Yeah I don't think that the play right now is to tell him to talk to more people. In fact I believe it is more beneficial to me if he has a slightly weaker social game overall. The dream scenario is that we get a win here to keep him out of the hot seat a little longer.
Also this is going to be rough when I have to get up at 4am to do this challenge D:

What even is this nonsense reply. Why are people so eager to tell me how disinterested or how much they don't like something that I said. Like bro I told you that legacy games were by favorite genre and you counter with "I feel sorry for you and your lackluster games"? Like come on if you're not into them, all you have to say is "Yeah I don't think they're really for me because of xyz reasons" and then we move on from there. I'm not mad or anything, but these sorts of responses really leave me out in the cold and don't inspire the most confidence or friendship.
I also sent this massive PM to Buzzwole, so hopefully one of the 4 video games, 3 board games, or 2 anime that I mentioned liking/being interested in gives us something to actually talk about. Hell I'm even willing to start watching an anime if it means that I can mention my impressions to him. Sure he shit on my favorite anime for being an extremely disappointing mess, but apparently that's just how we roll on Team Valor >.> I've been meaning to watch My Hero Academia anyway.
Tapu Lele is still a delight and my shining star so far. 10/10 friendliness and the PM I look most forward to atm.
Sleep time. This is way too goddamn early, but at least I didn't miss the challenge.

His stance on legacy games is also very wrong

Ok Buzzwole responded really well to my PM. He likes legacy games, choice games like Until Dawn, and League. I can work with this. I think at this point I want to be friendly with him and Regigigas on one side, and Tapu Lele and Mesprit on the other, if I am reading people's alignments correctly. I am trying so hard to chat up Lugia and Volcanion, but they are really giving me a hard time.

I just want to go to sleep ;~;
I need to fire off all these PMs but I am so tired and I have a goddamn 5am flight tomorrow morning that I have to catch. I've mentioned to Mewtwo that I am into Mesprit, so hopefully he'll find his way over to them and chat a bit. Apparently he also likes Regigas and Tapu Lele, which is fine by me too. I feel like a part of this recent challenge shows that I can be a useful contender for challenges, which I am still banking on using to try to get in good with Regigas and Buzzwole.
The only issue is that I have already mentioned with Mesprit and Tapu Lele, as well as Mewtwo, that I would be interested in working closely with them, and I am scared of over-committing myself. Especially since there is not even a tribal council, I feel like it would be weird to make those sorts of suggestions at this point.

It's OK to just make people like you without using the big scary A-word for a while.

That's what I'm working on, but thanks for the reassurance. I just don't want people to completely overlook me, but I imagine they're not going to instantly write me off just because I am not hammering game talk. It's just a challenging balance because I don't want them to think that I'm completely superficial

You're so put together I'm barely relevant! But I guess that's a good thing.

I'm working on it. Things will probably be spicier when there is a vote to deal with.

Interesting. Regigigas has mentioned he wants to buddy with me, and has suggested a trio with Victini.

Also the base assumption appears to be that whenever we lose, Mewtwo is going to be the boot. I think that I would like to find a way to hint to him to reach out to people, but I'm not super sure how or if it's worth it.

I've done things like that before and had them not blow up in my face, but usuallythat was because they didn't quite get the hint enough to freak out.
If Regi is potentially forming multiple alliances (if you're right that he's close with buzzwole) then the situation might be more complicated than it looks. Maybe it would be better to let mewtwo be a buffer? Or is there someone else you might reasonably be able to push instead who's poorly connected?

God ok I'm finally back from my stupid forever vacations.
The highlights so far: Mewtwo mentioned he wanted to be in an alliance with me. I was like yeah sure btw if you like Regigigas like you say, you should talk to him about TV shows. Then I let Reggie know about this discussion so that he's aware Mewtwo the silent is kinda into him. I figure if he is aware of that, he might be less excited about Mewtwo getting voted out when push comes to shove.
Apparently also Reggie is not actually super tight with Buzzwole. Buzzwole is kinda curt with other people too, which is good for me. He was a workhorse in the challenge, but didn't have the major social presence to translate that into alliance stuff. I have told Reggie that I'm super into working with him, as at this point he is one of my top picks for alliance friends. While Mesprit was my first, I think Reggie might bring more substance to the table. I'm still keeping Mesprit in my back pocket, though, as I don't want Reggie to overwhelm me at any point in the near future.
Basically right now I kind of feel comfortable in my present position.

Hi there! I have a few questions for you to help spur some conversation, I hope you answer them!
1) Congratulations on your win Team Valor! How does this win speak to your tribe unity right now? Are you concerned that you weren’t the number one tribe this time?
2) Now that you’ve swapped, take this time to briefly reflect on your time so far in this game. What have you learned that will help you going forward?
3) How do you like your new tribesmates? Is the division of old Valor and Mystic on your mind? Or are the old tribes gone and a new day dawning?
4) If you were to go to tribal tonight, who would have went? Why?
Enjoy your night off!

Hi friend!
1) I super don't care that we didn't get the top. All that mattered was avoiding the tribal council, and not being the top performer will likely keep me off radar as consistently a top performer. I think we're reasonably united, although I'm feeling a little ambivalent toward the teammates I have now. I think this is just because I'm a little lukewarm on the conversation I have right now, though that's probably on me. I should work harder.
2) Mostly I've just been finding it important to send full bodied PMs to make people feel like you care about them and are interested. A lot of the people losing out have been giving radio silence, and that's what people are hunting for right now.
3) Right now I've been having a good time talking to Cobalion and Poipole. I do like them quite a bit more than Victini and Lugia since I'm having a bit of a challenge maintaining a real conversation. I'm not sure if they're actually into working with me or what they might have going on. It's making me nervous.
4) I feel like Lugia would be gone since both Cobalion and Poipole have been mentioning trouble connecting with him. I would expect 3/2 Lugia versus, like, Cobalion.

Look at my avatar it's fucking adorable.
Also this tribal council sucks hard, especially since I'm also going to be juggling a belated Valentine's date with the boyfriend.
Right now everyone is being cagey about committing to anything because there's four of us an gossip will absolutely fly. I want Cobalion gone because he's a game threat and I'm a little apprehensive about what he's willing to do when backed into a corner. I'm pretty sure half the Lugia drama came from him, and I'm also nervous about him buddying with Victini better than I can.

Alright this is apparently where I'm writing because phone posting. Victini came to me and said Cobalion seems overly desperate, which is true. Cobalion mentioned thinking Poipole was weak at challenges, which I just told her about. Hopefully Victini can talk to her and make her like him so that we can actually 3-man Cob.

Poipole doesn't seems to want to vote Cobalion, so idk what's actually going to happen here. I'm sorry that I didn't do a better job to control the game, Jasmine ;~;

Poipole has given me a lot of radio silence and is burning a lot of trust I have in her. She hasn't committed to much of any discussion and just disappeared. It doesn't make me feel super tight with her.

Hey, whatever happens, I'm proud of you.
Your description of poipole's actions sounds a lot like someone who's planning on voting for you. :/
