This seems like a fun thread to do, and maybe relevant for later too? I guess we'll see. When I update this thread, I'll try to make it known somewhere. Player: Bunny Old: It feels like Bunny and I are floating in similar circles and are jockeying for the same spot? I don't know, but Bunny feels closed off to me, which to me signals that I missed my chance here and I'll probably need to find a way through them later. The others like Bunny, which will inevitably become a problem for me if something in our relationship doesn't change, but Rat told me that in his quest to find a group chat that Bunny didn't mention my name at all.
This is bad for future reference. --- I'm not really sure when it comes to Bunny. It feels like my opinion on them keeps swaying back and forth a little. I'd like to get a more solid read on Bunny because there's definitely something I'm not getting here. I guess that can wait for now, and I'll figure things out as we go along. I'd like a more solid line here. --- Bunny isn't my closest ally, but they're definitely a serviceable one. I feel like we could work together pretty well going forward, too. It all depends on how things go moving forward, I guess. Bunny being in my swap tribe is good for me because it means more time to schmooze Bunny closer to me. Otherwise, I probably would have preferred a target in that spot instead. But I'll make the best of what I can, here! These people are notably positive on Bunny: - Hedgehog - Rat - Sloth - Genet Bunny is notably negative on these people: - Genet - Grizzly BearSuspected Alliances: Sloth + Bunny Hedgehog + Bunny Rat + Bunny

Player: Genet
Old: Genet isn't here and is active TC fodder at this point.
As far as I can tell, everyone is in various states of agreement that Genet is our easy boot because they haven't been online in almost two days, and I seem to be n of the only people who had a PM with them. --- Well, Genet is here now. I'm moderately pleased with this because it will make things all the more interesting if we go to TC. Assuming they keep it up, I'm off work early tomorrow so I may try to throw together a group chat w/ Genet and someone else (Mongoose, perhaps? Depends on who likes Genet then). Ideally, I can keep Genet alive until we swap out as my personal thing. --- Yeah, my bad. Genet is still largely AFK. But this could be used to my advantage if we swap, because I'm confident that Genet's closer to me than anyone else. --- I think the thing about Genet is that she's sporadically very active. She shows up in bursts, and then disappears for a while. This inconsistency is vital to where she'll be positioned on a tribe - low. RIP Genet Genet has stated interest in:
- Sloth - Bunny - Hedgehog

Player: Grizzly BearOld: Grizzly is very new and hard to PM, but at least Grizzly is moderately active, and that should do for the immediate future. Long term worries include keeping Grizzly for too long and letting them goat their way to the end, but that's a while off, and Grizzly seems like the kind of player that could be unanimously voted off without much fuss long before then. --- So I guess I'm allied with Grizzly Bear now? This is a good short term alliance, but ideally if we swap I'd like to swap AWAY from Mongoose and just get Grizzly Bear, so I can murder them at some point. RIP Grizzly Bear. These players are notably positive on Grizzly Bear:
- Rat - Mongoose
These players are notably negative on Grizzly Bear:
- Everyone else.
Known Alliances:
- Mongoose/Grizzly Bear

Player: Hedgehog Old: Hedgehog is a fun player who really doesn't exist much. She's not someone I can talk game with, as much as I'd like to, because I don't feel comfortable in her ability to last more than a handful of TCs - I've gotten about 2 PMs yesterday and 1 today, and that's really it. I hope this improves, because I'd like to pick up Hedgehog for myself later. --- Yeah, I've absolutely got my teeth in when it comes to Hedgehog. I just got a full list of people Hedgehog likes and doesn't last night, basically in order. I can definitely work with Hedghog going forward, and I feel very comfortable here. I feel comfortable with Hedgehog - of my close allies, Hedgehog is the one I feel has the best grasp on the game. I'm a little concerned that I allied with two newbies as some of my main allies [Mongoose/Sloth], but Hedgehog is easily the most dependable in this regard. Hedgehog is notably positive on these people: - Bunny - Rat - Butterfly - Frog Hedgehog is slightly positive on these people: - Dog - Anglerfish- Hedgehog - Snowy Owl Hedgehog is neutral on these people: - Sloth - Capybara These people are notably positive on Hedgehog: - GenetThese people are slightly positive on Hedgehog: - Butterfly Hedgehog is notably negative on this person: - GenetSuspected Alliances: - Hedgehog/Bunny (+Rat?) - Hedgehog/Butterfly - Hedgehog/Frog

