Ethy came to me confirming he has been working with Rexxy this entire MM and wants to protect him from the DM. In exchange for not picking me as DM candidate (in the event he wins), I offered to push him however he likes if he comes to me. Not sure who he would use his ability on.
Also not sure how to approach influencing the DM pick to Ethy. I know that Trevor is the biggest possibility of choosing you in case, but I worked with Plat/Arnold this MM so I want to protect them/don't think they'd pick me.
Plat/Arnold pick idk Trevor picks Kevin Joshua idk
Thoughts?

Joshua - Not me: When he approached me, he said regardless of the outcome, he wouldn't pick me for DM, but to help him with reset. Plat - Trevor/Joshua Arnold - Trevor/Joshua/Rexxy Ethy - Plat/You(If no deal made) You - Rexxy/Trevor Rexxy - Plat/Arnold Trevor - Plat/Me Me -

I'll let you know my game - I build social capital in Main Match 1. I reached out to everyone but Trevor/Tom. Only you were the only one I was fully trusted.
In main match #1 - I never forgot that I was last recruited as a group - so I viewed myself as a last minute scapegoat for DM during the early rounds. So to avoid that - I tried to build social relationships - hence with Arnold/Ethy since I viewed those two as social players.
MM 2 - I told Arnold I was mallard and he knew Ethy was Deer, and we formed to win MM2. I think that is what made sure we kept tabs on each other for a while.
THroughout the main matches, I actually did not want to win MM's, but dumb luck put me into situations where I won. But I also notice that Ethy and Anrold were threats, mostly Ethy with his strong social game with having Trevor/Rexxy and connections deal with Arnold, along with Joshua.
I've been doing is to give all info to you to plan out how to avoid DM'. In Main Match 6 - Ethy/Rexxy/Plat chose you for DM candidate, but I manage to sway them towards to Lukas. So I do have social game, but I think having reach out to everyone puts me at a position where I can't win without breaking deals.
Now that we are open betrayals - I've been trying to make sure you win this MM or avoid DM. I figured Ethy would garner a deal with anyone to avoid DM, I think he is the biggest threat in the game, it feels like Trevor trusts Ethy the most, but does not know that Ethy would prefer to have Rexxy win over Trevor.
So my point is i'm going to do what it takes to be cutthroat and break deals for us to stay alive. I'll try reaching out to Trevor/Arnold/Plat to make sure Ethy/Rexxy don't manage to win.
Unsure if you should go ahead with Ethy deal, you can say yes for now, i'm trying to think whats the best move , as we are all near the finish line

oh wow I still have to take all of this in but I am thoroughly touched <3 you are the only person I have trusted this entire game as well. and with that I reveal to you (and only you) that I am kpooper97 from the subreddit game on r/TheGenius. So I found it amusing seeing you comment on the TSG posts with Extreme Ways . proof (video link on my dropbox account; prepared to share with the cast in the event I get eliminated. well mas too since he can see aha. Mas pls do not share with other peeps tysm) : www.dropbox.com/s/9dfurhe1muu38ai/-kpooper97.movCoincidentally, this genius ORG MM1 took place during MM10 of TSG. I was on the verge of elimination there and gave up to sign up for mas' ORG. ------------------------ Coming into this genius ORG, I wanted to just let things be and not try to force anything. Conversely, in TSG I actively made alliances and was gotten completely mentally drained with building them. I also made a secret final 2 deal there with someone that was a big reason for my success ironically aha. Anyways, MM1 here I literally didn't do anything while a couple ppl reached out (you/Rexxy/Ethy mostly). MM2 nothing again, but you and Ethy actively approached me. MM3 I got all my info from you/Ethy and Arnold gave me his side's info (Merriska/Plat) MM4 again just slid by. Got proof Ethy betrayed me in that 1st round with just me and him tho so a red flag on Ethy. MM5 I had to win since Arnold/Lukas already have seen a DM. Ethy's strong performance as cop was when he became a target for me. You are the reason I am safe (gratefully so) and I got Arnold/Plat as allies. It may be for only this match but we'll see. Arnold has asked for garnets from Plat/myself for the first pick bidding. --------------------------- Now that TSG is over; I have somehow landed an unbreakable partnership with you, an alliance with Arnold/Plat, and a good relationship with Ethy (maybe one sided with me wanting to target him as well). Dumb luck also saved me four times from the DM in TSG. (TSG MM6 I was last place, but someone suicided to drag someone to DM TSG MM7 I was told that last place would've picked me if they didn't go for vacation TSG MM10 I would have gone to the DM if I was not given the ToL - the ToL giver was also like an Ethy to me TSG MM11 I had the worst time, but the other two players submitted wrong passcodes so I won) --------------- Strategically, I am on the same page with you that Ethy/Rexxy can't win. However if Joshua/Rexxy/Trevor is the DM candidate there is a huge risk I will get picked. So my best case scenario is you & anyone but Ethy/Rexxy winning. That way Arnold/Plat get chosen as DM candidate since they won't pick me. From TSG, I have found that I do not like to betray bc it makes me uncomfortable but I will do whatever it takes to help you win. Esp backing on on the deal with Ethy.

Cool! , didn't know you were also in the Reddit The Genius game. I tried to keep tabs on that game as an observer as well! Thanks for sharing that, won't tell anyone playing in this forum. Well, will see what happens, Arnold miss chance of silence, so unsure what Trevor would do now

I'm legit pissed that Arnold missed his silence this turn because now Trevor is gonna pull Rexxy back and there's nothing we can do about it. So fcking dumb my gosh.
No idea if his excuse is fake and he has a deal with Trevor but I'm honestly over it after all the work I put in with getting Joshua away from space 7

If Trevor pulls Rexxy, then I get deleted I would auto finish and I can't activate you and you to reset Play.
By Arnold missing silence he just screwed himself/you/Plat/myself and our chances of winning are extremely slim now
I don't see other options at this point. Feels like we're at the mercy of Rexxy/Ethy/Trevor/Joshua. Joshua might pick silence on his next reset

okay I'm gonna push you back so you can reset Plat. Plat should pull you back again so you can avoid finishing too early.
I also checked in my confessional: it is legal for you to reset someone with all 4 move cards. So in case you don't want to reset anyone in particular for your second reset you can choose someone with all cards if you want.

Okay good to know. Thank!
Also, I don't think Trevor realizes Ethy is helping Rexxy more than him imo

I think Rexxy deletes first before I reset

I think Plat will be inactive since its near night time. May have posted too soon, since I too will sleep

Just a heads up, but I checked in my confessional and you can't reset yourself. So it looks like you'll be finishing on your next turn :L

My plan is to get JOshua to copy Union, and pull you, and just try to convince him to knock out the Trevor/Gravity duo with Arnold's help. He goes before me, and copies another power. If Ethy/Trevor are out, then its a toss up between you and the rest. I plan on not winning it, but i'm not liking Rexxy deleting me, when he had the chance to knock out Trevor with Arnold potentially silencing him.

I think Rexxy deleted you as a threat against Trevor and by extension Ethy.
Getting Joshua to pick union is contingent on getting reset tho. Joshua has to play his last move card/or be reset before he can choose a new power. So you get pulled by Plat, then reset Joshua?
I like it. Do you think I should put in a word with Joshua about this plan to reset him or just leave it up to you? Not sure if Joshua likes me since I took part in the stalemate against him.
