Again, you're going to have to clarify. What was I doing?
Also, really, second game over here.

« on: July 30, 2020, 05:20:23 pm »*smacks hands on the table* Where's our public callouts?Why would I make public callouts when I can instead bid everyone a fond farewell? Honestly the only person who made it to the merge who I didn't like on a personal level was Judy, and that was mostly lack of effort on her part.

« on: July 30, 2020, 05:19:07 pm »Also, I need people like Judy, Leon, and Jake to justify why ignoring people's PMs at any point during merge is acceptable. Half of this game is social, and if you didn't do fuckall with that or did it incredibly poorly, that's not a game I want to vote for.I was honestly just stupid busy. Most people were getting one message from me a day, and I was racking up sleep debt even managing that. You were pretty clearly not on my side and weren't ever going to be, so I knew I was going through the motions. That wasn't personal, I quite liked you when we were on the BAU tribe. Just bidniss.

Would you also believe it's only my second game?

If so, you should really be proud of making top 8 despite that.)Yes, I was. Summer is extremely busy for me, I'd wanted to spectate. When the mods offered me a spot anyway, though, I couldn't say no.

« on: July 30, 2020, 05:08:40 pm »Damn! Sorry to see you here. Hope you don’t hold anything against me for what I said or did during the merge, most of it was me being a bit tired of the game (especially since I had work) and making sure people voted for me to give Penny and Rust time to regroup and recover.Water under the bridge. It threw grit in the gears of my game, but that's Survivor.
I agree that we butted heads ingame, but you would probably be my favorite character-wise from a spectator perspective. Well played.
FWIW, I think I managed to avoid outright lies until the last couple of hours when I was scrambling to survive.
Ugh, this piss-yellow filter on my avatar does NOT do it any favors.

Hey Scruff...how much of that did you believe and how much of it was throwing yourself on a grenade for Rust?

Judy flipped on me, and it looks like she took Leon too. That'll be the end of me, then my closest allies in rapid succession.
But wait, there's more!
I figured out the Corporal's Exam today. I'm going to try to use that to my advantage in a big old bluff.
=====
I got on after work today meaning to do your challenge but...nah. See, I was thinking that you, Leon, and I could perhaps strike out on our own around F7, but I know the vote's against me right now.
So screw it. I'm activating my advantage for +1 vote. Nick tipped me off to it back on the Strike Team. He didn't have a chance to use it, so I'm cashing it in.
The alphanumeric pairs across the top are grid coordinates, with A-C representing rows and 1-5 representing columns. As the grid stands, it's gibberish, of course. That would be too easy. The grid squares need to be re-arranged into a 3x5 grid where each color/number matches its neighbor. That's where I got stuck for a while, partly due to colorblindness. The sixes and nines were the only inconsistent colors. I eventually realized that the H, I, O, and N squares are all rotationally symmetrical, flipping sixes and nines and making the colors consistent. After that, I printed it out and arranged it into a new grid (harder than it sounds) and tried the grid search again. I got the Y-axis wrong the first time, but the second yielded a real word: CLOAKING.
So. You can either reconsider aligning with Judy and help me take her out or you can go to rocks. I don't mean to strong-arm you like this, but I don't have the time to be as polite as I'd like. She's a bad bet and I'm not. I'm tapped out after this, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be betrayed again by someone I've shown nothing but friendship to. I'm voting for Judy, and I've got the votes to take it to rocks. Your call.
=====
I sent that to Leon and Rust, as well as copies to Lennie and Poirot to clue them in. If one of Leon and Rust bites, that could send us to rocks. If both do, it would swing the vote.
It's a long shot, but it's my best card to play. I'm hoping the bluff has enough concrete pieces of truth (i.e. an actual solution to a puzzle) that it looks real. Fingers crossed.

WAY too close.
At least we know this alliance is honest. For now.

1) Last round certainly seemed to be an explosive one! How well are you navigating the fallout?
2) Lennie won immunity this round. Did he need it?
3) How does Jury Management start to affect your decisions now?
4) Using the below scale, how safe do you feel at TC tonight?
5) Is the person you are voting for going to be the same person you were planning on voting for at the start of TC?
