This is the ideal social interaction. You may not like it, but this is what peak charisma looks like. It sounds like I don't need to get involved any further then, glad to be of assistance. Ever played open TTD? No, are you playing that?

I'm actually enjoying talking with wenya about making a survivor game with a body swapping mechanic
I think the fact that he ended up swapping with fenrir worked out great for me because I think fenrir was sloppy with his speech and made it seems like he was the one with the idea to put up wenya because wenya was like "yeah he decided to put me up but we're getting along now" -- so basically fenrir took the fall for me? thats cool i guess.
Anyways lets put him in the 6 speed dishwasher and see if he survives

I need to learn six weeks of content in two days. Why did I even take this statistics course? It's not required for my degree.
At least I know that taking machine learning will be a mistake, I'll stick to social network analysis and maybe dodge AI

1. Results are coming soon! Which district do you hope comes in last place? (If you're seeing this question after the results were posted, in an ideal world, which district would lose the challenge?) 2. How do you think other players see you? 3. Do you feel that you're living up to Zod's legacy? Why or why not? 4. Who's the cooler spectator, me or Peeta?

We are living in an ideal world, wenya is in the 6 inch sweet and sour pulled pork submarine sandwich with anchovies!
Now I am going to be seen as a challenge threat because 2 out of 4 challenges were about describing images, which is my strongest ability!
No idea what Zod's legacy is!
Temperature joke!

i distinctly remember posting a confessional about birdo trying to ally with me. what the heck is going on. did i send that to birdo

Post by Zod on Mar 7, 2020 6:03:35 GMT
and where the heck was that huge post my plan to kill every player in the game?
that better not be out there somewhere. im not joking its just 1 am. i think the forum just deleted them or i never posted them or both. or im tired and cant remeber.
in any case shuichi is trying to ask me to make a #bigmove without saying any names. If he wasn't tied to river song I would consider making a #bigmove on him because he sucks. thats basically like saying "please kill yourself for my benefit" which is as close as you can get to saying "i want you out of the game, please leave posthaste" Birdo I think is also just kissing my feet for favour points, she proposed some thing about how people with high challenge levels should work together but I think she is just paranoid because she knows her time in this game is slowly running out. Even ulysses is talking to me weird.

Well I don’t really have much ideas, just i would like to avoid the eliminator if at all possible, you know? You don't say names, you're not working with me, period. Give me a reason to keep you in this game! Give me a reason to get rid of someone else. Shuichi, shadow, y'all can both just go.

Post by Zod on Mar 7, 2020 15:06:50 GMT
I pressured shadow a bit.
"What's your plan then? If there's any eliminator you want to avoid, it's this one."
I want him to know that he was evicted from this game for trying to play safe instead of making a move when he needed to. Not that making a move would be likely to save him.

70 4ll p30pl3 w0nd3r1n9 wh3r3 my PM5 4r3: 1 4m 51mply r0l3pl4y1n9 4 Qu137 Pl4c3. If this is what 12 is really doing, that's pretty dumb It's been obvious to me from the start that 12 is not playing to his win condition, he's just playing to be a spectator favourite and win the popularity poll. When I told him that people liked him at the start of the game his reaction was "ohh i wanted to just be a rootable spectator guy". Now that he's actively throwing the game just to play his character better, I look forwards to him being swiftly eliminated and forgotten after this swap. Guess what buddy, gamethrowing is the least fun thing to watch.

Taken from earlier in our chain.
As soon as this guy becomes detached from susan, I'm going to kill him. Honestly maybe even sooner, since susan probably isn't working with me anyways. I doubt she appreciated that I didn't talk much game with her last swap when she had immunity.
Honestly outside our alliance I feel closer to tracer, birdo, river song, and that's basically it. And of those people I feel close to, I only actually trust river song. Everyone else can just go. I'll come to river song next chance I get and tell her that birdo might be useful to us.
I am sick of shuichi constantly pestering me for who I'm going to put up, I'm just going to ignore him.

