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. |

In Civ 1.0 the player who signed up as Sitting Bull dropped out and their replacement wanted to be Washington. I did not realize the unfortunate implications until it was too late. |

I am actually reasonably confident going into this challenge. Not gonna be doing it tonight, since I have a soccer game and might do a drink or two after, but tomorrow or Thursday I'll give it a go. But yeah, I'm broadly fairly confident in my writing, and my "correct grammar" is generally pretty good. It's just gonna be about maintaining composure and typing the best I can. |

The bright side is I think this could be a challenge that Napoleon and Theo are okay at. With Theo, it's definitely a composure thing. She's clearly an intelligent person, but I think she doesn't handle pressure well, like, at all. |

Anyways, just chilling at home - worked from home the 2nd half of the day and got all my shit done early. Am tired as fuck, so I didn't try to jump start next week. After I get home from dinner, I just need to center myself and focus on slaying this challenge. The last two I've managed to get by without winning, but I don't think I can make a miracle happen again if Alex wins immunity. |

Anyways I'm feeling about as confident as I can here w/o having the necklace around my neck. Just need to check the pulse on everything, make sure I don't need to remind Napoleon of how insta-win Alex is right now, and that'll be that. And I'll be in my first FTC. It's stunningly close. |

Anyways I need to curb the paranoia. The previous vote went the way it did because Napoleon and Theo were trying to optimize their chances of being able to axe Alex here. They both took a harder desired FTC opponent in order to improve the chances that Alex would lose FIC. Going back on that now just looks really dumb. |

Just shot Nap a ping to make sure everything's okay (subtly, of course). Again, the decisioning apparatus that would vote me out here is super bizarre, but not impossible so gotta shield against that. |

Okay Theo still seems bought in on Alex being the bigger threat. Basically, she thinks she's legitimately played a better game than me, whereas she doesn't think that about Alex. I think in a lot of ways she's right (she's literally never been on the table once despite the entire game knowing she's a massive threat), but I think I have my arguments and feel-good narrative that I can run with and try to make something happen. There's also the fact that I am very confident with my ability to argue in FTC. I think a piece that's been missing from a lot of the decision making of people in this game is the fact that FTC is a thing where we say shit, and the fact that I've been really good at convincing people of keeping me in this game when I have no right to be here is probably indicative that I'll be good in FTC as well. Hopefully that stays missing. |

Okay Theo says things are fine so hopefully they're fine. I don't know what else I could really say at this point. The rounds where I went super round I had leverage and game equity I could dig into but at this point there is really not that much other than making my argument the appealing one. |

Theo relayed some stuff that Alex told her in PM, and it sounds like he was maybe referring to his loss as T-Bird in OW. I mean, there are a lot of other people it could be (Jess referring to her Dan loss would also make sense), but idk I just have a feeling. Not that any of this matters now. |

Fun fact: After I got my offer at Cap One my senior year of college, they flew me down for a sell day. I emailed my "Origins of Feminism" professor to ask her if it would be okay for me to miss class, etc, and her response was: YOU WILL BE MISSING SAPPHO Oh btw this was the chair of the Classics department. |
