Alright, let's do this! I don't really have anything to say about anyone on my relationship chart that I haven't already said, so I'm just going to rank them. The only notable thing is there's a break between Naveen and Nick, as I'm not as close to Nick & Sorsha compared to everyone above them. I also replaced the threat list with a tier list, because tier lists are fun and sometimes a picture's worth a thousand words! ------------------------------ Reepicheep Prince EdwardBuzzyPrince NaveenNick WildeSorsha<everyone else>------------------------------- ---------------------- Well, now the image looks even more crooked then before, but I don't care enough to make it prettier. I bumped everyone in the Rich Chat up one tier (except Cheep obviously), but still I don't think it's that impressive to have stumbled into some elusive alliance just because you had a lot of money on you. I might be underestimating the princes, and I might be overestimating Megara as well, especially since Pixar was booted and the Rich Chat came into formation, but I'll keep them as is for the moment. A lot could change in these next couple of rounds! I want to push for Doof or Pepe either this round or next round. Ideally, I'd want to execute it in a way that Cheep can vote with the Rich Chat and pretend to be loyal while the rest of us vote Doof/Pepe out, but more likely than not Cheep would have to betray the Rich Chat, and once they catch wind of that he'll be a ripe target for sure, and it's possible I could find myself in the crosshairs as well for pushing out big names, so timing is especially key here!

We probably want to start this push soon before Nick gains too much traction then. sounds good! .... wait, how are we gonna do that Oh Ralph, you big doof! But like come on, there's even a freaking "Obligatory Code Thread" -- how does he not realize there's codes in the game??

By the codes that everyone in this game has with literally everyone mainly Thank you, Nerveen, lol, but honestly it probably would've been better not to tell him about it! He already coded Cheep and Buzzy about the vote. I'm gonna tell Cheep too as long as my group when I get less lazy!

Only the players whose bids were taken into account will have to pay the money they bid, but it won't be revealed who paid money, how much they bid, or who is in each group. I was wondering why the hell $50 wasn't deducted from last time and so I checked the rules and literally did not realize this was a rule until just now! I'm not the smartest pig in the pen!

OK, made a bid list real quick!! I think my plan is to get a small enough group so I can comfortable talk about the vote going forward, so I put 3/2 at top. Maybe I could've switched 2 and 3, but eh. The only advantage with a group of 5 would be to gather enough players to flip a vote, but since Sorsha's name has been floating around I don't see that happening, and I'm really tired of throwing out the same boring old safe names, which is what I'd have to resort to if I landed in a bigger group. I dunno if it was the right call or not, but eh I guess we'll see!

How I look like dragging people in my confessional when I'm just figuring out the rules halfway through the game:

hey, i've been missing you pig time, so i came up with some more questions just for you:
1. what's your favorite food to pig out on? 2. On a scale of 0 to getting sent to the slaughter, how safe do you feel this round? 3. what disney movie sow-prised you the most? 4. which player has played the sloppiest so far?

Yay, I love questions!!! 1.Mmm, I'd say Cheez-Its. Specifically White Cheddar Groves. I tried them out once like last year and now they're my go-to snack. M&Ms are also really easy to snack on. I love bagels too, but you can't really pig out on that. And sometimes when I go out I get like 20 chicken nuggets from Burger King. That's my guilty pleasure fast food, lol. 2.Probably 3. It's slightly concerning that Sorsha was putting my name out there in her team chat, but the Rich Chat still has a quite a bit of influence on the vote and Reepicheep would be steering the vote away from me at the very least, and I don't think Z&C wants me to go yet either by the looks of it. 3.I'd say Moana. I didn't really have any expectations going into it, but I was surprised by how immersed I was by it in it's like first half hour. I was also quite surprised that the cute adorable pig I've seen in all the trailers wasn't in the majority of the film . But at least I'm doing justice for him here to some extent! 4.Honestly, me, lol. There was time during the 3rd layoff where I half-heartedly tried to flip the vote to save Darth Maul, which only forced me to boot Sphero next round since I was worried he'd tattle on me, and it probably had something to do with Sorsha thinking I'm a threat and wanting to boot me. And then during the Kristoff boot I voted for Kristoff for no reason b/c I thought the vote would be close, which might've pissed off Buzzy and had the potential to tip people off about me and Cheep's code. And me only just realizing how bidding works throughout these two rounds isn't great gameplay either! And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Outside of me, I'd say Nick has played the second sloppiest from what I've seen. He's really blunt and not subtle at all when talking to people (like admitting to Rapunzel straight to her face he voted her and talking to Doof like he was going to vote him off last round), and I'm not awfully surprised to see him being targeted. I personally don't think Alex & Ralph have been playing great games either but they're more clueless than sloppy.