You know who I wanna kill after this? Twelve. Early on in the game (shipwreck phase) he admitted to me that he just wanted to be an underdog character that the specs could root for. He expected that his talking in numbers gimmick would put him in hot water really fast so he would have an uphill battle, but people liked him so it didn't work. Now he's going and posting in our PM group thread and saying he's not going to PM people because he's roleplaying a quiet place? This guy is not playing the game to win, he's just playing for popularity poll points. I don't want to keep someone here who's playing against the spirit of the game in this game any more over people who actually came to play. The only reason I don't want to nominate him this round is because I don't want to put susan in the 6 speed dishwasher. If he swaps away from susan to some low tier player, I want him dead. Play the game you signed up to play or get out. Sent to Ulysses. This should cement him as an easy vote within our alliance so as to further tighten our iron grip on the game.

Yeah, I think that would be the most agreeable boot. Kirby also told me that he would prefer Districts 5 and 6 going up as well, so if you could talk to him about your intentions as well as the rest of our alliance we should be totally fine. As long as we dump the easy boots, we shouldn't have a problem going for whoever in the upcoming rounds. Okay. I'm totally down with that. I don't even give a crap about his whole 'I want to be an underdog' gimmick-- I'd be more than happy to kick his ass to the curb regardless of whether or not he predicted it. People that play only for the character points instead of actually competing are the worst type of player since they really only play for attention, and the fact that he's purposely going inactive in our DMs just so he can get spectator love is incredibly frustrating and disrespectful to the hosts that worked hard to set this game up. I feel like people who actually want to play simply deserve to stay here more than he does. Thanks for letting me know-- and I'll be sure to pass it on to people so that they can touch bases with you. I'm not going to bring it up this round since that could provoke unwanted chaos, but after the wringer is over, we can discuss it to our heart's content and lay plans for going deeper. Besides, we can get whoever we want out anyway since we'll be controlling the votes in a round or two. Vindication is imminent.

How can I kill everybody left in the game?
Ted Cruz - Highest risk of endgaming, very UTR. Very charismatic. Legitimately don't know how to kill him, making him the ideal partner.
Stitch - UTR and well connected, good at challenges. High endgame risk.
Ulysses - Bring to endgame, unless I need to sacrifice him because of a late game River Song immunity win.
Beetlejuice - UTR and mediocre at challenges. Has social influence. High endgame risk.
Kirby - I've sold him out to River Song as paranoid. I think other people know he's tainted by assosciation to the trainwreck district drama. Despite that, people like him because he talks game fluently and shares a lot of information. I want him to be the big move magnet of the game, unfortunately I think that might be me right now.
Gilly - Perhaps somewhat tainted by being tied to Kirby, and might be involved in trainwreck district drama. Also seems well connected, but I feel like we could get a lot closer in coming rounds.
Fenrir - I've sold him out to Ulysses as someone who our alliance should view as expendable. He also isn't the best at conversation. How easy he is to kill is highly dependent on where the pairs end up.
Susan - Highest risk of endgaming from outside our alliance. People like Ulysses like her. She's decent at challenges.
River Song - Good at challenges. Allied with me. Decent endgame risk if she goes on an immunity run. We probably want to mutually cut each other towards endgame.
Tracer - May be picked off by virtue of being outside our alliance, but I would rather play her against our alliance as a challenge threat ally.
Shuichi - Objectively the biggest challenge threat in the game. If I can spin people's perception to see that, he should get locked into the eliminator. I also think he's not the most social.
Birdo - Seen as stronger than everyone below her, but still socially lacking. Seems paranoid. Her best move is probably to work with me, but I don't trust her and I don't think she is genuine when she says she wants to work with me. I don't know where her allegiences are.
Twelve - I've sold him out to Ulysses, and next round, the two of us will run a campaign to completely destroy his reputation within our alliance and cement him as the next person to be eliminated, giving us a stranglehold on the game.
Pikachu - Tainted by low tier districts VIA donald. Likely to end up on the outs if he survives the 6 speed dishwasher, but does have a connection to river song. Wenya - Seen as a loose cannon thanks to his public posting. Weak. Donald - Socially weak. Has no connections. Tetra - Likeable, but unlikely to have any strong connections. Coco - Has no connections. Was blindsided in round 2, and seems to be making no effort to help her position. Shadow - Has no connections. Literally cannot name an alternative pair to eliminate this round.

