I'll give a rundown of the players remaining but the important thing is that I made merge!!!
13 players - 11 jurors? Final 2
It could be 10 jurors final 3 and I would actually expect that as this game has been massive.
So my current position is not terrible. Ibuki is a player and will probably not be able to sit still for long. I expect her to be targeted or even taken out via an item. Cele is supposedly a very good player so I'll see where all that is coming from pretty soon.
Saya isn't as bad as I thought and people seem to like her although I'm still kind of amazed by that fact.
My goals right now are to gather information on the new people and see who trusts who. Meanwhile, I need to try and solidify myself with at least 2 people, preferably 3 or 4 that trust me unconditionally. Akane is one of my targets as she is a challenge threat or at least labeled as one making her a decent partner and shield for early merge. I'm going to try and win her over with the idol clue in hopes that she can figure it out. The thing is useless in my hands and eventually people will figure out how to open that thread because internet people are persistent and much smarter then me.
Why couldn't it just straight up be an idol Ugh...
My second target is probably Yasuhiro as he is a paranoid freak and I need him to trust me. I don't want him turning on me as a preemptive strike or something.

I wouldn't have been able to find it without Akane who discovered the other clue on MS. Sucks I couldn't just figure it out on my own but whatever, I'll take what I can get. Now Akane knows I have it and I have two options.
1.) Blindside her somehow so I don't have to worry about her knowing. 2.) Take her as far as I can. I'm willing to use the Idol to help protect her with this option if it means she trusts me more.
I'm sure this shoots my stock way up but I'm also so positive that I'm not the only one with an item like this. Although... the fact that I got a clue instead of info on other idols might mean people haven't found certain idols that were meant to be found.
Idk, I can't read too much into it. Thanks Leon, this is for you bb.

Things are moving!
We are all in the "welcoming" stage of the merge where we feel each other out and try to see who is willing to vote who. Names are NOT being dropped really at all.... There is a little bit of speculation like Chihiro asking about Akane but other then that, people just aren't doing anything risky.
There are some good players here if they are aware enough that first move means putting yourself at risk. If nothing gets decided, then Ex-Futures will just band together on an easy target, possibly Hiyoko or Akane.
If they pick Akane, I will very likely just let her die. Yeah, I probably lose that Jury vote but now I have an idol and getting to the end is more important right now.
Chihiro/Saya have essentially offered me an alliance so that's a good start. Shui will probably be included in that and maybe Yasu eventually? I only say Yasu because he told me Saya is talking good about me. If we all have similar friends, why not vote together? That would be 5 and that's probably enough to influence votes? We don't need a majority, we just need to make sure the majority isn't against us.

Monaca is so happy you made final merge! As a result, you are a top contender to be part of the warriors of hope yaaay! More questions though! 1. What's got you feeling paranoid lately? And if you're not paranoid, why are you so cocky? 2. What is by far the strangest thing someone has told you this game? Have you been able to use this info somehow or did it just leave you completely baffled? 3. Are you worried about where you fall on alliance lines? If so, are you planning to switch things up to work in your favor? If not, how long do you think your alliance will last? 4. Do you suspect anyone of lying to you currently? Who and what? 5. Does Gundham winning the first immunity affect your plans? Is there anyone else who you would rather see not win immunity? 6. Is there anyone in game who isn't immune that you couldn't fathom being the next person voted out? Why do you feel this way about them? That's all for now. Until next time.

Whatcha doing here Monaca? Think you can just pop into my confessional whenever you want ehhh?
EHH????
Well you can... *Ahem*
This Saya drama revolves around Saya spreading misinformation about Celes wanting to vote out Akane and visa versa. Meanwhile, she tried to find enough people willing to vote out Ibuki for a blindside. You know... this doesn't surprise me much. Saya had a weird way of looking at the game and planning things out when she voted out Sonia and the only reason I'm not more upset at her, is because I could tell she genuinely wanted to work with me.
This turnout is pretty damn good for me... it shows who is willing to work with Celes and draws a line in the ground. I want to know every name that Celes talked to to try and counter push Saya because I certainly wasn't one of them. It also shows that Nagito isn't high on anyone's friend list and could be and easy push later.
Meanwhile, Saya will go home and she leaves thinking I was a friend so jury management, this is solid.

