Round 17 - #MaggieMakesadealwithtwodevils
--
It baffles me that people would make their two lists different in the challenge. Maybe it was some pro strategy that I was not aware of. Well if so, it obviously wasn't a very good one. Because I WON!
Anyway, the most notable features of this round have been ridiculous quotes from Avocado, the return of the silly anti-returnee craze, and more ridiculous quotes from Avocado.
First, let's get to some good quotes from Avocado
i think the main perception behind that isnt really that you like [Dark Rey], it's that you and her are like. tied at the hip and would never entertain the idea of voting for each other cos shed follow you wherever. not that im entirely buying into that myself BUT it could be beneficial to cut off parts a that connection somewhere
[Snip]
Translation: "I am worried about your connection with Dark Rey and you should vote her out."
[snip]
i understand me in the finale with you is probably not part of the combination that would give you the greatest ever chance a winning
[snip]
Transla.. Actually I think this one is self-explanatory!

And yet, I have told Avocado that I will at the very least go with him to F6. I don't even know if I can do that! It feels irresponsible to make a promise that I may not even have intention of committing to. But Avo did also almost get me voted out and as much as I'm pretending not to care about that, I feel absolved of any moral responsibility to be loyal to him. Yes, I'm absolving myself.
As much as I talk a big talk there I would feel bad about it. Avocado is both enormously frustrating and endearing at the same time. It's unfortunately much easier to explain my frustrations than why he is endearing, but you have to trust me! He is.
Oh gosh I just envisioned a FTC with me and Avocado. Could you imagine?
A more unfortunate deal I have made is that I have told Grogu that I would like to go to the end of the game with him (in response to him saying that me at the end with him would be his ideal). I doubt that he meant it, and it probably would have been weird if I didn't say anything about it to him, but while I am unsure about whether I'll go to F6 with Avo, I think it is VERY unlikely that I end up at the FTC with Grogu.
The other complicated thing is that Avo is targeting "returnees" and Grogu is likely going to target Avo, so I am likely going to have to decide my loyalties this round.
Whilst Avo is fairly negative about Grogu, T&H is angling towards a Rey/Cleric vote I think and overall I anticipate that their target will be Rey, unless they get scared of a potential idol. Bees? would also quite happily vote Rey out imo. I think that at least Grogu and Rey would vote for not-Rey and maybe Cleric as well.
Assuming that things don't get too much more complicated than that, there is the potential for Bard and I to be in a influential position here. And despite the drama between Grogu and Avocado (and maybe because of the drama between Grogu and Avocado), I think that the best vote for me would be T&H.
I would have added Bees? to that because they still don't say much at all about what they're thinking to me but I can't tell whether that's severe distrust or not. I wouldn't cry about a Bees vote honestly.
I also wouldn't be sad about a Cleric vote but now feels like not quite the right time with well connected players like Bees and T&H still around? It's hard to say.
Also just by the way, I think there's a good chance that the idol piece I passed back to Rey means she has an idol, but she's saying she doesn't, which would be a shame if she did actually have it but fair enough.
