So Darth Maul's gone, which isn't exactly ideal, but I can make do. It feels like I don't have many core allies right now, which is a bit scary, but hopefully I'll snuggle my way into some sort of alliance!
------------------ Reepicheep - Obviously. There's no one I trust nearly as much as him. Nick Wilde - I think we're sort of good? I don't see him throwing my name out at least. Anne Boonchuy - She's a pretty cool camper! I'd like to get closer with her. Prince Edward - It feels like a century since I've last spoke with him, but hopefully he remembers me! Sorsha - She's really sweet -- basically Rapunzel with a better game sense. Though she might find herself out the door sooner than later at this rate... Rapunzel - I don't know where to place her, really! But I mean if she still likes me then maaaaybe she's fine enough? Would rather see her gone than anyone above, though! <everyone else> -------------------
So yeah, the random chat was a bit of a bust, lol. But at least I met some interesting peeps in the vote chat! I dunno if anything more will come of it, but at least I'm slowly broadening my connections! I have no idea what I want to do. I don't even have a solid vote target since apparently everyone lost interest in voting Rapunzel! All I can hope for is that I don't become a target and that none of my allies do either.

I assume Reepicheep's vote chat had the same team agreement that my team did (that apparently Anne didn't hold up on, lol). Actually now that I think of it it's probably more likely that Edward just bid more than Anne and got his picks in first. Don't know what to make of Dog with a Blog's picks since I don't know much about his game, though it's interesting that Rapunzel was chosen. And the randomized groups are, predictably, filled with a lot of less connected players. Like I said before, I literally forget sometimes that Alex is in this game. Dunno how Hank and Pepe are in group chats. Sphero wasn't that active in my last chat but he's still a bit surprising. Kristoff is expected, Nick is a bit surprising considering he seemed on top a few rounds ago, I guess Nareen's expected, and so is Wreck-It-Ralph to an extent. I'd say like half of those players are fairly safe names to throw out, but apparently people are starting to make ~big moves~ now so who knows what could happen! (Though tbf Darth Maul was only disguised as a "big move" -- he really wasn't that much more of a threat than Rapunzel!)

Also fun fact this marks my second time I've been on the Navy Team, which is fairly fitting seeing as Moana loves the ocean so much!

Huh, is there a Phase I decision this round?

I waited until there was closer to 24 hours left in the phase, since I didn't want people to see it at the start of the phase and then forget since there would be less urgency

Oh, OK!
The group chats probably not as useful as when the game first began, but like it's only 75 dollars so I might as well just buy it!

Holy cow, even moderating just that simple practice game took a lot out of me! I don't know how you mods manage to do it all!

Prince Edward: Hey, can you switch a card with me and I'll swap it back next turn?
Air Bud: Sure!
<next turn>
Air Bud: I'd like to trade this card with Pooh!
?????
I may have gotten my team into this mess, but at least I'm not the only one messing up!

I mean, the challenge certainly could've gone better, but we also could've done a whole lot worse! I'm just glad I can finally get ready for bed now, lol. Also I don't know if Air Bud actually messed up. I think that just be me being tired!

Aw, my team came in last. :(
Also, I'm kind of terrified of the challenge because I don't know a whole lot of Disney songs, but I'm not sure whether of not I'm going to Pay Up yet.
Also also, I was just in the middle of writing this grand plea to try to pitch Sphero but the deadline came too early! Grrr. My group's decided on Buzzy since apparently his name was being thrown out earlier, which I'm not exactly opposed to, but Reepicheep is close to him and I fear Sphero might want to throw me under the bus. Maybe that's just an irrational fear and this was for the best, though.

So my group has Nick (cool), Alex (bleh), Pepe (hmmm) and Zack & Cody (meh). Don't know if anything will come out of it, but I guess we'll see!

As always, I'm just thankful I'm not in last! Also that last group chat was a total bust -- we didn't end up talking about anything, really. I kind of wanted to bring up the vote but eeeeehhh. A part of me feels like I won't get chosen for a group, which is a little scary, but I might just place my vote for Buzzy or do whatever Reepicheep says, provided we're still doing the code! I'm a little anxious b/c we haven't been keeping up with each other lately, but hopefully we're still on good terms?

Oh yeah, Hank got eliminated. I mean I don't think I ever had a group chat with him, unless it was one of those massive ones.

And yeah, Buzzy's challenge thing turned out to be a sham, as expected. I'm kind of torn between getting a photo or a short story, lol. The picture sounds a bit funner tbh, but the story is worth more technically, but then again idk what topic I'd even choose!

??? Why the hell did Buzzy choose me for a vote chat, lol. Like even as a "last choice" sort of thing I'm sure there's better choices! And apparently he chose Kristoff too, which is also an interesting choice!

OK wait, I just realized that Buzzy has no likes!? I thought he'd have a few for sure given he put so much effort into those challenges! Also it'll be hilarious if me always pairing up with the player going home during the layoff becomes a trend, though I may just be out of the loop on this one!

Ohhhh, I just realized Buzzy probably picked the players that had the highest Buzzy Buck$. So if my theory is correct, then that means Sphero, Dog with a Blog, Reepicheep, and Air Bud either were captains of their own group or got chosen for a group themselves. I dunno if that's actually helpful information, but it's something!

Writing in my own code is a pain sometimes! I had to rewrite that last question in the Layoff thread so many times... Also, apparently Kris heard Sphero's name being tossed around, which is good b/c I was considering tossing out his name earlier in my group chat. Maybe it would've helped if I did...

Me: I'm thinking players are starting to look at your "Buzzy Buck$" as a scam...
Buzzy: What are you talking about? I'm whipping up the pictures right now!

I was thinking "why the hell did Pepe just follow me?", then I realized he did a Rapunzel and followed everyone left, lol.

Ooh, Reepicheep wrote back in code! Time to put my smart piggy glasses on and get to work! Right off the bat, it sounds like Cheep's found himself in a 6-person chat, which is quite impressive to say the least!

So Dr.Doofenshmirtz is the captain of Reepicheep's group. He chose Sphero (oops, that's one vote target down!), Pixar Lamp, Reepicheep.... Rapunzel (uh, second target down?) and Wreck-It-Ralph. It's going to be really interesting to see what vote this group comes up with!

They're voting Alex Trebek. That's not an unexpected vote at all, given how little of a presence he's made. But if this vote was literally just decided in this group, then I dunno if it's going to gain much traction! In theory I'd love to get my group on board with the Alex vote, but that would me just bringing up his name out of nowhere after we've just discussed Sphero/Rapunzel, and I already went on quite a bit how I'd want to be in the majority, so uhhh that's going to be awkward to bring up! And even if I do ~somehow~ manage to slyly get my group on board with Alex it's going to be really fishy when both of our groups coincidentally decide on the same target. I feel I probably have to tell Cheep my group's voting Sphero, and I probably have to vote him myself too so I don't look fishy to my group. I just wonder how Cheep is going to take it...

I'm writing to write a somewhat clever comeback to Cheep that's also in code -- it's ONE character too long! This literally always happen to me!
