YES. LUGIA WAS VOTED OUT. GOOD RIDDANCE.
This is good. However it probably means there was no idol played.
The title of this episode is Suicide King, because tapu and I intentionally threw the challenge to suicide bomb articuno. If you're reading this from the dead chat arti, there was literally nothing you could have done, except for maybe PM me more or get closer to me and tapu or something.

Two votes into a double TC, eh? Mods are ruthless.
But with those 2-2 situations I really worry valor is going to get a liitle bit slaughtered. Cobalion can idol his way out of a bad situation and murder one of the people I want to work with - victini/uxie are valuable to me.
This might be where tapu and I screw articuno by getting bad times on the challenge. I have ZERO faith in my stranded allies to survive lmao.

Sorry to derail a bit - I just got an 'idol clue opportunity' in my conf, I'll get the clue if I guess the winning team correctly do you have one of these also? If we have multiple we could guess different teams to increase our odds of getting it wtf is it with mods and giving pros free idols

Double tribals are usually an omen. You seem to have a plan for tribal. Godspeed you giant amongst pocket monsters.
Who is on your priority list to catch up with and get to know in next stage?

People to catch up with in priorities order:
- trade info with whoever survives out of victini/uxie - Ensure tapu connects with mespirit - Say hello to volc, ask him about his take on lugia going out, try to get him dpepndant on me/tapu - Flirt with poipole about moving diagonally - flirt with hoops about wheels - speak with cobalt and celebrity

Meltan just gave me the heads up that meltan deoxys reggie is now a F3 deal (but one step at a time ofc). Ok sounds good. Bring Meltan to f4/5 and over the edge he goes So now it's time to start talking strategy with deoxys and getting him to open up. Because he might even be someone worth taking to the end for me. I might even get an F3 going with victini and uxie later, who knows.

adfghjkl;' Reggie you're making me blush I'm definitely keen to give it a go though. I'm conserving a little bit of energy for some kinda merge because I know it's gonna be lightning quick and super intense trying to get everyone working together again. >_< hopefully it's highly rewarding, though. K..... I guess I'm down. ;n; it feels so unfair to poor Deo (he's been an absolute machine on the challenges) but like the long term game.....fml Tapu responding to me saying we should throw the challenge & that she should try to unite valor in the merge. Seems like I've gotten her all hyped up and ready to march to her doom.

to be level i'm a tiny bit nervous. i really haven't been up to scratch in this tribe. i'd love to see the old valor reunited & be able to hang out with volc and mesprit and uxie and everyone again but i'm also very slightly nervous that i'm seen as....not a threat necessarily but an unknown? if a lot of our old tribemates connected well with me maybe i'm not a risk worth having around in the final tribe? what do you think? i'm still happy with the plan to vote arti out (i really like the guy, but from a sheer numbers POV it makes sense. :/) Tapu is having second thoughts about killing herself for my personal gain. At least it tells me she's being totally honest with me.

Even if you haven't been "up to scratch" (not sure 100% what this means), Deoxys and Meltan I think are 100% seeing you as someone they want work with. And if nothing else, we've gotten really close too, when on valor we were kind of in an ambiguous place. Three solid allies out of three for a sub-par performance is pretty bloody good in my books. I'm not really sure what you mean by an unknown. You mean like, someone with unclear intentions? Someone sketchy? I mean if you've built up a rapport with our tribemates already, and you're being clear and transparent with them, there's no way they're going to see you as an unknown. I would expect them to be excited to see you again, just as you are excited to see them. Approach them the way you always have, and any concerns or anxieties they have about you will melt away, and I suspect yours will too. Paranoia management is a surprisingly big part of this game, eh? It's easier when you have someone to check your head with "just trust me bro" - mark zuckerburg

*BIG LOUD GROWL* IM A NEW SPEC TELL ME WHY I SHOULD ROOT FOR YOU! I thought only non-legendaries could be spectators. You ought to root for me because I'm winning. I keep a good confessional, posting relationship charts so you can tell what I am thinking and so I can keep tabs on everyone. I also adapt and overcome really well - mewtwo was my secret #1 ally, and I managed to not only survive losing him but also still turn out in a great place. I'm hiding behind Tapu and Meltan, my #1 ally(plural) who are going to go out there in merge and push an agenda that works in my best interests. If it fails they take the heat, if it succeeds I reap the rewards and push them off a cliff later. I've got connections to Uxie and Victini as well for more fun options in merge. And because I'm such a flirt (according to my trainer ) I can do cool things like playing both sides or being a spy. I might even end up playing both sides of an upcoming conflict in merge between MYSTIC 2.0 lead by Meltan/Deoxys VS. Hoopa/Celebi/Poipole + affiliates.

