The Next Vote; that I may not survive

So I said when I voted for Marth that I didn't feel good about it, and I'll expand upon that now. The reason is, although only a couple of rounds ago it was my intention to take out Marth when our tribe got to seven, things have changed since then with the votes against me. I'm now very worried that someone is going to try to get the votes to at the very least, force a tie against me in the next round, in which case I would be gone... or gone into the arena, which could very well still be gone.

I didn't want to vote out Marth because I'm sure it wasn't him sending out stray votes for future rounds, as he got one himself in the round where Kirby left. And we talked a bit about who we thought might be up to something and I felt I had grown a bit closer to him. But unfortunately, it seems he wasn't taking enough time to talk to anyone else, because everyone was gunning for him this round as the most inactive and I couldn't do much to stop it. I wanted Ness out because he is my prime suspect at the moment, plus he's not in the original alliance of five I made in the first round or two. But when Marth didn't even show up for the challenge it left me little ammunition to argue against voting him out, and I had to just go along with the group decision.

Each round I go on in this game without finding out who placed that vote for me puts me at greater risk, and I'm starting to feel like Ness is being protected by someone on the tribe. I feel like maybe he's part of someone's secret group that is still whole and they want to keep it that way until the others have been broken up. Even as I write this, I'm getting messages from Squirtle and Fox mentioning Wario as our next potential boot when he was supposed to be part of our five-strong alliance. If that's the case, I'm suspicious of Fox especially, as he flat-out said that he'd rather vote Wario than Ness because he never 'connected' with Wario. It's just a strange time to change his mind with all the shit that's been happening, and with him knowing I'm worried about our alliance breaking.

So basically, I'm just trying to kill everyone with kindness this weekend. I'll be staying in communication with everyone as much as possible, being as friendly as I can but also try to gently nudge everyone towards voting for Ness next. I just want everyone to feel as though they can trust me and want to keep me around - even Ness, who if possible, I want to try and convince he should vote for Squirtle in case Ness wasn't the person voting for me, bringing Squirtle's number of past votes up to the same number as mine. And if I feel things aren't going my way, I'll let Wario know he's in trouble and let the shit-storm commence. Anything to keep the target off my back.

If the very worst does happen, as my increasing paranoia leads me to believe is a distinct possibility, and I am the target next round, I just have to pray for a swap to intervene and save me. I feel like if there was something like a tribe pick I'd have a good chance of ending up with Bowser and Jigglypuff and getting a new lease on life in this game. If I'm not incredibly lucky and a swap doesn't occur, I'll just hope that an arena round is chosen so I can at least hope to fight my way out and mutiny to Dragoon. And be a total cunt about it like Zelda. :wub: If the next round picked is Survivor and my tribe is not the winner, then that's going to be a very stressful TC for me.

Essay much? Well you told me you wanted me to explain.

That was a hot essay, you're confessionals have been ~amazing~ here. This is a huge step up from Ivy and Bunny combined, for real. I love every word of this and getting into your head gamewise. :pwub

So do you still feel like you may be in any danger since you posted this?

I know you've mentioned wanting Ness gone, but has that changed at all since you last confessed?

I'm trying so hard not to be boring in my confessional this time after being basically mute in my confessional as Bunny and the least talkative of anyone who made the merge as Ivy (although a had a couple of hot hot essays there too). I'm glad it's working. :wub: But it'll make things even more tragic if I end up being an early boot.

I was going to answer what you said about being in danger before, but then instead I went and did some TAR ORGing (btw, is your TAR game ever going to happen?) and watched Orphan (the first good horror film I've seen in a damn long time). Before I left, I was feeling a lot safer - I had talked to almost everyone about the boot (the only one I hadn't talked to so far being Ness), and was convinced there weren't going to be any votes going my way. But now I get back and Snake is telling me that last night must have been 'crazy' and there were a lot of PMs going around? I was excluded from all these discussions so I'm a little worried what that could mean. Snake and I talked it over and he thinks the discussion was still over who will be getting sent home out of Ness and Wario, and that he'll let me know if I have anything to worry about. But I'm worried anyway, and with the challenge only a few hours away - and me with my fucked up sleeping patterns still not in bed yet - I don't really have time to fix things if they're going wrong. I'll just have to hope things have been smoothed over by the time I get up so I don't have to scramble tomorrow.

