Part V

[Falco]

Honestly I don't normally lie so much in ORGs. And I really shouldn't do it here either - not if I'm supposed to be straight man & ace co-pilot Falco Lombardi. But I just find myself typing complete fabrications a lá Wario style schemes.

I've played like this before, but usually I am repping a supervillain or something, so it's taken as more fool them for believing it.
If I made it to the end, I think the Jury speaking to each other would sink any chance I had at winning the lot. It is fun right now at least.

The other nasty habit I've fallen into here is being cocky about my incoming duel win. Like, I heard my name was coming up soon, but I don't know that it is. All this talk of how I know it is me might just manifest that whoops. I will refuse a KRool opponent anyway. KOing him doesn't progress my game at all as easy as it looks to be.

Ahh, my first direct warning about being caught spewing shit yesterday, courtesy of Cap. I should own it, but I won't. So I'll pawn it off on Wario, but of course, once you get that reputation, there's no shaking it.

[Falco]

Hmm, okay. I got a bit too into the spewing shit everywhere yesterday, and even continued it today, to the point where I don't feel good about it. Like a surgical mistruth here and there is good gaming, but yesterday & today was emotional BS vomit all over everyone. All I've managed to do it fuck with some people here and there, and gain myself a bad reputation. I was bound to be caught out - too many people talking to other people to not be.

I'm kind of okay with it though. There are some positives to the whole mess. Like Robin & Myrtle seeing me as a hot messy player, but at least on their side in all this. I've probably scared away a lot of potential allies for good, but I'm pretty sure they were lost already, so fuck em, I'm not gonna feel bad about it.

The one one I feel a bit bad about is Cap, and that's not entirely because he is the one to call me on it and maybe I borked what potential we have. But to work with him here is to march to a beat I don't like the shape of at all.

I suppose it's a self-defense mechanism to isolate myself but be okay with being isolated because it wasn't my fault they pushed me away (after I fucked shit up ). Then later whne I'm inevitably caught in the challenge-whore loop, I get to blame the rest of them instead of myself. Self-perpetuating. Emphasis on 'self'.

Its 2am and nearly time for bed and I have no idea where I'm voting except Yoshi >> others >> KRool >> Robin/Myrtle.

No-ones really bit at all.

[Falco]

Today was a hot round. I didn't have a whole lot of faith that any plan that was brought to me would stick, but it certainly revealed some hands.

I would be very surprised if K.Rool survived this, and equally as surprised if I didn't become a target next (especially with Wario immune).

On a positive note, the game should be much more wide open now. I can see me hooking back up with Blue to target a Green. I can see my getting close with Robin but working opposite sides of the vote. I can see KRool (if there's some miracle) and Wario thinking I am tight with them.

The one thing I can't see if my bond to Dede/Pit being any more than a front while we do whatever we really do.

[Falco]

I'm thinking this deserves a Part VI, since we've clearly moved to another Phase of the game now.