Player: Mongoose Old: Mongoose is shenanigans incarnate, but I've not heard much about him from the others. He's very active (like me), but his 100 words or less shtick is likely causing problems for him in the likability department. I suspect Mongoose will be a pre-merge boot of some variety, but he'll make a good ally for now.
I'll need to hear people's thoughts on him, but lack of thoughts is still something, because it means no one feels too close to him, so he's probably on the outside. --- I feel like I finally have a good idea of where Mongoose stands at this tribe - and that's somewhere on the bottom. No one seems functionally interested in Mongoose, which means I get him all to myself (and also to Genet I guess, but let's be real.) This is good, because I'll need to cut down some of these people eventually, and I can reliably cut Mongoose later on whenever necessary and not feel bad about it. --- Mongoose is failing to connect on Herbivora too. This is a concern for some point in the future, and another good reason to try and take him to the finale. --- I expect Mongoose to end up at the bottom of this tribe's totem pole, unless Kestrel and Bunny have some unforeseen issue. That's... a problem that I don't think is solvable without sticking my neck out for him. It may be too early to do that. RIP Mongoose These players are notably positive on Mongoose:
- Grizzly Bear
These players are slightly positive on Mongoose: - Sloth - Butterfly - Hedgehog
Known Alliances:
- Grizzly Bear/Mongoose/Genet

Player: Rat Old: Rat and I are each other's number one ally, as far as I can tell. He's been great fun and is very solid all-around. I can see Rat going far, and if I can keep Rat closer to me than to others, we should be able to tear this game up. This will probably be tricky, because everyone is probably chewing at the bits to ally with Rat. --- I'm not feeling as closed to Rat as I used to? Maybe that's an effect of me not feeling as necessarily tied to Rat as I was earlier in the tribes, and me being more aware of my position on this tribe. Still, Rat is definitely useful, and a good ally to have around. I'm not sure who he's closest to for sure, though. That could be an issue. The fact that Rat told Kestrel they're close to me signals he intends to be my close ally, and that he trusts Kestrel. I have to keep this in mind moving forward. These players are notably close to Rat: - Everyone [THIS IS A PROBLEM.] Suspected Alliances: - Sloth/Rat - Rat/Bunny - Hegdehog/Rat - Rat/Kestrel

Player: Three-Toed Sloth Old: Sloth is alright. He doesn't message very often, but the messages are rich with content and overall is someone I could see myself getting invested in, if the right circumstances occur. I just wish he was around some more? --- Sloth is someone I feel firmly comfortable is in camp Lion (after all, he just sent me a PM affirming our alliance!) He's also a solid strategizer, so he's someone I need to stay firmly with me so he doesn't start scheming against me instead of with me. I do like talking strategy with Sloth, but I can also use his lower activity and mediorce relationship with Hedgehog to my advantage if things go south in our alliance. I'm quickly realizing that Sloth has little potential as a long-term ally, but I'll certainly milk him for what I can. These players are notably positive to Sloth: - Bunny - Rat - Genet- Snowy Owl These players are somewhat positive to Sloth: - Mongoose These players are neutral on Sloth: - Frog - Capybara - Hedgehog Suspected Alliances: - Sloth/Rat - Sloth/Bunny - Sloth/Mongoose - Sloth/Snowy Owl

Player: Dog Old: Very first thoughts: Dog can be used to weaponize him against Aeria later, but this could also be a massive ploy, because seeing Dog here seems... odd. This is like the last person I probably would have guessed. --- The more I talk to Dog, and everyone else, the more concerned I grow with him. I'm pretty sure he's lying to us and just looking for an inside route. But Dog's personable and can be good at challenges, so I want to AVOID targeting him for now. --- Dog's solid and likeable, but firmly in my outer sphere. He should still like me, because he should think I went out of my way to save him, but maybe it's worth trying to solidify something before we swap. Just in case. Then hope he gets horribly merc'd before we see each other again? RIP Dog [The entire tribe is nervous about Dog]
Dog dislikes:
- All of Aeria? Except one person.

