Time to start organizing my thoughts, the game is starting.
Valor
==========
Lugia - Weakest link on the tribe. Bad socially and at challenges.
Buzzwole - Weakest socially, but good at challenges. Not a first boot.
Mespirit - Kind of negative for some reason.
Mewtwo - New ally who shows a lot of promise and room for improvement. I am trying to save this guy
Tapu - we actually just started talking about a really fun topic so thats nice
Uxie - Newbies top 3 alliance. Currently V/LA.
Victini - Newbies top 3 alliance, and main scheming buddy.
Volcanus - Backup alliance who seems to struggle socially with everyone but me. Can't click with Victini for the life of him.
==========
Legend:
Green - ally. darker = stronger
Blue - Friendly but not allied
Yellow - Scary / Threat
Pink - TC fodder / weak
==========
Comments/Updates:
Friendship ended with lugia, now Mewtwo is my best friend. I am proceeding cautiously trying to save him because hey a friend is a friend and he seems like he might be able to turn this around. Lugia on the other hand can just get dumpstered, and it's not a terribly hard sell.
But if push comes to shove and people won't budge on voting mewtwo, I will concede and vote for him. Ideally I can talk it over with victini, he will probably agree lugia is a better vote. After that Uxie should go along with it. Volcanus might be a hard sell because he literally thinks mewtwo is a nonfactor in this game last I checked. Not sure about mespirit/tapu, we're not thaat close. I would rather we win this challenge so mewtwo gets some time to make a good impression on people and show his cleaned up self, then lugia will look really ugly in comparison.
We will see what happens. Lemon pancakes might be what saves mewtwo's life here.

Trust order:
Victini >= Uxie > Mewtwo (seems like a changed man) > Volc > Mespirit >= Tapu > Buzz > Lugia
Most dangerous to turn on me:
Mewtwo because I've given him the most content probably so far. If he wanted he could suicide bomb himself into me, but I feel like he's a new man.
Victini might have connections with tapu and mespirit that I don't know about. But I trust him when he says he's bonded the most with me. At the time he said that, mespirit/tapu were low activity so I believe him. Day 2 dream boys

Very good posts. Very informative. I love this thread. It's a complete chapter in a story with villains, heroes, arcs, and a beautiful and apt title.
So now that things seem to be different. I'm going to go back to a previous question:
So what would you like the narrative to be regarding your challenge? How would you like it to be framed?
Did you already begin with the "mewtwo is bad" narrative and if so, what are your plans for that. If not, then how do you frame the challenge?
P.S. Also I asked that question originally to see what caution/restraint you would put into the answer - especially if throwing someone under the bus would cause others to create a specific image of you.

I didn't begin with the mewtwo is bad narrative. I've just been saying "cant talk about challenge yet but GL guys".
So basically the idea is to draw heat away from mewtwo.
2-1 win: lol he puts lemons on his pancakes what a wacky guy go be his friend
2-1 loss: sorry guys my bad im not vry good at codenames mewtwo is good spymaster valueable asset to this team unlike someone *cough* lugia *cough*

These episode titles about food reminds me of the show "Please Like Me". It's Australian and I like watching Australian programmes, enough that I could probably fake being somewhat Australian. I know enough about British pop culture that I was able to fake being British in my game.
Enough about me.
Glad you won! How will you ensure that Mewtwo sticks with you now that he's growing up? Now that you've fathered his social game, how do you keep him from being the petulant adolescent who beings to resent his dad?

Mewtwo is a very eager guy. I can already see him trying to get all the information he can out of me. Oh man what have I done.
Basically I want him to get it out of people's heads that he is the easy boot, then snatch him up with some more info on people (hes a sucker for information) and try to get us as fun scheming buddies.
Which would mean I am primary scheming buddies with both victini and mewtwo.

