Hoopa's Disasterpiece: Act 2: Time to rely on my Instincts

*Hoopa walks out very confused*

So I'm noticing there's a bunch of randomly capitalized letters in mod posts now, and I'm wondering what I should do with them. So far I have found:

Team Instinct forum: TU
Rules: ATOR
Challenge 1: ER
Challenge 4: E
Instinct post: PAM

I wonder if there will be more.

uh, you should probably fix the typo in "instincts".

*Hoopa walks out on stage shaking their head*

Hoopa: Who would have thought that having 2 people unable to submit anything whatsoever means you lose a scavenger hunt? I'm honestly shocked. Never saw it coming.

*sighs* And it doesn't help that I don't feel like I'm close with these newbies much at all, though I've been trying. Volcanian is kinda weird, but in a way that could grow on me. Mesprit feels quite a bit standoffish and I don't know what kind of friendship we'd end up with at all.
Mewtwo is great though, I like them a lot. And they were the next lowest rung on the Valor totem pole, so maybe Celebi and I can swoop them up and not end up picked off by the newbies.

I'm not feeling super confident about this guys. Pray to Pokemon Jesus for me, thanks.

*Hoopa rushes out on stage in a clear panic*

Hoopa: Why do newbies have to beeee sometimes? Like.. why? Volcanion sent me a PM that included the line: "I am personally trying to convince people from voting you using the "I think Hoopa may have an idol" argument." So now I'm kinda freaked out because like, as you all know, I don't have a fucking idol. And as those of us who have ever played before, the moment a rumor like that goes out, it's uh usually bad. So I'm panicked as all hell now. Like, why would you do that? Why? Why would you say that? I'm happy you want to keep me alive dude, but like, why? Why that argument?

I've been told I'm probably fine, but jesus god. I don't need this stress dude.

*sighs heavily* Okay Delphox, I see you have some questions.

1) I'd say that the divisions are, Celebi and I are not going to split, and the 3 others aren't tied up together in anyway and probably not likely to stay in a cohesive unit, and Mewtwo knows he was bottom and is likely to want to stay alive. So we'll see what happens.

2) I am fairly concerned. I'm okay at challenges but I am not super great at them. I do think with this challenge we had 2 people not submit anything and like, only one of them said they had technical issues? I wasn't able to do a lot, but at least I tried. I think we need people who are capable in challenges around, but I have no idea who those people are here.

3) God, I don't know what I've learned other than other people need to learn how to phrase things in better ways. Like dear god in heaven. Miscommunication is killing people here. So making sure everything is as clear as humanly possible is probably the way to go here.

4) That is a good fucking question my dude. I'm hoping it's a red, Mewtwo seemed to say it could be Mesprit and I hope that's true. Volc says both Mesprit and Mewtwo are gamebots, which yeah I can see that. And Volc is just a weird dude. As long as it's not me or Celebi who goes home, I'm quite okay.

Thank you! I'm going to need so much fucking luck.

*Hoopa comes and sits on the edge of the stage*

Hoopa: I don't like this. It's been unreasonably quiet today. And I can't tell if it's due to timezone shit or what. Also Celebi, bro, you need to like be here and shit. We need to like, be sure we're on the same page and everything. Idk though, like, this could go incredibly badly for me. I don't know if I'm trusting the right person or what. This could all be bad and I go home, or Celebi goes home and I was being lied to this entire time. God these numbers are such shit for me.

Celebi and I are both screaming in our PMs to each other and telling each other we love the other. This either goes really well or really bad and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*A very excited and happy Hoopa runs out on stage*

I DIDN'T JUST SURVIVE A POSSIBLY HARD TC, I HAVE A GODDAMN IDOL AND NOBODY KNOWS! AND THE NEXT CHALLENGE IS SOMETHING I'M REALLY FUCKING GOOD AT. THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING DAY. AAA!!

Mesprit is all set to keep working with Celebi and I, so like, there's no way we don't leave this tribe just fine even if we do lose WoF. I did probably burn my bridge with Volc, but like, eh, I think he might forgive me for lying since he was lying to me.

*Hoopa dances out onto the stage*

I'm feeling really good about this game right now. Like really good. I got an idol in my pocket, totally killed it in a challenge for my entire tribe BY MYSELF, have some really close buds here. I think I'm alright. However, Volcanion may be a bit of a problem. He's trying to tell Celebi and Mesprit that he and I had some deal and I went back on it and didn't tell him what was up. And maybe trying to push to Mes that he'll trade me some sort of idol clue or something for safety. It's... unclear. And it's like, oh, okay so you're a chattery person that's cool and fine and not going to be a problem, nope. It's fine. That's gotta go like asap. I can't have that.

I really hope that Coba and Poi are going to make it out of that TC they're going into, I really hope so. Coba played really fucking hard here, and it sucks that a lose a turn basically sunk his whole game, but here we are. I don't know how that's going to go.

Also, going forward, I'm not completely clear what my path going forward is. I think I'm kind of bound to Celebi right now and I'm not really going to be able to do much about that. I'd rather have Sol, but it's fine. I think I can bounce ideas back and forth off of Celebi and it will be okay, but I don't think I can ride this to the entire end. That sounds like a way to surely lose. I'm really just looking forward and trying to keep my options open, and not dying in the process by what I do or don't do. I feel good, but it feels like a temporary calm, and I do not want to get complacent whatsoever.

*laughs* Anyways, that's a lot more serious than I want to be! My goal is to be entertaining and fun and bring joy to the people I'm playing with, that's what I want to try to do here. I want to make them laugh and make the game worth playing. I want to be that guy. Hopefully I can manage that, wish me luck~

*BIG LOUD GROWL* IM A NEW SPEC TELL ME WHY I SHOULD ROOT FOR YOU!
