Spectator questions! 2 Players down already, sponsors being thrown around and that was only round 1 1) Do you know where the sponsorships came from? 2) Are you happy with the players who came out of the eliminator and how are you now are going to deal with them? 3) If a twist allowed you to swap partners would you and if yes, who would you want as a new partner and why? 4) Looking ahead, the overall winners of this game will be determined by challenges, would you/have you thrown any challenges to reduce your threat level? 5) In the spectator area we have a thread specifically for the best and funniest quotes of the game, are there any quotes from your PMs that you feel deserve a place in this thread? 1) River got hers from the banner. Montreal's is probably a reward for being bad. 2) I got one PM from Harbinger all game, and that was after the shipwreck ended. We weren't in the same PM group. As far as I'm aware, he never existed in this game. Trying to talk to Tapu Lele was an impossible task, so I don't miss her. I don't think my relationship with Tetra has changed at all; we are amicable. I'll try to repair my relationship with Wenya, but I'd rather see him gone for good. Did I talk about my Wenya drama in here? I probably didn't. 3) Not at this moment. 4) I don't need to throw in order to not be a threat 5) Yes.

Round 3 Questions: 1. You are now participating in your third challenge. Are you liking the challenges so far or have you found them to be too easy? What sorts of challenges do you hope to see going forward? 2. Two Sponsors were played last round, WOW! That's intense. Do you think there are more Sponsors around for the taking? How did the Sponsor plays affect your game? 3. Have you given any thoughts to alliances? Which Districts do you see yourself aligning with? Are there any players you want to work with that you feel your partner might not? 4. Is Peeta Mellark the worst spec of all time for stealing half my questions?! 5. Provide a ranking of all of the players by who you trust to who you don't trust. (including your partner if you wish) 4b) Gonna take a stand here, is Peeta Mellark the best spec for giving the true hard hitting but also entertaining questions, not just every round but every stage of every round? 4c) Who would come out of the eliminator alive, me or Effie Trinket? 1. I liked the first two. Not a fan of this one, though I probably would've tried grinding for a zero if I had the time. 2. I hate this item. I hope there aren't more, or that they at least won't become available for a long time. River used her to send a team at the bottom instead of making a play, which I appreciate. She and I also bonded over me knowing how she found it. 3. I am in so many alliances. 4. I dislike that style of spectating. 4b) No. 4c) Either way, Caesar Flickerman is the real winner. 5. No.

Spectator Questions! It appears that District 8 won that challenge, they must've really trained for it. 1) If a twist allowed you to send 2 individual players rather than a whole district to the eliminator, who would you send? 2) Do sponsors change how you talk to players before potentially voting for them? and is there anyone you suspect might have a sponsor? 3) Should there be a punishment for players who repeatedly ignore my questions and if so, what should it be? 4) Which District do you really want sent in this round, and which District (other than your own) would you want to protect this round? 5) In theory there's only 10 rounds in this game (2 players eliminated each round and final round being 4 players), which round of the game do you think is the right time to turn from quiet players to players who are threats to your game (either socially or challenge wise) 5b) Who are those threats to you? 1) This is a fascinating question. Please make all future questions as good as this one. I think Star would be one of them because I think I can work with Coco but haven't connected with Star yet. The other is definitely 12. 2) No and no. Even without sponsors, there's a 50% chance the person you're voting for comes back. 4) I'm fine Districts 11 and 12 going, which should happen if District 8 doesn't get wacky with their nomination. I want all of my many allies to stay safe. 5) We can stop pruning inactives once the inactives are finished being pruned. I think the best time to send a pair of challenge threats to the Eliminator would be a round where you also think you're going. (It would require some interesting social dynamics to get nominated but have enough influence to affect the other nomination!) That way, you'll get a good new partner if you survive. 5b) I'm invincible.

I worry that when the inevitable District shakeup occurs, Stitch and I will lose access to the sub-forum we're using to talk. I don't think any other players will gain access, but not being able to go back and see those messages will be annoying. I'm not going to say anything to him about it though. And maybe I'm wrong! About the first two things, not the third one. Don't let the third one be wrong.

Alliances and whatnot:
Ulysses - He was my #1 in the shipwreck, and he says that I was his too. After how well we hit it off at the start, we were definitely going to work together regardless of being paired or not.
Ulysses and Pikachu - Pikachu thinks he has a trio with us. He's a loose cannon that we want pointing away from us instead of at us. This was also established before pairs.
Ulysses, Beetlejuice, Pikachu, Donald, and Stitch - Expanding our 'trio' to our partners. I might not have actually told Stitch about this yet. I don't remember, and I don't care.
Ulysses, Beetlejuice, Gilly, Kirby, Fenrir, Zod, and Stitch - Four-District alliance between a bunch of active players that like each other. There was a general agreement that going for an outright majority would make the alliance too unwieldy. I'd like this group to be legit and stay together.
River, Shuichi, and Stitch - This District alliance was already established before River's item was a factor.
Tracer, Birdo, and Stitch - This isn't going to cement itself unless Stitch gets as good at pretending to like Birdo as I am.
Coco? - This isn't really anything yet, but I like Coco and she claims to be a newbie. I want to take her under my wing. So that she can help me soar, of course.

Spectator questions! Time for an epic eliminator battle! 1) Did you know who was planned to be sent to the eliminator? 2) How much control did you have over this vote? Did you want these players sent in or would you rather someone else? 3) Who are you hoping makes it out here and why? 4) Only 1 player noticed my pun in my last set of questions and this makes me sad, as a punishment I want a pun from everyone about the current battle in the eliminator 5) Round 3 is coming up, what kind of challenge would you like to come here and what kind of challenge would you hate to have?

This is a good example of why I dislike cookie cutter spectator questions every round. If you read my confessional/public chat with Stitch, you'd already know the answer to this question. 2) Who cares about this vote? District 8 nominating District 5 was much more interesting. I'm glad that Coco was the one to survive. 3) Oh right, you asked this before the results. Coco. 4) I noticed it. 5) I'd like a challenge I'm good at. I'd hate a challenge I'm bad at or that is not fun.

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? Ted cruz personal questions: Making some questions just for you, might just be this round, might have some more in future, depends on the quality of your answers... And of your meme 1) You seemed to be a fan of Coco and 5, did you do anything to try to save them from going into the eliminator 2) What's your campaign slogan for this game? 3) From your list of alliances, who are you most willing to cut when the time comes

1) It would've been neat if Montreal stuck around to soak up votes for another round, but I'm fine with him being gone. Coco surviving is what I care about because of wanting to mentor her into becoming the perfect shield for me.
2) I will try my best. I am terrified we will do poorly.
3) Either of District 1. Zod because I haven't spoken to him in a long time. Gilly. Coco. Donald. Susan. Ulysses. Tracer. Tetra.
4) I will do this later.
5) My plan is unaffected, unless one of my main allies gets eliminated. Districts 6 and 12 are the only Districts where I don't mind seeing either person eliminated. 5, 8, and 10 are all acceptable too.
This is exciting!
1) I did not. I would be a little sad if Coco had been eliminated last round, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone.
2) Cruz Can't Lose
3) Pikachu. Incredibly easy answer. District 10 would be next on the list, but I'm in no rush to dump them.
