are you trying to jury manage me? dude, i know you're voting for me this round. i really meant what i said about ibuki and mikan, tell them to cut it. you werre the only one to tell me you were voting makoto and i appreciate that. if you're willing to reconsider and vote kore or even yasu, i'd be happy to hear about it. but i don't think that's the case.

in a vacuum where only I voted i'd consider voting for someone else for a little bit and then decide against it

in context I just vote for you since it makes everyone happy including me ^^

Yeah I guess next time just take it easy a bit more, the sudden flip off makoto without any discussion spooked everybody and gave everyone the shivers about you

Yeah, I'm open to that vote too, but I prefer Hiyoko, OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!! I'll let you know and so will she I assume if the vote does end up being Yasu. But I really hope it isn't ~_~

Sorry if I kind of made Ibuki look suspicious to you. We communicated really well on the gold tribe about flipping a vote from Kyoko onto Gonta, and so she's probably just looking for a sanity check kind of thing by running her plan past me first. I don't think she's actually doing anything suspicious but I can understand how you feel.

She's currently telling me that I'm the person she "hates" most. She said to me that if she had an idol she'd use it to vote me out. You'd be amazed at how "toxic" but not toxic our conversation is right now

I agree with all of your points on why Korekiyo is bad for us in the long term, and I think we should focus on voting him out right after Hiyoko. I saw your points there and I did even ask if he was a mod account for trolling when he posted that stuff in the dining hall lol. ( i think that was in the clique thread) I don't think she'll poison the jury against /us/, probably just me... since she said to me "i know 2 people who aren't getting each other's jury votes" lol.

So yeah.

Option A involves voting out Korekiyo now and keeping Hiyoko to work with her and her connections. The problem with this being that she does not want to work with me and has made that clear. So we still have a 1v1 going into merge which would probably end up killing both me and Hiyoko.

Option B involves voting out Hiyoko now since she's really bad for me, Korekiyo who is with us in the short term, and maybe you too by extension. If the merge happens tomorrow, that's fine, we come out of the gate guns blazing to vote out Korekiyo immediately.

You're overestimating her connections, by the way. Nagito Komeda won't want to align with her because he's already wary of her because she targeted him to me behind his back before on the Kingpins.

Oh and what is your source on "Hiyoko and Kyoko have a really good connection"? Kyoko made the majority alliance on Kingpins such that it seemed like Hiyoko was the head, but she controlled it behind the scenes with Celeste. If your source is Hiyoko, that's just her falling for the bait hook like and sinker.

I know we're good with communication and we can tell each other all that we're thinking, so I think I really need to emphasize how my relationship with Hiyoko is so bad and how it got this way.

I was honest with Yasuhiro and Hiyoko, I told the two of them that I wanted to vote for Makoto. Like an "oh well, we have opposing interests this time, not the end of the world either way" kind of thing. I wanted to apologize to Makoto too, but I didn't since I knew it might leak information. I told him this and he appreciated it.

Yasu responded well, he was like "eh oh well maybe next time, I understand where you're coming from.", so there was no tension or hard feelings. When the vote didn't go his way, he felt a bit unsafe but we were still on good terms. We don't see each other as enemies, just friends with different interests at the moment. We had a bit of a misunderstanding where he misinterpreted something I said as "i dont want to work with you" but we cleared it up, it was actually a complement for him ^^. I think he is the person we need to be looking for to work with moving forward instead of Hiyoko. He admitted himself that Hiyoko leaving is not the worst thing for him, and he is in fact loyal to the end to her even though it's obvious that he's going out. If we stay in tribes after this and we lose again, we gain Yasuhiro's trust by voting out Korekiyo, and the 5 of us are all on good terms and we're all reasonable people that can communicate well. Mikan really likes you too, so we've got good connections there.

Hiyoko responded very badly to what I told her, we became quite tense. She then went and raged in public areas after the vote didn't go her way. You do bring up that Korekiyo is making a bad public image for herself, and that's quite true and we should deal with it accordingly, but I think Hiyoko is doing the same thing and it's going to hurt her ability to make connections that are good for her and us after the merge, in addition to what I already brought up about her existing relationships that aren't as strong as she thinks. I told her what I thought of her raging at not getting her way in hopes that she'd realize she made a mistake (kind of like Korekiyo outing our clique in public? When I thought he was a mod-controlled troll account?) but she reacted very badly to this and our conversation has since devolved into her throwing (empty?) threats and I respond where as little as I can. It's like I'm talking to a navy seals internet tough guy copypasta at this point and I don't want to respond anymore. If you do ultimately decide that you want us to vote to keep her, keep in mind that it's not only my personal "vendetta" with Hiyoko that affects you. Even if I suddenly vanish from the game right after Korekiyo, and it's just you we're talking about, you better not disagree with her on anything, because she does not communicate well, she doesn't handle minor conflict well, and you will likely find a knife in your back if you ever come to her to pitch a plan you're not 100% on, instead of an open channel to discuss strategies and brainstorm with.

Hiyoko and Korekiyo, in my opinion and experience, have similar undesirable qualities. What sets them apart for me is that one of them currently hates my guts and talks to me like the an angry kid on call of duty stereotype, and one of them is currently loyal to me and us, and we can cut him at our own leisure, knowing that he doesn't have the connections to open up the option of cutting us first.
