I love that I get to be your trainer. You're well versed in your confessional, but it's clear that you're someone who is willing to adjust by the winds of change and isn't set in your ways. That's the foundation for a great player. When players get defensive, it's because the plans they had are what they feel they need to hold onto. And if you're picking up on that from Lugia/Volcanus, then that sets you up really well once the game changes. Being so focused onto one name so early on in the boot order means that this is a player who may not have as many options as they realize. With challenges being varied and it being so early, any justification on votes based on challenge prowess could be a manufactured concept. Granted some people globally suck, but there's no way to predict every type of skill in challenges. I heard that your last game had unique challenges and a wide variety, that seems to usually be the case in MS these days. I think at this point, I just want to bring back the idea that to take control of the game, you don't have to always control moves, but you need to control the people who make the moves. What do you think about that philosophy? Who do you think are the key movers and shakers for a potential upcoming tribal and how do you ensure that you still have a pathway to get their real thoughts when push comes to shove? I still am extremely confused about the timing of everything. I love that you picked upon the super suspicious timing of Lugia. I think you are right to think that it is very much something to consider. When timing is that quick, it also means that the person that cued Lugia is worried about you too (for better or worse). But it also may mean that Lugia is either interpreting something and initiating something based of what someone (likely Volc) said, or Lugia was directed to check up on you by someone who misjudged your relationship with Lugia. Considering Lugia has many PMs with you, it could go either way. I don't think it's bad that people are blood thirsty. It can be important to go to tribal prior to swaps to solidify alliances. However, the timing of everything with blood thirst is so suspect to me because of these statements: I think we just have to make sure not to get cocky now but... yeah that was a great first challenge for team valor. hopefully hopefully hopefully we can keep the momentum up for the next few challenges at least. It's definitely nice not to have to go to TC already though. I'd be sad to see literally any of us going, especially so soon. :< How does Tapu go from being like this to suddenly wanting blood. How has Tapu judged everyone quickly enough especially just as the winds start changing? Do you think anyone else in the tribe shares my sentiment too? Do you think others think that you might be tasting blood too? Do you feel that Volcanion was setting up a trap for you by asking who the vote might be? That's a lot of questions, do you get annoyed by my questions?

"Don't make the moves, control people who make the moves". I know what you're saying here. What I don't know is how to actually go about doing that on tribe #1. Now that I have written that sentence, I just realized that I actually am doing exactly that. Mewtwo still has a little bit of pep in his step to try to solidify not being booted first, and so I'm sitting in the church counting money while he is going around door to door evangelizing that lugia or buzz should be the boot with an emphasis on lugia (my personal agenda). I think my paranoid world is never real, and it's totally fine to just vote either one of them off. Uxie is probably also a key descision maker because people like him but he's a bit more underground then tapu, and probably even has influence over her. And I'm aligned with uxie so I can just talk to him and say what's up and hope he relays the message to tapu/mespirit. Tapu very clearly is feeling safe and confident about her place on this tribe right now. She said to mewtwo she has multiple close allies, and she ain't afraid to use them. And I'm not one of them. I put her on a range of maybe 2-3 close allies. 4 is too many. Uxie, mespirit, maybe volc. That's her range. Mewtwo says he's trying hard with mespirit. Good stuff. Mewtwo's inbox with me is basically his confessional at this point, just stream of consciousness giving me an update on everything he is doing / everything he hears. This guy is paying dividends. I think volc lugia is insecure about the boot order but I'm reassuring him by saying buzz is a more popular choice right now. I don't really care which one of them goes to be completely honest. If Lugia and I end up on the same tribe, I'm just going to stone cold tell him to up his game or he's going to die instantly. It worked with mewtwo I think victini is not tasting blood. Lugia buzz no. uxie no. tapu yes. volc yes until no. mespirit maybe. me a little bit. mewtwo yes. I don't think volc was necessarily setting a trap for me. I think we're just allies that don't communicate very much so he was like hey what you thinking. Maybe he was already afraid for lugia's life after hearing of mewtwo rising from the ashes. I don't get annoyed by questions. Do your worst.

