hi! your name sounds a lot like Popplio, which is different from Poipole. kinda disappointed that there wasn't a spec named Popplio, really.

If you could snort the soul of any other player and absorb their powers, which player would you target?

Jirachi and I are speaking entirely in terrible poems. I am quite proud of my latest, though:
Thank you for your wish, i hope the sleep is bliss I did my research and checked my facts apparently i played diamond, dialga my shiny battleaxe! I left go for a winter, but then outside spring did beckon and it's helped me lose a couple of kg, i reckon! Of what team are you a fan? watching with friends or as a solitary (wo)man? I hope my poems stand out positively, although if you want to drop the rhymes and speak comfortably, your dedication has been noted, but sometimes with rhetorical devices, meaning can get bloated.

Poetry can be the way to some people's hearts though!
How would you rank your trust with the current members of your tribe from most trusted to least trusted?

I don't know why i'm bothering with this challenge, which will probably just prolong deo's life a few days, when he's being THIS UNHELPFUL.
i know it's not nice to lose your shit in the challenge threads but jfc, guys.

i mean, anything before 2am gmt would be great. So, i'm getting a little frustrated with the tribe as a whole: for a group of favs, I was expecting people to be bringing their a game over pms and challenges, but this feels very...run of the mill. Some people are still under 20 pms, and 'chi and sol did not particularly contribute last night. Deo and I rubbed each other up the wrong way a bit during it, but we've both sent appreciative pms to each other afterwards, so I feel a bit reassured. And he did pull it out with the organisation in the end. I feel I took the wrong tack a bit, idea spamming and trying to corral people, but I was genuinely unsure we were going to finish (and validated in this by the edit, as we needed two extensions ) Meltan properly was our MVP though, being able to use his gimmick, lead us in our challenge and manage some organisation. Him being adorable is working very, very well for him, but it does mean that people are finding they are struggling for depth. he's told me that me and 'chi are his favorites, but he's the kind of person that clearly says that to everyone. I think Art saved himself in the challenge, but people haven't spoken to him a lot and his quality of pms isn't stella. Group 2 just seemed a lot more organised. In terms of the tribe overall, my trust levels are varied Col is a beautiful, strategic and quite rational individual, who i get on with ever so well in terms of pms, and is keeping it real it a positive and conducive way. we are officially allied, in writing and everything. I'm enjoying this relationship a lot and is one I want to continue to nurture throughout: i think i have the charm that balances us out as a pair. Hoop is a social threat. Seems very close to Sol, and that's a threesome i'm interested in pursuing. They are fairly easy to read and seem to be an instinctive player, similar to me. we're allied, without needing to be official. There have been some questions about their activity, which surprised me, but they seem to keep irregular hours Sol and Cer: I struggled with sol for the first day or so, but we seem to be in a rhythm now. A little cagey about their relationships with others, but they enjoy me and i've had that verified by others. Would be useful as third arm in a tri-corn alliance. Cer is at a similar level, we talk a lot, the most pms I have, actually, but seems reluctant to be dragged out of fluff. I enjoy them a lot, so i'm wonderin if this will change after tribal and we can deepen this relationship Melt/'Chi: the gimmicks. Meltan, I have addressed above. the meltan/chi/poi team has been referenced by all, and we've also got art to show for it, but i think chi is in a bit of danger if we go to tc. meltan's charm might save them, but 'chi's activity has dropped massively and they really let team 1 down last night. art/deo: just not around. i prefer art on a personal level, but don't have anything deep here with either. art is around less, but they both did okay at the challenge. I can't see this TC being that controversial.

Ahahaah I hate tribal.
So, we went into tribal with three people on the radar: 'chi, deo and art.
Pretty quickly, art was not a viable target, because team 2 bossed the challenge and team 1 was a mess. Also, I'd been subtly shading away from that with people like cob.
But! apparently deo appeals to hoop (possibly because he's playing a bit of the 'i'm not an experienced fav and i don't know why i'm here' card, which she'll eat right up). I also think she's trying to establish a little power base of deo, sol and herself.
The vote swings towards 'chi. I like this less as an option, but can't make a massive mountain out of fighting for someone who's pmed me less than 20 times, even though they've been slightly better than deo's, and who didn't pull any weight in the challenge. I considered it for a bit, mainly due to meltan, but in the meatime meltan is doing crazy shit like pitching voing out hoops to sol, when a blind person can see it's a tight twosome. Suddenly we're in this place where meltan is defending chi and hoops is defending her buddies and the rest of us....are honestly various shades of neutral. The sol wagon was never going to be a great place for me, and i've managed to become a lot closer to celebi in terms of sharing up front strategy and needs.
i did consider making a power move on sol/hoops, but it's a bit too much too soon. it's been much more fun to subtly plant the idea in cob's head that hoop has POWER and that makes her a concern. Apparently this is called 'russelseeding'.
Deo is pretending to be a real humam (tm) now, but has just told me and celibi different things about where he is voting, so... either this is a good sign, because he's tried to reach ut to me this tribal, or he's a fucker who may have to die next.
people have got into a real tizzy about this vote, and it isn't that people care massively about who the vote it: everyone is overthinking who is friends with who and where the power structure lies. Welcome to the favourites?
Also, also: i'm going to keep banging on about this, but the closer deadlines are to 7pm est, the happier I am! It's freaking hard doing a tribal at 2am.

Well, that was straightforward in the end and actaully made me feel a lot better about people. I've got a really good read on tribe dynamic now

Question for you purple princess. Do you feel like your position in the tribe advanced or was hindered by Jirachi being voted out?

Firstly, i love my new nickname I think it's neutral, which is kind of ideal? I managed to deepen a bunch of relationships (cob, sol, celibi, deo), even though i didn't get my 'way', my way was kinda arbitrary and based a) on having a back up ally, who actually probably bring much to my table, especially after the challenge, and b) a reaction to hoop having strong opinions, which is petty of me. I think it consolidated me as part of the safe group, who's opinions are important, but isn't going t be a threat in a way that rubs other people up the wrong way. I feel things are going good

Big sorry for making the deadline even later. If it had ended in two we would have made it a lot earlier but unfortunately that time for the last codenames was the only time that worked for us all.

I think we're gonna try to shift the deadline for the next one, it's rough for me/Wallace at the current time as well.

I do appreciate that. It just makes this difficult. As well as running into that whole identifiable time zone thing It's surprising the difference 6pm eat can have and 8.

Okay, i should use my words. Last tribal suddenly got horrible. There were two people on the chopping block, art and meltan, for basically not being around/talkative. This was fine and was probably swinging art, mainly because me and hoops had a preference. HOWEVER. sol had apparently been instigating shit and treating the bottom badly, getting them to do things and almost issuing ultimatums? There's a world in which what he did was fine, but it's all about intent. when questioned, his intent just kept getting more and more negative. it was strange: sol, i adored you most and cried over tribal, but being defensive didn't help. and then we WON. deo was his usual, brusque self, but it was fun to see him outvoted by me and meltan, and articun, even tho art didn't have much clue what was happening it's also possible the other tribe threw. and now we've swapped into the minority. i'm doing my best at the challenge, i think nearly half of our items are mine but i'm worried. nne of them seem massively talkative, and are being quite cagey about the dynamic. Cob has confessed he has an idol, or 'max revive', but his story is sketchy and his timing was sketchy and i;'m wondering if he's trying to placate me while throwing me under th bus. it's a thing to watch. uxie is a delight.
