Susan says there's an alliance between D4-D10-D12 and I actually believe her. Like, I very very very much 100% know it's a thing. So here's the solution to the entire game: 1. win the challenge 2. Get stich & ted cruz on board to vote out D10, should be easy considering he's the alternative target 3. Hopefully tracer survives, so now Kirby's right hand man Ulysses is dead and Susan/Tracer is our girl now 4. Win immunity again 5. Vote out and nominate D4 and D12, since D4 is the strongest at challenges outside of us, this basically weighs them down with a ball and chain from District 12 6. Win immunity again 7. Vote out Susan/Tracer and Ted/Stitch because dragging the crippled D4 to final 3 is very good for us 8. Win immunity again, we just need to worry about beating the survivor from D7/D8 in this challenge since D4 is crippled. 9. The remaining two pairs will battle, Kirby probably survives along with somebody else 10. We take on the final boss of the game (Kirby), and then emerge victorious

That's nice that you have some time to relax at least. I still have a lot of work, and most of my hours need to be rescheduled since my store's hours have shrunk drastically, so it's going to be hard to gauge how much time I'll have to focus on this game. Yeah, that's basically what I was thinking too. I was just talking to Gilly about how the vote went down from my side of things. Well it technically wasn't an alliance since we never explicitly stated as such but it essentially was one, or at least for me it was one, but even then I only let 1 know after they've already found out about it since I didn't feel comfortable leaking Gilly's plans. I've hardly been PMing anybody lately, and I'm not inclined to push myself harder than I feel like, really. It sounded like Gilly was more upset than straight up mad when she PMed me, so this caught me off guard, and I'm a bit frustrated by it all. Wow, so Stitch ACTUALLY DID tell river song. So when he came clean to gilly, it just made him look like even more of a liar. My lies are freaking ON POINT this game.

D7 wins immunity? Interesting.
Hopefully we can get the 3-3* blindside.
I don't think killy will do anything but target me.

Time to just play dumb with the D4-D10-D12 alliance and see what happens.
Hopefully ted and susan don't stab me.
Susan has a very strong interest in stabbing me honestly, but if she acts against it that would be very funny and good.

When I say play dumb, I mean like target D12 as a decoy vote, even though I know they are allied with 4/10. So yes, that is playing extremely dumb like I have no idea what the gamestate is right now and I'm actively making dumb moves.
Or so it would appear.
Unless I actually am making dumb moves and 7/8 will just stab me regardless. That's always a possibility.

Conversation between Ted and myself. The way I see it, we have 12 hours to debunk Ulysses & Killy's BS and decide which one of them we want to kill. And all we need to do is convince D7 to act in their own best interests and trust someone who wants to keep them in the game over someone who has been very vocal about gunning for them. If only that was as easy as it sounds. I feel like I'm playing mafia in LYLO right now and ted is clear. And I'm the townie. I hate playing mafia, and I hate playing as town even more. I've got a yes or no question for you. Did you tell Gilly that Stitch leaked the nomination to Shuichi? If yes, why did you do this? If no, why do you think Gilly is saying that you did? Additional question, are you aware that River (and presumably Shuichi) didn't know that they were District 4's nomination until after we decided to flip? They thought they were in danger of being the vote, not District 4's nom. Sorry if this comes off as hostile or accusatory. I want to trust you and work with you, especially after last round. But I also want to clear the air and iron out any misunderstandings or inaccuracies. I actually read my board with Fenrir before this, so I was prepared. Here we go. It's OK, this is just part of dealing with a round where D4 doesn't feel safe. They're gonna start as many fires as they can until they feel like they're not in danger anymore. 1. No, I did not tell Gilly that Stitch leaked the nomination to Shuichi. I was on the other side of the PM wall, so I had no idea who told who what. When discussing with Gilly after the merge, Gilly told me "The only two people who I told were Stitch and Ulysses, so it must have been Stitch". I just agreed with her because I didn't have any information and she did. As far as I can tell, this was an original idea from Gilly. 2. If yes, why did you do this? I didn't. 3. If no, why do you think Gilly is saying that you did? Because she wants to eliminate someone outside her 4-10-12 alliance, and she's upset that her easy boot that would have given her alliance a majority over the game won immunity, so she's trying to turn us against each other to get me out instead, 'cause I'm the only other option. I was also likely the first person she had that conversation with, because I watched her walk through her thought process to come to the conclusion that Stitch leaked. 4. That contradicts what happened with me: I logged on to see a message from river song, upset that she was being nominated, which was before we decided to flip. She didn't tell me her source, just "Last I heard, Gilly is thinking about nominating us." For the record, I also had an alliance from round 1 with River Song, and she seemed very serious about it too. It was on the basis of us both being big names/challenge threats because (I think) she was feeling insecure after winning the first challenge. I trusted her a lot because on round 1 she sent 2 PM's back to back that made it seem like she was really scared of losing me over a misunderstanding. River song wasn't my closest ally in the game, but I might have been among hers. Where are you getting that from, your own experience or did someone else tell you that? If you do trust me, and I really hope you do given that I'm telling the truth and I hope it's clear enough what Gilly is trying to do here, there's only 13 hours left on the deadline and we haven't decided on a vote. I can confirm from my own experience too that the 4-10-12 block is a thing: because the first thing that Kirby said this round when he was feeling vulnrable and unsafe after getting blindsided was that he was thinking that they had good relations with D12 and could potentially ally them (at the time his tone implied like, with me as well, but mysteriously dropped that), also it's an open secret that Ulysses and Kirby are super tight. And susan says she doesn't wanna join it because she would be right at the bottom. Susan does not want to vote out D12 for obvious reasons, that would be like putting cement shoes on herself and jumping in a lake. Both D10 and D4 are the ones who were originally targeting you. I have no preference who goes, since I'm likely the alternative vote. I'll take whatever I can get. Susan has a preference for D10 because she doesn't like Killy, but she does admit that it "might be better for the game" if one of D4 goes home and she just has to wrangle with the survivor. So a lot hinges on what you want to do here. If you don't care who goes, then D10 is the easiest choice because Susan already voiced slight preference for it. If you want D4 we just need to talk to susan and it should get done smoothly as well. I know your schedule seems to follow a non-EST timezone so I just want to get this message to you now and not risk running out of time. And if there's anything you're still hesitating on about me, just ask it ASAP, I won't get offended. Thanks to coronavirus I'm stuck at home 24/7 and almost always in front of a computer, and I'll be around up to and including deadline.

