Big yikes. I guess it's bloodbath into partner swap then.
Star and Montreal were eliminated, no one will remember them.
This round will be very big. four eliminations, and they might be active people.
Last time fenrir and I were the best pair in the game at describing images to each other so I'm hoping we pull through on this one.

Spectator questions! Warning: Players who don't answer my questions will be forced to keep covering doubles for the rest of their time in the game. 1) Coco and Shadow came out of the eliminator, are these who you wanted to make it out and if so, how do you plan on using them to further your game? 2) Twist time! Lowest scoring district get sent into the eliminator, a lot more pressure here to perform well, are you going to perform to 100% or still try to hide your challenge threat level? 3) If you could pick your PM groups for a round, who would you pick? 4) you've got a bit of extra time this round so... Make me a meme of something from this game, here's a website if you wanna be lazy about it imgflip.com/memegenerator 5) A previous question stated about there being 10 rounds in theory, with this twist that makes it only 9 rounds... How does this change your gameplan and where do you plan on steering the vote tonight?

1. See previous episode. Was hoping for more ez boots to come back out but oh well. 2. Gonna go 100% but don't want to win. 3. Don't really care 4. i.imgur.com/tETlRWG.jpg5. Depends on who gets the worst score. Eliminations will probably all be in districts 5/6/12, unless someone from outside those districts performs the worst in the challenge.

Last round was pretty relaxing. Beetlejuice is a chill guy. He also was the first one to suggest that D5 could go up, and up they went. We're all benefiting from being in the know. Sorry to break your heart, but Fenrir kinda trash talked you last night in our district board after you suggested our districts work together more closely. He kind of does this to everybody he meets as far as i know. I guess he never tells me about the people he does like. So anyways I feel a bit tense with him and like I'm kind of just catering to him but we're both holding back a lot from each other. I know I'm not showing him all my cards. No idea where his loyalties really lie or if he has any at all. He's all puppies on the outside, and heartbreaker on the inside. I'm really hoping there's a swap soon because I feel like he won't last if he's on his own with a weaker partner. It's possible he doesn't have any because he admitted earlier when we paired that his strategy was to hide behind me for the first phase of pairs since I seemed social enough to carry us through even though we had no relationship. Kinda like a parasite strategy? I guess it works decently in this game, unless we could detach him from his host. I have no loyalty or trust with fenrir, I'm selling him out to my deepwolf ally Ulysses. I hope we swap pairs so I can stab him.

So I spoke to Fenrir about it a little bit at the time Were you the one who had the idea to go for District 11 in the second challenge? That was what I remember what?

For challenge two, when you put up District 2 The other District was 11(before the sponsors) I was told that you said "11 was the path of least resistance" Why am I being interrogated by detective pikachu?

Nope, sorry. Just searched through all my PM's for you and thread with fenrir and the substring "least res" never shows up, either as something said by myself or someone else. Hope that helps you in your case, detective pikachu looking forwards to sending pikachu to the eliminator tbh

Okay so pikachu is just out for blood (probably kirby's?) for whoever started the rumor that him and donald hate each other. And apparently he's involved in even more drama.
I mean we're just gonna send him to the mega triple bean dip nacho cheese burrito for $2.99 eliminator anyways so who cares?
Honestly if he won immunity this round it would be pretty great for my survival because he would take a shot at kirby, plus some random pair would get booted from challenge performance and then we would only have to give up one easy target, which would be a good start for the swap. Imagine donald and pikachu both surviving to the swap ROFL

I know who started the rumor [that I wanted to voulenteer to go to the eliminator] and I had shutdown that theory lol I feel bad for them because they tell me everyone hates them now, but I think it is just a sob story Hahaha. The fact that I can't confidently tell you who it was should tell you that it's just a sob story. (Donald threw Kirby's name out there when I asked him, so that's my best guess) He did not do this rumor, but I can understand why Donald would think that Big shoutouts to pikachu for not responding with a hook, giving me an excuse to drop the topic and remain largely uninvolved in the drama. I wonder who did it? The answer is none of my business. Let the little kiddies fight amongst themselves while I just sit back and step on whoever survives. Good to know that Kirby is more or less innocent in the whole thing though, I actually had believed donald.

