I'm seriously going to stop rooting for people in this game, because it seems that every time it doesn't end well. :cry I fully acknowledge that with this format, there isn't any true safety right now. Well, other than Parker. Ok, so maybe I'll root for him this round because I know it can't doom him.

Emma was one of the, if not the single most interesting people to watch in this game. She had her minor flaws, according to some of the jealous folks, but that is also what made her more of a joy to watch. She really went for it early and never relented until this horrible end. In a game where people kept their heads down and just were grinding away and droning on in PMs, she at least had some actual... sparkle and was a fun personality and a strong competitor with a persona that had people gravitating towards her without her breaking a sweat.

Anna continues to take hard hits, but there is too much tension elsewhere that it should take the perfect storm for her to be in trouble, right? Or will people start to look at it and be like "look, she's lost about 5 of her friends in a row, how do you think the jury will be leaning now?"

Tonight ought to be interesting though. If 2/3 of Johann/Parker/Rogers win, then Johann will complete his Tesseract. I'm confused by Parker giving his piece to Loki last night, unless that was a lateral move just to make sure that a new Tesseract didn't complicate things, and even then, there was the question of whether or not he was trying to flush the piece altogether if people would have gone for that. However, with Emma gone, doesn't this open the door for a Parker/Johann/Rogers F3? Obviously some others can complicate things, especially if Johann doesn't have a full Tesseract at the F6 vote.

I don't even know if that could be/is a legit thing though. If it is, their best move is taking out Tesseracts, because Loki (and potentially Harry) wouldn't be able to tie up the vote without their remaining pieces. It's the smart play, but there isn't that much control because people are going to be looking to fuck over plans like that when picking the 3rd person to be in their voting group. If the first two both have Tesseracts, then of course you take Loki (or one of the other two). Even if there are other ideas, then it would still be 4 votes to 3.

Frankly, I would still be interested to see a situation with groups of only 4 that if it's you and your best ally winning to have one of them just create a "death group" and sit back laughing at people having to figure out what to do. Will it happen? Probably not ever and it wouldn't even really matter at this point because unlike the groups of 5, a vote would rely on the power winner.

Back to last night though... as mortifying as it was to see Emma go, for the game as a whole, it is an interesting thing. Frankly, I thought that group of 5 needed to take a hit and/or get a shake-up. This puts Loki on his toes when otherwise he would be resting on his heels just biding his time. I suppose it also keeps those blues in the game, and even if Charles drives me crazy, he does make an interesting person in that "spoiler" rule who can crash the party.

How much will that amount to? Eh, unless the F6 has him, Hank, and Anna, I don't think it's that much of an imminent threat. I think that's one of the things that some of those others (particularly Parker, Johann, and Rogers) need to avoid. Whether or not Loki would side with them is moot, if he only has a single vote at F6.

Yeah, that's enough rambling for now.

I am rooting for Anna now but I guess that means she's fucked :cry Peter would be my second choice. After that I don't have anyone I would be rooting strongly for though. Maybe Loki but I really don't see a path for Loki to get to the end. Even if he makes it out of tomorrow I can see him being labeled a jury threat. And we all know he's not winning shit.

At this point, I would probably most hope for an Anna/Johann win, followed by Parker/Rogers.

She's got a great story to tell, a lot of built-in support. If people wrap their head around that, she is fucked, though people still seem to be reaching out and trying to work with her. To what end? I'm not even sure. I think it's partly that a lot of people are running out of allies and every round that passes, she has become more of a free agent.

Johann has been playing a pretty sneaky UTR game, but that's not the right term even. I think that's the perception that he has, not actually how he's played. He gets overshadowed by the bitchfights with Charles, Hank, Parker, and Rogers, ya know? I don't think he has that much of a built-in support system, but if he can spell out his game, I think he could open some eyes.

I don't really think I would mind too much if any of these people won. I think Harry would be such a wtf winner, but he won't win anyway, so I'll ignore that. His problem is just that he's been so inconsistent in this game and all. Charles would have too much vitriol spewed at him if he made it, and he seems to now know that he would deserve some of it. Hank winning? Well, could that happen in any situation unless he's with Harry and Charles?

