Round 7: The Merge

[Brandon]

Fuck yeah. The merge. Okay, this is gonna be a clusterfuck of a round that determines how the next few, if not the whole game, will play out. Now, the four main factions are the original Wuyi, the original Huaiyu, NuWuyi, and, NuHuaiyu. The lines are definitely blurred between them. For example, Fabio and I are together. RC, PG, and I are together. Sierra, Reynold, and now Malcolm are together. I FINALLY got to re-connect with Fabio after 2 whole rounds, and it was a sweet, sweet reunion. We immediately begin sharing everything that happened on each side, so I learned Lindsay is batshit crazy and he learned Chris tried to throw me under the bus after I tried to help his ass. Now, he let me know that Malcolm is with Sierra, and he thinks it's a pre-game alliance. Sierra, while being an amazing human being, frequently pre-games because she has fans who desperately want to play with her, so Malcolm is an easy choice. He's 1. An original Huaiyu, 2. A NuWuyi, 3. A member of a power trio that I'm not in, and 4. He is pre-gaming. Lol get rekt you scrub. 

Figuring out who to work with from here will be interesting. I know I have PG and Fabio, and I think RC/Marty are also on board as well. I have no clue where Sonja, Andrea, Todd, and Tyson are. Sierra and Reynold don't know that Fabs and I are gonna be targeting their friend Malcolm, so I think they're gonna try and press me into Sierra's Royal Goonsquad. Fuck that noise, I don't wanna be a goon. I wanna be the goon. If I'm gonna do grunt work, I want to be a part of a union and have some rights. Sierra running anything would devolve into murder threats and "xd"ing everywhere, which sounds amazing to watch. Now, being a part of it, that isn't fun. That sucks. You have to get pushed around by an angry Polish woman who has a surprisingly up to date knowledge on American pop culture. 

That aside, this round should be a whole lot of fun. I don't see how I would be a target, because there are bigger personalities/larger threats to take out. My wishlist for this round is:

1. Don't go home.

2. Fabio/PG don't go home.

3. I vote in the majority.

That foolproof three-step plan will help propel me through the game, and hopefully at least to mid-merge. Then I'll go absolutely insane.

I'll put a few tokens on Sierra, make her look like a threat.

My ideas for a merge tribe name were Bellinger, Merge, and Zedong. Nobody liked them, except for Todd. Thanks Todd.

Sierra's already gone to her normal agenda of strongarming people into what she wants to do. She threw Andrea and Marty's names out there, so RC and Fabio had to talk her down to settle on Sonja. Sonja is nice, but she's inactive at this point, so might as well boot her. My big concern is Sierra's targets are people she hasn't had any interaction with at all, and she refuses to target Malcolm/Tyson (as per Fabz and RC), so she might just be looking to pick off my side one-by-one. No thank you. I like being in the game. So, for this reason, PG and I have plans on gunning for Sierra or Malcolm. Malcolm hasn't been online at all, so targeting him seems easy minus the Sierra hurdle. If we can take him out and even the numbers a bit, that would be greeeeeat.
