Okay so we're immune now thats awkward
i lowkey wanna nominate tapu-wenya because they don't talk to me and then have everybody just slam dunk montreal-shadow in the vote, which keeps district 12 and donald-chu open for the next round (plus the survivors of this round) but we shall discuss
whats your take?

Thanks for all the updates earlier!
And apologies for the awkward challenge thing. I was at work and not sure whether to mention anything or not, but I figured if we ended up somehow sent to the eliminator then I would have been kicking myself for not saying anything!
I'm sure it would've reached you by now, but on my end I've got Gilly and Ted each individually mentioning to me that they want to do a 3-4-7-9 alliance. I've said to each of Gilly and Ted stuff along the lines of "Zod and I really like you and [partner] so definitely down to work together. [Mild reason for mild hesitation in regards to the group] and I haven't talked with Zod yet but I can't see why not?" Obviously more fleshed out, but that's the general gist.
Based on what you've said about Kirby we might have to be careful about that pair. I'm also generally hesitant about larger group alliances because of who they exclude (in this case most notably Shuichi/River and 12/Susan), but I do like Ted, even if he is quite the charmer.
The only pair combination I've been hearing is Wenya/Tapu and Shadow/Montreal for the eliminator and I would definitely be in favour of picking Wenya/Tapu.
At some point I think we'll need to really talk about what we think of the other social players and how we are going to navigate that. Probably fairly soon.

Yeah. This round might be easy but its going to get significantly harder very soon. Kirby told me that Wenya is terrified of going to the eliminator because he think tapu will wipe the floor with him. Should have sent me at least one PM, bub! As for the more social pairs, I honestly need your input on it pretty bad because I honestly can't tell most of them apart strategically except that Kirby's a sneaky boi. I'm having fun conversations with all of them. Stitch said he wanted to align with us, I said yes. Susan said she wanted to work with me before the pairs even started because I was her favourite person in the game (feels like she said that to multiple people just based on her personality but idrk) River song contacted me just before the vote saying she wanted to ally with our district since we're going to be seen as threats. Kirby started talking game really early and acts like we're super close, but I think he just does that with everyone. He keeps spilling information to me unprompted so that's why I don't give him anything. Ulysses never said he wanted to work together, but did say he wanted a truce between all the people who PM each other. Tracer I asked to work together with after she won immunity and she said yes, but then it flipped back to us and shes like "no take backs " So basically in the last 48 hours I became more or less aligned with everyone who matters in the game. Not really sure how to navigate that other then kill pairs outside that block until it's time to make a move? Personally I think not winning a few immunities would be good while the game's still easy and while people still aren't thinking of going for threats, because we probably constitute a threat. Star is someone who we might want to kill in the near-ish future by the way, I think the dude knows that he's in the lower echelon of players and when I asked him for impressions he just said "It's obvious that you, kirby, and ulysses (paraphrased from memory, may not be accurate) are the standouts" -- as if he was taking down a list of threats to kill later. Also based on that whole threat thing, River song did seem to feel insecure since she won the first challenge, so intentionally keeping her around as a bit of a challenge threat figurehead might be a good idea to keep the target off of us.

Stitch told me about that alliance. He said that 4 was trying to propose it, so surprise, surprise kirby's up to his usual tricks again.
3-4-7-9 alliance gives me slightly weird vibes that 1 is excluded, and I feel a bit like we're not the core of that alliance at all but more of an extra number being tacked on. Again I only trust kirby as far as I throw him and he's not that aerodynamic. Like, the fact that susan12 and river song are excluded from it gives me the shivers because they both performed well in challenges, and so did we, so it really makes my eyes emoji activate.
But the pairs will probably shuffle before it becomes a problem, so we can probably just ride with it for a while, not sell them out or cause any drama or anything, and even if the plan is to cut us closer to the end anyways, we can probably stage a coup on kirby long before then.

