You are a Tier 5 Peculiar Animal, so cannot make a successful Attack. Your home Habitat is the Island Sands. You can visit all four Habitats, but must not spend consecutive Rounds outside your home Habitat. Your victory condition operates like a Patron Animal: you will choose an Animal to support. If your chosen Animal wins by meeting their personal victory conditions, whatever it may be, then you will be victorious even if you died along the way. If your chosen animal fails to meet their personal victory condition, you will also fail to achive yours, even if you remained alive. Your special ability is: you will Peek at two different players during the Planning Phase. To get started: 1. Read through the instructions in the Acting Workshops thread about Food Chain. 2. Read the Episode 6 Format thread in the Play of the Week board. 3. DO NOT PM ANYBODY until you have read and understood the rules in the Miniature Parchments thread under Casting Notices. 4. Decide which Animal to support! Then post it in your Decisions thread before the end of the Planning Phase.5. Post the first version of your Habitat selection in your Decisions thread, too. 6. Spend the next 12 hours familiarising yourself with the format, and the game. 7. At some point during this Planning Phase, we'll come back here and post the result of your two Peeks.

I see some changes since I last played a food chain game. Will need to study them to confirm the polar bear is still the best choice.

Hmm maybe the Orca or Eel may be better to support, given the Sea Lion basically now has too home habitats. I think that's actually the only apparent balance change. That feels like it puts huge pressure on the four prey, which are already dodgy as heck to play.

Guess I'd better go to bed early so I can react accordingly to information accordingly when it is received. I will also be adjusting my sleep schedule to be working nights tomorrow, but this should not effect my ability to lock on and take lack of action every 9 hours.

I also no longer trust your high recommendations.

I am stunned to see you alive, frankly, after the neglect that Cornley Crew has been putting you through ![:rolleyes](https://i.imgur.com/fJn0ul2.gif) up to and including those cruel Safety Chains! But the Blue Planet is here now to take over, so please lay back, relax, and then vent for us... ![:wineme](https://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/drink/t0325.gif) My first question is: How the #$@! are you finding this whole 'ORG' experience so far? Because we've seen the Production Logs, and we have concerns. But also great amusement. So how are you feeling about all of it so far? The BBC would like us to find out. For my next question: What was your role in those Safety Chains last Episode? Talk us through the decisions you needed to make. How did you decide to whom you would pass Safety? Did you expect to receive it from anyone in particular? For my third question: Were there any other decisions or passes which stood out to you as interesting or surprising? What else might you have learned from the process? And why you think Camille, Margaret and Skye were the victims left vulnerable at the end? And now, my last question: What is your strategy for the Food Chain game? How do you reckon your chances of meeting your win condition? Who are you hoping does not meet their win condition, and is left vulnerable at the end of the Episode? Finally, in return for (but in advance of) sharing your deepest secrets, I can at last confirm that your Peeking has shown that:

Neither of those peeks are helpful to me, dang.

I think Plate just basically revealed Croc to be the eel.

I know I probably should just go reveal myself, and then get eaten by the shark, but just going straight in with that feels bad when I don't know who is here.

Well I do know, but I don't know who. You know. Whether the shark or pilot fish are in the reef at the moment doesn't really matter, but I don't want to be eaten by anybody not a shark.

And then there's the matter of who is worth sending MPs to. Like it probably should happen but idk

I don't know why I want to continue guessing the format of the game, but I will assume we merge after this maybe. Two eliminees, one last understudy to come back. Then the birth of critics.

Well this is fun now.
I guess I'm going the whole week without actually sending any messages. Yet it is not going to directly impact me. Well assuming the shark (which I now assume to be Suchet) can win.
I was opening up my image editing programs to start writing out a MP to Scrooge though.

You can display your MPs here if you like, or ask me nicely to share them with the Audience ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif)

I probably won't get bored enough to draw the pufferplate. If I do it won't even be on the parchment.

Going to assume the next death happens while I'm trying to be Sleep then. I won't get any one on one time with them. Of course there may be two or more deaths to still come.

Sir David probably attracted Sir David to my death simply because he himself wanted to sleep.
As long as I can just continue living one round at a time, I'll be able to break into strategy at whatever later point I want. Maybe, it seems very restrictive on messaging this game, so who is to know. We've had like one whole round, which ended up getting cut short we were allowed to message freely amongst a team. Then half a round, and a quarter of a round.

I assume o an just getting bored right now because of these "survivor" formats. With everything public I can't do much, Wimblegate wasn't even online to talk with briefly. Just need to wait and see if Suchet is able to find his third meal, which I think will come down to whether the prey animals that remain are able to locate each other to be safe this round and/or next. I am still laughing about sea lions being prey animals btw. I think you'd have been better naming a Sea Crab or something... But then they probably wouldn't necessarily go to the open ocean.
