Talk:This Could Be the Heist of the Millennium!/@comment-27391152-20180302082923/@comment-27391152-20180303014627

I don't know if I've said this before in a comment, but I know I've said this to you in chat at least once or twice. The reason why I liked Will in the beginning because I felt like I was supposed to like him. I was a "fake fan" if you will. I mean, he was the cool, no-BS republican who hated SJWs; what a pansy I would be not to like him, right? Turns out that he's personality centers much more around being nothing but an arrogant dickhead who thinks everyone is stupid despite he himself playing terribly ever since the Final 10 (bar last episode). And sure, he was a little full of himself in the beginning, but NOTHING compared to what he's sounded like in the past few episodes. The fact that he's made such bonehead decision yet still delusionally thinks he can do no wrong just adds to my frustration with him.

Also, it doesn't help that he's helped take out all of my faves and aligned himself with people I can't stand. :P

Sure, he's made moves that he can "attest" to but so did Abraham! The problem is, a lot of the time the two of them actually made terrible moves that put them in worse positions and/or alienated jury members. Thanks to his blunders at the Final 10 and Final 9, he basically gave all the power to the Gombey Four and was EXTREMELY lucky he DIDN'T get his way at the Final 8. If Jacob, Oswald, AND Phyllis hadn't miraculously all played idols, Will would've been fucked because there's a good chance Luca and Adrian are able to keep Veronica in check, meaning he'd be relying on Phyllis AND Oswald/Jacob to side with him and Maria, which I wouldn't consider likely since Phyllis actively makes move against her best interest. And even if that were to happen, there's a strong possibility Maria wins out. And again, if Adrian/Jacob/Oswald weren't simultaneously stupid last episode (and there's nothing Will really did to cause that), he should've been voted out at 6 as well. I truly think the only reason Will is still here is that he's been the most polarising character of the season and Tangle wanted him in the finale.

Will may know he's an arrogant hothead, but still thinks he has this game in the bag. I'll let that sink in.

As for comparing him to Phyllis, they've both played terribly socially but in two different ways. Will hasn't gotten to know ANYBODY on a personal level and only focused on the strategic game, AKA been the definition of a gamebot, whereas Phyllis has done exactly as you've said, betrayed too many close friends. If Will beats her, which I do think can happen, in the words of Coby from Palau, it will not be votes for him to win, but votes against Phyllis.
