I had sent him a reply after I got his last message:

Re: What are you taking?

That's not surprising if it's true, but it's Inception, so who knows if it's even true? Inception will likely betray his own alliance for an advantage at some point anyway, and then they'll have to turn back on him.

Sent to: Jet_the_hawk79 on 4/13/2014 1:41:19 PM
This message was first read on 4/13/2014 1:58:29 PM

And he replied back to me:

Re: What are you taking?

Well it's just an anti-Gemini alliance, so as soon as someone annoys him he probably will betray it. Just wanted to let you know in case they cause trouble. I'll tell you who's in it if my team decides to join.

So I guess Jet isn't making the decisions on Sag. Anyway, I didn't reply again cause I need to get stuff done today:

Good luck getting safety this week, guys. We'll need it. :/

Poor ignorant Mayo thinking he could set a 36 time limit without some teams using almost all of it. I made that mistake many times myself.

Just had a short steamchat with Amplefy of Aries. He was a bit upset...

Quote:
 
Amplefy: gemini right?
Maelstrom: yes
Amplefy: dream said i should talk to somone else on the team since he was away studying
Maelstrom: I'm as good as any, then :)
Amplefy: what do you think about the challenge
Maelstrom: I think it's going to require some collaboration between several teams if we want a shot a tangible shot at safety
Amplefy: well i'll tell you what i told cody last night
Maelstrom: We've been reaching out to a few teams, hoping to give us and everyone we work with a shot at safety
Amplefy: inception was trying to get us to commit to working against you guys
Amplefy: but i don't want to do that
Amplefy: i'd be more than happy to work with you rather
Maelstrom: that would be awesome
Amplefy: i haven't talked to my team yet, but i'm by far the most active member anyways (gonna work on the inactivity issue)
Amplefy: did most of the boxart myself
Amplefy: pronouncemyname helped out as well
Amplefy: bomb watched us and most of the rest of our team was quiet
Amplefy: we did get ayuvir back in by pm'ing him and catching him up on current events - he'd just forgotten about it
Amplefy: so maybe thats all the rest need and we can be an even better team
Maelstrom: You guys have potential
Maelstrom: But yeah, Inception has a history of only keeping allies as long as they're useful to him.
Amplefy: i believe i'll be making the submission for our team
Maelstrom: And I'm not saying our strategy for this challenge is a surefire victory, but it's our best shot.
Amplefy: wait
Amplefy: who on my team did you contact?
Amplefy: someone who has never said anything in the game just posted on our qt that they made a deal with you already
Maelstrom: It must have been someone else on my team who
Amplefy: i don't even know who this person is, the qt name they are posting with isn't even the same as their gfaqs name
Maelstrom: Oh, Raka
Maelstrom: He's the guy we contacted, apparently
Amplefy: instead of one of the only 2 people doing anything on the team
Amplefy: you guys know him already?
Maelstrom: It was Baruch that was going to contact Aries. I guess he just picked a random member. >_>
Maelstrom: Not the smartest idea, I guess
Amplefy: i'm not happy that this was agreed upon without any team discussion
Amplefy: especially by someone who did absolutely nothing the past 2 weeks
Amplefy: in the qt i posted stuff like "where is everyone at"
Amplefy: and no response other than pro
Amplefy: and now this guy is dictating our submission at your request -.-
Maelstrom: I apologize on Gemini's behalf for not contacting you first instead.
Amplefy: well i guess our submission is decided and you already know what it is anyways
Amplefy: pleasure working with you
Maelstrom: Thanks. Sorry about the circumstances though

I'm not sure if I can speak 100% for Baruch, but I'm pretty sure he contacted Raka because they know each other outside the game. Makes it seem like less of a random stretch PM, I guess.

The part about them having their submission decided without input from the rest of their team is hardly our fault, though, that's just disorganization on their part :/

It really should have been me to contact Aries, I suppose(I've been talking with Amplefy regularly, after all) I just sort of forgot he was an Aries.

Just to keep things organized, let's keep a running list of which team is taking what. (I don't know if we're contacting/have contacted all these teams. I'm just listing the ones I've seen mentioned in this topic thusfar). I realize Scorpio volunteered the exact item they're taking, and that's not how it was supposed to happen, but I guess it works out.

Gemini:
Aries:
Leo:
Sagittarius:
Scorpio: Camera
Pisces:
Virgo:
Taurus:

I'm not going to be around for the next 20 hours or so. Everyone needs to be sure to communicate when and with whom it is necessary.

Raka answered, Aries want a 2-point item, preferably the keys.

I think it's obvious, but based on our allies' answers we should go for a 1-point item.


How much time is left, BTW? I can't check the clock now.

14 hours 40 minutes

Still no sign of the guy I PMed on Sagittarius
.
Edit: Actually, that's not true, he replied quite a while ago, I just forgot about it because he didn't seem that sure of himself. Guess I'll add him anyways...

Gemini:
Aries: 2 point item (preferably keys)
Leo:
Sagittarius: 2 point item
Scorpio: Camera
Pisces:
Virgo:
Taurus:

12 hours left, I think we can give the go signal to our allies. If anyone else answers afterwards we'll tell them too (as long as they don't choose the same as another Team).

I'll be telling Aries to choose the keys.

As for us, which 1-point item do we choose?

Whatever, as long no other Team of ours has chosen it.



...Not that it matters. Unless we get set more than 4 allies this round I doubt anyone is going to score 2 points.

Speaking of which, we should prepare a message for our allies for when they'll complain saying that they didn't score any points because of their terrible strategy.

Something like: "to avoid leaks we can't tell you which voting options we consider the safest, you need to decide yourselves".

Which is true, as anyone could be a spy and leak to Cancer what we think other teams should vote. Which would be a catastrophe.

I'll suggest they take the defender bot.

I think we should take the toilet, it is property of our team after all.

Scorpio and Saggitarius are both going for Camera. Can you tell Sag to change, Kirby?



Also please someone send our vote. I won't be awake when the end of the round happens.

As for what we should take: let's NOT take the toilet. Better to just randomize than to do anything that could be predictable in the slightest.

Tell them what to take in case they switch to something other Team has, don't leave it up to them.

Oh. Well, in that case it's their fault. Just hoping they don't crash into another Team.


...Or whimsically start changing their opinions every 5 minutes in order to test the waters and know what half of the Teams are going to vote, so that they can report to Cancer.

Not really. Each Team doesn't know who are our allies and who aren't, so in case the worst happens we can tell them it was just bad luck.




And for the record, I was expecting it to go this bad, or worse. Communication amongst many Teams is very difficult, even for something as simple as this. Which is a good thing, because it means there's no way in hell Cancer can organize something like this if we aren't able to.


Second Round will go better, but yeah, even with excuses I expect at least one or two of our allies to say "Fuck this shit, I'm going solo your strategy sucks".

Fine by me. Do you want to send the vote?


EDIT: ...Unless that quote belongs to someone else in the game who may want to get it for nostalgic reasons.


I feel I'm lacking too much TES lore knowledge to make a decision.

Sagittarius's response to me pointing out they totally ignored my suggestion? "I didn't even notice [defender bot] was an item, that explains why your PM confused me a little."
