Hey Jessica, how's it going?

So, with tribe swap over and done with, I have some cool new questions for you to answer:

1. You ended up being ranked #1 for the old Mykines, got any thoughts on that?

2. You led off the tribe swap picking Cecilia. Why Cecilia?

3. You're reunited with Papa Smurf and Stacy. How do you feel about these two? And how do you feel about how your three new members?

4. Also, what do you think about how the tribes ended up shaking out?

Fuck everything. GOD DAMMIT! I'm fuming right now because I was set up so well with Mykines. Luckily I have kind of lucked out with the hand I've been dealt. Sure I wish I had Mookie or Cassandra since I was so close with them, but Papa Smurf and Stacy are both friendly with me and we've all ready made an alliance to ensure our safety. Nate is entirely new to this game, so he's an easy pull since he has barely any ties to Snivoy. JP is friendly and I'm sure I can befriend him pretty quickly, and Cecilia will probably gravitate to me since I'm the most social.

Being ranked first is terrifying. Obviously it's based off challenges, but it paints a huge target on my back. While in these small tribes I am clearly the one to keep, but int he merger I will be target #1 since I have clear prowess in challenges. My plan is to make friends, win challenges, and when we merge to reconnect with old tribemates in hope that I can simply glide to the end.

Cecilia was the best choice at the time. She was the highest ranked Snivoy member remaining, she nearly beat me at the puzzles (I beat her by 4 minutes) and she had the most posts on their team. She is clearly active and strong, so having her increases my chances to win ten-fold. While i do have instant distrust in her as a strategist, I believe I can someone get an advantage on her.

Everyone on my tribe is good and I'm sure we'll be fine no matter what happens, but I am worried about being an odd-woman out by simply being such an active, competitive player. I'm not stopping though, I will win no matter who tries to stop me.

Tribes being shaken up will be an annoyance for a short while, but I'm sure this is for the best. Now I don't have to worry about Cassandra plotting against me, my alliances being fake, or any other bullshit. I will miss conversations and I'm sure things could get very very bad, but for right now this is all a blessing in disguise. I have majority power, I have the strength, and my tribe is friendly. Wish me luck!

Going into our first IC in our new tribes, I've got to say I am very confident with my group's abilities to compete and prevail. More importantly than winning the IC, I have been talking with Cecilia, Nate, and JP and I feel pretty sure that even in the event of a TC I will not be sent packing. Honestly, I've spoken more with the old Snivoy members than with Papa or Stacy.

Obviously my plan is to keep Mykines people together...but if Papa and Stacy aren't the best players, I ain't against sending one of them out. Tonight's the night where activity and ability count towards who I feel more comfortable going forward with. I could choose Snivoy or Mykines, and either way I feel golden. (I am still keeping an eye out and am aware of how close Cecilia and JP are. I am not letting my guard down simply because I am confident)

I need you to assign one of the seven deadly sins to each of your tribemates. You cannot tell anyone on your tribe that you have done this nor can you reveal to them or hint in any way who you have given which sin. If you do it will result in an auto-penalty

Anger - This is the tribemate who has the lowest temper of anyone on the tribe. They are often volatile, and rarely judge situations fairly.
Envy - This is the tribemate who is the most jealous of other tribemates. They typically have low self esteem and long for the qualities of other tribemates.
Greed - This tribemate has no desire to look out for other's interests. They are the most selfish. They are likely to want the most alliances, yet value them the least.
Gluttony - This castmate is most likely the heaviest outside of the game. They can never eat enough food. They horde the food.
Pride - This tribemate thinks extremely highly of themselves. They believe they are smarter than everyone else on the tribe. They desire to be the best at everything
Lust - This is the tribemate that is most easily seduced by other tribemates. They are more gullible and easily manipulated.
Sloth - This is the laziest of all tribemates. Rarely making appearances unless prompted, they do not go out of their way to help the tribe.

As there are 6 tribemates and 7 sins, on eperson should not be assigned any sin. That is up to your discression as to which.

We'll ask that you do this honestly please. We will forbid all tribes from doing it alphabetically.

WE WON THE SECOND IMMUNITY CHALLENGE! I was worried that I had ruined everything and that my tribe wouldn't be able to figure out why I had placed each person for what they were. They seem okay with what happened and even better they dominated the other two teams. Mykind seems to be planning on getting Nate to work with us, and I'm almost sure we'll be good no matter what.

I need to get the HII, even if I don't need it right now, just to ensure no one else can get it. This upcoming hint is crucial to keeping myself safe and getting people I don't trust or value out of the game easier. The fact it is hidden makes everything much more terrifying, since any target could theoretically get it.

With the upcoming IC tonight, I felt it only fair to list my current feelings about the new Mykines. This team is leagues above the original Mykines. Who knew having less people would somehow make us stronger? They all seem very friendly and glad to be a part of the team, but it's obviously an act since no one would say how much they hated my choices or they hated this team since they'd make themselves a target.

The Mykind alliance is a strong alliance, and judging Stacy and Papa's activity: their only alliance. That means that if we lost I feel completely sure that we can all get 3 votes on someone.

Sandwich Justice Warriors consisting of myself and Cecilia is real, but unreliable. I want to work with Cecilia; she's an incredibly strong player who i know I can rely on. That being said, this alliance is more of a shield for myself than a partnership to bring her farther. Cecilia is too social, too active, and definitely too close with other members to be considered a long-term ally.

+Papa Smurf: Reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. His challenge ability is definitely so-so, but I feel pretty good with his loyalty. After all, he's not talking much to many people. He's a good choice to keep around, although he is somewhat weak.
+Stacy: Trustworthy, old-alliance mate, responsive. She isn't active enough that I feel she's bonded too much with anyone. She also is very clearly working with us. Her challenge ability is pretty high, especially since she was placed last on the Mykines list. I will try my best to take Stacy to the merge and hopefully reconnect BP.
+Nate: New to Faroe, friendly, questionable in terms of reliability. He's active, and he has no ties to old Snivoy. If we wanted to divide by tribe lines he would be the best bet to keep all original Mykines here. The issue is, I know for a fact he and Cecilia have been chatting and I worry that he may begin to align with her and JP to have a Snivoy majority. Best case scenario is he joins us and we can take out a Snivoy and have the majority.
+Cecilia: Active, wonderful woman, good at challenges. Exceptional player, she's definitely going to help us get far. I have faith that with her aid we can continually win challenges. However, she is close to JP as she has said and is active enough to form many bonds. I worry that she can keep herself strong and safe. I can't have her stay too long because the longer she is here the more at risk I am and Mykind is. She is most definitely a target of mine, but I don't want to make this attack until I can ensure her elimination. I want her to trust me until the knife hits her back.
+JP: Ehhhhhh he's the most attractive guy on the team? JP doesn't seem very active or important. Honestly, beyond his friendship with Cecilia, he doesn't really make much of an impact on me. In the event of a loss for Mykines, he would be the target. Overall the power of the tribe wouldn't be lessened too much, Mykind has majority, and Cecilia either doesn't trust me or HAS to trust me.

Now all of this paranoia and planning won't matter if we keep winning. My plan, however, it to keep at least myself and Stacy until the merge. Papa is just a vote to me. Cecilia is an ally until the merge. Nate can either be helping me or hurting me and I'm not sure which is which yet. JP is my target. Wish me luck on everything!
