Okay, well I never really understood that part of that song, so I assumed the song was trying to reference something else?

Also, I could swear that I had "That power's yet unknown." as my signature for a decent amount of time, but it's not in my collection. Now I feel bad because I may have failed at archiving. Also because I haven't changed my signature in a while, because I haven't thought of any relevant enough quotes. I wanted to use something from "In Circles" from Transistor, but nothing I've done would make "I won't save you" actually work, because I never end up having enough power for that to become an issue. And I also wouldn't know whether to proceed that line with "I see you hurting, I do what I can," "Never be sorry for your little time. It's not when you get there, it's always the climb," or nothing, because each of those lines are even less true to me than the focal line.

And this got really off topic really fast. Well oops.

TWEWY has a whole host of musical references, and Twister-Remix is intended to sound like the finale/encore of a concert - the singers (who could well represent you if you want to get super symbolic) basically bow out triumphantly while you bring down the final boss. "Miss Twister" could well be referring to the Composer, but in the song itself the first "half" is a solo act while the second "half" (after they bring in Miss Twister) is done as a duo. Basically, they're just being epic because it's the final boss~

I just thought it was all just music Neku could be listening to, and was actually playing in his headphones for the length of the game.

I still really like most of the music, I got all the secret reports, and the game is definitely one of my all-time favorites, but I probably know next to nothing about what the creators were really trying to do. Actually thinking about things is too hard.
Possible TWEWY spoilers

Anyway, those out there that haven't played it should reconsider. I believe it's even out for iPhone at this point. And if enough people play it they might actually follow through with the teaser they gave.

I remember there's a post up on gamefaqs somewhere where someone went crazy and analysed the meaning of every single lyric of Twister :P
Google search gives this if you're curious, I guess.

But yeah, lots of musical references. Conductor, Composer, the enemies being called Noise, the bosses all being named "___ Cantus" (Cantus being some latin term for singing), more stuff I'd be able to think of if it weren't 7am right now. The game has a HUGE musical theme underpinning it.
The "Neku is listening to all the music on his headphones" theory is also totally true, though.

If you're kinda stumped on what actually went down in the Thirty Gambit Pileup, I can try to explain things for you?

[15:24:44] Bernkastel: that Aronis was the target
[15:24:47] Dan: oh yea
[15:24:50] Dan: I feel someone just forgot
[15:24:54] *** Bernkastel nods ***

[16:22:55] Shadow: i have this suspicion
[16:22:58] Shadow: that you voted for me
[16:23:06] Shadow: despite knowing that i was not getting voted out
[16:23:11] *** Bernkastel shakes head ***
[16:23:14] Bernkastel: nope
[16:23:23] Shadow: you wouldn't troll me like that? :p
[16:23:28] Bernkastel: of course not
[16:23:36] *** Shadow peers suspiciously ***
[16:23:41] Bernkastel: why bother, other than freaking people out?
[16:23:51] Shadow: i would have thought it was funny
[16:24:23] Bernkastel: heh
[16:24:30] Bernkastel: my guess is someone forgot to vote
[16:24:33] Bernkastel: (probably Cody...?)
[16:26:13] Shadow: oh that's a good point
[16:26:28] Shadow: I doubt aronis forgot not to vote for himself
[16:26:32] Bernkastel: LOL
[16:26:48] Bernkastel: there was one vote to Cody though
[16:26:50] Bernkastel: it was 4-1-1
[16:26:58] Shadow: yeah
[16:27:01] Shadow: that's why its weird
[16:27:18] Shadow: i wonder if someone forgot to tell Lara
[16:28:06] Bernkastel: o_o
[16:28:17] Bernkastel: I'd be surprised if that happened
[16:28:27] Bernkastel: and I'd be more surprised if she "default voted" for you
[16:29:39] Shadow: i suppose that makes less sense then cody self voting
[16:29:52] Bernkastel: no no
[16:29:56] Bernkastel: reread the rules
[16:30:04] Bernkastel: if you forget to vote in this game, your vote gets cast randomly
[16:30:14] Shadow: oh
[16:30:49] Shadow: does that not feel like a rule that would strike drama in the hearts of en
[16:30:58] Bernkastel: XD
[16:31:14] Bernkastel: "If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, he or she will vote randomly and accumulate a snakebite penalty."
[16:31:43] Shadow: Neato, i didn't realize that was a thing
[16:31:44] Bernkastel: so yeah
[16:31:51] Shadow: i even read the rules ;_;

Asking Dan and Lara what we want to do should we lose again, with the aim of twisting them into targeting Shadow. Lara seems easier to convince there, while Dan has thrown up brief signs of resistance before.

So the planned Finn/Lara/sisBernkastel quartet is obviously no longer possible, but I was quick to reassure Lara that I do want to "take her in" so to say, and I'm sure sis will agree (I'm not sure she will at all, though...).

This tribe is pretty determined to avoid thinking about a potential second target until the moment we lose a challenge. What a way to get us a total mess of a second TC~

ACTUAL WORST TRIBESWAP
If Finn hadn't gone and been godGosh-darn-tootin' whiny SK I could have just picked him and EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD
or if Jason wasn't leader I could have just picked him and EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD
or if ANYTHING but lolnope
so let's just pick Dan's partner and hope for the best

Like the obv plan is to pick an ally of your partner
But I can't do that
So I guess I just have to go for the partner of an ally (if Dan really counts as an ally, I guess) and see how it goes...

Aside from what Dan might have said about her, any other reasons you made her draft pick #1?

I figured it'd make sense to pick the partner of someone on the tribe:
Lara - Finn ragequit
Cody - Jason's another tribe leader
Shadow - Bella was my second choice, but getting involved with them feels dangerous
Dan - Jess is left as my only real option. She might be in Bella's group as well, which could be good or bad, but it should leave me with options, at least.

Jason took Lara? Boooo :( Finn probably mentioned her to him. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Lara now takes sis, so that's something I guess. (and if she doesn't, I might ask Jess to?)

THEN AGAIN, having my partner as someone I can talk to and trust on a different tribe means I can keep in contact with more people, even though the risk of one of us getting sent packing is much greater.
Risk = Reward, huh? I guess I might just leave the choice to Jess.

Incidentally - given how often tribeswap phases allow you to talk to EVERYONE (and that never ends well for me), it's kinda nice to have this where we can't talk with anyone, even if it is kinda frustrating.
