anyway, I'll probably just do it tribe-by-tribe and just on my early impressions, idk!

Cue the clusterfucks. Like, not in that way, but the way that these people totally did a God-awful job with that pick-em. I know that some were rushing and all, but as I said, people really should have previewed because not just them rushing there so fucking fast, but then having "others" try to join even after the fact which has raised major red flags. Hey, at least they're not alone in this fuckery. I don't really hate anybody here as individuals, but I'm repulsed at them being here and what sort of shit is going to unfold.

1. Johann Schmidt - (lol, no way in hell am I bothering with dragging up 50 avatars again.) He's cold, but fun, and has made decent impressions on people thus far. Truth be told, I have no fucking idea what "alliances" are going to prevail here because there was so much stupid overlap here that it's gross. Him acting disgusting with Rogers in their SG will hopefully be a fun thing.

2. Loki - :lol: This is not a situation that he would have wanted, and I'm not sure it will be trouble for him, but it's going to be incredibly uncomfortable for him. I don't know if this screams out to me thus far as a tribe of just all superstars, but the problem is that thus far it seems that everyone is competent in their own ways and they're basically at "F6 mode" of the tribe when it's F10. Oh, you beautiful idiots, causing this mess...

3. Yuriko - I'm not sure I can point to 1-2 specific things, but I've enjoyed her thus far. I was cracking up when she went off on one of the people in her SG though. In terms of plans here, man... I don't really know where she fits in that much. She seems to have a bit of a tongue here, which I can support but this tribe in general has disaster written all over it.

4. Emma Frost - Yeah, I'm not sure why I have her this high, but she's gone out there and tried to make an impression and if nothing else, that's something to say about people that you either haven't been able to speak to or haven't spoken to much.

5. Benjamin Grimm - With me personally, he hasn't made a hell of a big impression, but reading other thoughts about him, he actually seems to be doing quite well making friends. More importantly, I don't think he carries the same stink of "obvious alliance that is in the minority", so he may be ok over here? :wtf I really don't even know.

6. Reed Richards - Now, unlike Grimm, I do think he is getting lumped into that "group" and all, but I think he'll be able to play it smart enough here to endure. He's been alright, but not really standing out too much yet. Hopefully he can kick it up a gear soon.

7. Bobby Drake - I almost forgot about him, but man, I don't know if he's going to be long for things here, unless there is move against people that will appear lower. He's done decent enough thus far, and well... there's no reason why he wouldn't be in the running to help them win a tribe challenge/win individual immunity, so that may be just what he needs to get over the hump.

8. Susan Storm - Yeah, I doubt she'll do this poorly in other rankings if people do them, but man... such an ego at F50 before even tribes were established. Like if there were a "Who's mistakenly thinking they're running the game?" at final fucking 50, it would be some group of her, Azazel, and Nick Fury. I don't mind ego, but it needs checked. Well, it's better than being inactive/barely active, but there is so much "pride before the fall" written all over this one. It's good to see her so focused, but already driving me crazy.

9. Heimdall - I don't know. He's someone that I randomly like here, but with worries about "obvious alliances" and all, I can see him taking the fall early. People have already been looking at him as someone to possibly gun for early and often, and it wouldn't surprise me. His support is mostly by people that are "protecting" him, and it's not likely to end well, barring some fuckery with the super powers and all.

10. Vincent Von Doom - Early on, I liked him a bit, and all, but I'm starting to grow wary of him. There is just some awkwardness in here which isn't fun to watch and all, and frankly it makes me laugh how desperate he is to get these idols. Like, not 10 minutes after the groups were revealed, people were commenting on how "someone from my tribe" asked about SGs like point blank in other SGs. The problem here right now is I think he can afford to slow it down on that (even though they're fairly close) and worry more about establishing his spot on the tribe. As it is, it seems he's going about things the wrong way. The early days were kind to him. Landing on this tribe may not be.


Ugh... 4 more fucking tribes to go?

Similar to the above tribe. People seemed way too over-eager to jump there and it makes people on other tribes start to think too much. Is that an issue just yet? Probably not, but again here, I'm not entirely sure how things will line up. Some have spoken about a mutant/XMen alliance, or at least being worried about it, but we'll see, because people have too many hands in play at the moment.

1. Charles Xavier - He's been fun and witty, and hasn't driven me crazy yet like some of the other times in your games. He just seems to be playing it "smooth", which is something lacking in some other people. Is he that deep in the big alliances that were "set" before tribes, out of people that landed here? I don't even know, but I'm sure he'll manage to be fine.

2. Hank McCoy - He seems fairly well liked, but not "too liked", which is a good spot at this point. I'm not sure if putting his eggs in the X-Men alliance will be his best course of action, but if nothing else, it's a majority, plus I think he has some ok relationships with the "others", doesn't he?

3. Raven - I'm actually interested in seeing how she'll go about this character. Some may see it as a ripoff and all, and more natural there because enough natural shticks, not just as characters, but how they were playing the game. I suppose that's what happens when wanting to do something that was done a few times before. Will she be able to pull it off with aplomb? The jury's still out there. For her, it's quite fortunate that there's a natural alliance already in place that she won't have to fight for a spot in. It remains to be seen if that will hold up at all though.

4. Erik Lehnsherr - One of the problems he may have is that he got linked with all those things that got spread around about the "big alliances". I don't know how in the thick of it he even was, but he is going to have some stink on him because pretty much any time that something about those groups got mentioned, he was implicated, with varying names. If he can keep his head up here, he should be quite fine on this tribe though.

5. Clint Barton - There's something about him that I enjoy and he just seems like a "good spirit" for lack of a better way to describe. Alliance-wise, well, he didn't land with "obvious Avengers alliance", but should be able to buy himself some time here.

6. Scott Summers - Honestly, I really can't remember much of what he posts other than being a leader and all, but he's at least made his name known, and not necessarily in a bad way... though I think some people on the other tribes hate hate him? That's not a big deal, so whatever. His best bet is probably riding out this XMen alliance for a bit (lol, I didn't realize til now that 5 of them are in my top 6). That could possibly buy him enough safety if they can manage a couple tribal wins, but well, in all seriousness, this doesn't look to be an expected strong tribe challenge-wise.

7. Justin Hammer - He's kind of awkward and fun to watch from this side of things, but I'm not sure if that will translate to the other players' opinions of him. Quite honestly, I have no idea where he can fit in here if at all. Sure, his group has put in a bunch of effort thus far, but like... they're at a disadvantage and will make things difficult.

8. Ivan Vanko - I think he's been mentioned as a possible early boot, because he didn't get to know many of these people early on? Not certain, but he makes me laugh when he posts, so even if I can't tell if he's "into it" yet the times I see him post are usually worth checking out.

9. Odin - Where the fuck does he fit in over here? Aren't all his friends elsewhere? He's going to have to work very hard here, and it probably will either not be easy, or have to be that other people are fucking up so much that he can survive early on here. I wish he'd have made more an impression on me besides very early on, because I'm running out of words.

10. Azazel - Sometimes I can handle this "type", but the fact that the three talking points seem to be how one tribe must have been an alliance rushing there, another tribe must have been an alliance rushing there, and that Azazel may have been an overplaying fool that was trying to rope like 25 of his friends to be on the same tribe is so... wtf. Playing hard is one thing, overplaying a little bit, fine. However, he's been smug and weird about it and not even in a fun way and it's just rough to watch.

Wow, this tribe has a lot of shit that could be surprisingly trouble for some people. The overlapping bullshit isn't as bad as some others, but is bad for a few individuals, where people may be left out of two separate overlapping things and well, yeah.

1. Steve Rogers - Ew, another CA character getting #1 in my ranking by tribe? Gross. However, he's been good and chill and just working his ass off here. I think he's one of those people that are already going to be at a crossroads early on, because really, I don't know if there are people other than maybe obvious outcasts that don't seem to like him to some degree. Challengewise, this could/should be the strongest tribe, though that doesn't always pan out anyway. His opinions aren't totally gross, yet.

2. Peter Parker - I can't help but laugh at some of his comments in/about his SG. Nobody gets the best outcome every time... well, some seem to, but whatever. Anyway, I do find it curious that he seems kind of not mentioned sometimes, however the conclusion doesn't seem to come down to it being him. Oh right, Rogers will probably be in love with him, so it's all fine, right?

3. Tony Stark - alol, is this idiot possibly in trouble ALREADY? I don't want that to be so, but man, his name has come up and not really so much for his fault. Well, some of his fault, but like what in the hell happened here? He jumped to Kandahar, and people followed, and then, suddenly the options are going with one group of 5, another group of 5, and then he's viewed as someone that is in neither? I know he said he wanted to play it cool and smart while hamming up the character, but he really start getting his hooks in people, and soon.

4. Thor - I actually expected him to be hamming it up more here as Thor, but the occasions when he does are great. I was going to admonish him for posting in the secret powers thread MY HAMMER! or something, but it just made me laugh, so I let it be. Now, the thing with Thor... I'm probably going to like him, but probably not like what he wants to do. That will probably then frustrate me more and I'll be annoyed by him, but hopefully not.

5. Johnny Storm - I'm actually really amused by him being obnoxious in public, but I'm not sure what his desired effect is. I don't think it's going to be an issue at all for a while, but I could see people here being worried that he's "baggage". I don't want him to stop that stuff, but I wish he would seem to pick it up more with individuals, as people will tend to comment on his antics more than on their relationship. Seriously, stop wasting your time arguing with Azazel or someone.

6. Mary Jane - Mary Jane seems perfectly nice, inoffensive, and trying to work a decent social game here. Well, fortunately, she already has Parker here, which won't hurt at all, but she really seems to be more of a "fringe ally" or something to many here. I don't know if she's doing anything wrong. I know she had a slow start, but whatever. It's tribes of 10 now, make something happen, girl!

7. Otto Octavius - I'm a little surprised, but he's more or less playing a "normal" type here, rather than trying too hard or getting under people's skin. His relationships seem perfectly normal, but he... like most people... I'll wait to see how ridiculously OTT they try to get once they mutate. You know it's coming. He managed the opening weekend when people seemed fine with him or had no real opinion, so he just needs to push forward with this new team.

8. Elektra Natchios - I really seem to know more about her by association. There were a bunch of people that seemed to want her on a certain tribe, but that didn't work out. I really have no idea if there are more than 2 of them here. That's not a big deal at the end of the day because there is a lot of volatility on this tribe.

9. Nick Fury - Ok, he makes me laugh, and the whole Curt Connors situation was hilarious, but I'm already kind of over the whole generic Samuel L. Jackson stuff. There are a few other things that I'm just really not keen on, and we may see soon enough if he wants to stir up trouble just for the sake of stirring up trouble. No idea.

10. Jane - She's pissed off her SG partners less than 4 hours into the twist, annoyed the hosts on night one... but she may get a bit of a free pass by some of these people? Ugh.

