Episode 3: First Blood

I love that I get to be your trainer. You're well versed in your confessional, but it's clear that you're someone who is willing to adjust by the winds of change and isn't set in your ways. That's the foundation for a great player. When players get defensive, it's because the plans they had are what they feel they need to hold onto. And if you're picking up on that from Lugia/Volcanus, then that sets you up really well once the game changes. Being so focused onto one name so early on in the boot order means that this is a player who may not have as many options as they realize. With challenges being varied and it being so early, any justification on votes based on challenge prowess could be a manufactured concept. Granted some people globally suck, but there's no way to predict every type of skill in challenges. I heard that your last game had unique challenges and a wide variety, that seems to usually be the case in MS these days.

I think at this point, I just want to bring back the idea that to take control of the game, you don't have to always control moves, but you need to control the people who make the moves. What do you think about that philosophy? Who do you think are the key movers and shakers for a potential upcoming tribal and how do you ensure that you still have a pathway to get their real thoughts when push comes to shove?

I still am extremely confused about the timing of everything. I love that you picked upon the super suspicious timing of Lugia. I think you are right to think that it is very much something to consider. When timing is that quick, it also means that the person that cued Lugia is worried about you too (for better or worse). But it also may mean that Lugia is either interpreting something and initiating something based of what someone (likely Volc) said, or Lugia was directed to check up on you by someone who misjudged your relationship with Lugia. Considering Lugia has many PMs with you, it could go either way.

I don't think it's bad that people are blood thirsty. It can be important to go to tribal prior to swaps to solidify alliances. However, the timing of everything with blood thirst is so suspect to me because of these statements:



How does Tapu go from being like this to suddenly wanting blood. How has Tapu judged everyone quickly enough especially just as the winds start changing? Do you think anyone else in the tribe shares my sentiment too?

Do you think others think that you might be tasting blood too?

Do you feel that Volcanion was setting up a trap for you by asking who the vote might be?

That's a lot of questions, do you get annoyed by my questions?

m8 i love you to death but there's not a chance in hell I'm letting you make it to final 3 😂😂😂

guess who is never getting PM'd again

no one knows lol. probably whatever he is told to do.

I wonder how he could possibly be useful to anyone other then being a convenient vote for whichever swapped tribe gets him.

ohhh now the PM's are coming in

Even if its unanimous, have you learned anything from anyone? When the pressure is on, information exchange is ripe for the taking.

you listed uxie twice

As long as Lugia doesn't bring a reason to try to flip the switch, it'll be great.

Lugia PM'd me saying he prefered mewtwo as a boot but didn't want to rock the boat.

Okay, so basically don't talk to buzz or he will say he heard stuff from you. Thanks for the heads up, Mespirit.
