Good evening everybody. What we're in with right now is a tribal council. A term that means little, sure. But in this game with such limited time, we will sometimes have to use this space as a council (hopefully as a better one than the city council). So I'm coming here, not with the ordinary answers to questions but with a hope to have the tribe deliberate as a council (better than my city counci please). So to do that, I'm going to tell what I perceive as the story of the round. I encourage you to tell your perspectives so that we can all go from this tribal with the full information to cast the best vote we can.

I think the decisive moment in this round looked small. But I genuinely think it was task day assignments. The girls were very very quick to make sure that they were all together on water. Then, they said that maybe there should be four on water instead, and grabbed Frosti. In my opinion, this was the beginning of a plan to vote me and Clarence out. If I had been there, I would have fought it. So I ended up with Clarence, and we had a great discussion, and we made a plan to get Frosti and the girls on our side to make the vote happen.

Then, it was challenge day. The groups were pretty random, I was with Cydney. She opened with "Hi, looking forward to talking to you". I responded. And then she never responded again. In the other group, a similar story developed. According to Clarence, T-Bird just didn't show. And finally, Steph sat out. That meant we had no chance to discuss anything. So on chat day, me and Clarence both bid well over 50 stamina to get our choice of chats, but instead we got each other. The girls were therefore very interested in making sure Clarence and myself cannot get a word in, and to swaying Frosti to my side.

So here's my plea tonight. Clarence and I are not snakes, just because we weren't online during task day selection. There's no apple to bite (jeez this is getting more than a little sexist)! We're both just as committed to the success of NuDowdle as OG Dowdle. We're both committed to the game. I've done all-nighters in this game, more than one. Over the past few days, I posted regularly even when it was extremely inconvenient. As any OG Dowdle member can attest, I was integral in tribal planning. I'm active. I'm not a bad player to have on one's side. And now that i'm able to increase my activity once again, I should be able to do even more.

My vote tonight is for Cyd. I understand she had a family emergency, but she seemed active enough for quite a while, and she didn't notify me of it. She also lost us the challenge. While the rest of us were willing to commit the maximum of stamina for the tribe, Cydney wasn't. CC may say that it was our planning that lost it for us, but he's not correct (with respect, he shouldn't have said it either). Really it's the fact that we didn't all go on fast. That would have saved five or six minutes and won us the challenge. Even before this round, it seemed Cydney was the least talkative here. I plead with you not just to consider alliances but to consider the totality of the circumstances: I'm an active, loyal tribe member and a guy who you can trust.

If I don't convince any of the girls to join my vote tonight (and I hope it's unanimous), I at least want to say this to Frosti. There are no rocks on this game. If god forbid this is a tribal-lines vote and you vote against Clarence or I, you're ceding control of the tribe to the girls. 100%. If you tie up the vote, it's a 50% chance that you're the guy with all the control. There's no reason to go against your old allies and friends in this game. I don't think you have been swayed by the girls' arguments that they've been trying their best to make, but I need to offer a counterpoint here, given I haven't been given a chance elsewhere.

Just wanted to point out my hypocrisy of complaining about losing an advantage while asleep while trying to exploit a family emergency for my own aims. Because if I don't, I'm sure a spectator will.

Why did you change your mind on statement posting? You went with something smaller.

Yeah? I feel like posting a huge wall isn't helping anyone. It was just cathartic.
