Bold play by Lukas.
In the watermelon/apple room he just suggested everyone give him 2 garnets as a deposit. If we bid $5 next round, he'll give them back.

?!?!? and what's the incentive for the players? knowing they have given 2 garnets away, and let another pocket loads of money lol ??

No clue.
Pete re: the plan with Sam's oranges. I'm going to question you to try to get her to make a move quicker and make it less obvious we're plotting together.

I'm not giving Lukas garnets. I'll bid $5 on both - I'm fine with that. But he's not getting any garnets.
Technically, if Cherry and Misty change to watermelon, and everyone goes along with the plan, they can be saved. Sam wouldn't win, David would probably lose - unless either of them change, which I think is unlikely (but possible).
And Adam, sorry about that. That was more of a bluff. The reality is Lukas, Rachael, and I all have apple/watermelon. If Lukas wants to win, with Sam and Pete already in the lead, he needs to trust us (and understand that for us to win, we need to trust him... without his garnet idea). Not sure if I should mention that in the thread, though, with 2 people who don't have both (you included... but I assume your goal is to just not lose).

No apologies needed. I'm just trying to keep a spotlight off us as potential allies, since he doesn't trust you.
I like Nyx and Lukas and their enthusiasm for the game. But they're going to quickly rub people the wrong way.

I'm just going along with the garnet scheme because I know Rachael will give them back (I wouldn't have given to Lukas).

I actually like them both - and in a game plagued by inactivity, it's nice to see 2 people who are really excited about the game.
But I'm getting fed up with their power-tripping and trying to con me (in particular) because they feel they can do no wrong. In any other strategy game, they would've been prime targets for me already.

I'm curious if Nyx will make a power play this round and undercut us since she never agreed to anything. I kind of hope so to see the fallout with Lukas.

Same. I'm almost hoping for it.
I had my little talk with Lukas and tried to implicitly, voodoo-Jedi-mindtrickery, pit myself against Nyx a little, or get him to me against her in his mind (as I get the impression he sees her as a big threat). Walking out of it, I doubt I'm his favorite person or who he'll be especially loyal to (at all), but hopefully he'll want to try to use me against Nyx. Which means if Nyx does undercut us, next match should be very interesting.
Rachael seems onboard with the $5 plan.
(I see that Nyx posted in the apples/watermelon thread, but... can't be bothered right now. I'll read through that later).

Nyx did it!
Should we keep trying to get as much as possible for watermelon, or not? I'm bidding $1 on apple regardless. How's orange coming along?

Sam said she'd go for the $5 bid but I don't know the validity. I bid $1 and I believe Pete did as well. I don't think any of us will finish last, so I guess we bid big on watermelon if we want to try to get a garnet, but I'm not sure that can happen.

I was hoping Sam would change her orange, we would have cleaned up in the last 2 rounds. I bid $1 like Adam. I'm bidding $1 again, I think you should too Adam(for oranges).
Here are the totals
Pete - 6 Adam - 8 tomcat - 7 Nyx - 8 Lukas - 7 Sam - 4 (if she followed the plan) Rach - 7 Cherry - 0 David - 0 or 2 misty - 6 or 7
Are you going to use your secret this round Adam? To keep up the pretense with Sam?

I used the secret but bid more than $1 so you could potentially get all the money and move closer to the top since I'll likely get the $5 from watermelon again.

I think I'm safe simply because Cherry has $0 so far, and the only way for her to make some is for Sam bid high on grapes, and I don't think that's gonna happen. Cherry is off to the death match, where she will take Sam for the way she stabbed her in the back in round 1.
