Alright, Episode 3! Kind of disappointed Solgaleo got voted off last TC -- Ah, the me/Sol/Tapu/Hoopa alliance that never was! Otherwise, nothing new going on in the Valor Tribe -- just savoring our unity as a tribe as long as we can!

Looking forward to your thought process on how you think this is going to go/how you would prefer it to go etc. Also good luck  |

Appreciate the support, Wattson!
Right now me & Regi agree that Buzz would be the best vote out. I recently talked with Uxie and he also agrees that Buzz isn't too great of a PMer, so we already have 3 votes under our belt. Lugia messaged me saying that I'm definitely someone he'd want to protect along with Regi/Tapu, which is great, and right now I'm pitching a Buzz vote to him, so fingers crossed on that! I think either Tapu/Mesprit would be the person I'd approach next, though I've heard rumors that Mesprit has already been talking about getting Buzz out, so I think the vote's probably already set in stone! Even if this Buzz vote collapses somehow (?), I know there's like a least 3 people who would never vote me or my close allies, so whatever happens I find it highly unlikely I'd be going home this TC, so yay!

OK, looks like Volc and Lugia are good with voting Buzzwole too. Sweet -- should be an easy TC, then. I'll keep ya updated if I learn anything new 'round the grapevine.

So what do you think Buzzwole is doing this round?
Have you interacted with them at all?
Do you believe they could be pushing a vote onto you?
If not, who do you think they would want to vote for?
Has anybody directly spoken to Buzz this round about the vote? (I'm guessing this answer is very yes.)
It seems relatively simple, but I'm interested how you read Buzzwole and if you believe there's any possibility that they might be pushing a vote onto you.

I want to restate that I will be doing small things like this to make sure blind spots dont become a habit.
Not talking to someone who may be an "easy vote" is like extremely easy to do. It's largely a bad habit, so while everything you're saying does read completely fine, its largely just small cautionary stuff.
I'm way tired so if that came off weird then uh i'll be back again before the vote is up.
Just keep making sure you're keeping relationships solid with everyone else like it appears.
good shit.

Probably trying to vote out Mewtwo, but he hadn't explicitly told me who he's voting for yet.
No -- I have a question about that I'll ask later, actually.
99.99% no. It would take a hell of a lot of work for him to get me voted off, and he'd be much better off trying to go for someone easier like Mewtwo.
Mewtwo, most likely.
Nobody's told me directly, but I bet someone managed to spill the beans.
From messaging Mesprit I've learned that Buzzwole is fully aware that people aren't talking to him about the vote, so it seems likely he knows he's being voted out. If he's pushing a vote on anyone it'll be Mewtwo, maaaaybe Lugia or Volc, but I don't think it's going to be me, especially since a lot of people expressed a liking towards me and a want to protect me from a vote, so if he does plan on throwing my name out there it's pretty likely I'd catch wind of it.

You, lol.
But really, how do I properly respond to this?
"Oh, I haven't had much time to think about the vote, actually." -> Blatant lie, not-so-subtle way of saying "I'm voting you out, but I really don't want to tell you about it."
"I've sort of been thinking about voting Mewtwo... / I've heard Mewtwo's name being thrown out a lot..." -> Also a blatant lie, but more believable. If the tides do change then at least it'll be easier to make ammends, but what if he tells others I'm voting Mewtwo out and they start to grow distrust in me?
*nothing* -> "I'm voting you out and really really hoping nothing changes so I won't have to deal with any repercussions", pretty much.
Really, seems like a lose/lose/lose situation.

yeah talking to someone youre probably voting for is super awkward.
the safest route is possibly like asking THEM for ideas.
theoretically theyre the ones that need to be pushing any agenda. it's really weird that they aren't? it's not a wonderful look.
it's a lot easier to discuss stuff with people you're closer with since... well it's basically just doing what you've been doing with them without getting found out, or if you do then reassuring them.
with someone more distant I would ask them for ideas. the onus is really on them to try and get something done.
genuinely hear them out, but uh... I would be very against even insinuating you are going to go with that plan.

That's a good idea! I don't think I'd bother rn since it's an hour till deadline and everyone already locked their votes, but I'll be sure to keep it in mind for next time! From what I've heard from Tapu it sounds like Buzz is desperately PMing people trying to turn things around, but like I hadn't actually heard what exactly he's proposing, but I'm 99% it doesn't really matter now anyways.
