Round 13/14 - #MaggieMingles
--
THIS is where I start really playing. Well technically last round with the Ranger vote, but close enough. I don't know how many of these groupchat/alliance-y things are running around, but I've got a few and I feel like I've hopefully nestled myself into a secure position within my "side" whilst not being too high or low on the threat chain.
Me/Rey/Grogu, Me/Rey/Dave and Me/Dave/Bonobo are all groups that exist. Rey likes Bonobo but with Bonobo having recently suggested Grogu/Dark Rey as votes (seriously what were they thinking?) I would be surprised if they are that close to each other (although evidently closer than previously with Bonobo no longer wanting to vote out Rey/Grogu).
Bees? is an odd one because from my perspective at least they seem like something of an outlier to a more general Rey/Grogu/Me/Bonobo/Dave group, however Dave and Bees are likely close at the very least. Maybe Bonobo is in there too.
I think that Dave at the very least is seen as a bigger name than I and people (even on my own side) will want to take Dave out before they take me out. However, I also feel secure with my Grogu and Rey connections. That feels like an actual tight group which I'm excited by.
I like having Bard on the side but he'll know if I'm just leading him on, and it's getting dangerously close to that. Admittedly, I suppose my plan ultimately is to lead him on, that is how survivor works unless you are actually intending on taking someone to the end. But I would prefer not to make him believe there is a future when there is not one. I selfishly want to keep him for when my "side" potentially implodes and drama happens etc. But if Bard decides that I'm not worth it and looks for greener pastures, then how can I blame him? Working with me is honestly probably not a good idea for him. Unfortunately I must do my best to make it appear so.
Another person I may need to whisper sweet nothings to is Avo. They sent me this sob story just now and even though it feels like the usual Avo brand of manipulative, there is probably some truth to it. The game indeed has not gone that well for Avo the last two rounds and so who can blame them for being deflated by that?

hey maggie, really sorry about not responding to you earlier. its less of me enjoying the break than feeling like. kinda really burnt out and kinda bummed out in general with the state a the game as a whole. that whole vote was kinda a depressing eye opener for me in how i really dont have a path to the victory in the first place? like, on one hand, im playing third or fourth fiddle in my own friend group cos im shit at communication sometimes, and on the other yall have got more power in the first place and based on whats been happening so far it feels like its just gonna keep on running that way. so i was kinda takin a step back so i didnt put my foot in my mouth and look like a desperate asshole rather than put a lot of effort into shit only to get walked on and become an easy consensus vote anywaylike i feel like we havent gotten the opportunity to really chill with each other or work together at all beyond that one vote where you had an idol anyways on plagueis. when shit gets rough for me i always get demotivated instead a pushing harder, so this 100% isnt anything against you cos i like talking to you and i think youre really cool outside a the tight group youve got going with dave and bonobo. i just dont really feel like putting my all into this dming stuff anymore which is why i havent reached out to yalls side after tribal. so i understand if you dislike me or wanna eliminate me cos of that, it just sucks to kinda feel hopeless cos theres already this big solid group established in conjunction with the fact that im on the bottom of my own side already
I just need to make sure that I don't get myself into too much trouble with my conflicting connections. And as much as I don't want to get ahead of myself and think about FTC before I get there, I honestly should be thinking about it. I don't want to come second just as much as I don't want to come 10th. I want to win.
