“This is your confessional! Please post here within the first 24 hours of the game, otherwise we will replace you. The confessional is for you to vent your feelings and thoughts about the game, as well as the place you submit your votes and other actions. You might see the following people in your confessional
Mods: Myself, Cynthia and Steven. Ask us if you have any questions.
Spectators: These guys are supposed to be unbiased and ask you what is going on in the game. They have access to all the confessionals, and are probably getting up to cool stuff in their area.
Have a great game!
-Cynthia, Steven and I.”
This is all that was given to players in regards to use of confessionals in this game.
If playing LSGs is all about crafting a narrative for the sake of others’ enjoyment and use, that should probably be stated somewhere in the game description and/or rules. Players have zero obligation to play for anyone’s sake other than their own.

Tbh I think Hoopa's concern about Poipole's game was ridiculous. When you're literally voted HUGE THREAT in a majority rules round why on earth are you worried about the person who was voted 'most likely to betray shank and fuck you ps we hate you flipper'? It shows lack of awareness? Like why are you voting out threats when you need SOMEONE to be a consideration at F4? Is she hoping they vote out Celebi instead? :V From what Hoopa said to Tapu, it even seems like Poi tried to go to them to turn this around.
The confessional discussion triggers me a little tbh, I was bashed so bad after Karass's game that I considered never confessionalizing again. People should write what they feel up to.

IF IT'S TRIGGERING YOU, LET'S GO AHEAD AND DROP IT UNLESS WE FEEL THE NEED TO BRING SOMETHING RELEVANT UP. THE LAST THING I PERSONALLY WANT IS FOR IT TO BE AN UNCOMFORTABLE SUBJECT.
*BELLOWS, BUT NOT SUPER LOUD THIS TIME*

Nope, Regi is losing this I'm pretty sure. I was wrong when I thought he recovered from the Uxie vote. At least he gets to choose who wins basically. He sounds like he wants to vote out Deoxys. But tbf, Regi says a lot of things in his confessional he never actually follows through on.
Probably Deox vs. Celebi now. Hoopa's shot at winning was idoling out a goat.

Look, I obviously had a harder time rooting for Poipoi for ignoring the confessional. It was a little annoying. But like, real life does take priority and Bella's probably going through quite a bit right now and it's not so bad a sin that it's necessary for specs to clarify how they think she'd be "absolutely terrible" as a winner. This spec thread isn't going to be a great one for players to read through when the game is done. At all actually. I don't know why so many people are so negative this game.
You can say don't sign up if you don't confess, but this is probably the last chance Bella will have to play at all in the near future anyway.

Can someone please prod Hoopa to confess so we can get the righteous 'FUCK FUCK FUCK' confessional I am salivating to see? I especially love the sound of her screaming. >

I'm pretty sure all of the merge would have made great winners, except maybe Volc as I can't see anywhere that would point to Volc being able to win. (against Buzzwole maybe) The game as a whole has been great, and makes me feel guilty for letting my spectating duties in other games suffer if the quality of this one is deemed bad in comparison.

You are more than welcome to not post anything if you don't want too. I don't think anyone wants to join a game that forces you to post 1 post a day or else. But if you're not going to invest time to making confessionals, then don't get upset or defensive when players criticize your game. It is hard to get invested when you give us literally nothing to see. As a viewer, I don't know what you're doing. As a player, I don't know what you did. If confessionals weren't important, we'd wouldn't have them. Players can just submit their challenges via PM and vote via PM.
The mods work hard creating all the graphics, challenges, forums and all the unique twists that go into making a huge game like this run smoothly. The least players can do to give back to the mods is to actually show interest in all aspects the game.
I'll drop the confessional chat now though sorry (EdiT)

i mean i guess i personally was pessimistic about this game being terrible or whatever, but i always am really. there's been a lot of exciting tribals, exciting characters, exciting outcomes in this game.

