Your task here is simple: use this thread to discuss the legal intricacies of the case, or the terrible weather we've been having, and then please get to business and cast a Vote against one of the other two players. (You do not actually need to discuss the weather, but the real Lawyers insist that you wait until everyone has posted their thoughts at least once before you cast any Votes - consider it a legally binding act of courtesy given that we are playing a non-live Game.) Your Vote must be cast in this thread, by posting: Except you'd obviously replace 'NAME' with the name of the player you wish to Vote against. Make sure you bold and resize the text, and then add the emote at the end by typing the shortcut ": bonk" just without the space between the colon and the word. If you do not format your Vote correctly, it will not count. If you're on mobile, you can copy and paste this code, again just changing the name. [b][font size="4"]I pronounce NAME Not Guilty Now, But Guilty later! [/font][img]https://i.imgur.com/0xYf5uE.gif[/img][/b] In the impossible improbable event of a tie, the tied party who performed worse in your last Challenge will be deemed to have been voted out. And remember: If you don't vote, you will receive a self-vote! Once Votes are cast they cannot be changed. And once all three of you have caste a Vote, a Crew member will drop by to inform you whether the player with the most Votes cast against them will in fact be proclaimed Guilty and therefore leave the Game, or whether they will remain Not Guilty and still in the Game for now, if this is a protected Voting Room. We highly recommend that you try receiving some votes... if you think you can still survive them ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) You must cast your Vote in this thread before 9:30pm AEDT Sunday night (which is 10:30am GMT and 5:30am EST) However, the sooner you all Vote the sooner you will find out if the player voted out is actually eliminated. And the longer your weekend break will be. And if all the Voting Rooms get their Votes in earlier (which I very much hope they will), we can move on to Episode 5 as early as Sunday morning. Leaving you all with more time to spare next week, which I know we all would need appreciate. Please don't feel pressured or rushed if you're not ready to cast your Vote... but also you all only have two options to choose between here so please don't drag it out unnecessarily. If you have any questions for the Crew, or would like us to give you a personalised question, please ask. Otherwise get to discussing, and to Voting.

Dear Lord, what an awful room makeup we've ended up in, gentleman. I'm quite horrified by this scenario. As well as seeing The Morgue is filled with Sir David, Skye and Queen Isobel. For what it's worth, I'm obviously saving their room. As I believe moving forward with all three of them in the future is not a bad idea for any of the three of us or the two of us who survive, so I'm glad I've got this choice to make regardless. Since they've all been great here and in the last format. ![](https://pa1.aminoapps.com/6216/674e4f6349028cdfb708f9d11b8daaf505c04e9c_hq.gif) I'm actually a bit envious of the other team, their rooms are far more manageable than ours, and then BOTH Joe and Robert ending up in the four person room, when I was sincerely hoping any two of us would end up with either of them since casting a vote for either wouldn't be as terrible, that may seem harsh, but it's just the truth. I'm unsure if you two would vote one another here, and I won't ask you to or cast my vote yet. But I can say, I had some great talks with you, Richard. Even if it was a bit late, and Trevor, you know I adore you and support your journey. If either of you think it's in your best interest to keep me and my connections with others in this bloody game, I'd appreciate the consideration. However, if you are locked into what you know and such, and are just going to kill this old cunt mercilessly, please just do it swiftly. I shall return later to see if anything transpires here that could provide me hope. If not, it's been a pleasure, gentleman.

