Have I shared how much Dog ends up getting talked about in my messages yet? I think I probably did, can he be voted out so I can move on with not having to discuss the abilities of someone I haven't even met? What is the legend of Dog that you are hearing?

But I guess at least that means I'm not the worst communicator still in the game? Not that I think I ever have been this game. I'm liked etc. It'll just be what can I actually do with the information? Right now I'm still trying to stay UTR, but at the same time I'm probably speeding?

He plays by convincing people to quit by struggling to have conversations.

I assume they're actually a new player that hasn't read and understood the new player's guide to survivor. They're probably actually quite capable of doing well if they're able to learn to communicate. But that might just be my belief that all humans are capable of being good. It is that conviction that gets me back into the players seat every so often despite also being the reason I struggle with actually making moves to progress my game.
The way I see them is they're playing here like how I play non-anon games. Well probably sending out more messages than me in non-anon games, maybe just the marathon ones.

The other 4 players I'm yet to meet I know very little about; Krestel, Rat and Bunny have been classified away as "average", and Eagle is fun with its post restriction, which can be seen in public.
Dog in public is probably the extent of his PMs as well though

I think most of my conversation topics at the moment consist of either talking about past challenges or Dog.
This is worrying me.

I am hoping to turn them all into discussing Owl sending Cat just gifs over the first day(s) of this tribe. I don't know how this is better.
Who has my random topic of crap to talk about? I think I miss Lion.

I believe I have probably set fire to my sloth bridge by trying too be too honest with him.
Just lock in tworking with him and lie! It's not that hard? It is?
But I also want to break apart Seal and Cat at the same time, so I am confusing myself. I don't know which of them I want to keep alive more, Seal is still the bigger threat.
Right now I'm parking my bus to align with Snowy Owl though.

okay stage one of managing to hide I have an idol complete tell everyone I have the challenge advantage and had a fake bid on the double vote
Make them focus on the semi-meaningless advantage.

So I guess it then asks how big a target have I put on my own back by mentioning that I got a prize.
Less than if I revealed the other one obviously.
Now watch me get voted out with the idol.
Thankfully we're not at tribal.

The mod note asking people to not talk about the fitness challenge will now make me worry that I'm going to be seen as a challenge threat with a challenge advantage, I shouldn't have told the entire tribe, and should have left it with the truth in being outbid on mystery box 3. Why did number 4 go for less? if one of them got the double vote here with a bid of 1 I'm going to laugh. But I never actually bid on it, so it doesn't matter.
Oh wait I was explaining why I'm not going to look like a challenge threat, not pondering the mysterious mystery boxes.
I've clearly revealed that I've been out hunting acorns and found a lot of them. I think I've now discussed those with everyone except Sloth.
But I did discuss the fitness challenge with sloth (after we'd won the challenge, so the fitness challenge isn't relevant for us anyway), and then went honest to god I scored 23k. They meanwhile managed to stop at 10k.
I think I had a few mentions before the auction results with owl and cat about it, but just in general terms that it was something that existed again and what that meant. And hopes and pleas with a generic result etc. But also that stems from it being a subject to talk about last time we had fitness challenges, where anglerfish revealed he did well at number two, and not being told to talk about it back then, although I had done mine at that stage, as you might as well do them before tribal, more room for the chance to make moves.

Why did I just go looking at the search function again for more acorns? they're no longer a thing! I even told myself that while putting in my search term of imgur selected all posts made my staff and starting to press tab
I never even found any of them using that method in the first place! I stumbled into the one hidden in the acorn announcement thread (which I think was the only one hidden on posts after I'd been trying to abuse that search option last time) because I just like rereading rules about stuff.

So what else have I been stupidly giving away?
I told Seal I had a fake alliance with Anglerfish, well it was only fake in that I didn't believe I could expend the amount of social captial actually needed to vote Cat out at the time. Possibly thrown in that I really like Lion to one of the people that haven't met him, and chucked a reference to hedgehog in the other. Butterfly my other apparently main member of that alliance doesn't get a mention, but that's because they haven't actually impressed me as much, I really feel like they formed that group because Frog was going places in terms of names that were being tossed up as being liked by everyone. It is simply amazing the amount of BS you can get away with if you've got the talent for being recognized in public. Why the hell I had I never actually done all this public stuff before? Like I know I like Eagle from their character play in public, and I received comments about some of my public posts early on in the game. Thank you mods for giving me a spam thread challenge 3 so I could post my spam somewhere other than the confessional. I have thought really hard about creating a new topic in the watering hole called "Frog needs a new spam thread", but I think that opportunity is gone by now, we've done like 5 more challenges since then. But that doesn't make me wish I'd acted on that impulse at the time. But my spam was little more than just saying spam, a few attempts to scream failure until it turned out to be true for reasons unrelated to me, and a few comments about rhymes or being nice to mods. I probably wouldn't have anything to play with in a new thread. So it's the confessional where I can freely debate with myself about acorns for me

I feel paranoid about leopard seal's relationship with me. They didn't respond while they were awake in the middle of the night for them. But I guess that's the thing, it was the middle of the night for them, so said paranoia is about nothing. There's no direct reason we need to continue chatting all night. It's not like I'm actually replying to all my messages the moment I get them. And I never will, the earliest I ever get to one is probably 20 minutes during non tribal council times. This tribe I've probably been working on roughly an hour. Which may be faster than in receiving them.
But that's also why (besides timezones) I never reach the high level of messages other people end up having by the end of the game.

I think my post count under my avatar might actually be higher than the amount of messages I've sent. (A quick addition of amount of all messages sent/received in my inbox is currently ~1,000)