I just got a PM from 12.
Yes you read that right, 12 messaged me.
But he just said like how did you figure out that I'm nerfing myself to be more rootable? Because I asked him earlier.
Anyways idk if he is going to follow through with his dont talk plan but regardless of that, Ulysees the grim reaper and Zod the Bringer of War will gladly sign his death warrant.

I feel a bit bad for shadow and coco, but pity isn't a compelling reason to keep people around at this stage. Read my district thread. Shadow can't throw out an alternative vote to save his life. hybrid05.freeforums.net/post/5820/thread

Gah, I'm finally out of that damn freezer. Mr Freeze, you think you can lock me away and steal my lime-light of asking questions, well think again buddy!
Cold-Hearted Questions! 1) This is the first time (and maybe last time) in which you can eliminate a whole district without any fear of them coming back, does this change how you vote in this round? 2) Which district would you want to be facing in the final challenge and how will you ensure that it's just you and them there? 3) Do you think your partner is strong enough to help you win the final challenge? Would you ever get yourself sent to the eliminator to get a better partner? 4) How should I get my revenge on Mr Freeze locking me in a freezer?
Player specific question!!! My final question will be tailor made to you! 5) You don't seem to be too keen on your partner, what's annoying you most about them and how will you deal with any conflicts in the future, also how will you deal if there isn't a partner swap twist?

1. oh is that what we were doing? i thought it was just a normal round. oh well 2. someone below me in the RTCI chart. I will keep it updated and think about it later. right now i wanna kill the ppl bad at challenges to lower my relative threat level. 3. The partners are swap probably so i dont think i ever want to go to the eliminator. If i make it to F5 I will probably end up there at least once.
5.Fenrir is good at challenges. I was paranoid about him earlier because I thought he was hiding stuff from me and just agreeing with everything I say, but I feel like doing that picture challenge brought us closer together. Also, I get paranoid about anyone I'm close to. We really are in a similar position in the game right now so I think I can actually trust him. Because of that, I don't see us having many conflicts. We powered through this round with a similar thought process: keep river song as a secret ally to sabotage our by proxy alliance later down the road.
I also had the feeling of wanting to kill him because he knows too much. I said a bit too much in my thread with him (like my floater strategy) and while I don't expect him to leak that, I also like having my tracks covered. Hillariously, he's claiming to be doing the same thing as me and I sold him out to Ulysses for it, so if anyone takes the fall later it should be him.
Seriously, have a plan to kill everyone you meet in every LSG. For people outside your inner circle, that can be as simple as vote them off using pure numbers. But for people inside the inner circle, you need to get more creative. I am very interested to see how my strategy plays out in this game moving forwards. The strategy being to turn all my closest allies against each other as soon as I meet them.
I sold out Ulysses and Kirby to Fenrir. I sold out Fenrir to Ulysses. I sold out Kirby to River Song. I don't think I've sold out river song yet, but it's clear that fenrir and I don't plan to endgame with her.
The idea is that you create these rifts early on, so that everybody links to you but not each other. And the way you sell them out is to make it seem like they're not a threat now, but they will be down the road. Fenrir is okay for now... but he'll be the first to turn on our alliance. Kirby/Ulysses are okay for now... but they're going to get paranoid about us later. River Song is okay for now... but later she will be a loose cannon challenge threat and we need to cut her.
So in the early game I just keep them all close as numbers and everything goes really cleanly while we sweep up the weak and easy boots. And then in the late game, I'm the queen, but no one knows I'm the queen because everyone correctly thinks their alliance with me is a deep secret. And they all distrust each other so nobody looks at me. The seed of conflict was planted 5 rounds ago and you by now you think it's your own idea.
Think Regigias convincing Tapu Lele and Meltan to distrust each other in legendary, but on a massive scale of like 4 to 6 people all at once.
Honestly I don't think this format is the best for it since I'll probably just get eliminator'd by default lategame because I'm a challenge threat, but imagine if this game had a jury instead. Just imagine the damage you can do if you pull this off.