So yeah, the only lie here is that River Song PM'd me telling she was being nominated. That never happened. I just need to gaslight Ted into thinking he's crazy and that I'm the one who really knows the truth. Good on Ted if he can figure me out for it. But if he figures out I'm lying and doesn't trust me, that's bad for him because if he doesn't trust me he dies next round. But you know those trials in Dangan Ronpa V3 [class trial 2 spoilers] where you have to lie, even though your motivation is really just to get the other innocents closer to the truth? Yeah. That's what's happening right now.

Oh, I know. And I've been cackling about it. It's like, everybody keeps trying to play this like Survivor, and it's like yo, this ain't Survivor. It's got it's own rules on how alliances and all work. It's much more like Endurance and Big Brother. You can't make the promises you would in other games, so you can't really use those same agreements you would in any of those games. Like come on, use the game in front of you correctly. So like it's partly about individuals, so build things that way. How I've been playing it, and will continue to do so. Oh Ulysess did try to say that your district is part of why mine was in the discussion at all last time. And maybe possibly Fenrir was but, nah, I don't trust that. You'd been nothing but honest to me thus far, and what would you have gained from me leaving? It worked, I believe. Ted and Stitch seem to have bought my lie. Ted just gave me a short "I trust you, I'll get you a full response in a bit". Stay tuned for that. D4 is gonna get blindsided for a second time in a row. This is an epic story arc. Looks like Susan has been successfully subscribed to my podcast: "Everything I Say Is True". I might have sold out Susan to Ulysses a while back, but there's no way she would ever believe that when I've been working in her interests this whole time. I literally styled on my former alliance so hard that we're not even playing the same game anymore. They're playing checkers and I'm over here playing slither.io 'cause I'm a freaking snake.

Weird that nobody on the other side is even logging on. I suppose I could get paranoid if I wanted. But in order for me to be paranoid, D7 would need to stab me (AKA the archenemies of D4) or Susan would need to stab me (AKA my in-game wife but not in a weird way we both consented), two things that I just don't think are happening.

What a surprise, I wasn't expecting a 3-3 vote.
Looks like that ~alliance~ kirby formed was not that solid after all.

Specbot Questions! 1) Final 5, if you don't win immunity here, how safe are you feeling? what's the general feeling around who the likely boot is here? 2) If you're sent to the eliminator this round, who would you want to have as a partner for the final couple of rounds to give you the best chance of winning? 3) If you win here, who are you sending to the eliminator? 4) If you were to create a Hybrid bot that sums up how you've played how would you distribute your 100 points between STRENGTH, SAVVINESS, and SOCIABILITY? And what would be your general voting strat? 5) What's your biggest worry for the final couple of rounds? and how can you prevent it?
