#7250 So, that was certainly an eventful first merged tribal council. I’m not sure if that started on the rails, but it definitely fell off of them.

1. What are your thoughts on everything that happened at the first tribal council and people in the game’s reaction to them?

2. Last round the vote was pretty much unanimous, do you think the next vote is going to be this obvious or will a line be drawn in a sand this time round?

#7365 Okay, now that fucking shitshow of a night is over and done with, it's time to start playing for real. I am glad Kelly has left the game. She proved on her way out exactly why she is the ORG equivalent of don't stick your dick in crazy. Imagine, I nearly cut Andrea at some point to set up with that? Jesus, what a mistake that would have been.

I mean, the less we talk about it the better. Nothing she said was anything huge or revealing. No I don't believe she has any knowledge about Lily having an idol. And anything she said about me is just shit people already know. This is my life as a constant threat. If people take her for serious more fool them.

Two other nuggets did nearly get lost between the cracks though. For me, the banter between Katie and Ozzy points to a relationship I didn't know was much of a thing. But it makes sense. Between here and back on Tianguan 2.0 they've had time. And she does love to play the "our games are so alike!" card, he could buy that. And that worries me, because her detached from anything huge, and add her Yul bond in - well that makes her a far more attractive prospect for an ally than I do with my Tianguan core he'd have to crack etc.

The other one I didn't take much note of, but apparently Cass did? icon_unsure Vytas had to be the one to highlight it though. Again, it's Katie-centric. Something in her talk of pawns has unsettled Cass. That might be something to lean on later. I need to explore it more with Cass directly, plus go back and read through that thread (eye-gougingly painful as that will be).

Last round the vote was pretty much unanimous, do you think the next vote is going to be this obvious or will a line be drawn in a sand this time round?

God no. Unless we all gang up on Rory of course, but I doubt that. Too many big players in the game, all going to want to get a one-round headstart on firming up their own position with a shock vote that takes away some other number.

The trouble is everyone is so interconnected by now. Like there's no way to point at even a Rudy, and think Katie/Lil/Sarah will be down for that. The only real agreeable targets in that sense, are from my own Tianguan bloc. And obviously that would be bad for business.

Is that idol burning a hole in your pocket?

Okay you didn't ask that but fuck, yes hah. This thing is hot. I don't want to tell anyone about it. Not even Vytas or Cass. Maybe I will after an immunity loss. But until that point, I'm going to aim to work to the assumption that I'm immune by hook or by crook. I will not be afraid to play this for me, the first night I am vulnerable.

#7380 Shit is changing quite quickly so I should do a write-up here to encapsulate this moment.

The ~story~ is that Katie floated my name as a target. Not a lot of people bit. Not least of all Ozzy, who ran it back to Andrea I think first? Or Vytas idk. So we've tried to turn it around onto Katie, obviously. And everyone is down for that bar Sarah & Lil for obvious reasons.

Exceeeeept, that is just the story. And if it's all coming from Ozzy, maybe I should get chatting with Katie. And Ozzy has an alternate story too, where the target is actually Mia. So that's also interesting. I've chosen not to share that with Vytas/Andrea/Mia because the results of whether that comes back to me from elsewhere will speak volumes.

I figure I'll probably play an idol tonight if I'm not immune. But on me or on Mia? Hrmmm. What has me most nervous of all, is the lack of response from Cass. She is supposed to be my boo here, I shouldn't have to be hearing this all second hand from Ozzy. She has a boot-Katie plan in place already though, so hopefully she is still pushing that. I would very much like to hear her perspective of the story so far though. Would put my mind to rest for better or worse.

#7394 I hope you are all keeping up with the scramble tonight, I think I might just have been a joy to watch. I should insert some thematic Art of War reference here, but it's more just like, Trolling is a art.

Ask Katie wat u doing?
>She blames Lil
>Tell Lil Katie is blaming her
>Tell Rory Katie ahs been caught rapid and she is defaulting to a Rory vote trying to save her ass.

Fun times at Bàofù High.

#7410 Welp, I had a feeling that would be nowhere good enough once I saw Vytas winner from another game. I am used to stricter hosts so I took way too long trying to ensure the walls weren't damaged.

Now the big question for me is do I whip out this idol or trust my bonds & social graft. I think right now the chances of each boot are about Katie 50% > Mia 35% > Brenda 15%. But so much could change in the next hour. The guys that need to be here touching base with me are not. Although oops, I am supposed to send Yul one after our IMing. Better do that pronto.

#7415 Was supposed to say too, if I feel like it's Mia leaving.. do I actually go and save her with the idol? Is that better or worse for my game. I would only really know after I see the votes obviously. I think, if it comes down to it feels like she'll leave, it's better for me to do nothing. I should decide now though, in advance, because if I wait till spur of the moment I will just play it on one of us.

#7436 I could really do with some reassurance here, from the people I'm not already sure about. Looking at you Yul, Ozzy, missing-Sarah, flaky-Lil, mobile-Rudy. I mean of course they have reassured some, but not really. Every single PM can be read two ways.

Fuck it, I'll just trust in my work and if Mia leaves then so be it, and if I leave with idol in pocket, it'll be all the more hilarious watching the game play out with none of them ever knowing.

#7444 My end-of-scramble conclusion is to keep hiding this idol.

Rory is voting with Katie on Mia. I guess Lil is potentially doing that? Sarah is not. Cass/Ozzy could take this moment to cut Mia along with Rudy/Yul's help, but my gut says no. They'd get away with it scot-free if they did too.

#7492 Oh man, I've missed Stranded TCs something rotten. Got too used to the mute PM scramble that every game thinks is a good idea for some reason. Air it out!

#7537 I have gone too far, Katie might idol me out now instead of Mia. Ehhhhhhhh, gotta just trust my pre-TC decision to sit tight.

#7604 Phew.

I am going to be an indecisive mess every night so long as this idol is in my pocket. Long may she reign.

I totally overplayed that TC with the cockiness and the rubbing people the wrong way but I don't really care? Laying down some groundwork for future TCs to be hot too where I am less dragged into the drama. *Hopefully*

Also that whole mess was to ensure Sarah was definitely onboard with the vote, Lily too if I could manage. Katie hardly responded but that was enough to let Mia know for sure her name is around. She will be bullish now, and a target for it. Lily will feel unsettled. Sarah should come under my wing a little more. I have a decent set-up about to come together with Ozzy-Cass-Andrea-Vytas. Rory can see my fire and passion. Rudy ehhh..

Yul was probably not a fan of it all being so public and out there, but I think he and I can work it a bit anyway. Even if that is just the direction being a Mia vote. I don't really want to be the one to cut her here, but if she were to fall and it was out of my control well whoops a daisy. I'd be in a more preferable game spot with hopefully slightly less of a target on my back.

#7612 I'm always a paranoid mess with an idol in my pocket so can totally relate icon_laughing

I haven't been posting in your confesh enough but just wanted to pop in and say I've been thoroughly impressed so far and look forward to seeing where your game goes from here!

Heyyy Steph. Why aren't you playing? That would really give some creedence to the host-lliance rumours :P

Also who was it that bet on me going the distance, N8 or Joaq? because I'm pretty sure you should cancel that bet, no way I make the end from here. But it'll be a hell of a ride.



Wait for the soar from 2:44 leading into the harmonies at 3:30 icon_unf