Overall, I think this is probably a good tribe to have landed on and is the easiest to navigate, well, maybe not compared to the "leftover tribe", but they have a perfect mix of "early core/fodder" already, and for a first week, that would be a grand place to be.

1. Kurt Wagner - As expected, he's great. He probably didn't land with the tribe he wanted most, but he's quickly realized that this should be easy as fuck to deal with, especially for him. His shtick is good enough to make him interesting, but not too much that it annoys people and seems to be able to easily get along with people to not have issues. Make 1-2 more friends, and then just COAST here, guy.

2. Pepper Potts - I'm actually glad that she's not with Tony because well it opens up jokes about the fact that they're not together. Now well, the question is how hung up she gets on that ID she knows, but that's not really a matter. On a tribe like this, it's really not going to matter for shit.

3. Jean Grey - Is she sometimes coming across to people as trying too hard? Yeah, maybe. However, her head is in the game and in spite of public antics, all seems to be in order. Really, she should be going nowhere anytime soon.

4. Sebastian Shaw - I swear "6 Degrees of Sebastian Shaw" was in my head before that even went up. However, he's been good enough socially, and on a tribe like this, even if he pisses away a day here or there, which he won't, it won't make a difference.

5. Norman Osborn - I said it about Raven above, and this is going to (and already has) reminded people of someone else. I worry if that is going to make people put up walls. I hope not, because he's been doing well with it, but he's certainly not quite in the core just yet. He seems to be having fun with this, so I hope he gets scooped up.

6. Matt Murdock - :lol: He only gets this high because of the reactions. He's total mess, but I find it hilarious when people are like "I kind of laugh at his annoying shtick, but it's not something that is likely to work out long for him". I think there may be one or two on this tribe that share those sentiments, but he's not going to be carried by any of these, especially not above any of the top 4.

7. Harry Osborn - See, now we're to people that I guess haven't been around that much. I suppose the difference between him and his father is that people find his father more interesting. Harry is probably going to have to pick up his game in a BIG way to have any shot here, because I think a lot of early damage (or lack of early good) at this point.

8. The Mandarin - Yeah, I'll put him here because even though he's probably pegged for an early boot, at least I think he said he wanted to do something with his character? I don't know. It was probably atrocious, as he said he couldn't really "play", so he'll probably just weird people out until they boot him.

9. Gwen Stacy - Honestly, I lack words for her. I think she maybe started slow and has tried to pick it up, but I can't say shit about her.

10. Wade Wilson - Yeah, I have no idea if he's going to step up activity, effort, and focus, but it probably won't happen and he just seems so out of it.

alol these bitches. Like seriously, this is ridiculous as fuck. Where the hell can I even start? The fact that they may not even just lose everything is so weird. Anyway...

1. Bruce Banner - Bruce had an ok, but not great start, but I don't know why he didn't go to the above tribe. That would have been ok there. Here, he's surrounded by misfits and there he may have been able to easily land in an ok alliance. Here? Roll the dice, man.

2. Remy LeBeau - Ok, I really don't even know if when he confessed that he would show up an hour after the event ended was him doing that just to fuck around, if he had plans, or if there was strategy, just hoping to land on a tribe like this. Well, you got it, and it won't take much to get into a good spot here if you want it.

3. Anna Marie - Originally I probably would have put her a few spots lower, but then I saw her post in her SG, so while she's not been around so much it would seem, she definitely understands her position by landing on this tribe, and has an idea of what she wants to do going forward. So, good luck!

4. Curt Connors - I could have even put him #1 just because him getting duped and sold out is just so fucking funny. That entire episode was so ridiculous, and while he realized that all the negative talk would mean he'd get a misfit tribe that would be manageable with making a couple quick friends and booting inactives, other than that, I now little about the guy. This could work out for him though, unless the rest of the tribe wants to be like "haha, what a fool, let's boot him now to add insult to injury!"

5. Ororo Munroe - She really made little impression on me, but I'm pretty sure she knows just what to do with this situation. Seriously, the minimal effort and you'll be in a fine spot here.

6. Logan - Is going to slow play, is going to back into the majority alliance and all, and will probably be fine unless he decides this week he doesn't give a shit.

7. Eddie Brock - He hasn't been a standout by any means, but I definitely noticed him more in the first day or two than a lot of people. I think the problem is he may not fit in here because he's seemed more or less "normal".

8. Silver Surfer - Oh God.

9. Natasha Romanoff - Ditto

10. James Rhodes - I remember even less about you, and that's only because Tony Stark posted a gif of Scarlett with Favs staring at her ass.


omg, I did it!

Ugh, am I seriously going to try this again? fuuuck.

Let's try mixing up the order this time!

Ok, well, obvious boot was obvious. He'd got too cocky for his own good, and had been absolutely abysmal in private. Sorry, there's nobody like Indy to save you this time. Oh wait. He seemed disinterested in private convos and that was never going to get him far. So they blindside him and, I mean, it's crazy. Going forward, things are getting very tricky though.

1. Steve Rogers - Have I ever put him first, even on a tribe, two rounds in a row? Pfft, and he thinks I'm never nice to him. I'm not entirely sure what he's doing, but it's "typical", I guess. Amid a tribe that could be on the verge of a meltdown, some people are "annoyed" by him, but it's not the type of annoyance that is going to land him in hot water.

2. Spiderman - Hey, gj on mutating, and cool avatar! Now, apparently he's coming off as pushy and it's showing. They've floated so many names around that it's starting to get people into trouble. Elektra hates him right now, but it's hard to not take with a grain of salt because she's been so moody, even with this tribe. What's the worst that could happen? Unless Steve wants to mutate, Spidey would still have a shot at immunity, even though this is a strong tribe at that, even if she led some charge against him.

3. Thor - He gets this spot because I think he did the smart thing. He saw things heading towards a downward spiral and just peaced the fuck out before he could get himself into (more) trouble. He's not without blemish, but his allies hold some sway, and he's trying to do the right thing here.

4. Mary Jane - She's been doing an ok job of playing it cool and just rolling with the punches it seems. The problem that she really is struggling to break into any sort of core. There's some pseudo Spidey core, but I don't think that any in that put much weight into that. However, she is still something like a 4-6 in multiple alliances. For now that may be enough, but if for some reason this tribe goes to TC (or w/e) a lot, she may be in a spot of trouble with super powers and shit like that.

5. Elektra Natchios - I know why she's upset and all, but I actually think it's just as likely that she'll get herself into more trouble. She desperately needs to maintain her composure. She has supporters who have influence here, but she really doesn't want to blow that and create a situation of her versus one of their better allies. I'm not saying she needs to sit back and wait to be the 5th boot on this tribe, but really she needs to keep from getting her bumped up to 3rd boot and then work along the way.

6. Otto Octavius - Yeah, not a big round from him personally. I could consider putting him lower, but there's all this stuff like "I asked someone if they would consider him soon" and some of them just shut it the fuck down So whomever it is that he's doing right with, it's working. However, I thin he's probably a pretty polarizing figure here.

7. Tony Stark - It's hard to sum him up. I think he's having fun just being a character and trying to have fun/crack jokes, but whatever he's doing is totally wrong, and it's hard to root for a "fun character" like that there when by his own admission and by the word of others, he just doesn't seem to be trying to give people, especially in the top half of this list, reason to give a shit about. The fact that he could have been a first boot if people weren't driven crazy by Fury... like, what are you doing?

8. Johnny Storm - I don't know if it's fair to call him lazy, but as a PMer, that seems to be so. I was kind of amused by how he'd shout his mouth off about how he won't even bother responding to some people, but dude... this isn't really the tribe where you're likely to be able to "eh, I'll just win immunity" on. Plus, even Rogers isn't going to fantard and protect him just because of the actor? Get your head in the game because you may not make it to the next phase.

9. Jane - Well, are her supporters turning against her? Someone said that even Thor had mentioned possibly throwing her away, and unless that was lip service just to give someone to think about. There's reasons for most to care about each other. With Jane, and especially a potential double boot (though probably not), what has she possibly given these people to make them want to give a shit about her? I don't even know.

Later, inactive. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever seen a replacement for an inactive be inactive themselves. Maybe in Yope's first game. That's astounding. This tribe still hasn't taken much form, but it's clear that some are going to have much more quality than others.

1. Anna Marie - As I said last round, it seems like Anna is putting in a lot more as time goes on. I have no idea how well she'd have fared on another tribe, but here it is so fucking simple and on top of that, there's like one person here that would be trouble in challenges? I haven't seen a whole lot from her personally... I think mostly stuff in SG, but apparently she has been a huge favorite socially on this tribe, and that should propel her a long way.

2. Black Widow - I wasn't sure at first, but hey, good job on winning the challenge, but also putting in the time with your teammates. Natasha was written off to some degree as one of the first 3 or something, even on Misfit Island, but seems to be giving a fuck and not just "hey, I won a challenge, I'll win tomorrow, so w/e".

3. Bruce Banner - Kind of low key round, but I still enjoy him. I worry about him dropping off the face of the planet or something, and while he writes some good confessionals from time to time, I think he's more or less a "fringe" person, which is kind of a shame now. I don't know if he has a ton of friends here, but there is a laundry list of names that can easily go before him.

4. Remy LeBeau - I laughed at his reaction "I thought I had a pretty solid time, but I lost by a minute?" He doesn't have to do much, and is doing enough. His PMs with Anna are apparently hilarious and makes me want to read some of them, but I doubt I will. :(

5. Ororo Munroe - She's very MOR, but that's really good enough here to survive the night. I believe she hit it off with Anna early, and that could be a big thing for her future. However, some others just aren't too concerned about her at the point. Also, :wtf at flipping out about how people were joking about how it was clearly racism with the minority slaughter this round. I know Ororo doesn't play that much now, but if it were 5 women, then people would joke about how sexist the tribes are or something. Whatever.

6. Eddie Brock - I thin he's in trouble and possibly getting eliminated tonight. He's not the most interesting person, but he seems... "nice". I guess that's the way I could describe him. He'll get his mutation soon for sure. I just wish he realized what any easy way to get on top in this tribe as it would be, even if some of the people were more likely to occupy the "top spots".

7. Logan - I don't know what he does here. People joke about how he's "kind of dumb" and all, and he has some charm. However, outside of him making jokes in SG, I really can't care much about him. I want to, but I can't.

8. Curt Connors - Nick Fury is gone, and like, your story arc could end right now, honestly. This isn't going to be so much about him, but something I don't like. I remember Bella's FTC when people had the gall to ask her to explain her shtick, and I'm like "wtf, you morons, that's so annoying". Well, he beat everyone to the punch by saying that he only acts like an idiot or whatever in PMs. Ok, that is really weird, because shouldn't it be the other way around?

9. Silver Surfer - I can put up with his wacko antics when he doesn't care that much a lot of times, as a player or host. However, that really seems to be all there is to him here. Losing him is not a loss, and that's sad even saying that on this tribe.

