Round 5

[Captain Falcon]

Alright, THE CAPTAIN is ready to grace you once again! I know you've missed the pecs, Sam. And Dededude, no reason you can’t enjoy ‘em too.

Now Sammy, what’s this about a hunt? Not against the idea, do love to PUNT and those Metroids are the perfect shape. Don’t need an arm cannon though, my arm is the cannon! C’MON! Dededude, it’s funny you say that re: Kazuya and the bids. Falco has been keen to get Smashville up and out since it’s such a tossup, so THE CAPTAIN had a good chuckle when he saw it was immediately blocked. Can confirm he didn’t use a smash ball on that bid though.

Re: Piranha Plant, I had just thrown some big cards down the drain with the rock draw round (on immunity which I got, and attack which I tied with the twins on so we cancelled each other out. Shit). We kinda knew Petey would bid high and flee, so I thought I’d lowball for GRAB instead to try and meet some fresh faces before the swap. Could probably do with immunity now, but… OH WELL! At least I'm here with y'all. Knew I wasn’t out of the woods, but also felt I had a relatively good shot to survive, we'll see.

But yeah, anyways- still not entirely sure what’s happening on BLUE tonight, but I’ve basically outlined that if it’s me I just wanna know in advance so I can go all in on attack, cos I don’t think anyone would go to rocks for me twice in a row. We’re all on the same page with that- I think we’re just exhausted and wanna get this over with. Once I’ve got the weekend I can go over the whole messed up story of BLUE HELL in more detail. (Ideally on new teams with y’all, or in the Ring, one or the other).

On to swap business: happy for you to go for grab, Sam. Make use of that grapple beam of yours. Then we just put each other high on our lists, right? But if you pick me Sam, and get to choose the colour, I’ve made my colour preference known in the swap thread, PINK all the way baby! So do me a solid will ya? And not sure what y'all have got going on with your respective teams, but I'm deff gonna be open moving forward here and you can count on me as a friendly face wherever we land. Only got groovy vibes from the both of you, and more than ready for the next chapter in this thing!

If there's anything specific we need to work out with these lists, happy to do whatever. 

[King Dedede]

Yes, you must pass on my appreciation to Falco for getting that challenge out of the game at this early stage in proceedings. Poor old Kazuya burning his card We've had some big bids over here on Green, the grab sandbag is about the only one that's come cheaply so far.

Has the weed continued with his posting gifs and pic game? And is it still targeting immune players, will never forget in Round 1 when it was posting pics of me to others trying to get me voted in whilst I was safe here in the Stands. It's looking likely that we might vote Link in this evening. He's had a few too many red bulls, and is a bit of a mad man.

The Ring is not entirely a bad option for one of the sandbag winners next round is it? You'd have a fair chance to get to the team of your choosing, and you'd be able to see what the actual teams are. Maybe I've read the rules wrong, new concept and all, it's hard to know what is happening until it actually happens at times.

Like The Captain, I too will be able to be counted upon if we land together on a swap. I think we all have quite a glowing board presence, so I feel like we would all be able to integrate well together with whomever else we landed with. And yes Sam, if you have any particular way you want me to do my rankings, just sing out my friend.

[Samus]

We've had some big card plays over here as well. DuckHunt (don't say that three time fast) must have blown through his six highest cards so far.

The target on our tribe will probably change depending on if WTF decides to come to us or Blue. From what I hear Captain, she is actually seriously considering joining you! But yeah, if should be Yoshi or Mario that ends up in the Ring tonight. Big lol if she loses the duel, though.

It's looking more and more likely that I'll end up with the Grab Bag from my side tonight. I like the sound of Captain Samus!

And yeah, obviously if we do all end up together...look me up! The swap is where you build your real allies for the rest of the game, and I really do get great vibes from both of you. I don't think we need to get too much into the weeds on the ranking order, but as long you two keep each other high in your lists, we can hopefully end up on the same team. I think there's a chain of people likely to pick one another that would be really cool to see happen.

[King Dedede]

I currently have Robin and Falco quite high on my list too, would you both advise for or against this?

[Samus]

I have no opinion on Falco, but Robin is cool.

[King Dedede]

I just don't want to pick any enemies of you guys Although we gotta have people around that we can send in too, can't just build a team of studs. The Studs and Duds method is best way to go.

[Samus]

Speaking of King Dedede. Dark Pit? Yay or nay?

[King Dedede]

Dark Pit is very solid. Definite Yay.

[Samus]

Good to hear. Had some great banter with him here at the stands the other day.

[King Dedede]

Poor ol' Captain, no one wants to join the Blue team.

[Captain Falcon]

Just saw the duel results, and... WELP! I don't get it, even the immune boys ditching us? I'm sure we'd have put on a good show for them!

[King Dedede]

Yeah you're right they're both immune, surely one of them just goes over to you and tries to make a couple of new pals with the vote prior to the swap. Tossing up between a Link and Wario vote tonight. Can push for Link, since Wario has already had a win, and if you're a chance to be in there tonight Captain, I'd rather feed you whom I consider the weaker option?

[Samus]

Oh man, she was so confident today too. Ouch.

Keeping my fingers and arm cannon crossed for you, Captain.

[Samus]

This is going to close soon, so...good luck one last time!

I'll hopefully be seeing y'all on our new tribe soon.

[Captain Falcon]

Legend, Dededude! Right now… I actually think I’m okay, strangely enough? But absolutely NOT convinced of that, I thought I was okay last time too. So if you’re completely on the fence between the two of them, toss Linkie in there. But whoever it is THE BLUE FALCON will lay the smackdown regardless! Once I’m a bit more clear on what’s going on I’ll try and spill the deets before this is shut off, failing that we’ve got the weekend. It’s been a pretty exhausting week going from 7 to 3, and tonight is gonna be the culmination of all that. Let’s hope it pans out for ol’ Cap!

As for the picks- Falco is good. He’s pretty a pretty solid guy, and despite him voting for me, we never had any promises so no bad blood there. Same with the twins, we butt heads at first but cleared the air somewhat. Squirt has stuck with me, but he’s good with all of us really. Basically everyone on BLUE has a complicated history to some degree, but I’ll be aiming for a "water under the bridge" vibe moving forward, assuming I’m not punted tonight. But there’s no one there I’d dread to be stuck with and no one I’m aching to keep with me, so no worries there. Go for your life!

As for plant, he’s still just been all pics and gifs and what-not. Gonna be a THORN in everyone’s side the further this thing goes on.

Robbie seemed like a cool dude in our brief time at the stands, and had a few exchanges with DP in the free-for-all, so easy for me to slot them up my list. Seconding what Sam said about rest of the game starting at swap, THE CAPTAIN is counting on it!

I’ll pop in when I can here, but I got some scrambling to do still. Otherwise, hoping we all land together or at least all end up in solid positions.

Godspeed, comrades!
