Kyokoooooooooooooooo <3

and Kirumi (sorry I know nothing about your character, I haven't had the chance to play dr3 )

How are you both?

MAKOTO MA BOI GOOD TO SEE YA ONCE AGAIN
that would be great thanks im in the same boat as makoto <3
will do for starters, any idea for a cool clique name?

I'm really, really terrible at coming up with names so I'll leave that to you two

Leon's pretty awesome, the other two (Chihiro and Ibuki) haven't messaged very much yet but seem nice. I'm probably going to be the one overplaying on my tribe too, but I don't think that's a bad thing in a tribe of four.

Can I just say you got all the best characters on your team? Well idk about the robot guy, but Kyoko Celestia and Gundham are all among my favourite characters in the series.

Does 'Playing Mechanics' mean planning for the challenge, or...? Sorry I don't think I know the phrase.

None of the characters on my tribe are my favourites tbh... Except maybe Makoto Leon doesn't get enough screentime to connect well and Ibuki is sort of just... there. Chihiro's pretty good but it's more the Chihiro AI that you get to know and love.

yeah it was poor phrasing on my part, i meant playing to the tactical side of survivor rather than the social side
i was counting the AI in with chihiro lol
im rly into music so i quite enjoyed ibuki lol
yeah im definitely down to work together
slight issue is that i havent figured out how the challenge works but i'll do that tomorrow and get back to you. on that note im calling it a night soon so if this is my last message here then night <3

sonia x gundham is one of the cutest things on the games tho

My tribe were mostly all around at the start too. I think the mods saying there was an item to find right off the bat made everyone show up on time, but nobody actually PM'd for a while because everyone was looking for it

So I've read over the challenge again and I think it's definitely in our best interests to have our tribes work together, if you're both down for that.

Since every tribe has a different innocent person, a different guilty person, and there are 6 people total, that means that there's guaranteed to be a tribe trying to do the opposite of what you're doing (probably two tribes - one trying to prove your innocent person guilty, and one trying to prove your guilty person innocent). Only two tribes actually go to Tribal though, so 0 would almost certainly be a winning score... so if any two of us here had conflicting objectives, it would make sense to just call a truce and have neither of us put any tokens on that character.

Does that make sense?

So, err, my tribe were talking and we think we've found a strategy that could automatically save four tribes if they work together. We got to discussing Cliques and it turns out we have the most overlap with your two tribes (three of us have a Yellow in our Clique, and two have a Silver, all the rest are 1), so working out this plan with you two first would make the most sense because if we were to do this, it would be with Yellow, Silver & one other.

The idea is this...

One player from each of the four allied tribes immediately restrains a player on one of the two other tribes, and never lets go. That takes 8 players out of action, including every single person on the two other tribes, so they can't do anything - and nobody will free them, because the only people able to take actions will be in our group.

The other player from each tribe places a +4 token on their Guilty suspect. Then, ONLY if no token has been placed on their innocent suspect, they'll place a -3 on their innocent suspect.

This guarantees that:

a) Each allied tribe will have either 7 points (if they have a +4 on their Guilty and a -3 on their innocent) or 0 points (if they have a +4 on their Guilty and a +4 on their Innocent).
b) Both of the other tribes will either have -3 points (if they have a -3 on their Guilty), -4 points (if they have a +4 on their innocent) or -7 points (if they have both).

Those two tribes can't do anything because all their players are restrained for the entire duration of the challenge. There's no benefit to coming in first, so it doesn't matter who has 7 points and who has 0 - all four allied tribes will be safe and the other 2 will go to Tribal Council.

There is a possibility it doesn't work if and only if the two other tribes get the same innocent/guilty suspects but swapped - but (I think) it's a tiny chance that that happens, and we could work out whether it would be the case by telling each other our innocent/guilty suspects in advance.

Thoughts?

Insert gif of barbossa saying 'agreed'
we're in. Gundham has our cliques listed so i'll chat to him and see who works as a 4th

Leaders or cuties would be the best 4th for us, but we arent massively bothered

Uh, which colour are they?
