Aloha, Ted! I thought we'd move our PM chain out other here to make use of our lovely District Forum more!
Zod has been talking about the vote a bit and he says that Beetlejuice is inclined to put up district 5. I don't feel strongly for or against that, so I'm wondering what's your take on it.

This clashes with my aesthetic of being antagonistic toward spectators.
I've got no problem with putting up District 5. I'd prefer for Coco to survive the Eliminator if they went, since I still have basically no relationship with Star. Really I just want to make sure us and our allies are safe, and then I'll pray for no item shenanigans.
Do you have any targets in mind?

I just remembered that District 11 exists.

River just confirmed to me that she got her sponsor from the banner, not the first challenge. Apparently I was the only person to ask about the drawing. Tell Stitch that I really wanted to be honest with him but I felt really vulnerable being in the spot of winning the first challenge AND finding a sponsor. I didn’t want to put an even bigger target on my back and I felt kinda overwhelmed with how the first Eliminator round. Please tell Stitch that you and him are the only people outside of district 1 who know. I’ve been telling Stitch for a while know how closely we want to work with y’all and I hope that trusting you guys with this information will prove that!!

Got an alliance offer from Tracer.

Oh, alright then. I guess we know there's no more sponsors flying around now, but that begs the question of where the heck did Montreal get his.
Is the alliance offer with just us two districts? I'd be fine with that.
I feel pretty comfortable with 8 winning immunity. I think it'll probably be best if they put up 5/6/12 but as long as it's not one of our core allies we'd probably be fine. I have to go to bed now, and answer like a bazillion PMs in the morning, haha.

Montreal had the best ranking (not score) in the first challenge. I don't know how he got that ranking, but I think that's how he got the sponsor.
What do you think of Birdo?
Have a good night!

The pairs I've been hearing for the secondary vote have been Districts 6 and 12. 6 is because of Donald's inactivity. However, I think Pikachu is going to make a push against this since he wants to stick with Donald. I haven't heard District 5 from anyone other than Beetlejuice via you. I don't think that's something worth pushing for right now. So I'm currently thinking 11 and 12.

Ohh OK, that makes sense. It's still pretty hard to try to talk to Birdo but I think I could make it work? Trader's pretty nice to talk to at least.
Yeah, I'm thinking the best play for secondary right now would be district 12. I've been getting along OK with Donald anyways, and it sounds like you and Pikachu are good too, so it might be good to keep them around an extra round. Although I guess we don't need to worry about it too much since the choice rests entirely on 8, and I don't think they'd be making any odd-ball nominations at this point.

I think Tracer's going to want a substantive opinion from you about Birdo, or at least something better than what the truth currently is. I'm not really sure what to say. River will probably want a response too, but I can just say that you understand and aren't mad and are looking forward to working with her, etc.
Yeah this discussion only matters if District 8 goes the easy route and picks District 11. District 12 actually seems like they could be picked, since 12 and Wenya don't get along.

Ohhhh. Say that I think she's fun to talk to, and that I haven't had the chance to PM her much lately but I'd be down working with her.
Oh yeah, I was just thinking I probably needed to reply to River, but yeah that's pretty much exactly what I'd say. It's all good, and she didn't need to confess that anyhow, so the fact that she did definitely makes me feel even more solid with her.
I almost forgot about that entire conflict. And it looks like Wenya picked beef for no reason with district 3 as well, lol. Either or would probably be fine. It'd be more ideal if they were to not put up district 11 since I don't imagine that not being anyone's primary vote, but it doesn't really matter either way for the most part.

Real quick, does Shuichi know that River told us? I was going to mention to him but realize it might be a bit awkward if he'd first be hearing it from me.

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 2, 2020 17:58:01 GMT
Will pass along those messages and ask about Shuichi.

Post by Stitch on Mar 2, 2020 17:59:55 GMT
I ended up telling Shuichi already, oops. I'm pretty sure River kept Shuichi up to date about it already anyhow and I'm just worrying about nothing.

Oh, another thing that I just thought about. What are you thinking regarding breaking the news to 11 and 12? I'm like 99% going to let 11 know unless you're super opposed to that since I'm pretty sure that's what he's expecting anyways and there's no point in trying to blindside him. I was in the middle of writing a post to Tetra but stopped midway because I felt really icky trying to mislead her and it's not going to bode well if they happen to find another sponsor, but at the same time I don't want to be a snitch, so I'm a bit torn about what to do.

No problem with telling Shadow. He knew it was happening last round and was chill about it. Telling Tetra should be fine too, especially if you keep the focus on Wenya. I'm not going to tell Montreal because Montreal doesn't talk. I'm unsure how to tell Wenya about it.
Blindsiding seems unnecessary in this game since items can be played after being nominated, and half of the people that get sent to the Eliminator will come back.

I just told Shadow. I'll probably tell Tetra too in a bit. Susan's told me that right now her and 12 (the player) have been bouncing around nominating 6 and 12 (the district) but that she hasn't heard back from 12 (the player) yet.

Post by Stitch on Mar 2, 2020 20:57:15 GMT
Susan's heard from Gilly that apparently voting out 5 has been gaining more traction than I expected? She might be getting a bit suspicious. Have you heard anything else about that at all? She's wondering where it came from but I don't want to say Beetlejuice because that's probably going to come back around to him so I don't really know how to respond to that.
|

Post by Stitch on Mar 2, 2020 21:07:32 GMT
Nvm, I guess Susan's just straight up putting up 5. I didn't really expect her to be super down for it but that's fine I guess! I was kind of hoping district 12 got sent instead but it's fine.

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 2, 2020 22:36:24 GMT
You telling me about Beetlejuice wanting District 5 gone is the only time I've seen them mentioned. I don't mind them getting nominated, but I don't like how it's coming as a surprise so close to deadline.

River is thankful for your response.

Post by Stitch on Mar 2, 2020 22:58:34 GMT
That's good at least. It seems like Susan and 12 just got done deliberating a while ago, yeah. It was a bit of a surprise but I don't really mind it too much.

I think I should probably give Birdo the heads up given we're in an alliance now but do you think it would get back to Coco? Did you get the impression that Birdo and Coco or her district were close?
|
|

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 2, 2020 23:26:14 GMT
Neither Birdo nor Coco seemed like the type to talk very much strategy with other players. That could have changed this round, but I doubt it.

I'll try to be back on before results, but no guarantee. I'm feeling unwell and am going to lie down.
