Literally a drag but this is also helping me from not completely burning out. this is a marathon of a game and according to the schedule we have well over a month of this left. I feel like im spinning my wheels a bit here because the bees and droids arent giving me much. the droids even seem to have missed a message from me and not responded to it at all?? they just kinda moved on in the conversation. The bees havent been as direct with me on whats going on but ive also been slow to respond for the past day. then you got grogu, who, despite being gone for over 24 hours, seems to be the most forthcoming to me. although its easy to be forthcoming when your position is "i dont have many connections, i just hope i dont die". im pretty big zzzs here too dude. we sorta got a plan its just waiting for results and then seeing whatever the hell bees is gonna do. hell maybe grogu will get antsy and try to take the reigns. yeah me too

the fact that i have received ZERO messages in EIGHT minutes is thoroughly upsetting. If you take the number of minutes and divide them by the number of messages, you get my level of disappointment.

Grogu is seemingly trying to set up grogu VS. bees right now.
Would be nice if bees/droids would chip in and tell me what they want.
Oh wait it's only the other subtribe that's online right now and they're probably all talking together and I'm last on their list of priorities, GUGH

Innnnteresting, because it seems like Bees is the one who is telling me I'm finished and that he can't do anything much to change it? But like, Bard hasn't even been around much at all, and Droids is telling me they're not pushing me, so I'm not sure where he's getting that from to be honest. I would prefer not to go home obviously. I don't PARTICULARLY want to vote for Bees, as he's been a very solid conversational partner for me this game, but I obviously would prefer to stay in the game if the options came down to "vote for Bees or you go home". I've heard more than one person seemingly thinking Bees is a big threat.

Grogu thinking bees is targeting him is either 1. a legitimate concern 2. a cleverly planned ruse to get the vote on bees so bees plays an idol and they idol someone from our tribe out in a glorious big brain extravaganza

Yooo feeling pretty good to be honest! We basically haven't heard a lot to this point. But of course now everyone wants to come talk to us, you know how it is. We are getting some conflicting info right now so I'm honestly not sure what is happening. But I feel good about two things: 1. We want to keep working with you 2. It's not going to be you My goal right now is to try to set us up really well as a group of whoever is left to work together, because I think we all came together really well for the gummy bear vote and if we can keep sticking together I think we can go really far post merge. I hope you are feeling that way too because you basically came right to us and gave us all the info about gummy bear so we basically feel a ton of trust towards you. So I don't really know what is happening right now and I think we are going to take advantage of the fact that we can sit back a little bit and let people come to us but I wouldn't be too worried (or at least as much as you can manage!). -R2 yepp they're trying to get a vote on bard or avocado who here is ready for the 3-3 standoff oh baby lets do it im ready to get freaking ROCKED into redemple temple

ok wait no i actually read the message, I think droid is trying to sort out the whole thing of bees vs. grogu that seems to be transpiring behind my back and he doesn't really know what's going on ok wow, good thing droids won immunity, this guy legitimately seems like he wants to work with us. his thing about us telling him what was up with gummy bear was legit. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA let's just pretend I never orchestrated a plan to vote him out ok that never happened never happened

Yeah honestly we were feeling kind of out of the loop too to be honest. I don't know if everyone is feeling that way or what? Maybe there is just no loop. But we basically had no plans for voting coming into tonight (and still don't) and I was really worried about us being perceived as a target just because of how gummy pushed us. The conflicting info is basically between Grogu and Bees, that's why I feel like you are safe. The short version is basically that Grogu is talking about Bees coming after us and it's unclear what's real and what's just noise from someone trying to keep themselves safe. Yeah I feel really really good about working with you, Avo and Bard and I feel good about working with whichever of Bees/Grogu is telling the truth, just gotta figure out who that is. And yeah I was talking to Avo about how much I appreciate how direct you were with us, probably should have told you that sooner haha. But like ever since that first challenge I feel like super tight with you. -R2 Yepp, bees VS grogu in a steel cage chutes and ladders match

Yeah Bees isn't giving me anything. Basically telling me they had no plans, but before this vote they were cryptically saying that they think people will go after me or Droids based on their conversations, but then like, nobody else has confirmed that and seems to be not on board with that? I don't know. I think the first name that gets three votes behind it is gonna roll in this TC because we're in a six person group and I don't think anybody at this point feels strongly enough about anybody else to try to go to rocks for them, you know? Droids seems to be a little suspicious of what Bees is doing here. I think Bees is just a bit skittish because last round people were calling him and Droids a pair and he didn't want it to be seen that way. this is super manipulative and i'm not having it

You were right on grogu when you picked up the read flag on how he wasn't willing to commit to anything, grogu is exactly as sketchy as you said he was: He's started a 1v1 between himself and bees by saying bees was cryptically targeting him. I replied like, OK, if bees targets you I'll let you know. Bees sent 0 messages to me the whole night since he had a headache according to the tribe thread. Now grogu comes back to my initial reply of "ok i'll let you know if i hear bees targeting you" with this big wall of manipulative text that continues to paint the narrative of grogu as victim and bees as aggressor when I'm pretty sure the reality is that bees has not done a whole lot tonight. Like I get that he recognizes he's in danger and is trying to save himself but instead of saying things like "please keep me i'll work with you" he's just going full on narrative/optics manipulation and I'm absolutely not having it. he's pushing bees in every single angle he can: calling bees/droids a pair, calling bees a threat (actually "other people" called bees a threat), bees is "acting like this", like just pure throwing out phrases that he uses to get people to think about the game in a way beneficial to him. And everything he says is never something he says, it's all "other people". This stands in hillariously stark contrast to droids behaviour tonight, who contacted me tonight saying a similar thing that he said to you saying he wants to work with this tribe and have good people, so I backed you up saying you vouched for him and I think that puts the three of us in a pretty good place with each other, all people who can actually talk straightfowardly and have loyalty and not defer to walls of narrative manipulation so basically **** this guy, I don't want to put up with this kind of gameplay in merge, and I think even if we keep him here he 100% flips on us immediately and continues to play the nasty optics manipulating free agent. sent to avocado, who had just sent me a message saying "I will defer to you on what to do this vote" avocado and bard both know when they're the leader and they like to take a back seat so, we haven't been the leader yet, so i guess we're the leader this round but that gives us the token to say we lead last round now we're backseating

I hope you finally got to eat. Eating is important. Race conditions? Is this related to operating systems? My tribal council thoughts are in order: Shit, frick, Goddamn it. But also, before immunity went up it seemed to me like Grogu was the name on everybody's lips. Now that immunity has happened, I don't know that that has changed, and I haven't exactly heard anything to the contrary. But I have a suspicion/worry that I'm being shopped about and I am not completely sure whether this is based in paranoia or if I have anything to actually be worried about, so would you help some bees out and tell me if that about tracks with what you've experienced thus far? Grogu is indeed pushing you to try to save himself, but he's doing it in a weird and nasty and sketchy way, where instead of being like "I really trust you and want to build a strong bond with you so you will want to keep me, let's work together" it's instead "here's a laundry list of terms that you can use to describe someone in survivor to ruin their reputation, and people who are not me are saying these terms apply to bees". Also he did some other sketchy thing where he told droids one story and then told us another story despite the well established fact that people talk to each other in the game of survivor. So yeah, no thanks. Not interested in bringing that kind of gameplay to merge. I've hardpushed against grogu to avocado and droids (since they have been online), so your name is indeed out there, but you shouldn't be worried. He's already made his bed. Grogu dies
