What a sad round last round was. I was really resolved to see Johann going, I knew that one was for sure. And it suuuucks. He was so amazing in this, especially even more so the last few days and he was so hilarious and spot-on with his opinions. He says everything I am thinking about most shit. Even now in the jury, he is just killing it. It's brilliant and hilarious.

Just when I was all for Hank there, he gets got? ;/ I wasn't expecting him to go at all. So that kinda sucked, but I am not sad that Steve won, that was amazing. I was actually pretty much resolved to Steve leaving too. Even though I really did not want to see him go. I still don't. And it's hard watching everything going on. Stupid ass Peter is itching to betray him to win? I don't even know if he can. It would have looked a lot better for him without Hank and Johnny on jury. But no one else really hates him legit but like Tony? So I don't know.

And then we have Anna, I don't know what the fuck she is doing here. And now I know exactly why she's in these shitty situations. She puts herself in them and I have no idea why she is doing this the way she is. Here is what I mean...

This was her confessional after the round:

She talks about how she wants to go to the finals with Psycho X and Harry. She says she wants to get close to Peter and Steve to not target her, which is smart. But then she says that hypocritical shit about them being in every alliance, when she has done the same thing so lol? I don't know with that, but whatever. :bz

Anyways, she states her goals and shit. So you would think she wouldn't be promising the world to her targets right? Yeah, not right. This PM she sent Steve is just too much:

Now, with Survivor. I don't think this is our final format. I think we'll have one Survivor, then bam, surprise, Big Brother, and again, some other shit for the final round. Substitute "Big Brother" with whatever formats we might have played already that can be feasibly played out at top five, and you got it. That's just my theory but if we're sticking to Survivor here, I am not worried. We all have doublers and I am committed to final three with you and Peter, that's six votes between us and even if Loki were to vote opposite us they only have 5. It's literally a cakewalk if we just manage to beat them out for immunity, but again I suck and can't even help you guys win that tomorrow for our side ew.gif

Another thing, is just reaffirming our trust and alliance. I'm in. This is it for me. I want to hear the same thing from you and Peter because I feel like paranoia will be extremely over the top in this particular stage of the game, and we cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to it. Nor can we ignore the obvious which is that they will be calling us all jury threats, and may not actually see us as "together" but will be telling me things about you, telling you things about me and why I need to go, etc. I want to ignore it because I truly do feel like this final three is an even playing field here. Loki wins if he's in the finals, duh. Xavier is an ass but he's going to have support. He's been the most present player this entire game and I feel like people will feel obliged to vote for him, and on top of that he's so strong in challenges - if he was around and won it could really fuck some plans up in say, that final round. Harry I won't pretend is a threat - but no one here is going to be audacious enough to try to take him there, except Charles. What do you think Captain? OUVdDWM.gif


Why the fuck would she sell all of that so hard? She is going to either do this or vote against them. So why go this far? I understand protecting yourself from getting votes. But if she's with Charles and Harry, she doesn't need to lay this on that thick with Steve. I don't get it. What is she really going to do tomorrow? I bet you even she doesn't know, lul

Ugh.

Why do I put myself through the agony of getting invested in this game and with certain people? Every night it's this same shit. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this F6 and all, but Johann may have been my overall favorite in this game, and I just didn't want to say it because the minute I say that, these people go.

Hank? Well ok. He had a good story arc in this game, and he and I were joking about it yesterday. I just sort of feel like in his case "it was time". I appreciate his resiliency and resolve, and really I did kind of want to see how this jury particularly would react to him being in the finals if he made it, but I'd come to terms long enough ago with him being on borrowed time.

I'm going to try to catch up now. I should be around tonight if you need any help or anything, but I know the rest of the game is basically cruise control.

Also, I don't get those people (Charles and Hank). They talk about Johann being an idiot or something? In what way? Because he didn't pick Parker? Truth be told, I don't know what would have come of that if they switched the last two. Would Charles and Hank go for Rogers in that situation, or would they all collapse on Loki?

What's Johann supposed to do there? The fact that he didn't have a Tesseract meant that pulling in Parker wouldn't help him in the slightest. He would have someone immune that may vote for him to make it 3 votes against 2 people with 4 votes that will vote together.

