Looks like wenya is calling us out in public.
I guess he's not very self aware.

Okay I’m back from my needlessly dramatic weekend away!
And thanks for explaining the Ulysses and Kirby situation. Kirby wishes to pass on that it was a misunderstanding by Ulysses. :shrug:
The Wenya situation is unfortunate but I’m talking with them and we’ll see how that goes.
Otherwise not too much exciting on my end. Just PMing as I get the chance to.

Sure, keep me posted on wenya.
If that doesn't end up working out, I think the best move this round is to take shots at 11/12 - ideally with 11 getting chosen by the immune pair and 12 being voted off so that even if wenya comes back she will know that no one likes her and it's not just us. And if shadow comes back he won't be mad for being singled out since he knows that his partner is dead weight. And montreal is incapable of being mad because he's not playing the game.
I've heard 5 and 6 get thrown around a little bit, but I think it's not the right time for that.

Wenya says I am “honourable enough” and that they’re willing to have a “clean go” with me. They say that they’re generally concerned about being out of the loop on things. Which... well is appropriate I guess.
Not sure if Wenya would actually work with us if it came down to that but it’s possible?

Hey, you might as well take him up on his offer. Apologize and say "sorry for the rude awakening but we weren't making a big move, we were going with the consensus" (which is true). Then if he does win immunity he risks majorly pissing us off if he puts one of us up after saying he wouldn't, so that locks his options down in our favor.

District 8 winning is a good thing. I'm gonna put a tentative vote for 11/12 in our voting thread.

Post by Fenrir on Mar 2, 2020 5:53:12 GMT
That's fine with me. How has Tetra been lately?
I'd also be open to District 6 if that came up as an option, but between 6/11/12 I don't really care.
And how have you been going with stuff! Are the midterms behaving themselves?

Lol Ulysses just asked me specifically not to send him any PM content that wasn't about the vote.
Some people are high maintenance!

Changed our vote to 11/6 because that seems to be the way the winds are blowing. Tetra has a little bit of influence, it seems. I'm honestly a tiny bit wary of her because I feel like a lot of people like her but she doesn't have any loyalty to me/us specifically over anybody else.
Midterms suck and I've got another one today and a big assignment that I don't need to actually do, but I need to make it look like I did it and then leech off my partner because the TA's are lazy when they mark it.
Lol, what's up with Ulysses? Couldn't handle the dog pics?

Also since the rules sometimes say we can't discuss challenges with our partner (like the last one), let's discuss it real quick before that rule gets posted for the next challenge.
I think we can safely not-win the next two challenges: the chopping block currently has 5/6/11/12 on it. Next round it will be 5/6/12 and two of them will be nominated probably.
I was talking with our alliance and they were saying that everyone assumes that someone else likes coco pommel but nobody has met anybody who actually likes coco pommel. Does that match your experience at all? It does with mine.

Also I agree re: the challenges. I was hoping that my domino train score would be nice and mediocre!
Re: Coco and Star, I don't have any reason to believe that either of them would trust me over anyone else. In some ways I think it works for us that Susan and 12 are nominating them because we won't be implicated in that for whoever returns.
Tetra is one to watch out for. Tracer at the very least seems to have a liking for her.

From Tracer:
This seems like something I should ask you about because it's a weird thing for Tracer to ask unless she's looking for something in particular.

Oooohh, I think the girls have a crush on us. That really sounds like she's feeling out a cross district alliance or something of the sort.
To be blunt, I think birdo is mediocre at best, is being completely carried by tracer, and is likely to end up firmly the outs on the next swap if she's not there already. She even sent me a PM because she was paranoid that no one was talking to her about the vote, and sent me the cryptic "I have no interest in putting your district in at all" as if she thought she was about to be targeted.
But I don't think tracer needs to know any of that. We're getting along great! Good vibes all around! We had a funny bit where I pointed out that the D10 logo looked like a birdo skull if you squint your eyes a bit so you can point to that as evidence that we're having a great time.
I think we're basically drowning in friends and allies right now, so if that response entices tracer to propose something between us we can easily just say yes and keep throwing challenges, keep letting other pairs get blood on their hands, and keep letting their challenge threat levels increase while we play the perfect floater's game.

I like to think of it more as performing on their level

Haha, you know what I mean. We're not blatantly sanbagging like tapu and wenya and montreal, just taking a more relaxed approach

Post by Fenrir on Mar 3, 2020 2:04:26 GMT
And I told Tracer that you like Birdo.
The D10 logo connection is solid.

Tracer has now asked me for more pictures of doggos.
Is this how people flirt nowadays?

Also it would be great if the floater game works out! My main worry is that, if everyone is as crazy about you as it seems, they may eventually realise this! Will they care? Who knows! But I'll be keeping an eye out in any case.

Um this challenge and entire round is scary
But last time we were the best in the whole game at describing images to each other so I think we should make through
It's live so I'm free tomorrow what about you

Post by Fenrir on Mar 4, 2020 4:09:56 GMT
I'm good for tomorrow too!
I would be able to reliably do any time between 7pm and midnight EST if we plan an approximate time in advance.
Also do you have a role preference?

Extra things:
Last thing Ulysses said to me before the change of groups.
I don't know how much of this is lip service, and I'm actually not that into Ulysses to be totally honest, but if he actually does like us, then that can only be a good thing imo.

Post by Fenrir on Mar 4, 2020 9:31:19 GMT
So yeah I guess keep that in mind. I've probably mentioned something along the lines of "I feel Ulysses and I made a lot of progress in the last round and I feel like we could really work together!" but less fake than that.

Ulysses is a fast moving fellow for his age. One moment he's talking about how kids they days can't click books, the next moment he's pledging allegiance to you. I guess getting involved in those paranoid schemes made him feel insecure and perhaps he is reaching out to get more solid allies and connections now. We had some good banter earlier in the game until I ran out of energy to keep up with him.
Personally I expect that the pairs will shuffle after this next round based on the fact that it's a double eviction and I was previously speculating that the pairs would swap at 8 remaining so I think we can yes to basically any alliance involving existing districts and suffer no consequences for it.
I'll try to get on around 7pm tonight. I'll let you know if that changes. As for the role, what do you think? I think I did a good job of communicating the details in that last challenge. Do you think I should do it again?
