Don't know what the thread title has to do with anything, it just popped into my head for some reason! But OK, time for an updated relationship chart!
---------------------- Reepicheep - He's a noble little mouse. We have our own little code and things are going pretty well! I don't see any of us turning on each other anytime soon, if ever. Nick Wilde - Don't have much to say about him, but we've been around each other enough times that I don't see us working against each other. Prince Edward - He's fine, and an ally of Reepicheep's too, so that's cool. Darth Maul - We chatted once, but he's fine enough. Can't say for certain how close we are until we meet a few more times, I suppose! <everyone else> Rapunzel - OK fine, maybe she shouldn't be bottom-bottom considering she apparently likes me somewhat. But if she keeps making vote chats like the last one, then she'd be more of a thorn in the side than an ally, and it's more likely than not she'd be voted out within the next few layoffs. ----------------------
I was hoping the Navy Team from the last team challenge would bring me a few new allies, but I guess they weren't a bunch of chatter bugs oddly enough! I'm only truly loyal to Reepicheep atm, and also Nick and Edward to an extent. I want to wring in a few more allies for sure, and it'd also be nice to solidify the bonds of players I'm already somewhat close to, like Prince Edward or Darth Maul.

I really wish I knew how well I ranked on these elimination challenges. I'm really curious about how well I fared!

Hmm... If I were team captain, who would I want on my team? Reepicheep, obviously, then probably Nick Wilde, and then maybe Edward? I mean that's basically just my first Phase II group, lol. Maybe swap Nick out for someone? But who? Honestly I don't really see the draw to applying for team captain. Sure, I get the players I want together, but that means spending money, and I feel I'm going to be Paying Up on these challenges more and more. The thing is that I'll have to get an alliance together one of these days -- it just probably won't be best if everyone can see my picks! So I don't think I'm betting for captain, but I'll think on it a little.

I didn't get an additional chat, so it looks like I'm going to have to mooch off of someone else's vote. Yeesh, things aren't looking too good for you, buddy! Pixar Lamp is saying that Maul's name is being tossed around, basically confirming that the 4 Cyan encryptors did in fact discuss voting them off in their vote chat. I don't know if it's too late to save him... Would telling him beforehand really have been that much of a risk? Although that would've likely brought up the question of "how the heck did Pua even get this info!?", or maybe it wouldn't have and I'm just being paranoid? Who knows what Sphero could've told others about the interaction... Maybe it was for the best that I kept my cards close to my chest. Losing Darth Maul is not ideal, but I can probably make do. I don't know how much work I'm willing to put in to try and flip the vote, especially if Reepicheep is adamant on getting rid of him.

My greatest thanks to you all for the congratulation. I think that when one is ready to face all evils, one gains an immense strength that can overcome all evils. I hope you are able to dig deep, find yourself and extract this strength someday. 22, 17, 20. That's himself, Prince Edward, and Queen of Hearts. This must've been his Phase II chat, since groups of size 3 are impossible in Phase 3. So does that mean he wasn't picked for a vote chat, or he just hasn't posted the code for it yet? I mean I guess if I wait long enough I'll find out the answer to that! But he's in a group nonetheless, so that's cool.

1) I do not wish to cast this vote, but as I must, it will be to strike down the forces of evil. 2) I believe that many believe that to do so would seem cowardly, although I myself am not against the concept; if you fear that a shadowy conspiracy will prevent you from achieving your goal, there is no shame in spending money to halt it. 3) It is evident that some players have figured out ways to communicate effectively despite the obstacle you attempt to throw at them, Mouse of Shadow. 4) I shall never fear either, a true mouse faces all advertisity with much courage. I had a bit of trouble deciphering this one since apparently it also includes the number. I still might be wrong (or maybe he just isn't communicating in code, idk) but I got a group of him, Buzzy, Yzma, and Zack and Cody, which... is essentially the team of Olive encryptors, just substituting Reepicheep for Nick. Sounds like Yzma doesn't like branching out of her comfort zone.

