Part V

[Falco]

I'll acknowledge both my Blue & Pink roots into the merge please Sandbag

[Falco]

If anything I might be a tad over-connected. I prefer to play with an enemy in the game so that I have someone to focus on when people ask what I want to do, but I really don't have one of those here.

Obviously I'm tightest with the ladies (although never really tested that bond too hard yet)

She and I both have our old connection from Blue with Cap & Squirtle

There's the Pink thing so add in & . I feel like this one might fall pretty quickly if Robin loses. I would like to see him take out since he's such a wildcard and so good in the challenges, but maybe life would be easier if he just lost & left.

Then there is a growing bond with which has definitely been fostered by . This one is the least strong, but the most volatile. I could see both being targets pretty soon, but I think they hold the most potential for creating some chaos. If they game splits into a Majority/Minority split where each 'side' sends someone in, then these will likely be a big part of the minority. I don't know that I want to commit to their side, but I would like them to not be eyeing me as the target they are throwing in.

& are the ones most distant from me but the most workable (Well Plant is more distant but pretty much unworkable).Marth will require the most work to build a bond with, but he was pretty easy to connect with in the very early days so here's hoping that holds true now that he's embedded somewhere.

I have nearly no connection with Kazuya but we did have our very brief fling that landed me the Smashball & this rounds safety - gotta appreciate that. Plus he's linked in with the Gold core at a guess. Marth too for that matter.

I might take this round ham&cheesy in regards to pushing names and just see what happens. A lot of people will expect my vote to be with theirs, so some choices will have to be made.

[Falco]

It takes four times as long to read a Squirtle PM but dammmmn, sounds hot over on Gold.

Now. Why did I never get this kind of info from the likes of Yoshi who seemed to be spilling to me. Seems like he was keeping certain things under his hat.

[Falco]

Also I should mention I forgot Yoshi in that whole write-up above, which might explain why he's going to be the easiest name to throw out when people ask. Not th enemy I wished for, but (from other people's points of view) a very understandable peson for me to target here.

*narrator: He did not take the round easy in regards to pushing names*

I've suggested yoshi to a lot of people. I need an enemy as mentioned before. Yoshi is no enemy, but he is a name I can happily toss out because he is outside my Blue & Pink cores, and not even part of any Wario/KRool thing that happens. And unlike Kazuya, he doesn't seem connected to the centre of Gold either.

I also started an 12-person PM chain that will last about as long as Robin/Plant does. Why? I'm immune and may as well.

He even got me the render and everything

Enjoy!

[Falco]

I am indeed a touch drunk. I should have commented in here a bit more about what my intentions were with each PM, whoops. I might have been as surprised as the rest of you to read my logic tomorrow

I will say my last one to Wario is (crafted to read as) too honest. I want him to 1) know I am not about to be dragged into just throwing random votes around at the expense of my own game but also 2) fairly willing to do whatever if I'm not caught doing it and 3) am okay with setting sides against each other if it can work.

Hey Falco!

Welcome to the merge 🥳 Lookin' smooth.

How would you categorise each member of the Free-For-All (using some sort of social/non-social scale or similar, whatever categories you think work)

How do you see yourself working between these categories?

[Falco]

I will come back to your Qs later after a few laps of the message box.

I took the whole day off and it was great. I don't think I'd have had that much restraint if I didn't have the Shield on. But I do, so I did.

Before I left, I mentioned Yoshi's name to a few people. Nice agreeable boot that anyone not holding an egg should want gone sooner over later. I come back to hear that 'Pink' want Yoshi gone and they are voting Pink. Good god, lets not start a side war here In what world do you want to pit yourself up against the side that had two guys volunteer and win, they may be confident you think?

So I'm going to go do what I can do to stem this game becoming a side war, because that doesn't suit me longer-term. But I don't hold out much hope because I've missed a whole day and who knows what else went on.

Also lol if it's true that Yoshi is asking people to vote with him to pick his opponent. I guess that egg diet of his ain't so strict after all. Loopholes abound.

[Falco]

So Robin thinks OG Green & Gold dare teaming up. Word came in from Pit apparently. They'll want to take out Myrtle & Robin & Me in some order.

I mean, it's not the end of the world if those two were pitted against each other tonight. I could sit back and let that happen. Next round we're no threat and someone scoops us up to make a move, maybe OG Blue, maybe Wario/K.Rool.



The part of it I don't like is being told I have to vote K.Rool (cos he's weaker than Yoshi). Yoshi sucks too dw about it. Haven't you seen his results? It would suit me to vote for Yoshi and not trash my K.Rool bond.

But if I do that, then there's a split on Robin/Myrtle maybe, and they go to Jury cursing me (or worse, staying in and cursong me). Whereas the goal is to have us control one side of the vote at least, pick K.Rool as the opponent and win.

I mean okay, but then what? We are still three (or four if Pit sticks around) and we will just get targeted over and over. I think I'll stick around all night and make it not be Pink v Gold somehow. Maybe I get Wario & K.Rool onboard with a better offer.

[Falco]

Also fuck Pit, he didn't tell me this.

Operation Cat among the pigeons is a-go.

So far this involves telling Dede that on my secret OG Blue batphone that Cap & Squirtle are telling me it's gonna be him. And to Cap/Squirtle I'm saying how Dede heard that it's him and he is insisting we don't do Yoshi. How it has to be someone unproven (i.e. Cap or Squirtle if Dede was keeping his green bonds alive).

[Falco]

Maybe I have too little faith in Pit & Dede.

I would have much preferred to not look like a Pink voting block here. Especially if I don't trust that we are going to be. But maybe it's inavoidable.

[Falco]

Once again, I curse my TZ for these games. Right NOW feels like scramble hour for me, but no-one else has come to their decisions yet (or they have and I'm out of their loops). But I need to sleep. And the sooner I go, the more chance of returning to get some scramble time in. At least to hear what the vote is.

But of course, the more time I have then, the more chance i have to actually influence the vote.

Guess I shouldn't have taken that day off.
