Title: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Holly Short on January 01, 2020, 01:48:55 am
Oh my! Who do we have here? A new officer joining the ranks?

Well thank the fairy heavens for that! The last new recruit we had was Sherly and he’s still bumbling about thinking of himself as a consulting detective. Pff!

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes!

Welcome! We’re excited to have you here.

This is your confessional, where you can post whatever you want. Your thoughts, your ideas, your deepest, darkest feelings! No evidence can be used against you here.

Please make a post in this thread to confirm that you’re still up for the task of joining the force. I wish you the best of luck!

Welcome to the game! What are your thoughts on the game and what are you hoping to accomplish?

Thank you! And welcome yourself <3. I'm really enjoying this forum setup. It's so uncanny having the mafiscum label on it, but it's definitely very well put together; thanks mods!

And I want to win of course! Side goals include being on the top of every vote and not being too much of a side character. I don't want to sheep/goat to the end so I'm going to try and make moves throughout the game ;)

Just going based off of post counts, it seems like we have a very active tribe.... I like that since I like to send lots of messages and worry I come off as too annoying too quickly but I'm getting so many replies so fast it's hard to keep up! Great start.

First impressions coming up after the challenge, but I definitely am getting good vibes from the rest of my teammates. I feel like I've already sussed out who I like and who I don't like from the first few messages,,,,, might not be a good thing so I'll try not to stick too hard to those.

I'm excited to hear about your thoughts on the team's performance in the challenge as well as any social impressions you have during it.

First Impressions time! Take these with a grain of salt because it's literally been two hours! But I just want an excuse to post something :0


First, based off of the challenge, there were some very clear heavy hitters and others just along for the ride. I usually suck at these image identification challenges, so I tried to step up as the list collector and I think I did pretty well wrangling the troops to make sure we started early and didn't waste any time.


Here's my list of who suggested each name and what each person did.


Collected lists - Penelope/Nick
1) Diego "Margarine" Tyler - Kate
2. Wallace Romero - Chase - confirmed by Kate / Penelope
3. Andy Lewis - Rust confirmed by Kate
4. Pascal Wagner - Kate
5. Shorty Thompson - Nick
6. Honeypalms Jonas - Nick
7. Archie McMahon - Penelope
8. Perry Belvadere - Penelope
9. Vincent Giovanelli - Chase confirmed by Pikachu
10. Yuri Chernyshevsky - Pikachu

Based off of this challenge, the strongest challenge players were myself, Nick and Kate. I really enjoyed Kate coming out to fix up the #4 mistake because we all just overlooked that. It shows that she's meticulous and dedicated and was actually going through to make sure the guesses were right, a real team player.

Chase/Nick were good at the beginning but seemed to stop checking for prints once they confirmed their two based off not really posting after. However, Nick was collecting the comparison list which was really helpful so I'll give him that.

Pika and myself seemed to be really involved at the beginning and checking for numbers after and offering corrections which I think will come off well.

Finally, Jackie and Rust seemed to participate the least. Rust had to leave at the very end and Jackie suggested a wrong answer and only confirmed at the end. Now, this challenge could just be people's weak spots, so I'm not going to use it against them, but I am definitely keeping my eye on them.

Now, as for PMs:


Kate: I don't particularly like her PM'ing style at the moment. It's very quick and succinct and I like to be long and verbose. If I send three line breaks, I expect three line breaks back! Or at least condense one of my points! Or maybe I just need to start being less talky otherwise people aren't going to want to respond to me :P


Anyways, I sent her a quick PM about how there's only 5 girls in the entire game (based off of prof pics of course) so we might as well work together now. Definitely the first alliance in the game! I hope it becomes a bit more fully fleshed out.


Detective Pikachu: Great first impression. He seems like the type to enjoy gifs and be a good PMer. I think I've talked to him the most in the last few hours, (which is like 10 messages) so I want to start building that relationship. He's also just so cute and fluffy <33333


Chase: I'm kinda bitter because Chase was my first choice for a character for two seconds, but then I changed it to Penelope on a whim. Now I'm binge watching Criminal Minds when I definitely could be binge watching Paw Patrol. This chase is nice and easy going from the few messages we've shared and I think he's going to be fun to work with.


Rust Cohle: Definitely another long, verbose typer. I love him already. He responds to all my messages at length and damn, it's been good having Matthew McConaughey flirting back at me :^). I'm definitely going to need to get closer to him throughout this game and see him being a power player already. Additionally, he mentioned that he was having trouble getting people to respond to him, which I find really odd considering how well people were responding to me. He might be rubbing people off the wrong way which could be good to keep around.


Jackie Chan: He's another condenser :/ I send him long PMs and he just boils them down to two sentences. Give me something to respond to! Plop a question in there :/ He mentioned he's in a different time zone across the world from me and we're probably going to clash on that a lot, but that's a good thing to keep around when you want to boot a quiet person off...


Nick Wilde: I haven't gotten much of a read on him. I've only messaged him once and got one reply and he was pretty okay at the challenge. Watch this space.


As you can see, it's a lot of nothing at the moment because I really am going off of a few first impressions, but those are always the strongest! I feel like I have a good read on social dynamics, at least for the time being. Here's my ranking of the tribe in terms of who's on top of the tribe, and who's probably an easy boot.


Strongest/Weakest also my favorite/least favorite
1. Detective Pikachu - Great PM's, helpful in the challenge.
2. Kate - Not Great PM's, but it's only been a few, great help in the challenge
3. Chase - Good PM's, participated well in the challenge.

4. Nick - Hasn't PM'ed enough, great challenger participator.
5. Rust - Hasn't PM'ed enough, didn't participate as much.
6. Jackie - Hasn't PM'ed enough, poor challenge play.


I know this is all so very early, but these are my current opinions going forward!

Even though you've made a list of your takes on their strengths, would this necessarily be your list in making alliances? After all, we have seen many a time when people have teamed out to take out those who may pose too big of a threat.

I think so! Kate just sent me a message that she and Pika talked about an alliance and they brought me into the fold. We now have a groupchat, which, WOW that's amazing, I love these new forums.

I think Kate's straightforwardness will get her targeted at some point, so I don't think others will see her as a threat early on. I think it's important to have allies that can then be toppled over at some point as it becomes difficult to distinguish your game from their's when you get the final tribal council.

Not necessarily. All that's happened so far is a post from Kate making the message and me expressing my excitement. Pika hasn't said anything.

When I was going back over your first ranking list, you mentioned that PM'ed well/hasn't PM'ed enough was a strong indicator of your favoritism. Is this in terms of frequency? quality? What sort of means are you looking for in order to make a connection with the other tribemates?

Not really frequency as I've been doing a poor job of being online myself so it's mainly length and if they respond to all the things that I send. Kate/Jackie seemed to just ignore/condense a lot of what I said at the beginning but I think Kate is getting a lot better. Plus, 2 people now (Pika and Rust) have went out of their way to tell me Kate is speaking positively about me, which I appreciate :P

I do worry that this may make us seem like an inseparable pair too early, which is not ideal. Kate is definitely a newer player and might not see how that can potentially put a larger target on our back than she anticipates.

I responded to a few messages and took the night off to get tested for COVID-19 :p (I got negative).

 It's hard to keep up small talk for so long and we've had quite a bit of time. I kind of wish we are thrown into a tribal to test those lines but I worry my tardiness to reply to messages might be a bit of a sore spot. I'm not sure where I stand with the tribe so I'm catching up on messages today and making sure I reply within the hour.

