It feels great to make it to the merge, but in retrospect I wish that my tribe had either lost the challenge or that we'd given immunity to yellow instead of green. It just breaks my heart that Jiggly came so close to the merge and missed out like that, and that if I had known she was in trouble I could have convinced Ness to save her. Or if we'd lost we had an easy boot in Wario and someone might have saved yellow and left me with a much more reliable ally. I'll be trying to work with Wario but I won't be trusting him because I know he doesn't trust me, and he should realise he's damn lucky to make it this far.

What happens now is entirely dependent on who wins the challenges and which formats are chosen. But the incessant merge PMing has begun - I'll be posting some of the more interesting exchanges here in my confessional later. And as far as I know the plan for the Fox secret group of four, the Squirtle secret group of three, Samus and I to team up is still going down. If any of this group wins I should be safe, except possibly in the case of an arena round because I have no idea how that's going to work with only one tribe. I think there are enough bigger threats within the group for me to avoid being nominated in a BB round for a little while, though if anyone outside our alliance wins one of those rounds I will of course be worried because of the idols floating around and the possibility of being put up against someone who's holding one of them. Snake and I can be as close as possible and yet it wouldn't make a difference if we were both nominated in a BB round, he would have to take me out with his idol to protect himself.

Not all the reds will be sticking together to the end, no way in hell. It's possible the endgame could be all reds but I already have in mind that it's necessary to take out at least one of Fox/Snake/Ness along with Wolf to keep their secret group from screwing me over. My first choice would be Ness, closely followed by Fox because he's very strong in challenges and I don't trust him fully. Snake, I will never betray him (unless he betrays me first, but I don't think he will), and I will do everything I can to get to the end with him. I'm looking forward to finding out when the jury starts because it may give a hint to whether we'll be heading towards a final three facing the jury or a final two. I guess if it's a final three my ideal third would be Squirtle because he's loyal, and yet kind of flighty and ineffectual at times so I feel like I could beat him in the end. But who knows what's going to happen before we reach the end of the game, it's very hard to predict how everyone's going to play from this point on.

My thoughts on the new people, I'll post more fully later, because some left before I could talk to them much and I'll need the weekend to assess everything. But so far, I've really liked talking to Lucas and Peach, and fucking despise Ice Climbers with a fiery passion that I want to see scorch the hair from their sad, sorry faces.

I have to talk to my reds before I know exactly what the plan will be for Sunday, we're all adopting a bit of a divide-and-conquer tack right now so we haven't really spoken since the merge started. But right now - if it's Arena, absolutely no idea because I just don't know how it's going to work. If it's Big Brother, I want Ice Climbers up against Zelda, but possibly not as the first nominations to get them to slack in the veto and get backdoored. If it's Survivor, then Ice Climbers would be my ideal boot.

And apart from the secret group alliance I've already mentioned, where I still haven't had a chance to talk to a few of the people involved, I wouldn't say I have any new allies. But I've been talking to people I don't actually intend on aligning with, mostly just social stuff, in the hopes that if someone outside the alliance wins and is making a decision like BB noms they might like me enough to work with me. Most of my talks have had a subtext of indicating that I'm willing to work with new people and give everyone a chance, so if they end up seeing me as a potential ally hopefully it'll go some way towards keeping me safe. Sure they may be disappointed when I eventually vote them out, but I won't technically be betraying any alliances, and then if I really do need them for something like taking out secret group members within my actual alliance, they're more likely to be receptive to my ideas. In theory, anyway. God knows how some people's brains work in these games sometimes.

lyk ur irrational h8 4 ice climbers iz lyk so lame :rolleyes:

I am waiting on you posting your interesting PM exchanges and such. -_-

Also, your salon thread is epically genius. At merge in games, usually shit gets quiet and slow in the main forums, but not in this one. Thanks for entertaining USSS. :pwub

I only just found out that the way the ICs post is supposed to reflect that there's five of them. Like, each different colour is one of their personalities. And none of their personalities can spell. :rolleyes: Did I ever mention here how I keep on having to think about how I spell 'colors' and things like realize where the Z should be an S in PMs because I don't want to give away where I'm from this time? I'm sure I've accidentally done it the right, non-American way at least a few times by now. :lol:

I will totes get round to the PMs thing soon, don't worry, G&W might get sidetracked but he follows through on his promises. Why is G&W now talking in the third person? :iiam

And I love my salon, it's my livelihood... actually I got inspiration for it from a PM exchange with Peach which I will post later. But now I realise I'm actually going to have to makeover like ten people and second-guessing if it was a good idea. :P

What's going on? Are the pancakes fresh?

What are your thoughts on the last round? Did you think Lucario might be toast on that vote?

What is the plan for tonight? If the format goes into Survivor/BB/Arena what is supposed to happen?

We shouldn't have to change. It's the rest of the world who should change.

Anyway, I'll try to keep the answers brief because as per usual I'm up way too late, but have the added pleasure of a splitting headache from lack of sleep.

I wouldn't call my pancakes fresh. Considering what's in them I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to call them pancakes.