Hey, I heard you were talking with fenrir last round and you called him honourable or something. I don't really know where your head is at since you called us out. Do you mind if I ask? I don’t think I called him out in any meaningful way; just that he selected our group for first elimination, and I’m sure he didn’t mean it personally. We’ve since gotten along. ummmmmm girl im right here why are we talking in third person

ngl Sirach 28:11-15 looks a whole lot like my entire LSG strategy
[11] For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. [12] For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth: and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. [13] A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood: and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death. [14] If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth. [15] The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace.

[18] It hath cut in pieces the forces of people, and undone strong nations. [19] The tongue of a third person hath cast out valiant women, and deprived them of their labours. [20] He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose.

I actually had a brief moral dilemma thinking about this: of course simple games like mafia/secret hitler, etc. are fine because everyone enters into the game with the assumption that not everything said will be truthful. Like "I am town" but actually you're mafia well yeah who cares its part of the game. But I was thinking about more complex games like this.
The reason being that part of the mechanics of this game is to destroy the reputation of other players by in-game slander, calumny, murmuring, whispering, backbiting, etc. Like I'm currently doing with fenrir, and kirby, and ulysses, and basically everyone else who I agree to work together with and even a few people I don't. Obviously very bad IRL. But in the context of a game when I tear someone to shreds and ruin their good name after the game is over and the veil of anonymity is lifted we have a good laugh and there's no problems or real damage to their real reputation done even in the mafiascum community. So that's how these more complex games can be justified. There's no injustice because it's a game.

