I am thrilled about zat idol play! I couldn't be 'appier. I can think of nothing better to keep ze game distracted for a round or two.
Eet does make eet potentially 5-5, since Mlle Hopps and I were going to vote to keep M. Peralta, but I doubt Mlle Hopps will want to draw rocks.
Mlle Garcia just suggested we compete together, which I was going to accept, but in a way eet might make more sense to compete with Mlle Hopps so zat if we won, we both could be Immune and would be in ze position to keep M. Peralta safe. But I'm not even sure if Mlle Hopps would want zat.
-
Also zis game 'as been fantastique with ze successful idol plays. Not zat many seem to 'ave been 'idden (at least zat I know of) so ze fact zat we 'ave 'ad two so far ees rather remarkable.
-
Mlle Garcia ees so not subtle about our relationship, but whatever. I'm embracing eet at zis point.
I'm going to want to save M. Peralta again, and target M. McGruff, but I'm not sure 'ow feasible zat ees.
-
'Ere ees a graphique. I make zese most games I play just to help me remember tribes, zis one I need eet less because I find ze tribes fairly distinctive in my mind, but still, 'ere eet ees.

Zere ees still so much confusion about what 'appened last tribal.
M. McGruff ees still telling 'is story, and zere may be some truth zere. I 'ave no idea. Probably zere are some elements of truth and some fabricated elements.
M. Briscoe ees not 'aving eet though, and eet serves me perfectly fine to turn zis all on M. McGruff. M. McGruff conveniently told M. Briscoe zat 'e 'ad to take M. Kennedy out eventually because 'e was a Jury threat, so we can use zat against 'im. I don't really care about ze truth of what 'appened last round. Eet suits my agenda to argue zat M. McGruff ees a traitor.
M. Peralta might want to target Mlle Garcia though, and I'm not sure if I am ready to do zat or not.
-
A note about Mlle Garcia:
I like 'er a lot, and I do want to protect 'er 'ere. I think she really likes me, and I think she ees relying on 'er connection with me to see 'er through maintenant.
'Owever...do I trust 'er to take me to ze end? Absolument non. Do I trust M. Grouch to take me to ze end? Absolument non. Ze only one I 100% trust to take me to ze end ees Mlle Hopps, followed by M. Briscoe. So keeping ze two of zem in ze game ees a top priority. M. Kennedy maybe, but I wouldn't bank on eet. I don't want M. Kennedy near ze end anyway, because 'e might be seen as a goat to drag. But I think I can make ze argument zat 'e ees a threat to win due to 'is unusual premerge story and some people might believe eet.
I know I'm thinking way in advance, but I'm very clear in my 'ead about what relationships 'ave a chance to lead to me being in ze end and what relationships do not.
-
And actually 100% trust with Mlle Hopps ees probably an exaggeration. I'll say I 75% trust 'er to take me to ze end in ze situation where she 'as ze choice.
-
Did I just win an Immunity? Did I just actually win an Immunity?
I can't believe eet. I never thought ze day would come. I am so 'appy.
-
Well, Penelope was the vote I was going to advocate for this time around, but she's off the table.
Nice job on the challenge!
Could not be more parfait. I get to be Immune, and I don't 'ave to worry about Mlle Garcia being ze target.
-
For me zis round ees coming down to relationships vs moves on paper. On paper, I think getting rid of M. Cohle and zen making eet so zat a 27 goes 'ome next ees ze ideal move. Eet forces ze 'and of ze game, so to speak, into booting a 27 since zey are a solid foursome in a way zat 99 just ees not, perceptually at least. Maybe I just think zat because I'm in 99.
But relationships-wise, I feel better about M. Cohle zan about M. McGruff. So I may boot M. McGruff.
Zere ees also weirdness going on with what both M. McGruff and M. Cohle claim 'appened last round, but I don't really care about zat. At best, eet ees a nice excuse to boot M. McGruff.
-
I'm sorry, I refuse to believe zat M. Cohle was going to vote M. Pikachu and only didn't because of ze confusion around ze vote. Zat does not comport with anything I 'ave 'eard. I was explicitly telling 'im zat I 'ad not decided, and 'e was campaigning to me for me to vote M. Peralta and saying zat 'e understand my issue with M. Pikachu, but M. Pikachu was a "necessary part of ze vote". 'E wasn't necessarily pushing zat 'ard, but if 'e wanted ze boot to be M. Pikachu, 'e 'ad ample opportunity to make eet 'appen or to propose zat to me, and 'e knew I was considering eet because I told 'im zat I knew M. Pikachu 'ad said my name. 'Is actions make zero sense if 'is goal was to eliminate M. Pikachu.
