I was going to suggest we go ahead and play this tiebreaker out legit (since we never get to do this just for fun), but you guys already started helping! If you want to throw it Baruch, so be it.

Regardless of who wins, we're all in agreement to nominate Mannequin/Popcorn, correct?

Well I wouldn't have said anything and would've let you play it out legit, except Baruch was planning to throw it so I figured in a "legit playout" he would just submit nothing or almost nothing.

I personally think you should at least "concede" through each sending a submission though. You don't have to wait til the deadline to send it.. you can just send it within the next several hours and make sure Cody sends the submission with more correct answers.

I think this might secure Cody's place as the new power player in the game, since Lucky's gone now and someone needs to fill that void.

...Which we don't want since it might flip Scorpio before Taurus is gone.

12. "This guy are sick"- FF7/ "You have died of dysentery"- Oregon Trail
The second one seems more likely because it's a far more famous quote.
not really

Sorry about the tie, Cody. I shouldn't have gotten you to change #12.
On the other hand, if Kirby had been online, the variant I told him to send would've scored 8/12, so we could've avoided the tie that way.

But the tie might not be bad. It buys you guys more time to think about whether to nominate 2 Taurus, 2 Scorpio, or a Taurus and a Scorpio. And which people in particular.
when i contacted scorpio, i said "As a reminder, we Gemini have kept our word in all the deals we've made through the game, even when Orion was freshly formed and we decided to finish with non-Chimera before nominating Scorpio."
and i'm pretty sure it was someone else's suggestion to mention that.

i'm not gonna vote against scorpio until it's necessary.

I see kirby beat me to it, but I knew most of these outright (except for 9 of course >_<), and put together a list of what (to the best of my knowledge) are the original uploads of each video:

For context on how easy it is, I've never watched any of these videos before and it still only took me that long to find them.

So I think it's safe to assume that 9/10 is basically the minimum score anyone will have

I don't know what #9 is but it gives me the impression of some 15-year-old trying to rap or sing some song on video.

(not like it really matters who wins Rebel)

(unless Popcorn/Mannequin have some kind of special item that will allow the other one to save himself after the first one saves himself with the rebel power if one of them manages to win that)

Well I think we're still at 9/10, so someone should submit that right now. Maybe you can do that Baruch? If someone finds 9 before the deadline, then they can submit 10/10.

Good thought, Cody.

Btw, I just realized that if there are no hidden idol type things that save someone and if you guys agree Mannequin is a bigger threat than Popcorn, then the only point of this whole Rebel Challenge is to see if Mannequin wins. If Mannequin wins it, then Popcorn is voted out and Mannequin stays in the game another week. If Mannequin loses, then Mannequin is voted out.

I feel kind of bad for the guy.. not really bad, not even a moderate amount of bad.. just kind of bad.

Ok, well I don't think I'll be much help now that you've filled in that many.

Has anyone done the reverse image search yet on the missing ones?

Just saw the 9 and sent it, but it's past the deadline (the other 8 I sent a while ago).

The only upside of your late sending is that it means we don't have another tie.

Also, Mannequin is proving himself deadly when it comes down to individual fights, so we can use that as anti-Mannequin propoganda to get rid of him next week if he doesn't win a comp.

I say either nominate Hapex (cause other than Mannequin he's the last guy not in the ES1 club) or do that public random number generation I propose in the topic. Like do some kind of /roll d4 somewhere under the watchful eyes of Scorpio.

On the off chance we actually want to blindside someone, any suggestions? >_>

Otherwise, I'll ask for volunteers, and failing that, just randomize it.

Oh, I didn't even consider that someone would volunteer. If you randomize though, people might not believe it's random unless you did it in a way that everyone could see it's legit.

I recommend some colored skittles. Have everyone draw one.

Edit: I'm referencing the skittle draw in the most recent season of Big Brother, in case you didn't get that.

I got a PM from Popcorn mentioning our old mango ties, saying we should keep him around, and warning me that mannequin was the main scorpio-taurus point of contact back when they worked together so he'll probably join scorpio over us.

Probably just him saying stuff to try and survive, but thought I'd mention it both as a warning (for the next round, not this one) and because I told him I'd bring it up with the rest of gemini

HELLO
So, I don't really know if this will change anything. In fact, I'm pretty much fully expecting to be eliminated. But I gotta try. So, where to start. I think Mannequin winning Rebel is bad for Gemini. I don't know how closely Gemini and Scorpio are working together, but, something is going to happen sooner or later. Back when Taurus was working with Scorpio, Mannequin was our link to them. My gut feeling tells me that he is still working with them. Even if he isn't now, when it comes down to things, Mannequin will for sure vote alongside Scorpio. This could turn things against Gemini. If Scorpio were to decide to turn things on Gemini, they'll have Mannequin voting with them. Strike first. Keep me in the game. As far as Scorpio and Gemini go, I like Gemini much better. I'd help you guys and vote with you against Scorpio. Consider it at the very least. Help me and I'll help you.

Probably don't need to ask, but just to make sure: we're still voting him out, right? Would be dumb to mess up due to internal team confusion at this point
