Title: Tea Party
Post by: Seteth on November 02, 2021, 08:13:09 pm
Welcome. Come in.

Have a chat. Sip some Earl Grey.

By the end of this House Tribunal, you have one or two decisions to make.

Support decision: Choose one other player in this Tea Party. If you both choose one another, you will gain the ability to talk across tribal lines for the rest of the game.

Mutiny decision: You are all eligible to mutiny this round. All tribes are available to mutiny to.

Please make a choice for both options above :) Indicate this decision in your {Inventory} thread in your confessional.

Hello!  I got one this time yay!  I do love some good tea and quality chat time.  Feel free to ask me anything, I'm an open book.

It's a pleasure to meet you both.

Hey everyone! ill be busy with dinner and such for a while but I’ll be back later tonight to share about my tribe and talk and such, there’s really nothing too exciting so far

do you guys have a favorite tea?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 02, 2021, 10:40:08 pm
Hmmm I enjoy green tea or perhaps anything a little fruity.  You??  I'm doing some TC stuff right now but I'll be around tomorrow to chat! 
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 01:37:34 am
lemon ginger is my favorite but I also like the occasional earl grey

so low down on my tribe isn't super exciting. Ferdinand was largely just an activity boot. however there doesn't seem to be a next obvious activity boot so next tribunal might be spicier. Hapi is pretty uncontroversially the most active and probably the most well liked. i don't think anyone argued about her winning immunity during that challenge

uh other than that I don't have much to report. don't really know what to make of Alois yet? we haven't talked much. anything spicy been happening with y'all?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 01:54:26 am
Yeah we should use this time while we can!

Our boot will more then likely just be Balthus as he is hard to talk with compared to the other players.  He also pushed my name I think?  He might be going for Ashe now though.  It is entirely possible I get voted out but I would be pretty surprised. 

Raphael is a good challenge performer and we quickly rallied to him.


I'll tell you more tomorrow morning..
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 02:02:09 am
Ah, Hapi took Ashe's mutiny really hard. I got the sense maybe Hapi liked Ashe more than Ashe liked Hapi.

My name was also pushed the first round by Ferdinand but then he disappeared for over 24 hours and I didn't have any trouble
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 04:09:24 am
hello there *pulls our coffee*

on our side of things the TC was basically between Flayn and Ingrid as they were very quiet, first things looked to settle strongly on flayn, but then Flayn got a surge of motivation so that managed to tilt the vote towards Ingrid, who still wasn't talking
it was a 6-2 with Annette as the other vote on Flayn

otherwise, we got Lorenz as our leader because he was really active, but also a very honest guy, like really really honest
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 04:53:09 am
also hmm, y'all have any idea about why the 2 did swap previous tea party? after all they were in your tribes
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 08:50:57 am
For the swap, Alois was inactive for the first couple days and recognized he didn't have any strong connections.  It wasn't unreasonable as he might have gotten voted out?

Ashe apparently thought the Blue Lions were too quite and wanted to be on what he thought was a stronger tribe.  He hasn't given much info about his last tribe other then they weren't active.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 11:44:50 am
ah alright

well if they weren't active it makes sense to not have much to say after all
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 01:02:29 pm
yeah they aren't the most active but Ash is getting better I think?  He just hasn't talked much about his past tribe.  The vote is very much on Balthus at this point unless everyone is lying to me.

So rundown on our tribe is:

Raphael - smart, charming, a bit quite at times, defacto leader
Cyril - Nice, clever with trivia, willing to organize people
Edie - blunt, quick at picking up things, active
Yuri - wall pmer, fun, social (probably the actual leader)
Alois - AFK
Ashe - Paranoid, active, agreeable
Shamir - engaging, understanding, worldly (you can talk about anything with her)

Balthus - doesn't matter

How many did you guys bid by the way?  I put in 33.  I really valued wanting to see other people and find out how their games are going.  Maybe it was a mistake, idk... I just figured it was good to get in early.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 01:23:33 pm
hmmm, wouldn't wanna make you paranoiad of that, but maybe that means he has stronger loyalties there? idk, depends on what Caspar thinks about it

on our side

Mercedes - Trustworthy, Charming, Amazing, Extremely funny with that joke of including herself in the list
Claude - Quite cool headed, doesn't really like to get into deep discussions
Dimitri - Light Gimmick, otherwise pretty wordy, felt he could be considered as the second face of the tribe in the event that Lorenz went poof
Flayn - AFK initially but started to pick up the pace, very sweet to talk to when she's there
Annette - once made me a 50 (phone) lines long young adult fanfiction parody for the lulz, but i don't really have a deep feel for her
Lorenz - already described him, but to reiterate, Truthworthy / Honest
Hubert - Relatively Cold, but maybe that's because he got pretty busy recently, won challenge 1 so he's pretty good at trivia