As for wanting Ness gone, at this point I'm fine with Ness or Wario going, as long as it's not me I don't care any more. I said my bit to the others about why I'd be more comfortable keeping Wario, but really, he could have done more to ingratiate himself with the others if he wants to stay. It's not really my battle to fight. I have other allies even if he does go, and while I'd be a little worried about someone protecting Ness, two people is still not a majority. I'll just have to see what decision it is the group comes to.

Anyway, I'll cut this off here before I get as rambly as my last confession, because sleep would really make sense right about now.

Ugh, this is so, so sad. Bowser. :( I wanted to work with him at a merge/swap so badly. Plus I saw him as my best shot at not getting nominated in future BB rounds. Ugh.

However this gives me some extra time to sort out whatever the hell is going on here. Apparently I have not only Ness after me, but Wario too after I was the only person on the tribe trying to defend him. Fucking shithead. Well hopefully that's enough for him to dig his own grave, because I'm going to try and use this opportunity to patch things up with Ness and cement Wario as our next boot.

Oh hai! :pwub

Yes, the TAR game will happen, I just keep forgetting about it. :lol: It's postponed right now. I can't do it with the other ORGs running right now, because I only did it to appease people who wanted to do late night legs, and now that's impossible with my and ~many~ of the racers schedules right now ORG wise, so it wouldn't be even possible to do. And it sucks so much that it's on hold and fizzled out, but like the ORG people are so not like the Racers community, I mean, I would wake up at 6-7AM my time or even stay up until than just to race, but these people won't do that, I couldn't even get them to do earlier legs, so now I gotta figure out a better time for it. :(

Hot hot updates btw! <3

Have you cemented that plan as Wario as the next boot?

Do you think any remaining yellows will come after Fox or your tribe as a whole after last night? And do you think your connection with Jigglypuff can help you personally from being their target if they do want revenge?

And lol at Zelda being safe from all that shit. :lol:

I still haven't cemented Wario as the next boot because my time zone is really not working in my favour right now. I've had decent talks with Snake and Squirtle and now they'll vote with me but obviously I need more than that to ensure my safety and haven't been able to do it yet. I'll be sleeping soon but hopefully Snake and Squirtle can work something out in my absence, because I trust that both have my back, especially Snake.

I am sure if yellow wins any challenges we will not be receiving any safety from them, and if they win a Big Brother round we're all in big trouble. Fox has cemented himself as the biggest target on our tribe, but I think the best I could hope for in that situation is to be put up against him so he goes and I stay, as I don't think I've come across as harmless enough to leave out of the nominations. I think my connection with Jigglypuff can only save me if he's the winner of the challenge, because I was trying to argue for Bowser's safety over Zelda's but it wasn't enough - and incidentally, totally gave away that Bowser was part of my secret group. I'm trying to bring a positive out of that though by showing that my group being dissolved means I'm totally loyal to my allies on Saturn.

Anyway, although ideally I would have seen Zelda nominated over Bowser (which I thin would have got Meta Knight eliminated and I'd be a lot happier right now) I hope she takes it as a sign that we're willing to team up with her again at a swap/merge. It's a pretty significant gesture that everyone on yellow was put up except her, so bitch better recognise it.

Oh and glad to hear the TAR game will still happen, take your time obviously. And I know we're not supposed to know each other's IDs but dapa said he'd take over Charla if you need someone who'll actually show up. But I guess he has school so the timetable probably won't end up working for him anyway.

The Bowser/Diddy boots were so tragic. :( I feel kind of bad for Link because I'm going around saying how sad I am about Diddy/Bowser leaving, but not Link. :lol:

These are hot hot updates G&W. What would you personally do if you won HoH? I've seen your tribe talk about continuing to target the Yellows, but do you think that's the best path to take for yourself?

Don't feel bad for Link. I don't. ^_^ Now I don't have to see him bumping week-old threads just to post: :lol:

Is it wrong that I kind of wish we hadn't won the challenge today? Wario didn't show up which would have made getting him out that much easier. Plus it's an arena battle so even if things had gone horribly wrong for me I could have tried to Ivy my way out of it. Ugh, the longer we go without voting the more time I have to spend discussing plans and wondering who I can trust, I just want our next vote over with.

As for who I would nominate if I was HoH... I'm not sure if I would continue targeting the yellows. It's getting to the point where more of the green tribe annoys me than what's left of the yellow tribe, so I might rather see some of them go. But it would also make sense to continue along trying not to piss off any more teams, so sticking with yellow would make sense too. I would just try to do it in a way that I could avoid nominating Jigglypuff. Or put Jiggly up against someone everyone else is more likely to vote for.
