Although now that I'm thinking about it, for the PD FIC you had a logic puzzle, but all three finalists got it wrong, so you went to who had the most correct. So I could reasonably see someone thinking that you would do that here

It turns out that Snowy still would have won by a margin of a few seconds, but still.

I'm glad it didn't matter. Still, it probably would be good to be explicit about things like that in the rules since it was a bit ambiguous. Like Hedgehog submitted the answer knowing it was probably wrong because of how long they'd taken, so they must have thought a wrong answer had some chance to advance still.

Also with Snowy Owl entering the game officially...wow is this Jury Terrestria-heavy! The biggest tribe coming into merge and now there are none of them in the game.

I'm so happy for and proud of the Eagle tbh. He's played so well, and I've never stopped believing in him. Even if he goes next, he has so much to be proud of. People better learn to stop underestimating those charismatic gimmickers! I feel like it's a proven strategy at this point for a very social player to adopt a gimmick in order to change the way in which they're social. When you have a fun gimmick like that, I really do think that people mentally write you off, and then all of a sudden you're at F5, F4 and even F3. i do like eagle a lot but the thing is that he doesn't really have the self awareness that's sort of crucial at these stages in the game. taking out lion and rat back to back was a really bad move for him because now he's the center of attention and will probably be on the block if he doesn't win immunity. if he does win immunity i imagine that it will come down to cat vs. kestrel because who wouldn't want to take capy and snowy owl to the end?

Oh I agree, if Eagle could have gotten the votes to take at least one of them further, he probably should have. Although the Rat vote is a bit more complicated since from his point of view, there was a possibility that he was already at F4, which in this game involves firemaking, and I do think Rat was the biggest challenge threat in the game, so if his goal was just to win out, then getting rid of Rat was defensible.
I don't know if I'd say he doesn't have self-awareness, because he does, he acknowledged the benefits of keeping Lion especially for that very reason, and that was why for example he made the vote Bunny instead of Lion. But I don't know if he keeps that awareness in the fore of his mind at all times, because it's an uncomfortable reality to face. And also tbh, last round once Kestrel, Capy and Cat decided they wanted Rat out, realistically what was Eagle going to do? I guess you can always push harder, but I'm not even sure keeping Rat was the right move. Rat was talking in his confessional about giving up Immunity to face Eagle in firemaking.
So I think Eagle has moments of lucidity, and hell he was even told by Kestrel that he was too big a threat to take to the end, but he still is a bit naive in how he believes that people will let him stay around even when that is clearly not in their best interest and he knows it and they know it and really he even knows that they know.
I'm curious to know if Eagle would have been voted out last round if he didn't have Immunity.

Also I would like to see Kestrel, Cat, and Eagle take out Snowy Owl or Capy and prioritizing getting to the end over getting to the end with a slam-dunk win, so I don't think that's 100% off the cards. We'll have to see.

I'm curious to know if Eagle would have been voted out last round if he didn't have Immunity. I doubt it. It didn't even cross Rat, Cat or Capy's minds to take out Kestrel. Maybe Rat would have pushed for Eagle, but I don't see Cat and Capy going along with it.

Like Hedgehog submitted the answer knowing it was probably wrong because of how long they'd taken, so they must have thought a wrong answer had some chance to advance still. I wonder if there should be more of a designated place for LSG game reviewer recruitment like there is for mafia stuff, bc I think quality reviewing is what helps most with this type of thing.

And Snowy Owl is saying that Cat is a kingpin, Eagle is a weaker Kestrel, and they want to work with Eagle. Can anything stop Eagle?

i hope this doesnt turn into kestrel going. eagle seems pretty against that though, so that helps.

After all the worries about Aquatica and Terrestria unity, the game is now majority Aeria and no one cares.