Player: Anglerfish Old: At first glance, Anglerfish is entirely unremarkable. His grievance with Axolotl is far more interesting than anything he has to say. --- My relationship with Anglerfish is to the point where he's easily not someone I want to keep around, compared to all other options. And given how TC 3 went, I very well may have that chance. Overall, I feel uncomfortable around Anglerfish because I don't think he's willing to work with us much after a swap. RIP Anglerfish Anglerfish dislikes:
- Axolotl

Player: Butterfly Old: Butterfly is fun, absolutely a personal like here. We share similar interests a hell of a lot, too! I'd like to go out of my way to work with Butterfly around when TC starts. --- After TC 5, I feel about as comfortable as one could have if one went through a single TC with Butterfly. She seems to care about my opinion, and we worked together here. This is absolutely a relationship worth building. I feel marginally confident in Butterfly being a solid ally for me going forward, but the wording she chose to use to signify that worries me a little. "my top person on the old tribe in the event of a swap" means there's probably an Aeria that isn't Snowy Owl that Butterfly is closer to. These players are notably positive on Butterfly: - Mongoose - Hedgehog - Frog These players are slightly positive on Butterfly: - Snowy Owl - Sloth Suspected Alliances: - Butterfly/Hedgehog - Butterfly/Frog - Butterfly/Snowy Owl(?)

Player: Capybara Old: As far as I'm aware, people seem to be generally neutral on Capybara, and I'm inclined to agree. He's active enough to not cause a problem, and is someone who's definitely just "OK." Seems to be easy TC fodder.
Capybara is absolutely sitting on the bottom of this tribe, which is fine for me. People are struggling to connect with him, and I want to make sure they don't get a chance to. Capybara reads to me like one of those players that could be very problematic to get rid of later, since everyone will want a good goat. These players are notably positive on Capybara: - Frog

Player: Frog Old: Frog is absolutely enjoyable! Him and I are off walling already, and it's quite something. For as well liked as Frog seems to be, I'm not confident in his overall position on the tribe! Sloth seems to be looking to axe him, and if I can save Frog from this that's a big plus for me.
Frog is absolutely a good player, but they're a good player I can make use of. Frog is absolutely one of those players that are a shoe in for the merge, and this could be a problem some time in the future. But for now, I want to hold Frog as a player close to me for a bit - a shield for later, yes? These people are notably positive on Frog: - Mongoose - Moth- Butterfly These people are slightly positive on Frog: - Hedgehog - Capybara These people are notably negative on Frog: - Sloth

Player: Moth Old: Moth seems to be this tribe's replacement for Rat and Bunny. Everyone's really into Moth! Not that I dislike this, but I'm pretty sure I can buddy up to Moth soon and play a similar game as to last tribe, where I sit behind the big social threat and don't look obvious. RIP Moth. These players are notably positive on Moth: - Frog - Mongoose - Sloth
These players are notably neutral on Moth: - Butterfly - Snowy Owl

Player: Snowy Owl Old: Overall, Snowy Owl's okay? He's not terribly active, nor is he very interesting. Definitely TC bait.
I feel closer to Snowy Owl after the mess that was that last TC. I still think they're TC bait, but they're TC bait I can work with. I can definitely also use their jittery nature against them in the future. These players are notably positive on Snowy Owl: - Sloth These players are slightly positive on Snowy Owl: - Hedgehog - Butterfly These players are notably negative on Snowy Owl: - Mongoose Suspected Alliances: - Snowy Owl/Sloth
