Round 6

[tangela]

I'm literally LOLing at Gloom winning HoH with the unbelievably shit song he came up with. 

"Drool Lines"
(feat. Gloom & RnnrBrian)

Everybody Gloom up
Everybody Gloom up
Hey, Gloom, hey
Hey, Gloom, hey
Hey, Gloom, hey

If you can't feel what my petals say
If you can't smell me from far away
Maybe I'm Gloomin' up,
Maybe I'm Gloomin' down
Maybe I'm out of my droooooooool

OK now he was close, tried to Poke Catch you
But you're a wild Pok', Gloomy it's in your nature
Just let me leech seed you
Hey, Gloom, hey
You don't need no stun spore
Hey, Gloom, hey
That man is not your Poke Master

And that's why I'm gon' take a Good Gloom
I know Gloom wants it
I know Gloom needs it
I know you want it
You're a Good Gloom
Can't let it get past me
You're far from Grass Type
Talk about getting drooled on
I hate these Drool Lines
I know Gloom wants it
I know Gloom needs it
I know you want it
But I'm a Bad Gloom
The way you catch me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, come catch me

Like, are we serious here? 



And not even Top 2, though? Who the fuck was judging this, a retard? I'm beyond annoyed right now. Not even mad that Gloom won, because I'm sure I'm safe, but the fact that THAT won over mine? Are we kidding here? Ashton, are you near? Seriously... I should go relax.

I'm sorry that you're upset with the results of the challenge. Three judges, including myself, judged this challenge. You were not at the top of anyone's list. Your lyrics were good and creative, however the fact that none of the judges placed you at the top of their list should indicate to you that we saw something special in the other contestant's submissions. Whether it be from an originality stand point, or some other reason. Subjective challenges can be difficult to judge which is why I employ the help of others and not just myself to make a decision call about a winner. And no, the judges are not retards. I don't mind most language, but using the word "retard" is something that I personally find offensive. Please watch your tongue when you are letting out your frustrations. Thanks.

Oh my god, I am the queen of this game right now.



I single-handedly managed to turn a terrible situation (Jynx & Scyther -- my two main niggas) into a flaw-free one. Once I saw that Gloom turned his back on the alliance of 6 (which wasn't a bad idea, but he made his move WAAAAY too early, and without the majority supporting him -- fucking terrible idea) I went to work in fixing it.

(Tangela To Jynx)

Ugh, bitch you better win this Veto. Gloom is a fucking moron for pulling this shit so early (especially without consulting us -- I'm all for a threat being booted, but he went about it ALL the wrong way, especially since without us, his ass would've been pre-jury.

Veto needs to be used this week; I know Gloom's main target is Scyther -- I'm trying to make it seem as if Dewgong and Scyther are really close to each other, so if it is used, we can get Dewgong out and have non-factor eliminated. We can use Scyther to get back on Gloom, since Scyther has a big chance of winning HoH next round and let them two go at each other.

I immediately told Jynx, my main girl, of the plan -- which was to make it seem as much as possible that Scyther & Dewgong are very very close. This was for the purpose of if the Veto was used on either Jynx/Scyther, Dewgong would be the replacement nominee, since Gloom was coming for Scyther's head.

Next thing I did was talk to Lopunny (whom I'm almost 100% positive has been working with Gloom. If Gloom didn't consult Scyther/Myself/Jynx before noms, I can only assume he has some ties with whomever is outside of us 4) and lay the seeds for her to believe Dewgong & Scyther were close, hoping that Lopunny would be the big mouth that she is and relay the message.

(Convo with Lopunny)

Lopunny: So, what'd you think about this weeks noms?

Tangela: I was gonna ask the same, lulz.
I think they're good; Scyther is a big threat.
But I would've put up Dewgong instead of Jynx, since he and Dewgong are close.

Lopunny: Oh, I didn't know they were close.


Tangela: They are.
Everytime I talk to Scyther about votes he's like "Well, I definitely have Dewgong"
And when Dewgong was up, he tried hardcore to save him.

Lopunny: Yea, I noticed that. I just didn't realize it was because they were close.
Hmm...
I thought he was just taking a stab at Ninjask, rather than protecting Dewgong.

Tangela: Naw, he was telling me last HoH he hopes me or Dewgong win it so he's safe.
But he was saying Dewgong's song sucked.
So apparently they exchanged their HoH songs.
So yeah, they be close.

