Well, since nobody else is responding to me, I suppose I can do these.
1. Yes, there are lines drawn, even if not everyone can see them. We should go from top to bottom in descending order.
The Special Victims Unit (Minus Lucifer)
Lucifer and Grouch (Their goats)
Jake (Their shield)
Rust (Their alternate vote)
Penelope
Scruff, the person they’re sending to the Jury without actually... bothering to reassure him. Yep, seems like good play to me.
2. Yes.
3. Not much beyond making Jake an even bigger and meatier shield as an easy vote later so they can put off trying to cut one another and get their desired ending.
4. Endangered.
5. Yes.
6. Hmm. I think ‘influence’ is reductive. How about I just tell you what my vote is going to be— the only member of the SVU + Grouch and Lucifer that doesn’t assume I’m as dumb as a box of rocks and the only one who stands to gain my jury vote right now— Judy. Easily the biggest threat left in the game since she’s at the top of everything (And doesn’t ask ‘What are you thinking’ like Hercule five hours before the vote when I hear my name has been going around for about half a day).
I think the smart thing to do is vote for Judy (Or at least one of the top four) in this tribal council or the next one— though I imagine here it’ll have the votes and you can have the safety of knowing you won’t be targeted if an idol comes out. As it stands now, the only way to stop them is to throw your hand in with Grouch, Lucifer, Penelope, Jake, and Rust (Minus whichever one you are) next round to hope to take one of them out, or vote for them here. Otherwise, you’ll be risking rocks if not outright eliminated or playing a very losing game.
Well, that’s all the time Scruff has. Perhaps you can learn the truth from those who most ferverently deny it. (Also, I have work and have little time to talk or defend myself even if people were messaging me. This is more fun anyways because it makes the most out of being screwed.)