Ahh, my favorite boring tribe that booted the inactive self-voter! :lol: I wish he could have had more fun here, but he didn't really get a chance to have fun because either he was really so much "I can't really play right now" that he just fucked shit up so bad, or he was that clueless. Yeah. However, going forward, there's potential drama over the most unexpected people?

1. Kurt Wagner - Kurt is fun, and he can randomly post something that will even make me crack a smile. Now, I hate that he's so in ~anguish~ about things that are going on. I really hate seeing or being involved in tribes when there are huge fights over which inactive people will keep around. I think he'll be able to spin out of this and land on his feet, but I understand his position on the upcoming shit... to some degree.

2. Jean Grey - ...and to some degree, I don't. If Wade misses tomorrow night and you people lose twice, really, Wade shouldn't survive. Sorry, I know he's been solid socially with a few, but the major alliances here don't really involve Wade, and if he's not going to even be able to make it, do you want to drag him through? So her uproar may be a little overblown, since she can't even fathom how anybody would like him, are they going to get further by having someone that will do 0 for the tribe each round? Someone that if he shows up could play an idol? Jean hasn't been too OTT (yet), and seems to be keeping that mostly in confessional, so I'm glad to see her trying to keep a level head and I'm rooting for her.

3. Pepper Potts - Pepper has been great overall and in a prime spot on this tribe. I'm not a fan of the ID shit that is going on, but besides that, she's probably not taking a shot here for a while because she's well positioned enough. I don't know if any of the people that fancy themselves as being at the top here don't have her in the top 3, so keep working that, ok?

4. Sebastian Shaw - He's not the most exciting person, but he's really done well at keeping up and fitting himself in with the others that will occupy the core of the tribe. I have no idea of his opinion of Wade, who has become ~controversial~ lately, but I don't think he's catching heat. Anyway, he's had a few zingers, and this certainly is going to be a tribe that may on paper struggle to get into top 3, but if he plays it right, he can ride it out. Has he already made it more rounds than the last two times in your games?

5. Hobgoblin - Yeah, I don't remember what he changed to (I just did!), but I'm giving him a bump because I wonder if he's going to be able to pawn off challenge performance and all. The "win" tonight was nothing to sing about, but nonetheless, he went to people during the day and told people that he is good in challenges, and backed it up. Socially, however, people just don't like him, and really, he's not been memorable other than that. If he can keep doing at least above average in challenges and step things up, there may be hope for him, but who knows?

6. Norman Osborn - This round was like nothing for him. He's not going to make himself important to people by challenge skillz (tm), but could do it with social ability. The problem here is he seems stuck here with a ceiling of 5, and that's not even a certain thing. Maybe if surveying everyone, he'd get 5th overall, but if he doesn't make it to 5th on this tribe (with or without item shenanigans), I wouldn't be surprised. He just hasn't seemed to *click* well enough to ensure that no matter what he would be at least 5th.

7. Wade Wilson - I enjoy Wade in his SG. Other than that, he seems to write like hella long PMs to some people, and has won a few people over. However, I just don't think that if that's all he has to offer it will last long, nor do I think it should. I wish I could see him trying to kill a game here, but it really seems like he has limited expectations for himself and is just going to play up to that level.

8. Matt Murdock - Yeah, I'm getting tired of the typing stuff. He's really essentially disposable here, but would he be? I don't know. One or two seem to want to spare him til Tuesday at least, but what do they really expect to earn from keeping him around? He's decided to lay it on this way and just give him few outs.

9. Gwen Stacy - Gwen apparently is too busy with finals or something? I don't know. Good luck with that and all, but I can't wish you luck in this game because I have little reason to. Sorry, not sorry.

Idris Elba left, and I didn't mind him, but that's not a huge loss, sorry. They went through a mess last night, and it will probably get worse before it gets better. Frankly, I could see this tribe trying to cockblock people on items just so others can't use them. Wouldn't that be something?

1. Loki - As much as some people "identify" him as the reason this tribe was a shitshow from the very start (pre-pickem), he doesn't seem to catch much heat. If there is to be a move against him on this tribe soon, I don't see it forming yet, nor would I have any idea where it would come from, so gj? 2nd and 1st, back to back? Ugh, gross! I now hate myself.

2. White Queen - Hooray for more changes! From what I can gather, she's been able to fit in quite well in this stupid as fuck tribe. I kind of wish she'd kept things up in public more, but I'm fine with her just handling business at home here. Is there reason to go after her soon? I think she's apparently done a fine job assimilating on this fucking group, and I'll be rooting for her.

3. Benjamin Grimm - He seems to be somewhat in a similar position as Loki, in that they shouldn't go after him, but has been connected well enough from top to bottom. Sure, he's a bit dry, but his head is working a million miles a second and has bought himself plenty of leeway here. Now, don't write 2000 words saying that "everything is the same" in confessional, or I'll kill you, and hate you, in some order.

4. Johann Schmidt - I think he's relatively unfazed by the votes this past round, and why should he care? I think there's enough backlash at some of the other bullshit that they'll just keep targets 1a-1c that are so locked in that he shouldn't have to worry.

5. Bobby Drake - Did you see his last confessional? I had to look up who it was again just to make sure! :o I'm worried about him in the next couple days because there are people that adore this guy, and he seems to be doing the right things with the right people, because some of them will shut shit down the moment someone brings up his name. He may not be an all-around star, but he's picking his friends well, it seems.

6. Reed Richards - I don't know. Again, he is not doing anything to make me not like him, and is playing things smart when he could have been targeted just because of character. He's just not "clicking" with me here. Maybe it's more by comparison to other games and I'm expecting more dazzle? This tribe could be spared a round, maybe two, and that would go a long way for him. I just see him as someone that has some connections here and there, but isn't quite a top guy on a stacked tribe like this unfortunately. I don't know what he needs to do. I like the effort he's putting in, but I'd be lying if the visual confessionals don't drive me crazy b/c I can't like quote a single line without having to type it out a quote to ask about. I have a shitload of confessionals. Sue me for being lazy and not wanting to.

7. Yuriko Oyama - alol, she thinks she's being such a mess, and maybe she is, but it doesn't really show that much. I guess maybe activity levels, she may think she's been down? I know she's kind of sloughed off being too proactive in alliance making and all, but is picking up steam. However, she's going to need more, because a kind word isn't going to do a whole hell of a lot for too long here. At least the last 24 hours she "proved" herself, for what that's worth.

8. Susan Storm - I really don't remember shit about Susan this past round. There was a big confessional, and it was decent, but there's still the stink because I don't like a lot of her should-be allies. I also don't know what that one line about voting out your friends, when we were talking about round 1. Um, I assume that was just about being social enough that people think you're they're friend, but it came off so shady. She may be able to incorporate herself more in this team, at least without #9, but considering the rapid fire of these boots, that may be trickier. She's put a bunch into the game, but I only really have the lingering memories of such ridiculous hubris.

9. Vincent Von Doom - I don't want to hate you, and I don't really hate you, but I hate the way you've gone about basically everything since the tribes were made. Congrats on the idol, but I think that was way more damaging going for that than you intended. He could have just eased into alliances and whatnot, but instead was so cray about getting those groups, and then so awkwardly pressing to people that it was enough to drive like 3/4 of the tribe crazy. If he'd have played it cool, fucked off the idol that you don't even have anymore, getting in a decent spot on this tribe wouldn't have been as difficult as it may have seemed. Instead, now, you're relying on playing the arc refractor or w/e and hoping someone doesn't beat you to it.


Posted Image
And then we get to this. I can't even start with that last round. I don't even want to talk about what's to come.

1. Professor X - Well, we got what we expected, and it's really hard to not take his side. Oh, sure, some other players trolled about it, but yeah. However, I worry about him being reckless. His plan of losing every challenge and then winning every individual one? Look, my hat's off to you, but damn, don't go into that mode just yet. Please. Even though I think you'd slay any of them anyway.

2. Scott Summers - Private meltdowns aside, he was quick to pick his ass up and at least try to do anything that would try to find a way to ingratiate himself to the others. Well, the thing is, what chance does he really have? Not little. He's still 3rd target tonight. I don't know if there's a whole hell of a lot he can do outside of items. Sorry for having to deal with idiots.

3. Raven Darkhölme - I thought a long time of where to put her, and that's why I saved these people for last. I put her this high because you know what? She seemed like a human being. She didn't have to do that shit, could have played an item (or Hank playing an item). I don't know if she was seriously clueless about Vanko's vote or not, but it reminds me of when Victoria (Twilight) voted out one of her top allies because she didn't know the votes were there. She's probably going to take a beating, and yeah, it's deserved. I said yesterday or the day before that if she crosses that threshold, she would regret it, and well... she's going to have to deal with it.

4. Ivan Vanko - Yeah, he's kind of sucky, but he's at least funny about it. I'm really hoping that something through him can work out, or at least be tried, because he has legit nothing to lose at this point. He has to know he's not surviving the double round, so I hope he plays hard.

9. The rest - A threat... at final fucking 50? Holy fuck, let's look back 2.5 years and Bobbery is vindicated.


That's all.

Holy shit, that took me way too long. Thankfully in 24 hours, it will be down to like 20 people, right?

I love how hopeless lost and insane Jane is. She is in my top 15 no doubt.

I'll do top 5 and bottom 5 just so I can feel like I contributed:

1. Kurt Wagner
I don't exactly know why I love him in this so much right now but I just find that he's so intuned with what is going on and he's just so damn likeable.

2. Johan Schmidt
It was weird to see him get votes but that tribe, while it has some serious stars, is probably a little too spontaneous. His pseudo-German makes me laugh too.

3. Emma Frost
Hasn't been a huge presence as of yet but this whole "group" of Johan, Emma and Loki is incredible and her early move against Vincent was super hot.

4. Steve Rogers
Yeah, he's great. As someone who has never seen him play, I'm impressed with his poise. His indecisiveness may get tiring soon but right now, he's doing great.

5. Loki
I know how good he is and this could be partially because I love the alliance so much but I do like how FT is embracing the Loki character more than I've seen him do character-play before. He's having fun with it.

Bottom 5:

41. Von Doom
I appreciate him ironically because he's so bad and so delusional and I guess good on him for using his idol and not sitting on it when he rightfully felt nervous but still hard to watch.

42. Silver Surfer
Gnarls is usually hit or miss with more hits but this is bland.

43. Gwen Stacey
I forgot she was in the game until right now.

44. Justin Hammer
this guy bugs me

45. Azazel
He's annoying and cocky and perhaps I'm just sad because of what he did to cards since I should give him credit for having at least some pull but he's so very unlikable. His apology for not being active over last afternoon was cringeworthy.

I like the idea of top 5 bottom 5 for now. Although if you're getting tired of Captain America's indecisiveness already, I can't imagine him being in your top five after this alol.

