Also "So. Status Update. To all my fans and cheerleaders who may be reading, let me take you into the mind of the great Hellenic Riot. A dangerous place to be, so back out now if you don't have the temerity.
The peterlund ploy worked to perfection. Chaqa is busy thinking about bluffs and double bluffs and triple bluffs, rather than looking at peterlund's earlier (quite good) case on me. MoscowFleet may have correctly predicted my future WIFOM argument that that's a noobish thing to do - so I'll use it anyway! Even more WIFOM! Now I can argue that I'd never make that argument as scum because he'd already said it. Or would I? Hmm, perhaps not. Who knows? At least my hair is on fleek.
Now, Chaqa thinks it's Ezio. I think Ezio can be lynched. But I don't want Ezio lynched, no. I think in a 1v1 at Lylo with Balduran I might have a tough time as they'd have their doubts on me. So what do I want? I want Balduran lynched now! But, slowly slowly. First, I want Chaqa to make a case on Ezio as he is planning. I want Chaqa to convince himself that Ezio is scum - and then I want to get Balduran lynched. And then, Chaqa, in his bid to claim MVP, shall jump out like a jack-in-the-box, exclaiming "I TOLD YOU SO", and smugly nailing that dastardly evil scumlord Ezio. I, humble and modest as ever, shall have to go "Oh, my, Chaqa, you were right", in a convincing manner of course.
BUT, I hear you cry, what of the others? Ah! A pantomime villain such as myself can see your cries of "HE'S BEHIND YOU" coming and shall dodge with great skill and aptitude. There are, as you shout, 4 other players in this game (well, 5, but Tom won't be for long). Ikaneko also wants Ezio, so that's two I'll need to convince. Balduran, I suspect, wants me, so I shall have to do something about that. I feel like really winding him up is the ideal solution - I shall recreate the town vs town battle I had with Fluminator last game - and make sure that Chaqa thinks I'm doing that again. BUT! I must get Balduran lynched. Which brings me to Ezio and Vash... Ezio, of course, shall be looking around. There is a risk he settles on me. He is the key man I must convince tomorrow. I do not think Vash will lynch me as of yet regardless, but I may have to tone down my arrogance to him. I shall be a friendly HR. A welcoming HR. The HR you invite to your parents to show off what wonderful husband material I am. Yes, that'll be it. I shall hold Vash's hand and guide him through the ether to nail the dastardly Balduran. And when, OH THE HORROR, I am wrong, and Vash runs back to Momma Chaqa, he shall still go after Ezio with Chaqa due to his residual love for me.
Yes, I feel this plans has the clarity. The boldness. The plausibility. And the fortitude... To be up there with the greatest of all time. Call me Konstantin Rokossovsky... because I'm about to break the belly of the beast open. AVE!"
Silly HR, tricks are for kids