Only if I can pronounce your e with a short e.

And I think my favorite PM so far is Nick's reply to my intro post. It came with a qute gif, lengthy reply and so sweet. He's kept it up so I change my opinion on the "hasn't" pm'ed enough thing.

Another win on the books! Nothing interesting happening in the 12th precinct as people are afraid to talk game at the moment with these wins. Hopefully there's no weird swap/mechanic with 19 players left next round.

Now that I've gotten a few more PMs, I'd say Rust and Nick have moved up a bit under Kate and Pika. So essentially moving Chase down and that's still my list:

Pika
Kate
Nick
Rust
Chase
Jackie

There's already whisperings that Jackie's been pretty inactive or a "pm shortner" so people are already trying to setup for a Tribal Council that hasn't even started yet. He told me he has UTC+8 or so timezone which means he's not on when everyone else is, which would explain the lack of PMs. And again, this doesn't really mean much because I have nothing to go on except small talk. I feel like my opinions could definitely shift once people start opening up more about ~game~ talk or we have to go to a tribal. I've tried to broach like preliminary thoughts on the tribe with some people. Nick/Pika/Rust and I have similar assessments on people:

Kate is very straightforward. Nick/Rust/Pika/Myself seem more experienced in the game Chase/Jackie/Kate seem like newbies.

That's been the general talk from what people have told me.

Chase seemed to avoid talking more than just we won a challenge woo! And Rust kind of shortened our "other tribemates" talk to just about Kate and didn't try to drag it out further to gauge my opinions on others. I don't blame them because there literally isn't much to say atm but I wish I could pull more out of Rust because I think I could get closer with him if he just gave me more.

What's your thought process going into this challenge? Are you optimistic about your chances of doing well?

As for this challenge, I'm not sure. I feel like I'm just going to do a shot in the dark with my answers. I'll probably post explanations here once I fill them out but it will most likely be mush. I have no information to go off of except how good people are at small talk :P I think this touchy subjects type of challenge is a good prelim to a swap though because you get to find out what your tribe mates really think of you but you don't get too much info. It could prevent a pagonging if people feel like they were placed on the bottom of their totem pole and decide to jump ship next round.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 03, 2020, 03:49:03 pm

Ok this was definitely a shot in the dark for my submission but here are my explanations for those that want them :P


Positive:

Penelope Garcia: Joyful - I use a LOT of emoticons in all my messages/PMs so I think that would give off the Joyful vibe.
Kate: Reliable - I feel like all the other ones displayed a very active/emotive personality but Reliable fits a more straightforward vibe that Kate gives off.
Detective Pikachu: Charismatic - I think Detective Pikachu was one of the first people to start messaging and is pretty active which gives off Charismatic vibes.
Rust Cohle: Courageous - This was kind of a throw away one...
Nick Wilde: Artistic - Nick made some chimichangas and showed them off so I hope he sees cooking as artistic :P
Chase: Affectionate - Another throwaway one. I feel going off the character, a puppy is more affectionate but he could definitely see a puppy cop as Courageous.... should I change this.... nah

Negative:
Penelope Garcia: Selfish - I'm the only one who hasn't posted in the excuses thread despite also being late on messages and such so I feel like that gives off a selfish vibe.
Kate: Bossy - Again, Kate is very straightforward and like pulled me into an alliance already really without asking so that's pretty bossy, but hey, I'm not complaining :P
Detective Pikachu: Devious - Kind of a throwaway one because I feel like the others fit a bit better, but the character seems a bit devious.
Rust Cohle: Bad-Tempered - Rust kind of looks confused/frustrated in his profile picture so I went with that.
Nick Wilde: Egotistical - Ok, you gotta admit that the character is an egotistical prick so this would fit perfectly.
Chase: Aggressive - Dog cops are aggressive. Ez.


Roles:
Penelope Garcia: The Safecracker - Penelope's role in Criminal Minds is the hacker/information finder etc. I feel like this fits most clearly.
Kate: The Guy Behind the Scenes Who Commissioned the Heist - Kate would not get her hands dirty idk..
Detective Pikachu: The Inside Man - Pikachu is small and can get in small places i think? I don't know this was a throwaway :P
Rust Cohle: The Brains - I think Rust is a detective?
Nick Wilde: The Muscle - No one on this band of animated characters and detectives seems particularly strong but Nick goes feral at one point.
Chase: The Wheelman - each of the pups in paw patrol has their own little car!

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 06, 2020, 03:27:15 am
Just sent out all my initial PMs and will have some exciting thoughts on my new tribe mates coming tomorrow! However, I'll leave with this for tonight :D


(https://i.gyazo.com/13090dbbbc8571aa113479199c9ebf1b.png)


I'm really excited that I was essentially lobbed with the 3 people I trusted the most from my last tribe (barring Kate of course, I hope she's finding a good spot for herself). But since it's obvious that no pre tribe has an advantage here, I'm really hoping we stick together and try to pull someone else in if we go to a tribal because I genuinely see myself going far with Nick/Rust/Pika just based off the starting tribes we were in.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 06, 2020, 10:27:39 pm
Thoughts on current tribemates:


Grouch - He's very funny and playing in character which makes me like him a lot. I talked to him a lot the first day, but not much today. He seems to be ragging a LOT on Quentin from his previous tribe. He seems like the strongest to come from the 99th.


Lucifer - Haven't talked to too much but he seems nice. He didn't really give me much when I asked for his thoughts, but also mentioned quentin being a bit of an inactive.


Quentin - We've had two short sentences exchanged and all he said was "Do you have any tribemates on this tribe?" .......


and from the 27th Precinct -


Jake - I LOVE Jake. He's been helping so much during the challenge and is such a joy to talk to. Also, he's called me a flirt to other people and it's gotten around. Don't look away because I'm smelling a showmance y'all!


Scruff - We haven't talked as much but I felt like I was being very snappy at him in the challenge thread for absolutely no reason. I didn't mean it to be mean but it was just in the heat of the moment, so I definitely need to apologize for that and try and make amends <3.

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!

How do you feel about past tribal connections since you didn't go to tribal there?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 07, 2020, 10:49:27 am
New friends? New enemies? How would you rank your new tribemates in terms of favorability?

Currently:

Pika
Rust
Jake
Scruff
Grouch
Nick
Lucifer
Quentin

I definitely think Pika and Rust are only so high because of recency bias. I love them but I feel like I'm barely getting to know them here because the last tribe was moving so slow. The game has started picking up the pace it seems so I hope to strengthen those bonds.

Scruff and Jake are just two great PMers and I love them. They also will definitely work closely with each other going forward because they've both praised each other strongly and now being stuck here will cement them as a duo.

I like Grouch in the sense that he's a free agent and was willing able to throw out Quentin's name instead of using him as a number.

The rest I don't necessarily have strong opinions on at the moment.
How do you feel about past tribal connections since you didn't go to tribal there?

I don't think they're as strong as I'd like, but I trust Pika and Rust at the moment. I think Rust and I were in a good place to lock something down "officially" if it came to it, but there was no need to. Pika and I had an alliance of sorts with Kate while we were all together so I trust him the most at the moment. However, that alliance was never tested, but we are sharing info on this new tribe which is nice :P

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Heiji Hattori on July 07, 2020, 07:21:40 pm
How is the info sharing different between this tribe and the previous one? Was it other people? Did you use different tactics?

