Only major news update is that for some reason, Fantina changed her prevote from a list to just Gardenia...so that's why it was 5-3-1 instead of 6-2-1. So, she's getting some heat but I will stand my her side! This also makes her more of a target than me for the moment, and Maylene is already a super target so this makes me feel good. I think I have to worry about Byron and Crasher Wake the most if it comes to who will target me. Even then, I'm not sure how genuine they were to the girls and I, so there's not much I can do but confront them if I hear they are up to no good. I really hope that Liza wins and defects to our side, I think it would not be too difficult to ensure my safety with her. I hope Maylene and Fantina would be able to do so as well, but at the end of the day what matters most is me, myself, and I. I have a feeling those two are competent at challenges, anyway. I hope so, at least, especially if some deal happens between Crasher and Candice. Right now I think they are still at war with each other, but if they are able to make up for their own purposes of survival...not pretty for me!Oh yeah, the solitary vote for Maylene was soooo Volkner proving his hate for her. I know he sees me as linked to her, and that's bad for the both of us since he'd love to rant and rave to Hoenn about how evil we all are for voting his "innocent" (what a joke!) self out. He's probably sold us and nearly everyone else down the river already! I just hope that May and Wallace realize that Lucas and I are being serious when we said that Volkner is that way. If not, it could be their funerals, especially for May if she really is a HBIC. will be my signature if all three of us are tragically eliminated. Hoping that if all goes to hell, one of us will survive! I trust and adore these two so much, it's just like my BFF allies I've had before except I have two BFFs and not one.

Some of these people make me ill at various points during their messages. Crasher Wake: You know, I really like Gardenia and don't want to boot her, even if she is less active!! Me: I agree, she's cute and it'll be hard seeing her go. But who would go in her place? Crasher Wake: That's the question!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHAHAHA It's like...why hint that you would be interested in changing the boot if you aren't going to actually go anywhere with it? He was probably hoping I'd take the bait further than I did and suggest a name, but with all his kissing up I don't really trust him with any ideas soooo I shut that down. Plus, even if I did trust him I don't have any alternate boot targets in mind for this round. ![]() I don't know, that just distinctly bothered me. He then went on to mention that he hopes she survives...soooo, are you going to try to save her? I hope if he's more open about this with others that they'll tell me because I'm just getting annoyed by these whiffs. Wake also said that he's trying to distance himself from running any type of show...when both Fantina and Maylene have complained about him not owning up to his crap with them. :lol: Although, I'm sure that I will like these moments of Wake in retrospect. I already appreciate his comment that Byron better not go next since he's the only person that didn't completely lie to him I haven't really seen anyone be around or have gotten many messages, so I'm assuming that activity will pick up some more tomorrow when the vote is more in sight! But it also doesn't help that we have a clear weak link to ax! |

Gardenia is going around using Fantina getting an Immunity Pokeball as the reason to keep her. Yeah, that's actually more of a reason for me to want her out, awkward! It is hard talking to Gardenia, though. I'm trying to be as honest as possible since I think pointlessly lying would bite me in the butt? I'm fairly certain she sees the writing on the wall, anyway. The round after this is likely going to be hellish since I imagine that Lucas will be in grave danger of going. Him and May are pretty much the only people who use our secret group forum, so no matter what the outcome for him in a duel scenario May would probably still be pissed at me. Ugh, I wish my secret group partner sucked more! He sucks at staying on top of messages, true, but other than that he's a good guy. I may actually believe that he's not used to this style of communication in games, which he told me a few rounds back. I don't get why else he'd be so shaky when it comes to messages. |

My intuition has not failed me just yet According to Fantina, Crasher Wake was up to no good! However, I guess it's more for next round but the seeds of suspicion were in that message and I saw it before being told about it for sure. He (along with my dad) wants Fantina to vote with them the next vote and then for the three of them to swing Lucas and I to their side over item greed to target either Candice or Maylene so we can be the last group standing. I don't think this plan will work at all, since like Fantina said Lucas would never turn on Candice in this manner and he also likes Maylene so yeah, no! I hope Maylene gets on eventually so I can update her with this. I'd also not mind telling Candice if the situation was right, but I don't think she needs more ammo to go after them? But yeah, I had a feeling that Crasher Wake was mad at all of us, so if he's willing to get rid of Maylene next round then my gut was right. My only worry with this plan is if Crasher Wake and Byron decide to go to Maylene and Candice in order for them to be the last group standing so that means they would target myself or Lucas. I'd like to think that Maylene would stick up for me or that Crasher Wake and Byron would rather Lucas be targeted there, but it's still worrisome. It really depends on how desperate those two are, since I think and hope the Candice-Crasher Wake hatred is a real thing. Fantina also worked on getting Lucas to solidly side with us to vote for Gardenia, but I'm expecting Candice and him to try to protect her still. So, right now, it's 4-3 since I'm sure Crasher Wake and Byron don't want to stick their heads out right now. As Fantina told me, if Maylene votes with us it's 5-3 and if she votes for Byron with the other three it's 4-4. I have faith that she will side with us and that we can damage control Candice and Lucas with the entire Gardenia not being around much excuse. That's not even much of a stretch of the truth, although she's admittedly been here more for this round. |

