Well, one good thing about this "first post being the header" thing is that you always see it no matter what page you're on, so I'm going to use this space to give you a basic grasp of where my head's out. First things first, let's react to the team I've been placed in!
Nick Wilde - Cool beans. We've been together in a few groups. Megara - Aah, the social butterfly of the game! I'm pretty sure this resembles the actual order he listed his picks in, if not pretty close! I'm not surprised to see her on top given they had a few quippy interactions in the social thread. Pua - By far the smartest, funniest, cutest player in this group! I'm not surprised that Nick chose me given we've shared the first two chats together. Queen of Hearts - Another social butterfly (though not nearly as spammy as Megara!). Probably a good ally to have too! Reepicheep - Aah I'm really glad Nick choose him! I like him a lot. WALL-E - Invisible on the public forums, so I'm assuming he was paired with Nick in the last group chat. (I feel WALL-E and Megara are also pretty close, so it's good he chose them together) Wreck-It-Ralph - He also has a bit of a social preference, but I'm assuming Nick also paired with him last chat, possibly?
I feel this group is a mixture of Nick's connections (me, Pua) and Megara's (mostly notably WALL-E), with some other social butterflies thrown in? I have no idea what WALL-E's like, but otherwise this looks like a pretty solid group! The only weak link, funnily enough, could be Nick himself, but I have a theory that him and Megara are close so I don't feel it should be too much of a problem! It's possible we could even form a strong alliance together with us 7. I mean, it'd kind of be the most obvious alliance ever and will sooner than later fizzle out, but hey, at least it's something! It's a bit peculiar how Prince Edward wasn't chosen, but he is a bit meh so I can understand it.
Now, for a basic relationship chart going into this episode!
------- Nick Wilde - I guess I have to put me first since he chose me, huh? I feel that's the most blunt form of loyalty, at least at this stage of the game! Reepicheep - I really like his roleplay, and he seems fairly loyal to me/Nick/Edward given he stuck by the code Edward made! Darth Maul - He clued me in on the Eeyore vote, which was nice of him, and he's a pretty cool chap himself! Prince Edward - He's fine. Nothing too much to say about him, really! But I don't see him turning against me right now. [everyone else] Rapunzel - Yeah, the vote count confirmed she's going home sooner than later. No need to get attached to her! -------
Obviously, this will be outdated by the end of the episode after I interact with my new team members, but this is where my head's at going into this episode. I'm in a pretty good position right now and flying under the radar, so hopefully I can keep it up!

I just finished writing the explanation to my code, actually. I tried keeping it as subtle as possible so others can't catch up on it, but it's a bit harder to read/write as a result, so if you want something simpler I can write a different code. So basically you take the number of characters in a sentence and take the remainder when you divide by 30, and that's the player we're talking about. To make it easier you can just write # of characters % 30 in Google or just the basic calculator on Windows (it doesn't work on the phone's calculator -- I tried). So for example if I wrote "Pua is the best pig ever!" you could just plop that in a word processor or count each character individually (minus the exclamation point, including spaces) and you'd get 24, and 24 % 30 just ends up being 24, and then that'd refer to Player 24 (Sphero). Another method is to just take the number of characters and minus it by 30 until you get a number that's 30 or less (EX: 93 chars would be 93 - 30 = 63 - 30 = 33 - 30 = 3). If it makes it easier we can just count letters or exclude any punctuation. And to let each other know we're writing in code, we could add two spaces at the very end of the post. (Like that) That way we won't get confused about whether or not we're speaking in code while being basically invisible to anyone reading our posts unless they highlighted it for some reason, and even then they likely wouldn't notice it. It could technically work as letters too if we use % 26 instead of 30 and have the number refer to the letter, but it's going to take a massive wall just to write a word in some cases, so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it or even feasible. I highly doubt anyone would be able to decipher the code, and we won't have to change the way we write our posts too much to fit in the structure as it can work with both really short and really long sentences. OK, so this is the code that me & Reepicheep are using, developed by yours truly! The only difference is at the end of the post, if we're speaking in code, we have to add a bunch of spaces and lines for it to register a space at the end, apparently.

And yes, this is the same code I was considering giving to Darth Maul. I feel it's much better in Reepicheep's paws, personally.