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 09, 2020, 05:00:23 pm
How is the info sharing different between this tribe and the previous one? Was it other people? Did you use different tactics?

I mean info sharing as in like "what are your thoughts on previous tribe mates? Current tribe mates? Oh Grouch said that? oh" So it feels like it could have,,, only happened here? Does that make sense? Like there's just more ~info~ out there because of the swap. Also, I think just asking more questions is helpful. I leave off every PM with info I want to know and people, not wanting to be rude, answer that question :P ez pz

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 09, 2020, 05:06:22 pm
Also, I worry that I'm trying too hard in challenges. Like being very vocal and involved in the process of a challenge and stepping up to organize/data collect because it's making me seem better in challenges than I think I am. I've gotten a lot of compliments for challenges, which yeah, now is good? But in the merge, I'm an easy boot as soon as I lose an immunity :S. I don't know what to do about it except maybe throw a challenge?? idk I feel like once that perception is there, you can't shake it.

Also, in other news, I'm getting closer with Grouch. Literally all that's happened is we've had a conversation about Grouch as a character using they/them pronouns and I'm like WOOWWW swoon  ;D . Also, Grouch is just a genuinely nice player and it doesn't seem like they're super high on other people's lists. Everyone's fawning over Jake and Scruff at the moment so I might have found a lil' hidden gem.

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 13, 2020, 04:24:08 pm
Who do you think is the most powerful on your tribe at the moment?

Probably Jake? Because everyone loves him. But the fact that he's known to have really positive sway takes away any power and puts him in the middle of a spotlight.... So maybe Pika? I feel like he's in a lot of people's ears right now in a very nonobtrusive way...... This is a super offbase guess because there's literally nothing happening atm

God I bet edgic is sOOO EASSSY for this game. BAU is not getting any screen time :/// And honestly, there are not OTTN at the moment! Everyone's doing relatively well at not pissing anyone off by doing too much. It's Quentin that's doing too little.

Is this game just going to be who can get the 5 SVU's on their side fastest and then one of the SVU peeps is going to win by selling out their teammates and making it to the end. That's my guess now, put me in the quotes thread if I'm right.

Also this may just be like a lack of things to say but I just don't like Pika's pm'ing right now... I'm literally running out of things to say so I guess i speak in hyperboles and Pika will always just shut it down like "I don't... think that's going to happen, but who knows." Like ADD something to the conversation or move on!! I'm running out of things to say!!

If we were to go to tribal right now, I could see a strong reason to get me out right now considering Quentin will always be an easy vote out but if people think I'm a strong challenge player, it's more beneficial to get me out before the merge. Though, if we were to swap, I think people would try to stick with me to keep themselves safe for a bit longer.

Jake was quick to jump and let me know that he thinks it's best we stuck together and wanted to solidify something deeper. I figure he knows it's his only option given that Lucifer could easily jump to SVU and take us all out and working together is probably our only option.

I really liked this challenge because I think it's bringing Jake and I even closer <3 All of our PMs have been about how frustratingly close things have been and good we think the other person is. I also feel like this translates into rooting each other on? especially for clues just based off the number of messages, I'm sure he sees me as a close ally at this point. Like it seems genuine.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 16, 2020, 06:22:40 pm

Not creepy at all baever <3

I think it's like already starting to divide like I can see some lines being drawn. I don't know if it's going to be strictly BAU vs SVU but Lucifer is trying to help me with the clues so I don't think he's explicitly jumping over the 99th and betraying us. That's a good sign :P

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 18, 2020, 05:00:06 pm
I haven't stopped to make a tribe evaluation yet!! While we have some time before the challenge is posted and because im so nervous on how we did....


Jake - His messages to me have gotten shorter now that we're in a new tribe but now they feel a bit more close? Like I feel i'm getting more emotion out of him, more pure thoughts. We talked about the Codenames challenge and how frustrating some of these clues were or compared notes when our matches ended. We even talked about trying to make sure we were in the last match to capitalize on holding onto clues and to make sure we win. We've worked together to find the clue, though this one wasn't too hard. It really feels like me and Jake against the world <333 I think he sees me as a close ally at this point. If not, he's really good at giving that impressions.


Lucifer - I feel like I left BAU without feeling close to Lucifer at all, but now I can tell he's trying to work with me and get closer. It's hard to get him to talk about the game, but almost immediately without me asking he suggested we work together to keep each other updated on the clues. Not explicitly saying we're going to compare notes, but wants to tell the other where clues are. Then, he told me where this one was as soon as he found it. I had already found it and forgot my end of the deal to share it with him, so I just said, thanks, I really appreciate this and moved on. Nick has told me Lucifer thinks he's getting closer to me, which is positive to know.


Nick - As soon as we left BAU, we confirmed that we should stick together as much as possible. we've been comparing notes in a sense every time we manage to be online together :P I like him and I do think he'll be a great ally because he's not too flashy and I don't think anyone feels particularly close to him, so if I make sure that I'm his #1, I think I'm in a good place.


Judy - I like her as PM'er and a person, but I think she can come off as really stubborn at points in challenges. I don't think this is always a bad thing, like when she was fighting to make sure all 3 of Nick/Her/I competed I liked that fiestyness. I guess i just don't feel as close to her right now. Nick has already suggested that she be the first boot if we go to tribal because it knocks out a 99th and SVU in one fell swoop.


Lennie - I want to get closer to him and I think he's great in challenges when he wants to be. At least from what I've seen. I think there's something budding there and I've been told by Judy and Poirot that he thinks positively of our conversation so this is definitely a line I want to push more.


Poirot - I think my strongest connection from the SVU tribe. We started our conversation immediately disavowing past tribal lines (but who doesn't do that :P) and our PM conversations are NOVELS. they get really long but I really do enjoy talking to him. He's pretty much asked me for an alliance at this point, or has at least insinuated it. He gave up his spot in the last competition thinking it'd give me an extra clue and then when I took that from him, I let him know how to find the finger print because I want him to start to trust me. Additionally, I think he'd pass it along to Judy and Lennie, and honestly, the more people with this clue, the better. I want it to be used asap so it doesn't bite me in the ass later.


For now i think my rankings is like this


Jake
Poirot
Nick
Lucifer
Lennie
Judy

Woooo!! First tribal!


Here are initial thoughts:


It seems like it's going to be Judy vs. Lucifer.


Judy just asked me (before we knew we were going to tribal) if we could work together. I think that's bold because I didn't necessarily feel all that close to her, but I think it's genuine. A genuine attempt to save herself.


Lucifer tried giving me the first clue as if it wasn't super obvious, but it was a good gesture that got me to give him the 2nd clue and I think he sees me as a close ally right now, that I wouldn't want to lose.


So I have ties with both of these people right now, and I don't think that's something I want to lose.


Jake has recently put together an alliance of myself and Nick. Nick is worried that Jake is heavily pushing Lucifer, and Jake just posted in this alliance chat that he's leaning Lucifer. I think I'd rather keep Lucifer safe right now, so I might spend some clues to flush him the idol and get Judy out. This could also be the time to get out a big target like Lennie or Poirot. I know Jake is strongly working on protecting Lennie, so that is someone that will probably not go home for a while.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 20, 2020, 06:28:56 pm
Lucifer wants to find the idol. I think I'd be fine with helping as it burns the idol. But he's not helping with his own clues :P Nick says it's


Not Black hair but it is Red hair. I've marked those on my list as "possible lies" knowing it's not Motorcycle does take 14 people off though!
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 20, 2020, 07:27:09 pm
So Lucifer is just,,, completely not messaging me back after I gave him a clue and mentioned that he hasn't used his yet. Ok, if you're so set on trying to find this thing early, why aren't you make it seem that way? I don't like this. If you're not going to try and give a little to get a little, what's that going to look like moving forward?


