Welcome to Epicquatch!

[Vivi]

Sd to leave EI again to go back ton maelstrom of game. Not as much fun as what EI is. But game is what game is - even if I dont get what is at EI. The chests are nothingness and put bigger target on me. IDK

Here hope game will continue to at a pace. Will see where tribe is now.

Need talk with Terra and Rikku. Want these as allies.

Squall is danger/ Seymour has influence to change vote save self and we lse powerful Zidane. Nor to be underestimated.

Tifa and Wakka really hope are my allies. I need help in game.

[Vivi]

So have mch to catch up on. Once again sorry for being horrible confessionalist thes game. Maybe because not taking it serious I just haven't been thinking overly much about strategy, but as the game progresses instincts are all there, even if often I am ignoring them in order to 'not play' game, lol.

Besides, thank you for casting Lightning

That said, I love the reshuffled tribe. NuGreen has so many possibilities and options. This I like. Have a natural alliance with orig Green and think this is best to preserve at this point. Not saying wil stick with, but will see. Same with connections with the orig pinkies now on green. Love Lightning, and is fun and talk and what not, but not as much of that same connect with Kefka and Cloud. I am trying but neither seems to be as chatty, or on same page as much. But biding time here and want to have options whichever way.

Also want to preserve Tifa, who seems determined to be in 3 with Wakka & I. Think maybe views us as shields? Wakka is dangerous player, just as same reason why Zidane was gone - sad about that. Wakka I do like, but he holds things back and although says wants to play game with me doesnt talk as much in our chatty threads as what I do, and he has as many fingers in as many pies as I do... just not the same pies. And the pies he has fingers in are not pies that particularly are close to Vivi.

Wanty to see what happen in lamb and mint sauce TC tonight, see if orig baa-baa's will stay strong or if Squall (being on EI) or Seymour go. Really hope not Terra. Hope Rikku at the very least can help persuade them not to clip Terra. That is, if the orig baa baa's stay together. If they don't and an orig baa baa leaves then it could influence what decide to do here on Gallbladder, in terms of protect Lightning/Kefka/Cloud.

Lightning has been amazing and I like quite a bit. And is fun. There are gaps in the game I see and if I was playing properly I'm probably not aligning up quite so clsely with at this point, but as I am in this mostly for fun, am OK with letting this happen. If I was more really more focused on this game I would be friendly cordial and not be looking tro invest so much into Lightning until the merge happens and go from there. But in this game, and Lightning being so much fun, and fun after all is why am in this game, is why I find myself wanting to have fun and play with Lightning. But as she is focusing more on actual game then I can't help but think that this is making me also be thinking of game more.

I am quite amazed how little PM'ing I've been doing/had to do in this game. I know even with all the trips to EI and all into account but it has been very very queit in comparison to other games have played.

I can see various paths to get to the merge - again, purely by instinct to have options avakilable, but by the very way the tribe has been set and although am not thinking that far ahead, there are unknowns on the other tribes, which does concern me. There are people on orig Green that have more ties to what is on in the other tribe than what I do, and this I don't like. Because both Lightning and Cloud (would still like more time to talk with him... and Kefka for thart matter... and Tifu even, lol) are on this same tribe as me, it means everyone I spent time wth while on EI is here. Whereas Wakka & Rikku both have tmes and possible connects over there. Which is why thinking of if better path is with Cloud/Kefka/Lightning, because these have a connect with the pinkies over there.

If I do that, would want Rikku to be on board. Because Rikku and Terra were on outs of Zidane vote, they may be uncertain. But if I can make Rikku feel certain will have her, and hopefully this works as added way of connect back up with Terra also at merge. So if orgig baa-baa's have more numbers than orig Gallbladder we do have enough of a mix and influence that can survive and blur as many tribeal lines - be it orig Green / nu Green / across tribes - so that there may be no simple and same rhyme or reason for why people are voting together.

Wakka is dangerous, but can't help but like.
Tifa is more dangerous than many people have given credit for.
Rikku is the key to getting Terra
Wil Terra survive to merge? Hope so!!!

If Terra goes tonight will be doing all I can to win every challenge from here til merge

Lightning, as mch as I do love, I think is slowly putting focus on us. Have tested waters and pretty certain that Tifa can influence and on surface Kefka is the likely first target is we do lose IC. So long as we can be sure of only losing 1 or 2 challenges at absolute most before merge this is OK. So is impreative we win challenges which keeps options open for me and lessens options on other tribe for other nuGreens, aside from those most closely potentially able to be aligned with myself/Lightning.