Well.. this room is certainly an awful turn of luck… isn’t it. I like the word you used Diana as it is certainly apt in the case.. horrified. It is most unfortunate the way both our room and the Morgue worked out.. and it is most kind of you to save those in the Morgue.. as both Trevor and I would agree that it is not a most ideal room either. If only you could save your own room.. that would have been spectacular! In fact.. I believe as Prince of England and future heir to the throne I should have a say in saving our entire room!
It certainly is frustrating that the other team’s rooms are more manageable, and annoying that both Joe and Robert ended up in the 4 person room together. I am very hopeful our team will be saved in the rankings.. as I believe we are all well liked.. and when looking at some of the other rooms..it would be a surprise not to be saved over them.. as harsh as it may sound.
This is obviously terrible because I would have loved to work with both of you in the future, and I imagine you both would have liked to work with each other and myself as well. At this stage, I have to be honest and say it’s hard for me to imagine voting Trevor out after our time in Team Harris together… as we have worked really well together thus far and have similar views of the game. However Diana, we certainly have had excellent talks thus far which exemplify quality over quantity to the highest extent. It is clear you have many connections in this game.. so if you feel you have a case to make for yourself.. please give yourself that chance for me and Trevor to consider individually!

Good afternoon, my Prince. I've only checked in here a few times since early this morning when I set an alarm to be here for results. Which I sort of regret, only because I needed the extra sleep and I'm on my lunch hour at the moment, or nearly done with it at least. And I'm already quite tired.
That being said, I appreciate you offering me the chance to make a case for myself with both yourself and Trevor, I do not wish to vote for either of you honestly either, I know that's a bit weird to say in my situation. But this is literally the worst case scenario of all the rooms I personally could have ended up in, and I know you two have been close and friendly throughout this production. I believe all I can offer you, Richard is that I do think my standing overall with others is a just bit better than Trevor's. I think if you saved me here (And know that's asking a lot.) I think it would give the game a different perspective on your own status as sort of a "Pair" with Trevor, it could come to a point where people decide to oust either of you to break something like that up in the next format if you two should land together or not. Where as I'm not connected to anyone in that way, and it would be gesture of moving forward like that. I HATE even saying this, but also Trevor being a little absent right now and I think others mentioned he hasn't been around as much, is also something to consider.
I won't even ask Trevor to vote for you, as I do not see him doing that. I understand he's in more need a allies upon his return. And I don't even want to say anything bad to incriminate others here outside this room. I do think the reception of keeping me would also be a big shock to the game, and who doesn't love a surprise?!
Also, I could offer undying loyalty, as you know my schedule with work and such is a bit daunting for playing this game, I think your timezone and otherwise is similar to mine Richard? I know it's hard to cast a vote for someone either of you wish to work with in me, even despite your bond from Team Harris. But I think it could be beneficial moving forward to change the equation and such. Honestly, I meant what I said in my last missive about how I would have sent Trumpeter out if I landed with you, I think that says a lot. Also, for what it's worth I think the rest of my staring team won't last very long either. I can't say that for sure, as I know Max as the Crocodile is quite active, but I could see lots of scenarios where they perish, perhaps even in this round. And I'd be deathly loyal and again, as I said I do have connections with the Suchets, Isobel and Camille as it were, and it would be quite the shock if I stayed in this room makeup.
I do feel though the winner on the other team is probably saving one of their own rooms. And I don't know how we'd fair in the rankings. But hoping for the best. And please do not take any of what I'm saying with malicious intent or offensive, I do not wish to do that, boys. You know I'm basically pleading for my life on a bed of death perhaps, so if I've given a chance to survive, I would do everything in my power to make sure the risk was worth it in kind.

Hello. Apologies for my absence but real life has had to take presence. I echo both of your thoughts on regard to not wanting to vote either of you out. Diana, you were very encouraging of me in our room and I have followed your advice and was hoping to connect with you before now. Richard, I share your confidence that our room should fare better than the room containing Joe and Robert.
I agree with Diana's sentiments that she is possibly more highly regarded than I am to this point. I do not know where Richard stands but I will say it would be remiss of anyone to be treating us as a 'pair'. I think Richard would make a good ally when he leaves this room but I would also say that I would as well. I am not here to be a number but I also recognise that while only one person will win this game, you need to help people further their own games to further your own as well.
I have not had an opportunity to check my missives yet but wanted to pop in to say hello and acknowledge your respective thoughts. I hope we all survive this round and am quietly confident that we will.