[align=center]
◄ TOP 5 ►

#1: Spider-Man
He seems to be playing well, is some what in character and isn't holding back. He could easy play more utr or more "take a back seat" and be fine, but he's choosing to be aggressive and I like it. Played the HII perfectly and he makes me laugh. Go Peter! Aunt May is rooting for you!

#2: Loki
I just enjoy his ability to gain complete control. I'm liking this character especially because he is reveling in said power. His confessional is amazing and he's really handling everyone on his tribe perfectly. He is a threat and people know it, but he's too good to be noticed.

#3: Captain America
His confessional is my favorite. So well laid out, so easy to follow his through process. Spn is just so likable to me and his very blasé attitude works here. I hate the position he is in where he has put himself in a great position but is almost too well connected and it might blow up in his face. I'm sure he will work through it but he's been great so far.

#4: Mystique
I just think she has the most interesting story so far. Getting heart-fucked is a tough thing to go thru sometimes, and being heart fucked so hard by someone as they are leaving is interesting to watch. She is ready to flip on her alliance and might throw her nice position away just becuase she felt so bad for what she did. So ~intense~ I can't wait to see where her story goes.

#5: Cyclops
Omw, I didn't expect this, but it's how I feel. Scott has been basically punched in the strategic mouth so far by his tribe but he hasn't quit. He is for sure trying in this game and he's trying to make the best of his situation. His confessional is really candid and very smart actually. I like madhack in the likable underdog role and I don't think I've ever seen him like this? I hope he can somehow survive to the swap but sadly I don't see it.


◄ BOTTOM 5 ►

41. Harry Osborn
I actually like most of these people but I'm trying to think of one thing memorable about him and I cannot. He did win that challenge!

42. Doom
Still not sure why this guy is cocky at all. I don't see how he can't see the writing on the wall right in front of his face. And him lecturing Wade in the SG is so cringe worthy. I look forward to his confessions though b/c I face palm about 100 times while reading.

43. Curt Connors
I would normally think Curt is a goddess but he just doesn't give a lot. He is hilarious when he's hear though, I guess I wish I could see him give a shit and still be kinda funny.

44. Gwen
Bye! Thanks for playing.

45. Silver Surfer
I hope you don't realize you are on the bottom. He isn't funny, which is usually a Gnarls specialty. He says he's busy though so I get it.[/align]

Ok, since I did more thoughts in the round thread already, this will be briefer.

Posted Image
Yeah, I still have nothing to say about those others. Odin just goes poof and people actually potentially make plans around him self-voting. The other 4, I just can't bother with. I just am on the verge of vomiting when they're all trying to act all kumbaya now when I know how they've been the whole game.

1. Charles - Well, I think last night may have bought him safe passage off this wretched team.

2. Raven - Curt Connors as the first one? Well... ok. She shouldn't explain herself though. Let the retards be confused.

3. Ivan - As a player, I have little thought on him here. However, at least he's not so dull as some of these others.

4. Scott - I really can hardly remember him from the last 24 hours at all.


Posted Image
Yeah, general feelings of apathy here as a collective unit. That's not to say that they have no shot at success in the future, because some of them definitely will. How to rank these people though?

1. Anna
2. Ororo
3. Bruce
4. Remy
5. Natasha
6. Logan
7. Curt
8. Eddie

Eddie really thinks that besides the girls he's in the best spot? Oh, silly silly boy. I had to move Curt up because of his self deprecating comment in confessional.


Posted Image
Sure, I don't think anybody expected them to dominate challenges or anything, but have they just been terrible? Or are they ruined by weak links? Well, they still have 2 of them, and Emma/Johann/Bobby aren't going to be able to cover for them well enough.

1. Johann - Only because I had been wondering what he was going to do as Skull.

2. Loki - Sure, it was only Dr. Doom (lol), but if people don't think he's one of the biggest and most important voices on this tribe, like... wow. Does he really have people that duped, or is it just delusional Dr. Doom?

3. Emma - Still in a perfect spot, still winning an occasional challenge, and still under absolutely no pressure, yet. One thing I wonder though is what of her relationships outside of this team? I laughed when she joked about the Revenge maze and counting fuckups.

4. Bobby - I don't even remember how he got so in this group, but he's firmly in there. I don't know if it's more of a 2&2, or if that would even matter though.

5. Grimm - He absolutely should make the weekend, and he may have some extra options then.

6. Susan - Eh, the moment when she realized she is basically powerless in this game, it seems like things just powered down. She may be able to make the weekend, but that would pretty much require this team wins tonight.

7. Yuriko - Yeah, I have no idea what's going on with her and it's all "well, I am soon to go, I have no alliances, not even fake ones", etc. She's just a depressing figure here and even though I think someone reached out with some fake alliance to her (lol, doing that the day before it's announced that there will be 4 returnees), I'm pretty sure she's next to go.


Posted Image
Tonight could be a big night. I'm still confused by some of the shit going on here though.

1. Rogers - Yeah, until someone else gives me reason to bump him down, he gets this spot by like default. wtf, this is 3 rounds in a row? Ugh. Kill me. Oh wait, I don't need to say that. He's been giving me death threats for some time anyway. What I don't get about this guy is probably a semantics issue, but he said something about his side alliance with Elektra and Johnny which is very real. Well, my issue is with the wording, I suppose. Because there's another "real" alliance which that is conflicting with. Is one a bailout plan essentially, or what? I am just a bit confused, unless the notion of that and part that isn't conflicting is if a vote is pushed on to Tony instead of either of those two. Yeah, wtf, I said I was doing short entries this time!

2. Parker - Yeah, kind of part of this is in anticipation for tonight if they lose. I joked that so many times, it seems like t18 with a Spidey avatar (just read that SG, for instance), and he's absolutely going to lose his shit tonight if they boot MJ. I don't think they'll take a shot at him because some of those people in the middle wouldn't go for that and then well... Wednesday he would have 4 ways to be immune. :wtf

3. Thor - I actually quite enjoy the way he's apparently confusing the fuck out of people. It makes me laugh, and really, after Rogers, whom everyone there knows is untouchable, isn't Thor the next closest thing?

4. Doc Ock - Wait, did he actually write a confessional? He should be ok here, right? If anybody from that side takes a hit it's MJ, and then Rogers/Thor wouldn't dare fuck over Spiderman... again. After all, he should be more important to them than Johnny.

5. Elektra - I actually don't think I want to see her leave tonight if for no other reason than I don't want to see the meltdowns. Sure, she'll even be a handful even if she isn't targeted!

6. MJ - She and Elektra are fairly interchangeable though, with the difference of me preferring Elektra from her side and others from MJ's side. As I said before, I just cannot get wholly invested here.

7. Johnny - He was going to get last, but then I thought someone said that he hasn't been as lazy lately? Well, next week with that format, he'll probably only show up for challenges. :(

8. Tony - He's so awful, and on top of that, he's an idiot.


Posted Image
My friends! At least they're doing a good job taking out the trash thus far.

1. Kurt - He's light and entertaining without coming off as trying too hard and has made the best of a shit tribe this whole way. However, I do possibly worry about him tomorrow.

2. Jean - I don't know what she has in store here, but ugh if that somehow means strongarming somehow to get Gwen to next week. Jean's been doing well, and with some of these distractions out of the way like Wade, there's less chance of her freaking out.

3. Pepper - Same stuff as before. In a good spot, not going anywhere, blah blah.

4. Sebastian - Basically same as Pepper.

5. Norman - Has he dropped the shtick? I rarely see it anymore it seems, except maybe briefly in a confessional, whenever he does those.

6. Harry - Yeah, he's won some challenges, but they're at the point where he's nothing but a potential challenge threat, so he may be gone, possibly even blindsided tonight.

7. Gwen - I can understand people have exams and shit, but like, she's basically just here to be dragged. After all, she can be taken out any time, as they say, and that's kind of true.

omw, there's only 35 left? YAY!

Let me start with my friends!!!

Posted Image
As I said in the round blog, this could actually be an interesting round. I think it will get sorted out, but the working until the vote actually happens could be interesting. Some have already spoken about taking out someone "big" (the implication being Jean?) but some are set on "Fuck this, an Osborn must die". I don't even know how Bloodties and shit may factor into this, but lol @ this tribe not even being able to play superpowers because they're down to 6. I love my tribe, making things easy on me!!!!

1. Kurt - I do always over-fantard for him in games, right? Well, this is only the second time I've co-hosted him. My winner pick bit the dust, even though that was a hasty pick and I put no thought into it, but he's my new one? OMG I am probably dooming him like the last time I picked him as a winner pick. I'm so sorry in advance! Really though, I like that he's open-minded here and yeah, there are easy things to do here, and they probably will do it.

2. Sebastian - Kind of similar to Kurt in the sense that it's eye opening to see someone being more open-minded than I thought people would be about this. Like, come on. You're at 6. One of the "other 2" can be immune at all, but I don't think a move would be that repulsive. I would be sad however it goes if it comes to it, but really, having a 3x winner possibly with you if you land in a minority with them? People may just assume that the whole tribe sucks (lol), or he's good enough and not social enough that he has to go. Getting Pepper on board and pulling it off would be easy as fuck, because even if Kurt is not for it, done deal, 4-2.

3. Jean - She's still holding strong, and is holding her ground. I really don't any of my friends on purple to go, omg! I could live with Harry going, because he'd stand a chance at least for a while on RI, but I don't want to see her get smothered by the winners and winners of duels. I am so conflicted because I want them all to find a way! omg is this how sp claims to feel? UGH I'm not even taking groups and whatnot into play, but I do want to see Jean make it there. She's been great and fun to watch. They would have to blindside the SHIT out of her, and she doesn't deserve that, so sorry, Osborns, I like you in your own ways, but I am really hoping for Jean's safety.

4. Pepper - This was a mild round for her, but not a bad round. I just find that she's not an "interesting character" this round (as if the rest of my rankings will be based on the same criterion). If she managed to get booted, I would have no words, because it would take a MASSIVE uprisal, and still I don't think it would be at her at all. Just... enjoy the spot and you can hope that I'm not jinxing you by saying how safe you are.

5. Norman - I really like Norman and I would love to see him make it through, but this is major trouble. His best bet at survival is something that is realistic, and having Kurt or Shaw beating Harry in the challenge, and his son going. Oh right, except they haven't been able to do SHIT yet. As much as I think that he can stand a shot here, I think he may be the lamb to slaughter if his son wins. He just never was able to penetrate that core, and even from his end, didn't even seem to have much of an alliance within them. Honestly, I don't know.

6. Harry - That's the thing. Do I want him on RI, where he can possibly beat people that I like there right now or people that are bound to be there? That's the tough question. Evidently, he's been more talkative lately, but some of the comments even after that are funny to me. If he doesn't win immunity and then gets the boot, I mean.... ok. Considering the other options, it's just right. Sorry.


