looks like nothing can stop regi/lele/deoxys from going to the end together except final immunity really.

Yeah, deo's reaction to poipile saying they adored them essentially being "yes, a jury vote" is uh...yeah I don't like that.

Still I may be reading that completely wrong but like, I would have expected a little bit of sadness to come before that.

i mean, it's not really out of character, it seems pretty apparent that dude's here to win and that's it

Wait...Coba just completely owned that they lied to the jury in the jury forum that is...okay, that's a thing.
And I don't think it's out of character, I just don't like it.

regi's probably right about not being able to win any finale here, i'd say tapu probably has a better chance than him, but you never know with juries
i'm sympathetic and also don't have a clue who his best chance is against. it's probably not deoxys -- against celebi/hoopa, he at least can argue that he did more. tbh, his best shot might be to take both celebi and hoopa and pray they split votes.

i'm personally fine with viewing people that like you as a jury vote. i guess it's like, people have differing views on whether they're here to make friends and socialise with people they like or just play. and my personal perspective is just playing is more important.

I get the logic, it wouldn't be my first reaction but I would definitely be happy about a locked jury vote for me.

If this were real CBS Survivor Reggie would take up Aubry's mantle as "ROBBED G.ODDESS (but not really if you use your brain for three seconds)"
anyway I love reggie

Good job surviving Reggie! Continuing to vote Poipole made the idol pretty wasted, now they're outnumbered and have to pray to Reggie for a blindside on Deoxys? At least it's not an absolute zero chance as long as someone can actually do the challenge besides Deoxys. It's a bit late to notice people aren't going to like Deoxys's confessional, he's been faking his persona from the start. I'd be celebrating in his shoes too, he can now claim he would never betray Poipole and only we have the receipts. I have to say I really expected Reggie would get himself killed by now, he ruined my predictions by pulling a Theodora. Also also I'm still not sure who Celibi is, I would think it was Drumbeats if he wasn't already dead. I hope it's someone who sucks, probably.

I’m going to follow Cobalion’s example: every game from now on I’m going to pick the person with my least favorite avatar and make it my life goal to make sure they don’t win. After all, it’s their fault for having such a shitty avatar.

Poipole had the best avatar though and was literally the best color. :< You say that like voting against someone because they picked Donald Trump is entirely wrong >.>

Yeah, Poipole played really well but I don't have sympathy for anyone who would neglect their confessional and then complain post-game about spectators not rooting for them (to be clear, I'm not saying Bella specifically has ever done this, and I don't think she has). I think it's reasonable to expect that spectators will A) comment on the gameplay that they're seeing, and B) hope for outcomes that result in us getting more insight into the game that's going on. If you don't share your thoughts/plans or what you've been doing, you can't expect spectators to have much commentary on your game. And naturally, if I'm rooting for someone like Regigigas who uses their confessional a lot to stay in the game, I'm going to hope anyone's plans to vote them out fail and someone has to go home. Obviously it doesn't mean that not using your confessional = not playing a good game, but as a player I think you have to accept that spectators won't have much to say about you if you didn't have much to say to them.
Is this a problem in the community? I think it only is if the spectator forums get toxic and bash people for not using their confessionals, which I don't think has happened here, it's just been people tending to root FOR the people talking a lot. The much more important reason to encourage people to use their confessionals (which isn't being talked about) is that it's incredibly valuable to players post-game who want to see where they went wrong and can improve. If Wallace turned on me and gave no explanation as to his thought process at the time in his confessional, I'd be pretty annoyed that I gain no insight into how to prevent something like that from happening in a future game.

