This is Our Tribal Council Now/Confessionals

Day 14
"moya"

- "So despite a last minute fear of Lex maybe having an idol after he put one and one together and confronted Linus about it, the vote went just as planned, with Nathan self-voting which despite it being reasonable is still a black mark on his record this season. Believe me, I self-voted once in Japan it cemented the jury's hatred for me, but then again Nathan's self-vote wasn't as consequential as mine back then. But hey, Nathan has been getting a bit of a free ride, so anything that starts to hinder his game is great for me, since I don't want him around long-term if after all I am going to play with Dani and Linus. Talking about those two, those two and Zach, the Baby Daddies alliance, I feel like that last tribal we really bonded due to the actual disagreements and paranoias we experienced, so that alliance might ACTUALLY be gaining traction after all.

One of the arguements that I ended up using to get my way with the Lex vote was that we might have a swap, and guess what? I was RIGHT! So even though I might've pushed hard, Zach and Linus can't hold it against me now because we are probably going to need Mihai as a number now that Dani is off in the other tribe. In this tribe I actually might feel TOO good because I have my two other Baby Daddies, Vivor who basically gifted me my idol, Mihai who owes me big time TWICE, Rob who despite being somewhat lacklustre first impressions was allied with Dani, and Aro who is an inactive that I could boot easily. However, Vivor is SO hated by my alliance because apparently he really is a sweetheart, has been instantly targeted by Zach, who Vivor already wasn't allied with all the way back to OG Ouani. So whilst I felt that I wanted to flip to Vivor's side come merge, there might be no Vivor side because dude is screwed in this tribe, and it might be a good way to get people to stop gossiping about the Ouani idol if the idol is ""voted out"" with Vivor in a blindside.

Talking about idols, I might be able to get a second idol in this new Moya tribe, since I have the hunch that it was brought back to replace Ouani simply so that its idol could be found, since well, it'd make sense if it wasn't found since Moya did suck at challenges, had very messy and inactive players, and only got a clue 24 hours before the swap. I am getting both Zach and Vivor to give me their guesses and giving them mine, haven't even started listing them down because I am not all too eager to find it unless I can set up a good alibi as to why I don't have it (like I did with the Ouani idol). The perfect alibi would be that Linus has it since he does have the original clue and like previous guesses from his OG tribe, but I think I might not be able to beat him out to getting it at all, and it's annoying since I don't think that with Vivor's power crumbling with this swap that I'll be able to take Linus out in an effective manner in the merge. I kind of am bored of playing safe right now, but with this tribe set up I feel like that's the way to go, unless I manage to convince my allies that SOMEHOW Aro is the better boot for being inactive (not that is something appealing to Zach and Linus who probably want to clear out challenge threats). Obviously, I could use the argument that Vivor is a meat shield, but trying to protect Vivor at all might be shady as fuck so I just need to double down on either saving Vivor or backstabbing him hard. If I do save him I definitely don't want it to be a trend, because I already saved Mihai's ass in two votes, and if I now gotta save Vivor because he has been nasty to people I'm gonna be annoyed. Like it's as if I am running a charity for pariahs or something at this point."

Day 15
"moya"

- "This challenge is ABSOLUTE hell, it is so fucking hard and I feel really useless, but after my last few challenge performances I am frankly happy because I think that NOBODY is going to think I am a challenge threat after the fact that I put so many hours into challenges and still do mediocre at best. Like I might actually not be a challenge beast after all lmao, but I am still going to probably deflect using the meatshields in the merge so that the ""threats"" can take out each other, I just need to not look shady and sus people out. I definitely don't want to be like Vivor and Linus and get 100 in what is most likely one of the last tribal immunities, so the fact that I physically can't even get to 25 is actually a great alibi for throwing a challenge explicitly through my inborn incompetence at tapping a ball.

Strategy wise, Mihai is on thin fucking ice because he doesn't talk to me after I saved him, which is not making me feel great and whilst I don't mind having somebody that owes me, I don't want an inactive sheep out of basic principles. I have the hunch that Vivor and Linus might actually get along, which is scary, because they are both MASSIVE threats, but at the same time it might be good for me since Vivor and Linus both making merge would potentially allow for a ""take down the goliaths"" early merge where I mist everybody away from my existence with Nathan and Grace being potential collaterals in that war that'd probably benefit me longterm. I think that if I trigger the thought train for Linus so he comes to the conclusion that Vivor might take the attention off him come merge. Oh also I've got the hunch that Linus has the idol for Moya already, like just statistically speaking the guy must have it, so he might want to keep the other person that has the idol (according to my lies) just to cover his own ass.

Ngl my mental health hasn't been doing great the past few days so I haven't been as into in this game as I usually am, but I hope to rebound and get back at it sooner than later. I also need to actually have to start planning who I want to play WITH because so far I've pretty much wanted to get out everybody, which I will do eventually if I am going to win this, but some should take preference over others. I definitely want to take out all of those who are question marks for me, such as Tobi, Rob and Drew, because from my experience in Resurrection, you literally can't magically bond with people who you haven't been in a tribe with all game long. But yeah, I need to figure my shit out, I might make a diagram to go with my little journal."

Day 16
"moya"

- "so ill be goin over the past like, 3 days here. idk how long itll be but its a thing cause ive been slackin here we go

So goin back to Ouani, we ended up killing lex cause joan and dani (mostly joan tbh) just couldnt handle not havin their way. Honestly, i dont blame them, it was the smarter move for them. Lex trusted Linus, Nathan and I more than Mihai does, and Mihai trusts them more than Lex did. Joan even admitted that in our baby daddies chat, but we had to cut him and here we now are.

