There's a difference between being careful and forcing your competitors to allow you to edit their FTC speeches. Something tells me this is exactly the reason why the entire jury hates Deadpool.

Sorry, I only just realized how bad of a mood I was in today, so I didn't limit myself as much as I should have. Sorry if I offended anyone.

This decision is a tough one, especially for Deadpool who thinks he can get the jury on his side only if he chooses correctly. There's a Socratic irony in play here where we know he's screwed no matter what he does so we just want him to finish playing kingmaker.

While I think his strategy of forcing the other two to spill their beans isn't necessarily an endearing one to whoever he's voting out, I can't say it's bad since he can get recon information on what he has to deal with and if someone doesn't put out he can threaten to dump them.

I think this part is interesting but I do agree just for killing the suspense I'd like to see a decision.

Wolverine needs to ask what Zod said from either of his competitors or guess what Zod said. I don't know if he's done that or not in his PMs, but he's going to lose the game because he couldn't get that info out of Deadpool or he couldn't assuage Deadpool's concerns.

Hu-oh, Zod managed to convince Deadpool. Deadpool said that Zod's argument was bad and desperate, but Zod still managed to convince him and get what he wanted sooooo... He did not do such a bad job in my opinion.

Wolverine does not seem to care when it is the most crucial time. He should ask what these 'reasons' are, I agree.

If Deadpool had just taken Zod, Wolverine would have gone to the jury where he would be the only one who saw Deadpool as a great player. If he had championed him, maybe he could have changed some opinions like Star did for Wolverine. But by waiting for so long, he's just sending Wolverine to the jury where he's mad at him and impressed with Zod. Even though he does get more insight into Zod's argument, it won't do him much good. Though Deadpool was going to lose no matter what, it could have at least been closer.

Trying to speak from an objective basis this time, I think Deadpool's problem is that his persona this game was all or nothing. During the opening parts of the game that wasn't an issue because no one had a reason to dislike him. When he's forced to vote someone out though, he still maintains that over the top attitude, which stains the person being voted's opinion of how they react when they see the posting style and therefore adding a negative connotation to his play as a whole. This being directly opposed to someone else who actively changes attitudes towards them as they're being voted out, who comes across more as being affected by and therefore caring more about the to be eliminated player.

Though for all I know I'm still spewing bias all over this thread and I should probably stop talking.

Nah actually I really like that point, I think you're right about that.

I still think Deadpool played pretty well for his first time and had a shot to win. I think he made quite a few mistakes but I think that's mitigated by the mistakes that everyone else made too so they are less glaring considering how far he got.
