Oh and as a side note I genuinely really liked ya Starlight and out of the votes I made in the game, votin' ya was the least comfortable one for me. The mane problem here was that Coco didn' trust ya as much as I did, Chrysalis was more popular with the Wrong Timezones Alliance (Me, Coco, Dash, Pear, Rarity) than ya were and Coco and I didn' wanna blow up either of our mane alliances (the previously mentioned WTA and our one with DJ/Soarin) until later in the merge.
I'd also be quite interested in hearing your side of things Gran 
I haven't had anypony from the WTA here to talk to until you got here just now so I have no clue what was going on with that (especially when yall voted me out 
).
Hey Dash <3 I loved ya Onitama commentary.
As ya probably suspect, it was more complicated than that. This isn' anythin' against ya at all and I know that they always happen in these games, but I kinda hate group alliances! I find 'em very limitin' and they often stop me from bein' able to vote out the ponies I wanna vote out! And then ya often get guilty by association 'cause of a particular alliance and ugh! Rant over now it's okay. It wasn' even 'specially relevant.
Anyway, the mane issue with the WTA is that the WTA wasn' Coco's priority, and it wasn' mine either. We actually were more invested in our alliance with DJ/Soarin, which had occurred after Coco and I discussed that we actually felt better 'bout Soarin and DJ than we did 'bout the WTA.
There was also the obvious, in that ya would be a massive threat if ya made it to the end, but there was more too.
This is mah extra personal reasonin' from mah confessional:
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.
Also, Pear was completely left out of the loop on ya vote. Rarity used her ring to remove her vote from that TC. I suspect she knew 'bout what was happenin' through Chrysalis and/or others.
And yeah, at least from mah end, the plan wasn' jus' to continue as if the WTA was gonna keep happenin' without ya. That was mostly pushed by Rarity and Pear I think. I wasn' plannin' on workin' so closely with Rarity, but then she reached out to me. I was plannin' on takin' Soarin to the end, but he and Rarity jus' couldn' get along it seems (and Soarin targeted me too haha)
So I think the F4 bein' the WTA minus you was a matter of circumstance more than an explicit agreement.