i went in at 43, wanted to secure it, and besides, it's not like we're gonna get more than 10/12 rounds of premerge right? so that leaves enough for a second going later

additionally, what would you guys wanna do with this chat / in the future? Cuz it's cool to update ourselves on what's happened, but there's quite some more stuff that can be done !
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 01:44:41 pm
I think there probably is some truth in what Ashe was saying. We had 2-3 people the first round that were pretty inactive. However, Ashe was not in a bad spot in our tribe from what I know. I believe he was very close to Petra and Hapi and we were not doing so bad either. However, Hapi was very upset with Ashe for leaving so there might be some burned bridges there now? Hapi has been very paranoid in confidentiality with me that Ashe might start blabbing about the connections within Blue Lions ... which eh, I think she's just sad to lose what she thought was a friend, info like that always gets out eventually

I'll give the run down too since that's the cool thing to do!

Hapi - talkative, emotional, charming, defacto leader
Petra - honest but also very cute and charming, probably under the radar for most popular
Hanne - strategically minded, owns ducks, nice guy, middle of the road activity
Lysithea - quite serious, formal, only sends one or two pms a day
Alois - on the less active side but nice enough? seems to realize he needs to make friends quick
Felix - has jumped right into the game and seems smart even though I haven't had much of a chance to talk to him
Caspar - yours truly, a shining beacon of trustworthiness and amazingness :)

I put in 50...

ok so I really wanted to secure this grouping as sort of a representative for Hapi/Petra/Myself. they are probably the people im closest too in this tribe and we all want to make sure we can make new friends and connections outside our tribe. so i was picked to do that this round. it's not that the rest of our tribe sucks, but they each behave a little weirdly around at least one of us and are more on the inactive side compared to the three of us, so we're not sure how reliable they'll be once swaps come around.

anyway, i would very much like to continue to talk to you guys after this tea party, and maybe also use you as a conduit so that you can get to know a couple other people on my tribe better, since Hapi and Petra at least know that I'm here. I wish it could be all three of us but regardless of what happens regarding the support decision I hope we meet up again soon !

from what Ashe told me about the round 1 tea party, pretty much no one talked about any specifics about their tribe, so I'm very grateful that everyone is a little more willing to share here!
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 02:16:58 pm
hmmm, so yeah, either happy is being way too emotional about things, or maybe like, bear with me *searches for tinfoil hat* that's a plan to make them seem disconnected by having hapi go "WHY DID YOU LEAVE MEEE" and Ashe go "ye nothing to see back here guys"
granted i'm tinfoiling, what you said seems pretty plausible

you stole my list joke ! how dare you

Hmmmm, not sure i see what you mean by "representative" ? could you develop by any chance ?
like, yeah i'm all for being a bridge between tribes, kinda why i took the tea party first, but it's best if we agree on what you'd like to see us do haha

Yeah, there's the support stuff we need to think about too... not sure how we should organize there tbh, additionally we don't do mutiny right?

Welp, given than there was ingrid in it, i'm not surprised things moved a bit slow haha

 
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 02:29:37 pm
These lists are great!  Well worth coming to hang out with you both <3. I was hoping we could all get a little more insight into the future.  First off, no I do not plan on mutinying.  I mean, who knows where I stand in the game right now but I could see at least 2 other people that would go before me and feel safe on the tribe I am currently in.  Caspar comes off as someone who feels safe with his tribe as well but correct me if I'm wrong. 

I think Ashe's priority is to make friends and stay in the game so if that means talking more about the Blue Lions, then I expect he would do it.  As it stands, he could very easily be our second boot if we were to vote again right now. 

As for the support decision, I would be happy with either one of you as a partner to converse with but I, like Mercedes, would love a little more clarification on "representative".  Does that mean more of your trio will be trying to win tea parties?  Do you 3 share all info right now?  I'm just a little unsure and feel... hmm... nervous?  About the concept they potentially get all my opinions and I get nothing from them except the hope you have put me in a good light.

