I really want to win this because I don't want to have to try to figure out who I can actually trust lolz.

Seems pretty universal right now for gecko. Apparently they've just been AFK with everyone. The only thing that's freaking me out is that I'm hearing the name SO loudly and SO universally. I don't want to overthink this but its hard not to be paranoid.

I feel like this vote is actually kind of a turning point in a really weird way (weird because its early) because if I'm still here I'll feel a little bit more trust towards the people who I actually have been working with loosely and maybe that starts turning into something a little more firm. I don't know, it feels like there's a lot of different ways to go and I'm hoping I choose a path that's reasonable.

This is the feeling I remember from Survivor. The sinking feeling that it's gunna be me lol. Do you have a specific reason you feel this way or is it more just of a general feeling/normal TC anxiety? |

Oh I think its just completely normal and unfounded anxiety. If I'm the name here I'm being totally blindsided for a reason that I don't comprehend at all.

Xoffy's Corner
Hey there, we're back again much earlier this time than I'm sure you(or frankly even I) expected! Maybe we'll make this an every round thing, we might have the budget for that. Either way, we very much appreciate your previous answers to our first questionnaire [insert player name here] and we've spent the time since thinking up even more personalized questions that are only just for you. Let's just dive in here, shall we?
1) You all put quite a lot of work into that first challenge, good work! But do you think that anybody in particular's performance has had any effect on how they're viewed in the tribe? Or does this not even enter into how you think about the game?
2) Animal Pen has entered their first tribal council, that sucks. How do you see the vote shaping up in this round? How safe do you feel at this TC? Do you feel that this vote will reveal anything about alliance lines and voting blocs, or do you think this vote will be more of a unanimous thing?
3) There are many different ways to play survivor, what sort of player are you? Are you the kind who plans out rounds in advance or are you the sort that takes each round as they come and figure it out then, or a mix of the two? Would you consider yourself to be more strategic or more social or something else entirely?
4) Music is often a thing that people find relatable and has a lot of meaning, pick a song that either represents you as a person or might be representative of how you plan to play this game.
Just 4 questions this time, the amount will vary according to many variables including the position of the moon and stars in conjunction with the state of the game and the amount of sleep I've had that day. Good luck with all of your endeavors here, insert player name here, we'll catch you again soon!

1) I don't think so in terms of negativity. I think we came up with a good strategy that gave us a higher than 50% chance to win and then the dice just didn't go our way. I've actually had people suggest to me that they think Ermine should be safe for this tribal because of how much they appreciate the math she did to set the strategy. For me personally it doesn't matter at all. Ermine is not on the block for me not because of anything challenge related but because she expressed interest in working with me and I'm happy to go forward with that. I'm all about strategy and not about tribe strength. We'll have a tribe swap at some point anyway.
2) I think everyone is sort of looking for an easy vote here. I could be surprised (and previous answers here show my anxiety on the subject) but I think it'll be predictable and at least mostly unanimous.
3) I'm definitely the latter. My overall strategy here is that I plan on working in a bunch of loose pairs and maybe triples to try to shift the game into a good place for me to react to anything that happens. I feel like I've already done a pretty good job of setting this up, as I think I have pretty good loose understandings with pika, elephant shrew, fennec and ermine, and we'll see where that goes. I think I'm definitely more of a strategic player than a social one, though obviously those are intertwined quite a bit. I'm trying to play up my social game more though because I think thats been a weak one for me in the past.
4) I think this would actually be too likely to reveal my identity to certain people so I'm gunna not.

Some conclusions I have as of right now.
I really would like to work with sand cat, I think the way we think really meshes well together. I am sort of defacto working with shrew and pika and I'm happy to continue that arrangement. I feel as if the way fennec interacted with me this tribal was pretty odd. They basically asked me who the vote was and then said they did it. So I'm really not sure what to make of it. Potential that my including them in strategy talk earlier when they said no one had done so yet was a strong play that got them to trust me. Possible they're lulling me into a false sense of security.
Ermine asked me if I would like to work together fairly early on but aside from some brief chatter about this vote we didn't really work together at all. Kind of feels like someone to keep my eye on going forward.
Capybara and Quokka are wild cards. I feel like they kept me at very arms length this tribal and I don't know if thats because they really thought things were simple or if its because they had other balls in the air. (possibly with each other?) Capybara has yet to say a single thing to me about strategy at all, mainly has just chatted about barnyard animals. Talking to Sand Cat feels like they're doing the same to her.
Human and slow loris are interesting. I get the impression that human is very experienced and they might be playing up the whole "oh there were too many people to talk to all at once" thing to seem like they're not. I feel like every conversation I've had with them I've given up more information than I've given, and although part of that is certainly a function of me HAVING more information, their questioning conversational style doesn't feel accidental and feels polished.
Slow Loris came back in to a vote which wasn't her after being AFK for the whole day with 20 minutes left and immediately told the target that they were the target which just seems like an utterly bizarre and perplexing play. I don't know what she hoped to accomplish there. I'm filing her under "maybe doesn't fully know what she's doing" and "might be a liability to any plan going forward. But as long as I know those things in advance I can use that. I need to feel out how she's feeling about her game and where things are going in the next few days.
