Avocado keeps calling me things like "dude" and "man" and I am mildly offended! Can't they see that I am a woman!?

Also this whole tribe situation is really interesting and honestly a bit scary for me. I have gone from having a very secure base on my previous tribe to one where Avo/Droids/Bard could have easily bonded over the drama with Grogu (hearing about Grogu being all sneaky and manipulative was a woah!), leaving me and Tragedy on the outs. And this is especially concerning for me because they could easily decide that this is the perfect time to take out Maggie Smith the social threat.
How do I avoid that? Well, if they firmly set themselves on #MakingAMove, then I am quite screwed, BUT I will do my best to make them love me, promise them my fealty, my first-born, whatever it takes!
Conversation with Avocado and Bard is promising so far in terms of building up a connection, and the droids do a very good job of at least pretending to like me.
I have told Tragedy that I will stick with him regardless but the truth is that if I need to vote him out then I will. I would very much rather not, but a dame gotta do what a dame gotta do. |

Avocado is like the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They have extended themselves and a branch to me, presenting themselves as my saviour from the big bad world that seeks to vote me out.
It started with this:
Where after a whole lot of rambling, Avocado finally gets to the point. Granted, they were only one on the tribe so far to even actually get to the point, so kudos for that.
Even though the stuff about me having come up as a vote option and Avocado being "forced" to agree with it sounds kind of fake, the fact is that apart from Avocado, everyone else has been very vague with me! So I kind of have to believe that people have been awkwardly trying to avoid directly talking about the vote with me.
Anyway, at this point I'm thinking "lol I'm gonna play my idol and smash that avocado lol" but I'm also greedy and don't necessarily want to use my idol so I continue talking with Avocado, trying to play into this narrative of them being the fruity saviour blah blah blah and it turns out that Avocado may be willing to vote for Tragedy.
Right now, I still don't know for sure whether it's real, but I suspect that it might be because there would be little point in telling me that they're voting me only to then lead me on.
More possible is that it was the plan all along but I mean, it would never have been that hard to get me to vote for Plagueis.
Am I telling Avocado that I will love them forever and ever and ever? Of course I am (except in a more chill and low-key sort of way). Will I? Of course I won't! This Avocado/Bard/Droids threesome is clearly IMPENETRABLE right now and I don't like that.
There was always the option to play my idol and take Avocado out or something, but it feels kind of boring. I would rather have this scary threesome in the game for a while as a distraction. I would rather not have to fight over the holey ones which may or may not include the terrifying Michael Cera.
As much as I loved Tragedy's Elder Scrolls alliance, as much as I have enjoyed Tragedy, he is dispensable (sadly). And I need to sell out just a little bit of my soul in order to get through this thing.
I may still need to play my idol. I will be vigilant of any funny business right up until deadline. But whatever it takes, I will get through this, and hopefully with my idol still intact. |

Okay, with the idol only being good for this round, that changes things, but when I think about it, honestly not by much. If I'd known originally maybe I would have played it differently. Maybe I would have claimed the idol publicly up front and had everyone fight over me. Maybe I would have planned to take out Avocado and keep Tragedy.
I think that with the situation as it is now though, either of the above approaches would be not ideal. Obviously I have put a lot of effort into building trust with Bard and Avocado in particular and there's no point in undoing all that with silly idol shenanigans.
I considered not playing the idol at all and pretending I never had it, but it seems like a pointless risk, and there is advantage to showing Bard/Avocado/Droids that I had an idol that I could have used against them but I didn't. Also, if they are playing me hard (which I don't think they are, but stranger things have happened), then I will know (and it will be mega awkward but whatever).
Also I believe that soon after tribal council started Tragedy probably started throwing me under the bus so the value in keeping him as declined since that point. |
