Yeah, someone else can think of a subtitle. I don't care.

So anyway, there hasn't been a whole lot to read on just yet, but I would not be surprised at all to see some different direction tonight than expected.

Between rumblings of Pyro/Terra possibly working together, to even some sort of thought of a temporary truce between Aqua/Pyro to take out those that are sitting there letting them target each other, it can really go a lot of ways even within several of the combinations of possible winners tonight.

Emma is saying she wants to get Harry out? Well, that's interesting and could possibly work here, but there's something funny about that. If she attempts to get everyone to compromise on that, I just think that it may be bringing more attention to her own position here, and that may not be attention she wants/needs now. It's not a terrible thing, but she does have a bail out plan.

Also, some of these people acting about how they regret last night? Why, because Ororo had a Tesseract that they found out about after the fact? What's the big deal? Charles and Parker have them on the other side, Anna and Ororo had them on that side. Natasha's has a 5% chance of doing anything for her allies in the near future. On top of that, Johnny and Steve are on the verge of it. While they're not carrying the banner for the Genosha people, or however that group would be lumped together, it's not like ALL the Tesseracts were Titan people by a long shot.

I want to take a moment to talk about Charles. He has just become increasingly strange the past few rounds. I don't know if he's worn out here just because the game has taken a toll on him, or if it's work, or if it's school. He's really seemed to change, and not for the better, and most people are not only commenting on it in confessionals, but sharing those thoughts with eachother.

Yes, he was so arrogant and all when they were back on Aqua, for instance, but then he started getting condescending to his allies, some of whom already had reason to consider leaving him. Now he's just becoming overly sarcastic and cold it seems. I'm not sure if that's by design, nor am I sure that he is even aware of it. Seriously, I don't know if there are any of his "allies" that in the past few rounds he hasn't at one time or another given reason to want to throw him away. Will they? Eh, I think some may want to ride out this format and use him as a shield if they can.

Whatever, I'm probably going to be gone almost the entire time til the round, if I even make it on time. I have a horribly busy afternoon and then am going to need a nap at some moment.

Loki asking his SG if they can get Harry in there instead of Bruce? Do either of them have anything with Bruce and/or a reason to want to see him stay around? I could understand from Ivan's perspective of not wanting to see just the people perceived weaker at challenges being targeted each time, but these two are talking about stringing together them plus Harry and Hank.

Well Johnny and Bruce were "together" back on Genosha on the wrong side of things, but I don't think they were all that close. But talking to Snoopy last night it seemed liked he liked Harry quite a bit. He talked about his graphic and how he wanted the Merry Band O' Floaters to come out on top so I can't see him being thrilled by Harry being the target....

More on that, why would anyone want Harry as a target. Who can beat him? I mean I'm sure a bunch of them can but Harry's been on top of his challenges this game and if I were going in or even had a shot at going in I'd much rather go against Bruce than Harry. Although maybe the shittier challenge people (are there many left?) kinda see the writing on the wall. Unless they get two good challenge performers in there I could easily see Loki and then maybe Ivan being in trouble soon since they are considered much worse at challenges.

I am not even going to reply to Loki's post where he complains about the format. I am just going to ignore it, because I think the first half is just as ridiculous as when Kurt was complaining about the game. Here is the thing, this phase right now? I get being a little upset/frustrated with how it's working out. But it's not the format's fault, it's the dynamic. This format isn't made for people to duel, the duels are caused by tied votes and disagreements. It could be easier to navigate and get through if everyone was on the same page. But everyone is not on the same page and that's the game doing that.

And really, I don't think any side should give in and compromise their own numbers, so things being like they are is kind of fun to watch. And just because I said this game would have all voting formats, doesn't mean it should be a cake walk. Like, I get how this format can be more Power ridden, but again, they are making it that way. It doesn't have to be like that. What did they want from me? To end this with Survivor or Colo and let them and their Tesseract allies rule the majority and just cruise? lolno

And again, his bitching about THIS format is warranted, but he isn't even being mentioned as a target. The other side is aiming for the challenge threats. And his side has been wanting to go after Steve and Peter and now Harry, lul Are they serious? THAT is your compromise boot? okay, good luck with that.

I actually like everyone in this cast right now. But I do think Natasha and Bruce should go in the next two rounds. I love Harry and I don't want him to go. But I don't want Anna Marie to go the most, but I think she kind of made her bed the way she played this merge? I don't know. I think this tug of war is hot from the outside, but it's going to suck if the awesome people leave because they couldn't try to play a bit closer with each other. And really, that's what it all boils down to. It's a power struggle and jockeying for position.

And I bet the end game will be made up of Ivan/Johnny/Harry/Hank because of how the rest of these people are going at each other. Not that I mind that end game. I think Johnny will win in that mix and after Grindhaus that would be amazing. :')

Anyways, my second thing I wanted to say about Loki's rant. The ragging on this format I give him, but the shit about game start and crying about Immunity challenges, RI and Arena is just hilarious and sad. I am NEVER doing a giant game with just survivor. I refuse, I made it so they don't have to win colo votes and all that stood in their way was the person who won immunity. But that was ONE round. It's not my fault they took out Thor instead of Harry when they had the chance and it's certainly not my fault that Johann lost that final challenge for them. And it's the format's fault either. So shut the fuck up and deal with it. :bz

I wouldn't mind a Johnny wine either. Aside from him not confessing ever and hating Aunt May ( :cry ) I think he is currently playing the best game.

Johnny is totally playing the best game, no doubt about it. He has been pacing and making all the right moves for himself all this time. And is quite literally the safest person in this game.

Mhm, and he's just so calm, cool and collected. So many of these peeps are freaking the fuck out constantly. He sees all the connections (his graphics is almost 100% correct) and is playing off of them perfectly. He's not playing too aggressive and he's not sitting back. Just the perfect mix of game play and intelligence while understanding the format and his surroundings perfectly. Bravo Twinky Storm.

And he needed this game and to play like this. Just so he can prove what kind of player he truly is. He had that OTTN control freak shit going on for a couple of years, lul And this is a totally different game from him. He is not the biggest target or the biggest threat in anyone's eyes. While he actually IS the biggest threat. It's masterful and I am loving it. Very impressive game from him in this.

He kept promising me an update, but he never did it. :cry But he did make that graphic last night and showed it to me on IM. It is very close to everything that is going on and it's pretty amazing.

I guess she's on her phone? But she was here during the entire sign in, so idk

Also, I think Harry and Hank will get this. Kyle won this in Indy and cards will use the right method to solve it. Snoopy refuses to do it the easy way, so he won't win.

X is actually playing this well. By all accounts he was fine with Harry going tonight but he's making sure Aqua is secure. And now is basically gaining a 5th Aqua.

Harry/X made the right move there. I guess splitting it would have been fine too just to give the potential Aqua boot a better chance, odds wise.

K, Bruce isn't terrible by challenges by any means but this is basically speed image posting so I don't see Hank losing this one. I want Hank to win anyway, just glad Anna is safe. I'm gonna go eat though. Good round over all, should put the people in the middle in a lot more heat then they were hoping for.

I didn't read the bifrost fully, but why didn't they send two people in? Not that it would have made a difference because whoever would have beaten Bruce there probably.