Please do that... I don't handle criticism well.  T-T

I do want this to be a good information hub for us to use until merge if we can! 
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 02:33:51 pm
Well, this game has like 3 different ways to get cross tribal threads already, so sorry but i think you're gonna have to forget having your opinions stay within the bounds of your tribe haha

besides we get each other's opions too, even if you're nervous about it, that seems like a fair trade

doesn't the chat close right after TC though?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 02:38:57 pm
I don't really plan on mutinying either. There are a lot of question marks on my tribe but I feel like there would be even more for me on other tribes so it I don't know if it really makes sense for me.

right I think I mis-explained a little bit. I so far have shared nothing about this tea party and don't plan to without express consent. Petra and Hapi know that I'm here but I've just told them that's it been quiet so far.

so anything you say here is explicitly confidential unless you give consent. I know that requires uh trusting me but I seriously wouldn't be so open about this if I were trying to suck information out of you or something.

basically, my idea is that if you both want, I can put in a good word for you two both, and maybe share a little information. and also do vice versa for them. that way with an upcoming tribe swap even if we wind up with a bunch of familiar faces we'll all have at least a little bit of a bridge that we can build safe relationships off of.

I'm more interested in just connecting people then like... trying to funnel information. but anyway, what I'm trying to say is that if you run into Hapi or Petra in the future they are solid people and you would probably do good to reach out to them!

im not sharing any information from here with them *at the moment*, but I would love to pass on the summaries you guys did of your tribe members, if that's ok with you. but i understand if it makes you uneasy that im open about who im close with. I'm also happy to tell you guys more stuff about my tribe / opinions there, although I've summarized most of the important stuff.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 02:41:22 pm
and yeah another reason I'm fine with being as open as possible is that like... Ashe and Petra from our tribe have already been in cross-tribal communication things of themselves

i don't doubt everyone is going to know the structures of the other tribes pretty well

but that'll all get thrown into chaos come a swap and I kinda want to use this time to pre-empt that if that makes sense?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 03:20:39 pm
Yeah no problem if we stick to our colors so far, just wanted to check

as for me, i gotta admit, i did share so far what y'all have said about the broad tribe structure / TC, as like, it felt to me like this was pretty non-confidential and fine to share, but kept the more private stuff in here, therefore, i'm fine with y'all doing the same in return :P
not like that important information to secure anyways
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 03:23:46 pm
we just need to agree on what's fine to share and what stays in the tea chat

i'd say that like, Previous events / tribe structure is cool to share, but we keep the rest?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 03:25:23 pm
yeah I assume that stuff has already been shared anyway

but like your specific opinions on people I've kept to myself since I figure you don't necessarily want that going around
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 03:33:11 pm
Yeah i'd rather that not go around too much thanks, same for you i assume :P

  sorry guess i didn't accurately state my question.  It's not that important, I was just a little curious.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 03:58:48 pm
I have no issues with the information I've provided!  I even appreciate you Caspar for revealing what you have with your team on blue.  It's scary taking about stuff like that and I feel my tribe is keeping who they are close with a guarded secret. 

Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 04:07:18 pm
Yeah I mean my tribe isn’t honestly all that clear to me

I know Hapi is close to like everyone, and lysithea apparently isn’t super close to anyone but I’m suspicious of taking that for granted

Alois and Feliz are both big question marks for me and I’m not sure what they’re making of the tribe.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 04:08:44 pm
Do you think Hapi would have your back?  You're certainly more invested then what ashe and Alois seem to be.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 04:13:47 pm
Yeah so actually, i thought this throughly, and really sorry if you already had that info but wanted to keep it hidden caspar... but Hapi apparently has a cross tribal that you haven't mentionned as she's the leader of the Blue Lions
(with the other leaders)

i think it's a sign of pretty bad news if you weren't aware, so there, that's basically it
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 04:14:06 pm
a cross tribal thread*
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 04:22:39 pm
Oh right, i had forgot about that.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 05:06:41 pm
oh, I wasn't aware of that at all, at least it hasn't come up naturally

I'll keep it secret from the rest of my tribe for now and see if it comes up but that's interesting to know given how upset Hapi was about Ashe keeping secrets
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 05:07:59 pm
Hmpfff :/

be careful then, wouldn't want a teamate (haha wordplay) to get booted out of the blue like that
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 05:09:05 pm
Do you think Hapi would have your back?  You're certainly more invested then what ashe and Alois seem to be.
Hapi is in a good position as tribe leader and with basically a good relationship with everyone as far as I can tell

I have tried to get close to her because I feel like that's how I can be safest on this tribe but the thing with being in a good position like that is that she has a lot of options, and if she's keeping some information from me I'm guessing she's not all in on the Caspar-train

I feel better about Petra but I don't have too much reasoning behind that beyond that I've just really liked talking to her
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 05:13:44 pm
"out of the blue" is also v good mercedes
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 05:18:24 pm
oh lol that one wasn't even intended

i'm just that good at wordplay i guess
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 05:25:44 pm
yeah the only cross tribal's I was aware of were Petra's strong link chat from the first challenge and Ashe's first tea party

the leader one does make sense although I wouldn't have expected that to stay secret so I'm curious why hapi hasn't shared, or if she just hasn't shared with me
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 05:29:52 pm
i could maybe try to get out of Lorenz if anyone's aware at your tribe? Although that might be a bit of a weird question in hapi's eyes if i do push them to ask it

Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 05:48:02 pm
Is there anyone on your tribe mercedes that you feel we should maybe "keep an eye on"? 

