It really shouldn't matter whether you bet first or not. Either way, it's Nyx/David, right in a row, that should be your only problem. But it's just a matter of trying to come out even with Nyx and David (either by not betting, or by betting a chip on each sign). You have everyone else's signs to bet as much as you can.

I guess I'll bet one chip on each sign. Because if she bets, then I have to, if I'm second right?

I'm thinking I'll go second in round one so that I can build up more chips and that way, I'll have enough to get through rounds 2 and 3. Say, I bet all 4 chips on Adam, then I'll get 12 chips going into round 2. Then in round two, I'll go first and bet anywhere from 1 to 2 chips depending on how many Sam has. Then if I lose them, I'll still have 10 or so then repeat in round 3. Maybe get down to 8 chips and then in round 4, I'll go first and bet the max I can depending on what Sam has and I'll slowly gain my lead to where hopefully she can't catch up. The idea is that if I'm second I can bet as much as I want basically, and it's in those rounds that I'll get my lead.

And thanks for Cherry's pick! I requested a room with her still.

If you do get Nyx's sign, don't trust it. She's helping Sam.

I haven't heard back from Nyx or David. Wish me luck. I'm nervous. I probably won't go all in on anyone's chips just in case someone lied to me. You never know... And starting player is gonna be random Mas said.

I'm sure you can trust me (really, I swear!), Adam, and Pete. I don't think Cherry is motivated enough to lie and she probably wouldn't lie to me. I haven't asked Misty about her sign but she was upset about Sam screwing her over last challenge. I asked Adam about Lukas and he said he thought Lukas seemed sincere in wanting to help you (bear in mind I privately called out Lukas during the last Main Match and kind of guilted him for lying to me a couple times... I think it made him feel bad and he's trying to get people to trust him now... he seems like a cool kid, just really loves this game and is maybe overzealous). So, you can probably trust everyone. Maybe stay cautious of Lukas, unless you absolutely need him for the win (which I don't think you will).
And goodluck! Sounds like everyone, except Nyx and David, is rooting for you (well, Lukas may be rooting for everyone else to trust him again, but that works to your advantage with him).

Pretty sure Nyx is trying to get Lukas to win by mining all of the bombs, Lukas bets 50, he's in the lead and gives her the token of life. It's up to you what you want to do about that. If you're alright with them winning immunity, then fair. But it will keep you from earning any points, too. She probably can't recover, anyway. I'd suggest mining 1 mineral to get a share, then stop the mining. It's up to you.
Lukas tried to convince us to mine all the bombs on our team to give Nyx 50 points, which is why I stopped the mining.

But if he's the highest bidder than he gets nothing right? So far, Nyx hasn't bid this round. And I can't call a stop on mining until she mines something...

Not if she gets all of the bombs. If she gets all the bombs, then none of you get points, but Lukas does get points. It's actually not a big deal either way. She's probably just trying to get Lukas to beat me, which I'm fine with.

Yeah, Nyx basically sucks. Meh...

Lolz. I think she was trying to put Lukas in the lead, and get herself above Pete and/or David, and have Lukas give her the token of life.
Would you be willing to take a page from Nyx's playbook and mine everything? That way no one else will lose anything at least, so she won't have any chance of catching up (if someone loses 50 in 2 rounds, she just needs to win 50 in 1-2 rounds and she might not lose). If you mine all the bombs she won't get any points for your team, nor will David. You're already in the lead for your team so will get 3 garnets at the end.

OK, that was a weird fluke. I only mined 2 minerals, and they were both bombs. So Nyx has less to go before catching up. Crap. So mining all the bombs to make sure she can't get anything would be awesome.

You know I am at whatever right now. Because if she mines all, I still have a low chance at beating her. I don't want to be the one to ruin it though. She's gonna mine all anyway when it's her turn... :/ It just sucks cuz I can't catch up on points.
