Fine by me. I've heard nothing from donald or coco here, so I'm like 1000% ok voting her.
How're you feeling about it?

I'm fine with it. I feel bad for Pikachu but if D3 is choosing them and not us, then that's fine by me.
We are leaving in a bunch of strong teams, and although we are strong - there are some stronger than us. I don't think we are seen as "weak" but we aren't seen as "too strong" either.
I feel like we have a really good connection with a lot of the teams left, yes?

Yea we are def not the strongest challenge team around.
I feel like we're relatively close with other teams, but I don't get the feeling we're anyone's #1 ally. I get the feeling the teams we're close to are also close to each other, and they're probably closer to each other than we are.
I feel like districts 1,3,4,8,9 are all potentially worryingly close with each other. My hope is that after this or the next exterminator, they will start to think about the lategame/endgame.
That said, I've had good chats with all of them, and also had good chats with district 7 as well. So I feel like we're not the "least connected", but I'm not sure which of the other districts actually is "least connected". Maybe 7? Maybe Ulysses can be exposed as creating these "deep" alliances with everyone? I'm really not sure.
Who do you personally feel closest to? I think this is where we gotta turn the charm up to 11.

I think you're right on that. The other districts do seem close, I guess it's just wishful thinking that we would be lumped in with them. 1 and 3 definitely seem close. I don't know enough about 4. District 8 I think can be an easy out because they win competitions and "12" is really hard to talk to.
I agree with you on Ulysses. He is playing really hard and making "deep" alliances when it doesn't matter. Zod talked with me about keeping the "strong teams" together, but I don't know if that includes us.
I do think we have to start playing a bit harder now. Do you agree that we should send in District 5 in the vote? Would it be possible to send in someone different if we could get the votes?

If they're talking to you about keeping "strong teams" together, it should mean he includes us. I'm not sure how to get his read on who the other strong teams are... Is he talking strictly along challenge lines, or is he thinking about social strength as well?
I don't think 8 will be an easy out. They only won 1 challenge, and susan has seemed pretty on the ball about messaging. That said, people don't like 12 much and he's a huge pain to chat with. I expect 8 will be a boot, but it will probably be a push and I expect a counterwagon to be real.

As for this vote, I'm super down with sending in 5 and 6. They're people I've heard nothing from. If I don't hear from them I can't work with them.

Round 5. I am so happy we made it this far. Do you have a gameplan for this round? Do you think we should try to get certain pairs in? I am down to make a move if you think we need to.

For starters let's not get last on this challenge. It's another one of those rounds. Yikes.
How comfortable are you with puzzles?

I feel comfortable. Do you think though that I should do the easier puzzles then? Since we score points for the “most puzzles completed” would it make sense to have the better puzzle person do the easier puzzles?

Post by Tracer on Mar 10, 2020 6:50:02 GMT
That seems possible. If there are few enough puzzles that even I can solve every one, or that you can solve all of the more difficult ones, then putting the better player on the harder puzzles seems better.
If there's too many for us to possibly do, then you're probably correct b/c there's no benefit to solving harder puzzles it looks like.

Also update for you:
I've been talking with Zod more and more, and I think D1/D3 are pretty close. I believe they want to work with us, but I am not sure if that makes us the 3rd district out, or a part of their group. Not sure how to read it just yet. I know you've been doing a great job communicating with everyone - everyone I've talked to says how much they enjoy talking with you and how they love your conversations. It's really opened us up to a good late game in my opinion.

Susan (District 8) is telling me that she is worried about District 7 (Ted/Stitch), 4 (Kirby/Gilly) and 9 (Beetle/Ulysses) in that they don't talk to her as much as the "other districts do". Which really just leaves 1 and 3 (and 12, but do they count if people are going to see them as easy votes everytime?).
I am getting worried that 1/3 are very close and are in some sort of alliance together and trying to make everyone work with them. Do you have a read on this?

Ok I'm around the rest of the night, and I'll be awake early tomorrow.
Are you gonna be around for the puzzles!
I just realized we got an extension, so perhaps tomorrow night!

Just a reminder you do not need to complete the puzzles simultaneously. You just need to designate who is doing which and then you will do the challenge independently of one another.

Hey, I’m not feeling the greatest so whatever you decide to do tonight, I’m fine with. I’ll do the challenge when I wake up tomorrow whether it’s the hard or the easy challenge.

If that’s what you wanna do! I can do the hard puzzles if you want me to. I really don’t mind either way.

KK. I guess I'll do the easy ones? As long as I do them all it should be fine.
