Episode 06

[Jeff Probst]

So congratulations on making the final 13 (lucky or unlucky depending on what you believe)!

Are you prepared for Council tomorrow in the event that you have to go?

Are you considering the merge as the numbers are dwindling?

Do you believe that other players consider you a threat? Are you targeting the "threats" in the game or still focused on challenge performance?

If threats are being targeted, do you believe that you are on that list of targets?

[Nate]

well, Cassandra messaged me earlier today saying that she was thinking of targeting low post counts - so I'll try to increase my post count with this one post

[Nate]

So instead of a long, rambly confessional I'm going to chop my confessional up like poop

[Nate]

questions first, because I don't want to become predictable

[Nate]

So congratulations on making the final 13 (lucky or unlucky depending on what you believe)!

Thank you Jeff!

[Nate]

Are you prepared for Council tomorrow in the event that you have to go?

I'd say that I would have been. There is an alliance of 4 with Me, Penner, Cecilia and Candice that has the majority of the tribe. Currently the debate is between Stacey and Cassandra, and we'll probably rope in Rebecca just before the vote.

[Nate]

Are you considering the merge as the numbers are dwindling?

The merge is always on the mind. That's the biggest argument for booting Cassandra as she's tighter with the original Mykines than Stacy is. The merge should be a challenge away because there is a tribal tomorrow and you'll probably give us the weekend for the merge.

[Nate]

Do you believe that other players consider you a threat? Are you targeting the "threats" in the game or still focused on challenge performance?

I don't believe so - I've sit out in half the challenges, one of them I just made a diagram, the other two the way to win did not necessarily involve competing. I feel like challenge performance only creates a positive or negative taste in people's mouths (like Penner and Candice to Stacey), but threats aren't worth taking out until one group definitely has the power. Merge currently looks like

Penner/Me/Cecilia/Candice + probably Rebecca vs. Cassandra and/or Stacey + Anthony/Jessica/Rocky/Liliana
That leaves Cassandra and whose side she ends up on to be probably the controlling narrative of the merge.

[Nate]

Wait sorry, I've been chopping up my poo incorrectly:

Penner/Me/Cecilia/Candice + probably Rebecca vs. Cassandra and/or Stacey + Anthony/Jessica/Rocky/Liliana
That leaves Cassandra and whose side she ends up on to be probably the controlling narrative of the merge.

[Nate]

If Flicka/Stephannie goes, I'll probably be back on board with Cecilia's throw it and boot one of them plan which would give us the advantage numbers-wise, but will also put me as a fifth as opposed to a fourth place in the alliance. But that's something to think about later though.

[Nate]

If threats are being targeted, do you believe that you are on that list of targets?

No i'm not for reasons I highlighted above

[Nate]

idol guessing:

i think it's been found. i've tried every mountain in the island of eysteroy - so i think that means that somebody found it.
If somebody found it they're probably on the other tribe.

[Nate]

200!

[Nate]

the more i think about it, people may think i found the idol if my post count increases completely dramatically. i'll try to keep myself under 220

[Nate]

nevermind. this is stupid. i'll watch a movie, do n8 r8s and then finish this off

[Nate]

Conversation Recaps:
*Cassandra* - General really nice, nothing game related just talkin' bout life and Stranded and shit
*Stacy* - Did not respond
*Penner/Candice* - Essentially confirmed the alliance of 4 and debated between Stacy and Cassandra
*Rebecca* - Can't remember. We did talk though.
*Cecilia* - wants to make a fake alliance with Stacy and Cassandra with Rebecca as the target so we can lure Stacy into not using the necklace if she has it. I'm not 100% on board because that has the chance of pissing off Cassandra who might join them.

Immunity Necklace Watch:
TIC 1 - JP (used)
TIC 2 - Hestur TBD
TIC 3 - Anthony (used)
TIC 4 - Jessica and/or Stacey
TIC 5 - One of the NousNousSvinoys (hopefully Steph).

[Nate]

My random guess:
The idol has probably been found by one of the second/third Svinoys. I believe that's Flicka, Rocky, Steph and Liliana. My bet is Liliana due to complete pessimism. Yau could have given his idol to one of them which would be worst case scenario.

My thoughts:
IF WE WIN F12 - It's fine. Hopefully Steph manages to sweep through FIC immunity challenges because she's loyal to the original Svinoys. I feel like she threatens me as a fourth, but I feel like I could make a move later on that would get rid of it once we get power.

IF WE LOSE F12 - Probably Stacey gets voted out 6-1.
