I am satisfied with my masterpiece of a tribe! I did not receive Ultron as I expected to, but the Doctor of Doom appears to be an even better choice. Mysterio immediately told me many things about the villains, and I truly believe he is just interested in finding more strong allies. If I am correct, his current favorites are Riddler and Zod. He has given me a good idea of how active the villains really are by saying the Knight of the Moon is more impressive than most of the villains, though the Knight did tell me he is having to use "walls" with him. Most importantly, Mysterio has taken a great liking to me. I recognized that we would be allies sooner or later, so I chose sooner and offered him an alliance very quickly after the tribes were revealed. He enthusiastically agreed, and he even suggested we go ahead and make a majority team with the Knight and the Doctor of Doom. I considered this, but I want Mysterio and I to have an individual alliance without any others for a little while to build trust, so I told him I would like to get to know the Doctor more before making an alliance with him. He was fine with this and said there is no rush. The point of this is to get Mysterio to be closest to me on this tribe so I have him as a close ally during the Merge. He seems aggressive like Zatanna, so having him as a close ally will give me another person to hide behind. This Doctor of Doom is not as bad as his name implies, or as Mysterio made him out to be! He is much better than "borderline" between decent and inactive. We are sending large messages back and forth and having no problems. If he is not very popular among the villains, maybe I should take this opportunity to make him my own close ally. It will be hard to get close to him with Mysterio holding his hand every step of the way through this tribe, so I will need to form my own friendship with him. The Knight of the Moon is still my #1. I have told him about my alliance with Mysterio (though I said he initiated the conversation), and we have discussed our desire to keep Wolverine around if we can. We both like Wolverine as a weaker friend that feels close to us. He has not received an "official" alliance offer from Mysterio yet, so I am succeeding more in impressing him. We are going to be "buddies" for a long time, especially since we are both safe on this tribe. Storm has not sent me a message in six days. Storm will hopefully be eliminated within six more days. As a whole, I have built myself a safe team that should be able to hold its own in challenges. Even if we fail to win immunity, I am still safe no matter what happens due to my great relationships with the Knight of the Moon and Mysterio so far. I really need to stop being at the top of tribes, though this time it could not be helped. |

Of course, not all plans go as expected. Otherwise, I would be Derrick, and everyone knows how fun that is. I am not sure who started the talk, but the Doctor of Doom and Storm have begun to suspect that they were set up by me to be on the bottom of this tribe. I mean, it is true of Storm, but not of the Doctor. He is just paranoid. Anyway, those two are becoming obviously close. The Knight of the Moon made this apparent to me by giving me some messages Storm sent to him:
It appears Mysterio has also told the Doctor some about the alliance we started making. I am starting to recognize that Mysterio and I are both playing very similar smart games. We have discussed this, and I have decided to pursue a close relationship with him in this game. We have agreed to be honest about EVERYTHING. For now, I am genuinely interested in upholding this agreement. Together, Mysterio and I can make a fantastic team. However, Mysterio is going to have to be eliminated at some point for me to stand a chance at winning. I must keep this in the back of my head. My plan at the moment is to loyally stay by his side and make him be in too good of a spot, and when the time is right, I will spread the idea that he is too strong to keep around. When the time comes to vote for him, I will still be acting like his friend, so he will not spill any secrets I end up telling him as a result of our alliance. I have had discussions with both Mysterio and the Knight of the Moon about what we should do come our first Tribal Council. The Doctor of Doom and Storm both do not seem like good allies to me right now, and Wolverine has always been delightful. I am spreading doubt about the Doctor and Storm, and I am also telling Wolverine that he must step it up in order to be liked by others. I happened to mention that the Doctor told me he would choose Wolverine to vote out first as well, which turned out to be a wise decision - the Doctor had told Wolverine he suspected he himself was on the outs. I think the Doctor tried to get me to say incriminating things against Wolverine, but I chose my words carefully, causing the Doctor himself to bring up the possibility of voting for Wolverine. Basically, I am setting up for an alliance of myself, Mysterio, the Knight of the Moon, and Wolverine, all of which are closest to me at this moment. |

Oh no! If I still can, my tiebreaker prediction is that Mysterio will get a point. |