Even though there isn't a vote, it feels like there is. People are getting antsy. Bloodthirsty even. At least 3 people messaged me today saying they wanted to go to a vote. Tapu, volcano, and victini. Interestingly tapu isn't allied with me so I asked her in a smug anime girl tone ~ufufu ~ who do you want to vote off then~? ~~~ Mewtwo is going to be initiated as a full fleged member of the mafia tonight. I asked around, and Victini said he actually said mewtwo might be a viable option to work with in the future, so I'm going to help collaborate with mewtwo tonight to figure out who is close with who, and later might add him to the Newbies Top 3 after consulting uxie after he gets back. In other news I think I might have uncovered a conflict of interests.Victini asked me if I talked with the other tribe. I said we just meme'd for a bit about pancakes and then left. (truth) Victini said he actually talked with the other tribe and got the scoop on the vote. Ah man, we talked a lot, literally the whole time the forum was left open. Solgaleo and Hoopa gave me and Tapu the full scoop about how their TC went down. Basically there were a few early wagons on Deox and Arti for being low posters, but they put a lot of work into the challenges and started PM'ing people more so they eventually flew under the radar. You know how Jirachi basically just talked in rhymes in the General Discussion? Apparently he did that literally all the time, and it really started getting on people's nerves, so there was a lot of support getting him out. The only person really opposed to it was Meltan, who tried to start a counter-wagon on Sol, but no one bought it so they all ended up just voting Jirachi out. Apparently there's not much in the way of alliances over on the Mystic tribe, so they have no idea what's going to happen during this upcoming TC. It was a really fascinating convo overall. Then, I relayed this information to Volcanus, except I claimed I got it from my own conversation with them. Volcanus asked me who the vote might be. Probably lugia or buzz. Mewtwo started talking to me after the challenge and he sounded exactly like a normal person and I was like "who are you and what have you done with mewtwo??" Caught me totally off guard. Apparently I'm not the only one he started talking to either. I heard others give a similar reaction. Has he spoke with you? Thoughts on the first boot? Mewtwo started to get normal apparently. He initially freaked us out when he offered me and Uzie F3 alliance out of nowhere. Buzz is probably the boot her.e That is a HARD silent nope on lugia. Which is pretty damn sketchy. Then lugia double posts in my PM chain which has been dead for ~24 hours, with this: How did the meeting with the other tribesmen go? Which makes me damn suspicious that volcanus is allied with lugia and the two of them are collaborating. Trying to see if I'm going to tell one of them more then the other or something? I mean it's pretty DAMN late to ask "how was your meeting with the other guys?" out of nowhere, if you cared you would have asked like a day ago. Preeeety suspicious there. I wonder if there's some volc - lugia - (mespirit, tapu?) thing going on. Mespirit seems very unlikely. Tapu seems possible. Buzz is out of the picture. I would not be surprised if volc and lugia were allied. Volc struggles socially, and lugia just spams one liners. He could easily misinterpret that as quality social interaction and think that they are getting along. Espescially considering this was his impression of him - nice chap was a lot more then he had to say about most other people. Anyways, suspicious activity identified. Suggested course of action: be truthful with lugia as to what I "was told" and play it cool. |

Sent to volc: Any reason you pick lugia over buzz? Just curious as to what the reasoning is since I haven't really heard a convincing argument for one or the other yet. Cool status: played Translation: Just admit you're allied so I can trust you, coward. |

It's more to "at least Lugia can still engage to me". My communication with Buzzhole has been dropped dead. I always have to be the one who started it. It's annoying that mewtwo is now starting to talk ._. It would have been an easy boot since mewtwo is shit at challenge XD Case closed. |

Any coincidence between the people who messaged you about wanting to have been in a vote instead?
Do you think any of them feel threatened by recent developments?

Tapu concerns me a bit, no idea what shes up to. won't give me a name either.
Volc and lugia are 100% threatened by the rise of mewtwo

I hope he dropped the eraser and made the mic drop noise.
Is this a familiar position for you to be in? Just checking to see if your paranoia is starting or not.