You have both raised some excellent points and I hope I have as well… I am relieved this has been a civil conversation and not one that has caused any animosity..
Diana… you raise some excellent points about how you would be an asset to either of our games based off our possible perception as a pair of sorts. It’s also nice to know you have been sincere to me in your messages thus far… as I have been sincere to you as well.. which I felt was relatively obvious as we clicked very quickly. I also appreciate your offer of undying loyalty as well… which is incredibly hard to come by in this game… especially since it does seem we are in a very similar timezone as well! I suppose if you don’t mind me asking.. would there be anybody on Team Suchet that you feel strongly about either absolutely needing to vote out or absolutely needing to work with.. should there be no swap moving forward, in the context of whether these groups will remain after the tiny voting rooms finish?
I suppose I should also provide some points of my own.. but I also don’t necessarily see Trevor and myself as a pair… as he is certainly his own player as I am mine. The other players would be mistaken to assume us as a pair.. as Trevor has just said. I think I don’t really need to touch too much on where my strongest relationships are as I believe it is quite obvious.. but I see a strong relationship being formed with the both of you moving forward… which again is why this room is nightmarish for the 3 of us. I also believe I have made some good inroads with members of Team Suchet such as David and Scrooge (During the room phase).. which would make me an asset should we remain in these groups after these tiny voting rooms conclude.

My timing is quite good, I just checked in again randomly and thought this would still be silent. But I have a moment on a computer to reply. First of all, like I said, Trevor. Do not take anything I said personally please. I didn't mean any offense as I said, though I know you've been civil and making your case too, just want to make it clear I do respect you and find this incredibly sad to even have to do. But I'm repeating myself now.
As for seeing you two as a pair, I'll admit the reason I brought that up, was because of a missive that Trumpeter sent me last night. Going over particular rooms he would not feel safe in, and he mentioned that being with you two would end him. (Not that I would have minded.) and I do know Trevor spoke up about being closest to you in The Lodge rooms, so it's probably a bit of public perception. It's not guaranteed it'll come up, but it's not out of the question. While people know how Trevor feels for you, Richard. And I hope that perception isn't game wide, but you never know in these things. Perhaps my wording should have been a bit different too. Maybe more along team lines, where it would show that you are willing to keep/work with someone outside your original team to keep me around and work with for the long haul, which I can tell you I am a very pragmatic and sensible player. And loyal as the day is long to those who show me the same trust and respect. I honestly find it hard to vote out true allies who have done me no wrong, even to my own detriment. As likewise sitting in the end with an ally just for the journey, winning comes with no cash prize, so my loyalties run deep and my gratitude for a chance to survive would extend to you greatly in that regard.
As for your question, if we were to stay here on the Defence Team and moving forward. I must admit, I have had little conversations with Joe Jon, so he'd be someone I'd be fine to see out. Now, when it comes to the others, I too had a wonderful time "working" with both Scrooge and Sir David in the last round. Skye is quite nice, but if I might say she's rather short and although she can be charming, I wouldn't call us super close. The reason I actually wanted to save The Morgue was more for Isobel, so that Skye/Sir David don't kill her most of all, she's whom I value aside from you two from Team Harris, so that's why I made that call basically.
That's also why I think keeping me, Richard could be more beneficial, since we seem to have similar tastes in allies among the others and trust with them. I think it will be obvious we've bonded here if we should both return to the game. And have many options to peruse with allies moving forward, on this team and after it as well.
Like I said about my own team, I adore the Croc but I don't know how long people will. Dennis is very hit or miss. And although I do NOT truly have animosity for the Trumpeter, my relationship with him still gives me pause because him being so close to the Judge and not saying a word about it was jarring, I must say. What other secrets might he have? I don't know. And Margaret is lovely, but she's sort of like Skye, funny how both the ladies playing my niece's roles are charming, but not as verbose. I tend to gravitate towards the socialites. Which is why your messages were so becoming to me, Richard. Had I truly not needed a mental break after that rooms round, I would have shared a lot more with you the last day or so obviously. Also for what it's worth, I did set an alarm to wake for result and ONLY responded to you, even though I had owed everyone else. Because I wanted you to know where I stood and that even despite us not talking more, I already had what the younglings say "good vibes" from your missives, and your the type of player I simply adoring playing with. I wish I did get to you sooner, since we never got to touch on the others on the Defence Team, but I can not change that now. But I also don't regret the sleep and decompression from the game after that round with the rooms, that became very intense for me.
That said, I must take leave now, but I'll return in a bit once I get another moment. Either on a compute or phone.

