A lot to talk about, but I'll make sure to get a video posted early tomorrow but basically, my OG Planet Plan is back! But this time with a hitch because now I'm possessing two separate universes, which whether is happens this round or in the future, will undoubtedly lead to this -
Basically, I've tried to step up my active strategic game through the use of my social game. My social game is definitely my strength, but you can't claim a social game without actually building off of it to play the game. So, I put myself out there to Charity and Taylor to secure those bonds alongside my previously build bonds with Amanda and Tyler, but obviously separate. I got called inactive by Adrian of all fucking people because nobody would admit that they had talked to me on old Nawa, and I kinda want to keep my name out of as many mouths as possible by getting people to trust me enough that they don't want to admit that they've talked to me but because I'm like that with most everyone, my name want be brought up as a target. Thus, keeping my status on the DL.
I've kinda planted seeds of Amanda vs. Adrian for this vote because of their previous "beef" which is strategic in the sense that I want Adrian gone and makes the concern for a Nawa group like, low, because the strategy to go in and say Taylor/Eddie/Charity should raise huge red flags to competent players of a tight Nawa group, therefore resulting in an Adrian swing vote position. So I'm fine with kicking Adrian and Amanda under the bus because A) I think Amanda will stay over Adrian if those two are the options and B) It makes me seem not close to them. Also, if it seems like Adrian and/or Amanda are the ones driving the vote against each other, whoever stays can take claim for this move and be seen as playing hard and I can just sit back in the shadows.
There's a few issues regarding playing like this, but the main issue in these swapped but pre-merged rounds are that your spot gets blown up and they clock you because they see what you're doing. So I need to avoid that happening, and I'm hoping that based off some of the groundwork I've done that even if they do see it they'll say, well I like Nick and think that I can work with him, therefore I'd rather not vote him out at this stage in the game.
There's more thoughts to share but the video will hopefully cover that, but basically the jist is, I'm trying to solidify bonds outside of Tyler/Amanda because having options and people who can trust you in these game don't hurt, I'm just always skeptical of how I'm teetering and hoping that people won't see what I'm doing.