Celes - Kyoko - Gundham Saya - Chihiro - Shui
I want to say that the division in this game will be between those names. Saya got in some serious trouble this round when she apparently spread false rumors that Celes and Akane we targeting each other. Naturally, Saya denies it and claims Akane was making things up to get Saya in trouble.
Still, despite all that... people are worried about Ibuki and willing to vote her out. It's strange because that act like they are indifferent, with the exception of Chihiro/Saya, yet if they truely didn't care, why is Saya getting away with what she did?
Was it all just smoke and mirrors?
I understand that Ibuki is a good player but not good enough for a majority target like this. I think something else is happening here and I'm not sure what.
Akane just finally gave up but we fought for a little bit trying to get numbers against Saya instead. It's hard to do that and not feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot though. Saya will most certainly target me if she finds out I'm pushing her name and I don't think I can play it off as, "respect for Ibuki." I'll probably deny the vote since only Akane knows where I am placing mine. I have to hope that Akane isn't targeted next round because using the idol on her already would be terrible.

What up.
So winning immunity is good. Few things that happened so far:
*Saya tries to get a majority but we have basically everyone in it minus (Celest, Gundy, Kyoko, Nagito) *Yasu decides to fake an argument with me in the main thread to... idk... fake we aren't so close? *Celest gets nominated as a vote. *Hiyoko spreads that I don't want to vote out Celest and would prefer Gundy for some reason. I quickly have to correct her that I don't care who goes out of Celest,Gundy, Kyoko. *Celest messages Chihiro/Yasu stating that I leaked the vote is on her and gives a list of names.
The current state of the game is me shrugging as I haven't leaked shit meanwhile, Akane is a little panicked thinking I'm in trouble. Yasu doesn't seem to believe me at all and assumes I did leak... Chihiro might believe me but seems disappointed. I warned Saya already that Celest is lying. Meanwhile, Celest asks me if I know anything about a vote against her a.k.a. I didn't leak.
It's a clever play by her but I do actually believe someone is leaking the vote. All good, I knew it would happen and the best I can do is tell people to calm the fuck down. The vote can't flip to me this round anyways. Just vote fucking Celest and be done with it.
I have a sneaking suspicion that won't happen though if someone on the team really is leaking info to screw over this vote.

Hellooo!!! I am Monaaaccaaaaaaaa!!!! One of you has accepted the offer to become a Warrior of Hope! Praise Junko!!! You are so close to the end, yet so far. How many more of you will I offer a spot to? Let's find out! 1. Does your winning immunity change how you were planning to handle this tribal? If so, what were you planning prior? If not, do you have an idea how the current vote is going to go? 2. Are you starting to form thoughts about not only how to get to the end, but who to go with? If so, who and how? If not, what is your plan? 3. Who do you feel has the most influence in game right now? 4. Do you see this game as more alliance driven or are voting blocks (aka small groups of people) forming to vote whichever way is convenient? Have you identified any of these alliances or blocks? Feel free to let the specs know ^_^ 5. Are you starting to think, oh god I really could win this? Or are you still paranoid as fuck? 6. Do you feel safe currently? That's all for now, stay tuned for more interview questions! And remember, death to all adults!!!

I'll reply to you soon Towa. [img src=" i.imgur.com/df9X6F4.png" alt="" style="max-width:100%;" src=""] This is an example of how people overplay. I'm just not sure why you need to go through all the extra bullshit. I know there is lots of stuff happening this round and people are talking and making plans and yada yada... this plan is stupid. We should just vote out people we can't trust which there are plenty of. I'm not voting Saya, fuck off. She has no reason to vote me and I'm not taking out another friend for a fancy blindside next round. Just vote out Hiyoko now if you want to do that or stick with the plan and take out Celest so she doesn't get away with more spicy leak plays to distract us.
On the plus side, Celest will NOT feel safe this round so no matter what happens, its likely she plays an item if she has one.