Now that I knew Lopunny had the bug in her ear that Dewgong/Scyther were close, I hoped she had relayed the message to Gloom. After this, I told Scyther of my plan...

(Convo with Scyther)

Tangela: Hey, I'm pretending I support the noms
And want you out
And I'm making it seem like you're close to Dewgong
So if Veto is used, he goes up and out instead of you.
You have Me/Jynx/Charmander voting with you; there's 6 people voting.
So you'd need one more.
I'd work on Mime.
Milotic isn't trustworthy.

Scyther:
okay
I've told Lopunny that I've been working with Dewgong
She approached me asking if the rumors were true*

Tangela: Lopunny asked you if you were with Dewgong?

Scyther:
Hopefully that will solidify Dewgong getting nom'd as a replacement in the case that I get veto
Yep

(Talking about the bolded part) I knew that things were working in my favor when Lopunny actually messaged Scyther to see if Dewgong and him were actually as close as I suggested.

I knew I shouldn't rely too much on Lopunny messaging Gloom, so I wanted to lay down some more work in the plan for Dewgong's nomination by directly talking to Gloom myself. 

(Tangela to Gloom)

Hey, haven't caught you online since before you won (congrats, btw). Thanks for not putting me up.

IDK who your main target is this week, but hopefully it's Scyther, and not Jynx. He's the biggest social threat, and also a big competition threat.

(Gloom to Tangela)

Hey Tangela!

My target for this round IS Scyther. I think he's the biggest threat and that's why I put him up! Jynx I just put up because he's never given me the time of day lolol!

-Gloomy

(Tangela To Gloom)
Scyther won Veto. -____- If I had to suggest putting anyone up, I would suggest Dewgong. He and Scyther are close and him winning HoH would mean you probably going up. If he leaves, Scyther would have to win the HoH against everyone else, since we all agreed that he should go (I spoke with Charmander -- he said he was happy to see Scyther up, too). It'll be 1 vs 7 if Dewgong leaves.

I basically gave him the impression (by saying that both myself and Charmander, and the rest of the house, support the noms) everyone supported the nominations and wanted Scyther out. By doing this, he would feel more pressure to put up Dewgong, knowing that he is close to Scyther, and the entire house wanted to see Scyther out ASAP (which isn't true). 

Now, I knew that if Scyther came off and Dewgong was up against Jynx, Dewgong would 100% go home without much of any need to campaign. But, if Jynx was taken down and it was Dewgong vs Scyther, I would've had to put in some work, needing 4 votes to stay in the game. I had spoken to Jynx and Charmander, so I knew we had at least 3 votes and so we needed a 4th. I don't trust Milotic, and Lopunny has become more and more shady throughout the game, so I knew I had to talk to Mr. Mime. During the entire game, Mime and I have made round-by-round deals, but I knew I had to make something a LOT more solid with him if I wanted to depend on his vote to keep Scyther over Dewgong.

(Tangela to Mr. Mime)

Still sucks we never catch each other on AIM, lol. I'd like to talk to you more in depth about strategy.

I don't really feel solid with anyone, and I know it's already final 9 and a lil late to be making new bonds and stuff, but was wondering if you'd like to make something more solid than just a "you don't nominate me, I won't nominate you" sort of thing? What do you think?

So basically I offered him a solid deal instead of the round-by-round strategy that I've been doing with him, and I'm sure he's been doing with just about everyone else.

(Mr. Mime to Tangela)

After last round I figured I was in a "win everything or go home" situation. So if you want to make a deal to get to end-game, I am completely down and can try to win challenges to protect us so we don't get nominated and can make decisions together.

So basically, I set up a long-term commitment to Mr. Mime for the sake of his vote this round, in the case that Jynx was taken down and Scyther was up against Dewgong, and I needed 4 votes to successfully make my plan happen (because 3-3 would've let to Gloom sending Scyther home).

I knew I was covered from basically any angle, and I definitely feel like I managed to pull a huge-game changing move this round with Dewgong leaving. Now the lines are drawn, and Gloom should definitely be worried of myself, Scyther, or Jynx win the next HoH (which is very likely). Right now, my main goal is to build more on my relationship with Mr. Mime, because if he wins the HoH (which is a big chance) I want him to play for me, and not on the side of Gloom & Co. It'll definitely be a fun/interesting next few rounds! Finally, I have some competition to look forward to!



Bring it on, people!
