Hey guys. Sorry about not confessionalizing more/at all. I'm really not that invested in this game at all.
Every single one of these votes feels like complete bullshit and it looks like about half of the players don't give a shit, and are just gonna get killed one after another, again and again.
I'm doing my best to keep my social game going, and I think it's keeping me from being at the bottom of the barrel as far as targeting goes.
I can't help shake the feeling we're getting setup for death though. If we do nothing but activity forever, my team will inevitably get targeted before, say, Shuichi and Riversong. Or Ulysses and beetlejuice. So this can't go on forever, but I'm willing to make the bet it's not going to go on forever, but it will probably go long enough to kill coco/shadow/wenya/donald/pikachu at least. I hope that Birdo isn't on that list for most other people.

It's so hard to care when it feels like only half of the players I can talk to care.
I've heard nothing from Coco literally the *entire game*. I get like 1 message from donald per phase, and it's usually "sorry for being AWOL. Life issues".
Even people I really want to chat with, like Gilly, become hard to talk to when there's no game to talk about.
It's like "yea every vote is gonna be unanimous b/c nobody gives a shit about who we're sending, as long as it's on this list of people nobody talks to. Because nobody talks to them, they don't realize they're the targets and they don't make a play". UGH.

Peeta is obviously the best spectator though. Those questions have all been fantastic and have done a good job of driving me out of my bordem/apathy based stupor.

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) I see you haven't responded to many of my questions, what would be a good question to ask you...and then what would your answer be?

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
LET'S GOOOOOOO!
This was probably the outcome I was most hoping for. I woulda been super happy to get shuichi or river song as well, but ulysses is gonna be hilarious. I expect us to blow up so hard and so fast. Go and check out the district chat for the analysis and strategy. I expect us to be much more active there with a ton more planning than I was with birdo. Seems like our activity styles might mesh more.

As for going forward, we're basically at f6 in a more normal survivor game. That's terrifying.
Going from f 10 to f6 in 2 rounds really shakes up the feel of the game. There are only 4 more eliminations (probably) before F2. How do we navigate ourselves to that position? Who do we want as our opposition? Challenge threat level becomes super real now. This is also where the alliances tend to break down right? Hopefully we've got the social connections still...
I might have burned them *all* over the last few days...

So many pm's in such a short time. Hooray for the endgame.
This feels so weird. The game looks like a 12 person game, but there are only 6 votes this round. Furthermore, assuming someone wins immunity they're gonna just be a tiebreaker in a 5 person vote, meaning it's really just 3-2 vote potentially.
There's tons of drama from last vote to exploit, and hopefully we can do that.
I'm stoked I get to plan with ulysses here. While I don't really like his social skills, at least he's around and we're able to talk game a ton and strategize, which is exactly what I need coming back out of the eliminator.

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 am so happy with who came back! Anyone else woulda been terrible.
Boot order ideal: 1)Zod/Fenrir 2)Kirby/Gilly 3) Stitch/Ted Cruz 4)Susan 5)Wenya/Tetra 6)US
3) Kill the people and not die.

Bonus question: What was up with the eliminator? Why did you go straight in to kill Birdo?

So before the challenge I told a number of people
"I want to get out of this with you and only you".
I figured a good way to show what I meant with that message was to immediately kill my partner, indicating I didn't want to get outta here with my partner, but with someone else. Hopefully they got that on the uptake.
I knew I needed to hide the following round because of how likely beetle would attack me. It felt like he was all in on getting outta here with ulysses.
The last round, I assumed (incorrectly) I was gonna get hunted b/c I was so exposed and I didn't think Ulysses *and* (I needed both) River Song to buy my alliance pitch (if I'd had a better read on what happened the previous vote, I probably would have known better. I don't think they were gonna work together in any universe there), so I needed some nonsense to happen. Namely, one of them to have bought my pitch and try to kill the other. Thankfully they did, so I got outta there with ulysses.

Susan is such a charmer. " It absolutely is D4 vs D3. It could have possibly been you if I had said I wanted it to be, but to be frank, I do not want to risk you, so I'm not okay with the vote being on you. I want to keep playing with you, so I still have your back even if I have your partner's slightly less so. I'd like to keep my spots of sunshine thank you kindly, and you're really the last one that just genuinely makes me smile every PM. "

There's no fucking way this is true. I try to be complimentary to her frequently, but a ton of my messages are pure game nonsense, where I say really nothing nice to her.
I guess we'll see if her money's where her mouth is.

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?

Spectator Questions: Sorry it's been a while, few things going on but I'm back now with some more of your favourite questions!!!
1) D12 coming in with a win there leaving 2 of D3,7 and 8 to be sent to the eliminator...what's your argument for why it shouldn't be you? 2) If it is you, which pair would you want to join you so that you're stronger when you come back out? 3) Given that this is the last voting round, does this change up how you play? there's no need for any social politics next round, you can burn all your bridges here if you like 4) If the geoguesser website could drop your character off anywhere in the world, where do you think they'd want to go? 5) Rank the remaining players in order of who you think has the best chance to win the game
