Is Avocado even a goat? He didn't play his idol for Maggie, but I don't think the jury should hold that against him too much since he didnt know for sure that the votes were on Maggie. They absolutely should though. They coordinated the idol so a returnee wouldn't have it, bees expressed concern that avocado would just use the idol on themself instead of playing it where votes would b. And then Avocado sniped the idol and played it on themself instead of where the votes would be, AND told grogu that's what they were doing. All the while T&H and Avocado were working to make Maggie the counterwagon. Avocado was the worst play for the idol, and this was pointed out to them ahead of time, and then they disregarded it. If you make a misplay, it can be forgiven, but if you are warned about the misplay, and then go out of your way to perform it, yeah, you get goat status.

Not to mention the very act of sniping the idol when what was needed was unity that round also completely ensured any plan conjured together would fail.

Last round: * Avocado selfishly played an idol for himself, which was the incorrect play, and his allies had asked him not to do it. * Rey successfully played an idol on an ally, changing the outcome and taking out a top FTC thread.
I know Rey is super quiet and seems less active lately but that's a way better trajectory than Avo's!

First player just now starting the challenge. This looks to me like it will not last that long. Not repeating a single word seems hard.

Oh I agree that Avocado's trajectory is worse than Rey's. Avocado played last round horribly, absolutely horribly. But Rey's game has been trending downward as well, just not as sharply and dramatically as Avocado's.

I actually don't think sniping was the worst thing in the world for Avocado, but he needed to tell everyone he was idoling himself and then not. He is right that the fact of him having the idol could well be why he was not targeted.

Brick admires ardently amiable apples.

Brick admires ardently amiable apples. did that always say that or did it used to say Grogu admires ardently amiable apples. Did you see this before? I can go check the edit history. He checked in with me a bit after it was posted saying he'd used Brick as a name and asking if that was okay.

He checked in with me a bit after it was posted saying he'd used Brick as a name and asking if that was okay. i thought i might have but i very well could have been misreading. afterall: it says grogu there in line 1 and i might have just mentally transposed it doing these alphabetical sentences is a very smart way to not repeat any words.

I realise I would need to re-enable the edited text feature (which we kinda hacked out) so I'll leave it until nobody's doing the challenge to make sure I don't break the forum while anyone is going. Won't take long to check once that's done though. Thanks for the spot on it either way

at this point i'm rooting for grogu. he's played a great game, plain and simple. TH would be fine too; I hope at least one of them makes it to the end.

Grogu would be a deserving winner for sure, but I'm not rooting for anything. I want people to make moves in their own best interest.
Maggie's post in Jury about last round is interesting and probably the most info we have gotten about it. She seems to think that Grogu coordinated Rey's idoling, which may well be the case. We actually don't know bc Rey doesn't talk to us.

We actually know Grogu didn't coordinate Rey's idoling, but only from Grogu, and not from Rey.