Lol I'm basically using this as my confessional hope you don't mind
3-4-7-9 actually is giving me bad vibes rn: Ulysses said to me that donald just messaged him saying he wants to go to the eliminator -- something I know from donald himself to be false. Big yikes there, 9 might be acting as a pawn of the killy duo right now.
Honestly in terms of trust right now, my ideal world is like an alliance of 1-3-8-10.
River song I know we can trust because she's afraid of her threat level, Susan is incompatible with kirby because she doesn't like gamebots, and tracer/birdo are the least social of the social pairs so they're not going to be included in that either. But the thing is I don't really know anything about birdo.
How is birdo?

I completely agree with you about 3-4-7-9 and so I've not been putting much effort into spreading it or "making it a thing". I've also tried to be cautious in my eagerness for it, but there's certainly risk of being guilty by association. Working out how to manage that without pissing anyone off could be tricky.
I will be catching up on my messages now and then share further thoughts.
My impression of Birdo so far is very mediocre.

so uh 12 has mentioned specifically that they like Kirby/Gilly without mentioning any other pair. Might need to be careful with that one. Also I guess further thoughts regarding our challenge performance. There's the possible advantage of us being assets to our allies because it helps keep control of eliminator decisions within their "group", I suppose. As well as what River said about wanting to work with us because she sees us as threats that could offset her own threat status. Nonetheless, I'm happy to suck at the next challenge or two if you think that would help. I'm not normally good at these things so this is unfamiliar territory to me! (and means I will undoubtedly suck without trying to at an upcoming challenge eventually). But yeah, do not hesitate to ask for us to do badly in a challenge if you think that we need to.

12 being tetra right? Yeah, she's like that guy you meet in your first tribe who likes all the most social people and then gets swapped away from you and then gets voted off and you never see them again. I don't think her opinion matters very much to be honest, I expect her to lose to harbinger in the eliminator sometime in the next two rounds and that's one less kirby supporter in the game.
I don't think we should suck too hard, people seem to notice and resent throwing (might be just river song) but I think it might be a good idea to take it easy on the winning immunity for the next 2 rounds at minimum. Not just from the perspective of being a threat, but also getting blood on our hands. Tapu wenya didn't talk at all so it was an easy nom, but tetra would probably feel betrayed if I put her up, and i wouldn't really want to deal with the reactions donaldpika/starcoco either. I also don't see anybody randomly taking a shot at us unless the survivors of tonight's eliminator win immunity or something. We better be quick to greet the survivor from district 2 and say "no hard feelings but if you had asked we would have picked someone else".

Oh hey we got some spicy idols going off overnight. That must have been that noise I heard outside while I was sleeping.
I guess the next vote is locked and loaded to be district 11 again plus the survivors already, eh?

These are like after-the-votes are read super idols too! What the pug! Unfortunately I do not have any Ben & Jerry's Katniss Krunch

Post by Zod on Feb 27, 2020 22:12:38 GMT
I don't have any either. Susan said to me that the reason they got those idols were by coming in first place (river song) and last place (montreal impact) in the initial pairs challenge. That seems to check out to me.
Obviously we didn't get an idol for winning this last challenge, lol. It must only apply to special challenges. That means we should also keep an eye on people who come in first and last place in any other special challenges should any of those come around again :eyes:

I think Susan’s idea is the most likely one yeah. And we’ll have to be on the lookout yes!

little bit of drama happened today i think while i was working
kirby and ulysses got spooked about river song and susan over a miscommunication
the takeaway from that is kirby and ulysses get spooked easily and susan and river song don't

if kirby ends up in your PM group next round we are going to switch roles and you're gonna be the one telling me about his latest misadventures

Sounds like a fun time.
But what has there even been to get spooked about idgi. Did River accidentally spoil the latest Survivor episode?

Post by Zod on Feb 29, 2020 1:21:59 GMT
after river played her advantage, she told susan how she got the advantage then logged because she had to leave
susan went and told everybody how river got her advantage (cause it wasn't a secret anyways)
ulysses and kirby interpreted the fact that susan was the first to tell everyone the news that susan and river were in a secret ultra tight alliance
if that last step doesn't quite make sense to you then you tested negative for chronic paranoia
