Tribal Council #20
Good job, everyone! The expendable regular cultists workers held off all those creepy minion things, now it's time to enact the ritual.
I just hope we're in time.
Uhh, was that one of you? No? It wasn't me...
Is it possible we made this tower TOO Art Deco? Did we really need the temple on the top?
It's a good thing we have our own "backup" here.
Just a few final ritual incantations...shit! The doors are opening!
Keep it busy! I'm almost done!
You...when someone asks if you're a god, you say YES.
Oh well. We needed a final blood sacrifice anyway. {Avocado}, {Dark Rey}, {Grogu}, {The Tortoise & The Hare}
Please vote for one of your tribemates to be eliminated.
Specify your vote in the provided confessional thread.
Avocado is immune.
You have 24 hours.
Please answer the following questions in this thread:
1) You made it to the final regular Tribal Council! Good job! Don't rest on your laurels here, though. One of you is already headed to FTC, and another will cast their vote as the final member of the Jury.
2) The last vote was a tie, and really laid out lines of battle. We went to a Hive challenge, and that proved to be decisive. Are the lines just as strong as they were then? Are we headed back to firemaking? Or are things...less clear now?
3) What is your favorite memory from this game? Feel free to name more than one.
4) On a scale of "There is no Dana, only ZUUL" to "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!", how safe do you feel at TC tonight?
5) This is the last questions from me, next round you'll have to face the Jury - or sit on it. Are there any Jurors you are looking forward to seeing again? Dreading?

1) This isn't a question.
2) I think the entire jury is expecting this vote to be 3-1 on T&H. It would make sense for Avo to take two returnees to the end with him and give himself the best chance of winning. Avocado is still deciding on what to do though. It could easily go to firemaking.
3) That PM T&H sent me about Avocado that made me spit out water all over my keyboard.
4) Beam me up Scotty
5) Oh I am dreading seeing some people on the jury!

2) I hope the lines remain strong for my own sake. The returnees can't win narrative is an instance of the gambler's fallacy: this game has had the most dominant returnees ever seen on this site, and it's an insult to the jury to imply that they won't recognize their games for what they are. 3) Failing to get a blindside off on Maggie and then almost dying for it 4) I'm one of the two options. 5) I dread the people still in the game more than the jury

2. this is the final four vote. theres no setting yourself up for anything down the line except maybe final tribal council, and even then you may be thinking about survival more than that. at this point, it comes down to what your personal values are, how big of a chance you think you stand in front of that jury, and how much you value emotion versus strategy when everything is on the line. this is a big choice to make for everyone involved, and while it will probably come out as very clear cut in a hive or a 3-1 at the end of the day, it all comes down to one single choice and one final vote that you get to cast.
grogu does say that the jury is expecting me to take out t/h to go to the end against two returnees, but there's no guarantee how the jury might be thinking in any possible outcome, and on the flip side, t/h is noting that returnees HAVE had a lot of control over this game, which is pretty obvious when you look at the five permanent advantages they pulled out and the control they exercised with them in the f7 and f8 votes. so really this decision is a lot more difficult at first glance. do i go with my friend who i've stuck with from the beginning for nearly seven weeks, but has survived a lot more and might split the votes with me? or do i go with the person who's an excellent speaker and came back from a replacement into a very advantageous position at the merge to join up with the returnees and almost wipe the floor with two others? what do i value in this game when it comes down to it, what gives me the best chance of winning, and where is my heart gonna take me? its always a mystery and its a mystery ive still got 24 hours to figure out
3. HOOO boy this one is a doozy. i think one of my absolute favorite moments in this game is seeing the fourth swap where five returnees came back into the game. that shit made my jaw drop and was one of the most hilarious and unexpected parts of an lsg i think ive ever seen. beyond that, i think that this entire merge has been very memorable for various reasons, whether its me fighting tooth and nail when my ass is on the line to reaching new heights that i never even thought were possible, and even winning the firemaking challenge against cleric to defend my chance at getting to the end and winning the immunity i needed the most to cement a position in the final three with a real chance at doing what ive never done before. this game has been an absolutely wild ride for me and ive had a blast with every second of it
4. ive got the necklace, so its less safety and more 'which of t/h and grogu do i want to vote for?'. like i said earlier, it comes down to a multitude of individual factors, and it's not as clear cut as it may seem to other people who are in the hot seat this round. its an important decision.
5. i dont dread anyone on the jury. people there know that ive tried to keep things cool and relaxed even when tensions are high or we dont see eye to eye and i hope that they come in with the same kind of inclination towards bein chill and respectful to all three of the finalists no matter who they are or who they think should win coming in. at the end a the day we're all people behind these screens, and at the end a the day this is just another game. i realize its hard to say that to the people who have been really invested in it only to fall short, but this is all something that we do just for fun. i think im looking forward to how people on the jury are gonna analyze, compliment, or criticize my game and i hope that i can prove myself deserving of my spot in the final tribal council. this has been a wild ride yall and im proud to see it to the end

2. highly dependent on what i decide very soon 3. my most memorable moment, but not my favorite is the TC where I had to take out michael but, favorite would be the tcs where cleric and me and grogu took control of the game for a time. i felt so accomplished. 4. everyone's saying it's between t&h and grogu, but you never know. 5. i am afraid that some people might be upset with me, but i also just really want to meet them again.

As we've ended in another 2-2 tie, anonymous firemaking accounts will be sent to Grogu & The Tortoise and the Hare shortly.
If Firemaking is completed by 10pm eastern tonight, FTC will go as scheduled. If not, FTC will be started whenever the game if Hive is completed, and the deadline will be shifted back a day.