Poirot pushed Nick's name, but I've said I'm not down for that. Judy has pushed Nick's name, which I guess is just her talking to Poirot. I've told her I'm not down for a Nick vote and she's aware it's probably her vs. Lucifer here.


Right now, I'm on the fence. I don't really care who goes home and this clue/idol thing is bothering me enough that I wouldn't mind sending Lucifer home. I'm not sure how to help Judy other than flipping against Nick, so I can't be the one to push for that. If he manages to find the idol, I think that would seal her fate, but I'm not spending all 4 of my clues to help him out here.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 20, 2020, 07:33:16 pm
Poirot/Lennie/Judy are 100% pushing Nick which is ... odd... I guess his time zone being a difficult one for americans could leave people feeling left out, but if Lucifer is already being talked about, why would someone like Lennie also be pushing for Nick? Is the 99th hold that strong on him??? :P


I'm going to let nick know as he goes to bed that there's rumblings and that we need to try and look for the idol at least to make sure it gets used, though he's said he's already used both of his clues... I hope that an idol clue comes soon before he gets to bed :/

so i've essentially given lucifer the idol if I'm right here.


which means the clear vote should be judy. SVU is strongly pushing Nick. I'm fine with either Lucifer or Judy, but not a Nick vote. But now Jake is even on board with a Lucifer vote??? So i think I just have to go for it, and hope he uses the idol to get Judy out and no one comes up with a backup plan to account for the idol??? I'm scared I think i fucked up here lmaooooo I don't think I go home here, but I may have severed bonds I didn't need to sever.

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 21, 2020, 01:38:05 am
ew!! you are creepy! you've gotta pay me to get that kind of information.


I feel like this tribal is exciting! There's so much going on and it doesn't feel like an easy boot is going to happen here.


It seemed like the sides devolved into Lucifer vs Judy really quickly, but then suddenly, SVU side is pushing it on Nick? Which is really weird, I don't know why that's happening. I guess they think they can get Jake or I to jump on if it's Nick which makes? absolutely no sense for me, so it must be Jake's doing. But both Judy/Lucifer/Nick have told me that Jake is ghosting them so I don't even know where his head is at. I think the fact that he's been messaging me pretty consistently reassures me that he's working with me, but I wish he would stop talking in code.


It feels like he's sold on a Lucifer vote now as a "second best option" for all sides. Which would be a hella great way to frame it to make sure I'm on his side, but this makes no sense if he'd just vote Judy! We'd have the majority here, so he obviously just wants to keep her safe.


I've been reassured by Poirot and Lennie (and Judy to an extent) that this vote wouldn't burn any bridges, no matter what side of the lines we stand. Though, I think it's going to get a bit messy.


It seems like Lucifer has locked in the idol for himself. I don't see him changing his vote off anywhere but Judy, so the only hope to make sure he drops it is for him to use it on Nick. Or drop it so Nick can take it. That can make sure I'm safe. If everyone were to change their votes onto me, I'd already have the idol since I locked it in tonight. Though, if I'm 100% sure it's going to majorly flip Nick, then I'd drop it and let him grab it. I don't mind if Lucifer goes so if I steal it from him, oops :)
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 21, 2020, 10:23:47 am
Judy is so straightforward and not good at hiding her cards. Though, it does seem like she has the advantage here, so why should she? She straight up told us SVU has the Tiger Idol and plans on voting out Nick here with Lucifer as a 4th. I don't think there's much that can save Nick here without managing to convince Lucifer of another plan and I wish I didn't dig in my heels to protect Nick so much.

So Nick has a POLICE CHIEF POWER??? How many idols are in this game??? This is all way too crazy for me. So now apparently Lennie is getting out if the idols cross and Nick tosses his vote over to Lennie. And Jake is in on this. For some reason I don't trust Jake as much as I should... but if Nick does, i'm all for it.


Right now, I'm just banking that Poirot/Judy/Lennie locked in their votes with their idols at the beginning of tribal and haven't changed since then. If they switch their votes to me for any reason, i.e. if Jake backstabs us here, I'd have the idol in hand :)

Full debriefing on my game? Nothing much to say! I've been really good at challenges and managed to make it this far without getting to a tribal. This round is my first and it's proving to be crazy as all hell. I think I've managed to make a few tight friends that want to keep me safe so everyone keeps telling me things, but I feel like i haven't solidified down where I'm focusing my energy. So this tribal will probably determine that.

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 22, 2020, 09:41:41 am
This is a VERY fun merge. I don't think I'm in the worst position, which is surprising considering the last tribal.


Judy is a huge loud mouth, and she straight up told me no one sees me as a connected person or that i have many allies. Which I think is a good thing? Because I feel like I have a lot of friends with people and don't see myself coming up as a target anytime soon. Right now I have explicit agreements with:


Scruff, Jake, Poirot, Judy, Grouch, Pika, Lennie, and Rust. Just missing Lucifer and Leon, though those are understandable. Right now, I feel strongest about Jake, Poirot, Grouch and Scruff maybe. Pika and Rust I have to rekindle, though I think 12 being on the ropes makes that connection one out of necessity. Judy and I had a bit of tension this morning where she keeps calling me dishonest and then turning around and saying "But we could still work together!" and I flat out said she needs to believe that I was being genuine with her or we don't have a future. I got an apology, which I really appreciate and I think the fact that she was willing to go back on what she was saying is big of her and means her asking for an alliance is genuine.


Lennie I think has never been tested and might just be out of convenience. I also just don't know where he stands right now, so I want to build this up and make it stronger.

And NO ONE wants to make the 27th + 12th chat for WHY??? Jake put a lot of work into making sure that was a thing and everyone was aware but we still have nothing solidified!


I also made an alliance chart.. for your viewing pleasure. But this is definitely going to fall apart after this tribal, so I can remake it.

I feel like I'm playing this merge all wrong. I've put trust and distrust in a lot of people and I don't think I'm putting them in the right places. I want to trust Pika and Rust here because they're my old tribe mates but they are literally being so cagey with me. I want to trust Scruff/Jake/Leon but I feel like I'd be an obvious fourth in that, no matter what Jake tells me. I don't want to trust Poirot and Judy because of the way the last vote went down, but I feel like Poirot is the only one that makes sense in this game! But if that's the case, he can't go farther or he'll win! But Judy is so straightforward that she will explode her own game sooner or later right?? Ughh i'm very lost. I feel like I might do damage I won't be able to repair in this game if I choose the wrong side. But I literally don't know where to put my trust!

ok finally.... got something good from Lennie. But he's also asking me to get rid of Pika/Rust here..... It really does feel like I'm playing in the middle. Now that Lennie and Jake have decided their sides. I need to make a decision. Jake wants to stick with "The Wheelmen" Leon and Scruff. Rust and Pika are a pair that I will never be able to separate.


Poirot has been making it very clear that he's willing to cut Judy eventually. which is good because im 90% sure she just hates me lmao.


And I think flipping with Lennie here could bring us a lot closer, giving me the pair I desperately need to get further in this game.

Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 24, 2020, 11:23:25 am
jake woke up and caused ~drama~


Rust and Pika want Lennie/Poirot/Judy here.
Poirot/Lennie wanted Rustachu here and NOT Grouch


Jake, ever playing the middle, didn't want to shoot into one of those. Grouch clearly alienates his 99th buddies. Rustachu alienates his 27th buddies. So who does he go for? Lucifer... On paper, he seems like a good compromise. Hitting the 99th side's numbers, but they're already weak. And Poirot/Lennie gain from losing a member actually because they can then paint the narrative that they need to start poking holes into the Narcotics alliance.


So Rustachu are EXTREMELY against a Lucifer vote, and it's leaving a sour taste in their mouth. They're frustrated that 27th is suddenly immune because of all this and a Lucifer vote doesn't get at the larger, more connected people of the game, Poirot/Lennie/Judy. And I agree. I've wanted to play the middle too, but I think it's important to pick a side here. Rustachu definitely have me as a third, but I think anyone else in this game doesn't even see me as an ally, and trying to work with them on the vote isn't helping myself.


I'm leaning shooting into Lennie/Judy/Poirot here. I think Grouch is effectively safe here. Is it possible? I don't think so. I think Lucifer and Grouch could potentially be on board if they hear Poirot/Lennie are alienating them with this vote.


Also, side note, Jake is doing weird things with diagrams where he sends me one that shows me not connected to anyone, painting me as like needing him. Then he sent one to Pika/Rust with them connected to him (is he trying to hide that he had alliances with them on BAU for some reason???) and me barely connected to them. It's really weird and selective and I can only imagine him scribbling like 10 different diagrams while at work, and it's frustrating me.

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 24, 2020, 11:46:05 am
I may be choosing the wrong side by trying to work with Rustachu here. Like I can be completely shooting myself in the foot if this play doesn't go through. Should I just go with Jake and follow along to his every word because he's promised me I'm his closest ally <33


Ugh, I hate how this turned around. it was much easier when I was deciding between Rustachu and Grouch. I was probably going to vote out Rustachu here. I think I just always have an affinity for those that seem to be on the bottom and that is definitely my toxic trait.

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 24, 2020, 12:26:09 pm
I think my reasoning is, Jake is very strongly playing the middle here. He may say I'm his closest ally but he seems to be doing that to everyone. If I'm playing this wrong and read his confessional to find out that was the truth, I'm going to SCREEEAM. But oh well.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 24, 2020, 12:27:58 pm
Plus, this vote just shows that 99th is willing to cannibalize on each other whereas 27th portrays themselves as fractured but is really a strong ass unit. They need to be hit at some point. Leon is way to honest and a bit inexperienced to be a threat right now. Lennie could be an option, but it might be hard to get Poirot and Grouch to agree to that. I think Jake pleases everyone because no one really knows where he's at for real.

Jake and Pika are fighting in the 27th + 12th chat. Rustachu strongly doesn't want Lucifer. Jake assumes everyone's on board and is being patronizing. He sent me a message like "If we got you, we don't need Rustachu." and then Scruff sent Pika and Rust a message like "We don't need Penelope if we have you two." Like they're very clearly treating us as separate and I really appreciate Rustachu for making me involved in this. The don't see me as an ally, just a vote. And I'm at the bottom of their barrel.

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 26, 2020, 02:41:26 am
I DEFINITELY needed this immunity.


Jake feels most backstabbed by me which is a big RIP and a half <3. Was it a good move that I was planning on sending him home, maybe not! I think it definitely solidified my position as a free agent which I then went and threw that away by allying with everyone left in the game. Except Leon, though! He came into my PMs to tell me how much he thinks voting for Jake was a bad move like......why are you simping for this man who is not taking you to the end. Did you get picked yet??


I'm proud that this move flushed an idol. To have that randomly come up later would have been disastrous. I'm proud that I gave the merge a clear enemy here, either Jake or me, and from what I've been reassured, most folks are on my side, but that just might be the immunity talking. I think I usually play this game by trying to float the middle and no one ever feels trust in me and sends me home. This game, I wanted to explicitly choose sides. Like voting for Judy even past the majority, campaigning strongly for Jake. I've gotten compliments on my honesty from Lennie and Poirot and Grouch, folks I really didn't go into merge working with :P Just that I was willing to talk about tribals with them even if we weren't on the same page. I think this radical honesty is refreshing to some people? And it makes them feel like I'm on their side completely even if I don't vote the same way they do? So now, I still get to play the middle, but I don't have to pretend like I'm voting with someone when I know I'm not.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 26, 2020, 02:47:36 am
Right now, it seems like the vote is on Scruff. I've been trying to push it onto Leon because I feel like I like Scruff just a smidge better, though I think with his inactivity, it might be beneficial for just his real life state. Additionally, when he's here, he can freaking PLAY. And that scares me down the line. So I wouldn't mind seeing him go here.


The biggest complaint is that he "thought Poirot and Judy were locked in" so he decided to vote for Jake and then told everyone in the game about it, but then he inevitably forced Poirot and Judy's hand by doing that because they knew now that he was locked in. Now, he's backtracking on this and claiming he only did it for the majority and that's NOT good. If he gets back in Jake's pocket because of this, that's bad news for me.


Leon on the other hand is Scruff's right hand man, and Leon is not secretive about that. He makes it very clear that Scruff is his #1 and Jake is his #2. I feel like taking him out takes out a player that is essentially a +1 for them and keeps in the power players that others could rally against. Though, at this point, I feel like there are too many "power players everyone else can rally against."


I think my biggest sway will be Rust. I don't know if he broke off ties with Narcotics because of this vote. If he did, and he's down for a Scruff or Leon vote, then it's locked in. If he's still down to protect him, then it's probably still a Scruff and Leon vote but Rust followed shortly after. Yes,,,, I've become a 99th simp :/


I think my allies list goes like this:


Poirot
Grouch
Lennie
Rust
Lucifer
Judy
Scruff
Leon












Jake

You got me, it's true, I'm best friends with everyone on the former 99th and I drew "Lennie + 99th Precinct" on my binder with a heart around it. Also writing out "Mr. Lennie Hopps" in cursive over and over.

Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 27, 2020, 12:55:00 pm
I feel like Lucifer and Grouch are a pair. And then they are both kind of insinuating they're down to vote Judy/someone in the SVU/99th alliance. Which would be rather interesting. I hate this but I think I'm going to need to get on Jake's good side again.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 27, 2020, 01:01:12 pm
I see this round being a decisive round. The Lennie/Poirot/Judy group only need to get to Final 6 to reign supreme. Those three boots before that point are starting to wise up I think...


I see either Judy/Poirot coming to Rust and I about getting Lucifer/Grouch out or vice versa.


I think Poirot has been laying seeds that he's willing to backstab Judy at some point and now it's time to force his hand. He keeps whispering sweet sweet nothings to me that he's in this game for me and by my side, but he hasn't really proven that. Every vote he refuses to side with me until the last minute. And he openly admits to me he won't always go with my target if it means exposing himself to his other allies. Like, I know I'm not your number 1 but at least act like it like everyone else in the game is trying to do.

PMs with Jake are giving me a headache. Yes, I get that you've "never lied to me" but attacking you at f11 was not the worst move when I was at the bottom of everyone's list. I pulled together a coalition, I got people to reconsider their alliances. I put you and your allies at the bottom of the barrel and gained myself some leverage to use at FTC if I get there. What have you done except complained in people's PMs about how honest you are??