I appreciate your subtle sales pitch, Diana ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Seriously though, if Richard or I were to leave this round, I see a group of Diana, David, Skye and Isobel forming. Richard may be brought into that group as well but I would also like to think that I would make a good ally to that group too. Either way, it is becoming apparent that Isobel is quite popular and I see both Richard and myself as the fifth people in either group, competing with Robert and Joe. Were Diana to leave this round, I think both Richard and I have a better position in a group with David, Skye and Isobel. Richard, I believe Joe and Robert would understand their positions and be open to working with the both of us as well, creating options we likely will not have otherwise. Personally, I would like to consider option number three. Diana, you have mentioned wanting to work with Richard and I. The feeling is mutual. Isobel certainly wants to work with you as well. My proposition would be to form a group between Team Harris and Team Rigg. If what you say is true about Skye, there is an opportunity to include David in that group as well. I would like to think six of us make it to final merge so that group provides all three of us in here an opportunity to act on our words.

Good morning, good evening or good whatevering time it might be at whichever timezone you're in gentleman. I don't know if I have it in me to speak about hypotheticals anymore in here today. But I wanted to say of course we have options of aligning with some of Team Rigg as well, I'm not shutting the door on any opportunities like that, Trevor, because numbers are important in a game such as this. Also, do not be mistaken about what I said about Skye, I don't know what "If it's true what you said about Skye" means, I just said her style of communication is just more succinct, but she's charming and active, so I don't know. I also do not believe we're staying on this team. I think we'll probably get back another understudy, since the castoffs were competing in the challenge. And I do think the vote here means something too, since the rules imply you WANT to get votes in the event your room is safe, which may be some perk or something. Like perhaps a team leader or I don't know honestly.
I also don't know if I feel as confident as Trevor that we'd be surviving automatically here, I saved The Mourge, the other winner could save one of their three person rooms. In that case, we are going to have to compete the most with the four person room and one of the other teams three person rooms and remember only ONE of those will be safe through the rankings, and it's not about total ranking points combined, it's the average in the room. Which could be weighed down by people having been tanked in the rankings. Also, the fact that it is averaged makes it fair and the four person room is not necessarily automatically vulnerable at all, despite who is in it. I didn't put Joe or Trumpeter high, but I have no idea how anyone else ranked.
Anyways, I'll be back later to check in. I think we're the room holding up results. I don't think I have anything left to say, I made my case. So I'll see what happens later. I have to be going for quite a while now, and can't ditch work today like I did yesterday, but I'll try to peak in here at lunchtime.

