Hello ladies. I hope you are enjoying your Goes Wrong experience to date. I had no idea who to invite and it may seem counterintuitive to invite the same people from another thread however Annie as Mrs. Wimblegate was the first person I spoke to and I am glad I have the opportunity to reconnect with her (though likely briefly) and Aunt Diana Rigg as Narrator was one of Wimblegate's choices.

After finally sobering up some (oh who am I kidding? It's nearly 1am, no one here is sober.) let's start again.. it was nearing bed time for Aunt Diana, when suddenly a FaceTime call came in from someone other than her niece Sandra begging for her to assist her with another production from her shoddy and incompetent acting troupe, it was actually the Stage Manager himself Trevor, who rang up the iconic and legendary actress Dame Diana Rigg as well as the subpar and awkward for her roles actress Annie Twosomethinglli and invited the ladies back to his personal space for the night of their lives...Well, perhaps that last line was reaching? I'm not sure if this would be the night of our lives. Trevor, but I'm willing to find out! That said, before I get any further, I appreciate the invite. And I apologize to both you and Annie here for not having posted in her room tonight, truth is, I felt a little awkward with your exchange between yourself and Camille, and didn't wish to meddle with that too much. Plus, I actually haven't had the time to be around here like I thought I would tonight, I got off work and had to finish another project and this bloody format is a bit much for me and my schedule. I NEED to sleep, but at the same time, I also need to settle up some conversation about the vote and all for Team Rigg. For you, Trevor, I believe your team is going to be immune. I think that was settled even before I got home, but don't quote me on that. I for one, will be voting your team to be immune. My team isn't as simple unfortunately, I am only contact with 2 out of 6 of us, having no spaces with the Trumpeter, Dennis Deer Head or Justice Shawcroft. So I'm relying on others to hopefully help me with my decisions and everything. This format isn't ideal for my team, as we didn't send that many messages while working on that stupid challenge that wasn't a challenge. And Dennis/Smee was somewhat of an "easy" vote, since he'd rarely been around and didn't really send missives much so it was relatively painless, I mean he also self-voted and left 7-0, so you can imagine it was hardly difficult for us. I realize your vote was much more intense, Trevor? I saw your conversation with Camille, and I'm sorry you had to go through such a thing in such an early round. Congratulations though on your immunity and return. I know you feel slighted and all, and I can understand why. But if I can give you a word of advice? Try not to take it so personally, I mean yes, I realize it probably stung a bit to go out like that, but you've got a second chance, mate. I say you push forward and use it to your advantage. Most returnee twists don't happen until later down the line, at least you haven't missed much! Tells us a bit about what happened there, did you win a challenge? Will others return? I'm excited for some details, and do look forward to conversing with you more and hopefully seeing you rebuild a path through The Goes Wrong ORG. That said, my apologies for the lengthy message. But I will be going to bed after I check into a couple of rooms, and I did want to touch base and be as candid as I could, and hopefully we can bond a bit in this small quarters, since I think most of the other rooms aren't as intimate and using this space to our advantage feels like the way to go, yes?

Is it only the three of us here? I fancy this choice

Yes, @winblegate, only the three of us. As Aunt Diana Rigg as Narrator suggested, the other room may have been somewhat awkward so I wanted an opportunity to connect with you both outside of that. Our vote was 4-1-1 with Richard self-voting and myself voting for Tootles, who, along with Mick, conversations had not got out of first gear. Prior to that, I (thought I) had good conversations with Camille, Isobel and Richard so I felt quite confident that we had four players that were active and engaged, with a fifth (Mick) unavailable through the weekend but generally well-received by the group. I arrived late to the challenge as it appears I am in a different time zone to the others so several tasks had been completed before I had an opportunity to contribute. It does seem that Mick and Tootles felt confident in their conversations with Camille and Isobel and simply chose not to engage with me on the same level as the others. How are you finding the game so far? As mentioned above, Wimblegate's first missive to me made quite a first impression. It is safe to say that that episode of Masterchef will not be shown until much later in the evening! Diana, I quite like the style with which you have approached your character. Unfortunately, I have abandoned my character here as I don't know the show, don't know the character and have limited time to connect with people outside of Team Harris. I believe I cannot vote or be voted for in this phase but I can influence. Diana, I do hope your news is true and that Team Harris are safe. If that is not the case, I do ask you consider that you suggest that Richard is Totally Not Possessed By Vengeful Spirits. With me not being able to be voted for, Richard is a sitting duck in this tribal council and I think he would be a deserving character to continue in this game for now. I have not submitted my Vengeful Spirit votes as yet but instead of simply writing your names down, are there people in your tribe I can nominate that may assist either of you? Good luck. I hope to cross paths with you again at another point in this game ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)