If you needed my vote here, you'd just be honest. Not cagey.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on July 27, 2020, 09:05:37 pm
I've now had Rust, Judy, and Lucifer come to me and tell me that Judy told Jake my name as a last resort but is actually going for Jake here. It makes sense, Jake is theoretically closer to Poirot/Lennie/Grouch/Lucifer and could weaponize them against her at some point. Jake is the "always gonna go person with no allies."


It feels,... off. Like why did Lucifer come and tell me that Judy sent this. He feels like...sent to do this....like why tell me that Judy was pretend throwing my name? So I don't use an idol?? But Rust is in on it too? Or also being lied to?


I'm not sure, but I kind of have to go with it if they are lying anyways.


Lennie came up to me and floated the idea of getting Lucifer out (again). I know he's trying to cover his alliance with Poirot/Judy by attacking a 99th here, but like, make it more obvious and just get me out at the Final 6 please.


So if the votes are between Lucifer and Jake... I have to go with Jake. I seem to have rekindled my alliance with Lucifer and might turn that into a foursome with Grouch and Rust at some point during this round. Then, we use that at F7 to turn things around on Judy/Poirot/Lennie. Of course, I'd rather get Lennie out earlier, because he's playing the middle really well, but there's just no traction there because everyone's using him without realizing they're just  building his case.


I don't see a scenario where if Jake stays, we end up burying the hatchet and being friends again. I just see him using whatever he has to backstab me back and I'd rather have someone like Lucifer who is genuine with his statements still in the game.

Im just so frustrated like it feels like there's no way out unless TWO people flip. And which two of Judy/Poirot/Leon/Lennie/Jake are willing to flip??


Jake - burned that bridge, he's going to relish in sending me home
Lennie - He's playing the middle, he has no reason to flip into a worse position
Leon - Lennie's personal goat
Judy - I'm really not sure where she's playing. Like maybe she'd flip if I can get it in her head that the boy's alliance is not going to take her and she has no shot against either of them?
Poirot - Spineless! He's honest, at least he has that going for him. But he's not going to risk a guaranteed F5 with better allies for me here.

Judy sent a message before tribal that was essentially like, "i'm sorry for just constantly backstabbing so I want u to use me here. I'm down for whatever you want to say." If she goes back on this, she loses my jury vote, because there's absolutely no reason to say that if there's not a way out.


Poirot has been on the fence, but I think if we have Judy, he'll turn too. This is what I sent Poirot as like a ~plan~. I don't know if it'll work.


Quote
I mean anything that you do would require coordination with Judy. My ideal target is Jake, more of a pride thing to make sure I get him before he gets me, but also I think he has one of the best cases when it comes to a jury. He was well liked and well connected everywhere he went. He managed to get the majority of votes and turn the entire game around based on very well placed connections back on Strike. And if he gets to the end, then he rode the target all the way from the merge. Plus, at the final 5, or even as early as Final 7 now that I think about it, him/Lennie/Leon could use one of the 3 stragglers to flip faster than you and Judy could. If he gets me out here, he knows I won't flip to him, so he'll probably push myself or Lucifer, because we're more connected to you than him. Then, all it takes is one desperate person, and we're currently at an excess.


All I'm saying is, you could strike first with Judy, and put yourself in a better F5. Lucifer's rode the middle, myself or Rust are not as connected to him as you are. Judy's been arguing to him that she was the one that kept him safe this round, so you have that leverage. Let things play out. With Final 5, you have to rely on Lennie, who hasn't had the chance to prove which side he's on when it comes to you and Judy versus Leon and Jake.


What do you think?


I think it's pretty tight? Like everyone knows Jake is a jury threat before this move and after and Leon is his own personal goat willing to get third to get him to the end.


So if I can flip Judy and Poirot and offer to keep Leon as long as possible, force him to seek new allies, and he'll rely on the SVU group at the Final 6, they might feel comfortable about their position? To beat me they just need Leon and Lucifer. I think Lucifer feels pretty backstabbed so it might help.


But,,,,it also serves a second purpose of throwing Rust under the bus. They know I won't flip to Jake's side. They know they have leverage with Lucifer. If one of the three has to go here, Rust is the least trustworthy. It could turn into an argument between that side of who they're willing to boot, so I'm hoping to entire within that crack. If 27th pushes to get rid of Lucifer/Me and 99th pushes Rust, My hope is that they get frustrated and go with us. I think that means I need to push Lucifer to 27th to ensure I stay if for some reason they get all hunky dory and agree on a target. But Judy/Poirot know they can't win with that.

I'm going to lose my MIND


sso I got a good message from Judy that she's willing to vote Jake and absolutely wants to. Whether this is a ploy or not, it's the only bait I've gotten and I'm biting.


Lucifer is going mental and pushing Poirot to Lennie/Leon/Jake which makes... NO sense. WE NEED JUDY/POIROT TO FLIP. LENNIE/JAKE/LEON HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OVER THEM. I'm like 78% sure Jake has a +1 from whatever that play Nick was trying to do. So we need 5 here. But if Judy/Poirot give up and let it happen, Jake keeps the +1 and goes into F7 with just as much power. It's so annoying. They are literally giving up their game to give him the win and Lucifer is as well.

okay lucifer sent me a really cute apology so he is officially forgiven <33333


Spoiler
I trust you and I'll do that. You're probably right.

I'm sorry, I really don't know how you can be so calm and rational during these games. I guess I have a tendency to be a bit emotional sometimes. I was pretty upset that Grouch went, because like obviously we were pretty close. I got a bit upset and just didn't handle it well obviously. I felt pretty betrayed- I'd really tried to be pretty honest with him about what I was doing and where I was at ever since the beginning of the game and I guess I'm just feeling pretty betrayed. Like obviously I didn't want Grouch to go, but in particular I really don't see any reason why it was necessary to lie to me there either. That coupled with other acts of deception and the fact that I got a really lackluster apology that felt fake and honestly just seemed centered around blaming everyone else left me a bit upset. So I tried to start the worst revenge tour of all time and went flying off the rails two seconds in. I'm sorry.


I do really appreciate you. You've been a pretty great ally. I've loved your quippy remarks and fun personality- talking to you in general's been fun. I appreciated how you were very understanding of the Nick vote even when I handled it pretty poorly and didn't do a great job handling the ramifications there. And then also I just really appreciate you having my back throughout the entirety of merge, it means a lot and I've tried to have your back as best I can too. It'd be really easy to just cut me here and vote the other way and instead you've stuck by me when it puts you in a tough position and you're amazing for that. Thanks for being awesome <3 I'll try to get my game together now.

my response:


Spoiler
I really appreciate this <3. I think that's just who I am; I don't let things get to me irl and can quickly move on so I do that in the game as well. I was frustrated too with the betrayal but I understood that they were only looking out for an idol. We had tried to do the same thing to Jake, so all's fair in love and survivor. :P I do agree that Judy's apology and also just demeanor this whole tribal has been really odd and doesn't make sense. I try to logic it out that she's definitely sticking out her neck here and doesn't have to do this. Giving us hope and telling us she's down to flip on the 5 would be an easy way to burn three bridges and lose out on those votes in the end. It logically makes no sense unless they're just afraid of another idol, which is a possibility, so she could just be scheming us here, again and we'll find out at deadline.