Yeah, i've just been life busy and trying to win challenges in this. My private contact has been hella slacking tbh. How's your game going? How did your codenames round go? i wonder if i should tell him that private contact miiiiiight be important in this game. Maybe if we lose this next challenge.

Codenames game, well we lost. Mewtwo gave some clues I didn't get and I'm not great at codenames honestly. Also secret hint: private messaging is a little bit important in survivor because winning challenges is nice and all but I've yet to see anyone win every single immunity challenge all the way to the final 3. No honor in that. Bushido only.Win cause strong guess who is never getting PM'd again

Do you even have a sense of who Buzz would vote for? Lone wolfs aren't the worst thing out there.

no one knows lol. probably whatever he is told to do.
I wonder how he could possibly be useful to anyone other then being a convenient vote for whichever swapped tribe gets him.

Even if its unanimous, have you learned anything from anyone? When the pressure is on, information exchange is ripe for the taking.

yes. free information from lugia. Rip. Guess we're going to TC now. I think it's easiest to talk about who we don't want to see gone, rather than who we want to eliminate (I don't really want to eliminate anyone right now). I def want to keep you (obviously), volcano bro, and tapu. How about you? I think I would like to not see gone You, volc, uxie, tapu, mespirit, uxie, victini and myself, personally.

yeah I did and he pointed that out
which is actually the best typo I made in my life because Lugia actually thinks mewtwo is next in the boot order instead of him, and that makes it look like I subconsciously think of mewtwo as someone to be booted
mistakes into miracles

As long as Lugia doesn't bring a reason to try to flip the switch, it'll be great.

Valor ========== Lugia - Weakest link on the tribe after buzz. People are nice to him in case we swap. Allied with Lugia, maybe tapu. Buzzwole - Literally said "I'm not going to put effort into PMing people". First boot. Mespirit - Friendly guy. Allies are Tapu/Uxie/Mewtwo. Mewtwo - #1 ally. We tell each other everything. Tapu - Close with Volc/Mespirit/Uxie. Not sure about lugia. Uxie - Allied. Close with Mespirit/Tapu. NOT close with Victini. Victini - Primary scheming buddy. Doesn't seem to be close with a lot of people other then me. Volcanus - Backup alliance who seems to struggle socially with everyone but me. Can't click with Victini for the life of him. ========== Legend: Green - ally. darker = stronger Blue - Friendly but not allied Yellow - Scary / Threat Pink - TC fodder / weak
========== Comments/Updates:
Mewtwo best friend. Buzz consensus vote. I learned about what the alliance lines on the "other side" look like, ie. the tapu mespirit stuff. I have a good picture of everything in the game. I hope if we lose again we can easily just slap a vote onto lugia without much resistance from the "other side".

I find it hillarious that we spent all this time freaking out talking behind each others backs
and now that it's time for a vote, we just sit down for some coffee and say "lets vote out the guy who doesn't talk" and everyone in the meeting room nods and the whole thing gets resolved in 10 minutes

I'm voting mewtwo. No effort in challenges, haven't had much contact with them I could be convinced to go with lugia though, sane reasons..I might actually like lugia what are people thinking? Mespirit thinks uphill battle, no response on who is downhill battle. That's the only response I've gotten so far. But I messaged most people pretty late. Okay, so basically don't talk to buzz or he will say he heard stuff from you. Thanks for the heads up, Mespirit.

But honestly it makes me a little nervous that if lugia and mew two ate uphill battles, then I must be the downhill one, but maybe I'm paranoid. And with that I shall log off ~ good day to you sir!

I think I just woke up too late to have talked to anyone, which sucks. Mespirit seems to think 0% on mewtwo. Well that's okay, some people can be wrong sometimes. Lol, well, alright big guy. I'll take your word for it and relax.

I’ll send a longer message in a bit but need to share this Earlier I did the whole panicked thing to Buzz and asked who he is voting for He straight out was like, I’m voting for you 😂😂😂 Unless you’re 10000% confident that you are in full control of the game you never tell someone that you’re voting for them this guy is too powerful we can't afford to keep him in the game
