Elimination is great and all.  But dang, is this the lamest one ever?  One team eliminated 1 by 1, yeah that’s how it’s supposed to go…. But like seriously, it’s been one team knocked out 1 by 1 like there’s an order to it.  That’s not how it’s supposed to go. It’s like as soon as one team is tapped out, ok next on the chopping block, and on we go. Only thing that is a mystery to me at this point is what team comes out on top, and at this point the lameness of the last 3 and probably next 2 eliminations are killing this event for us onlookers.  Is there even any more actual fighting going on at this point?

Listen you can interfere as an outsider, elims don't give ED apparently anymore (waiting on confirmation before asking for wiki to be updated) - CONFIRMED INTENDED BEHAVIOR!

 

If there's no drama, you can make some!!!

Hear me out — teams, but no one knows who is on what team. Just blindly attacking for 7 days and teams randomly losing lives.

how many of them end up being true alliances lol, and how many of them are just 1-2 main character energy teams acting like snake oil salesmen sociopaths to the other 5-6 teams in their group; where they assume they somehow have the divine right to influence or tell everyone else which teams gets sent to the curb next lol instead of themselves lol

It ain't much of an alliance system or culture lol if every team is a meatshield for those that seem to hold the biggest political stock or talk the loudest lol from the onset. 

OP wasn't wrong, its been a parade and it's lame af.

That's because it's planned for TB and Hornets in the final two. They're the two teams that keep shifting and attacking their allied team they're targeting, then getting the rest to push them out. Breakfast Club is apparently next on the dogpile chopping block lol

Have definitely merc’d friends for sleep without the ED icon, perhaps it’s the old 1 hit per member in faction or however it worked, but no ED by default.

🐝 Official Statement from the Murder Hornets PR Department

Hello Torn,

We have seen the ongoing commentary suggesting Elimination is unfolding in a predictable order, along with allegations of coordination, targeting, and now, speculation that certain teams are already “locked in” as the final two.

As the official PR department of the Murder Hornets, we feel it is important to address this directly.

 

We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of plans, alliances, dogpiles, chopping blocks, or any expectation of who may or may not appear in the final two.

 

Any assumption that the Murder Hornets are guaranteed a spot at the end is speculative, flattering, and wildly optimistic. Elimination has a long history of punishing confidence, complacency, and people who post too early.

 

Regarding claims that there is no real fighting left, we can assure you that fighting is very much ongoing. It may simply be quieter, more calculated, and less visible to spectators who prefer open chaos over controlled pressure.

 

If the Hive makes it to the final two, that will be news to us when it happens.
If we do not, that will also be news.

 

We appreciate the continued interest in our alleged role in shaping Elimination and encourage the community to enjoy the show without assuming the ending has already been written.

 

Buzz buzz,
Darkfall

Just relaying what your lower members are telling their friends (and it is then trickling into other factions and team chats as a result). Might want to focus on locking down the team from saying that because that's how it got out and passed around that MH and TB are fixing it and who the next target is going to be

Matchlock [2227514]

It does feel like a highly stylized and scripted Kabuki theatre at the moment.

 

That said, for what it's worth, I can't make sense of the sequence of heroes and villains we've had!
