I just sent the stupidest PM of my life. Look forward to it in my PM logs update in a couple minutes.

You will notice that says murder hornet. We are not hornets. We are bees. It's a common mistake, we won't hold it against you. You all look the same to me.

Whelp, seems group chats are already being made without me. That's real exciting. At least it's like Dave who told me, and he has it with Tragedy and..... Maggie? I wonder if that was accidental, but it is hard to tell. It's a strange strategy nonetheless.

Rough rundown on how I feel about people
Finn is... fine. Sure he made a huge faux pas with that one joke in response to mine, but I'm not going to hold that against him, he handled my reaction to it really well. He's interesting. I'm not sure how much I do or don't like him.
Tragedy is an enigma wrapped up in a mystery gifted with the powers of good speech. I like them so far, but I am wary. They were very upfront about the mistake in their previous tribal, but eh, that could mean anything. Also had my favourite PM title to me so far.
Tim just feels earnest. I could make friends with him definitely.
Lohans are coming for Kawazu, and Flim Flam, and Shakira's wtf vibe. Unlike the others, it does seem they have a balanced head in there somewhere though. Slight Kill Bill sirens, but not immediate concern.
Droids is a heavy shrug, got very little. But if they're a hydra and new, like Finn thinks, then I'm not too fussed there.
Maggie has not been present thus far.
This tribe is much more active than others, and I'm enjoying it a lot. But I do think I'm going to end up doing some of the boring things and just cozying up to Dave and(maybe) Zero. He at least has the most solid head on his shoulders, and he's sharing information as he has it, and I trust that.

Also, the fact that we don't have a chance to hear about every part of the game is slightly annoying. But only slightly.

Y'all can have the rest when I do a PM dump, and am done detoxing from game, but with very little preamble, I just got the following from Tragedy: Hey so I'm having a few nice new conversations around here but you've been my fave, so uh... allies?
There are 10 PMs in that chain, that's real ballsy. I respect the hustle, and you know what? I'm not about to say no, because that's dumb. But like damn, I know we're the buzz of the town, but goddamn.

Finn has also asked if we would want to work together. At least we were a couple of pages of PMs in first. I did say yes, but I don't intend to tell anybody I'm working with anybody unless they ask. We'll see if this goes poorly, but it is my plan for the moment. Does this possibly mean us bees are allied with the whole tribe? Maybe. I'm sure this can't possibly go wrong.

I am all caught up on PMs(and you can now be too!) and I'm feeling tentatively good about this tribe? Do I know who will get the boot come results, absolutely not. But I think I can be assured it won't be me. I've had 2 people ask me for alliances, the people I came over with seem to still want to do things with me, and I think I'm doing a good job of at least being likable. Unfortunately, I'm really not feeling well today, so my strategy brain is off. I should try to come up with a much larger coalition, but that's effort. Maybe just enough nudging can get some of my friends talking to each other and maybe they can bring up the idea of working together. It would see that Movie Stars is the most hit or miss overall, I could see a world where Star Wars and Potpourri just band together as a tight unit and vote together like that. Is that boring? Maybe. Is it what I want? also Maybe.

Well if nothing else, the world in which we have Space Bees? is highly likely to exist. I'm very down for this.

Right, so those were the public questions, don't forget to answer them. But level with me, how do you REALLY feel?
= Did this swap style suck or soar? Did you manage to bring allies with you to this early merge, or baggage?
= It's a 3/3/3 split, so no tribe can try for hegemony on its own. Do you have any cross-tribal alliances in the works?
= Let's talk challenge! You had the chance to lie your ass off and dupe people into mistakes, or win their trust with the truth. How did you take advantage (or not) of the lax communication rule for this round?
= Is there anyone in your group of nine who you just can't stand? How about anyone who makes your heart go pitter-patter? Do I smell a showmance? Dish!
= This round has the potential to be a bit cutthroat. How confident are you in your reads?
= Who do you think is getting the boot, and why?

I will answer your questions later Pine. It kinda sounds like maybe Droids/Finn/Zero is a thing, which also could include me? Which I'm a little hmmmm, Finn hasn't talked up Zero like that at me, I'm wary. But not so wary I'm going to say no to any offers. It has been quiet since challenge results have been revealed though, but I'm also not exactly worried yet? We'll see what happens.

1) It was a mix of the two. I dislike that I have no sense of what happened in D&D or animals or Food, but I like that I got to keep people I already knew. And I guess you could say I brought allies with? I didn't make anything concrete, but they're sure still talking to me as if we are an alliance. But I think Dave and I are closer than Zero and I. 2) Yes, absolutely. I am buddies with all the Star Wars peeps. Dave seems to really like Maggie, so we're probably in a good place that we could easily just get what we wanted. 3) I only did like once, and even then, I didn't do much with it cuz I was busy today. 4) I don't know that I can't stand anybody, I don't have tight bonds with Tim or Maggie really, but I don't hate them. I do love Dave, and Tragedy makes me happy. But I think only Dave has really been magical. Finn is fine, but he feels like a business proposition than he does a close confidant or showmance fling. 5) I'm pretty confident in my reads so far. I think we have enough newer people here which might make it much easier to trust what I hear. Just the vibe I have, is some new and trustworthy people are sitting here. 6) Tim. He hasn't made an impression on anybody. Finn did mention that there could be some traction on Tragedy, which I did *not* like to hear. But we'll see.