Posted Image
My new friends! Oh, they probably hate me, because I wasn't Aunt May! I'm so sorry! MJ going I still have mixed feelings about, but yeah.

1. Parker - Yeah, this is him with a Spidey avatar at this point probably. I won't always reward such a thing, but the venom (oops, he was booted) that is spewing from his pores is good, but also sad to see. I hope that he can knock some sense into these people, because everything they want to do is wrong.

2. Rogers - Whatever, you dropped to #2, bite me. I keep him here only because I think he's done a good job staying out of the explosion. I still don't understand it all because well... I'm on Parker's side on this. Sorry. However, I'm prepared to be rolling my eyes at him when he completely severs his tie with Parker, who will put most of his eggs in his basket, and would be better to have than some others that have so so much more baggage.

3. Otto - Yeah, he kind of lands here by default this round. He seems like a potential "sacrifice" and I don't know if he has items or whatnot, but I look at him as that puppy chained to the railroad tracks. His thread is kind of lol b/c I don't know if he was, but it looks like he was going to be mostly all about Spidey shit. On this tribe, it looks like he could just get devoured.

4. Elektra - Besides bothering me with the stuff about when she can be online or not, she's basically harmless, which is kind of good enough for a spot this high? Honestly, I have no idea about her in terms of this team. There's that stuff with Rogers and obviously with Johnny, but is she a flight risk? Maybe not necessarily, but the fact is she has friends elsewhere, so it may not be an overt flip, but she has too much company elsewhere. I guess that's a good thing. She may get a 2nd item as well, as I think she's one of the two teams standing, and since nobody will open their eyes, she'll probably get it. I guess good job.

5. Thor - He's kind of trolly, but not really so. I don't know how to describe him. The thing about him is that he's just... slimy, and people realize it. I may have said this last round, where someone (Tony?) made a comment about Thor and Loki being mixed up in accounts because Thor was acting a "trickster". Rogers said it himself, but Thor is basically the same. Have your cake, eat it too. He's wanting too much, he's reaching too far, and he's giving off bad vibes all around. The lies that he tells are not the truth. He's actively throwing potential allies under the bus (whatever, it's mostly Tony), and it's just a disaster waiting to happen.

6. Johnny Storm - I have no problem with him sticking up for Elektra, making sure that one of his best allies is safe. No problem at all. I just still feel that he's so insular that it's only enough to get him to the next stage when well... you're welcome. He hasn't overtly pissed me off, at least.

7. Tony Stark - Ugh... If the people that would be willing to vote you out (basically the majority of the tribe) didn't hate/mistrust eachother, you would be gone tonight. No, you'll probably win the challenge, and I'll vomit.

Oh, you guys! So, since the other day when Remy was spilling secrets, there has been like literally nothing to talk about. You guys are amazing.

1. Bruce - I don't know if it's in his confessional or SG, but he seems into it, posting his thoughts, and really, I would be disappointed if he gets taken out this round, but they're getting to a weird point here.

2. Anna - Congrats on the win! I don't know. I think she gets a default top 3 because literally nobody is going to do something that will dazzle me enough to knock some people out of those top spots.

3. Ororo - She's definitely in the game, and I find it interesting hearing about her from others, or maybe things that she's said to others that get spread around. She seems like a busy bee, even if I can't necessarily see it. :bz

4. Remy - Why not?

5. Natasha - Sure

6. Logan - He made fun of Grimm with me in their SG.

7. Curt - He's really lost steam and until he made a random comment in the past 24 hours, I forgot he was still here other than Raven.


Posted Image
omw, the same # of people as last time? What were you thinking, idiots? There's little to say, so I will say little!

1. Emma - Yes, dear! This is your time in the top spot, congrats!

2. Johann - I asked for a confessional and you actually wrote one. GJ!

3. Loki - Sorry, you're #3 this time, no fault to your own.

4. Yuriko - Random, maybe, but is this bitch somehow going to make her way off this tribe?

5. Bobby - You haven't responded to me. Asshole

6. Benjamin - Do you really go and change the board settings to 30 posts per page then whine about autoplay? What's wrong with you?

7. Susan - I don't hate her. I just hate what possibly she'll join up with if she survives tonight.

Hello, my other friends! I should spend more time with some of you, though I do spend time with some of you!

1. Charles - Call me biased. Say I'm holding a grudge. Say I'm holding a grudge because I'm biased. I refute all of these, because frankly, it's not about this starting because one of my friends got screwed. It could have been someone else that I'm not particularly close to, and I would hate those people for pulling a stunt for that reason. I don't know about his bulldozer approach with his tribe, and don't know if it worked, but yeah. Oh, he also sent me a PM to thank me for fixing a tag for him unprovoked. I'm such a kind host. Really though, I haven't a clue what comes tonight, but I'm hoping he does win just to remove doubt. They won't go for Scott, I don't think, and then they can just continue the mission.

2. Scott - I despise when people just post the PMs and are like "oh ok, read that", because like, at least label (or say who is whom, or bold key phrases or ANYTHING). Yeah, he doesn't do that, but I've been liking him here because I can ask a question and I'll get a direct answer. Now, I don't know how much he's cozied up with those foul creatures, but from what they purport, he would be target 3 maybe? So gj and stuff.

3. Raven - I'm not sure how I feel about the "ok, this is Raven talking" in blue text stuff. I wish she'd just go full on. Like come on, you love to ham it up, and you're only going 90%? That said, I'm glad to see her back on her feet. I still am sad because I'll be liking her and then I'll go to RI and see Hank and it's just... ugh. I just wish someone could maybe give him something that would maybe put him at ease. I don't think it would hep one iota, but I think he definitely needs something, but I don't even know who it could be from that he would trust or care to hear from.

4. Ivan - Ouch, you got that vote! Burn. So the plan seems to be to use item(s) to make sure he's safe this round in what could be a 4-4 tie. I still wonder if they could have got people to throw away enough votes last time without items to make sure that Clint or someone bit the dust and then Odin's upcoming 2 self votes could get a 2 for 1.


Now's when it get's tricky...

5. Justin - If I had no involvement or care about the game, I would probably laugh at some of the promises he's thrown out. The thing is, I know it's not sinister, but I do believe some stuff is well.... lost in translation. He's trying, and doesn't mean to be the way he's coming off, but think of it this way. If you could list 2 people to fill two spots that would either be the worst person for him to be in a SG with or the worst person to be in an opposing alliance with, this pair would be pretty high.

6. Erik - I read the stuff from other people and read the stuff said about him, and at least he seems pretty sharp and not Azezely. He seems to have a head on his shoulders, and while I haven't looked at the possibility of one round ahead, I wonder if he could have/should have taken a shot. If you're planning it possibly this round, why not this round? It's curious.

7. Clint - Oops, I actually kind of forgot about him. His new sig is nice, I guess?

8. Azazel - Honestly, I find it funny that people are worried about his "charm" or something, when everybody in the game pretty much knows that his shit stinks at this point. I roll my eyes when he tries to be chummy or w/e on the main boards the past couple days. It makes me cringe.

Hooray! Down to 30! I am even going to use avatars, and the mutant ones, because I like some of them a lot!

:cry my poor friends!!! :cry

Norman wasn't a huge presence, but I'll miss the guy. He really needed just one fucking win for this team any time, but they couldn't buy a win, and it sucks. I don't think he would have been a huge player here if he survived, but you never know the way things would have shaken down. He was a class act on the way out, and while I wish someone would have thrown him a pity vote, well... at least his son waited the longest time to vote.


Posted Image
1. Kurt (please power up soon! This avatar must not remain only in the admin sections!)

I think he's been the only one that has been a wire-to-wire #1 on any of the tribes for me, and probably the only one that would be a wire-to-wire top 5 game-wide if I did a comprehensive ranking. I know he didn't really want to have to do this vote, but ultimately it was the thing he had to do. His reactions in his confessional cracked me up, and oh yeah, it definitely cracked me up when he would be in the same thread as Raven and be like "no! I did not say that!" :lol:


Posted Image
2. Jean (omw, she got a makeover!)

I'm really rooting for 4/5 of her group on individual levels, but for some reason not as much as the collective? Well, at this point, they've got everything they need from each other anyway. I kind of laughed at her reaction to getting a vote, but yeah... she didn't really care. Now, if there were 2 votes against her, that would be another story, but nobody would have done that. I'll be curious to see what she does in the upcoming weekend, because she had friends that may still remember her, and has ties through her SG which gives her a leg up going into the next phase.


Posted Image
3. Pepper (oh, you at least get a new source!)

I get her reasoning and all, but that doesn't mean I have to be pleased with the result. We'll see how things go this weekend and all. I really don't remember who her friends were prior to the division. I just think a lot of this stuff that goes on in her head and in her confessional is stuff that would be like "whoa, that would be crazy", but "whoa, you know they'll back off it anyway". Do I think they should have been more worried about Jean than either of the Osborns? A part of me says yes. Just like Elektra (lol, Jean's SG partner!!!), Jean tried to go to a different tribe only to get closed out. For as analytical as Pepper has been at times, it's more interesting the things that she doesn't dwell on and the decisions for which she does. Yeah, I guess Harry may be an asset and all for you, but nowhere in the pre-game announcement were there things that implied that there would be shit where that will necessarily help you, like winning HoH would be. End of the day, Jean was her ally, Norman... kinda was, but he wasn't that high up, so I get it.


Posted Image
4. Sebastian (hey, isn't that Magneto's helmet? Oh wait...)

See now, I don't know much of him as a player, because I think I've only co-hosted him twice? Maybe 3x, idk. Regardless, the last round, he starts things off making it seem as though he's got huge plans and all, and they're unlikely to happen (in his mind) because of stuff he doesn't know. So they get shelved, and then the obvious course of action happens. I'm not saying I would have wanted Jean to go at all. It was just weird because such stuff seemingly got shelved pretty early. What does he have going into this next phase? That's hard to say. I think his group has all plans of their own, so unless he lands with them and maybe some past allies, I can see him possibly being swept away.


Posted Image
5. Harry (Well, he's basically worn this avatar for the whole game)

If there were BB, or a more classical version of Colo, I could see him being a pretty important piece here. Alas, he's not going to be of as much use to these people as they hope he will. I suppose he's nice enough and is social enough at times, but what is he going to be able to help these people (from this tribe) with in the future? I hate to discount his wins, but really, they need to be to some degree. This was a tribe where half of them would roll over and die in challenges, so it was easy pickings. Now, the fact that he's one away from the Tesseract? That could be an asset, but it could be a liability. I don't know if it's fair to criticize him too much here because really, how much is there to confess about when you're on a tribe like this, where the writing is on the wall so much for some people, or how much need is there to be spending a hell of a lot of time online hammering away PMs incessantly when things are so straight-forward.