So we swap and im left with a group of 6 bois. lets break em down

Linus - is one of the very few ppl i truly trust in this game. Glad hes here Aro - same with linus, but honestly prob stronger. I missed this boy. Mihai - coulda been better, coulda been worse. I dont think hell target me yet but hell target my allies for sure Rob - Dani mentioned that we could trust Rob, but I am watching him closely. More on him later Joan - Ive had the misfortune of being with Joan for the entirety of this game. Despite being in alliances with him, sharing idol clues, and working closely with him, i still dont trust him. hes got way too many allies and connections in this game and it scares me. His unwillingness to part with even one of them is a big red flag too. Alex - I never trusted Alex from the get go and that hasnt changed with time. I found out Alex was gonna target me if we didnt swap because he felt I was playing too hard. I dont want him in this game anymore, plus hes deffo got an idol in his pocket and i do not like that one bit.

So we get to the chall and i flop TERRIBLY but linus and alex are actual gremlins so they just shut it out and get us a dub. Cool, I was afraid of TC anyway. I am slightly worried for Nathan and Grace, but the rest I couldnt give two shits about.

When we first got to these tribes i kinda jumped the gun targeting alex. dani was mentioning how she wanted him gone before and i kinda just thought that we would have the same energy, but Joan is super adamant to vote for vivor, even going as far as throwing mihais inactivity under the bus, something i may use against him should we lose. Joan also said that Alex told him Aro had gone inactive, but at the same time Alex is trying to make an alliance of himself, Aro, Rob and Mihai. Idk which thing is real or fake (id say the alliance is fake, Alex is deffo gunning for me/aro/linus, not me/linus/joan) but i digress. Idk why Joan doesnt see that blindsiding Vivor isnt the best move for his game. It flushes an idol, it gets rid of another yellow, reducing the target on his back, it keeps dani and her web of connections happy, and it takes power from andrea and shit so they need to scramble for new allies, but i think joan is just looking out for quantity over quality, and it WILL bite him in the ass in the end. hes gonna have to burn people and its better to start before jury cause those people may hold grudges and be the reason he comes in 2nd or 3rd place in the ftc vote.

Aro and I and Linus and i have seperately begun searching for the idol, cause we deffo need to get it on our side. im also gonna make a chat for the three of us so we can telegraph how were gonna take vivor down. dude needs to go, yesterday.

Also, Rob like, randomly offered me an alliance, saying that it would be unexpected because weve only been together for one tribal phase, and that we can do whats best for us once merge hits and we start getting pulled seperate ways. It makes me not want to take rob out first, but its also super sketchy. Rumor is he was very Wanani 2.0 strong going into the swap, and i worry that hes just trying to get me to say a name (aro or alex) so he can go back to them and use it as fuel for vivor to work a way to get me out. i rly do think hes just being a spy rn. Maybe if i mention i was working with dani to him he'll be more transparent? Idk its tough. this is a really hard dynamic to sift thru and im rly not living for it. Im getting worried about my own personal longevity in this season because theres so many webs of allies and enemies that i think im just gonna end up on the outs of em and become a boot.

i see it this way

Linus/Drew/Nathan/Aromal/Zach is a faction

Joan/Dani/Rob/Mihai/Agusto is a faction

Alex/Andrea/Grace are kinda up in the open. No idea where Tobi lies. Alex and Andrea are prob a package deal, but nobody wants alex except joan, whos closest ally HATES him. so MAYBE its NOT a good idea to kill vivor? maybe killing rob is smarter? idk its so tricky. i want vivor gone cause i want his idol gone mostly.

I do think i could pull grace, but she has some beef with linus from out of game stuff and idk if shes closer with vivor or joan than i am and its hard. Ill talk to aro about where the girls lied.

This got rambly im sorry but i just wanted to try and recap all i could. slap me w that boring gamebot CPtoneless3/4 baybee uwu"

"wanani"

- "Sooooo the day after day 100 and how else do I celebrate it than at tribal lmfao!? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I've attended the most tribals of anyone this season thus far. And holy crap am I tired of it! Luckily though my early paranoia seems to have been for naught as I think I might be able to avoid getting votes tonight again.

Seems like the targets are lining up to be Augusto and Andrea. Now Dani threw out Augustos name because she fears that he's too social and too close with everyone - which uh has me a lil shook cause I'm intentionally trying to do the exact same thing so now it's making me wonder if people are starting to see me as transparently playing the middle.

And then we have Andrea. This is the first time I've ever talked to andrea, been on a tribe with her, anything. So while it sucks right now I'd say I'm leaning to vote her because of her general lack of activity this round and also cause of challenge performance. Like we actually don't know how long we'll be stuck in this tribe format, so I'd rather we not shoot ourselves in the foot by keeping bad performers every round. Thankfully for me, it seems other people are also down with this idea and if all goes according to plan I'll still be here sitting pretty tomorrow. "

"moya"

- I didn't make any relevant shit today, didn't even guess for the idol bc my mind has been a bit out there, but I just organised a tribal council raid because people don't answer their tribal questions ever, and why did I do that? idk im fun and quirky and hilarious and I want to die

"moya"

- ANNIHILATION DAY 16

"moya"

- This is our Tribal Council now bitches

"wanani"

- "ALRIGHT SO THIS WEEEK STARTED OFF.. super stressful for me because as soon as I saw the tribe swap, felt like I was fucked from the getgo. I just assumed id be the one who left... but then andrea ended up being shit at challenges and everything else BFNSKFKWLFKNRK

i dont like drew a whole lot. Nice guy IRL but i wanna vote him out Asap. I also think i may need to strike at Augusto as soon as i can as well, as ive realized just how social he is with EVERYBODY. He is a huge social threat and im worried about letti g him make merge.

Andrea leaving isnt a big deal to me. She was a girl yes but i mean. If ur inactive ur inactive - there was no better option :/ "
