Yay for locking the welcome thread so I don't have to yell at spectators posting stuff there! Yay for being in a game again so I can drop my life story in here! (hah) Yay for... yeah, this should be interesting~ |

Philosophy Time: You may have noticed, but a large theme of how I measure safety in this game is how many TCs each player is likely to be safe for, assuming no tribe swaps. This might come from Seafoam, where I got in a tribe who started losing every single challenge ![]() But for example, from safest to least safe here: 1. Lara - can survive 4 TCs easily, barring some major screwup that costs her all her trust with everyone (which is just about as safe as it gets) 2. Dan and Bernkastel - can survive 3 TCs, would be pitted against each other in the fourth 4. Shadow - can survive 1 TC, might have difficulty in the second and wouldn't survive a third 5. Cody - in danger immediately, won't be safe until a swap (and will definitely be gone within three) 6. Aronis - likely first boot, and if he survives one he won't survive a second The partner mechanic influences things somewhat, but factoring that in would make everything a huge mess right now so meh~ |

The most likely way for this to be screwed up is for Dan to pull something funny. Naturally, the solution to this is to remove the motivation for him to do so - of course, should he have allied with others he might find himself facing a difficult choice, but I'd at least hope his connection to Lara through sitechatmodding will allow him to choose her and me over whoever the hypothetical other is (presumably Shadow) |

And for completeness' sake: Most-liked-to-least-liked: 1. Lara - super cool and awesome~ 2. Cody - adorable newbie, what more is there to say? 3. Aronis - I feel bad for him, but the game is how it is 4. Shadow - Kinda cool, but downright impossible to trust, except maybe when she gets flustered. ![]() 5. Dan - Useful to have an alliance with, but his personality is kind of insufferable and out-of-game I wouldn't really like him much. And ideal realistic boot order: 1. Aronis - rip 2. Shadow - yeahhhh the longer this one survives the more dangerous she gets, and she is kind of in a corner right now 3. Dan - don't know how realistic this is, but if we found ourselves in a third TC I could potentially see it happening 4. Cody - sorry newbie, but if we lost this many times you've gotta do what you've gotta do 5. Lara - it'd be her vs me in the dreaded firemaking challenge! D: (I'd probably hopefully maybe win though) |

And if you're really wondering why I'd ally with my 'least-liked', I offer three explanations: 1. Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. 2. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. 3. It was required to get things properly rolling with Lara, I don't want her to feel like she has to choose between me and him until I'm confident she'd choose me. |

If after this challenge, all tribes attended the losing tribe's TC, which tribe would you want to lose TC, and who goes home? |

Let's say Orleans because lololololololol (and because pretty much every player on that tribe is someone I want gone) |

Totally kind of just didn't bother trying with the challenge, but thankfully Lara kinda asked me how I was going and was way too kind about the mostly-made-up excuse about anxiety and feeling like I'd do a terrible job I have (mostly made up <_< >_>). Looks like she's taken over my role for me (for some reason we decided here each player would pick one pair/set to compare, because obviously that's the best possible way of going about things in this challenge), so I guess we'll see how things go... Seriously though, she's either incredibly genuine or wears an incredibly strong mask. |

Skype has taken as lot longer than usual to load up. Guess that must mean... TRIBAL COUNCIL |

actually I'm kinda worried right now everyone's saying things are going exactly as I expect them to be... except.
I mean, Aronis is supposed to be the target, so it's understandable he'd be fed some misinformation, but what the? I hope she isn't mad at my lack of performance in the challenge >_< |

(and of course, Cara's the one person afk right now) (well, she's Aussie so I'll be able to catch her later, but... uh...) At least, Aronis hasn't said anyone else has mentioned anything about me to him, so I should be fine. And if he seriously thought I was the target, I doubt he'd say anything at all. I feel bad lying to him, but... this isn't a place to rock the boat. Nothing good would come of that. |

I kind of knew we'd lose that challenge though... it was pretty obvious we weren't making up nearly enough redundant stuff, but I didn't really know where to fit more in. It probably wouldn't have hurt to have tried regardless, but given we came last for every single set I'd like to think it can't be singularly blamed on me. |

I wonder if maybe it's just the different format of Skype vs PM chains that make discussion here so much shorter. Maybe that, maybe the part where we've had the target decided a round in advance. Or heck, maybe the part where TC started five hours ago (thanks timezones). |

Saratoga isn't really that good. They're a force to be reckoned with, sure, but we equalled them in the first challenge and this one basically just came down to a single person's ingenuity on each tribe. And no one stepped up for that role on ours. I maybe could have done, but... maybe a little too much effort for a challenge I didn't like in the first place. <_< >_> (god why am I so terrible) |

Also, should probably be mentioned that other players have mentioned the general lack of conversation between the tribe in this TC, which shows a little more indication for my safety despite Lara's weirdness. Also, spectators, why does no one joke around with me have I been abandoned or something? How am I supposed to get my Xalty tokens brownlow medal whatever if no one likes me ;_;

Because rip sleep schedule? (but let's be honest sleep schedule would be rip anyway) That is the intended reference!

Finally caught up with Lara again, and just like every other time I talk to her it's pretty much impossible not to see why I'm considering her my closest ally on this tribe right now. Also, the quartet-in-waiting of sis/me/Lara/Finn is pretty much official at this point :3 |

So the one with the most Zalty tokens wins fan favourite and a million dollars, right? Who cares about winning when you can get an equal prize just from giving |