I have no sympathy to this boot. I'm so glad Poipole went out. IT would have been horrendous if Poipole had won.
I said this to one of the mods but I'm gonna re-mention it here. Playing the game of Survivor and seeing how the game of Survivor was played are two sides of the same coin. Both are important to the enjoyment of the game during the course of the game as well as after the game and in the future as players re-read the old forums for nostalgia and inspiration. You only see things your way while the game is being played, so when it is over the only way to get a total grasp on the how the game actually went down would be to see everyones confessionals. If someone is neglecting their confessionals, they are not doing their part in crafting the narrative of the game and how the game was played, thereby sabotaging the game, its players and spectators of the experience, enjoyment and growth it could offer as Large Social Game players. It's like playing a board game where one of the players shows up, roles the dice then goes into the other room to watch TV until their next turn. IS that really playing?
It's not hard to make a post one round, even just a quick one or two liner. I really appreciate that Celebi has been stepping up their confessional game. It's not much, but it is better than nothing. Yes, sometimes real life happens and you miss a round. But make it up when you can...
What makes me even more upset with the lack of confessionals is that this game was geared to be a newbie friendly game. A game where more skilled vets show new players the ropes and teach them the skills they need to compete with veteran players without being outclassed in the future. Nothing is worse for a new player who got voted out to go back post game thinking, "Hey, I wonder why I was voted out." Then discover that most of the confessionals are blank and offer no insight to their game. How can a player grow from that? How can they learn what their strengths and weaknesses are?
My two cents. And I don't think Poipole necessary was playing a bad game, its always challenging to play a floater. But its hard to be sympathize to a character being idoled out when the character had the personality of wet cardboard to us viewers.
Onto the round at hand...
I think Tapu Lele were to make a game changing move, this would be the round. It would be a bad move for her, I think her best shot is with Regi and Deo. But perhaps she can be guilted into voting with Hoopa or Celebi. Or perhaps even quit under the pressure. Never a good thing to see, but it seems she is kinda over the game and guilt might mess with her.
I'm really upset that Hoopa and Celebi didn't want to work with Poipole last round, but their concern about Poi's game makes sense. Hoopa needs to win to stay in the game. Celebi might be able to sway Tapu Lele to turn on Deoxys perhaps, but unlikely.
Regi voting out Deoxys would be funny though and would put a lot more merit into Tapu possibly walking away with the win. Tapu Lele winning by being miss congeniality would be hilarious and just goes to show how people over played themselves. Haha.

