The judges vote between the bottom two, I think? Idk, I'm not familiar with Idol rules. We don't have that kind of shit here.

If I'm eliminated by one vote, Malarkey, I'm gonna hunt you down, so vote ^_^

Judges can use a "save" I think, but I don't think there's more than that. See, people last season made deals with me where if I could pick their songs, I'd guarantee x votes.

I should re-name this thread with a subtitle (possibly OT thread). Seriously, this is the same one since the merge? tsk tsk

I think I'm going to use this thread for all the post-merge stuff, so dwi.

People make deals in this shit? I need a VFTW-coalition with someone. And you could totally choose my song too :ph43r:

I was not a player, nor a judge. I randomly stumbled into the thread and saw the theme and was like "Ok, whoever let's me pick their song, I'll promise 6 votes" or something. Each person did get about 4-8 recommendations from me, but I think only two people chose one of mine.

Anyway, let's get this shit back on track. Some formats have been almost exhausted already. Do you have any strategy in terms of what could/should be used soon and what you might want to wait for?

Personally, I want to get rid of those that require me winning a challenge to stay alive, like Arena and Conga, because I know that I'll have a rough week when I won't make like... four nights out of four <_< But, gameplaywise those are stupid formats for me right now. Playing conga can backfire easily with the wrong person winning power. With arena they won't vote me in, because of my mad skillz, but with Carl or Rico in the arena, we might lose the challenge so it's risky too.

That leaves four formats. Man overboard? Nah. We lost our three strongest competitors back to back (curse you Zzy for eliminating Marquon for this reason alone <_<), so we could very well screw ourselves over. It's a straw of luck, really.

That leaves three formats. Big Brother? Nah. It would screw us over just like conga, as it completely depends on who wins. I imagine we'll have no BB rounds until the very last one, lol.

That leaves two formats - Survivor and Little Sister. In Survivor, if Beata and Elektra are true to their words, we could very easily get majority... but if they're not? They might just vote me or Zzy out as "strong competitors". Also it would come across as rather fishy if the minority changed the format to Survivor. But it's still a risk that is worth taking, IMO.

Little Sister... eh. The only reason I'm toying around with the idea of Little Sister is because I don't think that Stefan or Donovan would give up immunity to vote, because they know that they have targets on their back, so in certain scenarios even if one of them wins, we could still maintain the upper hand.

So right now I'm thinking either Little Sister of Survivor, but I gotta go and take a power nap because it's almost midnight and challenge is in four hours, lol. Actually, I developed a completely new sleeping pattern. If anyone is interested in that, let me know.

Also, I feel like such a confessionalmonster today... go me! :D

confessionalmonsters <3 I've said before that I sometimes pity hosts that have to deal with mine. Well... they usually just ignore it because when I post 4 1500 word updates within an hour, what can they say usually other than "thanks for the update" if that? :lol:

I love this breakdown of the formats though and the benefits/worries about each.

Well, it's expected of you to be a confessionalmachine, isn't it? :unsure: :P

I'm so fucking tired. I was laying in my bed for the last two and a half hours and couldn't sleep one bit. This is going to bite me in the ass.

If the stars align tonight, we will either get the head of the dragon... or the other head of the dragon. Beata and Elektra are so eager about it, Beata especially. If we can get into Survivor... then tonight should be a night to remember ;)

There is one catch though - this shit needs to be a clear blindside. I hate that people can accumulate a shitton of items and be like Donovan... I hate when anything favors challengewhores. There's no fun in that. (By the way, am I the only one thinking that Donovan is absolutely stupid? His itemusage for the last two rounds was abysmal. Why change the format from Conga to BB, and why not wait with it? Why give yourself guaranteed immunity, when someone is SET to leave?). Anyway, to accomplish that this is a clear blindside, shit needs to get done in Survivor. And what is the catch, you might ask? If the passangers change the format to Survivor, that will tip them off. We can't have Donovan magically pulling out an idol out of his ass. We just can't. So I'm telling Beata to convinve them to go to Survivor... and hopefully she'll be able to do it.

Other formats... Little Sister is the one I'd like to play in, if not Survivor. That is also capable of getting rid of Donovan, with the right people.

Anyway, tonight is either me/zzy/donovan, unless something scary happens... I'm not ready to leave the game just yet. I'm simply not.

alol, Stacey was the one who changed the format from CL to BB, not me. I understand your annoyance with my item plays a bit more now :lol:

Nope, Stefan allowed her to pick. I was way too selfish to share my stuff.

Anyway, just to pet you know (if it wasn't already obvious) that I am not mad at you or anything :lol: I hardly put forth any effort to know you in this and I'm grateful you even considered voting for me, even though it was out of disgust for Doclara. I am still a fan ^_^