Post by Zod on Mar 5, 2020 5:34:58 GMT
here's a brief description of how my face looks when i just generated 2.5k words in two hours You can start by filling the background color with #0094FF, that's the color of the sky. Even though the sky is blue, it's a view from space. You can see a part of the earth. The earth is crudely drawn and is not a perfect circle.
To draw the curvature of the earth using your bold black brush, imagine the top half of a circle resting on the bottom of the page. Then make it so that the left side of the half circle is longer then the right because it's crudely drawn.
The height of the skewed half circle goes from the bottom of the screen to about 15% of the total height at it's peak.
Imagine your 800x800 square was cut from the top left corner of a sheet of lined paper. Imagine where the margin would be. That is the left edge of the half circle.
The right edge is slightly offscreen. Use the fill bucket on your newly drawn earth with color #0026FF. This is the water. We will be drawing continents and islands next. Each continent has a black bold cartoony border the same size as the border of the earth. #007F46 is the color of the land on the continents.
Leave a small margin of water on the left side of the earth.
From left to right, draw three small islands like ... but they go slightly diagonally up as you go to the right. The top of the first island is level with the bottom of the second island. Both the first and second islands are small and their shape is negligible, but they're not perfect circles. Just make em look islandy.
The third island is like if the first two tiny islands merged together then sprouted a little tail like a comma. (,) The tail of the comma goes down to about the midpoint of the height of the second island, and then the head of the comma goes up a little more in uniform with the other islands. The total height of the third island is about equal to the sum of the height of the previous two islands.
The three islands themselves should not go further than about the 1/3 mark across the surface of the earth. Next in the middle of the earth there's a big continent. It starts from offscreen (ie. the bottom of the screen). It never touches the top of the earth. None of the islands do.
It looks a tiny bit like a very smoothed out version of the top of Australia, but if someone took the left edge of australia and ripped it like a sheet of paper and a jagged edge formed.
If you look at the top of australia on a map, you will see a small bump, a bigger bump, a dip, then a big spike, then a decrease off to the right.
Switch the order of the small bump and the bigger bump, and make the dip/spike much smaller, then have it taper off of the screen. This would mean that the dip appears immediately after the small bump. From left to right: big bump, small bump, right into dip, then spike, then fall off the screen.
just a bit above the rising edge (not the peak) of the small bump is a little dot island. It is smaller than any island you've already drawn. The last island is as follows:
Imagine the big continent from earlier was cut off and there was a piece of it that was connected but not quite able to be seen because it was connected lower down.
Hold your right hand in front of you as a fist with your palm facing away from you so that you can see your knuckles and the first segment of your fingers. Ignore your thumb. Stick up your ring and pinky finger while still keeping them curled. This is the rough shape of this landmass.
It is very short. It's highest y-value is less then the top of the first ... island.
The size of the big continent plus this addition almost takes you to the end of the screen. If you were to add the first dot island to the end of this last island, you would reach the end of the screen. A very silly creature is living on top of the earth. Imagine like a mushroom cloud, but instead of a mushroom, it's a pickaxe, he has a silly smile, and he is leaning towards the left. We will now be drawing this creature.
Our silly friend is also very tall, so the combined height of him plus the earth is about half of the entire image.
He is coloured in as #FF6A00. His base is more or less centered on top of the earth, but slightly to the left.
I mentioned he is a mushroom cloud shape (on the bottom), so just like a mushroom cloud he has two upwards arches like a tree that grow up into a stem. Imagine he's made of some fungus-y stretchy fleshy material. Because he's leaning towards the left, his upwards arch on the left is fatter and his upwards arch on the right is narrower.
imagine a protractor. If 90 degrees is straight up, our silly friend is leaning at about 70 to 75 degrees.
For a his pickaxe head, he has a very narrow and droopy head for a pickaxe. You might think of a droopy palm tree at sunset. His left pickaxe prong is very droopy and floppy so it goes sharply down wards to about the halfway point of his body. But his right pickaxe prong is more solid, and only droops down to the 1/4 way point of his body. It also doesn't droop sharply down, it looks much more like a normal pickaxe prong.
At the point where all the prongs and the stem meet at the head, there is a little .^. face. The x-position of the eyes is about where the the lines coming up to draw the stem are. The position of the mouth is centered between the eyes. Our silly orange friend has two silly arms. His arms do not have any color, they are just bold and black stick arms. The same color and width that all the outlines are.
On the end of his silly arms are two hands which are actually just suns of color #FFD800. The suns have many sqiggly lines coming out of them. The squiggly lines are not yellow, they are black just like all the outlines. I will now describe each of these things in painstaking detail. The left silly arm protrudes from near the base of our silly orange friend. Right around the inflection point where the curve goes from going mostly horizontal to mostly vertical.
His arm has three silly loop-de-loops in it. Aside from those three loop de loops, it goes mostly in a straight line to the left and slightly upwards.
In terms of X-axis alignment, the leftmost loop-de-loop is just fully to the left of the leftmost ... island.
This is a text rendition of his arm: u_o__o__O____
where O and o are bigger/smaller loop-de-loops, and u is because it ends at an upwards twirl about the same height as the previous loopdeloop. So ignore the right half of the u. Just make it curve to point up. The left hand of the silly friend is as follows:
It is a crudely drawn circle of color #FFD800. Slightly wider than it is tall but I doubt that will matter. Its radius is approximately equal to the diameter of the biggest loopdeloop on the left arm. The left hand is actually not connected to the left arm. The leftmost loopdeloop as well as the curve part are actually in front of the sun. The center of the sun is somewhere around the base of the curve up part. It has 10 squiggles coming out of it. The first five are spaced like _\|/_. From left to right: lowercase zeta, backwards nazi lightning bolt, music rest, backwards S, forwards S.
