OKAY I AM IN MAH CONFESSIONAL NOW
Right at the end of the TC of episode 12 there seemed to be this mad rush from Derpy to try and get votes on Coco instead of Soarin or Pinkie. And meanwhile she was still lyin' to me, neighin' that she was keen to vote for Pinkie and then after the TC results pretended not to have any idea of where the Coco votes came from!! What was up with that.
While I'm sure that there was some element of self-interest behind Starlight doin' this, to her credit, she actually did warn Coco and I 'bout the fact that there was a Coco movement and attempted to use this to get us to vote for Coco. But the fact is that she was much more open with me at the time 'bout what was goin' on then Derpy was.
Eventually I confronted Derpy on the fact that she was lyin' to me (see our pen pal thread) and it was kinda awkward and ideally I would've voted her out last round instead of Star but Derpy had immunity.
I also jus' overall didn' feel entirely comfortable with the Star vote I guess. It felt like it wasn' the absolute best vote for mah game but I'm runnin' out of ponies who I am able to vote off.
And this Dash 5 group alliance is problematic! This is why I don' like group alliances. I feel like I'd be in trouble or somethin' if I decided to vote for Rarity or Dash. The rankin's from mah last confessional haven' really changed much and I'm still considerin' Soarin and Derpy closer than the non-Coco ponies from Dash's alliance (Soarin was such a cutie and asked me to vote Chrysalis right at the last minute of the TC and then apologised 'bout it bless his heart).
As I've mentioned to ponies in private chats, I feel like Chrysalis is somepony that I would get along very well with if we'd had more time together, or even if we'd been in a more similar place in terms of what votes we've wanted at the merge. But I still feel like we haven' connected all that much and if I could vote out Chrysalis that would be great, 'specially since she's somepony that I could see Dash and Rarity pickin' up in a pinch.
I expect that mah next TC vote would either be Chrysalis or Derpy dependin' on the situation. I jus' need to work out how close DJ and Soarin are with Derpy.
Also Coco has jus' remained extra cute with her creatin' the group PM of Her/Me/DJ/Soarin (right after I named them as mah top 3 ponies, how cool is that!) and she also told 'em 'bout her idol oops. But I'm jus' glad she's havin' fun with the game. I think I will probably need to backstab her before the end if I wanna win but that's a sad thought right now.
And I guess the mane reason I don' feel entirely comfortable is 'cause I don' see a clear path to the end right now unless I go to the Final 5 with the Dash 5 which I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with right now?
Hmmm I'll think on it.
Sorry for the probably slightly difficult to understand post. I'm verrrry tired right now.