Tate and liza since this might be the last episode we see each other.
I'm actually super blown away by how much help you have been. I didn't know what to expect at all from having a trainer. I thought I knew all there was to know because I placed well in KSS, but looking back, I did play quite sloppy. Fun to watch and insane, absolutely, but also I would like to make it all the way and win while still being fun and not boring.
I think my natural fun style in addition to what I've learned from you about controlling decision makers rather then trying to be that decision maker myself will go a long way. KSS I was calling the shots and came in 6th for it. Not only that, but also having a strategy of actively gaining the trust of people and then turning them into big threats that work for me? That's lethal, dude.
Gain people's trust and pick them off one by one (Akane style) + Control decision makers (Tate & liza style) + Turn allies into decision makers (Reggie style). That's the plan.
I really hope to do well and make you proud.

I really hope to do well and make you proud. :') Weaponize those kids and send them to their graves. You've always done great with that before. They'll never know what hits them. Just remember to stay in the present and be open to people at merge. Never feel like a plan is 100% concrete. Sometimes others will drop subtle hints which tell you the bigger picture. Try to pick up on those moments by taking a step back and realizing by taking inventory. I think your biggest misstep so far was overestimating Mewtwo's presence when split up from you. Tapu knew how to predict it because she had the outside perspective. Doesn't matter in the end anyway, because you never needed Mewtwo to thrive in this game - instead the underdog players have needed you to thrive in this game. Your charm on the offensive, is a powerful cannon blast that they cannot defend against. One caution is just to be wary on how you are name dropping. All it takes is one person to have a moment of doubt on you, then they can say exactly everything you've said about others. If I'm forced to go back to my home gym, then take this one home. These newbies are all strong, but I think your style is the best balance of bright-eyed social rookie and hardened sly pro. Just don't forget to have fun, I'll be watching from afar not just this game but for the future. I'm glad I got a chance to be your trainer, because you remind me of myself. So, go outdo me, and win!

I'm not sure how to read this quote, but is there anything in there that Tapu can use to confirm that you have a F3 with those guys?

Potentially. I'm trying to make her feel like she's closer with deoxys then I am though using my language. She has those moments where she says she likes them and I say yeah without reciprocating it.

thanks a lot for the warm words. it does mean a lot to me. you've probably noticed i'm a little prone to good old paranoia and anxieties.. heh. i'll trust you and meltan, if you guys think i'm worth having around when the re-merge happens then i'm down to try my absolute best. ^_^ hopefully it's one of us 3 (or one of the awesome people on old Valor) who can take the win. "If you guys think I'm worth having around". That is a phrase that causes me discomfort.

Going to KonMari that one sooner then?
How do you typically reassure a player who presents with low self worth and self proclaimed paranoia?

I am not so sure what to do with tapu. If she lets her low self worth show only to me, that's fine because it means she trusts me, and I can be her personal therapist.
If she starts letting it show to other people, people are going to naturally start targeting her anyways and pop her off. How have I dealt with people with low self worth in the past? Honestly just voted them off lmao. But this one I would like to encourage so she becomes more useful to me.

You're right to try to figure if that's only with you.
If so there may be different reasons:
A) you're the number one and most trustworthy therefore she can let her hair down with you. She wants you to keep her safe.
B) you're the one she is most tentative about and is seeing how you respond to these words to test your relationship. It's easier to hedge and play yourself down because it forces the listener to take action to ignore, reassure or empower. Ball in your court.
C) you're down on the list and this is a great way to not let you know she's ready to drop you and wants to make you believe you are her saviour.
D) any other possibility.
What's key is that she probably is waiting to see what you do with it. So good luck!

Just because of how persistent she is with sharing anxieties, I think I'm leaning the most towards A and B.
She trusts but is over-sharing that she has a bit of hesitation. Hopefully if I weaponize her the way I want to, it will get to the point where it won't matter what she thinks anymore because her days will be numbered.
I would consider C more strongly if we were in merge. I don't think she has the confidence in enough other people that I would be on the top half of her hit list. She could probably get like... mespirit and volc(?) to turn on me, but uxie would be a question mark, and she has no influence over mystic 1.0. I don't think C is the case here.

Valor 2.0 TC is going to be brutal. These people have been online on and off all day.
Meanwhile you got mystic 2.0 just executing the chill blindside on articuno. He thinks there's going to be a 4-1 tapu vote where I sacrifice her to save myself.
