Okay.
Calm down, Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's.
Breathe.
Let's look at this TC rationally.
What do I want?
1) To survive 2) To be in a decent position after I survive.
Before TC started, the ideal boot was T/H. HOWEVER, Bees has said that T/H is off the table. IF I focus on getting Lindsay and Bonobo on my side then it doesn't matter and T/H goes home.
Questions: A) Is this feasible? B) Is this desirable?
Let's do B first. This would absolutely burn my bridge with Bees. I'm relying on surviving, meeting back up with Maggie/Darth, and hoping that Maggie/Darth/Lindsay/Bonobo/Me are all good with a Purple Alliance. People will call that a pagong, there will be pressure to break it up, and I'm a high-visibility target. Upsetting Bees forces me into one lane, and it's a very dangerous one.
It may not even be a desirable one for the same reason as A. I asked Bonobo for his thoughts about the last tribe and an implied T/H vote and he said that sentence I quoted above. However, Lindsay told me "Bonobo seems pretty on board here so barring a hidden immunity idol we are good.".
Those can't both be true.
CONCLUSION: If Bonobo is telling the truth to Lindsay, then there is no need to be cagey with me. Therefore, he is not telling the truth to Lindsay. However, he's not telling me that he isn't telling the truth to Lindsay. That means Bonobo is either targeting me or Lindsay.
So, there are now two other options on the table. I can stick with Bees and vote out Lindsay. Or, I can try to convince Lindsay and one other person to vote for Bonobo. Bees and Bonobo shouldn't be super tight yet so it may be possible for Bees to change their mind about booting Lindsay. Bonobo is certainly more of a direct threat to me on account of the lying. I need to think about this.

There's also the nuclear option of saying my idol fragment is a full idol and trying to move votes that way. PROBABLY a bad option, but it is in the holster.

I think people appreciated your honesty in telling what happened. Bees asked me about what happened before I told them since they got it from you. And Bees did vouch for you too. Even knowing what happened. I would be ok with doing what bees wants here if they are serious about protecting both of us. Since at this point, they've said now that they liked both of us, behind each other's backs, to each of us. That points to neither of us going home if we vote with bees, doesn't it? I feel somewhat optimistic. I also feel better about your message. When I reread it, it reads more like you not feeling as close to bonobo as lindsay and just giving a default tribal lines suggestion. And knowing bonobo hasn't met bees yet... it's natural to think to ask to vote for bees with him. I feel OK again. Feeling better about surviving this round. I still want to make sure that IF Lindsay goes I can turn it into a positive, and if not then make sure Bonobo goes.

The worst part about being 100% on another players' ID is desperately needing to talk to them, seeing them post "I'm going to bed for the night!", but still having a non-game conversation with the person on Discord an hour later.

Sent this to Bees. How much pushing can I do? Not a lot, but certainly some. That's fine! I just need to talk about this vote. So once Bonobo and I shared a laugh about what an idiot I was, I asked him what he thought about the substance of the message itself, specifically him/me/Lindsay as a trio. He told me he needed to think about everything because no matter who got voted out he was losing a friend. This was a reasonable answer, especially under the circumstances, so I didn't think much of it. However, Lindsay said that Bonobo is on board with a T/H vote and that barring idol shenanigans we (i.e. the trio) would be fine. These conversations are happening at the same time. If Bonobo is saying that to Lindsay, then he should be telling me the same thing. That suggests to me that Bonobo isn't actually on board with a H/T vote. Now, even if both of them were I wouldn't want to trade in one round of safety for alienating you for the rest of the rounds so that's fine, but I don't like the fact that he's being cagey with me about it. If he doesn't want to vote T/H then he should tell me, and I'd understand - the purpose of my first PM was to feel out where he was! Anyway I guess the thing I'm trying to say is that I am down with you/me/T/H making a majority. I've talked more with T/H and it's been going well, especially under the circumstances. However, based on how this round has gone I would prefer to keep Lindsay and vote Bonobo instead.

Well, I think momentum in on Lindsay and I can't stop it.
By far my weakest skill in the Survivor toolbox is convincing people to do what I want them to do, and I have no idea how to get better at it.
Of course, maybe the votes are on me. If so this won't be an Elizabeth Warren level of comeuppance but it would probably be memeworthy so I guess that's something.