M. McGruff, maybe if I stretch my mind I can believe zat 'e legitimately was confused, given 'is limited availability. But given zat M. Cohle ees saying zat too, eet actually makes me believe M. McGruff even less, because we zen know at least one person ees lying, why not two? Maybe zey both just agreed with each other to stick to zat story when ze idol was played.
I've confronted M. Cohle about eet though, because you are not ze first person I 'ave 'eard eet from so eet can't be traced back to you. Even M. McGruff said to me zat M. Cohle was on board. We will see what 'e says or if 'e changes 'is story or what.
I just sent zis to M. Briscoe, but zese are my true feelings about ze idea zat maybe M. Cohle and M. McGruff actually wanted to vote out M. Pikachu but did not because of misunderstandings.
Eet turns out zat once an idol ees played, 'alf of ze game really really really did not want to vote zat person, but zey 'ad no choice, ze numbers were already zere! And ze annoying thing ees zat zat ees exactly what 'appened with me (and eet did pay dividends with Mlle Garcia, so I was right to flip my vote) and eet also 'appened with Mlle Hopps, but all of zese fraudulent claims make us look less trustworthy as well.
If M. Peralta 'aving ze majority of ze votes was some strange mistake, zat ees hilarious, but I find eet so difficile to believe. And I cannot believe eet of M. Cohle, zere ees no way. If I'm wrong, M. Cohle ees a truly 'orrible player utterly unable to accomplish 'is goals even when zey are being 'anded to 'im on a silver platter. Hercule Poirot ees not wrong though. Zese people think we are stupide.
-
I will say zat M. Cohle ees not a 'orrible player though. I was considering targeting 'im and zen 'e offered me a "formal alliance" and protection when I get targeted due to being a duo with Mlle Hopps. 'E knows 'ow to play to my insecurities.
-
Mon Dieu, M. Cohle really did want to vote for M. Pikachu, didn't he?
'E ees so bad at pushing for what 'e wants. Or 'e ees just cowardly and wanted Mlle Hopps and I to do eet for 'im
I do not understand 'ow zat 'appened. 'Ow are people so bad at zis? I know I did ze same thing, but zey gave me zero indication of what was 'appening, and I gave zem my thoughts every step of ze way.
-
I can't stop laughing.
Eet really 'appened. Four people voted against M. Peralta not because zey wanted to, but because zey thought ze numbers were not zere to do anything else.
And ze, in ze biggest twist of all, zey were bailed out by M. Peralta 'aving an idol.
You couldn't script zis, eet ees just so ridiculous. Your question at tribal about communication was apt.
-
Multiple people 'ave said zat Mlle Garcia would be getting voted out maintenant were she not immune, so I am 'appy about zat
-
A storm ees brewing between two of my alliances, particularly between Mlle Garcia and M. Peralta, and I may need to make a decision between zem soon, possibly as soon as next round.
Zis round will either be a proxy war taking out a secondary piece on one of zeir sides or eet will be a consensus boot on someone like M. Cohle who no one ees going to stick up for. For one of zem, booting M. Cohle might be a mistake.
I think booting M. Cohle ees a mistake for M. Grouch and Mlle Garcia, but eet seems like zey might mistakenly prefer eet. But ze problem with zat ees zat if M. McGruff links back up with 27 and Mlle Hopps refuses to flip on zem, zey will 'ave ze numbers. I feel comfortable in my place with zem because I 'ave M. Briscoe and Mlle Hopps still, and I think M. Kennedy, M. Peralta, and M. McGruff make ze more troublesome target, especially if people wrongly assume zat M. Briscoe ees in with zem too.
But keeping M. Cohle gives me a path to possibly make a move against zat group at 9, which depending on 'ow things go might be something I'm interested in. I'm not sure.
-
Also we love waking up to twenty new messages. I 'ave so much to wade through I don't even know where to begin. Groupchats are crazy.
-
I was just honest with M. Cohle about ze fact zat 'e ees in danger and targeting M. McGruff ees 'is best 'ope at staying alive. I 'ave Immunity, so I might as well really push for what I want to 'ave 'appen instead of taking a backseat on ze round I 'ave ze most leverage to accomplish my goals.
Eet might blow up in my face, but if so, oh well. At least I can't receive ze blowback, not immediately anyway.
-
I really am going to be in a bad spot eventually. I'm not sure what to do about eet. I'm too obviously powerful.
-
I deleted my message to M. Cohle.
Taking out M. Cohle puts me in a better spot. Taking out M. McGruff ees too obviously my doing, and I'm already overexposed. And eet means zere ees no pressure to take out a 27 next round.