It's interesting how survivor develops. Every Merge I've been to feels different and this one is no exception... the theme of this game is to spread as many lies as you can to throw people off your trail.
Celest manages to push votes off her just by spreading a lot of "he said, she said."
Meanwhile I have Yasu lying to my face about what he wants and has already proved he is a schemer with his public thread shenanigans. I thought it was a stupid play... fake an argument? Aight, I'll show you how to use that properly. I just told Kyoko you were pushing her name (which is true) and now I'm pinning it on the fact that you called me out for cheating. She has every right to believe me and if she is as close to Celest as I assume she is, then this will get back to Celest as well.
I expect Yas will find out but I already assume Hiyoko/Yas don't have my best interest at heart here.
My goal is to just keep Akane mellow and not make any more stupid plans that involve us being bait and to also protect Saya. If I lose her, I lose a core piece of an alliance that can keep me safe.

Whose even left in the game at this point?
Clesest - A powerhouse player who everyone acknowledges as a ringleader. She doesn't want all the attention but too bad, you got labeled a threat and get the luxury of winning the game if you can reach the end but come on... you won't reach the end.
She has opened up to me several times and we are being... cordial but I think she nervous about me. We had this awkward stand off last round where she knew the vote was going to be against her and was framing me thanks to Hiyoko's wishes. So when she asked me, "Is there a vote against me?" My response is, "You already know more then me." We just danced around the fact that both of us already knew what the other one knew but didn't want to say anything.
Gundy - I don't get much out of this guy and frankly don't understand why people like him. I'm probably not giving him much of a chance because I need to have a target somewhere. He is close with Celest and won't vote her and is apart of what is now being called, the "Greys." If I wont HoH, I would put him against Hiyoko but it sort of shows my hand which sucks.
Kyoko - The final member of the Greys and probably the one who trusts me the most. So long as 2/3rds of the members like me, I won't go home right? I don't care if Kyoko goes and she is rather lack luster anyways... but I have to pretend to like her until we can weaken that alliance. That means I can't nominate her or even encourage a nomination of her in case it leaks.
Saya - I just have to keep her in as long as possible lol. Everyone knows I won't vote Saya just like Kyoko won't vote Celest. I need to have someone like this here to take the heat for me and stall the game. The Idol is my last ditch effort to hurt the greys if Saya can't manage to do it. Once the Idol is played tho, I'm just out of options and people will probably recognize me as a threat. (if they haven't already)
Akane - The idol buddy.... I'm glad i got it over her and it has helped us become closer as we are willing to talk strategy openly with each other. Without trust, we just wouldn't make it holding the idol together. Still, part of me wants Akane gone so I don't have to worry about her needing my idol for something stupid. Hmm... this round could be a good chance to do that as you can't use idols to save yourself. Would be such a waste to use the BB round on that though when it could just hurt the Greys alliance so much more.
Nagito - I've been told by several people that Nagito likes me and feels like I'm honest with him so this is a good place to venture out new allies. Shui is close with him so maybe once Saya is gone, I can create a new 3s with that group and still hold Akane in my back pocket.
Shui - Might as well talk about this bro next... he has quite the story similar to mine so it would be funny taking him to the end. I think he was just comfortable using Saya's alliance to get farther into the game just like me. I hope he doesn't have some nefarious plan to eliminate me.
Hiyoko - Whatever. She made a stupid decision and now I have an enemy that no one will blame me for targeting. I have no idea what was going through her head... maybe she thought it would help her get closer to Celest?
Yasu - I don't trust him anymore. He is paranoid and over-exaggerates everything.

About to do this Veto Challenge and I'll put my best effort into it despite everyone telling me I'm safe this round.
I've been nominated during the big brother round by Kyoko which is... awkward. I do think I'm be considered a bit of a goat by the Greys and they probably aren't super threatened by me. Kyoko was willing to put me in despite wanting Yasu to be the guy who takes the fall means she thinks I hold sway over enough people to save me over him. But come on... you could have put anyone aside for Hiyoko or Saya and got the same result. The fact that she is using me essentially as bait is annoying and she deserves to feel threatened by me now.
All this round does for me (positively) is that it gives me a reason to distrust the Greys more so basically just adds to my story. I suppose it could be used to help show the game is being run by 3 people but that's still a stretch.
Yasu seems to have given up a little which doesn't surprise me. The guy has a negative vibe about him anytime he feels threatened. He just doesn't handle pressure well.... He still feels confident enough to challenge Hiyoko and wants her out, probably to help cut ties and get back in close with other people.

