Sandbag Do I create a new thread in my confessional to post the answers? and is it 1 post for each answer, or can bundle them all up in one post?

Masahiro Sakurai

You can bundle or do one at a time, either or.

A new thread would be appreciated, but isn't mandatory or anything!

Plenty's happened since my last confessional.

There was a deal brokered between Debebe/Pitt/Robin/Samus, with the twins+Falco included while I was on Pink. Deal was to boot me, then a couple of disposable reds. That's a close knit group over there.

Yoshi apparently self voted this round, yeah sure sure, clearly just didn't want to go to rocks.

Wario, myself, Kaz and Martha have come together to take control of Yellow. But I'm not happy settling for that, I need more numbers on my side for when merge hits (and assuming I'm still here). I'm OKAY with Cap and Squirt, they're playing the middle. I can't see them being too loyal if I need to call upon them in a crunch... So this is my plan I've put to Wario and Kaz to help give us an ace up our sleeve:

I would love for whoever wins out of Mario/Plant to come here which would force the 6 tight knit team over there to start devouring their own, cause a split before the merge. Mario would come here for sure. Plant might come back. I reckon Plant is gettable and a number we could scoop up, especially after it was screwed by Yoshi with the 'I missed the deadline' crap. We will need loyal numbers when we hit merge and based on Plants challenge dominance it may not be going anywhere. Why don't we scoop him and use him, prime time to pick him and put him in a jug of water. If you like the idea I'd recommend we create a group chat and put the offer to him, if he comes here we promise him a tight knit 5 (Wario, Kaz, Martha, myself + plant) that will give him some breathing space...

I actually think we could do the exact same thing with Mario, he's been beaten around and would love some form of safety, and has an axe to grind with that 6 and would love some revenge.

The game has definitely heated up, I've thrown a few lies out there. I think Kaz is (or was) very tight with Debebe and Pit, so I've tried to create a little distrust there. May/may not amount to anything. Message to Kaz:

Fyi, while on Pink with Pit & Debebe we discussed trust & green & going to rocks etc which we were all apparently ready to do (little did I know the truth), Pit had said you’d brought my name up, & said no great loss when on original green & I did well getting the safety as there was a fair chance I was looking at votes but to keep that info to myself. I know I was fairly inactive that first week, hence I bare no grudge if that’s true & understand why, but I bring this up to be wary of Pit & as an example of her positioning/dividing to improve her standing, and not being scared to use info from people who trust her, to then go on & build trust with others.

I'm not in a horrible spot, I think I'm good until the merge unless crazy shit happens.

Any thoughts on your duel dominance, you challenge beast? It certainly went a lot better than you seemed to expect!

[King K. Rool]

Haha challenge beast! The only other survey I did was at the merge in Hawaii & smoked that. Others seemed to be scared of it. I do well at them.
The surveys are a good test of ones ability to read the room.

Hey Baron!

Quick reminder to pick your new colours by tomorrow unless you want me picking for you.

When it comes to deciding who to vote into The Ring, how much of a consideration is prior visits/performance?

Having been to the ring before, do you feel you are more or less likely to be voted in again over someone who has not been?

[King K. Rool]

Hey Bag,

Ah give me 5mins & I'll pick something fit for a King.

The only consideration I have right now is how can I best divide and conquer, and stay friendly and safe.

First time I feel like I have an ounce of control...
1) Telling Kaz about Falco's mud slinging (Falco told Debebe some shit in The Ring). Debebe and Kaz have talked it over and now Falco's name is mud. Plus, it shows loyalty to Kaz from myself and builds trust.
2) Falco threw Yoshi's name out there to me, I reported it back to Yosh and suggested P&M as an attempt to weaken Falco for future rounds.
3) Touched base with Robin with a couple of good chats, obviously zero trust and connection from my POV, but I'm keeping friends close and enemies closer. And in all honesty she's never done any wrong by me, when she put my name down she told me beforehand, and it was the obvious thing to do. So you never know, Robin may come in handy. Plus Wario said he hasn't heard back from Robin when I have, plus for me.

I feel like I'm ok with Wario, Debebe, Kaz, Squirtle, Yoshi. By extension Pit and Cap (slightly less so). Falco and P&M I'm not and won't be. Robin I'm not atm, but there's potential.

I'm seen as a less active player, not a huge challenge threat, spent up already and low on cards, don't have a smash ball or eggs. Hence threat levels are low right??
But how does all that factor in when deciding who to send into duel. I honestly think it's minimal, it's all about 'anyone but me' at the moment.

[King K. Rool]

Sandbag I'll select 'White' please

[Sandbag]

Simple and Clean. Will do!

[Masahiro Sakurai]

This is correct.
