Elephant Shrew: What an upset! You deserved much better. It was unfortunate that we couldn't win a single challenge. I feel particularly responsible for your demise, having put in considerable effort to get both Pika and Lorry invested in me. You were obviously very strong, and without the specific circumstances we ran into I think you very easily could have been in FTC instead of me.
Sugar Glider: I was sad that you were taken out before we could meet up again. You were a delight. I had a feeling you had made yourself the center of Aviary's alliance structure, and I was not surprised when Jerboa confirmed that at merge. Fun player, I really hope you enjoyed playing.
Harp Seal: You were fantastic. I feel terrible for robbing you of a spot in this game's merge. You were my favourite Aviary by far, and you were basically everything I wanted to be in this game if I had more time to play. I have gone back and forth on whether I made the wrong choice in voting you out, and ultimately I think the answer is no. You were a close ally and we could have done great things together, but I think you would have been much harder to play around than Pika and Lorry as allies. Good game my friend, and I hope there are no hard feelings.
Capybara: I didn't give you a proper chance, and I apologise for that. I know it was frustrating basically getting blanked by me. I got really sick around the time we met and started recovering around the time you were voted out. >_< You seemed fun to me, definitely underrated compared to the expectations I was given by other members of Animal Pen.
Whet Owl: You were wonderful? You suffered from low activity, but so did I, and the talks we did manage to have were really nice. I'm sad I couldn't find a way to save you. Keep being awesome.
Meerkat: I'm glad we had what was essentially an alliance towards the end of your time in the game. Like Capy, I didn't do you right during the Joint TC and start of merge. But you were really pleasant to play with, and even better when we actually started planning together on how to get off the bottom. I wish we'd gotten on slightly better on Aviary, and maybe then your alliance at the joint TC would have felt less like 'Harp Seal and Friends' and more like a group that I could assimilate into. Good game!
Pika: Gosh, it's been a ride hasn't it? Our alliance was glorious, at the start. It's been so long since I've felt that glow of excitement over a game like I did when we made our alliance with Lorry. I understand why it didn't last, and it's mostly my fault for not being reliable enough as an ally. I was sad that we couldn't live our original dream of blowing up this game together, but I know there was a lot more to worry about on your end than that. That doesn't change the fact that you were the critter I grew closest to throughout this experience. You're fantastic - don't forget it.
Slow Loris: Hello my Stealthy Rat partner! I'm still not sure why you chose that name for an alliance with a dolphin, but anyway. You brought a lot of fun to the game for me. It was clear that you were here to play a game through and through, and that's the kind of energy I really felt like I could work with this time around. I think your star shined a bit too bright with the Pika vote, and you immediately became a clear threat to the group you'd created. But you're an icon and you should be proud of what you did here.
Red Panda: You were truly enjoyable to talk to and play with. I'm sorry I put you off early on by not being around. You've got a mind for this stuff, and you've got a ridiculous amount of charisma. I was charmed by some of our discussions once we got real with each other. I'd love to see you play again.
Jerboa: You gave this game so much. Hope you had fun and felt the effort you put in was worth it.
Sand Cat: It seems like everyone underestimated you for the longest time! For me, I guessed before we even met from Pika's description of you that you'd make it really far, and it was obvious from that first joint TC together that there was wayyyy more to you than you were letting on. You almost had it, too! I'm glad we both made it this far, and thanks for being really fun to talk to.
Ermine: I've got lots of respect for you. You seem like a very genuine person. I'm worried your game won't be respected as much as it really should be, but part of me would love to be proven wrong. Thanks for working with me at the end there, and good luck!
Fennec Fox: I know I've already said this to you, but what an odd pairing we made. Neither of us are altogether satisfied with how this game has played out for us, and although our journey has been wildly different to get to this point, we seem to be very similar players and people. You shouldn't be down on yourself, you've played this very well, and although I'm going to try my best to stop you, when all is said and done I suspect you'll have earned a win. Let's make it a good show.