I never tried them, but the grooves tend to be pretty toasty on their own (or at least toastier than the regular White Cheddar), and that's good enough for me! You should watch Moana! It's pretty good. Yeah, I know I'm not playing that bad, but sometimes it's fun to poke fun at myself, haha, but I really appreciate the support! Also I love that clicking on the Elimination Thread ruined the spoiler for me. Poor Buzzy, and poor me too since he was one of my closer allies. On the bright side, I should have a decent shot at his jury vote, but I'd much rather have him still in the game . Good job out there, Buzzy. I'm going to miss you pig time!

I'm having second thoughts about ranking Nick so high. And holy moly did a lot of people pay for votes! I really don't see why Doof & Ralph felt the need to nullify votes considering everyone apparently came to a collective agreement just to ignore them, lol. Or at least Doof, anyhow. I can't remember whether or not I heard Queen's name.

*sigh* Has Nick really not been on for almost an entire day? I mean if worst comes to worst I'm happy enough with a 1 on 1 with Edward, lol. Also, upon discovering Buzzy was reading my confessional, I realized I misread the post in the elimination challenge and it turns out he was the last member of the pre-jury, not the first member of the jury. Hi, Buzzy! I'm sorry you were booted right before jury.

I've pitched targeting Pepe to Edward & Nick in my vote chat. Edward "guesses" he's OK with voting Pepe, but he also seems to recognize we need to take him out sooner or later and has only been in one chat with him (just last layoff, in fact), so I think he's on board! Hopefully Nick didn't flake out. Didn't bother to check time stamps (and I thought I was gonna get Buzzy anyway), but yeah how's that for another example of sloppy gameplay? :P

Yeah, I'm good with voting off Sorsha. Mickey messaged me on Discord to make sure I was still a thing :P OK, that's great, but I wrote a whole lot of walls you should probably read too! Yeah, I think I probably messed up choosing Nick, lol.

Edward's starting to trust Doof less after he apparently lied to him about voting for Alex, which is good for me! Also I just remembered that Nick made a post a long time ago saying he wouldn't go after anyone who liked him and uhhhhhh Pepe was one of those likes. But like if he can't even remember to log onto this game once a day then I don't think he'd remember that, lol. Also jeez I can't believe this games been going on for a month already and we've only just gotten to jury!

Cheep's in a 5 player chat with Air Bud, Alex, Queen and Ralph. With my chat of 3 that gives us enough votes to flip the vote, though a lot of the names we'd want to flip to so happen to be in that group. My chat (and by my chat I mean Edward) has been talking about changing the vote if at all possible since none of us (again just me & Edward) are particularly thrilled about voting Sorsha. I was gonna code him Sorsha but I'll see if he writes back a name first so I can leak it to my group.

Oh my god is Zack pushing Megara?? I mean ngl I was thinking about pushing her name out as well, but I'm definitely not opposed to voting out Zack if the vote's swinging that way! (This is through the parenthesis code through a post he made in the Obligatory Code Thread, btw)

Cheep just coded Megara & Nerveen to vote for Zack. Glad he interpreted my code correctly, at least! I regret choosing Nick since he's basically contributed nothing and he's the most likely to leak my plans about targeting Pepe, but this has been the most productive 1 on 1 I've had with Edward yet, so I'm happy with that.

