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!

Fun Fact: Reepicheep also apparently bid on me for the team challenge as well, so that makes me feel a lot better!

OK I literally don't know half these people but uhhhh I'll give it a shot!
6: Johnny Depp - Eh, he's just an OK actor.
5: Kate Middleton - I don't follow the royal family that much, but I think she's alright?
4: James Dunn - Directed a bunch of movies I never watched, but I heard some of them are alright.
3: Anthony Russo - Also directed a bunch of movies I never watched, but one of those happened to be the highest grossing movie of all time, so that means he's objectively better than that Dunn guy!
2: Arnold Schwarzenegger - He's kind of funny I guess. Honestly don't care about him that much either, but I like him better than the four listed above!
1: Selena Gomez - I'm sure most of you are going to think I'm crazy for this! I watched Disney Channel a lot growing up, so I saw her a lot in "Wizard's of Waverly Place" and a couple of "Hannah Montana" episodes as her rival. I also like a bit of her music, especially some of her earlier works, and that's enough to put her above a bunch of other people I've barely heard about or could care less about.

Reepicheep sadly reminded me that he's likely not going to last till the end game since he's committed to always Putting Up, but he seems down for a me/him/Edward team so hopefully we can roll with that for as long as possible!

I'm a little bit confused about the challenge? Like, would it be allowed to say "The third box on the bottom row has Rapunzel in it", assuming the box was just a picture of Rapunzel, or would you have you refer to it indirectly like "The third box on the bottom row has a long-haired princess in it."? Or is the restriction just that you literally can't copy-paste the image to your partner and you're free to describe it in writing however you want?

Quickly first, here are the codes I'm aware of in circulation: I believe Pixar Lamp has been setting up codes in most chats he has been in; here is one between him, me, Prince Naveen, Megara: Wherever there are Parentheses, the first letters of the first two words inside the parentheses signal a code according to the followingPixar Lamp also has another one with Buzzy, Zack and Cody, and Yzma, and everyone else who isn't on the following list (I haven't checked exactly who) that I'm not supposed to know about but that they told me anyway: In the food thread, post a food starting with the following letter to signal that you're targeting that personWith me, Buzzy, Zack and Cody, and Yzma, here's another code: In the Songs thread, post a song starting with one of the following letters to signal that you're targeting that personthen finally, with me, Rapunzel, Dr Doof, Pixar Lamp, Wreck-it-ralph: In the Dad Joke thread, make a post starting with the following letter to signal that player - one sentence long for you hear their name, two sentences long for someone is properly targeting them, three sentences for you want to target themWowie, that's some spicy intel! I literally would have never figured some of these codes out.

Well, I tried decoding the food one first since I assumed that was the easiest, but I didn't get much out of it! I think Yzma was throwing out Cheep's name in the beginning, and I think I saw WALL-E's name thrown around a few times, but otherwise I don't think I saw anything too interesting. I thought Wreck's name might've been thrown out once or twice but I could just be misreading it. It gets a bit complicated once you throw in all those adjectives!

The Dad Joke one is also pretty confusing? It sounds like a lot of players were throwing out Yzma's name, unless the code doesn't actually start until the "punchline". But there's also a lot of Ts, which could be referring to Winnie but idk.

The songs one is the easiest to decipher by far, as long as you look at the very first character and not jump straight to the song title like I did! Cheep was obviously signaling for Alex, and Yzma was signaling for Sorsha. Zack quoted Yzma's post, which means he might've been targeting her too? And Buzzy just didn't post in it for whatever reason.
Actually, Yzma made another post just recently. If she's still using the code, that means she's targeting Winnie or Alex. I don't know how Winnie's name keeps cropping up apparently!

Now onto the parenthesis! Cheep was again signaling for Alex in the last layoff -- funny how not even his entire vote voted for him! I feel a lot of players was thinking the same as me -- that they didn't want to throw a vote on some random name and draw suspicion to any codes. Maybe I'm dumb but I can't really see it being used anywhere else! I even searched through each user's post history, yet still nothing!
So in conclusion, it seems like most of these codes are only used briefly and are surprisingly not that intuitive to decipher! I'm sure there's plenty more codes circling around, and while I likely won't be able to decipher them without a lot of example cases, it's a bit easier to decipher who's posting seems a bit suspicious. If a lot of them start posting in the same thread, chances are some of them are using a code together, and that in itself could be useful information!