Be careful who you make fun of in high school they might just become your secret ride or die #1 ally It’ll definitely be a great investment I have an idea on something if you’d like to try, privately we work super close together and tell each other everything but publicly we’re not as close, so don’t tell anyone that we have such a close bond, just simply that we like each other and we suggest other names to people This way if someone later in the game attempts a blindside against one of us, it’s likely that the other one of us will find out...simple policy of a blindside in games is that you never tell the closest ally of the player you’re trying to blindside As for my list Buzz: literally had 5 messages with him and all of which were at the start and simply saying hi, how are you Uxie: most of our chats had been about how the game is quite scary at the opening and we seemed to get on really well talking about board games and stuff, interestingly (and I don’t want to cause anything) but when I asked them about who they’re getting on with they mentioned yourself and mesprit, nothing about victini, in fact they mentioned mesprit twice Lugia: similar to Buzz, like barely any conversation, maybe a little more than with Buzz but not much past that Mesprit: most of our convo has been about bitching about the TimeZones haha, they said that they’re closest to Tapu and Volc, I said that I was closest to yourself and Uxie and suggested an alliance of that, I quite regret saying that especially after what you’ve said, like I worry I might’ve jumped to quick or something, idk my trainer suggested I try to make an alliance with people I’m getting on with and yeah I suggested that Victini: yeah we’ve just been bonding over survivor, haven’t talked game with them yet and I think I might not yet, I think I’ll keep bonding with them and see where that takes me, idk, what’s your thoughts on that? I don’t know if it’s wise for me to try to talk game yet with them following the whole thing with Uxie (who I assume told Victini about the final 3 thing) Volc: quite like the kid, we were talking last night about studying and so I think that’s where he started to like me a bit more, I haven’t really talked game with him yet but he’s someone I could probably work with going forward, might be on the harsh side of things but if I keep up a good relationship with Volc but we vote off Lugia then that would kind leave Volc with us if he doesn’t have anyone else, gives us a stronger relationship and keeps the easy first boot....what do you think of that? Tapu: So I’m not 100% sure where I stand with Tapu, we were having quite a good conversation about theatre and stuff like that, I then proposed to them about us 2 being aligned and their response was basically that they have loads of other tight alliances but then said that they wouldn’t want me gone either, so I found that strange but since the challenge we’ve been talking about opening our lemon pancake cafe so things are going good Having a secret #1 ally can be lethally effective. I trust you 100% and I'm down. Tapu scares me. Can you be more specific about what she said at all? Did she literally say she has multiple tight alliances?? The worst part is that I totally believe it too because she totally ghosted me early game, probably in favor of the people she is aligned with. Sucks that she won't let you get close to her, otherwise we'd have the ultimate playing both sides alliance going right now. Kinda worried I screwed up by waiting too long to ask Uxie to ally and he might already be tight with mespirit + Tapu right now, but thats just paranoia speaking. Does tapu have a majority alliance? I don't think so. If we assume she has mespirit, uxie(paranoid worst case scenario), volc, and lugia, that's five, but lugia is a stretch because she probably has higher standards then a one-line PM spammer, and uxie is iffy so I kind of doubt that. So if we assume that a majority alliance that we don't know about must NOT contain: Victini, Mewtwo, Reggie, Buzz, and Lugia, then there is no majority alliance on this tribe. Mespirit being closest to volc really throws me for a loop, I literally have no idea if she is telling the truth or not but I could potentially believe it. Victini is optimistic about you. Keep bonding and once you're close enough maybe ask to ally. I could always use a second eye on that guy. Volc claims to me that he doesn't have many friends and is looking for more. I don't know what to believe, since mespirit says she's close to volc? That's a huge blind spot for me. Ideally to fix our blindspot we would have you ally with mespirit but uhhh not sure if thats possible lmao. its ok can you believe I was shitting on this guy 48h ago? yeah me neither The fact that tapu messaged me about being excited for a vote while also not being allied with me while also claiming to have very tight alliances is pretty fucked up. Volc/lugia threatens me if and only if they have good connections to and tapu, AND uxie is playing double agent with them, AND mespirit/uxie can't be convinced to vote off lugia over buzz. I feel like if I keep the conversation at a low level and don't reveal my true colors of the conspiracy nut that I am, I can just say lugia is useless in challenges, buzz isn't, they're both social trash, therefore buzz > lugia, ignore what tapu is saying, she is putting fluoride in the water and vaccinating you with mercury. Hopefully the pinks would just go with the consensus of the tribe (read: whoever is pushing the hardest in a subtle way) and not want to divide things up. I don't know whether if this is a familiar position for me to be in. If I am in no real danger, then yes, I am just going crazy in a controlled environment which is a normal healthy thing for a young man my age and I've done it a thousand times before. If I am actually in some real danger and all my paranoid worlds are true, well shit, I've never actually been right about something before, I wouldn't know what to do. LMAO |