From what I’m seeing:
- Hoopa wins FTC, but everyone knows that and will vote her off unless she wins immunity. (Though I would argue Deoxys is playing a better game at this moment and would have a case.) - Deoxys appears to be in the strongest position to win this. He has almost full jury support and a clear path to the end. However, I think he has two obstacles he has to overcome... - Regi seems to want to make a move on Deo. I don’t think the jury supports a Regi win at all, but he could still shake up the game by sending Deo home. Deo has to find a way to dodge a Regi/Hoopa/Celebi vote against him here. But even if he does make it to FTC... - ...his biggest competition may just be Tapu Lele, who he intends on taking to the end. Tapu Lele has been considered a goat for some time, but she is a sweetheart and could potentially sway this jury. With a good case by Tapu and a bad read on what the jury wants to hear from him, Deo might just lose to his “easiest” competition. - If F3 is Tapu/Regi/Celebi, the vote is probably a toss-up between Tapu and Celebi. I see Tapu pulling it through; I don’t think Celebi will be able to sell their case well enough to get this jury’s support. They might prove me wrong, though!

Oh yeah Regi is trying to sell out Deoxys? LOL I mean that would be hilarious. the guy has literally killed off every one of his allies expect Tapu Lele. That would be priceless.
Regi needs to quit while he's ahead. If Deo gets his hands more blooded it might be in his favor. Also, I'm surprised Regi hasn't brought up the idea of booting Tapu Lele because if he can manage to get it done without being too regi about it, Tapu Lele would probably be a vote locked in for him for sure.

I honestly believe (assuming Hoopla goes here), Reggie will decide to try to boot Tapu Lele at F4.
Especially when Celebi wins FIC

because if everyone else wants to take a particular person to the end, you shouldn't be agreeing with them.

...oh wait Reggie’s actually just going to win isn’t he? This jury is going to love him. Meltan votes him. He gets votes like Cobalion and Volcanion for being insane like them. If Tapu gets voted out he gets that vote. If it’s Regi/Tapu/Deo he probably gets Mesprit. Uxie’s up in the air.
Yeah whoops he’s being slept on. Regardless of the soundness of his gameplay, right now he’s a threat by sheer personality and jury mood.

Tapu is doing a great job cleaning up the emotional piece of the game in the few PMs she has. Meltan could be a huge advocate for her in final jury because tapu can take a stance of "I didn't follow regi as a goat, we made moves together but I stuck with him because I knew he was brash and I would intentionally be the opposite and appeal to our victims" (ie: very good jury management)
Ever since uxie, I feel like Regi has infrequently stuck to my advice of "don't control the game; control the people who control the game" and now is stuck in a whirlwind of his questionable decisions. Nonetheless he has good skills in this game for relationship repair which has enabled people to either discount him (making him more stealthy) or at least not fully turn on him yet (better than voting him out)

It will help him climb out of the hole in FTC if he goes against some self defeating players in jury. Deo could implode easily.

CRAZY ANTICS AT END GAME CAN SWAY VOTES. WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT GOOD FTC PERFORMANCES, IM GENERALLY DRAWN TO THOSE WHO ARE OVER THE TOP AND WACKY. NOT IN A NEGATIVE WAY, BUT IN A, THIS PERSON MAKES ME LAUGH AND I HAD A GOOD TIME WITH THEM SORT OF WAY. I THINK REGIGIGAS, DESPITE SOME EPIC FAILS, HAS BEEN ENTERTAINING TO THE EXTREME. SURE, SOME PEOPLE FOUND HIM FRUSTRATING TO WORK WITH AND WILL LORD THAT OVER HIS HEAD, BUT OTHERS WILL BE LIKE, GOSH I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE YOU, AND AWARD VOTES TO HIM ON THAT MERIT. ON THE WHOLE, IDK IF REGI WILL WIN OR NOT, BUT NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF AN ENTERTAINING FTC, OF WHICH I'M SURE REGI IS HIGHLY CAPABLE OF. *THROATY GROWL*

Post by Sabrina on Mar 2, 2019 16:56:04 GMT
It's easy to forget that the first three voters barely talked to the vets + Meltan is very unlikely to vote Deoxys. That's four votes right there. If the tie is resolved by whichever of Tapu/Reggie doesn't get 4 votes...
Celebi/Hoopa have the biggest advantage in this regard, which is part of why I think Celebi has an okay chance with Mespirit! Edit: Reggie please get off the pokerus Hoopa is not the junior threat to Celebi PLS

Celebi/Iprobablysuck have a better social game than their success in these games usually imply.