I'm happy.
Greys - (Celest/Kyoko/Gundy) are going to be targeted soon I think. This largely depends on Shui and what direction he leans. People are associating him with Nagito which if true, means he holds a swing vote sway. I'm paired with Akane but probably get rocongized as being paired with Saya more then anything. Yasu really had just given up and while he apparently wants to win still, he just isn't here only for that. It's a weird policy as I'm certainly here to win.
If Yasu's apathy is any indication, I don't need to worry as much about him targeting me. It would be a pretty clever ploy but also... rather stupid as people don't want him around anymore.
I expect this round Hiyoko goes which is great for me. She fucked up and put blame on me and now I have a valid reason to want her gone without seeming like I'm taking control of things. Yasu could go next or maybe we finally unite and take out Celest. I doubt 2 greys would go in a row but who knows. I would rather split the vote when we target a grey.... I personally feel in danger from an idol play at this point.

Hiyoko, thank you!!!
I'm not on the list of "threats" so maybe I wouldn't get idoled off after all. I do think Shui is a better idol target but who knows.

Annoying but not unmanageable. Are people going to continue to be assholes and not vote out hiyoko here? I hate how people get in the mid game of a Merge where they look at a vote and say, "thats too easy, lets take out this person instead." What the fuck is wrong with easy? You have to take the easy vote eventually or you end up with a finale filled with idiots and losers that no one wants to vote.

Part of me can't help but wonder how off base I am.
This game hasn't lasted a long time and I'm losing touch a bit on how I should be playing... I think I'm trying to rush it and see how it ends but this is by far the most important stage so maybe I need to slow my roll and put forth effort into these conversations.
I've sort of left the greys to their own devices and haven't really pressured them much on votes or what to do. Originally I did that to not seem threatening... I don't want them to target me because with the level of apathy going around, it's entirely possible people just shrug and go along with it.
Seeing Yasu leave also made me think...
Is Saya actually against the Greys? Could it be that she voted Yasu and that she actually has a decent rep with Celest? If so... could she prove that in an end game scenario? Her posts are so out there as if she is trying to convince herself she is upset. She came out of this tribal instantly accusing Akane and just making all sorts of assumptions which, granted... she has done in the past. I think she is most likely just a misguided player and that's what makes her an easy boot but someone did fuck up this last round so who?
Shui? There is a small part of me that has this conspiracy theory about Saya being close to the greys especially since we haven't actually had a close vote where Saya would have left... first boot was pretty obviously Ibuki, second vote was canceled, and third vote was BB which Kyoko refused to put Saya up because she could be "eliminated at any time." Man I hate that phrase... fuck you dude, do it now while you still can! There will always be someone else to take over the mantle of "threat" but if you don't get rid of goats, then you could endanger your own game to be overrun by them.

It's the Monokuma file!
1. Who is your next target, and how do you plan on getting them out? 2. Did the big brother round work in your favor or throw a spanner in the works for you? 3. If the jury was just the four current members casting their vote to win among everyone still in the game, who would win, and does that concern you? 4. Do you know if any items are in the game and where they are? 5. Who is the mole?

