I just want to reiterate that I wasn’t avoiding telling you or anything like that. I’ve been serious about working with you and I’m just a dummy who responds to messages in the order I get them and that determined who found out individually before I had a chance to post publicly. In hindsight, I totally realize how that probably felt to find out from someone else and that really, truly, was not my intention. I will be smarter in how I relay info to you in the future! I am sorry for any concern or confusion it caused you. I’m still very much so wanting to work with you and don’t want you to think anything else! Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns. I would hate for you to have doubts and then for me to not be able to check in with you!Feb 28, 2020 23:12:08 GMT Zod said:
Something you're hopefully going to see quickly about me is that I'm slow to panic and quick to assume the best. And sometimes a little slow to reply even though I'm on the online list >_> that's just me obsessively checking my PM's when I don't have time to reply to them. Very healthy habit, I know. I literally could not care less that susan was the first one to tell me about it. My first instinct was that she figured it out by looking at the challenge results. My second instinct was that you told her just because you were messaging by oldest-first PM order then had to bail. Even when I started getting panicked PM's from kirby telling me that river song and susan are super tight allies that told each other about their advantages ahead of time I kinda just went "lol, you good?" and kept on chilling out. Apparently susan shared the info to at least myself and Ulysses, then Ulysses (mis)communicated it to kirby in a paranoia fuelled game of broken telephone. Judging by how fast things went, I'm pretty sure those two are super tight and feeding off each other's energy.
Anyways kirby and ulysses are super sketched out (or at least acting like it) about you and susan now over the way things were communicated, so that's pretty dumb. I can't tell if they're paranoid or opportunistic, but both of things are undesirable. Even though the initial vote was easy, I'm glad that we got the information that those two crack under the slightest pressure.
Obviously I wouldn't be telling you any of this unless I was really serious about working with you. I'm not big into spilling secrets left and right and chasing drama - it seems downright suicidal in this format - but I figure we should both be on the same page about this situation. I really hope we end up in the same PM group together next round. I know you can be trusted because we have a common interest in keeping each other around since we're likely going to be pretty high on the radar for the forseeable future and beyond.
I haven't sent this to susan or anyone else, since I don't have the same kind of relationship that I do her with you, and I don't want to become the new centre of attention for spilling the beans on kirby/ulysses, so I trust you would take caution sharing this information and not my attach my name to it.
Hopefully this info dump serves as a bit of a collateral that I'm investing in you to show you I'm serious about working with you too...! And no, I haven't heard from montreal
we going deep river diving boys
I find it a bit comical that my position in this game is so ambiguous that I have two super close alliances based on completely opposite premises
With Ulysses, we're both UTR players hoping to slide by
With River, we're both high visibility threats hoping to keep each other safe by picking off all the people below us
Perception is reality
