date 1 - beach group b

[snackcakeordeath]

🍰 You're here at the beach🏖️ with some of the people YOU rated the 🔥hottest🔥 in town, so get ready for your chance to make a summer memory that'll last forever☀️!

🍰 It's up to you to create the 💖best date ever💖. Pick your special someone or someones and find an activity to really wow 'em!

🍰 If sun and surf🏄 doesn't float their boat, then make your move during that gorgeous sunset, or around a bonfire in the evening--timing and activities🦈 are up to you.

🍰 You'll need a public thread with all of your teammates where at least 1 thing is done as a group👫👬. Feel free to have any number of additional threads, public or private, with individual or groups of teammates; the extra effort should pay off with both your datemates and your hosts. Assume that everyone has opportunities to be 💑alone👩‍❤️‍👩🏽 with each other person.

🍰 At the end of the dates💕, you'll play Marry💍/Kiss💋/Kill☠️ on your datemates. Rate your dates✌️🖕 and you're free to go--but remember, they'll be rating you, too😨🤞. Hopefully you pulled out all the stops for all your dates!😎⚰️

🍰 Need some activity suggestions?
+ Swimming, snorkeling, or surfing🏄
+ Kite flying, beach volleyball, or burying someone into a sand castle🐚
+ Scary stories, sparklers, or s'mores over the bonfire🎆
+ Don't forget suntan lotion, you wouldn't want your poor datemates to burn!👒

🍰 At the end of the day, vote here.

It's actually rather simple. All we need do is distribute our points evenly. If we can accomplish that, then no one in this group will be killed — assuming, of course, that the hosts intend to play by their own rules.

[you_like_ike]

That is pretty simple. I'm up for it.

[Cracks it open finally. Hey, a pearl. Ike's more interested in the meat inside, though.]

[i_like_ike]

[Takes a stick and writes in the sand, names and arrows that loop around in a circle: Cassica -> Ike -> Kaiba -> Soren -> Wayne -> Cassica]

The easiest way would be to put our names in alphabetical order, like so. Then each of us starts with the person immediately after us, voting to Marry, Kiss, Kill, and Meh on down the list. So for example, you would Marry Kaiba, Kiss me, Kill Wayne, Meh Cassica.

However, this will require all of us to cooperate.

[you_like_ike]

There's only a few of us, we can handle this.

I think we can all trust each other.

[i_like_ike]

[of course you would]

...Mm. I'll be counting on you to convince everyone.

[streetwolf]

[Capris boy is just going to unceremoniously plop down on the sand.]

So let me just get this straight… I marry Cassica, kiss Ike, kill Kaiba then meh you. [He points to each person as goes.]

That sounds good to me. But if these guys actually want people to die then I don’t think they’ll let everyone go if we manage to arrange a tie every time.

[i_like_ike]

Likely not, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

[streetwolf]

Keep finding loopholes huh?

[i_like_ike]

Ideally. It's entirely possible that we'll be thwarted from the start when one group or another messes things up. That's likely what our abductors assume of us, or they wouldn't have implemented that rule in the first place.

Personally, I'd like to prove them wrong.

[streetwolf]

If one group messes up then it doesn’t affect us now. But they could make us swap later, right?

[He’s nodding, he gets it.]

If they want to kill me here then I’m going to screw’em over as many times as I can first.

[i_like_ike]

They could. That's another benefit to cooperating now; should we be separated in the future, other groups will see that we are capable of cooperating.

I'm glad to hear you feel that way, though. I had the feeling that you would be easy enough to work with.

[streetwolf]

[Shrugs]

I know what I'm good at enough to know I'm better off following orders.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Cooperation... You voting against your friend, is that supposed to be some sort of sign of good faith?

[i_like_ike]

Yes, in fact, as well as making it impossible for anyone to claim they forgot or made a mistake afterward. But if you don't trust me, I'm more than happy to change the order. Rather, I'd prefer it. I'm willing to work with and extend trust to the rest of you because that's what Ike wants, but I'd rest easier knowing I am the one to "marry" him.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I'm sure that you would.

I'm not saying that I trust you any less than anyone here. If the others are amenable to the plan, I'm not going to be the jerk who speaks against it. There's nothing like teamwork, right?

[i_like_ike]

If it's what keeps the lot of us from pointlessly dying, then yes, nothing like teamwork.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Exactly. You're the strategist, right? Ignoring your strategies seems like it wouldn't be the smartest idea.

[i_like_ike]

That's certainly how I feel on the subject.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Is there anything else you suggest we get up to out here? We were encouraged to enjoy "quality time" out here with each other, weren't we? Probably can't get away with just taking a nap until it's over.

[fastandloose]

Distribute things evenly, huh...

[she sounds a little disappointed.]

[i_like_ike]

Do you see an issue with this plan?

[fastandloose]

Ain't an issue, exactly. Just... seems kinda boring. You really think the people runnin' this are gonna let us get off with that?

[i_like_ike]

They've said that they will. I'm not saying that I trust them, but if there's something we can do to prevent each other from dying, that should be our priority, wouldn't you agree?

Besides, if we settle this matter quickly, we can partake in whatever ludicrous activities they expect from us. I doubt it'll be much fun, but it shouldn't be boring.

[fastandloose]

Not to be harsh or anythin', but I don't know any of you. My top priority is preventin' myself from dying. This could be a strategy to pull out a win 'cause you don't think you're gonna win anyone over with your style and charm.

Not sayin' I think that, but. Y'know.

[i_like_ike]

I would prefer you be harsh. Think of me as someone who has no feelings to be hurt.

Besides, you aren't entirely wrong about me. Obviously, I stand a greater chance of survival based on strategy rather than charisma. But that doesn't make my plan any less mutually beneficial for all parties involved. Cooperation not only ensures the survival of everyone here, but increases our reputations as people who are capable of working together and being trusted, which subsequently increases our chances of survival in the future.

Think of it this way: If the other teams manage to cooperate, and we solely do not, we will be blamed for triggering the killings. Even though it's likely what our hosts were going to do in the first place, that will fall on our heads. In that scenario, whoever survives the first round will be the first that the others turn upon.