Post by Mikan Tsumiki on Sept 24, 2018 2:07:09 GMT
Oh you gave me questions... mmm maybe later? Here is a post I sent to Akane:
You are more then welcome to send me long PMs In fact, I'm going to give you Mikan's Personal Breakdown!!!!
Saya - I'm worried she might be closer to the Losers then people think. It's a conspiracy theory but technically the losers haven't actually targeted her yet and while Saya stirred up drama that first round... it didn't seem to really do any harm to her and Celest wasn't pushing the vote that much. More then likely, she wants them gone though and I have to assume that's what she will do. Anything other then that and it really really hurts our odds of winning as numbers are sparce as it is. I'm annoyed that the Saya vs Celest thing turned into...
How does Saya stay alive? It's like the other team is so much more committed to each other then any other group that tries to form.
Shui - Super nervous here too.... more so then I am with Saya as with her, I've just come to accept that I have to trust her and will just have to hope she doesn't screw me. Shui, however, has shown that he can have multiple connections at this point with Nagito/Gundy/Hiyoko (before he admitted voting her)/Saya/Myself... yeah he kind has been all over the place and it's obvious to me he wants to keep his options open which brings me too....
Nagito - He is in the same realm of playing both sides that Shui is except I think he has less obligations towards Saya/myself and I'm wondering when he will actually try to make his own move. I could see him just trying to coast to endgame and easily getting there but not winning because he is just... idk, bland? But if he realizes that, he will almost certainly make a play somewhere. I just hope that play isn't after something like an Idol play from us because then he might think we should be the target. Although even after we play that idol, people still might not realizes we are that close.
Hiyoko - Who cares? She is already in bitter jury mode so people have a valid reason to not like her. The only reason anyone would want her in is because she seems like she will target certain people... she won't go after a grey, thats for damn sure.
Kyoko - I wish I could find a way to get more out of her. I haven't gotten a "I owe you one" before so maybe I can call in that favor and ask for a Hiyoko vote? I want to push her this round into being a little more friendly with me just like you have gotten Celest to be on your side. She just isn't a super talkative person :/ She did manage to get Yasu out though after she found out Yasu was somewhat pushing her name the round before.
Gundy - Scary boi. He seems to be well liked and is a challenge threat... how do we get rid of him? Shui/Saya have both mentioned on several occasions that they feel most connected to him yet I get nothing worthwhile from our conversations. I think most of that is on me but why should we get close when we know we are on opposite sides of the game? If I could idol out someone, I would pick this guy.
Celest - The obvious winner right? If the game were to end right now, who would win? I would assume Celest because she has this "ringleader" title with the greys and is playing the field. Everyone likes her at least some despite that we all know she is a threat to win but we don't know how to deal with her. Does she really just coast to the end of the game? We could Idol her sure... but then Gundy probably wins lol.

Do you know if any items are in the game and where they are? 5. Who is the mole? 1.) Hiyoko. By bitching and moaning to everyone. Nah, I'm being pretty straightforward though. I don't believe anyone deserves to go out before Hiyoko at this point. 2.) It could have been awesome but instead... was kinda lame. I suppose it's neat that Yasu went because why the fuck did that happen. Kyoko gets some bonus cred for saying "I want Yasu out." And somehow it happened... regardless of how, she deserves the credit there especially since whoever swapped votes isn't coming forward. I can't wait to figure out that reasoning. 3.) I could do it! Yasu - Likes me Ibuki - Likes me Chihiro - Likes me Korekiyo - at least knows who I am 4.) I have no idea other then my idol. I'm pretty nervous about them.....

I like that everyone is either new or pretending to be new in this game lol.
Also if Hiyoko has an idol and I get blindsided, I'm gonna be pissed. I feel so good about my chances to win this game and some bullshit item will end up getting me even thought I finally have a bullshit item lol.
I'm hoping having Akane will counter any blindside on me and I'm really playing up that I don't trust her too much.

Hey Celest!!!!
Here is what I currently think about you.
I think you are a strong player who is probably not as new as you actually say but it would be cool if I was wrong because you seem to create genuine connections with people. I really do like you as a player and would have LOVED to be apart of your team (Losers) because you seem like a good person to hide behind. I think you are getting undue credit which is a double edged sword.
It's the type of thing you need late game to get those good good jury votes but when you get it early merge, it makes it so much harder to reach the end. I will not go to Final 3 with you if I can help it. It's nothing personal but I do play to win and want to win... If I play against you, then I don't think I win because of said "double edged sword." You are labeled a threat and I actually think you know a bit more then what you let on.
You also probably exaggerate how much influence you have. You keep saying things are out of your control but I assume you only say that too push eyes off you... it won't work lol. I do like you though and consider you a nemesis of sorts.
Well played so far!!!
