Time for another one of these!!
--------------------- Reepicheep - No question about this! Buzzy* - This depends entirely on how he interprets the vote count, but he says he's eternally grateful for me giving him a head's up so that's cool! Prince Edward - I really like him a lot, and considering he picked me last team I'd say he has a good feeling about me too! Nick Wilde - We haven't spoken much lately, but I'm hoping we're still on decent terms! Anne Boonchuy - She's someone I'd like to ally with eventually, but we'd have to meet up more before I can make up my mind on her. Sorsha - Wouldn't mind getting close to her, but sadly it seems like she might be voted out soon! <everyone else> Rapunzel - Idk where to put her even. She might even be the hinky vote on me for all I know! ---------------------
It's a weird feeling knowing my campaigning in my group chat actually managed to flip the vote! I don't know if Sphero going is great for my game! There's some things he saw in my Phase II chat with Darth that I'd rather he not spread around, so that's good at least! But I fear him going out will slowly further the trend towards getting bigger threats out, and I have quite a few Buzzy Bucks myself! All I gotta do is hope that no one sees that vote on me as an invitation to throw my name out, but I guess we'll see what happens!

Explanations for Questions (I want to vote out X, because...): 0 - They're a big social threat. 1 - They're a big challenge threat. 2 - They're a big jury threat. 3 - They're targeting you. 4 - They're targeting me. 5 - They're targeting one of our allies. 6 - They don't have a lot of allies / would be an "easy" vote. 7 - We have the votes to make it happen. 8 - They have a lot of money. 9 - It's what the consensus wants. Explanations for Responses (I can't vote out X, because...) 0 - They're an ally. 1 - I have to vote with my chat. 2 - We don't have the votes. 3 - My chat won't vote there. 4 - It would be a bad idea. 5 - They don't have a lot of money. 6 - They're not a big threat. 7 - ??? 8 - ??? 9 - ??? I remembered that money was a thing, and at some point we might want to take out players with a lot of money to free up those slots in the endgame, so I made a few adjustments to the explanations. Also, I took the liberty of creating some examples to hopefully clear things up a little! Telling you who my group is targeting: Me:I am a pig.
Translation: My group is targeting Hank Hill (10 % 30 -> 10). Asking if you want to target a certain player, with and without explanation: Me:I am a pig!
Translation: Do you want to target Hank Hill (10 % 30 -> 10)?
Me:I am a pig! I like rolling in mud.
Translation: Do you want to target Hank Hill (10 % 30 -> 10)? He's a big challenge threat. (21 % 10 -> 1). Your response to my above question, yes & no (with explanation): You:Why do you not draw your own sword, poltroon?
Translation: Yes. (44 % 3 -> 2)
You:I am a mouse. I will smite you!
Translation: No. (12 % 3 -> 0) They're not a big threat. (16 % 10 -> 6)

This was the only change I made to the code since the PM from the other page (you know, the one that's practically it's own essay!). To summarize, basically the changes allow me & Reepicheep to better convey our intentions in terms of who we're targeting and allows for some basic yes/no conversation. There's also a few things to better alert each other when we're in danger, so that's nice too! In other news, I'm glad me & Cheep managed to get third! I honestly didn't expect us to rank that high, so that's definitely a pleasant surprise! I only have two 1 on 1 chats this phase, the one I paid for with Edward, and one that Buzzy paid for with me, which I guess isn't too unexpected.

I've realized that I've told Buzzy in the last layoff thread that my team was the one who threw out his name, while also talking to the captain of said team. Uhhhhh I hope Buzzy kept that information to himself! Actually if he was going to spill it I'd rather he'd done it before now so I can address it with him right now, but otherwise I hope he doesn't spread it around, or at least it doesn't reach the team mates! Maybe it's not nearly as bad as I'm making it out to be.

I was thinking about my code while I was out and realized that there could be a conflict with regard to responses if either me or Cheep posted our group first and then asked a question -- it isn't clear whether you respond to the question first or post your group first. I didn't think it'd happen all that often, but it literally just happened now right after the gate! I feel a bit dumb for not catching that simple scenario earlier. I'll just post my group first and my response afterwards, and hope that Cheep can distinguish between the two!

So it seems like Winnie's name actually is getting thrown out now. And a lot of players are already in the loop, apparently? I mean, I'm not awfully opposed to it, but it's a bit strange how the votes keep changing all of the sudden!

I'm going to keep tracks of the things I'd like to respond to Reepicheep with, since I've realized my code doesn't really encompass a lot of scenarios at all!
"Maybe, but I haven't heard their name being thrown around." "Maybe, but I'm not sure if it's actually doable."
I think I'll just respond with "maybe" for now! Oh, and for anyone who wants to try to keep along and decipher our codes as well for some reason, the mod code for explanations has changed from % 10 to % 5, since there are only 5 explanations for each type now.

