Swap is unsurprising in retrospect. Going to be a lot of swaps this game. Getting to know people now. We'll see how this goes. |

Anyways I'm probably going to TC. If we only win 1-2, I won't be too upset, but if we go to TC after winning 3 battles I'mma be pissed that I fucked up. Like, I managed to lose to a misclick in a game with no mechanical depth. 100% my fault and inexcusible. If this were the challenge, I would volunteer to go in the fortress for that kind of shit. |

1) Social game is probably pretty average. I'm making small talk and chatting, but I'm trying not to be the most likable. I've been very around, which helps, but in reality we're probably in a swap-heavy game where floating by early is gonna be really important. 2) No idea. I'll take what I end up with, for now. |

Julie Chen here to learn the newest juicy goss for tomorrow's Live Eviction episode. I'll be coming around every once in awhile to get the deep dish from all the contestants in Survivor: Civilization. I'll be hosting my own strategy chat show in the spectator station that only mods/spectators can see (until end of game). So tonight, I'm trying to find out who do you trust in your tribe? Who are these people that you just want to lay down in bed with and chat with for days on end? Who are the ones that you can't wait for the door to hit them on their way out? So to figure this out, please rank your current tribemates from 1-5 for 1 on maybe who you trust the most with your deep secrets down to 5 for whom you wouldn't even trust to take care of a dead goldfish. No ties either, I want to see real numbers. Thanks! |

Anyways, without directly mentioning she who shall not be named, here's how I feel about things broadly: 1) My levels of trust right now on my tribe are probably Hatshepsut>Stalin>Dido>Liz>Saladin. I don't explicitly distrust any of them, but this is mostly based on the levels of personal connection I've had at this point. 2) Tokugawa sucks. No tact. Want him gone at some point. Obviously now isn't the time, so w/e. It'll happen eventually, dude is an abrasive fuck. Like worse than J4 levels of PMing imo. 3) I'm trying not to be too much of a threat right now, which is honestly a bit hard for me at times? Like, if my read on how this game is going to play is right, the pre-merge in this game is even more about not being targeted than actively getting your targets eliminated than even past swap-heavy games. I want to be seen as present/useful enough for people to want to keep around, but not such a high profile that people have a reason to target me in the case of a weak swap situation. Basically, I want to be #3 on every tribe, although #4 will probably generally suffice. 4) Hopefully the other tribe doesn't try to stir up drama/shit. We're likely losing our Saladin buffer here, so chaos about the next vote would probably be bad. I want to have a decent vision of people's relationships such that the next vote can be pretty routine, should we lose again. |

I think we're going to see an early gamestate where people play more conservatively because making moves in one round gets your throat cut the next, and with all the swaps and all the relationships people are going to have, there's a lot of chances to go from top to bottom or bottom to top. I think most people are going to realize that coasting is more important than wrangling control. Interactions are mostly happening as expected right now. It's not super different from the early game of any other Survivor game. |

So nobody is online to chat and it's making me nervous as fuck because I can't get affirmation from Stalin and Hatshepsut and Elizabeth that everything will be k. Meanwhile the fact that Saladin voted for me last round and now Dido wants me are indicative that I'm doing something wrong, but I don't really know what? Like, I could maybe try-harder a bit more on my PMs, but I don't want to come across as too social or too much of a threat. God, this much be what Kilby feels like in every game, except he's able to have more chill. |

Seriously though, Hatty and Hannibal are the only two people who didn't suck this TC. Dido is worse than IRL Dido was, which is impressive. IRL Dido was cray. This Dido is more cray. Liz was like "oh em gee can we still be friends if I vote Dido? I voted you because you're a threat!" And it's like, bitch, please, if I were an actual threat, this conversation wouldn't be happening because I'd have utterly crushed Dido. The fact that I couldn't remove someone with Dido's social game with ease is because I'm bad at this game. I'm just good at hustling. Stalin couldn't fucking tell the other tribe he was voting Dido, apparently? Like, dude, it's awesome that you're on my side here and that I'm still in the game, but, like, this isn't hard. You just had to PM like 3 people from the other tribe being like "I'm voting Dido" and the convo is over. Hatty's cool. Hannibal's cool. Augustus has 0 backbone. Like, dude couldn't even be bothered to tell me that the vote from his tribe was swinging my way when I explicitly asked him to. Like, glad to see you 0% have my back in any meaningful way. I'll make sure to go real far out of the way to help you when I hear your name come up. Harald I have no idea about. I need to actually talk with him, lol. Monty and Maria: Lol. I know you guys lobbied to keep Dido around. I know you're being curt with me know because you don't want me around. Whatever. I'll crush you both eventually. You both fucking suck. |

I really don't know. Liz voted for me, but she's recovering nicely and acting remorseful. It could just be an act, and she could be waiting for the first chance to jump ship to anywhere else, but the bridge doesn't appear burned. In addition, she's saying things that make Stalin seem inconsistent/shady in a way that doesn't seem intentional? Like, Stalin was the reason the vote tied, and he may have seriously been considering voting me at one point (which would have driven confusion). He's saying he told Liz straight up that he was voting Dido, but that doesn't seem to have happened? I don't know, the details aren't all quite there, and I'm having a hard time really understanding why. If we lose this challenge again, I'm going to first make sure to secure Hatty, and then try to figure out wtf is actually going on. |

The official name of the country south of the border is "United Mexican States" so you got two countries with United States :-) |

Unfortunately not "United States of [Place that is not America]" Which was what was implied in one of the responses until the mod edited it. |

Still no idea where the recent techs have been hidden. It's amusing that I found the first one like a week late but w/e. I'mma just sit here with my spears and chill while other people pass me technologically. I guess with like 4 to be in play shortly, EV per person is <1, but you know that one person has like 3 and I have the other one. |

Also I'm getting super emotionally done with this game. Hopefully things can turn at a point, but between the mods [redacted insults] and the last TC being super draining, it's getting really hard to continue to care. Like obviously I'm going to still play and fight with 100% to stay in this game if I'm under fire, but my 100% is starting to fade really fucking fast. Edited by Boudica, Jul 21 2017, 06:14:08 PM.

Man imagine a world where I don't misclick during the first challenge and we win it with 4 bouts instead of losing with 3. That sure would have been a world. |

And I know there's a tech still out there that I should be searching for, but emotionally it's hard. And my games of choice right now are FM and Dankest Dungeon (Dream Daddy is... less than I expected, unfortunately). Those aren't good games to destress on. |

Why has the "Challenge 3 ends" thing up top not changed to "TC 3" |