I hope I can since she is supposed to be one of my top allies. I just haven't seen her around in forever which sucks since she even told me she wanted to plan ahead of time rather than scramble! She shouldn't be against the idea of taking Gardenia out, I think. I don't see why she'd want Byron out unless she's trying to appease Candice, but it's better to appease Fantina who is also in our core trio. If Lucas was actually woo'd by Fantina into voting for Gardenia, it'd make life 10x easier since he could get Candice but if not then she'll just have to deal with it. Speaking of Candice, she hasn't even mentioned the vote to me so either she knows I'm not budging (I did tell her Gardenia last time if there were no mutineers) or she's being surprisingly chill about it. Probably the first one. I'm on anon right now to avoid Gardenia's gaze. I'm already risking it enough by acting like I don't want to vote for her to her while she's throwing all of these reasons out on why she shouldn't be targeted and so forth. Just seems like she could try to get me to flip since I'm pretending to not be absolutely against her. I'd probably try it! |

Gardenia is actually arguing her case so strongly. It makes me want her out even more since she clearly knows what she's doing and I'm not close to her. Luckily, she gave me more ammo to use to make sure that Byron and Crasher Wake vote for her. She threw them under the bus big time, so if Crasher Wake is still feeling bad he really shouldn't and I will make sure that he knows this. ![]() I dread having to message her again, but if it comes down to it I can say that she is truthfully the person I'm the least closest too. |

I'm a bit "ehh..." at Lucas right now because he basically messaged me asking why I was voting Gardenia over Byron and acting all conflicted about it. Fantina already explained our case, so I just reiterated what she said and then added that if we vote out Byron, he'd just go over to Hoenn and be a bitter berry about all of it. He'd realign with Volkner, no doubt, and from there it'd just get worse? I don't like that outcome. Meanwhile, if Gardenia lost we could get a mutineer or if she won she could come back or go over there while not being all that bitter about everything. Volkner and Dawn are already making Sinnoh look like some type of worst region ever (which we are not, although if what May and Wallace say is to be believed than I guess their votes are more dramatic -_-). He acted like this one message completely convinced him, so I'm just being sketchy about all of it. I really hope that he's being genuine here! Other than that, not much to say but Fantina is way too sloppy at trying to make me favor her over Maylene. Like, saying that you love Maylene for being such a dominant presence but I'm number one in your confessional rankings is just the fakest sounding thing ever. She's charming enough without this stuff thrown in, it's just so bleh. I really hope I don't sound as fake as she does! |

I'm so concerned about what happened to Maylene, still! I feel like my heart will have to go on if she doesn't show up soon, but she was fantastic and I'm still confused as to why she hasn't been around. Watch her having just went somewhere for a brief vacation and all of my worrying look dumb. Fantina doesn't seem to be that concerned about her, so this is probably the case. |

I feel like I am crushing hopes so much in this game. Back in round one, I messaged Dawn admitting to her that she was the boot and she logged off shortly afterwards. Now, I did the same thing with Gardenia since I'm not going to act like I'm flipping to give her false hope and she did the same thing. I've never been this direct about the boots before, but to be fair both times it was so that Dawn could hate me maybe a little less and then that Gardenia already knew her name was being thrown all around town. I just hope the hope crushing doesn't happen to me later on! That'd be so karmic that I should probably stop tempting fate right now! |

Gardenia handled my stop the BS PM very well! If she wins and goes to Hoenn like I'm expecting her to, I really hope she can survive. Even if she's totally playing me with this entire "I'm not mad at you" thing, it's a way better effort than anything Dawn and Volkner had done. I'm so ready for this round to be over just to get back into the swing of things. My dad is lined up as the next boot, so I'm definitely going to get some flack for voting my own dad off. I can say that I tried to save him all I want to, though. |
