So the real question is if DJ-Pon3 and Soarin can find a way out of the hole they're in. Even Granny realizes she needs Coco out.

I wouldn't say their necessary in a hole, although I expect this round to be splitting up either the granny/Coco pair or the Soarin/DJ pair.
If it's the latter, then the remaining will be in a hole.

and for the reason it would likely end up with votes against Granny if that was happening.

It's only Chrysalis and Pear that don't know Coco has (at least one) idol, which does mean that others are actually going to be afraid to put their hoofs up for starting the wagon against Coco.

Chrysalis is the only one that knows what the paraspites actually do, so while they exist and will enable Coco to be voted out, they're unlikely to come out as nopony is going to tell Chrysalis about said idols. Coco is a threat, that's all the reasoning that is needed to get people against her, no mentions of idols or anything.
I assume the paraspites being activated just has Coco shift those idols around a bit, which would be interesting to see where they actually end up.

Love seeing Starlight in the jury forums think her position in the game was a lot better, I think she suffered the most of lack of tribals in Crystal Empire to fully know where ponies stood.

Suri Polomare · « **Reply #9 on:** May 09, 2019, 09:52:38 pm »

I think starlight with different allies/friends/starting tribes makes different choices? There were bits of her game I enjoyed, compared to pinkie who seemed determined to have -issues- whatever.

Princess Luna · « **Reply #10 on:** May 10, 2019, 03:06:24 am »

dj knows about the parasprites, it looks like starlight told her at some point

Why is it a good idea to take coco to the end again?

Iron Will · « **Reply #14 on:** May 11, 2019, 07:30:20 am »

Honestly I can’t see much difference between the games of Coco, DJ, Granny, and Soarin. I guess you could say Soarin lived more dangerously and Coco initiated that alliance but it was already coming together and Coco just formalized it. Coco found some idols but so far none of them have needed an idol and the idols haven’t been relevant. Oh, DJ and Soarin got left out of the Derpy vote.

It’s really splitting hairs for now though. Jurors really have little to go on other than who they liked the most. Maybe some of them won’t want to take those chances and will shake things up some.

Flim and Flam · « **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2019, 10:14:51 am »

Tbh, I also don't see a huge difference between the 4 lol.
Lately it seems like Coco has been controlling the narrative. DJ, Soarin, and Granny all seem to have taken a step back behind her.

Soarin has probably played the sloppiest game of the 4, but he's got a style that just makes him super endearing and I think he could easily convince the jury to vote him.
I think DJ has played a fantastic and proactive game, but I get the vibe he'd be the type to underwhelm at FTC.
I have no idea how Granny is perceived at this point.

hey guys we're looking at times and sunday 3pm edt works for everypony but Rarity. Is it possible somepony would be available to sub?

As in a spectator would do the challenge in their place.

Fluttershy · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2019, 11:38:26 am »

I don't think the mods would let me sub for Rarity

Since we're waiting, I finished my pony OC! (the hair turned out weird because hair is hard to draw)

Her name is Shroomy. When she was a foal, an evil wizard put a curse on her that everytime she made a friend, a mushroom would grow on her. Shroomy was very scared, and ran off into the woods so that she wouldn't ever make a friend. She lived all alone for years until one day a nice explorer pony came by and talked to her. Shroomy found herself becoming friends with the explorer even though she was afraid. And then a mushroom grew on her nose! Shroomy realized that friendship is something so important that it's worth getting covered in mushrooms for. Now she has lots of friends

Excellent, we have one person but if you can be around as a backup it would be appreciated

This game is teaching me a lot about threat levels and how they don't necessarily ever make sense

How has soarin' gone from.2-3 TCs where Coco has told them more truth than most people, through a post where they acknowledge Coco is giving them the best information, to 'but they are probably lying and manipulating me and blindsiding me'.

Thorax · « **Reply #33 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:19:29 am »

Coco getting Queen out here probably seals the win though, as I can't see Queen passing on the paraspites.
Which means Coco goes out next round because of them if she can't succeed.
(Inb4 Coco wins immunity)

Rarity has . . . a hateboner for Coco . . . we'll see if she fucks shit up or not.

this is a good microcosm of queen's understanding of the game's social dynamics