Posted Image
Otto :cry I feel bad, because even though Thor is an idiot, I feel partially responsible for your elimination, even though that would have been a mistake, because of the 1 of each item rule. I guess I wish that he just went in there and rushed to vote like I guess Elektra did, because that clusterfuck was such a fucking mess. I don't even know where the rebound vote would have gone instead of Parker the way it worked out.


Posted Image
1. Parker (idk if he requested a second one, but I'm using this one in case it otherwise never gets used)

Remember early on in the game when he posted this about his SG?
Posted Image

Well the same can be said about his tribe. I have no idea how something like this could get so fucked up so bad. Would the result have been the same nonetheless? We'll never know. Regardless, he's managed to get out of that cesspool with his idol still in his hand, with a sceptre/arc reactor, so hey, what's the worst that can happen? OMG, not ARENA! I don't know if people will be bold enough to coordinate boots from all sides to get the strong to kill eachother or something like that, but I have faith in a potential alliance which may be something like, whoa:
Parker, Rogers, Schmidt, Loki, Xavier with a few other friends or something? Holy fuck. In terms of IDs, that's a terror squad right there. Now that he's away from those idiots and hopefully not with too many of them to stress him out, I hope he gets back into the flow this weekend.


Posted Image
2. Rogers (lol, I'm not laughing at the source, but at the character model/outfit in general)

I didn't know if he would hesitate on this vote, but apparently he remembered that supposed alliance with him, Otto, Parker, and Thor. Well, 3/4 followed through. As said above, it will be interesting to see if something like that can come together. He does have some options and I don't think he's burned any important bridges on his own tribe. What he needs to do in the upcoming several days is just scoop up the right people. He's apparently hit it off with Justin? :lol: Well, that won't go too far when Parker flips out about him and/or if Xavier is in an alliance with them and screams about him, but I'm utterly unsurprised if those two are getting along. I don't know if he has much with orange or purple, but who fucking cares if you have contacts in the three tribes that are either big or strong?


Posted Image
3. Elektra

I can't really fault her for stuff. It was her ass or his, simple as that. I think she got lucky there and all, but she's someone I just don't know about, and am worried about the fact that with her group getting an extra 5 that she may get self-absorbed when she barely made it out of this tribe. She's definitely dedicated and putting her "hart and sole" into the game, and I can appreciate it, but the choices thus far make me want to :robryan (well, at least the co-hosts here will get that).


Posted Image
4. Johnny (I like the avatar, will we see it soon?)

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just annoyed at the people below him enough that he defaults into this spot. Wow. Well, at least his spirits will be raised when he sees the next format, but he'll probably care even less about people when he sees that, because he'll be cocky as hell (and I'm not saying he shouldn't be) and even then is sitting here with a fallback of the Fantastic 4. Yeah, I don't even know what to say.


Posted Image
5. Thor (there's your hammer!)

I have no idea if that was on accident or on purpose. Either way, I'm still disappointed. I have liked Thor for being some sort of weirdo in this game that sometimes acts odd and out of place, and all, but I think the problem I have is that I even have to question if that was possibly a late vote on purpose. We've all seen people fuck over allies by self-voting, but this one just for some reason drives me crazy. Again, he may have lost the tie-breaker anyway, so maybe I'm making too big a deal, but the past sort of round or round and a half it's just like I see him slipping and this has future disaster written all over it.


Posted Image
6. Tony

I swear he probably spends the whole time just drawing up, redrawing the "where items, groups, tesseract pieces, etc are" lists. Wonderful. Yes, a ton of people are kind of OCD about that in this game, but it wouldn't surprise me if he does nothing but that stuff and trying to be a jokester on the boards. He offers little to nothing of interest to me, and man... I'm starting to regret the fact that I was hoping he wouldn't get booted in the first round 1 when it could have been a real option. Wow, good job, Stark. You basically got saved by Nick Fury being a crazy guy.


Posted Image
Yeah, this is "that tribe". They're probably more interesting than I give them credit for. They're strategic and have overlaying things, without being super-intense ,but that doesn't mean they are all afterthoughts and all. Curt though? After the first two rounds, I barely noticed the guy. I said that I could see his storyline basically ending once Nick was booted still rings true, and him going here was the best thing that could have happened. The right people survived this tribe.


Posted Image
1. Anna

Is she basically everyone's favorite on this tribe? Maybe not, but everyone seemed to want to be in some sort of alliance with her. She doesn't have an outward presence of having THREAT branded on her forehead. Sure, she won two individual challenges (I think?) but I believe most will write it off as "well, consider the fact that she's on that loser tribe!". I'm not entirely sure of her network here, but her being in that SG actually gives her some help, considering prior to the division, I doubt she was extended very far. I wouldn't be surprised to see her do well, even though people are already assuming the ID (though some are wrong).


Posted Image
2. Bruce

I always say something in games when I co-host him that I usually like to watch him when he's able to keep up with activity. Well, this was the PERFECT tribe to land on, and he's been great there. He's actually one of the few people on this tribe that at least had a lot of semi-decent connections prior to the division. I don't know how strong they were, and I don't know how many are still there, but if he can adapt, he may be alright. I'm so glad he didn't get burned tonight, and also glad that he didn't burn an arc tonight when not necessary. Now the next step will be to see if he doesn't get too overwhelmed on returning on Friday here.


Posted Image
3. Ororo (seeing those eyes reminds me of when people put eyeballs on the Storm avatar in PuPa's)

I have a hard time following her, but based on second-hand accounts, she is just fine. I don't know why she got paranoid and skipped the round, though. The only people that may have even thought she was somewhat "low" would be people that are already out and/or people that would have no voice. Will her allies be annoyed by that? Well, hard to say. She doesn't seem to be on Anna's level in terms of the complicated web in this tribe, but it's close.


Posted Image
4. Natasha

This is a perfect tribe for Natasha to have been on. She hasn't swept all the challenges, so doesn't come off as too much a threat, but also has had an easy way of being quite social in this group and it has worked to her credit. However, does she have ANYTHING besides these people? I suppose if she's separated from most of them, she may be approached as if she's a free agent and be able to do well. alol so much at the last two from that SG. Things could get good or get really bad very fast though for her.


Posted Image
5. Logan (omw, it's like the blades are in 3D, but then again, any avatar of that should make it seem like that.)

Yeah, I'm still unsure on him. He makes me laugh in his SG and all when he ribs on some of the others there, but that is like 75% of what I know of him. He has, however, fit in well within the Titan Organization and has done a good job of playing it cool without doing too much, as has been said. I just hope it's not going to take til like final fucking 16 for him to really turn up his game. For now, he probably can chill because I expect that people will yearn to basically "use" people from this tribe, and he'll sit back and let others get taken out in front of him.


Posted Image
6. Remy (omw, can I change to host as some mutant so I can get a fun avatar like that? I'm not complaining, but I luv)

Yeah, the whole, "Hey Natasha, I know we have an alliance of 6, but it's basically the 4 mutants and you guys" shit (I know it wasn't that ridiculous, but still) is so fucked up and if that costs him standing in the long term by some of the girls, he deserves it. He's definitely been playing well enough. People have mentioned comments like "remember when he was good?" and well, some of us saw it in Hexa's, even though he sometimes had some activity issues because of his own game. If he can get close to that form, he may be ok, but we'll see. He started strong, but seems to be more "settling" lately, from what I can tell.



Posted Image
Oh that poor girl! Was she someone that her elimination would cause me to punch myself in the face? No. Was she as bad as she thought she was when being a self-deprecating mess? No. I just think that strategically and alliance-wise, she was a lightweight, at least on a tribe like this. She was fun at times, wasn't fucking off the game like she thought we would think she was, and well, I don't know what sort of computer issues she may have had, but at least kept trying.


Posted Image
1. Loki (oh, there's the helmet!)

He goes back up there this round and really, people don't talk about worrying about him or "watch out for him" or shit like that. I suppose it helps when the people that know you are your allies and are generally strong enough in their own regards. So where does he go from here? I said somewhere WAY above about how I could see a certain alliance opening up that could be really effective if they're able to work it out. The worst thing that could happen to him is if he lands on a similar situation as his last tribe (even though I joked about that), because he should want to let a few people go for basically a week and reunite. It's not that big a deal. He can't be in a situation where he has to dump his friends a couple times here, even if they may hang around.


Posted Image
2. Emma

She's got a lot of support from old Green (though people are plenty aware of this) and her SG. I think she's possibly going to have to make a choice between them soon. Not necessarily on votes, but possibly on where she goes, or rather who she brings in. It's an enviable spot though because I believe she still has friends outside of those two circles as well. The thing is, I think she's probably not going to fit in with the guys (if that happens) and if she goes with the girls, she'll be a huge target there, so what do you do? I don't know. Wait and see. Oh wait, that's what I'm going to do, not what she should do.


Posted Image
3. Johann

I still lol @ this, and early on there seemed to be a movement to put him into a very interesting alliance that I've talked about quite enough already. The thing with that is that I don't even think he'll be the biggest concern, so his survivability could be pretty decent if shit hits the fan. I think the new phase and the new tribes coming is something that will re-light that fire under his ass because he'll have to get going once again rather than just "well, it's a, b, or c... we don't really need to talk about much more" in terms of how obvious things would be.


Posted Image
4. Bobby

I didn't even realize he missed tonight, but that's because I hang out in the tribes mostly! Bobby is someone that would have been in a great spot if they were sticking those tribes out longer and possibly got mutineers (lol, who am I kidding, nobody would go there, just like nobody would go to Naboo). I think the problem is that I see him getting left behind. He may be dragged along, but I think the connection is going to wane unless he's with the right people.


Posted Image
5. Susan

I've said she's lost some gusto from the point when she realized "oh wait, I'm not actually running the game?" and just trying to survive. She gets this spot because I noticed her SG (of all 2 people). Yes, most people were realizing that "something" was coming up but it seems like 2/3 of the groups are like "oh, well, if we can work together, let's do it, agreed?" and that was it. She was one that actually really has tried to do a lot with that. I didn't really read it, but it was nice to see such discussion, so I'll give her some credit even though I don't really care about her that much, and I hope she mutates soon.


Posted Image
6. Benjamin

He won that challenge? That was unexpected. I think he's in a spot where he can make new friends, but this isn't one of those games where I can really be excited about him in, thus far at least. I really think he's someone that is unfortunately going to be left behind, and he's going to basically have to go back to stage 1, even though he probably sent all 49 people at least 8 messages prior to the division.


Posted Image
Oh, they got rid of that thing? Sweet. I laugh at all the "BUT IT IS BEFORE A SWAP!" Bullshit, the three of them (Charles, Scott, and Raven) either have friends, or will have sympathizers, so yeah. Fuck that. They would have been just as split anyway, except now they have a potential number in Vanko if they can swing it. Was it personal? Well, if one of your top allies were taken out for retarded reasons when there would be FORTY FUCKING FIVE people remaining after the round, wouldn't you be pissed? Was it stupid? Not by a long shot. Those people weren't the types they could have worked with long or even short term, and it basically chopped their legs off.


