This is overall a very strong group. I think most serve some role here, though there are still several trying to find a place. I guess that's what happens when some just came off a tribe of 3 after being there for only a couple days. That said, this format? Hmm. Immunity is golden, for sure, and will be a big deal. This isn't like having it from the start where you can just steamroll fodder/inactives or something like that. There is too much strength on either "side" and too much dissension going on. I think the two most pivotal people right now... Emma and Johann. I said a bit about those two in the blogs, but he can easily go back to Genosha and try to rope the C-E people in there against Titan, or not. She can easily drag her people towards Anna and the Titan/Pyro group. What will happen? Oh, a duel will happen, most likely. Getting a God/Guardian and then getting the most votes out of the remaining 12? Who even would have it cave on them that hard? Charles? I don't know. |

Yeah, I expect this to kinda be all over the place. It's tough in these big groups to organize a vote b/c once you mention/push for a target you've thrown yourself out there as a target. People will grab on to anything. I expect a crazy af vote though, a lot depending on who is the God and Guardian. T18 brought up a good point to me...it's good to get God and Guardian but it also kinda suck b/c then you lose 2 (or potentially 4) votes in the main vote. But still, getting G/G is obviously better b/c you have the sole power to put someone in an arena. |

Right, that was something I thought of when I was typing my rankings, but forgot about it when I typed that. It's like in Pirates too, when I remember thinking how you need your allies to be voters, and you can isolate opposition by making them officers. You need to worry about the votes. Mercer was one that was getting annoyed as hell about the fact that he knew that they needed votes, but Norrington was like "lolno, you're staying as my officer". Will either of those two remember that when trying to do this format? iiam It's a tricky position here though for sure. With a Tesseract, if you're not going to be in danger, it's probably better to just make sure you're a voter. Sure, you can't give a Tesseract piece and help your friends get more or anything, but if you're not in danger, and in this first round? Things could go right down the middle, and every vote matters. I doubt we'll see a truel (ew, what a disgusting "word") unless the main vote ties somehow. Even then, both the G/G, even if split would probably vote those people or split on those people. |

Looks like Ororo might be the vote here in the big vote. Which isn't too surprising. Didn't really expect Johnny to jump right back in bed with Genosha but after Ororo's random call-out last night I can't say I blame him. So unless a Pyro or I guess Emma become G/G it looks like Ororo is fucked. She might be anyway unless she gets put in with someone that she can beat. She's not bad at comps, but there are plenty people better than her. |

I can't even begin to figure out the numbers here. At least for this vote, it looks to be: 4 Aqua (2 doublers), Johnny, and Ivan 4 Pyro (3 doublers), Emma, and Loki I'm not entirely sure which way Johann and Harry are leaning, because they've shown signs of going both ways. I think it's more likely to see a Green/Orange pairing, even though the blues assume they have the greens? |

If the Aqua people get both G/G, then that could be up to 4 votes that are taken off the table. I do not think Ororo going in is a done deal. Likewise with the other side, if they get G/G, that's probably 4 votes off the table, so they won't have a majority in the main vote. It almost certainly will be a duel tonight. If the two sides split G/G, it's definitely a duel. Besides those that are trying to straddle both sides (the ones that are less likely to win this anyway), I don't see concessions being made in there. |

I really haven't read everything so you are more right than I am. But I thought I did read that Harry wanted to go with Aqua. I will attempt to read the relevant shit now though. |

The comments are so unreliable because they change every minute it seems or depending on where I'm reading a person's posts. Another thing that I'm surprised hasn't been discussed more (except by Rogers really) is conceding that this is going to end up in a duel, so send in the weakest of the opposition. If say... Anna and Natasha get the top two spots, then most certainly the Aquas will have full control of the banishment vote, but know that the "worst" of them will be sent in. Heh. For the complaining Kurt did about the formats/challenge requirement, logically, this format should actually lead to the weaker people challenge-wise being targeted when there is not a clear cut majority and able to control all 3 of the votes. |

Yeah, but Kurt was complaining during Survivor and Arena. And he was bitching about how people had Immunity and RI to save them. And how he would never win a colo vote. ![]() When putting this format in, I didn't think too hard about it being about power. It wasn't even that bad in GF, but with that cast and my alliance, it wasn't hard controlling shit. I think the dynamics of this game and it being introduced later, will show the full potential of this format. And I love that.

Yeah, I think the fact that this game had tribes and then went into this format totally changes the complexion of the format. In GF it was one big tribe so it was snowing people, in this it is sides all over the place with loyalties already set in stone. Makes shit cray. |

These people also aren't entirely sure about who has Tesseracts and what powers they have. Some don't know about Ororo's, some forget about Emma's (somehow), etc. Clearly they need Stark back, also to account for "unaccounted" Tesseract pieces, but it should be beyond obvious that Ororo has one, and Bruce has a bunch of pieces. I read that last post from Emma in their group and I'm scratching my head about that "if Aqua gets the numbers". They don't need the numbers to decide to go after Ororo or not. They'll either have the numbers in the banishment vote or numbers in the Bifrost almost certainly. It just means they won't in the other one. |

So the general vote really doesn't matter for shit. Anna's people will probably vote Rogers like she will, and Parker's people will vote Ororo like he does. Unless some people decide to pull a fast one. The majority on that really won't matter all that much this round and will not until a supermajority can be created. I don't expect something like that til Sunday at best, unless the entire game decides to collapse on one person. All the talk about "compromise" between the sides just is unlikely to happen. |

Why would Rogue ever vote Ororo? Regardless is she's "fucked" our not there is no reason to do it lol. Is she just being coy? Or what? |