I'M FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO EVERYTHING. SO PROUD HOOPA PLAYED AN IDOL. NOT SO PROUD THAT SHE DIDN'T TARGET REGI WITH HER VOTE. I THINK ULTIMATELY THERE'S NO INCENTIVE FOR TAPU OR REGI TO ALLY WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN DEO AT THIS POINT. WITH POIPOLE IN, TAPU WOULD HAVE HAD TO MAKE SOME CHOICES WHICH I THINK WOULD GIVE HER MORE JURY CRED, MAYBE I'M READING IT WRONG THERE, BUT I FEEL THAT SHE WILL NOT DO WELL UNLESS SHE STARTS TAKING EITHER OWNERSHIP OF HER STRENGTHS THIS GAME, OR KILLING IT AT FTC.
THAT BEING SAID, I COMMEND HER FOR GETTING THIS FAR IN HER FIRST GAME, THAT'S A HUGE FEAT.
I ALSO THINK THAT DESPITE THE LACK OF CONFESSIONAL POSTS, POIPOLE WAS DEFINITELY AND CLEARLY A SOCIAL THREAT TO WIN THE GAME. I PROBABLY DIDN'T GIVE HER ENOUGH CREDIT. I THINK ITS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE WILL GO BACK THROUGH AND READ THESE AFTERWARDS, SO I WOULD HIGHLY ENCOURAGE WORDS TO BE CHOSEN CAREFULLY AS IVE SEEN OTHERS SAY. AS SOMEONE WHO WAS LAMBASTED BY SPECS DURING A PAST GAME, IT'S HIGHLY DEFLATING AND UTTERLY DEVASTATING TO HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH AND READ IT. IF YOU ARE READING THIS POST GAME POIPOLE, JUST KNOW THAT WHILE YOU DIDN'T CONFESSIONALIZE AS MUCH, DOES NOT MEAN YOU PLAYED A BAD GAME, AND I FEEL LIKE READING OTHER CONFESSIONALS PROVED IT.
BACK TO THE GAME AT HAND. WITH NO REMAINING IN GAME IDOLS, THIS IMMUNITY IS CRUCIAL FOR HOOPA AND CELEBI. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED IT IF THEY WANT TO ENSURE THEY SEE F4. REGI APPEARS BORED AND WANTING TO STIR SHIT UP BY GETTING DEO OUT. I WOULD WHOLE HEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS AS THAT WOULD MEAN HOOPA SURVIVES AND HAS A SHOT AT WINNING. I THINK TAPU LELE NEEDS, WELL, ANYTHING AT THIS POINT SHE CAN GRASP ON, THOUGH SHE MAY HAVE A DECENT SHOT AT EARNING AT LEAST THE NEWER PLAYERS VOTES FOR BEING NICE. CELEBI IS INTERESTING. I CAN'T FULLY GRASP THEIR GAME AND CAN'T SEE WHY THEY WOULD BE A TANGIBLE WINNER, HOWEVER OTHERS SEEM TO SEE CELEBI AS A STRATEGIC THREAT. BUT CELEBI HASN'T EXACTLY DONE ANYTHING EXACTLY, BUT MAYBE WE AREN'T SEEING THE FULL PICTURE. DEO IS PLAYING DECENTLY, BUT I THINK HE NEEEEEDS TO BE SUPER CAREFUL, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW MUCH HE TRUSTS REGI.
IN ORDER OF WHO I THINK IS A THREAT TO WIN AT THE END:
1. HOOPA 2. REGIGIGAS 3. DEOXYS 4. TAPU LELE 5. CELEBI
I'VE SEEN SOME LOVE FOR CELEBI IN THE SPECS, AND TBH I JUST DON'T GET IT. MAYBE I'VE MISSED A CONFESSIONAL POST OR SOMETHING THAT QUES ME IN ON IT, BUT REALLY CELEBI'S "MOVES" ARE USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO EVERYONE ELSE, PLUS I THINK TAPU IS MORE LIKABLE. HOOPA ON THE OTHER HAND HAS MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT MOVES THIS GAME AND HAS THE LIKABILITY FACTOR TO KNOCK THIS OUT OF THE BALL PARK. THE LIKABILITY SHE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT IS LOW, AS SHE IS THE ONE TO BEAT RIGHT NOW MAKING HER OTHER PEOPLE'S MEAT SHIELDS. REGIGIGAS HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE MAP, BUT IS HILARIOUS, ENJOYABLE, AND I THINK OVERALL NO ONE CAN SAY HE HASN'T BEEN A FORCE THIS GAME, JUST A REALLY CHAOTIC ONE. I THINK WITH THE RIGHT SPEECH AND THE TWIST ON HUMOR, REGI HAS A GREAT SHOT AT WINNING, MUCH MORE THAN OTHERS GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR. TAPU LELE IS SOCIAL AND I THINK HAS SOMEWHAT OF A SHOT, BUT IT LITERALLY HAS TO BE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SOCIAL TO HAVE A SHOT AND THE RIGHT CROWD, AND I THINK HER CHANCES, WHILE NOT ZERO, ARE LOW. I ALSO THINK SHE RECOGNIZES THIS, BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT SHE HAS BEEN SO THOROUGHLY TRANSPARENT TO KNOW WHERE HER FAULTS ARE. I LIKE HER AND WISH HER THE BEST. DEO IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO REACT IF AND WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT ABOUT HIS DUPLICITY TOWARDS PEOPLE IN THE GAME.
IN THE END, GETTING TO FINAL 5 MEANS THAT SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE, WAS DONE RIGHT. I CANNOT SAY THAT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE PLAYED A BAD GAME AND I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST.
