure our styles of gaming would ever have meshed well. I think you're a bit hard-nosed in your judgments/assessments of people and situations. In the words of George Elliot: "It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view." I think this is what cost you the game. Nobody is every what they seem in a game like this. I wish you were straight so I could make a cute Hooters refrence, mixing your love of birds and love of boobs... but... well... yeah....

[thiago]

To be blunt, I think that you're a bit nuts. You and Tina would make such an entertaining duo.

[thiago]

You seem like a really nice guy and you had a pretty hard time from the get-go in this game. I respect your fight and passion, even if you resorted to ratting people out to try and stay in the game. I admire a good fight. It means that you care about this game, something we can all relate to.

[thiago]

Two months ago we were doing this together, and now it's me writing about you. I respect the sacrifices you made to play this game. I appreciate the friendship you've shown me over these months. I hope that with The End near, our friendship will be able to survive outside of GVSE. You're a hero in my eyes, man. Mad respect.

[thiago]

We never got to meet within this game really, which is a shame. I guess it's a two-way street and we both chose not to make the effort. I think you fought harder than most, witnessed harder times than I had to in this game, and went down due to bad luck. However, thank you for voting for me, because without you, I sure as hell wouldn't be here.

[thiago]

I was a huge fan of yours last season, and it was exciting to be on the same tribe finally after months of waiting. I enjoyed getting to know you and we shared some personal stories that I haven't shared with many people. I do remain confused as to why you've blocked me since your departure, but there's no use on my end trying to figure it out. If you had a problem with me, I wish you would have addressed it well before your elimination. It is what it is, I guess.

[thiago]

It was a pleasure getting to know you a bit during the game. I admittedly wasn't a fan of one thing you did in particular in the game which I found to be dishonest, but in a game like this it's to be expected I suppose. It did, however, kill any development of the beginnings of what I thought could be a nice friendship. I hope your bruises have healed up. I appreciated the company during the mornings thanks to your timezone.

[thiago]

I have respect for you inside and outside of this game. I'd hate to see our friendship suffer due to a game, but I think there was genuine pain on both of our ends--at least on mine--and neither party is entirely responsible. You played a valiant game and certainly have not shaken your reputation as one of, if not the most dangerous players in GVSE history.

[thiago]

After two seasons together, I think it's safe to say that we will never be friends. I think we are simply not compatible. Not everybody can be. One thing I can say, however, with certainty, is that making the Top 7 three times in a row is pretty damn impressive. I may not respect how you played, but I can respect your results.
