Uhhh.... I certainly didn't expect to receive 5 PMs this morning. And both River and Shuichi are gone.

Time to go on an apology spree, I guess! I just sent a long PM to Gilly about it that was maybe a bit too honest, but like I just can't bring myself to concoct some grand narrative about it all. I didn't mention anything about 3 though, which I dunno if I should've or not but I didn't want to throw them under the bus since he's like one of the only people I'm fairly sure I'm still good with.

Spectator questions! Halfway point! Congratulations teams!!! 1) How much sway did you have in the last vote? Did you want D9 to be sent, are you happy with who came back? 2) Gimmie a quick rankings of the other 5 Districts in order from next boot to who you wanna face in the final. Feel free to say why 3) There's no Jury in this game, nobody to hold you accountable for how you play, how does this change how you play? 4) For viewers at home who have just tuned in, give us an update on the first half of the game, do it in one of the following styles a) Olaf from Frozen 2, b) Luis from Ant-Man c) The start of a TV show giving you a 'Previously on' 5) What's the plan to get the end of from here

I'll get to your questions later, Peeta. I'm still working on the answers and don't want to like postpone my confessionalizing until I can get to that, but even that will probably wait until like tomorrow.
Ted hasn't been around for a while now. I really hope he's OK.

Anyway, who actually told District 1 they were the nomination target? I'm pretty sure it wasn't D9, and Fenrir/Zod claimed it was you guys and that they were the last ones informed of the vote. Oh, and Gilly is really going off on you for some reason right now. Apparently some stuff got leaked on your side of the PM wall regarding nominating D1, and she thinks you're the one behind it. Are you serious right now? Like it's super obvious what Zod is doing but I dunno what I can do about it. I could clear up the truth with Gilly, but she might not even believe it first of all, and if it gets back to Zod he certainly wouldn't be happy with it. I could play along with it and minimize Zod's involvement, but that's obviously not going to pan out well for me in the long run since it'll just mean 4 and 10 become closer to 3 than me, but that might be better than just burning all of my bridges all together. This game's just really annoying to deal with, and I feel I'm going to be stuck on the bottom no matter what I try.

Hey no worries. Gilly seems to have taken the "Stitch leaking the D1 nomination" thing very seriously. Like, they're pushing for you guys to go this round. So much for that alliance they made. Oh yeah, and Susan tells me that Kirby's made a new alliance, with D4-D10-D12, and they're planning to come for both of us next, you this round me next round. Anyways, if one of us wins immunity, I'm thinking we can team up with Susan to vote out one of D4 or D10 this round in a 3-3 tie with tiebreaker, then send the other guys to the eliminator with D12 in final 5, effectively crippling them for final 4 and the rest of the game. Sorry if that's all a bit fast, you've been obviously out of the game a bit so I'm just trying to give you a quick catchup of what's been going on, and a plan that I wanna do to save you because I don't want to vote you guys out because there's an alliance that's formed against us that will kill us if we don't act immediately. So now I'm being pigeonholed into teaming up with 3 and 8 thanks to a lie 3 themselves pushed forward, that's just splendid. And I'm sure they're just going to end up voting me next round regardless of what happens and be all "boo hoo" about it, jfc. I mean I'm fine working with 8 now but 3? Ugh. I have no idea what I'm going to do, really. Oh yeah Susan also owned up about pushing my name out last round, which like I'm over it, and I don't have anyone I can remotely trust as much as her anyways.

I mean at this rate I think Susan's just going to be my partner next round assuming I can survive through the Eliminator, and then I'd basically only have 3, except not even that because I know they'll probably just end up blindsiding me, and I'm not cool with that. I'm thinking about just spilling the beans to Gilly, maybe before deadline even. I don't know if she's believe me, but I have to at least try to expose Zod, I think. It also doesn't really help that I don't even have much motivation to play this game anymore, but I'm going to try my best to push forward, even if it just means beating every Eliminator from here on out.
I feel like what has to happen this round is either 4/10/12 has to win immunity, since in theory that would mean me, 3, and 8 would have majority. Of course, that's only the case if 3 isn't just straight up lying to my face, so if that does happen, I'll just come back next round with vengeance. And if he does stay true to his word and vote out 4 or 10? I mean I'll probably just take him out anyways considering he's like a challenge beast anyways. But I'm not going to stand by and just be played with, even if I am a cute little alien dog.

I'm actually really stunned no one else finished the challenge? Like usually during these sorts of challenges I think I get a really good score / time and some team manages to finish it in like 30 minutes and I'm like "how the heck is that even possible?", but I guess not this time!