-
If M. Cohle goes, next round ees 4-4-1 in terms of original tribes, and I don't see 'ow I get voted out unless M. Grouch, Mlle Garcia, M. Morningstar, and M. McGruff all band together, but even zen, zat's only 4 votes. I am in a position to make ze decision.
On ze other 'and, if I force through a vote on M. McGruff, which I could do, eet ees 4-3-1. All eyes will be on 99, and eet will be ze perfect time to make a move against one of ze most obviously powerful people in ze game.
Long-term, I 'ave problems either way. M. Grouch 'as been honest about feeling like an underling, which ees trash in terms of getting zis person to take me to ze end. Honestly I think siding with ze M. Grouch, M. Morningstar, Mlle Garcia side of things next round might spell doom, as much as I like zem. I don't know zat any of zese people 'ave genuine interest in taking me to ze end, whereas M. Briscoe and Mlle Hopps might.
I don't think zey realize eet, but keeping M. McGruff 'ere might spell out at least one of M. Morningstar, M. Grouch, and Mlle Garcia's doom next round.
-
I think M. Peralta just seems weak after everyone against 'im last round, but eet ees definitely possible zat things pick up against 'im instead.
So M. Cohle, I can't stop laughing because we are such a désastre. Last round, I was waiting for Mlle Hopps to get online and when she finally did, she was leaning towards voting M. Pikachu, but before we confirmed anything, we both got messages from M. McGruff saying zat 'e thought M. Peralta was such a 'uge threat and 'e was voting against 'im and would not be online for ze rest of ze round, copy-paste messages basically. So we were like, well, I guess our decision ees made for us, and zat was why we decided to go against M. Peralta instead of M. Pikachu. We 'ad no idea zat you were considering zat and we thought zat without M. McGruff, ze numbers were lost. But in reality, M. McGruff for some reason possibly only sent zat because 'e thought we were already against M. Peralta and 'e wanted to be on ze winning side. I don't know 'ow zat 'appened, other zan ze fact zat ze four of us 'ad not met until merge and didn't 'ave ze trust in each other to tell our true feelings, but ze votes should probably 'ave been against M. Pikachu if we weren't all 'orrible at zis. And zen hilariously, ze votes didn't even matter and we all got what we wanted anyway, and we flushed an idol while we were at eet. We are truly savants idiots.
So, M. Cohle, in ze spirit of 'aving better communication zis round, I'm going to be 100% honest with you 'ere. You could leak zis and really you 'ave a lot of reason to do so, as you will see, but I think if we're going to be relying on each other 'ere, I cannot remain silent zis round. I do trust you and I want you to stay alive.
Zere ees currently a push to eliminate you zis round. I don't know zat eet currently ees set in stone, but eet ees definitely ze way ze winds blew overnight. I 'ave no interest in doing zat, especially since we just formalized an alliance. If ze numbers are zere, I might 'ave no choice, but I truly do not want zat to 'appen.
So 'ow do we save you? I think by far ze best bet ees to target M. McGruff, which I know you may not love since ze two of you are close, but I think ze vote ees currently down to ze two of you, and honestly, I think if we don't target M. McGruff, you will be ze one going 'ome. Zere still are four hours left in ze vote, so of course things can change, but I think M. McGruff ees ze only vote option other zan yourself zat I see with real traction.
I might be wrong though. Maybe zere are some secret plans 'appening zat I am not included in, in which case I would appreciate eet if you let me know about zem. I'm putting a lot of trust in you by telling you zis, but we agreed to try to keep each other safe, and zat ees what I 'ave been doing.
Obviously I would appreciate eet if until we figure out 'ow to proceed 'ere, you did not share zat I told you zis. I 'ave no interest in seeing you go 'ome zis round, and when we agreed to keep each other safe, I took zat seriously.
Zis was my PM to M. Cohle zat got deleted. Think 'ow eet would change things if eet was sent.
-
M. Grouch just admitted to me zat 'e does not plan to take me to ze end. Which, I mean, I appreciate ze honesty, but at ze same time...zat just confirms to me zat sticking with 'im and Mlle Garcia over Mlle Hopps and M. Briscoe ees not a valid choice 'ere.
-
Yeah that's entirely fair and I think we all feel the same. My worry here is that people take Scruff's posts and go, "Hmm, he's wrong on Judy but maybe he has a point." And then focus ends up on you Poirot.
And that would be a shitty situation. You hopefully have Grouch and Luc in your corner though.
Eet ees a totally legitimate concern. I worry about ze same thing. And I can't win every Immunity, eet was a minor miracle zat I won zat one.
I don't know what I can do though. I 'ave decided to stick with M. Briscoe, M. Kennedy, M. Peralta, and Mlle Hopps next round though. Zis public post tipped ze needle for me, along with M. Grouch admitting zat 'e does not see me as an endgame partner.
