Yeah I can't think of any reason to keep her over others, it's a real shame. I might even vote her myself just to not cause trouble.

I guess that's how it went.

I really wish the mods would give us the full vote total instead of just implying it.

I think if there were votes for anyone else, they would have said so, but yeah. I assume she penalty voted even.

Done as painlessly as possible, I suppose.

Will you be around for tonight's challenge? I'm really curious what it will be.

Garp seems like the best option to me, but if someone else has a good case I'm open to listening.

Sounds like you and Stelly had a good plan for winning the challenge. Shame it didn't work out :/

Yeah I screwed up bad there :/

The best reason for keeping Garp is that he is a blast to have around. The others are just a bit more reliable. I hate to cut someone that's so enjoyable tho.

I might suggest Pagaya or Law because of their lowish activity, but both have been really reliable in challenges.

I guess we're getting into the part where we'll need real coalitions and things to vote of players everyone likes :(

Yeah a lot of tough decision to come. Have you been branching out? Maybe we should add someone else to our alliance before any kind of tribe switch occurs.

I'm on friendly terms with most people- Law and Stelly are probably the two I'm on best terms with. How about you?

Stelly I'm pretty close with for sure. After that maybe Jango and Law, but not as close as Stelly.

I'm good with Jango too. Could be a pretty strong group! Except with five people present the backstabbing would start almost immediately...

Yeah I think 5 is a little too muchfor an alliance unless we keep them seperate from each other.

Let's go for Stelly first and then keep it on the DL as much as possible.

Alright I've approached him about it.

So I'm kind of fine with voting for Garp, but here's the thing. This reasoning only works if we're staying in this tribe for a while. If we're getting all switched up next cycle, we might be better off voting someone that we're just not close to or something. Maybe Garp can be a loyal ally down the line. I haven't talked to him much since the beginning, but what do you think?

I was actually thinking about that possibility too. Thing is, I'm not particularly close to Garp either. It's hard to be sure he'd prefer us as an ally over someone else.

Here's the thing: right now the votes are there to eliminate Garp, as several people I've talked to see him as the least beneficial to the tribe. Let's suppose we're looking to vote someone else out. If we get Stelly to vote with us, we can probably also convince Garp to join to save his own skin, which would very likely endear him to us. That still only puts us at 4/8 votes and forces a tie at best. So unless we see another opportunity for additional shenanigans, I think we're best off playing this one straight and not undermining our trust with the rest of the tribe.

It would basically be a gamble that we're getting realigned immediately next cycle, and that Garp will be a better ally and lower-profile target than whichever tribe member we're choosing not to target instead.

If we're thinking of Garp as a weak link that we'd rather keep to eliminate stronger competition, there's only either a 25% chance (2 tribes) or 44% chance (3 tribes) that he would be on a different tribe from ourselves. So that's a theoretically lower challenge success rate in exchange for a softer (but potentially lower priority) target at Council.

Basically I'm still opposed to the idea, but if you and Stelly are for it then I'll go along after arguing the details a bit more.