The bottom five are //|\\, with the rightmost one being drawn on top of the arm.
From left to right: j without a dot hanging down, backwards L with a curved long part, s, s, s but the top curve being covered up by the arm. The right arm of the silly friend is as follows:
It goes upwards to the right at slightly less than a 45 degree angle. It stems from the exact same y-location as the left arm. It also has 3 loopdeloops. Here is a map of where the loopdeloops are:
BASE__o_o__o___HAND
This arm ends at the same Y-value of the bottom of the right prong of the droopy pickaxe. The right hand of the silly friend is as follows (please end my silly suffering)
Another sun. Same yellow fill color. Wider then it is tall. The diameter from top to bottom of the right hand is the radius from top to center of the left hand, so it's considerably smaller.
It has 8 squiggles coming out of it. They are drawn in black outline and not yellow.
The top four squiggles are like _\|/. Their shapes are from left to right: nazi lightning bolt, integral, s with a long top curve, s. The bottom four squiggles are like /||\. Their shapes from left to right:
the first one: tetris block (.:*) the second one is special: it goes down for a bit then goes wayyy off to the left and actually touches the edge of the third loopdeloop from the left. the third one: s the fourth one: lowercase zeta again. But this one is special too because it's not actually attached to anything. it has a slight gap between itself and the sun.
The height of the highest squiggly line on this sun just barely exceeds the highest point of the orange pickaxe friend. The line that exceeds that height boundry is the second line on the top (integral) We are finally done drawing the silly friend.
A fish is being launched from the top of his pickaxe head. The fish is of color #0026FF. We know the fish is being launched because two short \\ lines indicate that he is flying. The fish is sad, he has a single eye and a sad mouth. It's a side profile.
To draw the fish, draw a keyhole, then rotate that keyhole the same 70-75 degrees that the silly friend is so it looks like the silly friend has just shot the fish in the direction he's facing. then draw the eye which is just a dot and the mouth which is a sad mouth.
The fish is small, about the size of as the right hand of the silly friend. If the length of the fish from head to tail was one fish unit, there is one fish unit of space between the tail of the fish and the head of the silly friend. Then draw two lines \\ behind the fish to show that he was launched. These lines are short. They are about the length of the individual mouth segments in the .^. mouth. We will now draw the giant crab head attacking from the top left corner.
A giant crab head thing (think zoidberg) is emerging diagonally downwards from the top left corner. It is all one connected filled shape. It is colored #FF0000. It is partially offscreen just like the earth is because it's really big. It has two giant fangs like a crab claw, then 5 little smaller tentacles (spikes) between those claws like a scary tentacle mouth.
It also has two eyes with eyelashes. They are not dot eyes like everybody else has had so far, they are big long <=*=> eyes with whites (colored white obvs), eyelashes and a pupil (no iris)
Its left claw is very big. It terms of X-axis, it swoops down from just offscreen to past the sun of the left hand. It is wider then the stem of the silly friend. In terms of Y-axis, it swoops down to below the entire .^. face of the silly friend by a small margin.
Then it goes back up and there are those five smaller tentacles that form the mouth. They are all about the same length. From left to right, they curve towards the: right, left, left, right, right. The fourth one has a fatter base than all the rest.
The right claw is very big but not as big. It's edge serves as the rightmost edge of the giant crab head. In terms of X-axis, it ends at about the same X-axis as the silly friend. In terms of Y-axis, it swoops as low as the blue fish.
Next post describes the eyes. The eyes of the giant crab head are as follows.
They are obling and wide like real eyes. They have eyelashes. The whites of the eyes are white, the pupils are oblong in a similar shape to the eyes, not like round pupils. The pupils are centered in the eyes. The eyes are not angry, nor do they convey any emotion but a blank stare.
The left eye goes from X-axis (left edge of the leftmost squiggle of the left hand) -> (middle of the left hand), and for y-axis just make it look like a long almost squinty eye. Make the shape, color it in white, then draw a pupil of the same shape in the center of the eye. The pupil is black. The eye has 6 eyelashes on top. They all curve towards the left and are evenly distributed among the top of the eye. The right eye is basically the same thing as the left eye, but it goes off the top of the screen diagonally at about the 2/3 mark. Only two of the eyelashes are visible. Only one thing remains left to draw and it is the purple star.
The purple star is #B200FF. He lives in the top right portion of the image. He is a 5-pointed star. He has very chubby rounded edges. His height is comparable to the height of the small mouth tentacles of the giant crab head. His width is about equal to his height. He is kind of skewed like this /. Meaning his top point is more to the right. His top point is fat. His left point is fat. His right point is long in terms of y-axis but not long in terms of x-axis. His left leg is quite small compared to the other points. His right leg is like a smaller version of his left point. I don't think the proportions of the limbs actually batter but here they are anyways.
Relax your jaw and let your mouth hang open, then stare distantly into space and let your eyes go a little bit crossed. This is the expression that the purple star has. His eyes are simple dots. The inside of his mouth is color #FF00DC, it needs to be a filled shape with an outline.

Based on my RTCI chart so far, my ideal partners for a partner swap would be ted cruz and gilly. They are consistent challenge underperformers in our alliance and people that I would like to be closer to. So if we lose a challenge I can kill them but they're also social enough to not get voted off probably.
Also can I just say that ted cruz is an absolute LAD for sending me the message paraphrased: "Hey, long time no see. We're already on good terms, so let's table the game talk for now. What's up?" and then just not logging on
I really respect that move
