Not gonna do rounds anymore, because I'm not in the main game now. Since not much is happening here, I'll just talk about whatever in this thread.
Snowy still talks to me and that's cool. I like him, hopefully we can still chat after the game's over and our identities are revealed. I might even actually use Discord. Been a while since I had an internet friend.
My Xenoblade Chronicles playthrough is progressing well. My third time playing it, and I love it, one of my favorite games. I'm up to the start of Valak Mountain at this point.
My other pet task is manually changing the Football Manager 18 database to update player attributes to later versions' values. Why not just play those later versions, you ask? Because the match engine in those versions sucks. I hate it. FM18 has its own issues but they're a lot less bad. It's a ton of work but I find it strangely soothing and fun to make these thousands of changes. On a related note, I hate how the Spanish researchers seem to never fill out anyone's personality attributes outside the very top teams. Players with 300 league appearances with completely random professionalism and determination? Nonsense! Even worse is when they just lazily leave a bunch of real match-affecting attributes unset. Italy and France have by far the best researchers, followed by England and Germany. /rant

My dog probably has a UTI so she needs to see a vet, but we call every clinic near us and they all say they can't get her in until the end of May! Wtf, how is everything so busy? Are they on a two-dog per day limit or something? It makes me angry, my dog's in pain and needs some medicine.
On the bright side, people are starting to actually talk on extinction now, so I should be getting engaged in the game again.

We managed to find a time today! Only issue: 6-8 hour wait (seriously, no exaggeration), and it's an hour away, and thus the time will be from 5 to 7 AM. My mom and sister went to go do that, and I took my sister's spot watching my niece until her parents got back home. I should really be asleep now, but instead I'm posting on the internet.

My dog officially has her antibiotic meds now, along with some new pain medicine for her bad knees to boot. I'm glad we got it sorted out.
In game talk, Seal, Snowy and I have made an EoE alliance. I'm cool with that, at the very least I know Snowy won't screw me and I don't think Seal will. Butterfly is the vote because Hedgehog is sadly immune.
Capybara won immunity in the real game, so they'll have to vote out a player that's actually around. Wouldn't be too surprised to see Cat join us, but could potentially be anyone.

Predictably Butterfly has come and asked me to form a 3-player alliance with them and Snowy as well. I'm kind of inclined to still vote them out, because I think they're better connected and more dangerous than Seal is, especially for winning immunity down here. I would so 100% vote Hedgehog here but she's immune, so it's up to me and Snowy to decide... unless the others decide to break us up, which is very possible and would probably be their best move. I just hope they don't do it because if they decide to, we're both donezo. Alas, everyone in the game knows that Snowy and I are tight, and that's going to hurt us. Another lesson for next time.

Officially we're all doing Butterfly, even Hedgehog. We'll see. I don't expect Seal to flip on us, because I don't think he's close with Hedgehog or Butterfly. If he does, then my fault for being too obvious about my allegiance to Snowy and being too threatening.
Who's joining us? My guesses are Cat or Frog. Cat would be cool to see, Frog not so much. Hedgehog clearly isn't a fan of him either, so he'd need immunity to survive 100%.

Sorry Butterfly, nothing against you but I think Seal is just more predictable and loyal than you, so I'd rather have him around in this tiny tribe.

Oh god the apocalypse of awkward is here, Frog has arrived. Great. The fun 'conversation' begins again.

Apparently my name had been out there before the tribal I went, which doesn't surprise me. What does is that it was because I was 'inflexible' according to Frog... considering I was willing to vote like anyone but my closest allies, I don't know how that happens. But I see no reason for him to lie to me now that we're both in limbo, unless lying is fun for him. Whatever. He also said that my stuff was 'leaked...' I wonder who it might have been doing the leaking, Mr. self-admitted overallianced Frog?
Basically the news flash here is that one close ally isn't enough, which should surprise nobody yet I failed to get more than one.

So 21 was enough to win after all, cool. And Snowy is safe, even cooler! Now we have to decide whether to keep Hedgehog or Seal. Hedgehog cares more and deserves to stay in that respect, but Seal is 100% easier to control than she is. Plus, I feel like Hedgehog is better at most challenges than Seal, meaning keeping Seal might improve my odds of getting back into the game.
Hedgehog has made an appeal to me and Snowy, asking to stay, and nothing from Seal yet (though timezones and only 40 mins after deadline). I did agree to work with Seal, but... I'm not sure. Keeping less deserving players just because they're weaker makes me feel bad for the person who loses out.
For the main game, consensus down here was that Rat was the likely boot as they Safety w/o Powered last time, but them being immune makes things interesting! Could just be the last straggler in Capybara, or someone could use him and get out a power player. And I get to message someone at some point; not sure what I'm gonna do with it.

Well, that was unexpected. Not only is Rat not here, but it's Bunny and Hedgehog is dead for real despite what I had planned! That's not the worst thing, but she might be suspicious that I planned it all along but really, I didn't want her gone here.

Never mind, there was a votecount error. Thought Snowy flipped on me for a bit!
Still a surprise to see Bunny down here.

Don't plan on making it a habit of not doing challenges, just lost track of time the last few days. Thankfully it was only a reward challenge.
I'm guessing Bunny gave the info to Hedgehog if he gave it to anyone, considering he's told me he'd like Frog to go and I don't think he cares much for Snowy Owl.
We don't have a tribal right now, do we? If not, then we're going up to six next time. I have faith that Snowy, Hedgehog, and Bunny would rather keep me than Frog at least, so if there's a tribal I should be ok. If it's a challenge instead, then we'll see.

Challenge was tough, but I'm pretty sure I got it right in the end. My time sucked though, so probably not immune.
Lion said the power alliance is, apparently, Capybara/Cat/Eagle? Because Eagle wants to lose, says Lion? I've been out for so long I have no idea who's responsible for what, so their jury speeches are going to be necessary for me to know what's going on in this game. I guess Rat and Kestrel are a pair, and so are Caty-bara, with Eagle as the decider between them? And then one of us returns to make it F5 again afterwards, I assume. Maybe more than one returns, but that seems wacky.
Even if I return I feel like my chances would be super slim to win now due to being absent for almost the whole merge, and me not being too effective even when I was still around. So I won't be heartbroken if I don't make it back, but I'll still try my best.