Looks like for Blue, it's Happy.
And for Eagles, I'd say it's Raphael or Yuri.

Is it just Lorenzo for you?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 05:52:44 pm
i mean, depends what you mean by "keep an eye on", i assume it's in a threatening way?

Dimitri's probably a really competent player not showing his full hand, think i'm on his gooder side though
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 05:56:00 pm
interestingly enough, Petra has been saying that Raphael has been asking about Hapi a lot

presumably because they are also in the leader chat together

this is not relevant to really anything but if either of you ever wind up on a tribe with Hanneman and are stuck for a conversation starter, ask him about his ducks/chickens
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 06:00:36 pm
if i understeand correctly, that would probably mean that Raphael  / Hapi are in a sort of deal?
At least, if Petra presented it to you in a "huh that's strange way" that probably means she's ain't aware of the chat

lol okay, thanks for the tip i guess
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 06:03:04 pm
yeah that's how I interpreted it from Petra, just something to look out for maybe?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 06:38:09 pm
yeah thats good to know.  Shamir is the closest I think to Ashe at this point and has still gotten nothing about the blue tribe from him.  I think Ashe might be in trouble if we went to TC again?  Not 100% sure but everyone else on the team is pretty competent.  I'm thinking I have some of the stronger players on my tribe or just less of the easy votes.

It was lovely talking to you all and thank you so much for being so forward.  I think this tea time was well worth it :)

hmmm, we still need to arrange on the support too, thoughts on that real quick ?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 06:47:23 pm
oh welp, i hope dorothea will be back soon then

otherwise yeah kinda goes without saying, i definetly enjoyed the chat, and on top of that it felt very productive
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 07:04:24 pm
I'm sorta here?  Sorry quick replies.  We just select someone we want to support and if they select back we match right?
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 07:07:37 pm
okay hapi just told me and petra about the leader chat unprompted, I wonder if she got paranoid that we knew or something, very interesting

I would also say Felix on my tribe is someone to look out for as a potential strong player/ally

I'm trying to get closer with him but he seems to be much more invested than a lot of the others on my tribe
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 07:08:54 pm
yup

that basically means someone gets left out, just need to agree on who
Title: Re: Tea Party

lol, that sure is some convinient timing, i mean, how did she justify telling you bout the chat this late?

Hmmm, aight' will keep the felix stuff in mind then, is he actually strongly placed there or more of a potential thing
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 07:15:00 pm
Ahh well I would obviously like to keep in touch with both of you but understand if you select each other and there will be no hard feelings either way.
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Caspar on November 03, 2021, 07:16:20 pm
well this phase has been rather slow. I'd say he's in the middle with lysithea being at the bottom currently. but I think he could become strong placed.

she didn't really??? she was just like oh by the way I should tell you about this. I didn't really question it because I don't wanna like, get into a fight. she did mention they were gonna try to have it be a secret at first, but then didn't elaborate on why that changed.

as far as the supporting goes. personally, I feel like I have less connection with Golden Deer in general because at least with Black Eagles I now know both dorothea and ashe there? so I think I'll probably submit Mercedes for my support.

but if you two feel like it's best for you to support each other there's no hard feelings there and i hope to see you both on the other side of all this
Title: Re: Tea Party
Post by: Dorothea on November 03, 2021, 07:18:51 pm
Ok then to make it simple, I'll pick Mercedes too and just let her decide.  Cheers everyone!  Stay safe and see you on the other side :)

Post by: Mercedes on November 03, 2021, 07:30:16 pm
I'm more inclined to go with Caspar, as like, i feel like he would actively benefit from having a direct support with someone given things on his side seem more hazardous

and i think it's pretty obvious, but if i could i'd keep the chat with both of you, i would, just that there must be a choice somewhere and caspar seems more needed :(

The Tea Party is now over, and this forum is now read-only (unless I screwed something up, first time doing this :D )
