See, if you post high effort/high content, you're likely to be nightkilled/vigged/voted, so your best bet is to just call people idiots and wait.

I used to be a super high content poster. I used to give a lot of shits. All over the thread. My longest case against anyone once was nearly 2500 words over a span of 3 posts.

That was like... 6 years ago. Maybe 5.

Look at me now and weep at this husk of a man. What hell hath mafia wrought upon me.

Fun fact; I once convinced someone in joke phase, with one post, that I was 100% guaranteed scum and got shot for it. Because I was awkward. I still give wins poo poo for that one.

Also in April Fools Mafia I got shot by my own scumbro like 3 hours into Day1 because one person mentioned I and someone else were scummy and someone else empty quoted it.

Alright everyone, it's time for the Awful Survivor Auction! Individual Immunity is at stake here, but so are many other things! You've each been alloted a wallet size of $500 BYOBucks. When your wallet empties, you're no longer able to participate. Sharing of money is not at all allowed.

I'll display an item, and list an opening bidding price. You'll then be bidding in increments of $50, no higher, no lower. Bidding in any other increments will be ignored. You have two minutes to counter-bid somebodies offer, and it must be $50 higher than their bid, or $500 if their bid was at $450 or higher. Items might be left out in the open, they might be covered and revealed after they've been won, or they might just stay covered and their contents known only to the winner! It's a complete mystery! Individual Immunity for tomorrow night's Tribal Council will be a secret item here. The auction will end without warning, so if you see something you want, go ahead and bid on it. And when you are counterbidding, please quote the post that you're counterbidding to make things easier to read. Bids are on a first-come first serve basis, so if two different people counterbid to the same amount, only the first person to get there gets it.

Do we have any questions before we get started?

So if someone bids $50 I have to bid $110?

Wait, something is wrong.
TRUE CONFESSION TIME

The flip was me, sorry Andy. The deal is this, basically. I more or less realized that like, suballiances were being made anticipating the six man team going down but the thing was, and this is the thing... I was not ACTUALLY being contacted about any of them. So the idea of being on the bottom of a different six man ceased to be an issue, since I can do math and figured out that my vote was disposable. So I took the deal that was offered, because it isn't about being at the bottom of a six man group at that point, it is being part of a three man one. All the chest thumping posts about HOW I KNEW THIS PLAYER BACK IN SHITPOSTING SCHOOL and WE GOT OUR FIRST PROBATIONS TOGETHER and WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME sort of was a warning to someone like me that maybe I ought to do something!

The idea that I would face half a jury who hates me OR be the first voted out? Eh, both those can't be true at once. So I might as well play.

So basically my advice is if you have someone in my position in your alliance, you should have the grace to lie to them. Sorry Andy, if I had to do it over again I'd work something out with you ahead of time, because you seem like a crafty dude.

100. That was a leftover typo from when bids were gonna be in $60 increments, we switched it to 50 after testing proved that 60 leaves too much error for mathing