{01} How do you feel about your ability to organize and work together so far? Judging based off of the single team challenge we have had, I feel we have a team that is very smart and capable of taking down team challenges with ease. We are very cooperative, though not the smartest players individually. {02} Any new faces you're enjoying? Any new alliances, or evaporation of old ones? I am liking Mysterio a lot! In fact, I feel that Mysterio and the Knight of the Moon are equal allies at this point. I have not lost any friends, though Storm may dislike me even more than she currently does in an hour or so. {03} Are you concerned for any of your friends on other tribes? Do you think they'll still be as close with you next time you see them? My three friends from other tribes are Deadpool, the Woman of Wonder, and Zatanna, and they are all in the same place. I am not at all worried for their safety. I am, however, concerned about the possibility of them all becoming very close and not feeling very connected to me. I plan to work on that when I am reunited with them. {04} Are you concerned for your safety this Tribal Council? What about future Tribal Councils on Ekron? How much control do you have on this team? I am not. The Knight of the Moon and I are the safest players in this Tribal Council, and everyone else's name has been discussed in some way, shape, or form. I feel like there is no chance of me being eliminated from Ekron, at the rate this team is going. I have a lot of sway on this tribe, being the closest ally to Mysterio, the Knight of the Moon, and Wolverine. At least, I am pretty sure I am. {05} Who would you like to eliminate from Ekron, if you had the choice? If you aren't voting for that player, why not? My true preference would be Storm. However, I am just fine with either Storm or the Doctor of Doom being the elimination at this Tribal Council. Wolverine seems like he would prefer a villain elimination over a hero elimination, and the Knight of the Moon is close to Storm, so that is why Doom is the vote over Storm. {06} What do you hope to accomplish with this vote? What is your vote based on tonight? I am hoping to split up the duo of Storm and the Doctor of Doom before they become an issue for me. I am also getting rid of an untrustworthy player, and one of the two players on Ekron that are not close to me. {07} Ekron represents vigilance and watchfulness. How important are those attributes in this game, in general and for you in particular? Vigilance and watchfulness are very important in the game of Survivor. You must always be looking for things that can go wrong with your plans. Vigilance is actually something I am working on for my game here. I am trying to improve my ability to predict when something is not going according to plan. |

Voting out the Doctor of Doom left me in a strong spot. Right now, I am untouchable, and I can probably get whatever vote I would like as well. Storm's bad reaction to being blindsided by the Doctor vote is helping me by giving me a case to use against her. I hope we lose exactly one more challenge on Ekron, because I would really like to see Storm gone before another swap or a merge, but I would not like to see anyone else on this team go. Someone voted using an artifact last round! There were three shown votes for the Doctor of Doom, but if everyone had voted normally, there would still be a possibility for a tie there. I find it likely that either Storm or the Doctor of Doom did this (probably the Doctor). In that case... it is probably on me. Uh oh. I hope it does not ruin my game down the line. |

Let's do an analysis of where everyone is standing and how they feel about everyone else. The Knight of the Moon is probably the toughest to place. He has the most influence along with myself. Wolverine implies he trusts him and I pretty equally, Mysterio has an alliance with him, and Storm has no choice but to trust him. However, he does not make it clear what he himself thinks. Reading back into our messages, he does not seem to have much loyalty to his alliance with Mysterio. He also does not trust Wolverine all that much. That leaves Storm as the mystery. I want to say his loyalty is clearly with me over her due to him being willing to vote for the Doctor of Doom very early on without telling Storm. Overall, the Knight of the Moon is a player that does not like to show his cards very much, but his allegiance is towards myself. Mysterio is very clearly, unquestionably on my side. We have a very tight alliance based on both smart gameplay and a friendship between each other. He and Storm are enemies, Wolverine and him do not have anything solid yet, and while he does have an alliance with the Knight of the Moon, he does not seem to trust him as much as he does myself. This is a smart player that is sticking to me like glue. He is one of the two players in danger if we go to Tribal Council again, but I will be pushing for a Storm elimination. Storm and I are enemies, that much is certain. She is likely to want to target me, though I will most likely hear about that soon after it happens. She tried to explain to Mysterio things from her point of view, but Mysterio is not going to be swayed. He does see that there is some truth in what she is saying, but that does not mean he will automatically switch allegiances. Wolverine and the Knight of the Moon are still uncertain about whether they would like to vote for her or Mysterio next round, but because Storm is taking their betrayal poorly, I am going to try and convince them that she will not help us later in the game. Wolverine is my ferociously lovable canine. I am the reason he has been more successful in the social game than he otherwise would be - I let him know he was falling behind, and now he is skyrocketing. I believe I have his gratitude and trust. However, he speaks of him, the Knight of the Moon, and myself as a team, which makes me think we are on the same level of his alliance structure. He still feels like he is connected to Storm, but he recognizes that she is very angry. I have been trying to push him and Mysterio together, even suggesting to Mysterio that he should offer an alliance to him, but Wolverine is a big supporter for the heroes voting out the villains. I am working on him, but he will soon be a masterpiece!

This is a simple Tribal Council! Really, us going to Tribal Council was best-case scenario for me. If the other two tribes went, they would just be voting out a weak villain (or, in the worst case for Adara, the Woman of Wonder). With this, I can get rid of Storm easily. Hopefully. Everyone has already agreed to it, and I feel like I can trust Wolverine and the Knight of the Moon. |
