I guess I will use this until we are thrown into yet another twist!

The Woman of Wonder suggested that we attempt to form an alliance together with Rorschach in order to keep him on our side. It was a smart idea, especially with this sudden hero merge, because Rorschach seems to make decisions based on very early impressions, and we would not want him to run off and make other allies that he likes more than us. Rorschach approached me with the idea of sticking together with the Woman of Wonder as a "core alliance" shortly after the hero merge. I am glad we have him under our control.

Now for more relevant information. The two Marvel heroes that stand out to me are Deadpool and the Rocket Raccoon. Before I even talked to Deadpool, I received at least two messages about how active and fun he is, one from the Woman of Wonder. He is doing a very good job of making people like him, and he probably was at the heart of any alliance that was made with the Marvel heroes. I definitely want to stay on Deadpool's good side in order to remain safe. I do not fear for my safety on this tribe anyway, with at least Rorschach and Robin being likely targets before me, but it would be nice to have Deadpool's favor so that I am not ostracized. He started our conversation rather elegantly:
Deadpool
 
Can I touch your boobs?

but I was surprised to find that after this message, he became quite serious. I think he is talking to people in the way that they talk to him. He is smart.

Meanwhile, the Rocket Raccoon has only sent a single message to me, but just from that message and his (her? its?) public appearance, he looks very cheerful and friendly. He drew a sketch of the two of us as best friends:

and since we had not talked very much, I believe he is probably doing similar things with everyone he meets. I do not see a scenario in which Deadpool and the Rocket Raccoon are not friends.

I have not talked all that much with Storm, but she has a good reputation from everyone she has talked to. If I had to guess, Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon, and Storm were the three most popular Marvel heroes. That leaves the Knight of the Moon, Wolverine, and Gambit. The Knight of the Moon reminds me of Robin. He is not much special, but I enjoy his short comments! He is also in a meeting, and may impress me more later on. Deadpool mentioned Wolverine as "shy" before I talked with him, but I do not think he is very shy at all! He does look like he is on the outside, but I can see that he is intelligent and is aware of Deadpool being the "head honcho" of the Marvel heroes. He thinks every other player is on-par with each other, though. I get the feeling that he does not have any allies right now, so he may be someone I would like to develop a friendship with. I have only had a single message from Gambit, but he is apparently decent with Zat.

In short, I am interested in befriending Wolverine and Deadpool the most, with the Knight of the Moon and the Rocket Raccoon being other options right now.

I have done a lot to attempt to befriend Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon. They are the two I think have the most influence on the rest of the Marvel heroes, so becoming their best friend will make me very safe. I have just offered to work with them to Deadpool, and I am hoping it is early enough that he is genuinely interested and not already engulfed in his own plans. I am planning to tell Zat and the Woman of Wonder that Deadpool initiated the talk, though.

DeathRocketFire is officially a "thing!"

I have made things with Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon official. This is a good idea for two reasons:

1. I can be safe next to the two most powerful players on our team, and even have a say in who they want to vote for. I have discovered that they are the two most carefree players I have ever seen, so they should be very easily influenced. Meanwhile, I do not look like the one controlling things; that blame most likely goes to Deadpool.

2. THIS IS JUST SUCH A FUN ALLIANCE OH MY ZAL IT IS SO ADORABLE

I am so sorry! School has started this week, and I have spent almost all of my extra time messaging people. I have a lot to say, but it will have to wait until this evening.

I am open to questions from the spectators! They may want to wait until after I have posted relevant events, though.

Two questions from the Directorate:
{01} Why do you call people things along the line of ___ of the ___ ?

{02} Follow up question: Why aren't you calling them Raccoon of Rockets and Pool of the Dead?

{01} I am using the first four steps of this guide to help me speak like myself, and that is specified in #4! It may not be completely accurate, but it gives me character.

{02}Deadpool is one word! I debated saying Raccoon of Rockets, but it does not feel as symbolic of Rocket Raccoon's character as the Woman of Wonder or the Knight of the Moon. I guess I feel like Rocket Raccoon's name would lose too much of its meaning if I rearranged it. Or something.

I am going to make a very lame post and make up for it with an incredible post sometime this weekend. I will have a lot of time this weekend.

New things that have happened: I have made an alliance with the Woman of Wonder and Zatanna together (this was already kind of a thing, but I made it official). Moon Knight also approached me with an alliance, and he seems to trust me. I like him a lot, so I shall do the same.

My last thoughts about the Corona tribe:

I am incredibly sad about the Rocket Raccoon's departure. I would probably call him the friendliest person on Corona. He was my best friend, personally. While we did not talk very much about the game itself, we had wonderful conversations about a wide variety of topics. I was even considering starting to play Homestuck just to have another thing to talk about with him. However, and I feel awful for saying it, but I think him leaving right now is a good thing for my game as a whole. Deadpool, the Rocket Raccoon, and myself had an alliance, but I always had an easier time talking about the game with Deadpool. Now that our threesome has been reduced to a pair, he will (hopefully?) feel closer to me than anyone else.

I was in a wonderful position on Corona, there is no doubt about that. There was a clear line between the active, stronger players and the inactive, weaker players. Deadpool, Zatanna, the Woman of Wonder, the Rocket Raccoon, the Knight of the Moon, and myself made up the former, and everyone else was the latter. I actually proposed making that group of six one large alliance to Deadpool, but he did not want to make a large group, and instead said that Robin, Rorschach, Wolverine, and Gambit would naturally be targets at our Tribal Councils... wait a second, there is someone missing from that list of names. Storm is apparently well-liked by many heroes, including Deadpool and Wonder Woman. If I were to take a guess, Deadpool made an alliance with Storm early on. She is someone that just will not talk to me, but apparently, no one else has a problem with her. It confuses me, and I will have to make sure she is eliminated at some point before she becomes a problem to me.

The person I felt closest to by the end of Corona was the Knight of the Moon, surprisingly. At first, we did not talk very much, but we slowly began to "click." We have similar views on many things that happen in the game, and we have a nice mixture of game talk and off-topic conversation, with messages that are just long enough to have content in them without being difficult to respond to. He is my perfect ally: not too strong and able to talk on my level. He initially went to me about his eleven-point penalty in Challenge o3 and asked for my wisdom. After showing his trust like that, he started using "the A word," and I was happy to accept an alliance with him. While I have not told him the extent of my friendship with everyone else, we both know who talks well and who does not. I see myself going very far into the game with the Knight of the Moon!

Another strange friend I have is Wolverine. Everyone I talk to states him as the hardest Marvel hero to converse with (except the Woman of Wonder, who cannot talk to Gambit at all), but I have been having a wonderful conversation with him! He can disappear at times, but everyone has busy days. I think we struck a common chord in our liking of anime, and that is what sparked our great discussion. He is delightful, and I feel like I am the only person who thinks so! I am definitely going to attempt to become his ally early on, while he is both untaken and still in the game.

Other than those two, Zatanna and the Woman of Wonder are still as good as ever. They each have their strong and weak points (Zat talks a lot but in very short spurts, and the Woman of Wonder has not been around much recently but is still as delightful as always), and they are just solid, strong allies overall. Deadpool is being his hyper self, and I think he and I have grown fond of each other. Now that the Rocket Raccoon is gone, we will be connected to each other more closely. I know Deadpool and the Knight of the Moon have a connection, but I do not know exactly how strong it is - they were both invited into an alliance with Gambit. Deadpool says he likes the Knight a lot, and I think he has the impression that he can control him. Good thing the Knight has already formed an alliance with me! :D

So overall, I felt great in Corona. Lets see how this new tribe treats me.