Trevor, I'll shoot straight with you. I told Camille not too many moments ago that I'll be placing my Totally Not Possessed By Vengeful Spirits because I trust her. So I can't be using on that unfortunately. On the other hand, you seem happy voting out one of Tootles or Mick and I think that's the right play. Camille and Isobel are a duo (don't quote me on that, it's just the impression I have) and they seem powerful so if you can patch that relationship, you can be the third wheel. And I'd love to work with you three. I think they're giving you pause at the moment due to the last Tribal Council but I'd say aligning with them is the play here? I'm not aware of the dynamics inside your tribe, though.
Did you seriously leave when you had one person self-voting and one person who barely talked? That's absolutely ludicrous! Just the thought of that happening to me haunts me. I understand if you felt somewhat injusticed by that, and I'm glad you're back. Could you share how you came back? Is that allowed?
I'm finding this game swell. I've been quite talkative in the past couple of hours and this energy seems to be lacking from the rest? I had so many appointments last week and I'm trying to make up for my activity then. I wouldn't be surprised if I was skewed towards the bottom along with the person that was voted out but I can't know that.
I guess the important question is, do you think Camille and Isobel both would vote for Richard here, and if we can sway their opinion?
And to lady Rigg, may I ask where did you get that information that Team Harris will be immune? I would like to offer you my version of events concerning what happened at Team Suchet here. We had the only non-unanimous vote (Richard self-voted on Harris) and there was no easy option. Everyone was active and involved. So I'd appreciate very much if we could earn immunity this time around. I do not understand how a group of people came to the conclusion that Team Harris should be immune. Camille and Isobel should be safe, and that's all that matters to me because I haven't shared much of anything with the rest. I did actually talk to Mick, but nothing on the other two. So I'd like to see them go more than anyone else.

Thank you Mrs Wimblegate. I appreciate your honesty. I was also of the impression that Camille and Isobel were a duo, hence me asking Camille if she was pinning her vote decision on Isobel. They are certainly the pivot point at the moment. I do not think I can be the third wheel in that relationship - I think the other three are higher in the totem pole than I am. I did think that Richard was perhaps third but Camille's responses have made me second guess this.
I've only given you my perspective. The fact the vote went the way it did suggests someone had better conversations with Mick and Tootles than I did. As I suggested in the other thread, Mick and Tootles gave me one-liners and I found that very difficult to anchor a conversation to that and I did not see any effort from either of them to expand.
My journey back consisted of the three eliminated players involved in a challenge where we had to agree who would choose one of three clouds and in which order. The three clouds represented a return to the game, elimination from the game and the option to eliminate one of the other members. I'm not quite sure how things worked because I suggested an order based on arrival in the thread and by the time I got back, I had won the challenge by choosing the cloud that sent me back to the game but I was not the first to choose a cloud.
Is there anyone in particular you feel is lacking energy? I'll be straight up in saying I have no interest in talking to anyone that growls, grunts or provides no communication of substance. I'm not sure that we can discuss other games here but I just don't see the point in making an effort with such characters. I want to talk and connect and have more than one line to respond to. I understand this is a game but if you don't know what people think, they are likely going to remove you at some point. I would rather get such people out of the way first.
As above, Camille's responses have made me second guess myself because I would have expected Camille, Isobel and Richard to work together, leaving Mick and Tootles as the vote today. But given the way the last vote worked out, I have little confidence for Richard, which, again, as I've expressed in the other thread, would be a shame because he is putting in an effort and deserves to make it further than other players in my opinion. I think you can sway their opinion. I've made my thoughts clear to generate discussion because I would rather have vibrant people in the game than a sea of snakes. It shouldn't take much arm twisting but if Camille and Isobel can see they have something to work with with themselves and Richard, that should stand them in good stead in the next phases. Of course, if they have allies in Mick and Tootles that others don't, they have a degree of safety that others don't. But I also expect that to make them targets to players who know this, which is why I'm telling you both. My playing field is not level so I am doing my best to level it, though I do understand that if landed on a tribe with the two of you, Camille and one of Mick or Tootles, you might have a pretty solid four without me.
How did you go with Mick? I'm not asking for details. I'm curious on quantity and quality of activity.