I knw this is probably not in my best iunterests if I was looking to play game, but Lightning is cool. I don't really go in as much for the sexy stuff that she is playing up or whatever. If that is what she thinks will work, so be it, but as I dont have body it makes no difference to me. What I do like about Lightning is the spirit of fun, and even with the flirty stuff I see as her having fun. And fun is good and what I like. Wakka seems to be having some fun with his schtick, but behind that schtick there is much being hidden and concealed, I feel. Whereas behind Lightning I feel is more a genuine, revealed person.

As always, beause I haven't updated there is so mch on my mind and havent written down. But is always upstairs. The more game progresses the more cogs start to spin. But jst because I not write them here doesnt mean not thinking.

And even though play for fun and not so mch game it doesn't stop but drawing in to eventually actually start playing the game. This I love about game.

So Squall went. No skin off mine. Of the 3 orig green on pinkie tri-lambda am at peace there is one less person who i strongly believe (and was told by others this also) did not have my back is out of the game. The awkward thing is, if Squall had made merge would have been in a position where may have to work with a group that contained Squall. So, as it worked out was fine.

How the fuck did Tifa lose the chess challenge? Made a couple of posts about her computer needing restarted before falling on her sword. There were also at least 3 occasions where she was within a few moves of checkmating Tidus but didn't. I strongly, strongly, strongly suspect that although not wanting to appear to have done so, Tifa threw that challenge.

The sucky thing is, there was no MoP in play, and she had kicked everyone ass in chess when play Cloud, Lightning and I. But just like Eddie Cicotte don't throw in 1st inning if you want to make it appear as if just a loss. Have the fabricated shit about reboot PC. And play well because people know you can, but none the less, Tifa threw that.

Now with tender juicy lambies still have MoP, even though the advantages have not been massive and an be overcome, it does gove lambstew a headstart or whatever at challenge. Which means we need to have people work hard to win challenge.

The obvious bot for this round is Kefka.

Is it the smart boot?

Could easily align with Greenies, and probably get Cloud/Lightning to do the same to take out Kefka. But if Kefka goes this round where does this leave Lightning & to a lesser extent, Cloud? I am suspect at challenges - work hard in the ones I be in, but not a gamer or anything. If my suspicion is correct Tifa threw challenge which makes suspect also. Wakka has been total non entity at challenges, but think he is hiding and biding his time. But also know he is shady and has probably at least something up sleeve.

Can I get Rikku on a vote for Wakka? Tking him out and Tifa has to turn to me?

Again have floated the bare idea here to Terra. But she think it make no sense other than to vote obvious Kefka. Will float it again... just to see if reaction, as I do think Terra is a key to game. Get feling the way that Lightning 'likes' just about everything I write in public. This is nice to know, but also is putting target on us if people notice this habit also, may think we are close. We may well be close, but don't want outsiders thinkingf that.

Serious, I wasn't even playing game and now find myself thinking game more and more. Uggh

So tonight vote could be easy and take Kefka out.

Or rally the orig pinkies and turn vote on Wakka? And if do it does risk Rikku and Tifa as well as Terra. Risk pissing off 3 people to save Kefka, who is not around much, msg even less and has no much allegiance to me... all to protect Lightning & Cloud shield?

If Kefka goes and we go back to TC before merge, I will risk rocks to protect Lighning/Cloud, because, hey... for fun, and figure I could coral a vote to flip and take out...


So much other thoughts happen. I want to relax on EI and not think game so much and have fun more.

Miss having fun with Lightning.

[Selphie]

Thanks you for the lovely update, Vivi

[Vivi]

Danger, danger, yes in danger.

So Rikku goes. That blows. Not best pleased, to say the least. Tifa and I then on the outs. Tifa wins immunity, Vivi on the ropes and fingernails once again.

But Vivi I hope can get out of this. Trusting Lightning not to vote me and with Tifa immune and therefore also even if it did get to rocks, would be immune anyhow, then the case is, who would risk rocks for Kefka? So getting Lightning on side, and hopefully Tifa to should be enough to make certain of getting Cloud and Wakka on board also.

Wakka has some explaining to do. I know he has seriously pissed off Tifa. He has also been the major player in al TCs to date without even showung up. He v Cecil Wakka owon. Wakka was very influential in making Zidane go. Now tonight his was 4th vote along with Kefka, Cloud and Lightning to vote out Rikku. Doesn't helpo we have not spoken since like Wed last week, through my trips to EI ans his weekend there. Lightning told me of the mini arsenal Wakka told her he has. He not say anything to me about any of this. He is serious threat and needs to be dealt with.

So need to keep Tifa not happy with Wkka but will put up with him until time comes to take him out and need Tifa as a vote for when time comes. Lightning is also aware of danger he is, so we will need to orchestrate but yes, his time will come. He has much explaining to do. But even if it is not to me, so long as Lightning hears, I will very likely hear of it also.

Uggh... 1000 thoughts running through head. Will get back to this at some point.

