The Final Merge

So I just entered overanalyzing Dream mode™ and looking at the grid
Posted Image
I can't help but feel that star might hide something.

"For this challenge, you will want one player to be the first to reach the center square on an 11x11 grid marked by the blue star."
Notice how instead of telling us to reach the star, or just not putting it in the grid since the goal is pretty obvious, he goes for this kind of awkward wording and picture?
What if whoever reaches the star first becomes the first Rainbow King?

I'm glad someone else will take over for me in the overanalysis department.

I didn't pay much attention to the challenge rules, actually, but I really like your conjecture. Given how many other rules and ideas they copied from me, it would make sense that they'd copy the "award the HoH-like item before the final merge actually happens" idea as well, particularly since they know that person who reaches the star won't be voted out prior to the merge because their team won't be voted. It's probably worth trying to get there before Taurus, Scorpio, and Achilles. If Ebony is throwing the comp, however, that would mean Kefi, Kirby, or Cody has to be the one to reach the star for Ivory.

I asked Mayo whether he'll reveal mine placements at the end and yes he will so don't try to lie to Chimera.

Though judging by the lack of posts I guess nobody cares about my conspiracy anyway :( (except for Dream)

Who of us has a ring?

Since this is the last time they can be used, we should use all we have.

I was thinking about it a couple of days ago. I'm not one to cover my ass when it's not necessary, but I think now that Dream is gone the most probable target in Ebony is going to be either Choco or me.

So yeah, some ringing is a good idea.

I have one.

Since chances are Ivory won't be voting, I'm willing to give it to someone who feels they need it

I remember yours, but I was hoping we'd have 2.

Oh well. I agree it's either Baruch or me, but after talking about the common enemy for so long - who liked going for the same 2 people - they might find that too predictable.

Well, unless my count is wrong there aren't enough rings in non-Gemini's hands to pull out the same stunt again... but Scorpio could decide to go rogue and vote against us by neglecting to follow a potential split vote.

I think the key here is to get Taurus' help, and massvote one of the two non-Chimeras (while pretending to splitvote in Chimera's forum). I can PM lucky and ask how he feels about it, on the basis of time spent in Platinum.

Unless anyone thinks it's a bad idea?

Or unless radman is definitely suiciding this week, in which case all this is unnecessary?

I'm just paranoid in general about Chimera turning on Gemini, after what happened to Dream.

It was just Cocainius who went after me, from my understanding of the situation. And he tells me he did it more to add drama and to make Achilles not feel as bad about being steamrolled. Basically, he ruined my game and it wasn't even because he thought it would help his own. Either that or he's just trying to make it seem that way so he doesn't look threatening. Who knows.

But even though only he turned on me last week, I suspect that act has caused the rest of Chimera to split as well, so being wary is good. But yeah, if Ebony is going to lose (which is I think what we're doing?) and then radman either officially quits or just doesn't vote, then we don't even need to use rings. Has anyone else spoken to radman since his message to me when he said he was losing interest?

It looks like Kirby will be the one claiming the center star first, so if there are any hidden extra benefits, we should be OK.

As for the Ring, I guess it's up to Kirby, but I think Baruch would be the most logical person to give it to. They might remember his tendency to be trusting rather than cautious. Plus, it would be pretty easy to convince Link to vote with them if Baruch is the target.

Yeah I was also thinking Baruch, basically all the messages being sent from mysterious alts back in the days of team Platinum involved people banding together to vote him out

As long as we don't tell Chimera about the ring, it may foil any plans against Gemini.


Or as Dream said maybe his elimination was an isolated incident.

Yeah, but there's no point keeping the ring beyond this week, so we might as well act under the assumption that they're after all our asses

I had two pendants, and those are both gone now. One I used and one became worthless at the Second Merge and then evaporated when I was eliminated.

Ivory Gemini has 2 rings, so we could've protected a couple people, maybe Baruch and Choco (since Choco occasionally gets framed by Shock or whomever), but it doesn't really matter now that Radman is gone. I suggest Gemini try to work this Radman leaving thing to their advantage. Scorpio and Achilles are a minority in comparison to Gemini+Taurus, so if we can get the game to become a war between those two factions (and get Scorpio and Achilles to target Lucky, Dragon (Lucky2), and FvP (Lucky3?) in the even they win HoH) then Gemini can be in a good spot. Now that Gemini isn't holding Fodder, Lucky will look more threatening in terms of fodder.

Kirby, please let us know if anything special happens with that star.

I really liked Team Omega, but wish Dream hadn't suggested it in the topic, because now everyone else will be biased against it.

some bad ideas:

Team Mates
Team Time
Team Tyrannus
Team Terrible
Team Terrific
Team Tech
Team XxXChocoRulesxXx
Team Tempest
Team Texas
Team Team 7

Well, since I had some free time and there's nothing happening I went back to the Chimera topic about the poker challenge to see if Kefi had actually said he had a ring.

And he had.

Just once. In a single sentence.

Never to be mentioned again.


...So we can be kinda angry, but not too much?

Dream pays attention to these things. Or at least he did back when he was in the game and read every forum and topic post he could get his hands on. How you and Choco did not notice Kefi saying that is beyond me. Or maybe you did notice but somehow didn't find it a fact worth writing down. Was I the only one (besides Kefi, of course) to notice it?

Or maybe I just spent too much time reading forums for my own good. :<

Or submit my name. Team Dream. Because Mayo and Machete are 2 hosts, and I was 1 host, so I'm like their merger.

So you consider the possibility of us not "noticing" a post but not the possibility of someone not remembering every single ring owner?

Wait, did you literally write that shit down?

Read: "Or maybe you did notice but somehow didn't find it a fact worth writing down."

That shows I did consider the possibility that you guys didn't remember. But it's still a little negligent for not making an actual note of it somewhere.

And did I literally write it down? I'm not sure how to answer that. I typed it into a text document, yes, but I didn't write it on actual paper. But I think the answer you're looking for is Yes. Should that surprise you from a guy who archives all the topics?

EDIT: New board to be added soon.

BTW, lucky has proposed that this new alliance is called Team Orion, since (in his words)

I just did some digging around, if we want another name, and found that apparently gemini and taurus are adjacent zodiac constellations, and that apparently between them (or southeast of taurus and southwest of gemini, but still very close to both) is Orion. Orion is one of the most major of constellations, even including the zodiacs, so being a close neighbor to both, and fairly equidistant from both, we could be the Team Orion alliance. Especially since it would play back to the two teams being allies since the constellations phase, it would be nice to pull that back in.



I like it a lot.

lucky has just realized someone with a guest, unapproved account (say. Link) has access to the recently registered userlist. So one could potentially see that the entirety of Gemini has registered lately in Platinum for no good reason.

Still, that sounds a bit farfetched scenario.