An option to eliminate??? How vile. I'm glad that worked out for you. I thought you weren't around very often because you had the lowest activity and that made me think you didn't help in the challenge but you're surely flipping my expectations around dearie.
Dear, the lack of energy I meant I think it was a time zone thing because it's still quite early in both parts of the world, occident and orient. Were you talking shit about the Croc, though? I've heard it has made some developments with other folks but so far not much to me. It growls a lot. I also get what you mean, and in Team Suchet I can assure you that there was no one like that. Every single person was trying their best at writing concise messages.
I'll try talking to Camille about the vote and your feelings. We have my own room with us three to do so. I think she's not around currently.
Mick is decent? He came in his own room saying he felt bad for not saying anything last Wednesday, he said he thought there wasn't anything to be done since the board was all messed up. He also said that was his only room, which was a feels bad moment. I told him that I'd ask you to invite him but of course that wasn't possible.

Trevor, I mentioned to Isolbel (Whom is in my room) that instead of burning those bridges, you're seeing more of the logics to what happened on your team. I did tell her that I've heard in several rooms (Though I have yet to post in any since I woke up yet.) that Lucy is quite inactive and not really present in rooms she is present in, and from what I've gathered, she is who your team is voting. That's what they've said anyway, the ones I can speak to. As for your elimination, I believe Annie here is correct, that taking the peaceful and redeeming route is for the best. Isobel said she is open to discussing things with you, and apologises about the vote. But she did say that at the time Lucy was more present and around, and things just went the way they did, the girls don't seem malicious or that they cast you out over anything terrible. I think it was just the luck of the draw that day, but I understand trust is a bit broken between those you did believe had your back, hopefully after this bloody round concludes you can have some conversations with those girls, I do think it's to your benefit. I for one, as well as Annie here are very much willing to see what the future holds for us three, I absolutely appreciate this space where we can be candied and upfront about things, it's refreshing compared to other rooms I'm in where things aren't as transparent because the amount of actors in them. That said, Annie as Mrs. Wimblegate Scrooge is in my room, and he's asked me to pass a message to you that he, Skye and I assume Sir David as well, but I can check in his room in a bit. Are all voting for the Plate, and Scrooge asked me to let you know and confirm that. That it's the way the vote is going and he hopes you are doing well, dear. If you have anything you wish to tell him or Skye, do let me know. As for giving your team immunity, I only have my vote at this point, I can throw it your way since I haven't put it in yet. But I did tell Team Harris I'd be willing to give them a shot at it, but knowing it will simply remove someone who is barely active, I'll see what I can do. On the flipside, my team is also active and full present. And I'm not very happy with the suggestions for the vote, but I'll do what I must I suppose. I'll be around off and on until the deadline, if either of you wish to pass messages to anyone, just ping me and I shall be of service!

I appreciate you coming here and clarifying things lady Diana. I was shocked to hear that you believed Team Harris is about to win immunity because I didn't hear such a thing, and that because Tootles and Richard haven't said a single word for over 20 hours in the room I share with them I'm pretty sure? So they're either very comfortable or they don't give a flying fuck for this game. You seem like a busy lady yourself, and you were able to come in here and also come to various rooms I share with you.
Thank you for the message I'm talking to Valerie Skye about it

I have read the discussion and appreciate your feedback, ladies. Unfortunately I am on a mobile device at work but I just wanted to say thank you to you both in case I lose access to this conversation before I am able to get back to a computer.

Trevor, just so you are aware and if you see this before the deadline or before my untimely death. It seems our vote has gone several different ways today, it began with Dennis Deer Head last night, and today when I woke it was a debate between him and Justice Shawcroft, and now it seems to be, myself, Margaret and the Croc voting the Judge, while he and the Trumpeter vote for me, so if I do perish here. I wish you the best of luck in the future, you too, Annie.
I offered my assistance to the Head Righter to fill this cast, so if I'm to die it's not that serious. I mean, I've done all I've could. But if I am out, you two be safe and Trevor, try your best to just let the past stay there, dear. I believe you can make this game work for you and the others on your team. I wish you both nothing but the best!
