Big Deal Game/Confessionals

- ALEX SURVIVED FUCKING FUCK YES WOOOOOOO <3 I'm so happy right now! Alex is the one I'm probably closest with in game and he said he only talks to me and Maddie, so yay I have a guaranteed friend! I never really talked to Jorge so I'm not fussed that he's gone. I'm surprised he left as early as he did. I kind of expected him to wipe the floor against Alex but luckily Alex prevailed! I feel I'm in a decent position right now. All I need to do is make sure Dean leaves.

- lol, at the last round i'm probably planning to propose a trade to all the others and ask for something in return and 2[maybe 3] of them wont get anything in return while hopefully getting 3 colors from the other 3

idk if it will work but ill see

and it might rub people the wrong way

i could also "not trade" and just keep the 5 points and they wont know any wiser

idk, im just putting out my thoughts 😛

This round however, im planning on staying truthful so they can hopefully continue giving me/wendy points for 3rd and 4th round.

Though I'm not too close to wendy, havent talked to her at all until this MM, idk if she would be interested in doing something like this.

But Im glad its wendy, and not nadine/hedger, those two wouldnt want to work with me

- okay time to explain blake's lot from last time and why he lowkey started trash talking me to basically everyone ie morgan and dean told me that he did. so blake's lot includes all the colors and lowkey there is NO reason for me to accept ANY deal from him because it will never benefit me. i mean, i guess technically it could but there's also no reason why blake would do that since that would mean giving two colors to me and hedger. so yeah, not gonna happen.

but anyway, on the pretense of being social, i still talk to blake about his lot and he asks me what i would give him ie the lowest points i would receive for my cubes. interesting, okay, not asking hedger then for whatever reason? whatever, i can deal with. i say 4 for green, 3 for white. why the different numbers? because well, i didn't really think that i would win but i knew that my green was more valuable because dean and i shared a white. so yeah, long thought process on which one blake would want more and differed it by one point. profound.

the deal comes around, and i see it late because i was out. huh, it says that blake gave me 3 for my green. i have no idea why he would do that so i respond to blake's pleas on me to hurry up and accept the deal (apparently he also badgered hedger about it) and reject it because that's not what the deal was :shrug: then blake basically explodes on me with confusion, all the while still trying to be nice about it. i play dumb and stubborn about it, the latter which is probably real, and say 'oh no! can't change a decision about a deal after it gets rejected!' (so i thought you could reject a deal that's been accepted, but can't reject a deal that's been rejected. my screenshot with my dirty play that wouldn't have ended up working anyway confirms the thought btw). but yeah, blake gets pissy about it and i'm just wondering why because i literally said that the lowest i would accept for my green was a four. not my problem. luckily for him (and unfortunately for him), all the people in the deal are online.

but as i said, this deal was not favorable for me in anyway and it's only because i believed i couldn't win anyway that i accepted (although i guess it didn't really work out for me socially since blake still dislikes me now). but why? in case you guys don't want to think about it and because i like talking about my thoughts, i'll explain (although maybe this will confirm that i don't know what i'm talking about, which is fair). basically, the deal propose was blake (7), dean (5), wendy (5), morgan (4), maddie (4). if the deal fails, only blake gets five points. so, seemingly obviously, don't i want four points? no. flat out no. this deal benefits blake's team and morgan's team and it's like obvious. blake gets 12 points, wendy's team gets 9 points, and i get 4 points. blake's team gets 8 more points than i do. so unless i was trying to escape the last place spot, which unfortunately or fortunately was no contest, then this deal does not benefit me. i am giving blake more points than if the deal fails, which is also why it would have been fun if no one knew who their team members was! but alas, becuz i figured i lost anyway, i accepted it.