Overall, I felt so betrayed as well and at this point, the only way to get revenge is to do better. This seems to be our only way out barring the next few rounds, but what that takes is making it past these rounds. If there's items or idols that stop this vote from happening, then that's out of our hands, but we got to do what we can barring those things and right now I think that's vote Jake. Don't be so hard on yourself. Honestly, you didn't even have to message me after the Nick vote, you could have went with the, that bridge is burned, no hope, mentality, but you were the one that came back and explained the situation and owned up for it, and I appreciated that a lot. I'm glad we both agreed not to officially end things there because I don't think we'd be in this position if we did. <3

I think the plan is to buddy buddy up with Judy and pretend I wasn't trying to get her out this round. Unless others told her, which they probably did, I don't think she'll want to target me here. I at least wasn't the one pushing her name. I think Lennie needs to go considering he's a huge jury threat and buddy buddied with everyone in the game. Will he get the numbers? I'm not sure. I could be swayed to do a Lucifer vote, but I don't like it. He seems to be on my side for now, and I need more people like that in this game :P

If I get Lennie out here, everyone still wants Judy out next round. Then you put yourself in a F5 with Leon/Lucifer/Rust/Me. Do you not trust me? :P

Post by: Penelope Garcia on August 02, 2020, 05:46:46 am
Here are all my thoughts on everyone so far. As the number's dwindle, I want to make sure I'm taking the right people to the end whether it's a final 2 or 3 and if it's actually feasible to get these people past Final 6/5/4 because everyone has an argument for why they should stay:


Judy - She's a good player, but I think she has big move itis cough cough. For the last two times that she had immunity, she actually considered her position and starts to backstab her allies that had her on the bottom. Everyone knows her as a threat to win this game, and yet she's been painted as the villain by Poirot. Anytime a vote is coming down to the wire, Poirot refuses to make a decision and instead says something along the lines of "I'm discussing this with Judy." "I'm waiting on Judy." Even for this vote! He said "I'm discussing this with Judy." even though his decision was essentially made. So I think I need to stick with Judy for now. I consider myself a threat and know people want to take me out for my challenge ability as well as my jury management. I didn't piss anyone off this game (yet). Even Jake went him singing my graces because I was sa good friend to him despite all the backstabbing. Judy is afraid of being taken out as a threat and so am I. So if we move together, we can trust each other.


Rust - I thought I was rather close with Rust back on 12th, but back then, I wasn't close with anyone. It was the beginning of the game, we were winning challenges, I was very inactive. I came on once a day to reply to messages and let things sit there for hours. In the swap, I was a bit better and responding to messages, but Rust had already made friendships with other people and shared those conceptions of me. I found out that he told Jake about the Sergent's Form (which inevitably helped him find it, so Rust is directly responsible for that). Rust didn't even mention it to me and I found out about it from Jake on Strike. Rust told me outright a few rounds ago, that back on BAU, I was probably the vote had we lost. I wasn't as well connected as the other 12ths, and it's good to take out members of your large tribe that's winning challenges, because people are afraid of a Pagong. So all of this is to say, Rust and I weren't close at all and formed an alliance out of necessity when Pika went. I knew we were going to be lumped together anyways, but I pulled him close when all of his allies were going home. I feel like he's well liked and probably has connections I don't know about, but I don't think he's made any big moves or made a big impression on anyone on the jury except for getting by when the going's gotten tough. I feel like he's a safe bet to get to the end because we had the same exact merge, but I was always the bigger target. He can say he hid behind me, but then who's the one playing the game?


Lucifer - I got off on the wrong foot with Lucifer back on BAU. We didn't talk much and we never got close on Strike. It was definitely a mistake even considering voting him off back then considering his connections enabled him to flip on Nick/Jake/Myself, and I've paid for that. During the merge, we started off with saying "We're not allies, but we're not burning this bridge. We'll see how things shake out." As merge progressed, we got closer and almost almost formed a four person alliance with Rust/Grouch/Lucifer/Myself. When Grouch went out, that alliance became a 3-person one and was a bit forced. Now I feel like I've been made to be the defacto leader of this minority alliance and during Lennie's and Jake's TC's, I was the target from the Majority and I had to work to protect these two people I barely had a connection with. However, because of this, Lucifer came clean to me, told me all about his alliance with Judy, is telling me his thoughts, and I don't think he'd be sharing this much if he wasn't fully committed to me. Whereas Rust is a bit shady, or at least doesn't PM me enough information to make me 100% comfortable with our alliance, Lucifer goes above in beyond in making sure I know that he can be trusted. For that, I want to take him far and share all my thoughts and strategy with him. I think the only failing point is how much he managed to get through in this game. He was almost always the counter-vote and had to dodge a lot of tribals, but I don't think I can say he got out of it by his own accord? It always felt like the vote went on someone else because of a bigger threat, which just paints Lucifer as the weaker person in this game. But I can also argue that he aligned with the right people at the right times. If it wasn't for his connection with Judy, we wouldn't have been able to persuade her to flip with us. She feels like she can trust Lucifer 100%, so she moves with us to give her that edge in a Final 5 situation, but I strongly believe Lucifer would choose us over her.


Poirot - Oh Poirot :). I really really liked him back on Strike. He was great to talk to and fun to be around. I definitely think he's a social threat to win this game. No one can say they didn't like him. However, I think he's severely screwed up his game by appearing to be too loyal while also distancing severely. He likes to paint the picture that he's open and honest with you, yet he's flipped and backstabbed two people now. He says he votes for what he wants to happen but has voted with the majority just because it's the majority but then kept his vote on me last tribal :P I don't think he's being honest when he says he "needs me." He can easily get to the end with someone like Rust, who could backstab me to distinguish our games. I genuinely believe he should be the next boot to go because having him in the game is always going to be a danger to me. He's the only other real social threat.


Leon - Leon started this merge as a goat and hasn't really left that perception for me. He's just shifted his trust around to whoever was keeping him safe. He followed Lennie and Jake the entire merge, but then when he realized Judy was gaining power, he flipped to her. When Judy started to falter because of her big moves, he's come over to me now. This isn't stable, but I trust that he isn't a good liar and he really wants to keep me in this game for the next few rounds. I have some leverage over him in the fact that Judy wanted to get him out last round. Floating is a valid strategy and I genuinely think Leon has done it really well. He's always been on the majority alliance's side and has never had to worry about being on the bottom of a vote. Hell, he's gone to the most tribals in this game and survived all of them even when in the minority. But I think a lot of his power comes from his alliances he formed early and not his own work considering others just used him as a normal vote.


Currently, ideal final 3 is Lucifer/Rust. Mostly because I try to be loyal, but also, I trust Lucifer isn't going to dramatically backstab me when I lose an immunity and he's been so honest to me while also hiding our alliance so I think he'd be a great person to have by my side at F5. Rust has no real way to distinguish his game from mine, so I feel I can trounce him easily in an FTC. If this a F2, I doubt either would take me though, lmao.... I may have to reconsider boot order/finals next round after what happens here, but I can also foresee myself taking Judy if I'm really confident in my game. Which, I currently am not.


Ideal boot order is
Poirot
Judy
Leon
Lucifer
Rust

Weighing the prospects of going full against Judy this round since it seems Lucifer and Rust are on board and I hope Rust would be willing to go to rocks for me :P Or if I can convince Judy/Leon/Poirot, I absolutely would not go to rocks for Rust, they might vote him?


Though I don't know how much Judy/Leon/Poirot are a thruple. I think there's been a lot of infighting and distancing that i can believe they genuinely won't vote together.


