Okay, Demon says this about my "nudging" her to give Flum the white rock:
"@balki you said "are you giving Flum the rock" and expressed that I should. I was already going to do it, I was waiting for Flums response"
I have the transcript. I think that reading this is a great illustration of the way I played the game, and the way I was "nudging" so much of what happened. I hope that people who are undecided will read this transcript and not rely on Demon's paraphrase:
CONVERSATION OF BALKI AND DEMON:
Balki: “Soooo...have you been soul searching about this white rock?”
Demon: “What do you think I should do about the white rock? Just keep it?”
Balki: “I don't really want to give you advice on the white rock. I'd like to know what YOU decide to do with it”
Demon: “Why not”
Balki: “Well...I'm counting on you to live up to your word with me. I'd really like you to make it to jury, and I'd like you to plan to make a pitch like this one:
‘I played an honest and loyal game. And when I made a promise to someone, I kept it. That's why I didn't need to win a bunch of immunities, and that's why I never received a single vote for the entire game. Because people knew that they could trust me.’”
Balki: “And so I guess I'm just sort of observing this white rock agreement with interest, and trying to figure whether I can count on a deal that I make with you too. Too much honesty?”
Demon: “No that's good. I'm literally waiting on Flum, he said he might not want it.”
Balki: “So, I'm going to explain my situation is exquisite detail: I'd like you to keep it between you and me. Flum and Snowy want to vote out ghug. You and ghug want to vote out Snowy. I made a final three deal with you and ghug, and I intend to honor that agreement. But I am observing the white rock deal, because I'd like to feel confident that you intend to honor that agreement too. Also, I'd like to make one other deal with you.
Demon: “I trust that you'll vote with us. Ah. Which is what?”
Balki: I think there will be an immunity challenge next round. If any of you, me, or ghug wins, we are all in great shape. We all vote together and we make it to final 3. So what if Flum wins immunity? You and I made what I'm quite sure was the very first agreement that anyone made in the game. A final 3 deal, back at the very start of Entente. And I am hoping, in that unlikely eventuality, of Flum immunity, that you will honor that very first deal, and form a voting bloc with me, to vote out ghug, and join me in the final 3. 75% of the time, you, me, or ghug wins immunity, and we don't have to worry about that. But I'd like for us both to be assured of making the final 3 no matter what. And this deal does that for both of us. And then I can relax during my trip to the San Juans, and you can relax during your regular old 2-day weekend.
Demon: “Hm, interesting. Ok, if it comes down to that - if you have my back, I'll have yours. We'll need Floom's help as well... If he gets white rock he'll happily let any of us die at random.”
IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, BALKI GOES TO FLUM:
Balki: “I spoke with Demon. She said that she was waiting to hear from you about whether you want the white rock. I think you should tell her that you want it, and then provided that she gives it to you, we should vote out Snowy.”
Flum: “Ok, I'll try to get the white rock more aggressively. I was hoping she'd just give it to me.”
