Amp would really prefer if you guys talk exclusively to him on Aries in the future.

I mean, I suppose you can talk to other people, but he's having trouble communicating with less active people on his team, so he'd like to hear what's going on, whether or not you tell anyone else on his team.

Amp reports that Inception said he's taking the books.

EDIT: Now that the update has passed, we can see that info was actually reliable.

Okay, an update happened. We got 1 point. Of course Cancer got 2. Libra also got 2, and I think we like them a little more, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they stole from us anyway.

We need to go for a 3-pointer now, and Cancer knows it, which means Cancer will stop it, which means we can't go for a 3-pointer. Being on the bad side of rigging sucks. :/

I'm more worried about all the collisions our allies had, might make them distrust us

Dreamwalker: hmm
andshock: us and cancer didnt conspire btw
Dreamwalker: Oh, I thought you might've.
andshock: pikachurocks: Both our teams are the only ones with 2 points
andshock: now it looks like we rigged it together
pikachurocks: >.>


With this in mind, should we focus on getting Safety while helping Libra win and hope they don't steal from us, or do you guys have a better plan?

We can't claim anything in the 3-point range, so instead I'm encouraging other teams (any non-Cancer teams) to pick 3 pointers publicly. Maybe we can go make Virgo do that.

My guess is a few teams will try to claim the 3 pointers

Yeah, I think it would be best if we could convince people to grab all the 3 pointers and then see if we could get ourselves a 2.

The more, the better.

I say we go for the spider web 2 pointer... no real reason, other than a poorly-derived belief that it'll be the least-picked 2-pointer.

Anyone have a quick contact on Virgo to get them to claim (without implying a Gemini alliance at all) a 3-pointer?

Wait... Virgo isn't even on the scoreboard

Okay, Mayo added Virgo to the scoreboard. Now we can say they should claim a 3-pointer publicly in order to get back into the game while we take a 2-pointer and then both of us will be at 3 points. So.. can someone contact a reliable ally on Virgo?

I only really know 1 of the Virgo players, and I have no clue if they're active or not. I think I'll leave this one up to someone else at risk of doing what we did earlier to Aries

Fine, I'll msg traptin and see if he does anything.

Want to claim a 3-pointer?

Sorry about what happened with the first round. We really didn't have a strong group of teams going. So I think we'll try a new strategy this time. Go claim a 3-pointer in the topic like Aquarius did (but obviously claim a different one from them).

Since I doubt anyone is going to care enough about preventing Virgo from winning (especially when you have 0 points right now), this will allow your team to go up to 3 points and (if we manage to get a 2-pointer this round) be tied with Gemini at 3 points.

You should act quickly though, because I posed the "Claim a 3-pointer" suggestion in the topic to all non-Cancer teams, since I didn't want Cancer to feel comfortable going for a 3-pointer.

Should we claim the spider web? If we do, another team might deliberately choose it to mess us up. If we don't, we may not have a chance at any 2 or 3 point items. For that matter, why don't we just claim the Extended version of MayoXAppleXFLZ fanfiction erotica? If another team wants to take this round from us they will probably do it whether we claim a 2 or 3 pointer.

Taurus is willing to be with us. They're going for a 1-pointer.
So we can still go for the spider web.

Also, Shock's trying to talk me into an alliance with Libra and Cancer, but I'm like... I really don't think my group is going to trust an alliance with Cancer, sorry, and I don't just dictate my group's decisions anyway. Plus Shock clearly has closer ties to Cancer than to us. He says Inception and TPK were his biggest allies in TES1.

For the record, I'd be down with just sending the spider webs now. I wouldn't recommend publicly addressing it though.

well there could be problems if another team publicly claims the spider web after we sent it in so we should probably wait to see what other teams claim

Could be problems, I guess.

Btw, I coincidentally DID consider the power of public announcements... like right after Mayo updated and before Aquarius made one. But I don't think they're the right think for Gemini. That's why I just tried to capitalize on it so Cancer can't get a 3-pointer.

I just realized thing could go extremely wrong if any Team claims a 2-point item.

I think we might want to switch our strategy: go for another 1-pointer to match Cancer, pray that they are stupid and go for 2-points AND get zero. Going for 2 may be too risky for us.

But then we might fall outside safety...

At this point, I don't think any useful alliance with Cancer will be possible. We basically declared war on the head of their team, after all.

I'd still like a 2 point item, but I could see it being risky (especially since someone else just claimed spider web).

I was thinking about it being risky when I woke up this morning, but unfortunately moving away from a 2point item increases the chance that another team gets a 2point item. :/ evilgames

If we're not going to win, we should at least take Cancer down with us.

Go for a 3-pointer? I have no idea what we should do.

With this public declaration system, it would seemingly leave out 2 teams, since there are only 10 items. What would those teams do, and what would people expect them to do?

Can we try declaring for a 1 pointer? Or do we want to just pick what Cancer did, if we're not scoring anything anyway?

they'd probably go for a 3 pointer or a team with 3 points since they'd get 0 anyway so all they could do is take someone down with them

Yeah, this is looking very bad if other people claim 2-pointers. If not, it's still salvageable.


But yeah, now 1-point is what we should get.


I was thinking a very evil strategy: an ally claims a 3-pointer, then you switch with them while voting.


Could work with allies having tons of fodder, like Pisces.

Hey, if we can do that with Pisces, that would be great.

Btw, I think Taurus wants to ally with us and they say they have any official allies before now. So we can keep that in mind maybe.

Cancer trying to scare the other team away.

I'm hoping the other team isn't active enough to notice. >_>

Anyway, do we know what we're submitting yet for real? This challenge is too random and disasterly for my liking.... as a player anyway. It seems just like something I'd do as a host and watch teams go crazy and then claim that if rigging happens then that's just part of the game.

That or they are stupid, as shown in Round 1.

Also, get a 1-pointer. Let's slowly cimb our way towards Safety.

(read the other topic first as I mistakenly posted there)


It should be easy now for Taurus to claim the same item as us by calling bs on reserving the item before it's announced.

So if someone could tell them to act it out, please...


EDIT: or another ally, I dunno.