The last round was pretty disconcerting, and when I saw five votes for Lucario I definitely thought he was going home. I don't have plans to work with him to the end, but this round would definitely have been too early for him to leave. The fact that only six of my supposed alliance voted together shows that two people flipped their vote against the group - we know one is Wario, and although I assumed the other was Peach and still think it's a distinct possibility, the other is probably Samus.

So the plan for tonight if the six of us actually remain together with all the accusations wafting round is to vote Zelda in a Survivor round (as long as she doesn't keep challenge whoring it up) and ensure that even in the event of a tie, we get her out with her past votes from the two arena visits. If it's Big Brother, then we put up some combination of Zelda, Wario and Luigi, plus possibly some others depending on how many nominations need to be made. And if it's an Arena round, well we still have no idea how that works with one tribe, do we? A lot of people are assuming the top two vote-getters go into the arena, in which case we would probably vote Luigi as seemingly the weakest challenge performer so whoever on our side gets voted in has an easier time beating him.

Last night was filled with many epics!

How are things going with the aftermath of all that?

Where do things stand for you and the others who voted for Lucas last night?

What is the plan now?

You certainly did. I'll try to answer in three different ways. :pwub

As far as only I'm concerned, things aren't going too badly after the failed vote for Lucas. I still don't feel like I'm a target at all, probably because so far I've sucked in the challenges and everyone seems to feel I'm on their side. And possibly because I sort of feel like I'm becoming a goat who people wouldn't mind going to the end with. I've been meaning to start a thread elaborating on this feeling which has been growing for me over the last few rounds - and I still will at some point, I've been away from the computer too often to post as much as I'd like. I'm really behind on my CIH updates, and still have so many makeovers to do, all very important stuff. But there have been hints that the people here have no respect for me - I mean just look at what Wolf said to me as he left the game. I follow his stupid last-minute plan to vote out Lucas, he gets pwned rather epically by Squirtle, and he thinks somehow I'm to blame for that? He said 'Samus was right about me'... everyone knows Samus is a compulsive liar so it's disappointing to see him believe whatever's she's been saying about me after all the talks we had (that's something else I've been meaning to do - I have to transfer some of my more significant PM exchanges here in case I really do make the finals and need them for quick reference... however if I get there as a goat and know it I'm probably just going to spend the whole time telling everyone to go fuck themselves).

I have managed to deflect the most heat off myself for voting for Lucas out of everyone who did because, although Lucas was disappointed with me, unlike the others who voted for him (other than Lucario but obviously he and Lucas are sworn enemies) I never had any kind of alliance with him. We had a strong bond because of our pop culture talks and talked a bit of game but I never swore any sort of allegiance to him, so he can't be as mad at me as he is the others. In fact I know he isn't, because he's furious at Samus/Zelda for turning on him and he wants either Lucario or Snake out next (bitch better leave my Snake alone though, for real, or else I'll have to get protective and peck his eyes out). There's even still a slight opportunity I'll end up working with Lucas in the near future, even though I would not want to face him at the end. Wolf might say he turned himself into the perfect goat, but I don't think Lucas is a goat in any way, shape or form. I even wonder if Wolf was lying when he said that to see the people left take Lucas to the end to be trounced by him - objectively, Lucas is a player he should respect, though I would also understand Wolf hating Lucas for the way he acted last night.

And here's the thing with the plan for tomorrow - I am currently straddling the alliances on both sides and, although I only intended to stay loyal to Snake's side when Wolf was still in the game, now that the power has shifted I have to think about what benefits me the most. I still intend to fight my hardest to get myself and Snake to the end, if possible, but the rest of that alliance is Lucario, who I'm not particularly close with, as well as Samus and Zelda, who I know have been playing every side and just lying through their teeth, Samus especially. And I'm not interested in letting Zelda get far enough to win every challenge and then the votes of the jury who probably respect her bland challenge whoring. Then there's the alliance of myself/Squirtle/Peach/Pikachu, which is probably going to have pulled in Lucas by the time I get up tomorrow. I get along with the people on that side better, except maybe Pikachu, but Squirtle making moves like the one he did tonight makes me nervous when I'm left in the dark until the votes are read. Tentatively, I'm thinking I'm going to stick with the Snake side because he is my wonderful, almost-Raph-quality partner through all of this, and because I think Zelda and Lucario make that side the strongest in challenges, and that would give me a better chance of staying safe past the point where I decide on who I'm going to betray. But I don't see myself going down to five with them, and will be trying to re-form something new in the next few rounds.

What I'm really hoping for the next round though is that people aren't spreading round that I'm aligned with both sides. I just want to keep myself completely off of anyone's plans for the vote, and especially out of the nominations in a BB round. But playing both sides could just as easily turn into getting Dollied if enough people start talking about it. If I do get away with it, I'm about to piss off even more people with whatever I decide to do in the next round... I really do need to get around to that thread dissecting how big a goat I'm becoming. But another time, because as usual it's horribly late, I need sleep and essay much? I really didn't mean to be quite this wordy. I babble when I'm tired.