[Selphie]

Don't worry, especially if you're not feeling all that safe! I have all day!

[Vivi]

While not totally at ease think have managed to secure everyone... I hope... to not be the one to go. Guess not playing is goone and have had to play the last few rounds. I could just sit back and have been overplaying the scramble a little... but this is good. If scrambling to survive jst before the merge is not the worst spot to be in - if survive.

Lightning is a lock. Think Tifa also now will not be averse to vote with me as is immune, and there are bigger targets than Tifa at the merge. So is in no danger.

Cloud wanted to go for Wakka, and as much as would like to agree and have him gone sooner rather than later, Wakka played that immunity last round and if it has an expiry date (merge?), I reckon he much have something else that will be used before then as well. That said, he is also leaving big gaping holes in his dfence. What he told Tifa and what he told me is a massive inconsistency, and so will the vote for Rikku. So this will have Tifu not trustuing him. TBH, I don't think anyone trusts Wkka at this point. He has been big layer in each of the 3 TCs have been part of, with Cecil, Zidane & now Rikku.

But Cloud has said he is OK to give up Kefka in order to preserve me, and did say just bide time, we will go for Wakka in course.

Wakka has said as much about having some items, but still not revealed what he has. But Lightning say he told her he has HII. I trust Lightning word much times over that of Wakka.

I wonder if Wakka is in actual fact Waka? Just the symmetry of it. I was thinking that one day 2/3 and I know Wka likes toplay up a character, wonder if he is here? Might be a fit... idk Probably not. Probably just the name is total co-incidence.

How amazing is Lightning btw?

Question is, can Terra be brought back into the alignment after Rikku went... this is not good. I don't think people are thinking that much about this... They should.

[Vivi]

Further the other thing that tweaks with Wakka is how is rarely on at live events. Just now saying has placed prevote. So he could be Australian?

Am certainly not playing this game as if thinking it is him. But just co-incidences.

Wondering if itwould be worth splitting vote on Wakka & Kefka. I see the 2 of them on there for a while and all I got was very short msg from Wakka say is voting for Kefka. But why they on at same time, not talk to me and then vanish at near same time.

[Vivi]

Yay for merge! Wasn't expecting and for much of game to date, wasn't really playing with making merge in mind, judst to keep myself amused.

Now am wanting to play, not play to play hard or anything, but to play because people Vivi like and seem to like Vivi want Vivi to play. So although trying to not be overly playing am edginh up, playing still mostly social game and still flittering about with the strategical one. Lightning has good ideas and like what and how merge is shaping up.

If Lightining is playing me, am very impressed, but really in many ways, as much as I have jst been social in my nonsensical way, Lightning has made me want to care more about the game and be part of it, so can be part of journey with Lightning.

How the hell does Wakka get all these crates... 4 or 5 of them.

[Selphie]

Selphie wants to watch Vivi play!

I must admit, you have had very poor luck with dealing with the crates

Based on what you've have to go through this game, I would say that is a very accurate gif

[Vivi]

Have been having such fun making up tall tales and true of Vivi in previous adventures, incarnations and settings, often just as a tease, but some little into it, as my own personal running joke. Anyone familiar with Moustache from Irma la Douce might get what I'm on about here, as it's a bit of a nod to that runnung gag.

[Vivi]

So Wakka goes. He could have saved himself. He knew he had votes coming his way, since even this morning, even made a callout thrad as he knew votes were there. And he had an arsenal at his disposal, but only used his stripper. So he could have easily saved self. I did what I said was going to do as part of it.

Tifa will feel closer than ever to me. Good.
Lightning and Cloud I believe know where I stand. Good.
Proved what told Tidus was true. Good.

What is not good, is who vote Lightning and who vote Tidus? Will need to make very clear to each that the Coke vote was mine. Speaking of which, holy f*ck, how close did I come to missing out on the vote deadline. Was thinking had 15 minutes as we have all the rest of TCs in the game and here we are at the mnerge TC and 10 minutes. It takes Vivi time to do visual things as can't see and wanted to make nice vote for Vanille, just in case Wakka did play his THT arsenal. Well not that it is that nice, but vanilla coke is amazing!!!! Almost as good as thecoke that Judy Garland used to have...

but that is another story.... which has already been alluded to... and supppresed by order of the Supreme Court.

There were supposed to be 4 votes for Vanille... so who voted out of school?
There were supposed to be 6 votes for Cloud... so who voted out of school?

Lightning throw vote? Self vote? Swap vote with Tidus? Wakka throw vote?

Not going to dwell too much on this, but will talk with Lightning and go from there. But if it was a caluclated gamble between her and Tidus to theow stray votes at each other... very clever.

[Selphie]

decent thoughts, Vivi! So sorry the challenges aren't really.. stuff you can do, but we still love you!
