Episode 11: Call of Duty: Love Triangle

Absolutely we are cool. Though just one thing, it's not that big. What was your motivation for the uxie vote? Obviously I did it to get rid of the idol, but why'd you go for it?

Just wondering.

Fear of Meltan having too many options. It scared me to be in an alliance that was Meltan + all the Valors + Me, when it seemed like Meltan would have the flexibility to take me out any time he wanted, and he had shown the ability and willingness to do so before with Articuno. We've talked now and are cool, but at the time it scared me how easily he seemed to get every single new player on his side.

That is completely understandable and respectable. I noticed (second hand?) that you were a bit uncomfortable with the articuno vote but I didn't know it went that deep.

Meltan told me Uxie was the one who was gonna get picked off and not you, because of that idol. Maybe if you had known that you would have felt differently. Whatever man. Things that happened in the past.

I think with that out of the way, there's no doubt or question marks in my mind about you whatsoever.

5. I think I am keeping a good confessional.

Okay first of all sorry about that, I didn't really know it was supposed to be a secret. I know you're known for your short PM's, but as the numbers dwindle, we're probably going to have to get a little bit more lengthy in our communications to keep things honest and open. Like, if something needs to be top secret and it isn't obvious, just make it explicit rather then risking it.

Second. No, I did not tell hoopa I want her out next. I have yet to even talk any game whatsoever with hoopa. Even when I voted for uxie, I heard that name through cobalion and celebi. Hoopa is, quite frankly the person who I would like out next the most because she's a challenge threat and we never talk to each other at all, and celebi is bad at challenges.

So are you telling me that hoopa (literally the person I want out next) is saying I'm saying you want her out next?

Are they trying to throw me under the bus for stuff I didn't do, kind of like cobalion, except this time with lies?

I'm going to go over a history of things (stuff you already know) and see if I can try to show you what I think is going on here.

Uxie gets voted out. You try to cover yourself for a bit, which makes me worried that you're lying to me because I think you're siding with celebi/coba and trying to vote me out next. (because when you're lying to someone, you probably don't want to see much more of them.) This makes me get really scared and try to get celebi/coba to vote for you (they just leak it back to you), but then you come clean and I drop it. I play it cool and just vote out coba as planned.

Now obviously, me targeting you for that brief moment was a bad move, not only because you and I have the same goals in mind and should be working together, but also because it was done out of fear and makes me seem like kind of an erratic player. Cobalion caught onto that, and tried to spin another one of his signature CobalionNarratives to get me voted off. Obviously it didn't work. But now the seed is planted in people's minds.

So after getting blindsided, it's obvious that celebi and hoops are on the bottom. Like, you don't need to have access to a top secret next two votes boot order to see where this might be going.

And people on the bottom are going to do anything to get out of the bottom, yeah? So what's their master plan? Throw me under the f***** bus again except this time for stuff I didn't do, because /hey/, it's believable right? reggie is just this loose cannon, right? Except no, you know better, you have seen my motivations, and those two trying to stir the pot again to try to save their butts from being next since cobalion already burned all the idols that could have been used to save them. Those guys are like a low budget russel hantz and co. that just go around doing snake shit but it fails every time and they waste all their idols.

Mate that pisses me off for real considering my main objective right now is literally STOP CAUSING DRAMA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and instead they keep spinning shit to try to get me all tied up in the center of it AGAIN

so yeah I am really not happy rn and I am amazed at how bold and cutthroat these people are. Meltan really was onto something when he called hoopa and celibi out by name back on mystic 2.0.

for real though I really appreciate you just coming straight to me with this instead of letting it become a big thing that actually gains traction.

the fact that you-me-meltan are can all just be such straightforward players in this game full of mystic 1.0 spiders and spooks is such a breath of fresh air.

Actually dude I was sleeping last night and I just figured out how to catch these guys in a contradiction and expose them.

I promise that I will not send a PM to either hoopa or celebi for the next 48 hours. Last night they came to me apologizing for voting for me, I said yeah no hard feelings I saw that coming, and they asked about who the next vote might be, I gave some noncommittal answers "idk could be anyone lol F7 is always crazy amirite haha", I went to bed, they went to bed.

Because those two are going to be eager to throw me under the bus for anything possible, they're going to probably gonna soon start running around saying "reggie has totally ghosted me! he hasn't talked in like 24 hours!!" which totally contradicts their previous lie that I'm trying to work against you.

And we will put them in the dumpster where they belong.

THIS IS CALL OF DUTY: GHOST OPS.

ngl pretty nervous about hoopa trying to come after me later just because we're on bad terms

What do you think is going to happen to hoopa? I mean.. after meltan goes, she's probably the biggest threat left in the game. See my problem with how this game is going to sort out if we vote out meltan here is kinda like this. Here are the high school cliques:

The Upper Year Threats (Meltan > Hoopa)

The Junior Threats (Celebi > Reggie) - because deoxys said you're a big mini threat therefore you are

The Threat Killers (Deoxys, Poipole)

The Goat (Tapu lele)


Like everyone in UYT tier is a challenge threat and an FTC threat that could run away with the game. I've got a connection to meltan, you've got a connection to hoopa. And the diagonals of that square dislike each other, you don't like meltan and for somereason hoopa doesn't like me. But as long as we have each other, we can keep our big dogs on leashes and not biting each other.

Then there's poipole who would just vote off anybody above her tier and slide to the end. There's deoxys who has a connection to meltan and myself, and is gunning for celebi and hoopa. See my main fear is that FTC will somehow become (Deoxys, Poipole, Tapu) and I literally die IRL because I'm forced to vote for one of these jokers.

Like, what's the plan to get rid of these threat killers? Will there ever be a plan to get rid of them? They're gonna come after you and I later and we know it. How can we set things up to prevent that? Would you and I lose to hoopa in the end? Is she someone who can't be allowed to get to the end? What are we going to do at 6 after meltan is gone?

(Man I am sure surprised you went from blindsiding me to being the person I talk the most serious game with but our positions in the game kind of require it also if I lost you I would be heartbroken)
