I suppose the main benefit of not using it immediately is we still have the option of trading our streak in for a kill if a kill seems like it would be more useful later in the game. Also we could wait to assign it to the next one of us to go up for interrogation, as you'd expect them to be more in danger due to the points up for grabs, although the power then gets wasted if they end up being one of the weekend lynches. Any thoughts?

I think we should run a save incase one of us dies tomorrow.

One of you at least is definitely dying tomorrow because Cuttooth has safety.

Isn't their 4 people up? Jenuall should be voted to death so we should be able to live.

Yeah but two people get killed

ah strawberry float.

Pro-Village are going to be trying to split the votes between the two of you so that we lose two players, Drumstick already alluded to the idea in a PM to me. I suspect he may have figured out that I'm not Red Tribe now though as he has not messaged me today

If they manage to make an alliance with Red Tribe it will potentially be:

Jenuall - 6 votes from us (assuming we all vote!)
Karl - 5 votes (3 PV and 2 RT)
Qikz - 5 votes (3 PV and 2 RT)

So it will all be dependent on TYEM. Hopefully aayl is true to his word and has both voted Jenuall and has made the case to the rest of TYEM to vote that way, although rumours are their tribe is a bit disjointed at present so who knows what they will end up doing.

Bear in mind we can't know 100% that Aaron even is in TYEM. It makes a lot of sense and it would be very weird for him to be in another Tribe, but we can only know it 99% until he's interrogated.

(That doesn't undermine your analysis in any way but it's worth always being aware of it!)

Yeah, that's a good point and we shouldn't take any allegiances for granted if they haven't been confirmed in thread (or by deduction).

If we think we will only lose one then a save isn't the right move as we might miss use it. But at this stage of the game, saves are more valuable than kills because they are cheaper and keep you alive if shot.

At the end of the game, when we have enough kills to get dominance, we need to be going on a killing spree.

But here is the end game issue - less tribemates means more post streaks, so saves and kills are more plentiful, and more people to protect is harder as there are more of us.

In some regards, we are more likely kill targets as we have too many people to cover off with powers and very few of them. Actually, I think we are late to the meta on this. If PV and TYEM have worked this out then their best play is to take the periphery players on each other's tribe out now before their stored saves become effective, get a player lead Vs the others and then beat us down in thread to keep our saves used up before they go gung-ho at the end.

Meanwhile, RT stay quiet and under the radar and rack up powers for their own shootout. They are probably too protected now to take shots at.

There is going to be a Mexican standoff turned shootout to finish this game, isn't there!? So are we going to be pulling triggers or hiding behind furniture? Those that hide usually come out best in those scenarios.

...

Well I have at least talked myself into saving our powers to the late game at least! Maybe saves are the right call at that point?

If I die, don't worry about me. I'll either be with Ironhide in heaven, or OrangeRKN in hell.

Good luck everyone.

rip karl wiv da angles now xx

Who is the target for tomorrow then?

Voting for Aaron, but only because I don't want to vote DML :/

I've gotten a couple of PMs from folk wanting to get info so I'm gonna try play this to not give anything away while gleaning info from their tribes. I'll try see who they're targeting and steer them away from any of our Tribe.

That's not going to work, everyone already knows who we are. We pretty much know who everyone else is as well.

There's no point even replying to those messages anymore imo.

Same. Only thing is knowing who is going to vote where.

I don't think it's necessarily pointless to engage in PMing other tribes, it just wouldn't be for the purposes of gaining info and instead to form voting blocs. If we teamed up with aayl1 for example and all voted one way then neither DML or aayl have to go up today.

True, but it is very late in the cycle today to throw the vote somewhere else, with confidence.

Yeah very true it would be risky. That's essentially how the game is going to go from here on out though I think, with dodgy dealings being made via PMs and so I don't think it's wise for us to not engage with that at all.

I'm voting for aayl, if he really did strawberry float over Karl he's double dead to me. He strawberry floated me over out of the victory in that other game on the last day as well.