Good morning/evening to both of you,
After completing some my royal duties.. which took me 10 hours (Joking I was asleep), I am here in the now with you both!
I’ve listened to what you both have said.. and I hope you have both listened to what I have said. I do agree with Diana… that we must be the team everyone is waiting on… which speaks to how strong our deliberations are!
I do really like your proposition Trevor… however I agree I’m just not 100% sure our room will be saved… since I don’t see our specific combination of 3 being all ranked high by the other team mates.. I think a spread across 1-7 is more likely for our trio… which is why it’s difficult to feel confident our room in particular will be saved. However in saying this… I think the idea of working alongside Team Rigg is mutually beneficial for both sides.. as Team Suchet seem to be the strongest overall thus far…
As for the vote… I do have slightly different perspectives of the group dynamics then you did Trevor… potentially because I became closer to some people I have not expected to… such as Diana herself. To be perfectly honest.. I am also not expecting the teams to stay as they are either.. and this is a suspicion I’ve heard from multiple people… that these current teams are only valid for the current round. And so I’m not sure the group dynamics of the defence team are going to be particularly relevant anyways. Diana… I think your point about similar taste of allies is an incredibly valid and strong one… and one that speaks to me.. and it is most spectacular to hear you wanted to save the Morgue for Isobel (As well as David and Valerie as well I’m sure). Another thing I am also factoring into this decision is that given the format of the tiny voting rooms, there is no guarantee of the the team will look like afterwards, which mean as if the teams do stay as they are.. I want to reduce the most amount of risk possible of being in a minority.. which is a train of though I am sure you are both employing!

You are correct, Richard. I do factor in what this decision means for the future, even just getting out of this team and into the next round. Of course that's what's been on my mind. And pushing forward with the discussions we've had here about others, and the ones I had with Isobel before our rooms were announced. I did tell her I'd also stick with you in any situation, since she did make it crystal clear how she felt about Richard, even in the rooms when explaining Team Harris' first vote and such. She's also been understanding to Trevor, and I did my best to mediate that and tried to make sure your team didn't have that strain, since you know how easily others pounce on things like that, and that's why I felt it was imperative to advise you in the direction of a truce and letting bygones be bygones when it came to Isobel and Camille (And that awkward series of exchanges you two had in Annie as Wilblegate's room.) I truly hate doing this, and like I said, there is no guarantee we are safe, I do not feel the same confidence as you do. But I'm going to do what I think is right for me personally at this juncture, and my own game moving forward. Not that you wouldn't be a trusted ally and friend moving forward (And have been essentially since we bonded in your room.) but I feel like this is the vote I feel most comfortable making for the aftermath purposes that Richard brought up. And I do this with a heavy heart as well, this is NOT easy, or I would have done it earlier. But I am going to be detained, and I'll just put this out there so I won't be delaying us any further. I pronounce TREVOR Not Guilty Now, But Guilty later! ![](https://i.imgur.com/0xYf5uE.gif) As I said, this is not personal, vindictive, malicious or in any way meant to be. I can't state enough about how dreadful it is we all ended up together. But this is what I feel makes the most sense, and I mean no offense to you at all. Richard, my prince, I would love if you voted with me. But if you don't, I understand and will still be rooting for you both after I'm dead and gone. Whatever choice either of you make, I will respect the decision. And thank you again for hearing me out and giving me a chance here.

Correct. However I am reading into both of your responses a hesitation to align yourselves with me and a confidence in one another. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Richard, I have certainly shown you loyalty and Diana, I have certainly trusted your guidance.
My perspective above stands. I think both Richard and myself are at the bottom of whatever group forms if the other goes. Richard, you have said you do not necessarily agree with my thoughts on the dynamics. Would you care to elaborate? Diana, perhaps you would like to share your thoughts here as well.

