Dog's finally out! And more exciting news: unless my eyes deceive me, it's merge time baby!
Goal one met! Now to aim higher.

So I solved the jigsaw puzzle in about 9 minutes but then realized I had no idea what to do with the weird East thing, so I exited the page. Someone else is getting that idol, sadly.

Strong relationships that I know of:
Seal - Cat: They say they aren't too close, which is maybe possible considering their tribals were largely simple. But I'll believe it when they vote differently from each other. Together the whole game, on good terms, probably a lot of trust there.
Lion - Hedgehog: They're super tight and suggesting a move against one to the other is a surefire way to make disasters happen. This is kind of a problem because I trust Lion a lot more than Hedgehog.
Butterfly - Bunny: Butterfly was willing to let himself be the vote rather than vote out Bunny. That says a lot I think, and I'd imagine that Bunny would repay that debt.
People that I feel close to and trust:
{Me, Spectators}
{Snowy Owl}
{Butterfly, Lion}
{Bunny, Seal, Cat, Hedgehog}
{Rat, Frog, Capybara}
{Eagle, Kestrel}

Replying before I forget again: I promise this confessional will be less boring once the merge hits... this game's been going like 3 weeks now and I still feel like I've barely done Survivor things. But if the situation doesn't call for crazy shit, I'm not going to do crazy shit. You did have a successful idol play! That's a pretty Survivory thing. Most people never get one of those. A very good point, and there are a lot of people in this game that had it worse than me and are now out. I should count my blessings instead of complaining, and I intend to going forward! |

Developments/musings:
Bunny would be cool working with me, butterfly, and Snowy, and mutually all around that foursome. That seems pretty solid, except that Bunny most likely prefers Butterfly at this point to me... I would trust Lion a little more but he'd probably leak any plans to Hedgehog, unless we bring her in too. Whatever the permutation we go with, I need to become the number 1 of more people than just Snowy (assuming he's honest and I am in fact his #1).
Capybara isn't strongly connected with most people from what I can tell. He could end up a target, but it might be worth trying to cultivate him as an ally and bring him along. If I pull strings to save him (should he be targeted this tribal) would make him trust me, but it could backfire in multiple ways: I could overplay and go home instead, or that bond becomes too obvious and my stock falls for that reason.
I just don't know what it is with Frog, he's just hard for me to talk to. The conversation just seems to die out every few messages. I can't tell if he secretly doesn't like me or if his posting style just makes me think so.
Aaaand challenge-wise I got the snake. Great. The 'may' in 'may attack' makes it a lot harder for me to win. From what I can tell I need the predators to all do well for a long time so the body count is high. Not being able to force kills on myself means I have little agency, aside from giving out information to predators. Hey, I'm a snake, it's what I do.

So eagle is apparently a secret agent. Makes sense, they're certainly the most James Bond-y animal here, but still hilarious. Still weird being pretty much the last person to learn this because of how the swaps worked out though!
For the challenge I claimed that I'm the Chameleon; same main habitat, and it's not protected or synergetic with anything else, so very possibly will get eaten - only for it to backfire. That said I would hope the carnivores don't try to eat me too early, I need them alive for a while to win.
Lastly, Hedgehog told me that Rat and Eagle are something of a power couple. If so, they could be a nice bogeyman to rally people against.

Now this is funny, Hedgehog is blatantly softing being the snake so she's probably really the chameleon, and we've done a roleswap since my plan was fakeclaim chameleon.

Well as long as nobody had the disease itself, you're fine anyway, however much the news is reporting on people managing to catch it despite having had the vaccines. Which I think was like one person out of how ever many millions have had the vaccine. Okay that's more rural than me, I think our deliveries will come every two days, not that I'll be able to get the vaccine in my home town anyway, I assume when I'm able to get it it'll be a 15 minute drive away, or at least I hope I'll be able to get it there, depends on where gets booked. I haven't worked out where the vaccine sites are going to be yet, because I don't feel like trying to jump through loopholes to try and get it early. I think it'll be going into the bank to save for something else. It's just surprising that it happened like that, I fully expected to have to pay some excess or something on getting the small repairs done to the pergola, but I guess that was just the last time I actually bothered an insurance company was in regards to the car, which even that would have been 10 years ago. Insurance feels like some a high spend when you never actually use it. Like, this is how talking to Frog looks. I honest to God don't know where to go after this, and he does this every time! I only have so many topics to bring up man, my life isn't that interesting and everyone is playing stuff close to their chest game-wise. Seal tells me that, while he gets along well with Frog, there are at least some other people that have a hard time with him. So at least I'm not alone, but I wish I knew their secret of talking. In other news, I'm feeling more and more connection to Bunny and Kestrel as time goes on, and less with Frog and Capybara. I still don't know if I exactly trust Bunny and Kestrel too much, but working with them at least feels better than alternatives, particularly Bunny. Possible alliances for me all have a common thread of [Me, Lion, Snowy, Butterfly], the differences being who else is in. It's complicated by the fact that I'm convinced Hedgehog/Lion and Cat/Seal pairs are real, so it's hard to have one involved without the other. We could make a seven with the two pairs, but then there's the risk of the pairs teaming up to get us three unpaired people out at the end. The solution would be to double-cross one pair before we hit seven. I think that seven would be a good move, because I think all of them legitimately want to work with me. Disorganized thoughts but I blame it on it being past midnight. |

Need 5 more deaths in 2 more rounds; immunity is within reach. Feels kind of strange though, given that I really didn't actually do much of anything but could still win. Not that the snake role has all that much agency, but hey. Roleswapping with Hedgehog has been fun.
Lion tells me he feels like he doesn't need a majority for this round, after I told him who I felt we could form a majority with. Kind of a red flag there, hopefully he still trusts me... either he doesn't want to work with me, or he doesn't want to work with someone in my 'list' and doesn't want to tell me so. Neither is very good.
He also has suggested that he's heard murmurs of people targeting Seal due to him not being very active. Could be true, or could be manipulation... maybe he just wants to remove a pair right away, but he doesn't realize that he and Hedgehog are I think seen as a pair as well. Keeping another one around might keep the target off of himself for a while.

Lion seems... upset... that he lost because the rules weren't clear to him. I can't put myself in his shoes because I had accepted that winning was out of my hands from the minute I got the snake role, I just hope he doesn't say anything dumb or unfair to the mods. He has a point that the phrasing was ambiguous, but if he cared so much about getting immunity why didn't he ask the mods for clarification?