Posted Image
1. Charles

Sorry Kurt, I was wrong! :cry You'll have to share the title of being #1 for your respective tribe every round. Additionally, Charles may have been my (never done) comprehensive ranking. It's a joy to see someone be able to dish out revenge when someone fucked one over for no real reason other than wanting to be an egomaniac, so I'm glad it worked out, even though I was terribly worried that somehow it would be a disaster. He seems to have found a new ally in Parker which will probably make them both overcome with rage when sharing war stories and planning together, but work it.


Posted Image
2. Raven

If Hank only knew. I don't think he'll ever forgiv, but I think at least he'll be happy that she at least tried to make up for things. The weekend will be tough for her with the travel schedule and all, but I think she's having a lot more fun now and oh yeah... she spent a Hulk Smash to get a new set of items? Oh no! I do hope that she keeps up with the shifting and doesn't get lazy with it. Don't let me down!


Posted Image
3. Scott

So yeah, I don't like the character of Cyclops really at all, but Scott has generally made me forget about it. He just needs to maintain his composure, but he can't wholly count on this group because chances are, they're going to be scattered to the wind. For a time, I thought maybe he could possibly just give up, pack it in, and just go for self-preservation, but I love that he stuck to his guns and by them and found a way for this to work out.


Posted Image
4. Ivan

alol, you crazy fuck. Yeah, you're "inactive" in the sense that you don't make it to challenges, but would you rather have someone on "stupid russian phone" fucking up the challenge or someone that will spend the time between challenges helping things out? Yeah, it could have been a liability, but wasn't. I looked back at his pre-vote from a couple rounds ago and laughed when he ranked the whole tribe, and I'm glad he's breathing life into this character.


Posted Image
5. Erik

Yeah, I don't really know how I feel about these last 3. Sucka got served, and I think he'll get over it, but if he gets lumped in as a "FoA" (Friend of Azazel), that is like getting sprayed by a fucking skunk. He also seems like one of the savvier ones of the 3 there, who at least is trying to think about stuff, but in the end, if it comes down to those guys, he may be "too smart for his own good" and need to go before he can try to collect a goat army.


Posted Image
6. Justin (alol this makeover, but congrats on it!)

That SG is just hilarious but I feel bad for him because as much as Parker may fake, there is NO way they'll work together, outside of him using and discarding him. The plan to boot Johann so that Rogers gets an idol? Yeah, first of all, Rogers doesn't really want one that much, at least not now, Rogers is actually friends with him, and it's totally incompatible with what may come together. I understand where he's coming from, but he spouted out these ideas without knowing anything about the other relationships and if he doesn't play his idol soon, I think he's going to leave the game with it.


Posted Image
7. Clint (look, there, you have your quiver at least!)

Early on I took an interest in him, but he's gradually been declining in my eyes. It's not so much that he got his way in that first thing, but I guess I generally haven't been fond of the way he's gone about it. I really can't place what specifically, but I think he was the one that worried about Raven and possibly Erik, but didn't do anything about it, like trying to strike up much with the others. He could have very easily been blindsided at some point, and was even left out of the Odin boot? He probably mostly gets a bad rap by association, but he hasn't done a lot lately to fix his individual reputation.

[/align]

Holy fuck, how did I do that, and how long did I spend on that? I think I watched two movies while writing that all. :cry

So I haven't been able to do one because I've just been really sick and barely able to make it to host TCs and shit.

What a weird tribe. They go from what could be a crazy tribe, to a simple tribe, to yet another simple tribe. That's the best way I can sum it up. Vanko has joined them, and I have no idea how that will work out. My guess is not so well, even if he gets a single round of safety.


1. Parker - I'm not sure. Has he done anything particularly great this round? Or am I just laughing at the little things he does and like them? It's probably the latter. I'm probably putting him this high because I read through too much of his SG again.

2. Charles - I am SO looking forward to this inclusion of Ivan because this is not a situation that is prime for him. Yes. It is another ally, but it is an ally that he can't protect for a while and he has to know it. I like Ivan, but Charles has to know he has to cut him soon, and it will be an understandable move.

3. Raven - I'm elated that she's got a second shot at life here, and even though she would have hated me if she lost on the redo, she could have also put blame on Parker! (lol). Really though, I'm glad she's been able to fit in here and seems to be getting in with the guys and hopefully not just being as Charles's gf.

4. Rogers - He's just doing what he does, no harm done. Ho hum. This is sp101

5. Johann - It's actually similar to Rogers, except Rogers posts more confessionals and judging by things seems to be a person more to keep an eye on. I like you, but I think you need to morph (by winning a challenge) soon, because you're just treading water.

6. Thor - I just randomly find him hilarious. It's not the big things he does, it's just the little things. I don't even know where to point them out, but I have in the past. Like when he acts all stoic about going into the arena or when he wins. This is lovely, so weird, so... idk Thor-y? It just works for me.

7. Bruce - I rank Bruce low and if he sees this, he'll probably think that me and the others hate him. It could not be further from the truth. In fact, we want Bruce to do well and love everything he's done. He just happens to be on this fucking tribe. I do worry about his chances of getting off this tribe, but he still could, and having an itemless person join doesn't hurt. Don't worry, buddy. We're rooting for you. Maybe not your side early on here, but you as an individual for sure!

8. Ivan - Hey, I'm glad my komrade came here, but I'm also worried. I'm glad because he'll at least have friends and won't be miserable. I do worry he'll be back in the arena soon, but we'll see.

9. Johnny - Yes, he's last on this tribe this round. That said, I'm starting to come around here. He has that douchebag charm where I still want to punch him, but I want to laugh along with him that makes me think "eh, whatever". I find it weird that he tried to make himself so hated, but may actually even avoid the entire arena? Like, wasn't that your goal?

10. Remy - Shape up, or ship out. Seriously.



I'll do the rest later.


Posted Image
Who are these people? Hmm...

1. Pepper - I think she's done a good job and well, it's also landed her in this precarious spot. I wish I'd have been spending more time chatting with her, but she'll understand that I've been sick and barely responded to anything the last 2 days. I do really like how even though the items were a bust and she was backed against a wall, somehow, things may look ok? We'll see.

2. Sebastian - I like Sebastian a lot when it can be quick 1-2 question/answer back and forth. That unfortunately requires both of us to be able to do that, and it's not always possible. He dodged a major bullet this past round, and I'm not even sure where the votes came from on most people. He has plans, and I'm really hoping they pan out, because he's been basically the "countdown to death" thing for a while here. He may not get out of it, but he has a good shot, and I'm hoping it works for him.

3. Ororo - This is low and really low, because she could be easily number one, so she'll get that kind of praise even in this spot, since I have said as much with other hosts. Early on, I really didn't think much because it was basically "meh, Titan, you can sleepwalk to F6", but she really was good the last several rounds there and since the swap. For her game, she knows what she needs to do, and it's with people that have been waiting for her to accept. We'll see if it happens. Just do it.

4. Benjamin - He drives me crazy some times, but I love the fact that he kind of hit himself on the head and realized he was getting sucked into some group he shouldn't be with and could never get out of, and snapped out of it. He, along with Ororo looking to say "fuck that" is the best they can do now. I was really worried that he was going to be far too locked into that deal, but proud of him for considering options outside and trying to go that way.

5. Erik - I kind of feel bad putting him this low because he's been good, and this round and last doesn't give me reason to hate or anything. I'm just really hoping that he picks up on the "if one of the goes, I could be next" thing. He doesn't want to go the other way. The sad thing is, I think he's fucked even if he does that, unless he can get them to boot Susan. If he can, damn, good job. He really needs to, because that would give him his best spot going forward into the next phase. Easy for someone like me to say, I know.

6. Susan - I don't hate you. I just don't like your aura. I don't like what your plans are either. If I have to root against you, I will, even if I don't necessarily want to, but I am given little choice.

7. Elektra - Remember how much I was a fan of you for 3/4 of the last time I co-hosted you? You couldn't do that here. You have let your emotions get the better of you far too many times already and frankly, it's tiresome. You want to rule this tribe, but really, I'm hoping these people have another thing coming for you.

Yeah, these guys.

1. Loki - I think he's missed chance after chance. If he goes in tomorrow night, man. I don't know. I actually hope he doesn't. Wow, I'm so nice. Take that!

2. Emma - I don't know, because she's always been nice or clever? Wow, this tribe sucks if that's what I have to say.

3. Anna - She's seemingly at the center of... everything? She doesn't thrill me though.

4. Kurt - You lost a spot because of being whiny, but you need to pick your ass up and try to make something happen.

5. Logan - I guess I kind of find him funny at times. You know I don't give too many bonus points for just that though.

6. Bobby - I don't hate him, but I want more.

7. Natasha - With a Tesseract, there could be a lot more intrigue, so we'll see. I just want her to WANT to do more or anything.

1. Parker - He's been kinda meh recently but after Hawkeye left and Raven came over here, this tribe has been on super cruise control with not much to do. They are just waiting out until the next phase. But I still like Spider-Man the best (could be the Aunt May thing idk). I think he is in a good spot with his idol and having a good amount of connections. For some reason I don't see him being targeted over Xavier and Steve, so that should be good. His quirkiness is endearing and he's funny enough to remain at the top.

2. Thor - Not sure why I like Thor so much, but I do. I guess his ability to laugh off Remy as opposed to getting so irate. He's always looking for a way to better his position (with sending Elektra that PM :lol: ). He seems like he is great socially but still pushes his own agenda without fear. I like that. He will be a big player in this game - I can feel it. Probably end game candidate with so many shields in front of him.

3. Steve Rogers - spn is playing spn-y and it's probably all he can do at this point. This tribe has gotten stale, but Steve is thinking for the future and it looks like he might be in some hot water, but who really knows? He is social enough to go deep into this game and also CAN win challenges, although idk wtf he's doing in this game lol. Maybe he's throwing? Maybe not.

4. Bruce - I like Bruce but I don't see many connections he has going forward. I think he will have to rely on the luck of the pick'um for the next round. But he's doing what he can it's just his tribe is so set there isn't any movement he can do. Remy coming back for him is sweet and I think if Bruce can get on a tribe with some old Titans he might have a shot. I hope so anyway, I like his updates and his fight.

5. Johnny - He's pretty funny and I like his "idgaf" attitude. I am surprised he hasn't been IDed (or maybe he has?) but I think he will finally become really interesting after this next phase. He has a lot of options and I think that is perfect for this new phase coming up. He's witty and funny on the board. I can't see a win but if he turns on the challenge prowess he can be long for this game. Still not sure if he wants to get some revenge on these Genosha people or will play with them though. Like I said, options are great though.

6. Raven - She is MUCH more fun when she's not safe :lol: I miss the Raven of old who was paranoid and neurotic. She was so fun. Now she's safe and just kinda boring idk lol. I love her updates though and can't wait to see how she plays the next phase.

