Honestly I should be doing a better job of organizing my thoughts and being entertaining for the spectators.
So we are in Tribal Council mode and it's honestly none too soon. People have apparently been getting antsy and asking who people would vote for if it came down to a TC, so at this point it is nice that I can at least be sure the person I answer ends up actually being gone. Mewtwo has ceased to be the the super easy pushover vote that he was set to be, and Regigigas mentioned that Mewtwo was putting a better foot forward. He's no longer on everyone's mind.
What I have heard is that the vote is mostly between Buzzwole and Lugia. Specifically Buzzwole mentioned that he was neglecting PMs to Reggie, which is a weird thing to say, and also that he was interested in getting rid of Mewtwo, which has made Mesprit mad. I am really hoping that it actually does get put between those too, because I would like to not be on the radar after being gone and dealing with today's absolute stupidity.

Yay questions as well. This is exciting.
(1) Are you relieved to have lost, or did you want to 3-0 them?
I am honestly a bit relieved because this is something tangible that I get to use to feel out who's actually trustworthy and useful. I am hoping to use this chance to get closer to Mewtwo now that I know it's not going to put a target on my head to get close to him. Also Reggie has actually said that he is not getting on well with Buzzwole, which puts my fears of the two of them linking up at bay
(2) Are there any rumours of swaps or idols?
I have not heard any rumors of anything, though I have been AWOL longer than I would have liked.
(3) Is this a good and cohesive group, or are some failing to pull their weight?
I heard tell that Lugia was weaker on the challenge front, and I have hoping to drop that rumor to someone at some point so that it can flourish and be a stepping stone going forward. In the meantime, though, I am super ambivalent towards the idea of someone not pulling their weight.

Jasmine come back I miss you. I need to bounce an idea off of you. I'm considering mentioning to Lugia in passing that I heard their name briefly come up, but immediately get quashed by talk of Buzzwo.e

Heya.
Which of them are you trying to get out? It can be dangerous to leave someone in the game knowing they were in danger.
I feel a tribe swap is somewhat likely after this vote, if that impacts your thoughts.

Hmm. I guess it's not as necessary. I was expecting some pushback on buzzwole, but I haven't seen that yet.

I guess what do you think would be the pros and cons of saying something vs. not? If you clue someone in that they were a possible boot but they're staying, I think the only way that probably benefits you is if they feel like you were personally responsible for saving them. Otherwise, you've likely created someone who just wants to flip and help the mystics vote you out on the next tribe, if you get stuck with that person.

I think the pro would mostly be to make him feel uncomfortable with other people, but I don't think there's a good way for me to frame it like me shifting the focus. It's a super easy lie to unravel and makes me look like I'm talking about things in bad faith, especially if you think there's going to be some tribe shuffling soon.
Of course right now I'm nervous because the only name being thrown around is Buzzwole, so it's either a lock or I'm the blindside target for being AWOL on my trip. I'm spooked.

I think now (3 tribes of 5) or next round (2 tribes of 7) are the most likely times, but they may surprise us.
Sometimes it's that easy, though Buzzwole should at least be pushing something else. At this point, chances are paranoia would only make it seem like you don't trust people? You have some sorta allies you feel good with, right? If no one is being oddly quiet with you, I feel at least OK about it. It's hard to ever feel better than just OK!

Actually, forget I said this part. That's a bad mindset and I shouldn't instill it in our youth. If you're worried then fight your ass off.

Looking like not freaking Lugia out may have been a good decision

yeah this does look a little suboptimal but you gotta roll with it
maybe it's time to make new friends

so these new mystic members probably will be looking to get with anyone who doesn't want to boot them immediately. they may well gravitate to anyone who seems likely to be that.
you have options here. you can stick with victini and lugia and just try to delete the new people, or you can be open to them. you are probably more social than lugia/victini i think, which should give you a leg up if you want to connect with poipole/cobalion.
i would encourage you not to play up your connections with any former valor members. if you tell them "omg i miss tapu lele so much" etc they're gonna feel like they're not who you're looking to work with. make them feel important and welcome!

it's possible p&c will try to take one of the others under their wing as a goat instead and hunt down a threat. so you may also need to work on making v&L feel safe and comfortable in a non complicated majority
tbh small tribes are hard

Yeah I have been chatting with people. Lugia and Victini were two of my more lukewarm friends on Valor pt 1, but that's fine. Apparently Cobalion and Poipole originally weren't super close on Mystic, so I have been making sure to make the two of them feel super welcome. Ideally we dodge Tribal Council, but if not, maybe this is another good chance for Lugia to go. I am having a bit of a hard time maintaining a real connection.
Also this is making me feel a little bad. Am I the bad guy if I always have a vote target in mind? D:

Nah. You're just a realist.
It's better to have an idea than be caught with your pants down thinking everyone's your best friend.
FWIW, if they're telling you they weren't close on mystic and they're being very open about that fact, it's possible it's just a story they concocted. It's also possible it's true, but they'd probably say it either way.

So speaking of that, Poipole is asking for tips on how to engage with Lugia, and I honestly don't feel amazingly close with him or have any real advice. I probably don't want to say 'we haven't been super close, but here's some advice' right? I feel like disclosing that weakness could possibly come back to bite me?

On the other hand, I would love Poipole or Cobalion to be the one to come up with the idea to go after Lugia if we come to TCland.

Well, the good news is that probably means he's struggling to talk to lugia. I think your instinct (I am not a lugia whisperer but try this one thing we talked about) might be fine.

Just for fun: Do you think mesprit, volcanion and mewtwo will stick together or turn on each other?

If one of them goes, I bet it will be Volcanion. I believe Mesprit and Mewtwo are closer to each other than to him.