I kind of already figured this back at the Darth Maul vote, but it's especially clear now that Pixar Lamp is quite a notable player and needs to be taken out sooner or later. Actually I was gonna discuss it with Cheep until he kind of said Pixar was an ally of his, so that deterred me a little. Still might bring it up with him eventually, though. I don't see a Lamp vote being viable right now, but eventually someone has to take a shot at him!

Case in point: Explosive things like bombs probably aren't things you want to associate with tacos This sounds like it was deliberately written to start with the letter E (otherwise, it would make more sense to cut out everything before "bombs"). Player 5 is Buzzy, though codes aren't probably that simplistic these days (and while I wouldn't be surprised to hear him bring it up, it would still be odd given he was just in a vote chat with him prior). Cheep's code says it could be Anne, though "explosive" isn't exactly a food. It's likely another code entirely, or just some really awkward wording on his part!

If you colour the text white, it does not show up on PC nor does it show up on mobile, only when you highlight the words: See?Jeez, look at this, guys! I think it's kind of a terrible idea, but boy does it look neat!

I was just scrolling through the favorite foods thread to see if anyone was foolish enough to actually write in white text (they weren't) but I came across an interesting discovery: the yellow filling ones are boston creme? This is the same spacing me & Cheep uses in our code. Not sure if it's just coincidence or what.

I don't think me & Cheep did all that bad! An hour seems long, but I've had a few challenges go that long before too, so I don't feel it's "dead last" bad. Reepicheep carried a lot of the challenge, but I did my fair share as well! That's probably the funnest team challenge I've played this game, if not the funnest overall.

OK, then!! 6: Patrick Mahomes - Apparently he's some football player? Never heard of him, and I couldn't care less about football. 5: Bobbie Flay - Also never heard of him before despite hearing about a couple other celebrity chefs, but at least he can cook so that's a plus in my eyes (so long as he doesn't cook pork ) 4: CS Lewis - I've never read Narnia, but he did create Reepicheep so that has to count for something! 3: Brie Larson - I didn't remember her name, but I remembered her face as soon as I looked her up. I've sadly not watched Captain Marvel, but I have watched Kong: Skull Island and I do remember that movie being pretty solid. 2: Meryl Streep - I've watched quite a few of her movies (I mean it's kind of impossible not too given how prevalent she is, but still!). She's a solid actor, and I actually know about her, unlike most of the others ranked lower. 1: Taylor Swift - I know some of you are groaning given this is the second time I've ranked a pop star first! But I don't care much at all about actors or athletes, whereas I've liked quite a few songs of hers in the past. In basically every era of hers she's released a song that I can appreciate or at least tolerate (except for her latest album, but I haven't heard much other than her singles so maybe there's a sparkling gem lurking inside!) so I don't feel comfortable ranking anyone else on this list above her.