I kind of went from being completely hopeless to almost having full control of the vote? Like 12 is off the table 100% it seems like given Susan doesn't want that, but really after this whole mess that's completely off the table anyhow. So for me it's either 4 or 3. I'm not interested in targeting 10 because I really do still like them and they aren't major threats to my game, or at least not as much as 3 or 4 are. I do want to take a shot at 3, but like I also really need to try to break up 4 and 10 because I doubt they'd ever turn against each other. I really don't want to wait until it's too late to try to knock out Zod though because I can easily see him coasting to the endgame and winning against practically any matchup. Ugggghh I don't really know what to do.

Well I guess technically I could get blinsided this round, but like other than 10 going I'd be fine with any result really. I don't have any loyalty to 12, 4 and 3 are both pretty significant threats, so like yeah.

I mean I don't want to do anything without Ted but I also don't want to leave everyone hanging. I kind of wish I got back to Gilly and Ulysses earlier, but oh well. I think I gotta make this count because I'll probably just end up being nominated/voted out like 80% of the time next round unless I win immunity again.

And I had Wenya tell me that there was a coalition between D10/D4/D12 and they could easily just pagong the rest of us with good challenge wins and it was my choice whether I joined or not. I think it was intended less threatening than it sounded though. Pff, of course Wenya spilled it. Of course she did.

Alright, so Zod's cool with going after 4, and Susan told him she'd be fine with that as well, but didn't PM me about it before she tuned out apparently. I'm not especially worried about it 'cus I do that sometimes, and it's pretty clear that 3 and 8 are very close as well anyways. It's just that I'm pretty sure it's near impossible for me to avoid both nomination and the vote next round unless we win two immunities in a row or something significant changes.

I'm not surprised they're not talking to you, considering you're their arch-enemy who is ultimately responsible for shedding the innocent blood of beetlejuice. Or something. They have a slightly different way of thinking about things, you can think of it like an alternative reality. They've stopped talking to me as well now that they've decided to target me. I wonder how long it will take them to start talking again. Really? Are they really just ghosting him and completely isolating themselves or is this just really blatant mainpulation?

Ugh, I wish I had fessed up to Gilly/Kirby about the vote. I did tell Ulysses like 10 minutes ago or something but he probably won't read it in time. I let Wenya know too for some reason but I don't think she'll get it either. I don't think I'm worried about being blindsided. Like, who would Zod even blindside anyways? I think I'm more curious to see what the actual split comes down to. I don't think it actually matter though since there wouldn't be any reason not to inform them of the vote more/less, even though I decided to leave them in the dark until the last second anyways, oops.

...Huh. Who was left out of the dust, 12 or 10? I mean I'm thinking it's probably Wenya given that she and Susan seem fairly close. I guess that technically doesn't rule out 10 not knowing since they could've just thrown a pity vote though.
Anyways, that vote went about as well as I expected it to. I don't think it actually improved my position in the game though, but I don't know if flipping to take out 3 would've done anything either. Oh well, it is what it is.

I don't think I'll have time to get to the questions, so just a basic overview of where my mind's at moving forward...
I think I'd rather have Kirby survive than Gilly, because I feel he'd be a bit more open to reconciliation, though I haven't messaged him at all through the merge which makes that not super likely. Ideally I'd prefer that at the very least the new 4 doesn't want to immediately go for my throat again. I don't really know where I want to head as far as endgame goes, and it'll depend a lot on on who wins immunity. Thinking in terms of F2s is a bit pointless considering it's impossible given that whoever doesn't win the challenge at F3 is guaranteed to be broken up. Ideally in terms of best matchups I'd want an F3 of me, 10, and 12, but actually getting it is another story entirely, plus I'd rather go far with players I like rather than just gamebot it the whole way through, and I haven't connected as well with 12 compared to other districts. I want D3 to go sooner or later because I'd have a tough time facing against Zod in the finale, but if we do happen to get paired (ie sent to the Eliminator together and come out alive) I'd feel pretty good about our chances of living, though if I had to ride it out with anyone it'd 100% be Ted and I certainly wouldn't be willing to get myself nominated or voted out to make that happen. We really only have two more votes to go, which means Ted and I have some wriggling to do unless we wanna try to comp-beast it to the end. I think the first order of business would be to see where the new 4/8's head is at and how willing they would be to work with me, because if they aren't that makes things a whole lot harder to navigate, and then I guess I'll take it step by step from there. I think I want 3 on the chopping block one way or another this round just to try to take out Zod before it's too late, but I'm not sure which of 4/12 I'd want, really. Not that I have a whole ton of control over the outcome anyway unless I win immunity again. So yeah, just taking it step by step for now.

Goodbye Gilly! It was nice playing with you even though we ended up hunting each other down by the end of it. Anyhow, to the next episode we go!