It's not about hesitance with aligning with you, Trevor. NOT at all. If we do happen to end up in a miracle situation where this room is safe, then I fully intend to work with you and support and protect you, dear. That will not change, and if Richard does pull the trigger as well (Which I am not entirely sure yet what he's doing obviously.) I don't doubt for a second he too would be with you, and we could advance together and with others. Like I did think our talks with Annie were superb as well. I am not counting you out, at all.
However, I do not see Richard on the "bottom" as you say, I think because of that first vote at Team Harris, maybe it feels that way to you? But no one mentioned him in a bad light (Nor you either.) Though from everything I heard he did self-vote by mistake. But everyone spoke quite highly of him from Team Harris in The Lodge regardless of his issue with the deadline that round. (Which is totally understandable, I keep screwing them up a bit myself, and I put in all my actions early so I won't fuck something up.) but a lot of people had great impressions of Richard. I think he's in a position to thrive, sure we ALL still need to meet some of the others from the first teams a little more intimately. But I can tell you that everyone on this team spoke well of him as well, and said they were impressed. (Not that anyone spoke ill of you, I don't mean that at all.) And like I said yesterday, I did write him above anyone else I owed to confirm I'd stick with him vs. Trumpeter if anything happened, since his messages were charming and candid. And so have yours, but a decision had to be made, dear. And I also value Isobel's opinions, and told her I would look after him in a room as well. So I am also keeping my word there. I know some of this sounds shitty to hear, and again it's not personal and NO ONE told me to eliminate you or anything, Isobel said you two talked things out.
I just feel it's better for me to vote with Richard here, if he'll return the favor. It's not against you, even though I know it feels like it. And I feel like proper shite even having to make this decision. But I told you, it's not personal. I just feel like right now he and I do have similar relationships with some of the others established and this makes the most sense for me going into whatever comes next.

I will be honest Trevor and say I currently recognise many of the merits that Diana would have as an ally. There is no doubt you have been loyal to me thus far, but I have concerns about incompatibilities from an ally perspective in the future, due partially to that first vote that I worry will have lingering effects, and that we simply seem to have bonded with different people. I suppose this leads into your question about my thoughts on the dynamics… and without giving obvious answers as to my inner thinking, I do believe I have bonded with some members of Team Suchet, as has Isobel.. to a degree that we would not be a clear case to be on the bottom.
I also recognise that this is an incredible cast full of very strong players from all corners, which means that I don’t necessarily believe in a group with such social prowess, there will ever be an ‘obvious’ bottom of an alliance, per se. I think the relationship dynamics are far more complex, and they will continue to be as we continuously get shuffled around until the merge hits.

This is why I ask you both about the dynamics. Isobel was VERY clear about wanting to wait for you before deciding where to go with Richard and I. On one hand, I understand. You want to have all of your information in place before you make your decision. On the other hand, when you hand two votes in your corner, why do you need to wait for the last person to arrive?
It was also put to me that you (Diana) were close to to David and David was close to Skye. That puts David at the centre of any group that forms. That is why I have concern for Richard and myself.
Richard is fantastic and I hope he goes far in this game. But if David and you are in the middle of the group, he is potentially two degrees of separation from the middle of that group.
Again, I do hope we all make it through as I see a solid five between Team Harris and Team Rigg.

I will be gone for the next hour just so you both know.. but you raise a good point about David.. Trevor
I suppose if you don’t mind me asking, do you feel as though David is in the middle of everything… Diana? I must say.. my impression of him currently is that a lot of relationships and connections sort of lead back toward him, in the way that Trevor described it. Is David someone you must move forward with as the game progresses? I ask because I feel I have hit it off better with Joe, but I remember you mentioning he is someone you haven’t connected as well with.
I will be back soon!

I too am now on the road just stopped off to check in. I’ll be around in a hour or maybe more, doing some work and en route to a project, once I am back at my desk and a computer proper I’ll be able to give my comments. But quickly too, I’m not at all opposed to working with Joe we just hadn’t spoke much, his opening missive was offering me pie. I wrote him a bit of my team rigg war story but when he responded I was asleep, and only got to you before missives were off limits, my prince. Like I said I have more to say te: sir David as well but I need to focus on driving and then finishing this job.

