I'm going to start off that whilst upset that I didn't get Jonna, Jonna/Carolyn together is good because if everybody feels like they are too trolly they are an easy choice to get thrown in by another team I guess. Lucy is actually good because she seems to be in it to win it, doesn't seem too connected alliancewise nor does she seem like too much of a gamebot like some of the girls came out to be.

Now alliance-wise things are getting crazy.

Swag 4 & Partners are definitely going strong still (I hope.) I can't help but get a little paranoid because there seems to be some teams making deals everywhere and I'm practically aligned with most of the game yet I don't know which way to swing. The strategy of the Swag 4 was to turn all of the other teams and the girls against each other and it's working quite easily once you just pile shit on when they start talking... and then they keep blabbing and going on about somebody.

Jonna dislikes Carly for thinking she's a gamebot.
Maggie doesn't like Selena nor Sara.
Most of the girls dislike Selena & Sara.

Hopefully I get to talk to the Swag 4 more tonight but I know if things get sketchy, I have another alliance to jump sides with. Lucy seems to be really connected with Carly, so that puts us with Carly/Elle on one side and we both really like Carolyn/Jonna.

Meanwhile I have the Swag 4 + a deal with Ross and by association Tom. Maggie & I talk but I don't know where her head is at: I just feel like her team is going to be 100% sub/dom and if I want to talk about decisions I'll have to report to her lesbian lover Sara.

I'm going to get more PMing going - with Sara & Tom who I haven't had a chain with in a while and I want to know where everybody is swinging the Samadhi if they win. I brought it up to Lucy about not exactly throwing it but not giving our all either. I don't see the point in getting blood on our hands especially when I sort of want to float and stay neutral. If everybody thinks we're on their side as long as possible, we can't be getting sent to Temple for a while. I just don't want to tell Lucy ALL of my alliances and deals because she might get loose lipped and I can't risk that especially with somebody like Carly being close to her.

And personally, I'm not going to give up most of this information to Andy/Kyle/Paul - I'm going to more of ask them question and get their team dynamics together. Plus, Andy might find himself being thrown in for picking Selena. As long as it isn't me, I'm fine honestly. Again: I just don't want to be sent to Temple.

Lots of people dislike Selena & Sara - that's good for me. It seems like the 3 biggest targest are Sara's team, Selena's team and Tom/Ross' team.

I am trying to get in good graces with all of them while subtly talking shit about them with others that dislike them to try to appease to everybody. I doubt Selena's team will get thrown in though: I do like Andy and hope he doesn't. I'm just going to ask everybody who they're interested in giving the Samadhi and hope that I don't appear too gamebot ish, I tried to ask the question in more of a suggestion form and in a way that I'm asking them because I'll do what they'll do. In reality, I just want to know how the sides are fleshing out.

I decided to PM Tom again and we had a decent discussion and he realized the mistake he made and I do want him to stick around because he seems to regret it and he says he dislikes Ross. So at this point, I'm just hoping that enough teams like me that I won't be sent.

So what was Lucy's reaction to "throwing" the challenge?

Well Lucy decided to do it because after she loss she told me but I hope it wasn't made too obvious that we were going to throw it, I just made up some excuse on how we messed up in the late 30s and that my internet was having a slow connection so we were going to lose regardless if we continued and I guess people bought it. And now that I found a late # ball and that we didn't do well in that, people don't see us as threats. The only way I feel we can get a Samadhi is if they want to "flush" it and put it on a weaker team to make sure it doesn't come into play because I doubt LuLu and I can win anything really.

Alliance-wise, I'm feeling meh. Andy's real life stuff has caught up to him and Kyle/Paul are already counting him out of the Swag 4 and I know Kyle/Paul are a closer pair than me when it comes down to things. I don't mind Selena going but this blows. And then my other alliance with Lucy is with Carly/Elle who she's REALLY close to but then Jonna, my other close ally is on board with a Carly/Elle boot and so is Selena who is the partner of another ally of mine. I've honestly just have been trying to work my position. ANYBODY can be sent in at this point as long as it isn't at the hands of me (and I stay safe) because then it's more people on my side and more people not coming after me. In retrospect, Lucy and I need to keep around more high-profile/annoying people to make sure that there's always a target over us. When it comes bubbling down to just allies, I think we might be thrown in.

