Hahaha. Seriously? We're doing the eyeballing challenge first?
Okay, fine by me. I'd rather get it over with now instead of getting killed by it in an eliminator.
My hope early game is to get put with a weak partner who I can sacrifice in a pinch. I don't really care to do that well in the challenge, and if I do, I'll rank my list as people I haven't talked to at the top and people I have talked to at the bottom.

Hopefully my PM's suck enough that all the people who do well at the challenge will pick someone else as their partner, so I end up with a partner bad at challenges that I can murder when inevitably get voted off for sucking at PM'ing.

Current algorithm:
if (message from someone I already have a conversation with) {
reply to that person
} else {
reply to a person I haven't PM'd yet
}
Strategy: build some basic relationships instead of trying to rotate everybody, then hope to get partnered with someone I haven't talked to yet, which is a -1 enemy and all my friends aren't tied to me.

no context - ulssyes is awesome True. Such a shame that more people don't speak music these days. Back in my day, we spoke music uphill-- both ways! And we liked it that way, too. Honestly, Zod, I'm glad you and I just 'get' one another. There's no confusing drivel on 'GMOs' or 'Vaccinations' or 'Snowflakes'. We're just two hardworking men living honest lives. Personally, I like music that can speak to you. It just takes out the middle man. That's why sea shanties always appealed to me. A hardworking man like me could always use a good shantying every once in a while, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. Excellent. Well, you're already on the right track at the moment-- but why do you want the Nuclear Codes, pray tell? I also can't give them away for no reason whatsoever, you know. Ah, that's understandable. My personal condolences. I live on a planet where only some things are radioactive, so I can relate to you feeling like a fish out of water here. Although 'hip and relatable' is a stretch when it comes to describing me. I'm very hard-set in my old man mannerisms, so that's something you may have to get acquainted with if we're to get along in the future. That is a good song! I remember having my first kiss with my wife with that playing in the background. How did you know I had a soft spot for 10 hours of emergency broadcast noises? |

>6 messages on waking up Not as bad as it could be, let's assess the damage.
I'm going to be out for most of the day studying for an exam, but I'll be free mostly all Sunday to spam people to my heart's content.

The only new person who messaged me is Birdo, who appears to have given everyone the same image of her wearing a diamond ring. Sigh. What's a zod gotta do? I asked 12 NOT to partner with me (LOL, he seemed to agree?) and Susan said that she likes me most of all out of everybody. I would be willing to bet that she's said that to at least two people, but I just see it as an opportunity to shoot her a PM asking her if she thinks anybody is cool.
I spammed PM's to everyone who logged in last night except for a few ugly avatars (sorry fenrir).
People not PM'd: Coco pommel, Fenrir, tapu lele i think, goomba, toxicroak, wenya zhu

I'm going to talk as much as I can with tetra to figure out if she's sensfan and if she is sensfan I need to nuke her from orbit because he is a challenge threat

Getting into game talk with 12, susan, gilly, maybe more later
Throwing a bit of shade on birdo 'cause I think she copy-pasted the same PM to everybody.
Gotta get ideas in people's heads early. Tetra does not seem to be sensfan. But you never know 👀

I'm getting home early tonight. I'm realizing that a lot of people probably like me. That's not good. I couldn't hold myself back from producing good vibes. That makes it more likely that a challenge threat will pick me as their partner and I die irl. I think my only way out is to grind the challenge tonight to force through a good score so I can ensure I get a low tier player as my partner as opposed to just getting scooped up by a bigthreat. 12 and Gilly might be in danger by this same logic. Tetra probably not. Susan probably. Tracer maybe. Cruz maybe. Ullsyes seems polarizing so probably not.

I'm slowly floating the idea to all my "allies" (ie. active people i like talking to) that we should be pairing with weak people so that we can collectively control more votes.
I'm doing it only for selfish reasons, of course. I just want to be with someone weak, and I don't want them paired with me to start with.

Apparently score will be posted so basically I have a 24 hour deadline to do two things:
1. Submit a crappy score
2. Convince everyone who likes me not to pick me as a partner

Kirby and I are talking some serious game. He wants to partner up with me.
I think I value Kirby over all my other connections so far, since I know he's not one of the top tier popular people, so I'm likely one of his only connections. Also I haven't heard his name from any of the other top-tier popular people (gilly, 12, ted, susan) under any context whatsoever.
I still think my ideal partner is someone like Wenya Zhu, or Fenrir or someone who I haven't talked much with.

O snap. Kirby's a schemer. Maybe I do wanna ride with this guy.
He knows people's names that are on the chopping block. I wonder what they are.

Awesome, so Susan says she's putting me at the top of her list. So does Kirby.
I really want to just be paired with Wenya Zhu because then she can't kill me for meme'ing on her. But I also want to kill her, and I can probably orchestrate that easily. And I also don't want to choose her over kirby and susan because that would be freaking hashtag rude.
Maybe I should submit an even worse score... I'm just going to get picked by someone anyways.

Star hasn't responded to my PM from yesterday which is hashtag rude. Loving the forum theme btw.
