Now that's just strange. I'm obviously not ruling out that these jurors are beyond clueless, but were both of those eliminations last night that much of a surprise? How is it possible that every single prediction over two rounds was wrong? Yes, I know, I'm asking questions I know the answers to.

Seriously though, what's the schedule for this? Are you pushing a double and a Friday finale a la Witches or two doubles to get this over on Thursday?

I had a whole run-down, but my browser ate it. Fuck this shit.

First of all, where does Harry fit in? He was on green with Johann and Loki, but his voting record in some of these rounds leaves me utterly confused where he stands. The other "side" (Charles/Hank/Anna/Natasha) really should try to rope him in, and promise to fill his Tesseract if he joins them possibly... or just waste pieces by giving to Loki. I don't know. Is the possibility of these 4 working together still there or has that gone by the wayside? Where does Anna fit into this whole scheme anymore? Is she someone that they would try to not vote for, but would if they had to? For a while, I thought that this format would really fuck over an alliance if they had two winners, however, that is the easiest way to save at least 4 people.

I'm not going to work out all of the logistics/options/manipulation available with Tesseracts, but let's take that blue-orange 4some particularly. If two of them win tonight, only way that one of them leaves is by utter stupidity. In fact, it should be 2 of that other 5some, or at worst 1 of them + Harry. Will they do this or not?

If the winners are say Charles and Anna, then:
Charles picks Hank; Anna picks Emma
Hank picks Natasha; Emma picks someone that is going to be in trouble.
Natasha picks Harry if he's there; oops, another person from that alliance
Harry picks anybody but Parker and that person is dead; it doesn't matter

Substitute Charles and Anna for any combination of those people. Of course, if only 1 of them wins, then it's almost a guarantee that one of them will get scooped by the other side as an easy boot as the 3rd person to join that team. I know it's instinct to want to pick allies, but whomever has the 2nd pick would fuck over both teams if they did that.

I'm not even going to work out situations where trying to plan picks based on the order and certain Tesseract powers being stacked. Real helpful thing you got there, Natasha. You and Anna should be able to tie things up against Harry/Loki/Johann if that were the 5, but they'd just vote Anna if something like that came up...

That's our schedule. You know I usually hate days off before a finale. But with a 50 person cast reveal, I really need two days to prep and get shit ready. So I am doing it that way, idc.

Also, so happy that the tide has turned on Hank and Charles. They really are the most entitled and horrific people here. I loved this entire thing:

http://z13.invisionfree.com/Marvel0us/inde...post&p=22163964

And even with Loki saying he'd bounce Peter if given the chance, he still has the goal to get a Hank/Charles boot going. So does like everyone I hope? I think Anna is going to be a little bit wary of doing that, she's going to meltdown if she's in a meeting where that has to happen, lul But it really is best for the game if those two get the fuck out. I can't read another hypocritical update from Psycho X, I refuse. He doesn't even see how awful he is, which is worse. This is beyond Royal Guard now, not gonna lie.

Also, as for you trying to track Harry's voting trends, good luck with that! This is Kyle we're talking about. He was on a good one last night and was adorably hilar, but I don't think he has any legit allegiance to like anyone, so I think he's going to just bumblefuck and vote how he thinks will keep him safe? Granted, I know he wrote something, I haven't read it yet. But yeah, I mean did we ever make sense of Gina Marie voting against her alliance and just on whims? I think Harry just votes how he wants most of the time and it's hilarious. idk He'll have no where to hide in the meetings though. So there's that?

I do feel a tiny bit bad for Hank, but really, he's come far enough and has had a good run. For him, he made his bed a while back. I understand that Charles was the person he knew the best upon his return, but he was too locked in there. He could have opened his eyes and seen how people were reacting to Charles and how he's been acting. Oh wait, remember how at least twice since he's returned, he's been ready to jump ship away from Charles? Well, he hasn't followed through, and now Charles will be his anchor. Sure, he's brought enough of it on himself, but at the same time, association with Charles would be enough to make him persona non grata.

Ultimately, where can Hank go at this point? That alliance of 5? Yeah, they don't need him, and I don't think any of them would want him. Besides, they're probably going to be a de facto alliance of 6 because I don't think any of them would target Anna, at least this round. She's still connected via Loki/Emma particularly, and all of the focus otherwise seems to be on Charles/Hank, though I could see Harry/Natasha being non-essential to them if those two are the only options in one of the councils.

Yeah, I mean don't want to see Hank go like I want to see Charles go. I will admit I haven't been that happy with how Hank shifts his goals each round or why he is so entitled and hating on Peter after HE tried to get him booted. And I am glad he survived both the duels he's lived through, but it comes down to what you said basically. He's anchored to Charles and can't seem to see that Charles is horrible, lul

I mean really, the only reason I'd want to see Hank gone is because of the threat he poses to Steve/Peter/Johann at this point.

These jury bets are ridiculous. Why are they all betting Loki and Emma leave? How the fuck..

For all the crap that Rogers gets at times in this game, it's posts like his most recent one that I do appreciate, but maybe it's because it scratches the surface of my own thoughts about how to work this shit. Whether or not other people have really learned from the past swaps and pick-ems, it at least seems as though he doesn't want to make the same mistakes as before.

He's trying to juggle too much though it seems. Shit, it's everyone except for Hank/Charles. It was him/Parker that has the other "deal" with Anna/Natasha. I had thought maybe it was C-E people, but didn't feel like looking back. Sure, while he has a bail-out plan, he's going to raise eyebrows if he is picking early and can't just take either Johann or Parker. Then again, some people will get off easy on this when an obvious target is already claimed and then it won't even matter who is picked.

The predictions make me laugh. Rogers basically lost his shirt last night with some of his ridiculous picks and the amount he wagered. He refuses to even hedge his bets a little bit.

As for Charles, the funny thing is that the people on jury aren't at the point of vehemently hating him yet. This will change when some of these people still in the game land on jury or when he has his next public blow up.

Before you say, "Consider who posted that," I am perplexed as to this:

Iron Man
 
People I want to vote for.
1. Natasha Romanov


I'm not commenting on someone having her #1. People like Bruce and a couple others, it's more than understandable. Where is this coming from though? I get some of the stuff, especially the 3 that he has 8-10, but is she there just by default and he hates everyone else or something?

Someone needs to keep track of these "deals" that Anna/Natasha apparently have, because everyone is approaching them, apparently.

So there is the Rogers/Parker deal with them, the Hank/Harry deal with them, then there's Anna tied in with Emma and Loki (I think). My head is spinning. I'm confused and lost in some of this and I'm really hoping to have an answer by the end of the night what is real and what is not.

I would have been inclined to think that the Anna/Emma/Loki(?) thing would be something, with possibly disposing of Parker for one out of that group, but still, I don't think she would walk into a situation like that. She knows that there's Emma/Loki/Johann that were together, and that's a valid fear.

The question is if not that, then what? The Harry/Hank deal would have a lot of promise if, and only if, they pull off a double coup tonight. Otherwise they're exposed and underpowered. There seems to have been at least some friction in their SG, or at least insofar as those two have not been on the same page, so I wouldn't be surprised if Anna wants to go with a different group rather than adding on to that shit. We'll see.

So, the greens will take a hit? Or will it be one of the Titans or Rogers?

Hank > Charles > Harry
Parker > Rogers > ???

Did Steve just fuck himself? Who will Johann side with if Emma goes over there?
