"Kestrel, I believe you did need to win one of those two challenges to make it here, and congratulations on doing so." "I know you were for a while considering what you needed to do to be in that 'taken to end' slot at firemaking. How important was that you? And do you feel there was a path you could have taken which would have given you this slot?" 100%. Whether that was true before snowy posted in public, I'm less sure off, but I was very unsure of my immunity skills - even though I'm really proud of those run of six challenges at once. However, if the make up of like f6 would've been different, and someone took capy, I believed the final firemaking was between me and cat, I did feel fairly confident that I could win that - I'd been 'fine' at challenges, cat had been weak at places. I think rat staying in would have made that more likely, or potentially bunny - or you, before snowy, I believe you were considering it. However, for a while I was relying on the fact that I could practise the fire making challenge when capy and cat couldn't - it's just a shame it was busted!

Alright, I have a question here for everyone as well:
What was your weakest point in the game, and how did you overcome it?

I kinda answered this in my response to Leo but I would say the initial Herbivora swap. Being on a tribe with Frog who I had probably had the weakest relationship with and then being in the minority and immediately hearing my name floating about. After surviving that I had hope that I could survive not only on Herbivora but make it further. And I think that initially happening prepped me for hearing and seeing my name at the merge.

The hologram flickers back into life, the Eagle narrowing its eyes at something only it can see.
"I see two of what I can only assume to be agents of ALPHA-SEVEN approaching armed with a bucket. I am monitoring their movements closely."
It pauses.
"Speaking of being armed with things; there was an auction in this game. To each of you - how many items in the auction were you able to identify, and figure out who held them? Similarly with items being sent from EoE; how many did you find out about?"
"Along similar lines, the idol from the merge never appeared, so was always a threat. How did you each play around the possibility of this, or other unknown items, potentially popping up and changing the course of the game?"
The Eagle jumps back.
"The ALPHA-SEVEN operatives have breached this cage I am being kept in. I must now depart to fight for my life. Good luck, friends."
The Eagle's hologram disappears, but the sound stays connected long enough to pick up a whole lot of squawking and a voice saying 'nononono calm down we're just bringing you fish! AAAAAAAAA'

Alright, I have a question here for everyone as well: What was your weakest point in the game, and how did you overcome it?My weakest point was when Leopard Seal was voted out. I talk about this in Leopard Seal's question but I felt the most alone during the aftermath and unsure of how the numbers would shake out. I know Leopard Seal and I had different playing styles, but it felt like if people were willing to vote him out, they may also be willing to vote me out since we were seen as being very close. I didn't lash out at anyone for this vote and identified people I could work with for future votes. I had a lot of trust in the heart of the cards. There are many times I got very lucky to be here and I was able to utilize each occurrence to the best of my ability. It was such a fortunate thing that the tribes were drafted in that way and I knew Frog would most likely be okay due to Capybara's double vote. This took out Hedgehog and suddenly I felt much better about the numbers.

How did you each play around the possibility of this, or other unknown items, potentially popping up and changing the course of the game?" "Hi Eagle! I knew a couple things but probably not as many as Kestrel! I knew Leopard Seal had the fake idol and that he wanted to give it to Lion. I knew Frog had an advantage for a challenge. I found out about both Capybara's double votes. In terms of other items, Leopard Seal told me that Sloth had the idol, you and Leopard Seal had 2/3 challenge advantages." "Rat and I briefly talked about the item he was sent but after he had already used it. I don't think I found out about too many items from EoE. That's something I'm looking forward to learning more about once the game is over." "It's so weird the idol never appeared. I couldn't worry too much about items I didn't know about. We rarely had enough numbers to split the vote for idol fears. Items were definitely not my strong suit."

Probably a low stakes question for everyone, but what was y'alls biggest regret about the game? I.E if you could go back and change one thing that YOU did what would it be? Could be a single PM, could be an entire round, could be something else entirely?

Hi Rat! I really don’t have too many regrets about what happened in this game. I do regret that I wasn’t honest with you when you were leaving. I do feel like I owed you that courtesy and if I could go back, I would’ve handled your and Bunny’s exits differently.

AAAAAAAAA' Regarding items and advantages Sloth told me that they found the idol at the same time as Leo but had won the coin toss. Frog told me about his idol, I got the extra vote advantages myself. I knew about Leos fake idol that they gave to Lion. We still don't really know who has the .5 jury vote, at least I'm not sure. I think if anyone would have had the idol it would have been Frog, those puzzles were very difficult and puzzles aren't necessarily my thing. We did play around that as a group when we voted out Bunny but other than that I don't think it really happened (I know you threw a vote at Lion when Frog was voted out to potentially avoid that from happening)

Could be a single PM, could be an entire round, could be something else entirely? I was trying to think through this one, I really don't know. I'm wondering how different the game would have ended up if I had done a little bit better at Jeopardy and we had won the first challenge. I think that would have given us more power and Flapjack would probably still be around which would have changed the game. I really can't think of much else. I don't apologize for any of the plays that I did because they got me here to the end.

Alright, I have a question here for everyone as well: What was your weakest point in the game, and how did you overcome it?I answered this emotionally to rat, so let's talk strategy. Hilariously, you are a key player in both, because obviously it was Mamalia. Being voted out on that tribe felt like a real possiblity and it was especially a 'good choice on paper' for you. Those PM's I sent to you and bunny after the deadline I feel were key in solidifying a real relationship with you both. You weren't a lot of respect from me that tribal because of how you handled a decision that I think you know left you in a weaker spot, while benefiting me/bunny more. Obviously you didn't need to be too worried about the impact that vote had on your game, but I'm really proud of getting out of that tribe not only alive, but with solid relationships - without those solid relationships I'm not sure butterfly volunteers for the fitness plan, for example, and the whole entry into merge for everyone looks a lot different..

The Eagle's hologram disappears, but the sound stays connected long enough to pick up a whole lot of squawking and a voice saying 'nononono calm down we're just bringing you fish! AAAAAAAAA' I knew where the original idol was, even though we were all too late! That was through a clue I found, a clue you found and shared and some info moth shared about the members list. I then had this confirmed by frog. I knew about the fake idol, I knew who didn't have the jury vote (lol - it went to not!frog for more than 3 acorns), I knew where 2/3 of the eating challenge advantages were and what they were used for, I knew about frogs challenge advantage, and the advantage he used in the dog tribal. Capy's double vote in the bunny/lion Tc was the one that was big news to me, and of course we discussed it anyway. As always, we shared information to a potentially ridiculously bad game play degree, but I did keep one or two things back. We both know we kept each other in a fantastic position. I found out about safety without power from you, but about the edge from lion/rat and you in the space of half an hour. I found out what the f4 challenge would be, which I knew rat knew too, but I think was news to you? I think because I had connections with various groups, there was always the chance that player X might use an item, but players y might go home...and that player y was also basically a fine choice, so I never felt I had to play around items in that way, although we did split the votes occasionally by clicking one random core somewhere.

Could be a single PM, could be an entire round, could be something else entirely? being really 'woulda shoulda coulda', that's probably about trying to change my relationship with snowy and butterfly in the merge, but I think it's a hiding to nothing anyway. So, practically and boringly, it's confirming to you and lion you were going. I clearly didn't do it like I thought I did, and it upset you and I'm sorry. I don't want to come across as pandering to you, but your question about it really surprised me and I realise the fault had to be on my end. So, that. I hope you know me well enough to tell I'm genuine.