Ugggh, Reepicheep's groups are voting out Maul. Is it even worth it to try to flip the vote at this point? I just told Darth Maul his name's being thrown out, but he wasn't chosen for a vote chat so he can't do anything privately! I feel if I emphasize that he's mostly going home due to his challenge performance that'll get Sphero freaked out and try to change the target, maybe? I could potentially flip my vote chat, but I'm absolutely not willing to blindside Reepicheep. The thing is I can't really think of a good argument for voting Rapunzel other than she's bad for my game, or at least worse than Darth Maul. Part of me regrets not telling him last phase, but it'll be incredibly suspicious as to where I got this info from if like Sphero spills what I said to him, so I dunno. Playing dumb might've been for the best, and the longer I can stay under the radar the better.

OK wait, is Buzzy actually voting out the player with the second highest Buzzy Buck$? That's hilarious.

Wait, hold up. What if I could get Darth Maul to publicly spend his Buzzy Buck$ to get Buzzy to vote Rapunzel? I have no idea what they're used for, but if there's any better time to use them it sure is right now! Would that actually change the trajectory that Reepicheep's group is heading, though? At the very least it could be used to expose Buzzy's game or at least make things fairly uncomfortable for him, and given I hardly have any Buzzy Buck$ at all I'd consider that a win!

I actually kind of hate my own code, lol. I think it's pretty slick, but dang is it a lot harder to write in than I was expecting!

So Darth's pitch in the public thread is that challenge performance isn't as important as it seems. The problem is that he doesn't give anyone any reason as to why they should vote Rapunzel instead. Like, his post is basically exclaiming "I know I'm the vote", so why not go all in and try to present a case for voting out Rapunzel instead of giving fairly vague reasons to keep him instead?

Eh, I'd rather flex my actual money. If the problem is me being a threat, then the best solution to that would be to stop being a threat. Also, I don't really have anything against Rapunzel, I just thought she was the most likely to be voted. If I actually had a better target in mind this would be easier. If nothing changes, I might just vote Buzzy out of spite. Because seriously this is all his fault. Obviously not going to if my vote could possibly mean something, but eh. But whyyy? What's the point of keeping money you're not going to use? If you hate Buzzy so much then why don't you force him to vote your way? You'd think it'd be easy to convince players to cause a public charade when they're already one foot out the door, but apparently not!

OK, never mind. Looks like Darth Maul's deciding to auction off his actual money instead. Seems like I misread his statement, lol. That works too!

Would I be tempted by $100? Mmm, maybe! But it'll probably help if the target was shifted away from Rapunzel. But then who would be the replacement, exactly? Hmm...

Skimming through the player base, I only vaguely remember Dr. Doofenshmirtz, but looking through the Cash Grab challenges I don't think Anne would be OK with that! Sorsha could be a possible target but she's actually in my PM group and since she's closeish with Reepicheep that wouldn't be great for my game! I don't remember Kristoff at all really, so maybe he's a decent alternative? Maybe it is best to just stick to Rapunzel and hope the money's a big enough draw? I dunno.

Now that I think about it, $100 isn't worth that much at all, but it's certainly more than Rapunzel's offering! And if he falls flat on his promise then he'd just be voted out the next round. I mean really -- not many players have strong bonds with either, and Darth is correct about how there likely won't be that many flash challenges, so why not vote out Rapunzel over him?

I mean I was kind of waiting for someone in my vote chat to react, but since they didn't I don't know if I want to bring it up. It would be a bit awkward to be the first one to suggest flipping the vote when I was the one who probed Darth to plea his case publicly in the first place, and if I stick out my neck for him anymore it'll probably fall off. Unless someone wants a spur of the moment flip it probably won't be wise to push it. Darth's pitch probably wasn't as good as I initially thought, it seemed. I had to get some sort of updated message from Reepicheep if there was even a chance of it working, but I think he might've been waiting for me most likely. I probably already did a bit too much already, so hopefully it doesn't come around to haunt me!

I love how my voting buddies are posting in the Favorite Foods thread and completely ignoring the vote chat!

Welp, seems like everyone in my chat's completely avoiding Darth's pitch, lol. Also Anne wants to buy a team for all 4 of us, which is nice! I'm not opposed to that at all -- Anne and Sorsha a both pretty cool! Lamp's nice as well but I feel he's already well connected with a lot of peeps, so he might not be the best ally!

Lol, what the hell is up with this vote count? I have no idea how Nick and Hank became targets! Didn't really expect Sorsha to get more votes than Rapunzel either. I like how the votes on Sorsha are getting exponentially greater -- guess we should expect 8 votes on her next layoff!
