Okay, so: 1) Montezuma was right that there were returners? Wtf Klick r u made of literal magic? 2) Washington and Hannibal is maybe not terrible for me? I wasn't involved in either of them being voted out, and had decent relationships with both for the durations I interacted with them. Certainly better than it being any of Saladin/Dido/Stalin/Monty/Tokugawa 3) Willem on the jury is probably fine for me? He's going to be a pretty neutral slate if I make FTC, so he'll likely echo the broader sentiment of the jury and be influenceable during FTC 4) MERGE FUCK YEAH. |

Seriously I've never won an individual immunity in an ms game before. Fucking SUCK premerge. Then Borobudur happens and I win 3/6 post-merge including that challenge I literally threw, and was 2nd in one of the ones I lost. |

Anyways this round is b/w Julius and Alexander and it comes down to what I think will be best for my game (and getting alignment from at least one of Gilg/Steal-your-land-ello |

Anyways guaranteed F6. Now tied for 2nd best placement unless an item steals my necklace (pls mods don't have made that that would be fucking balls). Except I think anyone looking at this game will say "much better than J4" because boy was J4 a trainwreck. |

Now thinking we maybe do Jules this round and Alex at 6. That would then be Theo/Poca at 5 and the other at 4, probably. F3 of me, Gilg, and Naps seems fine. |

Okay wait I didn't have an outstanding from Alex (telling, lol) Basically, there's kind of this question of whether Alex or Julius is the best vote. Let's pro/con both of these: Alex Pros: Removes biggest threat to win from game, isolates Theodora completely, removes a reasonably strong challenge threat Cons: Leaves Jules/Napoleon pair in tact (Pocatello viable to flip and use ~secret advantage~ to break tie on next vote) Jules Pros: Isolates Napoleon, prevents a third from latching on to double-goats Cons: Leaves Alex in the game (although how much is he a threat to win given how close he is to out the door this vote? Can I just nail him next vote ezpz if he doesn't win immunity?). Theo/Alex pair left intact (although Theo has stated a willingness to flip on Alex to remove the threat he provides) |

Then there's even the question of "is there a vote I'm not seeing that's viable that would be better than both of these choices?" What if I did Pocatello, for instance? What would the game look like at that point? Does Alex then become Pocatello and latch onto Jules/Napoleon and try to close shit out that way? |

I guess, like, which boot order is more likely to have things come in the way of being realized: Jules Alex Theo Pocatello or Alex Jules Theo Pocatello I guess the Jules/Napoleon pair represents a major threat to that 2nd one. Ugh, Theo's logic is getting to me and I can't tell if she's playing me and actually unwilling to flip on Alex, or if she's just being right. Even if she is unwilling to flip on Alex, what if we just do her, then, and Alex at 5? 4-2ing them at that point when they're the two biggest threats shouldn't be difficult, right? Although then maybe I want Pocatello out at 5, since he represents a bigger immunity threat to me than anyone in this game? Do I want this to be like Skypevivor where I lose because I lose FIC and can't take out the person who ends up beating me? Does Pocatello even beat me in FTC (I think yes, but maybe I'm wrong?)? Fuck this game is hard. |

Like they just took out my biggest competition for challenges. But now I may just have to win every challenge? Maybe everyone in this game realized Pocatello was a threat? Maybe they're just all willing to lose to Alex? I'm just so confused right now and need to get info from everyone and figure out how to move forward from there. |

Okay, I may still have space. Just have to appeal very strongly to people's senses of actually wanting to win the game and not just handing it to Alex to maybe create some space. Alternatively - just go apeshit enough to turn myself into a massive goat. Or just win every challenge. I've already won 3/6, what's another 3/3 or 4/4? |

Okay, I have no sense of what "good" is on this challenge. Got 132 on my 3rd try (just past "everything is harder now lol), so my guess is the ceiling on this may be reasonably high. I don't want to say "oh I need like 250-300 to win this," but I really just need to grind out as many reps as possible while being strategic on how to play this game. |

Anyways I'm on my back foot again, doing some scrambling to try to survive. I think Gilga and Theo both want me in the game to beat Alex at a challenge so that they don't lose to him (theo probs doesn't auto-lose to Alex but it would come down to FTC), but Alex has the double-vote and that matters a lot here. Basically, I'm trying to appeal to him by pointing out that taking out Jules or Napoleon opens up an FTC spot, and that's good for him because he's favored across basically all FTC matchups |

I don't know what I would do without music in this game. With how stressful, frenetic, and chaotic it's been, having music to keep me (mostly) calm, centered, and able to fight on has been huge. If I make FTC, I may do a music motif within my speech to try to communicate this. |

Okay so Theodora is actually unsure. I think I sent her a pretty compelling argument (Nap/Julius/Gilg don't get broken up if they remain intact after this round), along with a bunch of buttery shit. I would honestly go through with my deal to take her and Alex to F3. I'm gonna play up how hard I think I lose that, but...

Yeah this is not looking good. Theo's seriously going to flip on me here and I can't believe it. |

Like girl you aren't getting to F3 and you know you're handing Gilgamesh or Alex the game if you take me out here. |

Can we get a video confessional either way?

I'll either do an F5 video confessional or a post-game JURY SPEAKS video. |

Seriously though Theo you already fucked us with the Maria vote. I fucking breathed life into your game to save myself, and now you're gonna throw it away again because you somehow, SOMEHOW think the trio of mediocrity is going to turn on each other and let you have a chance to stomp any of them in the end. Like seriously, c'mon. Nobody respects Napoleon and Jules's games, and they're not flipping on each other next round. |

Welp, time to spend the next 5.5 hours convincing Theo that she's making a huge mistake. |
