I think tapu is being completely honest with me about everything she experiences on this tribe, and nothing more. She seems to be sort of distrusting of the mystics, citing her paranoia that this is all a conspiracy and we are just getting played by them. Tapu seems to have an OK relationship with meltan (no where near my level), she finds deoxys "frosty", and I don't think she is very engaged with articuno. If I had to read her mind, her short term plans are let us win challenges with an articuno buffer, and her long term plans are to get with a ton of people on valor and kinda just social game ride it out. I think she thinks she knows everything and can predict each TC. She thinks lugia will go tonight. Hey, works for me. Screw that volc guy, kill his allies. Force him into working with me like he said he would day 1. According to meltan, deoxys didn't know a lot about what was happening on mystic, so he needs to be educated by meltan first. Then meltan is encouraging deoxys to start talking politics with tapu and I. This is good, meltan is the head and face of this movement. I have given him much encouragement . So now that deoxys is learning that, hopefully he comes to me and starts talking. But also meltan says he likes me way more then tapu. Probably because I put slot of social effort into getting him to like mr because I knew it would come to this. If deoxys thinks articuno could potentially be a number for us, it might be better to just win challenges and hope someone we don't like goes home instead.

Your last post makes me feel more comforted. I tend to believe meltan is nothing but honest with you. I guess I'm just a bit leery of a "pro" not being on their A game, but I suppose it is possible deo is just out of the loop (based on reports of low PM activity) But for meltan to want to use deo as a third? That seems like such a slow burn. But meltan may have that style.
I just am cautious of letting people's reputations getting ahead of them. You are a very "here and now" player. You aren't a meticulous player who is ten steps ahead because you have all your pawns under you. Instead you're the one turning pawns against their queen and changing their side by using your sexy charisma. You're a playboy and flirt which is a dangerous combo to any good player because they will give up everything to be on your side. You let your experience with someone guide your opinion.
It is entirely appropriate for you to have no long term plan. Instead let's take inventory of your strengths so you have the confidence to battle paranoia when the time comes. I think that's why I get on you for planning ahead and taking out who you think is a threat in merge based off other reports. You haven't met them yet and you haven't had a chance to turn them to your side or to screw them over. You could play an excellent spy against anyone. Some people could turn into your next mew (a 180 opinion change in seconds) so it's hard to plan around it.
What are your other great survivor or interpersonal strengths? (Ffs I really am a psychic gym leader)

(Ffs I really am a psychic gym leader) Yeah. Deoxys is clearly not on the top of his old tribe. Someone's gotta be at the bottom. If we have learned anything from my game so far, its that reputation really means nothing to me one minute I'm laughing someone out, the next minute we are the best friends. So I ought to stop thinking so much about reputation. Maybe I will end up befriending the hoops cartel and play for my favourite side: both sides! My primary means of battling paranoia is by reading into intentions over actions and words. Why would X person say this to me? If they were working against me, who could they be with and what would they gain from taking this line of action? Tapu distrusts meltan a bit, but it wouldn't make sense for him to go all this way for nothing. You know like an occcrams razor thing. Tapu is doing it wrong. So far that is how I have dealt with it this game. I think something I did well in KSS was make people feel like they needed me. Ever since the start of jury, someone in spec chat pointed out that most people in the game would benefit from voting me off , but no one ever had all the information about me like the specs did to come to that conclusion, just the information that looked good to them. So I survived maybe... 7 votes longer then I needed to. And that's why I got the "worst ally" title at the end of the game x) Socially what I did with deoxys worked really well. Oldest trick in the book: ask questions about something the other person is interested in. Nailed victini and volc like that too. My other strength would be bluntness I think. Going back and trying to get over misunderstandings or conflicts of interest has been extremely helpful. Specifically, stuff like telling mewtwo to get his ass in gear when everyone else just told him things were ok. Going and calling out the truth no one else wants to speak or confronting something awkward instead of beating around it or avoiding it has worked well for me historically.

Do this; say this at jury. Then you win. Know yourself, own it, and execute (both killing and .exe)
You know how to win. Just gotta get there

Tapu is a person who, as far as I can tell, unironically believes in the Valor Pagong Dream with 100% of her heart. She even talks about meltan as "someone we will bring as far as possible". lmao. Tapu has been coming to me with all her (mostly invalid) concerns and paranoia. I have been trying to increase her paranoia by saying things like "I hope valor 1.0 is still loyal to us given that they are with all these big threats", hoping to get her dependent on me. Unless she is doing some long term acting for some reason, it has paid off. If lugia goes out that's probably fine. imo he was the bottom of valor anyways. Plus he is allies with volc, and volc was the one who potentially backstabbed mespirit and mewtwo. But if no one from valor goes out on valor, that's fan tastic. I think that we might be the people who are in on the conspiracy here. Are you down for this whole "target hoopa/celebi/poipole" thing when we merge? It seems really good to me, we can sell it to people like (Mespirit, Uxie, Victini) as a "lol mystic is fighting itself lets join in " thing. And if it totally falls on it's face, deoxys/meltan/articuno(?) it takes the heat for it instead of us. Either way someone from mystic is going to start merge with a disadvantage. Yeah I'm on board with that. You're the person I trust the most in this game atm (you've probably noticed that xD). Hopefully Valor 1 still holds majority when the final merge happens but best to be prepared in case it doesn't.. <---- stuff like this is all she ever talks aboutThanks. I trust you the most out of anyone too. The two of us have been playing as one player on this tribe, and that's a bond I don't think anyone else in this game has, not even the other 2v3s from mystic 1.0. What are we at right now... 7v7? Seems ok. Even if volc betrays the tribe, we have two mystics to counter him. If we lose a valor 1.0 member at this next tribal, which could be really bad, we do have a bit of a secret weapon we can pull out. Assuming the mods aren't messing with us, and there is going to be another challenge, (this is something I would just keep between you and me)... If deoxys is sitting out (challenge beast) we could potentially throw the next challenge and sacrifice articuno, into a merge(?) at 12, so it would even the numbers back out to 6-6. Worst case scenario, a 7-5 vote lands on a member of mystic and valor is in control of the game. Real talk, I think on valor 1.0, you were the unanimously most liked player. Every single person on that tribe (except mewtwo and buzz) said that they either felt close to you or liked you. If theres one person who can bring this tribe together no matter what the big threats on mystic have been offering to them, it's you. Add one to my "number one ally" counter, for those keeping score. Since she believes so strongly in the PagongDream (see also: things that aren't happening), I suggest to her the throwing to axe articuno thing. Not that I really care that much whether we do it or not, but makes it look like I have her best interest in mind even though she's delusional. I would rather turn her into a big leader then a budget Kaede Akamatsu who just weakly insists we're all going to make it out of this game together. In other words, "Come on, let's hike up that mountain, the view is going to be great!"

With the idol there I think the best we can probably hope for is that it's burned, I really doubt either of the old Mystics will actually go home but who knows, maybe old Valor'll be able to pull off a blindside or something! the big problem with that is that obviously they don't know he has an idol so they don't know he needs to be blindsided... well, not long until we find out anyway there's some potential that the merge could be right now - 13, 11 or 10 are the normal numbers if that happens things are probably going to get chaotic tomorrow Deo seems to think that in the event we merge right now, he could probably pull Arti in so that we have 5, and then we'd only need 2 more to have the majority if Mesprit was on the outside of that vote against Mewtwo, or was forced into it, that's a solid 6 one more Valor and we're there, any more would be a bonus (although we should probably aim for two, because I don't really like the idea of everything hinging on Arti being with us)