Oh yeah, I meant to do this when the Cash Grab first started, but due to the challenge and stuff it kind of slipped from my mind. I'm going to judge all of the pairs to see how "valid" or impactful they are, and hopefully get a better glimpse of the game state as a whole! I'm listing these from what I believe to be weakest to strongest.
Pepé the King Prawn and Queen of Hearts - This is new to me? I've not seen them in the same group together, but I imagined they probably shared a few team or vote chats. Can't say for certain.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Prince Edward - Not quite sure how strong this pair is? I don't believe they've been in many group or team chats -- Dr. Doof didn't even choose him for the last vote chat. It's possible he could've been a lower-tiered choice for Doof, but in any case they're bonds are probably a bit stronger now thanks to their chat.
Rapunzel and Dog with a Blog - Well, Dog with a Blog choose Rapunzel for the last cash grab, so it doesn't surprise me that she choose him for this one! Probably a decent bond.
Yzma and Nick Wilde - She choose him to be an encryptor during the third Cash Grab, so it's not a surprise she choose him again for this one. They're probably a strong pair.
Buzzy and Zack & Cody - I mean I practically suggested this to Buzzy when I said Zack & Pepe said some nice things about him in my Phase II chat. They also shared team chats in the 3rd and 4th team grabs (the one where Reepicheep pulled most of the Olive encryptors aside minus Nick for two phases since he was sure they were throwing his name out, which was pretty funny). I'd say they're a solid pair as well.
Megara and Pixar Lamp - This is quite obviously a pair, like a "ride or die" type of pair. They've been together since the very first Cash Grab, and before this one Megara also choose him as an encryptor for the third Cash Grab.
Pua and Reepicheep - I don't see us ever turning on each other, so yeah, lol.
Now, for everyone that got thrown into the random groups... I'd say most of them are near the bottom of the totem pole. Winnie and Air Bud are the biggest surprises for me, so perhaps they're just no one's "first choice" at the moment, or someone got snagged before they got their first pick! On the other hand, not everyone in a "captained" group is at the top either (*cough* Rapunzel *cough*, and honestly maybe me as well!). But otherwise I'd say it's safe to throw out at least half of the names on the "uncaptained" teams, and I wonder how many players are thinking along the same lines as me.

(really glad I don't have to keep track of these codes) Yeah, the first message is still the group chat. It might be a bit confusing next phase since idk how many 1 on 1 chats we're going to have, if we want to list all of them. I guess next phase we can just list each player we have a chat in like with the vote chats. In case we don't have a vote chat / group chat in any phase for whatever reason, we can just give the code referring to ourselves to indicate that we're not in a group. I've been thinking about it a bit, and I feel we can combine "!" and "?" into just "!", since there's not many threads to actually ask questions. So, ending a sentence with a "." would just be describing where our group is voting (in Phase III) or what names we're hearing (in Phases I/II). Ending it with "!" would indicate who we're voting for (if we're in Phase III) or who we want to target (in Phases I/II) and would require a "response" from the other player, either in the same thread or elsewhere. That response would be in % 3, with 0 meaning no, 1 meaning maybe, and 2 meaning yes. Using "." with your respective code with alert you that your name is being thrown out (in Phase I/II) or that my group is voting you (in Phase III), and likewise for you, with "!" signifying more urgency and that you should probably pay to nullify votes on you. If there's no distinction between where you're voting and where your group is voting, or just want to communicate with as little hassle as possible, you can just end your sentence in "!", and the next message I write will be a response using the % 3 code above to make sure we're on the same page. It's virtually the same as how our ordinary code worked, except if we both agree on the same target then the second player to write will just have to use the % 3 code instead of the % 30 code, which would make it a bit easier to communicate. Now, for the final addition! After we write a question with "!", we could tack another sentence at the end using % 10 to give an explanation as to why. When can also add an explanation at the end of our response to explain why we can't vote out a certain person. I've written some sample explanations below, but if you feel there's something we need to add or won't really need then it's open to adjustments! 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 targeting you. 3 - They're targeting me. 4 - They're targeting one of our allies. 5 - They don't have a lot of allies / would be an "easy" vote. 6 - We have the votes to make it happen. 7 - ??? 8 - ??? 9 - ??? 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 - ??? 6 - ??? 7 - ??? 8 - ??? 9 - ??? I thought it'd be easier to think of explanations for responses, but apparently I was wrong! You can also tack on multiple explanations at the end if there's multiple reasons (like, if they're targeting both of us, you could signal 2 & 3). If we can't think of any other ways we'd need to communicated why we are voting someone or why we can't vote someone then I'll probably just trim the mod number down so the code will be more flexible to deal with. You don't have to add explanations if you don't want to, but at least the options there! Oh yeah, and don't forgot the two spaces and two lines at the end of our code, which is our signal that we're speaking in code. I was thinking we might wanna change that at some point, but I can't think of a good alternative right now. If anything's confusing then let me know, because sometimes I'm not the best at explaining things! What do you mean, Mickey? This isn't hard to follow at all!
