"Dude we are crushing it! Our alliance is going all the way "I find Rarity, and mah relationship with her, to jus' be real superficial. I think that beyond us bein' in Dash's group PM thing together, there is not actually anythin' much of substance tyin' us together. Maybe this is partly contributed to by the fact that she's been busy. And I really like her as a pony and enjoy our conversations when we do talk 'bout stuff. But there's jus' not much there considerin' we're at the stage of the game that we're currently at.
Mah guess at Rarity's rankin's: 1. Dash, 2. Chrysalis, 3. Pear, 4. Coco, 5. Granny, 6. DJ, 7. Soarin

"if one of us wins FIC and then goes back on it, it'll cost the Jury vote if the other ends up on the jury, yeah?"See, I actually think it's possible that Dash considers me quite close. She wouldn' be makin' agreements to take each other to the F3 or tellin' me 'bout "Pear"'s ideal F4 of Me, Pear, Dash, Rarity (more likely Dash's ideal F4) if she didn' at least consider me pretty close.
But mah first problem is in how Dash has gone 'bout it. As alluded to above, she's obviously very concerned and stressed 'bout her chances at winnin' the game and concerned enough 'bout this to try and tie me down to takin' her if I win FIC, but not only that, she wants us to agree to lose each other's jury vote if we go back on this promise. Now woah, that's a bit next level.
I also don' really appreciate her blamin' what is probably her own ideal F4 on Pear. Why not jus' tell me it's what she wants.
And all this does worry me, 'cause it makes me think Dash is gonna be jumpy, and if ever she thinks that I might be in the way of her winnin' the game she'll come up with some scheme to get herself further, and I don' trust that this scheme will include me. I don' know how true Soarin's report of the last TC truly is, but it brings on flashbacks of mah suspicions 'bout Dash from the last Fluttershy Cottage TC and so even if I think I'm in Dash's plans FOR NOW, even if Dash might consider me close FOR NOW, I can't rely on this remainin' the case.
I also need to vote Dash out at some point, 'cause an agressive pony like her beats me at FTC. I also can't really afford to vote DJ/Soarin out, have one of 'em blow up and out Coco's idol and plans or somethin' and have me be guilty by association before I've voted Dash out.
It's a shame, 'cause I like Dash, I think she's a smart player and she's a pleasure to work with. I jus' can't rely on her.

"Which isn't bad exactly, just hmm. It's all very hmmmmmmm."I've been tryin' to build a stronger connection with Queen, givin' away bits of information when I can to see if she'll reciprocate... But I'm still not gettin' all that much. Coco seems to think that she'd be willin' to vote Dash out, but is that really true? It's possible that I've been more guarded in mah conversations with Queen than I should have been, but I feel like she's been more guarded than I have, and I think it's unfortunately ruinin' mah dreams of a surprise Queendom alliance. (I'm the dom in case ya didn' figure that out
)
I think this TC will be a real decidin' factor in whether the relationship will go anywhere or not. I have asked the question 'bout what she thinks. Let's see how she answers....
Mah guess at Chrysalis' Rankin's: 1. DJ, 2. Coco, 3. Pear, 4. Rarity, 5. Dash , 6. Granny, 7. Soarin (I have no idea tbh)

"I'm also keeping an open mind, but I think we have to stick to our five if we want to stand a chance at FTC"Pear is a bit hard to read at the moment. I get the sense that he is deep in the pockets of Dash and Rarity, but Chrysalis really doesn' seem to think so? Does Chrysalis have a better idea of where he's at than I do? 'Cause all Pear neighs to me whenever I bring up the possibility that the Dash 5 might not be all there is to life is... "but it's a path to the end!" and I'm jus'.. not sure if he would ever willin'ly deviate from that.
I know that he's sharin' a lot of things with Dash too, which makes me think that he's close with her. I'm kinda hopin' I'm wrong, but I don' think so?
Mah guess at Pear's rankin's: 1. Dash, 2. Granny, 3. Coco, 4. Rarity, 5. Chrysalis, 6. Soarin, 7. DJ

"you cant make mischief when youre sinking time into something good and wholesome like lying and backstabbing"Mah relationship with DJ seems to jus' be truckin' along? We haven' talked much recently, but I think we trust each other? I mean there's not much reason not to. Coco brought up to me that she's concerned 'bout DJ but that was partly 'cause of the challenge advantages and so maybe Coco will be less concerned now.
There's not much else to neigh 'bout DJ. I think I'll need to vote her out before we get to the end, but right now feels too soon and gives too much power to Dash/Rarity.
Mah guess at DJ's rankin's: 1. Coco, 2. Soarin, 3. Granny, 4. Chrysalis, 5. Rarity, 6. Dash, 7. Pear

"It just makes my blood boil"I still find Soarin really endearin' and I hope that he trusts me, but I'm not entirely sure. As indicated earlier, I don' know if he's been entirely truthful 'bout how Rainbow went 'bout last TC, but the fact is that he was screwed over by Rainbow so he's perfectly entitled to act out against her in mah opinion. I definitely don' wanna vote him out right now, but I also don' know if I'd be able to vote DJ out without upsettin' Soarin.
Mah guess at Soarin's rankin's: 1. DJ, 2. Granny, 3. Coco, 4. Pear, 5. Chrysalis, 6. Rarity, 7. Dash

"But it might be a misplay. Or I might be overreacting!"Workin' with Coco is still great (I think), but I believe I'll need to vote her out before the end 'cause there jus' ain't that much differentiatin' our games except that she got an idol and initiated the alliance with DJ and Soarin. Final 5 would be the ideal time.
