Thiago Remembers The Fallen

[thiago]

I think that the stress of the game really made you a nightmare to handle, but to end on a positive note here, your ability to compete is damn impressive. I tip my hat to you in that respect. It's easy to dismiss your intensity as intolerable, but it does show a passion and care for the game that I too share, so perhaps that's something we have in common.

I never shared this with you, but although I never really knew you before the game, I was never a huge fan of you after seeing you play in Voyeur 2.0. However, about 5 years later, consider myself smitten. We are very similar in a lot of ways, and I think we both knew our alliance which lasted pretty much the entire game was a bit of a sham. We always had our daggers on-hand, but I struck before you had the chance. We'll see if it's a decision I'll regret or not soon enough.

I think that out of everyone on this cast, my opinion of you has changed the most from start to finish.

Before the game began, I saw you as an Andrea: sociably likeable, but fake with consciously devious intentions. I saw you as someone I couldn't trust, and someone who used sugar to coat disingenuous motives. But I was entirely wrong. Your needless rambling makes me laugh, your genuine optimism in life brightens even my darkest days, your quirky sense of humour makes me SALTS, and your effortless ability to forgive has helped me in my life in ways you probably aren't aware of. I've never learned so much from a person in a game on the internet, but meeting you has been one of the most pleasurable surprises I've ever had in an online game. Meeting you has sincerely been a gift, and I thank you for all that you've given me. I don't think I could have made it through this game without you AJ. I hope that the friendship we've formed means as much to you as it does to me, even if I'm a bit reserved in how I show it.

Out of everyone in what became our alliance, we always had the most unusual relationship. We bonded over being winners early on, but we slowly became unspoken adversaries due to our lack of trust in one another, probably because of how we became successful in our past victories: we lied, and we did it well. As the pre-merge portion of this game progressed, I would catch myself arguing with you over while you had no interest in hearing my two cents.

Somehow, we ended up on the same side of the game.

Although our relationship has been the most bizarre over the course of this game, I have developed a sincere sense of care for you as a person. I think we are are remarkably similar, share the same sense of humour, and I find you to be effortlessly charming. I click with you on a strategic level more than most, which has made you a top quality ally.

[thiago]

I see the same person, but I feel completely different.

No one could have ever prepared me for the way I feel about you in this game. It has been a complete turn around. Every day I look forward to messaging you. I bother you all the time just to get some time with you in during my day. You make me laugh, you allure me with your ridorkulously cute personality, and your honesty with me annoys me like a best friend I've had for years. We have shared things on a personal level that goes beyond what I have ever shared with a person in these games. I'm so honoured to be sitting in the Final 4 with you. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know the real you during this game, and I can definitely see what all the fuss is about. You really are an amazing guy, and I expect to see some really great things from you. There's no way you won't achieve the happiness in life that you really do deserve.

[thiago]

Dude, right now, you really annoy the shit out of me.

I'm so tired of seeing your dumb face. It's been two seasons now in a row of your ass and, quite frankly, I can't wait to retire your ass. You've made me cry, you've made me laugh, you've made me angry.

Man, I think we need to call it quits and go our separate ways.

Thanks for the ride bro, but I'm fucking exhausted.

The memories will live on forever though, my brazilian counterpart TEE-AH-GO.