Right now I feel like the Swag 4/MSFTs is drifting and might not make it to the endgame. I'll work to keep it together but... I'm not putting my neck out there to save this alliance. I'll just regroup and make a new one. I'm trying to get in with Sara/Maggie incase they stay around and hopefully trying to play both sides is good for me. I had a decent talk with Tom about his shadiness and then Ross and I are back on good terms but then I don't trust Ross now. He let Jonna's plan to maybe target Carly out and Carly came questioning me about it and she directly placed him as the talkative one.

I didn't give this back to Jonna though because I don't want my name being involved in a game of telephone. I don't even know what to share with Lucy at this point :lol: I'm just thinking we should make up a thread about all of the teams, who we're aligned with (individually and team wise) who wants to target who and etc. Maybe that'll make everything a little easier.

Even though I don't feel like I have to with the main targets being Blue/Green/Yellow (I need to double check those colors), I wouldn't mind winning the TM to show my allegiance.

You're her partner.

But I think she said anything besides 11 was fine for her.

Yay Lucy won! *twerks*

So right now it's a heavy decision to make because Lucy clearly has influence from Carly/Elle and wants to send in Green being Jonna/Carolyn. I like Jonna/Carolyn and DON'T Want to send them in. I'm 100% fine with Blue because they are an easy reason to cite and hopefully that doesn't get too much blood on our hands. Who to put them against might be tough though. Most of the Swag 4 is safe except Andy... who is considering being dropped for the alliance in lieu of Carly/Elle via Paul. I don't want Paul to get any stronger bcause I already feel on the Bottom of the Swag 4. I've been playing both sides so I didn't have to make decisions and now I'll have to be making them pretty early it seems.

It may be easy to throw in Selena and tell Andy that his activity/IRL issues may be getting in the way of things, I don't really know. I just don't want Green to go in and I don't want to make it obvious. I want a weaker team like Yellow to stick around regardless though.

So I want Pink vs. Blue in the end of things. Hmm.

Me & Lucy may have worked ourselves into the middle of several alliances because we're honestly between both sides I feel and wecouldn't have won at a worse time. I feel like if either side had won the side of Red/Teal/Purpe/Pink (Swag 4+Carly) would've put up Blue/Green and then the side of Blue/Green would just attack either one of them, with them probably nominating Teal for the Samadhigate and Pink because of Selena in general.

Yes I worked towards getting the Swag 4 and likd them intro weekend but I can't stand some of them now, I see Paul as a threat/too much of a amstermind, Andy is mostly MIA and then Kyle is Kyle. He's good I guess but they're all too well connected. I feel left out, y'know? They are always talking about the conversations, etc. that they have with Selena and the deals/control tehy have over other people and then it's like, err, that person BARELY talks to me and they expect me not to feel some type of way. And then I feel like Lucy is with Elle/Carly too much and in their control.

I WANT to align with Blue/Green. I want to go to that side but it's difficult because this isn't just a numbers game, its a numbers/challenge game. I just feel like Blue/Green can win alot of things but when it comes down to it, we'll be sent in together once one of them goes in and the other comes back. I can't play in the middle for much longer. I want to go with the safe option like Yellow and after talking with Sara I want to sendi n Blue/Green less and less and commit to that side more and more... but Lucy. *sigh*

I just feel like Lucy wants to go one way and I want to go the other. *checks to see who got 2nd if I can disagree and they'll do what I want*

Hopefully this doesn't come to bite me in the ass. Reason behind sending in Green/Pink:

It's one from each "side" from what I observed and is least murdering on me. Sending in Blue directly is going to end my game because they'll come at me guns blazing. With nominating Green, I hopefully weaken Blue so that their only ally is me (if Green goes) and I have a decent enough reason to cite it, same with Pink. My preferred boot would be Pink to lose at Temple and Green comes back w/ no hard feelings but I know I don't live in a fantasy world and the odds of that happening are very, very low.

I admit I am scared of Blue coming for me but I'm just going to make the best of it. I had some power this round and I wasn't afraid to exercise it. After talking to everybody, I'm feeling closer to Teal and I'm feeling abit of a drift from Paul/Ariel, not major but hopefully getting rid of Selena/Andy can bring us together more or this Swag 4 alliance is done. Well Swag 3 since I'm already nominating a Swag 4 member...

It's stupid of me to put my neck out on the line for them because I need to play my game. So my target is Pink really but if Green goes, I woudn't mind it. It's just the Damage control that I need to work on.

We came to this conclusion AFTER my temple picks but Harry & I may think the girls (teams Blue/Green/Pink... Andy is an honorary girl) are working together but are staging fights with their more high profile members to cover their tracks? More sleuthing to come later.