I will be gone for the next hour just so you both know.. but you raise a good point about David.. Trevor I suppose if you don’t mind me asking, do you feel as though David is in the middle of everything… Diana? I must say.. my impression of him currently is that a lot of relationships and connections sort of lead back toward him, in the way that Trevor described it. Is David someone you must move forward with as the game progresses? I ask because I feel I have hit it off better with Joe, but I remember you mentioning he is someone you haven’t connected as well with. I will be back soon! I guess we both lied, your highness. As it has been far longer than an hour. But I'm sure you're day has been busy too. I really was in dire need of focusing on a project and figured I would finish it through. I still have to start getting some supper together now, and deal with a few other things tonight, but I can pop on and offline with a bit more focus at least. That being said, I do not mind you asking me this, and I agree Trevor bringing up David's position is a fair point indeed. I will say I do believe he's probably very well situated within the Team Suchet dynamic the most? he's very charming and seems quite a decent social player and I think he's liked by his original team, well besides Plate who we saw has major issues with him in public. Their exchange was amusing, since the Plate knew he was their vote had they been vulnerable, and the others were very frank about voting him, perhaps Sir David wasn't? But I read their exchange on my phone the other day in Trevor's thread, I should go re-read it. But as for game wide, I'm not sure? Simply because he and I both missed that first login period the rest of you had, and I have no idea what that was or what happened with it. (Meaning he was on the same level as me, he'd gotten login info a day after the game started. He asked me about that in his room last round, and we just had a brief exchange regarding it, and both said we got logins the day after the cast was here. ) I was worried about that before hand, since I was simply told I'd get my login a day after the initial cast and not to worry as it wasn't going to affect my position or be something that would put me at a disadvantage, which was relieving to hear from our Host. I actually never even asked my team about it, since I was so focused on the bloody challenge and didn't bring it up. Do you mind letting me know what actually happened during that? Was it a free for all with missives? I never broached it at Team Rigg, cos as I said I'd spent the majority of my time doing those tasks and then just trying to stay social with everyone besides Justice Shawcroft who as I've mentioned, never replied to my missive until mid TC and I sent him something the first night I arrived. Also, I'm not married to the idea of moving forward with David, I mean if we land with him again and need to work with him in whatever capacity, I think it's doable hopefully, but I am also not against taking a shot at him if necessary and it's a viable option. As for being with someone like him for the long haul? I'm not entirely sure about that, at this point a reason to do so would simply be because it's convenient for us, and we have a bit of history with him from this team, you know? (Also, I was in his room during the Lodge format with Skye, Margaret, Camille and Isobel, though Skye got removed when the team element from room invites got nixed.) I am unsure of what other rooms he was in were though, I honestly do not have a clue who else he's connected to besides those in his room and Team Suchet itself sans for Max the Plate And then those of us here. His reach couldn't be that far as of yet, as the communication has been limited for all of us quite frankly. But I do know he's probably going to be a big player, will he have room for us in his game? I'm not sure. I only said he's someone to move forward with or am open to the option of working with is because well, we've had contact with him like I said.. Also, between you two and I, we don't have to say I saved that team to keep Isobel safe, which WAS my reasoning 100%, it wasn't even a question for me, once I saw that makeup I feared for her, for all we know they could have won the ranking, but I wasn't taking my chances there, as she's someone I know we can trust. And also, I believe we can use that save to OUR advantage, Richard. We could say we discussed it and wished to see all of them safe and made it a decision together in here, that should butter up both Skye and David, I'm sure they'll be thankful. Since I very well could have saved the team with Mac the Crocodile instead, however, I must reiterate when Isobel told me what you meant to her, and I was locked in to making sure she was safe, and if you ended up in a room with Skye and David, or something as equally terrifying, I would have saved you. But yeah, point is if we frame it like we truly did care that all of them would survive...That could get us some points if we should land with them again for sure. Or if you do decide to kill me here (But please don't, Richard.) you can say that was something WE decided, I think it'll make them feel special like we were protecting them all, and not just the Queen. I still believe we have lots of game to play and plenty of options though, truly. If we do stay on this team (Or whatever comes