shit man ima get back to you but basically that round was kinda a depressing eye opener for me. i feel like i dont really have a path towards a victory/im going to get eliminated since im in trouble anyways so im really apathetic and down about it. and tbh i have more anxiety about puttin my foot in my mouth and looking like an asshole by just nodding along only to get walked over than i do about not taking the shot and just doing my own thing. im experiencing burnout hard my dude and im sorry if it comes off as lumping you in with them but its really awkward cos i have no idea what to say like i feel like you dont like or trust me at all based on how events have played out in the past and when shit gets rough for me i always take a step back instead of doubling down. so this 100% isnt anything against you cos i know youre a chill dude outside of the 6 man group youve got going with dave and bonobo, i just dont really feel like being stomped out and putting effort in only to get nothing in return so i havent reached out to like 75% of your side after that. its conpletely my b and i understand if you hate me for it it just sucks to feel hopeless and boarded out a doin shit cos theres a solid group thats been established already cry more you fucking toddler

I'm visibly gagging as I agree to a F3 deal with Avocado/Rey
Rey agreed to my F2 just before that happened too
SO I feel like me/Rey are gonna become the hot commodities that people wanna flirt with and take to the dance bc they see us as the easy people to beat at the end. That's fine by me, let the offers pour in and let us pick and choose who to go with. 0% chance of me letting Avocado get to the end though, I'll cut his throat before then

at the current moment (NOTHING against you) i think that you would likely not win any ftc configuration except a f2 against rey. thats not me dissing you, its straight up cos jury bias hates returnees and shit. BUT i feel like i also dont have much of a shot in most configurations which is why im willing to put my faith in you and help us reach that point. hell you can vote me out later if you want, at this point ill be happy if i make f6. I hate how much I agree w/ Avocado here. Like fucking hello? If returnees literally never stand a chance of winning why the fuck do mods keep putting them in games

Okay so here's what I'm doing this round:
People (I think in the Bard/Droids camp) are pushing for Bonobo.
Because, and I cannot make this up, now it's Bonobo that's the number one for Dave. Last round, it was Bees! This round, it's Bonobo!
So... what I'm doing instead is telling them to go fuck themselves. Just in a nicer way. I don't want Bonobo this round. I want Dave. Because if I get rid of Dave, it's open season on Droids and that alliance now loses their boogeyman and has to start firing at each other. Droids already knows he can't beat Bard/Avo at the end. Bard knows he has to turn on Droids. Avo is already turning on them by setting up a three person alliance with me and Rey but I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna let his first move with our alliance be to dictate to us that we're taking out Bonobo.
Is it clear how much I just transparently don't like Avocado yet? I don't know if my disdain is coming through appropriately.
So... this round, I know Avo has the prime idol. I know where all the advantages are. I think I'm gonna try to get a wagon going on Avocado, let him idol, and then split my votes with Rey and Cleric and a few others in order to take out Dave here.

This is hopefully the round that, if I make it to FTC, I make my case on.
I've now lined up all my shots. I just broke the ice with T&H and straight up poisoned the well on Maggie long term by pointing out how threatening she is.
I'm painting with a broad brush here. The game is in stagnation because Droids/Dave are the "two threats" nobody wants to touch because it's "too early". My pitch to T&H and Rey is that the only people who benefit from keeping around those two threats are the actual real threats like Bard, Avocado, and Maggie. If we bite Dave this round, it forces their hands early and pushes them into the new threat positions after we deal with Droids.
Coincidentally, it also forces the exact elimination order I wanted two rounds ago. Dave now, then Droids, then some order of Bees/Avocado/Bard/T&H heading down the final stretch.

if I'm committing any cardinal sin right now it's underestimating Rey and thinking she doesn't have side plans on top of side plans, she's definitely in my blind spot

Fuck it, let's make this a live tribal. It has come to my attention that I am being pushed for the following reasons: 1) Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's is a challenge threat! 2) Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's is secretly running the game and Bees is his right hand! 3) Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's is secretly running the game and Bonobo is his right hand! First off, I'm good at some challenges, yes, but I'm not going to win out. Especially not with this game design; look at the last few immunity challenges we've had and see how much swinginess and randomness is in them. Besides, I'm not the only challenge threat in this game. Look at the players who won the first challenge, all of whom but Finn (RIP) are still in this game - Maggie, Bard, Avocado, and Bonobo. Funnily enough, two of those threats to win immunity are pushing me based partially on me being a threat to win immunity! Now ask yourselves, who does that serve? As for me being secretly running the game with Bees or Bonobo, does that track with what any of you have seen? Like, at ALL? If Bees and I are BFFs together, why did Lindsay go home? If Bonobo and I are running the game together then why did the two of us take a long time to decide on Ranger last round? Hell, if I'm running the game at ALL, then why did my push for a Monk vote at the shipwreck not only fail but also have a fuckton of outlier votes that I was completely unaware of? If I'm running the game at all, then how have I been doing that with a garbage activity level this week? If I'm secretly running the game, then wouldn't one of my hypothetical minions have told me about the planned blindside on Bees last round BEFORE the TC deadline? I'm not running the game. I'm being set up as a scapegoat, and I think we all know who is trying to capitalize on that false perception. oh look at my name staying completely out of the spotlight lmfao