I don't understand why Nick doesn't want to post anything in our vote chat. Even if he was conspiring against us or something he should at least pretend like he's contributing. I don't understand why you sign up for a game if you don't want to play the game. Yeah, that's a good point. I guess i just thought that if my name comes up, i want to know who is saying it. But just knowing who's being targeted is good enough. I'll try to think of a code too. Yeah, my vote is already on zack and i'm not planning on changing. I guess i just hadn't seen a zack code in a while and i had heard megara's name. Also, this has me slightly worried since I thought the vote on Zack was already a done deal, but I'm probably more in on things than Edward. Cheep said his group was voting for Zack and my group's voting for him too, so the only way this doesn't go through is if someone in either of our groups decide to jump ship, which would be pretty disappointing, especially since it would ruin my perfect voting streak! I'd actually be OK with Megara going but I wouldn't be OK with being left out of the majorty, and Zack would definitely not be happy either. If there's one good thing about Nick intruding on me & Edward's 1 on 1, it's that at least he's ensuring we have a majority on Zack provided no one flakes out. Or at least I hope he's voting with us!

Honestly I'd be pretty disappointed if the ONE time me & Cheep coordinate our groups to actually flip a vote it doesn't go through. I mean technically there were other times but they weren't to the scale of "this player's name literally just came up this phase, let's vote them out".

OK, I think I have something! We assign each player in the game a two letter code, the first letter corresponding to the first letter in the sentence, and the second letter the last latter in the sentence. For example, if we wanted to say that Pepe is being targeted, since his code is ID, we would say something like "I need to go to bed.", since the first letter of the sentence is "I" and the last letter of the sentence is "D". I researched a bit and I've found out that T, I, and A are the most common letters to start a sentence and E, T, D, and S are the most common letters to end a word (the last two have N since I ran out of room), so in theory it shouldn't be too hard to rewrite our posts to fit the code. One sentence means we're just saying who's being targeted, and two sentences means we're saying who's being targeted followed by who's targeting them. So for instance, if I wanted to say Pepe was being targeted by Ralph, I would say something like "I need to go to bed. I haven't had any sleep for a full moon.", since Pepe's code is "ID" and Ralph's code is "IN". Let me know if it's too confusing or limited! TE | Air Bud | TT | Alex Trebek | TD | Dog with a Blog | TS | Dr. Doof | IE | Megara | IT | Nick Wilde | ID | Pepe | IS | Prince Edward | AE | Prince Naveen | AT | Pua | AD | Queen of Hearts | AS | Reepicheep | TN | Sorsha | IN | Ralph |
Oh yeah, here's a new code for me & Edward! I mean technically Nick's in on it too but he's more likely to leak it than actually use it, lol. I was contemplating adding the function of telling each other what groups we're in, and I would 100% do that if it weren't for Nick. In the case it does leak, which I don't think is too likely tbh but it's definitely possible, I don't want to reveal too much info, and I don't know if Edward would be comfortable doing that either -- we're close, but definitely not at the same level as me & Cheep.

I was gonna say we replace whoever is voted out with Zack in case he survives, but that's probably an easier solution! Unless there's something else you guys wanted to talk about real quick, I guess this is goodbye for now! It's been great getting to chat with you two again and I'm really glad I put down the money for this! The hardest part of writing this post was remembering to replace "you" with "you guys" and "you two" to make it not seem like I'm only talking to Edward even though I clearly am. Honestly if Nick goes that wouldn't be too bad either since he's a terrible ally and it would relieve a lot of my paranoia!

*sigh* Why the hell did Nick choose me?? At least that was better than I thought he was going to do, which was LOL pick Pepe. I don't know why Edward picked Queen considering I told him she probably wouldn't be up for the Pepe vote. This is already going so wrong. I should've bet higher!!!
