Looks like Suzy blabbed to Richie because she still considered him her top ally. I mean Oracle did the same with Duke last round but in this case Richie relayed the info, it became public, and everyone bailed on the vote.Or not?? Now people are saying it was Gustave. What the heck!
Like Richie has to be the spec favorite at this point haha. There is no way he isn’t.
I wouldn't really blame any of them for trying to take me out hereRichie throwing Margot a lifeline while she’s in mondo danger and she thinks it’s crap!
also RichieThe Tenenbaum sibs on top of the Eli Cash challenge! I love how thematically appropriate that was.
Oracle is kind of a sneaky sneak out here befriending everyone. Like you said way back at the beginning of the merge, Mr. Popular. But at least by now I hope people are seeing through it (except maybe Duke).
Yeah, that's kind of an unavoidable side effect of going on a win streak. But between you and me, I hope they let their guard down with you not being immune. We need to break up that Every Ivanhoe Except Richie alliance that picked up Herman last round and almost sniped Madame D.
cmon, really?
Time to put every person I know has been pushing my name on the spot and ask if they know who has been pushing my name
Now that I have a moment of not being a target I'm gonna take some time to investigate who has really been pushing my name. Anything you can share on that front? I'm sure you'd be someone they're trying to get on board for that.
How do you say everyone, without saying everyone?
Do we need to bring Fox back in?I haven't heard my name come up yet and I'm seriously worried that I'm not going to get any votes and that would be so disappointing!!
So.... Right now I'm trying to save Gustave. Is that a good idea? Maybe? I'm not sure. My hope is that if I can actually take out Royal, then I cut down numbers on the side of the game I'm least connected to. Sure, Royal and I have a 'pact' to keep the votes off each other, and Richie and I have talked about working together but... definitely do not feel as comfortable with them as I do with every single other person on the tribe. I think those two are still the most likely players to target me, even if M. Gustave went home this round.
Issue - there are four votes solidly on Gustave. Margot, Madame, Richie, Royal. And none have any chance to shift, I think. So at best we're going to a tie vote in a situation where all the people I'm okay with going out here are immune to rocks and I'm at risk.
Solution - I know Madame and Margot are solidly on Gustave, and will not voluntarily go to Royal. So, I've made my thought process clear - why I want Royal out - and I've pitched to them that they do their thing, they let me do my thing, I'll push a Royal vote, and I'll focus primarily on getting votes off Margot in order to do so. What player would say no to someone offering to push the vote away from you, even if you thought it was the minority vote? Of course Margot was 100% happy with this.
The plan is that if it ties, then I can leverage this to get them to flip - 'I kept you informed all the way, I helped you out in doing this, and I'm still 100% on your side going forward regardless of the outcome here'. I don't think someone would risk going to rocks when the people they're going to rocks against are working with them.
Do we need to bring Fox back in?I haven't heard my name come up yet and I'm seriously worried that I'm not going to get any votes and that would be so disappointing!!
Oracle makes the most sense narratively to get rocked since he's been angling for rocks the hardest.
Rocks is cool so I'm mostly pulling for it but also I don't want to be responsible for rng'ing someone out of the game!!!You ARE going to be doing it like a live twitter event right?
You can read bippy's great home theater posts which recap every round of the game!Or just read the last two episodes or so to get the current state of play absorbed! Then you can read the early stuff later if you want the full ride.