7. Prof - Idk about Prof. I feel like he is a character I should like, but something weighs him down for me. He has the passion and connections to go pretty far, but his label as running the game might hurt him. I think it's impressive how he seems to be safe and he can keep his minions safe on Genosha though. Only Thor has really mentioned taking out a minion, but everyone else is just like w/e "ally by default." Xavier will have a lot of options come the next phase, but he also might be an easy target.

8. Johann - Just not much brewing here. He has been on cruise control for a while. I keep waiting to hear people loving him like crazy, but it's just not that crazy. In a GREAT position though and won't be targeted by anyone for a while. He just seems so safe right now I'd like to see him in a position he has to WERK IT.

9. Ivan - Funny but kind of resigned himself to being a less active, less aggressive player. I do like him though.

10. Remy - Self-destruction at it's finest.

1. Ororo - I actually love her here. I don't think she is handling this "in the middle" position well at all, but it is very intriguing to watch. I have been in this position so many times and the easiest way out id just to lie lie lie. And I think she is doing that. Sadly, whichever way she goes tonight she will have someone mad at her, and mad enough to matter later on. Her confessionals are great though and I love her emotion and passion.

2. Susan - idk why I like Susan so much, but I do. I think she's great in this. I think she's cocky, but I think this is tara, so what else is new? :lol: I think she will make it to the next round and will be ok for the rest of the game. Something about her rubs people the wrong way so she will always be a punching bag but I loved her and Storm's back and forth. I think she is a great social player but I think she lacks awareness sometimes - she expects everyone to love her when that isn't the case.

3. Pepper - This is a very Mel type game. She is playing utr, very nice, very understanding. She is the kind of ally some of these nutcases need, for real. I feel like she might get owned later on in the game when she has more sane people playing around her, but she is perfect for this tribe as no one dislikes her and people like Storm and Shaw like to talk to her just to calm down. Playing Potts very well. I am rooting for her to go far.

4. Elektra - I just think ILT is fascinating to watch. Does he EVER feel vulnerable? I think that is why it's so fun to play with him actually, you can blindside him pretty easily. Idek if he knows how much danger he's been in. But the juxtaposition of how close Elektra has come to dying mixed with the passion and confidence in her confessional is fun to watch for me. We will see how well she can do in an Arena cuz she might go in tonight.

5. The Thing - Just easily controls things. Even after he pretty much dictated the last round, no one is talking of booting him. He has a way of betraying people but those people still needing him to survive. Subtle game play, but he knows exactly what he's doing. I appreciate him a lot and love his confessional, but I feel I'll like him more when he hits some road blocks.

6. Shaw - Nothing wrong with Shaw. Seems very aware, seems like he is doing the best he can do with this tribe. I don't dislike him at all, just have stronger feelings for the people above him. I think he might be fucked tonight.

1. Anna - Love her and she has put herself in the perfect position on this tribe. When bjork tries, his social game is uncanny. How he convince Loki to abandon logic was pretty impressive. I think the whole Natasha volunteering thing is actually great for her game. But if she wanted it, anyone could go, and that is a mark of a great player.

2. Loki - Not sure WHY he put himself in this position, but sometimes it's better to be a bit risky. I think he made the right move b/c now he keeps connections strong. If he had went with Kurt he might be fucked in the next phase. Now he has allies with everyone on this tribe. It is true he put himself in a vulnerable spot, but it's fine, I think it's worth it.

3. Logan - I love his disdain for his SG and how he doesn't give a shit that they hate him. He is funny on the board but not the big of a character. Playing well though.

4. Emma - She used to be so visible. Turning into Purple Emma.

5. Natasha - Mute challenge whore. Needs a win tonight although maybe she is volunteering?

6. Bobby - Lost so much steam. I was hoping notre could keep it up, but these games are exhausting. [/align]

Fine, Aunt May! :cry I was going to wait til tomorrow or Saturday though.

You know it's funny to say that since the Clint boot, this has been the most strategically simple tribe in this game. I really have no idea what these people may bother to talk about all day here, unless they're just focusing on the weekend and beyond.

1. Charles - This guy is on fire this round, and yes I will take his side on this Charles - Remy bullshit because he's dealing with someone that is acting like an annoying child. When I read his sequence of posts in his confessional about Titan/Counter-Earth, the slow reveal and outrage, I read that and it's like some big twist in a movie and the "aha!" moment, only it's one of those where you feel "cheated" by it and then get pissed. What does that have to do about Charles or the game this round? Eh, not much, ok. What really is there to say about people here in general though?

2. Rogers - I don't know how often I see stuff and attribute them to Johann, but it turns out it's Rogers. I don't even know what's happening now. Are they seriously trying to tell Remy that they're going to boot Ivan so he won't play his reactor? Yeah, I don't know.

3. Bruce - Well, I admire the effort that he's been putting in with this before Remy came back, but as someone (Rogers?) pointed out, that's why he would have had to go, at least before Remy came back. If he's going to do something like that, he'd probably have some huge rant at the next phase, or definitely at the merge to share with the rest of the people and try to get them against the other Genosha people. Yeah, I'm thinking like when Sauron apparently sent the same PM to everyone at the merge trying to rally them to destroy the Shirelliance.

4. Johann - I'm not really sure why he is randomly off the hook in this Remy bullshit, but good for you? Or is that a bad thing? I really don't know.

5. Thor - I laugh when I see his SG because he actually sort of has to deal with that fucking guy. I'll give him credit for at least trying to get set up for next phase. The others really don't have that kind of opportunity, so it's no surprise that he's one of the few that are trying it now.

6. Parker - Besides seeing Remy call him a nerd with glasses or something in one of those stupid threads, I can't remember anything about him whatsoever.

7. Ivan - He posted something somewhere, I guess.

8. Johnny - He may have posted something somewhere, but I'm not sure.

9. Raven - RULEBREAKER! and for Elektra of all people? Don't you know that she is the cause of all the problems in the game?

10. Remy - Oh, it's great that he's trying to provide some entertainment, and it's nice that he would attempt to fall on his sword for Bruce. However, his entire existence has lacked substance since the swap, and it really is about time he leaves this game.

I had hopes for these people, but I don't think so anymore.

1. Pepper - She gets the top spot actually not so much because of shit going on with this tribe but because she actually has managed to put up with that thing in her SG. I wish she'd get her way tonight with things, but that's really doubtful.

2. Sebastian - I don't know if he's going to be able to get out of this one. He's going to take the fall because some of these idiots are too pissy and can't get their acts together.

3. Grimm - I don't know. There is a massive gap between 2 and 3 here, and I'll put him higher because while Ororo is claiming he's acting like a little bitch, it seems to me like she is too.

4. Ororo - So you plan for like 2 days to take out Elektra, and what now? I don't know what she's going to do, because I swear she's going to bail on her plans because she and Grimm are acting like fucking babies.

5. Elektra - This "send Thor and Johnny and Tony messages for me" is so... blech. Do any of them besides Tony even like her? I don't even care what Thor wrote in that note for Elektra, because that's more or less him being a goof. I probably don't really dislike her, so much as it seems. I just hate everything she surrounds herself with here.

6. Susan - She's going to get her way tonight because of those two can't even get their act together, is almost certainly going to end up on a tribe with one of these girls, and probably won't be going anywhere, while believing herself to be dominating the game. Hell, half the people that "loved her" are in LL now, while most of the people that didn't like her are still around.

Well, at least they finally have to make a decision of sorts?

1. Anna - Well, what Anna wants, Anna gets. Though I have to laugh at how she has this plan to demand that everyone throw the challenge to Emma tonight. Heaven forbid should someone else try to get a piece of Tesseract themselves! Yeah, it would be nice to have another doubler on their side, but what good is it if they get split up? When they planned that on Genosha, at least it was going to be necessary potentially in the immediate future and would for sure have impact over there.

2. Loki - Ok so yeah, he's totally fine over there, but I'm not sure how much say he has in things? He seemed pretty damn sure it was going to be Bobby, but others were talking about how Natasha said she would volunteer and people are going to expect her to stick to that. I should have a better understanding of this relationship with Anna, but for some reason I don't. I think this is good for him though because if they land in hot water, it isn't going to be he who people point the finger at, unless they decide they want to use her and her two votes.

3. Emma - I've really not noticed her much lately, but I guess good for you if people are actually willing to throw the challenge to you/Anna to get you the last piece you need.

4. Logan - I guess he's been sick, so we don't even get his usual fucking around in his SG. His total intolerance for these plans by those people was great.

5. Bobby - I think he's going to miss the round or something possibly? He tells me he'll be in rush hour traffic for this, but even with the late start tonight? People expect him to lose the challenge/duel, so would they dump dead weight or would they want to keep an extra?

6. Natasha - Yeah, well, congrats on your Tesseract effect actually having effect, but w/e. Is she going to volunteer or no? Will they just send her in anyway?




I'll add the F4 returnees, mostly based on how interested I am in seeing them come back.

1. Hank - Yes, he'll be labeled a "Xavier Guy" immediately on return, especially when he picks Charles with the 2nd overall pick. However, what some people will need to realize, and what many of them do not know (yet), is that Ivan wasn't really an ally of his, and he's still going to be fuming any time anybody mentions Raven. He'll have a complete fresh start with some people, but there are also some others that definitely have been looking forward to him possibly coming back. He'll have a lot to prove to these strangers, as well as to me, but he may bee able to pull it off if he gets the tribe that he should. There's literally no way they shouldn't have at least 2 Genosha plus him and 2 clear outsiders.

2. Harry - Shocker? I thought about this one a long time, and while he didn't have huge game, in large part because of where he was landing and all, he doesn't have that working against him. So far as I recall, they weren't enemies, per se, he was just on the wrong side of a majority alliance. The best part for him is that he can blend in the middle, assuming he doesn't get outnumbered on his tribe, but he should be able to have Pepper + Thor, both of whom are keen on new/old allies.

3. Stark - This was a hard one to place as well, and he could be an interesting one to have back, but it will depend on if he's reckless or not. Bruce could completely blow up his spot if he hands the tribe over to Titan control, and unfortunately for Stark, I think he will. Bruce has been viewed as a Utopia/Titan guy since before Remy even quit, and the problem for Bruce as well is that he will also be walking into a trap. I'm happy that he is back and all, but let's see if he can play things a little cooler this time around, and if my projected tribe is somewhat close to what he has, there's a chance if he doesn't push too hard. Logan will snap back and tell these people "we have an alliance, let's just stick to it".

4. Erik - Man, he's a HUGE candidate for revolving door because he just doesn't have much to return to, and it sucks for him, and I feel bad. The only people he knows very well are people that will have much bigger allies than he could be even if he busts his ass, and what he really needs is TIME. If he's not immune come Sunday night, he may be on the other end of the votes immediately.