Anna completely sealed his fate. It was a good move there by her, even though I hate that it happened. There was literally nothing that could have been done differently there.

This is one of the hottest skins ever. I love the header, and how it looks like Iron Man is flying over the city in the background and how it connects to the banner. It's just so pretty.

I'm debating whether or not I should have picked Loki over Johann. It happened so fast and a bunch of shit was running through my head

and that's exactly the point I was making yesterday or the day before. There's a little bit of the uncertainty with Tesseracts and whatnot, although I think Harry could have made a mistake by telegraphing that he was getting one. Or maybe that was a good move. I'm not really sure. However, knowing that 5/8 had full Tesseracts, you plan around that. Do you have a cheat sheet for if whomever wins? Because you don't know if they're going to dump pieces on Loki or Schmidt or something. There are clear decisions to make, but it's imperfect information there that makes it tough.

Realistically at this point, Loki is the only one without a Tesseract, so if there's a 3some that doesn't involve him, they absolutely MUST exploit that. If he makes it to F5, then everyone will be back on even footing, casting 2 votes each. If he wants to comment on challenges and power and whatnot, it will possibly come down to him not having a Tesseract. However, how about the fact that people didn't gift him shit until they had like 0 other options? :lol: I'm not sure if that's a mark against him for having poor relationships with the right people, or a mark for him because they were spooked by the thought of handing a Tesseract to someone that has been a social threat.

I think enough of the standing players say that Rogers is "obvious winner" and whatnot, and maybe it's true, but I think they're overestimating things. I think the Aqua days will be a huge mark against him, and some of them on jury have been talking about that. Not only did he fuck up the pick-em, but then the "woe is me, vote me, save Peter" stuff is not the type of thing that many will be too happy with. It will only get worse over time depending on who goes there.

Anyway, one of my favorite things about the confessionals after last round are the comments by Parker and Rogers about how they view their relationship.

Parker is worrying that he'll look like the "Falco" to Rogers's "Krystal". Rogers is there saying that Parker his been out in front the whole time and he may look like he's been riding coattails. It's a really bizarre, yet intriguing dynamic. These are the arguments that people say to the opposition for a reason to keep them, but they're doing it to themselves. Personally, I see the quality in both of the games they've played in different ways. Not necessarily the same angle they assume about each other, nor with the same conviction. However, what I'm taking away from this is that it seems that they both are trying to set themselves up so they're not "let down", and possibly trying to give themselves reason to separate from the other, which would serve no purpose other than to ensure that the F3 is 3 of the 4 other people. If they fold, it's mostly a matter of which of the others goes with Charles and Harry.

She knows how much I usually hate the MASSIVE headers on boards, especially with the banner itself not at the top, but I agree that this works really well.

Should have had Iron Patriot instead of Stark there though! :lol:

So anyway, this first round, shouldn't it mostly come down to Anna?

It seems simple to do a "everyone hates (or wants to boot) Parker/Rogers" and just boot whomever is not immune, or take a pick. However, they're trying to make a F3 with her, which would be a majority if they voted together.

However, I think the assumption on the other side is that she's completely on board with booting one of them. She probably is, but I'm not completely certain.

I guess it's funny because maybe the intention is to boot her at 5 or something, and then Loki at 4 when he doesn't win, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing the big picture for some of these people. They talk about how she's clearly a jury threat, but are worried more about Rogers.

So let's just say that Rogers goes this first round. Seriously, what is to stop Anna/Loki from throwing in with Parker and solidifying F3 there? I don't think she's too afraid of either, and I don't know exactly where Parker fits in, regarding who he's worried about.

If Rogers is gone, what else would he have though? Sure, he could go with Charles and Harry, which is what they want him to do, but I think ultimately expectations would be that he would side with those 3, boot Charles at 5 if they can, and then boot Loki at 4 and F3 with Anna/Harry? I don't even know if that's reasonable.

Well, you missed a lot tonight, old man. :bz

But everything went really well, I am pretty happy with the game, not gonna lie. I was so fucking dreading Psycho X making the end and keeping up that crazo attitude of utter and complete delusional hypocrisy, I am so glad that didn't happen.

I am gonna get high and then do a new blog, you really need to wake the fuck up and get online though before I sleep.