Natasha leaving :<3 I can now be satisfied with any outcome, but Cat losing unanimously in the finals is always satisfying so I guess I have felt that way for a while now.

IDEALLY, Anna wins tonight. Pulls me in. We end up with one person from each trio and take out which ever one of them is more threatening to us/more likely to have their trio partner survive.

That works potentially... if he doesn't get two people with a side deal, like some of them have. I guess his best bet would be getting Johann there, and then Harry, or at worst Charles/Hank. The best scenario is obviously not having a Tesseract other than Anna's in there. The other complication that is possible is if a scenario like that came up and pieces were given to someone to be sent in like a Trojan horse to the other meeting when they don't realize said person has one. Yeah, I can't even begin to speculate this shit. Well, I can, but it's a massive waste of time.

There's still a huge difference in being the first and second winner and separate strategies involved in such if they know what they're doing.

Why are you all acting like you just started rooting for Emma and then she was booted right after? That's not true at all, neither is it true about Johnny. We have loved Emma all game and were fawning over Johnny rounds before he left so lul?

It's not necessarily about "just now rooting for her". It's that plus every time I think "oh, nobody will target this person this round" or "this person is almost certainly safe this round", they tend to get targeted late and then go.

Johann right now :<3

He's being so spot on, but he's missing one HUGE point.

Where the fuck are the two pieces going to go to? They'll have to make an assumption about that and all, but they should consider Harry having one if any of those 3 win. He should realize that Harry got one last night possibly and is right on the cusp.

They may shoot themselves in the foot if they forget about the gifting, though he's not been privy to that all. Nor has Rogers?

I have a massive headache, so maybe that's why this isn't adding up to me:

Charles
 
Steve and Johann.

I want the tribes to be split up in the following way:

Anna/Harry/Peter/Johann
Hank/Myself/Steve/Loki

And we can take the two of them out easily. Any variation of Peter/Johann and Steve/Loki with any of the other 4 of us works as well.

Steve/Johann are his preferred targets tonight.

However, Anna's not stupid. If she sees that Steve is marked for death over there and they'll use Loki to do it based on the way these break down, she's going to kill Harry, won't she?

She'd want to set up 3 pairs at F6, and it doesn't behoove her to have it be like:
Anna (T)
Harry (T?)
Peter (T)
Hank (T)
Charles (T)
Loki

He needs to think like she would think. And think like she would think that he would think.

Anna might be stupid? I don't know, cards is convinced she is with them and that they all hate Peter and Steve. I am not sure why Anna would want to play with them for 4th place? But she's not going to get to the end with either group. She'll just get hated for facilitating Charles? I am not sure.

I honestly don't really mind what happens tonight, after losing Emma, I am kinda just hoping Psycho X bombs FTC hilariously against anyone left. :bz I love this entire final 8 besides him.

And I can get on board with Hank, even if he's against Steve/Peter. Because I was telling cards too, that when he was like "I can't win, so I am going to fuck with everyone else!" I was like wtf, but he really never has done that or followed through. He has always tried to get a plan going so he survives. Granted, I can't stand how much of a whiny hypocrite bitch he is, but he's been playing.

The others knew Harry was teetering there and he did pick his side, and I think Anna will too tonight.

I think we'll see Johann, Loki or Steve leave tonight in some combination.

Hard to say. This, more than last round comes down a lot more to who wins shit.

I know and I didn't even see that until he said it.

That said, Anna Marie wants to go to the final 3 with Psycho X and Harry. She will win in that situation, hands down. So I hope that happens. :<3

I don't think anyone caught it aside from Johann :lol: I guess when your ass is on the line you pay attention to the details.

And I hope Anna gets this win. I see a Xavier/Peter/Harry F3 with an Xavier win though? I just don't see Xaveir or Harry thinking they can beat Anna. And I think Steve/Loki will be the next two out barring some kind of immunity run by Steve.

Are they ever going to change in their super heroes permanently or just after they die?
