Tetra wants to know why you targeted their district.

You can share this with Tetra.
Hey Tetra, I was really hoping that we would have the opportunity to speak directly to each other, but I guess those tricky game makers like to mess with us. First of all, it may sound counterintuitive, but I am so relieved that you are still in the game. I am a firm believer that the first few elimination rounds should be to weed out any and all inactives to give those who are more invested a fair shot. I hope you would agree, but I know that I would absolutely hate to get voted out in the game and have someone who hasn't made much of an effort stay over me. So, when we were randomly yeeted into The Eliminator by Montreal (I have no idea why...I've sent two messages to him and he has completely ignored me, as well as our previous PM group asking him a question publicly and getting no response) I had to send someone in our place so that Shuichi and I could remain in the game. It was widely talked about pre-Eliminator that both Harbinger and Montreal appeared to be the least active players in the game. I struggled with choosing your district for the simple fact that I did NOT want you to be eliminated. Unfortunately, Harbinger was your partner and was deemed inactive by basically everyone I have spoken to this far. I apologize for any stress you experienced while in the Eliminator and, again, am so glad to see that you are victorious. I hope that makes sense.

Is anyone talking in your group? It’s total radio silence here except for Wenya posting a sarcastic blurb about how his avatar says pair instead of solo and how he’s still in the “damned Hunger Games” lol

Should we theorize about which districts we think are buddying up to each other?

We likely should. I'm grading all day but will try to be on sporadically since I do have internet.

Here's my thoughts so far in the game:
Who the heck knows what's going on with Shadow/Montreal...I wonder, however if there is some sort of common ground between their district and now Tetra/Wenya's newly formed pair. Have you heard back from Tetra? If she harbors negative feelings toward me then perhaps she would want to work with Shadow/Montreal.
We feel fairly good about Susan/12, Stitch/Ted, Zod/Fenrir. I have a feeling Tracer/Birdo are more inclined to keep us around. Tracer and I connected more this last round being in the same PM group and Birdo was also enjoyable for me to talk to. It seems like Susan also likes Tracer. I WAS feeling more confident that Ulysses was inclined to look out for us as well until Kirby went all rumor happy. I think things are smoothed over with Ulysses but I wouldn't be surprised if he were more skeptical moving forward. I really don't know where Beetlejuice stands with anything. Star is also a big mystery to me. I'm not sure they are really putting in a lot of effort to make ties, but who knows.
Kirby/Gilly are basically who I feel are looking to make moves against us from what it seems like. Donald/Pikachu are a weird pairing I also don't feel great about. I felt better about Pikachu pre-challenge 2 but I'm just mostly confused what's going on there.
It wouldn't surprise me if Kirby/Gilly started trying to connect with the people who are not as solid. Donald/Pikachu, Star/Coco, Shadow/Montreal, Tetra/Wenya would be who they are probably trying to seek an alliance with, or at least to get to vote with them next time around.
I think it will be incredibly important for us to really solidify who we want to work with. I am fully anticipating that at some point, pairs will get all funky and mixed (if not by the Eliminator, then by the game makers). So there's nothing we can do to 100% strategize since there are unknowns, but I think having a core group of individuals who we feel like we can trust would be good. I feel the best currently about you, Zod, Stitch, and Susan. I have a feeling that we could also get Tracer on board. She feels a little vulnerable with not being as active as some and we did get along pretty well. I am going to try and connect with 12 and Fenrir more this round.
What do you think?

I agree with pretty much everything you say. I can cozy up to Zod, Stitch and Susan even more easily. I think Shadow and I actually can get a long well so if we ceasefire on him/or somehow just kill montreal, we are good. I'm sure tetra has some harsh feeling and I will have to work hard to get them. Also Pikachu is great I am unsure on donnie.
Beetlejuice and Ulysses are a weird pair and they likely are threatening to us, along with Kirby and gilly (who I'm just going to try and keep off us until we have a chance to murder half of them).
Oh also tracer is bae and Birdo definitely needs some friends, they did not like how they suddenly became popular when they won and how that seemed to dissapear afterwards.

I’m glad we are on the same page!! I wish Shadow wasn’t with Montreal. I wonder if Shadow feels like he could beat Montreal in the Eliminator? That could boost his reputation if he were up for it. But it would be pretty risky for him. Yeah I feel like Ulysses/Beetlejuice and Gilly/Kirby will be on a need to know basis moving forward. I can’t imagine either pair will truly look out for us. I will lean into Tracer a little bit more and try to build up that connection!! I have been reassuring her that I don’t view her as an inactive, am glad she’s here, like talking to her, etc. I will keep that up!
Has Tetra said anything in response to my message?

The most I've gotten is that they are willing to put it in the past if we are. Also gilly says that they're kind of "cautiously annoyed" with you. So we should be careful on that front. I'll try and relate to them though

Lol why Gilly?! What have I done

No Gilly says that's how Tetra feels, that was not clear at all.

Post by River Song on Mar 1, 2020 3:37:24 GMT
OH! I was like lol Gilly YOU stopped talking to MEEEE!!! Lol. I don't blame tetra at all. That's why I was hoping to talk to her directly this round, but I can't change that. Did she say anything else in response to my message? Was Harbinger active with her at all?

So Ted just said this:
How good was the drawing you sent? Mine was terrible. I tried to slap it together as quickly as possible, but I was still too late. Not upset about you getting it, though.
AKA he suspects that’s how I got the idol. Which is how I got it. I haven’t responded yet. I’m thinking something along the lines of, “Drawing? I’m not really sure what you’re referencing but if it’s about the sponsor, I got that for winning the first challenge!”

If he suspects we're lying, leaning into that is bad. Maybe do a "shhhhh" gif or something that it's meant to be hush hush? He's our ally after all

Post by River Song on Mar 1, 2020 20:19:18 GMT
Yeah, but Stitch is his partner and Stitch is under the impression that I got it in the challenge. Yikes.

Yeah, but you gotta like mention it but be like "shhhh keep it hush hush teddy my boy" I think we have more to lose from not keeping him in the loop than we do from him potentially spreading the word.

Haven’t heard back. Hopefully I will thought! Darn work getting in the way. How are things going on your end?

Been alright but quiet. Certainly hoping for a challenge victory so it's sketching me out.

Post by River Song on Mar 2, 2020 0:45:03 GMT
Yeah I’m getting nervous! Do you think we could be targets? Obvi if Montreal/Shadow win then we could be. Hoping that isn’t the case! I’m wondering thought because it sounds like some think Donald/Pikachu could be the next vote

Have you heard from Susan yet about where they are voting?
|
|

Post by River Song on Mar 2, 2020 5:36:55 GMT
Lol so Wenya sent me a whole bunch of "direct quotes" from Pikachu to support an idea that Pikachu wants to be voted for so he can boot Donald out of the game. I asked Pikachu if that's something he wanted to do and he said absolutely not and that Wenya is claiming to have misunderstood...

I have not heard but consensus seems to be on shadow and I doubt that susan allows us to go into the eliminator, so we're probably good