Honestly, neither of my 1 on 1s are that great. Buzzy isn't terribly active, and it's so hard to talk game with Edward. Like I'm getting that feeling again where he's just staying stuff to act like he's engaged when I'm hardly getting much from him at all. Edward has been pretty transparent with me though, and if we have each other's trust then I guess that's good enough for me.
Oh yeah, Edward also said that Buzzy's name was brought up by Reepicheep during the Round 3 layoff when he suspected the Olive Team of throwing out his name, which means that I more/less told on my own ally to Buzzy to gain his trust and both of them are seemingly OK with it, or don't quite realize what I did. I didn't really even know what I was doing tbh, but now that I think about it that was a bit shifty on my end.

K, guess I didn't get a vote chat this time. It was bound to happen eventually. I don't really care as long as the target stays on Alex/Rapunzel/Winnie/whoever and not on me. Part of me hoped I'd be in a chat with Winnie and then I can scream "PEOPLE ARE THROWING YOUR NAME OUT" to get another ally that way, but alas. Guess I'll just go with whatever Cheep/Edward/Buzzy tells me.

Jeez, looks like Cheep's landed himself in a 7 person chat! Assuming I interpreted it right, it's being lead by Pepe and includes Doof, Air Bud, himself, Dog with a Blog, and Anne (We never actually discussed this, but I always just assumed the first person listed was the leader). I believe they'll likely decide on Winnie unless something drastic changed. Air Bud might be the only obstacle, but perhaps they just shared our team chat and aren't that close to one another, so I'll see what comes out of that.

I'm wondering whether my connection with Reepicheep is gonna become too obvious because of the team chat. I kind of wanted to post my response in a different thread, but I think necroing a thread might be even worse. I was thinking of a remark to make fun of Mickey's lack of questions again but I couldn't think of anything good.

Also, from what I've heard in the shoutbox I'm fairly glad I paid up for that challenge! When the challenge was first announced I thought I'd just write a program to convert it automatically as long as I switch between the green and yellow codes fast enough, but then I read the fine print that said "n o o u t s i d e s o u r c e s" and I was like, welp, there goes my plan! And then my interest in it sort of dipped. I probably would've gotten more than 2 wrong given my terrible tendency of prioritizing speed over accuracy.

I feel like I might be one of the only people rankers here, lol, but thanks!
6: Johnny Carson - I've never watched the Tonight Show when he was on, so I don't have any opinion on him.
5: CS Lewis - Seriously? What makes this guy so important that I have to rank him twice? I mean sure, Reepicheep is my top ally this game and that should mean I should rank him higher by proxy, but I still haven't read Narnia and don't know him very well!
4: Fred Rogers - I've never watched Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which I'm sure is a major travesty on my end, but I heard he was a really nice guy so that's got to count for something!
3: John Legend - I didn't really expect him to be this high, but again it's mostly due to the fact that I don't know many non-pop celebrities at all! I think there was like one song I liked of his from his earlier days, but otherwise I don't remember liking a single song of his starting with "All of Me", unless it's just him being an extra or something, which is probably the only thing keeping him from being #1 I guess.
2: Michelle Obama - She seems like a nice person, and I remember watching her in a lot of commercials on Disney Channel telling you to use less water and stuff. She also gave us the "girl you have done it again" meme, which I guess counts for something as well!
1: Pocahontas - I don't know much about her history, but I do know that Disney botched it up and romanticized it. I feel pretty bad for her, and I'm sure she's been through more hardships than most of these people here, so I guess that's enough to make her #1 on this list!

It's also possible that I misinterpreted it and it was only the first five that were in the group and that they're pushing Dog with a Blog, but like why would they throw out yet another name?? In other news, apparently Buzzy & Edward are in a group together, which is not totally ideal as it doesn't allow me to see the bigger picture with regards to the vote, but if the two of them get closer then maybe we could form something between me/Cheep/Ed/Buzzy.

It's just a bit baffling how Edward & Buzzy are taking this long to decide on a vote, unless they just forgot about me or there's something they don't want to tell me!

So now Cheep sent out the code for Kristoff in the Songs thread, which just so happen to be heard by Buzzy & Zack, who both share a vote chat with Kristoff right now. This could potentially get messy. I was considering telling Cheep that Edward/Zack/Buzzy/Kristoff/Sorsha are in a vote chat (just realized I never listed all the names in the group before now), but we never discussed that so I don't think he'd interpret it correctly, and it's a pretty rare case anyhow. But really I don't think anything thinks too highly of Kristoff so it'll probably work out alright.

Neither Edward nor Buzzy had said anything since then, so I just stuck my vote on Kristoff for the time being. Not betting for team captain because I don't really see a point, and I need to save some money anyways.

Ohhhh, what! That's the second vote I flipped (I mean not really but let's just play pretend!) I dunno if me telling Ed I was voting for Kristoff got him to flip and prevent a tie, but I'd like to think so!

OK update turns out I just can't count! I'm pretty sure Edward didn't flip after all and it was just Buzzy's whole group that voted Winnie and Cheep's whole group plus me that voted Kristoff. Probably would've just been better off voting Winnie, lol.