next) I will get back to Joe and build more of a relationship with him myself, because his missive after the initial pie thing and my more game based message was quite good in response to my own, I'd have only voted him out just for the lack of connection between us at this juncture, and depending on the room makeup. If it was you, Joe and I, I was voting him, Trevor him and I, I'd vote Joe. If it was Isobel him and I, I'd vote Joe. and in a combination with some of the others, but that wasn't not for unwillingness to work together, it was simply lack of format discussions or more than just a chat that we had. (Which is MY fault, I truly was exhausted from the last minute scramble with those votes, playing my item and our Tribal was 6-7 pages long that day, and I was posting in rooms, it was quite a lot.) Point is, Joe and hadn't broken the 4th wall on this team until I started sending out my missives, and then never got a chance to respond to his last one (which was far better than just asking me if I wanted blueberry pie) I could see myself working with him, because he was quite frank and open to what happened on his team. Anyways, just wanted to also say I hardly think we're at the bottom of the game et all though, it's too early for that. I mean the way the formats have worked, I don't think a big faction or alliances are out there? maybe I'm naive and foolish, but the opportunity to convey such a thing hasn't come up yet with the way communications have been set up. It's almost like we're going to be bouncing around a lot, and we'll need to adapt and work with any of the other actors to various degrees. These formats are going to be very brutal and crucial to keep in good graces with everyone, since I see us swapping again for whatever comes next, and understudies returning could shape things too. (By the way, we're at final 16, and for all we know this double could bring us back to 15 with returnee and maybe groups of 5? Or we could do all 15 in some capacity. It's probably foolish to speculate this though.) The Goes Wrong ORG has already been quite intricate on how it's designed, so I think everyone is on even playing fields right now. Sure maybe Sir David has more going for him and doesn't need us, but if we continue to be on teams and such, we could either work with him or against him to better ourselves, I think we're capable of being in the social graces with lots of people still. Since we haven't really been with anyone longer than our own teams and there is still time to build more bonds and work with others, I am not opposed to such things at all. And again, who knows what's to come this next round. I haven't watched this series in it's entirety. I watched the first three episodes and the Christmas special my niece drug me into! Which is one of the reasons I brought Scrooge to my room, since he was in my episode, also he was lovely with helping me with that vote. So I just looked this up, maybe we can glean some assumptions here, which is foolish but worth thinking about at least. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goes_Wrong_Show#Series_1_(2019%E2%80%932020)The next two episodes, if Headrighter is doing these in order are Romance drama and a deep south Drama. "Harper's Locket" The drama society stage a period romance drama, in Sandra takes the lead role of a young woman who wishes to marry a stable-hand rather than to a cruel aristocrat. But problems arise, as the set causes problems for Jonathon, Trevor knocks himself out fixing a leaky roof above the cast, Chris has some problematic gun-shot effects, and there's an accident with a cat and a piano. "90 Degrees" The Cornley actors perform a Deep South drama, with the plot focusing on the daughter of an iced tea mogul, who seeks to swindle her brothers out of their inheritance as their father is dying. But the cast is not comfortable with the knowledge that the set builders misunderstood the play's title, meaning that they have to cope with performing their scenes on one set that's 90 degree angle on its side, and another that's upside down. We might skip through the locket thing, and maybe have to do an auction for iced tea or something, since the challenge was money counting, and that may line up with that? But who the bloody hell knows. I just hope I'm here for it. My apologies for this being so long, but I do love that we're having this conversation, truly. Because it's important. I can promise you, I'm with you and not closing the door on anyone or hopping into bed with someone who could be dangerous as a player. I give you my word here, at this point my ultimate priorities are going to be making sure you and I are in a good position and keep our options open, that's of course should I survive here. I am sorry I keep speaking about plans, as if I am safe, Richard. But especially I know you haven't made up your mind yet. But I've cast my vote, and again not on a personal level for Trevor. I hate this bloody format and the twist, have I mentioned that?! But I can't drone on about it, as the game is creative and matches the source, and I'm quite fond of affairs like this, where it's immersive at this level, it makes an actor's work far more exciting and passionate driven, the attention to detail even on this board set up is so impressive. With that, I'm going to throw together a meal for myself, I'll be around off and on before bed.