I'm thinking of stringing along one of them for a vote, say Poirot for a vote on Judy, and then getting Rust/Lucifer to vote for Poirot to ensure no random idol gets played. I think at this point it's very likely one could come popping up because we've never found out what that stupid Corporal's Advantage does so I just want to cover my bases.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on August 03, 2020, 09:42:29 am
ok i know i always come into my confessional like "im so worried, im so scared ahhh," but like I must be being lied to. I just really don't understand how things are going my way because logically being on the bottom, I shouldn't be controlling the votes?? Things are just too easy to get a vote off the ground here. Survivor's not meant to be this easy??


First of all, Rust/Lucifer all agreed to Judy rather quickly. I understand why Rust would be on board, because I don't think he has a lot of connections and that would be a logical step forward, but Lucifer being on board is odd? Like Judy is so gung-ho about him I don't know why he would throw that away. I guess he chose his final 3 should be Rust/Me/Him instead of Him/Poirot/Judy because it distinguishes his game from Judy and Poirot's. But like... how can he be sure he'd get to the end?


And then Leon is on board just ready to jump into a F3 alliance late and backstab his other F3 that has been with him this whole time but is plagued by infighting. I don't know, I feel like I'd try to just buckle down and work with them begrudgingly but it seems like he's willing to get 4th/5th for selling them out.


I feel like Poirot is the only person playing strategically here, but that might also be because he's honest and tells me what he's thinking. I always know why he's making a move he's making and can logic things out and I feel like he's not hiding anything from me. Like if he had a secret alliance with Rust and Lucifer and they intend to backstab me at F4 I'd definitely be shocked.


I don't know, I just feel like the second part of this merge has been so much easier and less intensive because people keep laying down their game to make sure I go further and I didn't really have to do anything about it but be a nice conversationalist. Is that a jury argument though? Did I just float by or did I make the right connections and backstab Jake at the best time to cause instability?
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on August 03, 2020, 09:48:11 am
I guess I could be selling myself short here. I put in a lot of work to make sure my connections were never broken, especially with people like Leon and Lucifer even if we weren't on the same side during the beginning of the merge. With Lucifer, that's enabled me to strengthen this connection all the way to here and hopefully further, enough to where it makes more sense for him to side with me than the people he's been following all game because it gives him a good jury argument and the potential to get votes.


With Leon, even though we had barely met, I made sure we were constantly talking and updating each other while also being as honest as possible so that when this point came and I had to pretty much beg for my life in this game to have him flip with Judy, he'd believe me when I'd said I wanted to take him to the end and I do not go back on my word. Maybe he feels absolutely confident in that which is why he's willing to leave his alliance that's already crumbling and brave a F4 with me in the hopes that I'd take him. And maybe I might! I want to make sure I'm in the end with people I can beat, otherwise I'm just playing against my wincon, and I think I can easily beat Leon/Rust and Lucifer would be a bit tougher, but I still think I can manage it. Judy and Poirot definitely need to go back to back here to ensure I'm the most threatening person sitting there.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!
Post by: Penelope Garcia on August 03, 2020, 02:35:54 pm
So Rust says Leon is actually still debating between the two votes, but is leaning Judy. And he's 100% willing to go to rocks if they flip. I think Judy has an idol and I want to do Poirot here, but I don't know when to suggest it.
Title: Re: Welcome to your confessional!

Okay so ~everyone~ is on board with a Judy vote. But does she have an idol??? Idk. And this round, I think I could actually split the vote easily??? Do I fucking risk it?? What if they are all lying to me and she doesn't have an idol but they want me to swap my vote over to someone else and I fuck up? What if Lucifer and Rust don't log on in time to vote for Poirot?


What if Judy just has an idol and even if it's 5 - 1, I still go home?

So with this vote, it's 100% up to Rust/Lu. If they backstab me, they backstab me, and there's really nothing I can do about it. I could flash that I have the Police Chief/Constable Advantage, but that may just blow up in my face if they bluff me. I think just being 100% honest and showing my cards is in my best interest here. I asked them to just be honest about what they're thinking/planning because there's no point in blindsiding as I would have played an idol AGES ago.

I don't think there's a chance Poirot/Leon/Myself vote out Lu because then we just go into a F4 that's messy and risky. Unless they bet on rust being pissed and voting me out there, but otherwise, I don't think that's nice to do to Lu with how much he's saved my ass at this point.

After asking Rust/Lu what they were honestly thinking, I got pretty positive responses. Again, I don't know if they have any reason to lie to me, but I trust that they're being honest.


Rust said: of course Poirot is sending me messages about how dangerous you are, but I don't believe it, I think we both have a shot to get some votes. I intend to go into a F3 with us three, no doubts about it.


Lu said: Of course I'm on your side, however Poirot is not messaging me about how much of a danger you are, but would love to hear your case if you have one.


So... I'm a bit worried about Lucifer's response because how is Poirot NOT trying to serenade him here? Like that doesn't make logical sense and why would he hide it? I guess Poirot is trying to see if he can flip Rust first and if he can't his next option might be to try and get me to vote Lucifer? He really only needs one if he thinks he has Leon on his side.


Meanwhile, Leon is telling both me and Poirot that he's on our respective side and voting the other person 100%. Like, I get he's a newbie, but there's no reason to play both sides here when neither of us have the power/are both on the block msafnklasdfj;aklsdf. all you're doing is theoretically giving someone hope when there is none and that's going to leave a sour taste in their mouth when they go home, potentially costing you a vote.

I didn't want to because i figured he would just go with the majority, but he may be the ACTUAL swing vote.

SCULLY: Are you grilling Leon?
HITCHCOCK: Are you grilling anything?  Like some sausages maybe?
SCULLY: What's your pitch--wait, what did you say about sausages, Hitchcock?

Well Leon's asleep so nothing to say to him now. And Lucifer confirmed that him and Rust will be voting together, whatever happens. I think he's more likely to vote me than Rust is, but he's adamant that they will be voting together and hasn't given me a clear answer. He quite literally said,

"While there's a chance you get betrayed and I'm sorry about that, I will say that I have no intentions of backstabbing Rust here at all, I've communicated with him thoroughly during this vote and don't plan on making a decision without him. I fully expect us to vote the same way."


Like, Rust has told me he's 100% voting Poirot here so that means that Lucifer is as well? So then why is he acting so noncommittal??

I think my argument to Leon is just, look, if you're the one that makes it through the alliance that was being decimated, you're golden. You survived the worst circumstances. If Poirot goes with you, he has pretty much confirmed votes from his F3, Jake/Lennie, and looks like the stronger person because of his social play. You don't get votes with Poirot there whatsoever, and will have to rely on him in the F4 if I go here. So either you get him out here or you are forced to go to the end with him.


I can argue that if he goes back on his alliance now, he made the power move and realized when to jump ship, that's a smart move.

Spoke too soon! Leon's awake! Now, do I double PM him or is that tacky. He thinks that i think that he's 100% on my side, so I would have no need to worry, If I started getting nervous, he'd probably have the impression that I'm dead in the water and the majority is against me, so why bother?

Hey! Sorry for just getting back at you. Nothing has changed, I promise. I'm still voting Hercule with you and I know Rust and Lucifer has your back too. As I've said, you have nothing to worry about here because I'm trying my best to get rid of him too and I'm happy that we're all in the same page.

I'm getting anxious though. I'm feeling a bit paranoid about this vote.