I meant to add three question marks instead of an emoji, but that perfectly sums up my emotions anyways!

I posted useful, thought-provoking questions in the layoff thread while simultaneously cluing Reepicheep in on how abysmal my vote chat is. How's that for killing two birds with one stone?
Also, it turns out using the code was a lot more hassle than I thought, especially with shorter sentences. I should probably prioritize making longer sentences instead. And it turns out adding all those spaces / new lines at the end really screwed up the formatting, so that's fantastic!

Hi everyone! I wanted a chance to chat with you two again, and I wanted to talk to stephen as well . I put 50$ up, so it doesn't seem like that big of a commitment. I'm curious what y'all have heard about this vote, and what we plan on doing about it (if anything). I've heard a whole lot of stephen. Like, why? Whhhhhyyy? How the heck do you expect us to flip the vote with this group?? Just leave out Stephen, invite literally anyone else, and we can make up a fake alliance and vote out Stephen. Maybe it would morph into something more than that! But this accomplishes absolutely nothing and keeps my connections paper thin! Arrrrrrg.

Well I appreciate the correspondence request, if what you're saying is accurate and up-to-date I'm not entirely sure what the purposed of speaking to persons such as myself before they are shown the proverbial door, as it were. GAAAAAAAAH!

You think that we will concede if you eliminate enough of our friends, Night Mouse? For each friend you martyr, this knight mouse (hah) will make you pay tenfold. 22 and 17. Himself and Prince Edward. Hmm... Wonder if Prince Edward chose him? Well, this is a bit inconvenient if the vote somehow flipped, because now I'll have less sources to rely on since they're both in the same group. This is still fine though since maybe the two of them can talk more about forming an alliance between us or something, I dunno.

Also like how many likes his post got considering it's intended to be a secret code, and it's a bit obvious from my perspective that he had to reword it once or twice.

Edna supposes in a world where she is bored and annoyed by everyone, you are the least objectionable.
Good luck, Edna is always watching.

Rapunzel: Do you know why I got three votes last phase?
Nick Wilde:Oh, because I was shit-talking you in my vote chat.
Lol. (OK, technically Nick just said a group chat, but I know it had to be his group chat b/c I was in both of his other groups. Not a great thing to admit either way!)
Stephen or whoever isn't being cooperative and me & Cheep both have codes to each other to vote him out, so yeah.

Makes sense. I think a lot of people are on that boat and feeling that way. Thanks for sticking up for me! Do you know why I got 3 votes on that first round to begin with? They could be from the group I was discussing our Round 1 cash grab with since Pua did more of the guesswork. I'm willing to be more forgiving now, though, primarily because you saw how fast he was and I was sure we'd still get at least top three either way even with the cake thing :P And yeah, Stephen, you need to defend yourself and convince us why someone else besides you should be voted off. "Woe is me" doesn't work here. I mean, just read this PM! It's so pompuous.

Lol, did Stephen just give up or something? He's not posting in my PM at all now.

So yeah, Stephen is most likely going home. I don't even know if he'd even vote for anyone, lol. The only interesting thing that'll arise from this is where the straggler votes land, if anywhere at all. I wouldn't be too surprised if this was a unanimous vote, given he received a lot of votes last round as well so players already knew he was a target.

Don't believe I've talked about this before, but I'm not going to bid for team captain. While the private chat is nice, I don't want to reveal my hand so soon. I'm half-terrified Rapunzel might bid high for it, and that could spell trouble for me if she's the next vote target. But I want to save up as much money as possible to prepare for the worst, and more likely than not I'd be OK with the team I get.

I guess a consensus vote on literally the most consensus votey player in this game was to hard to ask apparently, even when the group he was in all decided to vote him out! (Or at least I'm fairly sure we all did...) Four votes on Rapunzel was expected. Two votes on Sorsha was a little less so -- even though she received a vote last round, I thought it was just a fluke. The vote on Queen on Hearts was especially random -- maybe it came from Stephen himself? Eh, I don't see anyone targeting the Queen unless they're in the mood for ~big moves~.

Aug 24, 2019 9:34:43 GMT -7 Pua said: I'm surprised I don't come off as annoying, lol, but I really appreciate it! At what point did Edna not say you were annoying? Edna's confused. Maybe we should start therapy sessions?
