ugh everyone in my tribe is saying how terrible the challenge was for them
I don't think it went too badly for me, it went about average
but I don't think that's really going to be enough if we had a lot of bad scores
tonight might be my first tribal council :/

thankfully most people seem to generally like me and I didn't do utterly terrible on the challenge so I'll *probably* be safe
but I'm kinda worried Kronos is going to be voted out and I'm a little worried about the Jotunn bloc continuing to stick together
Thankfully both Jesus and Viy seem to want to work with me going forward

Alright, it was a bit of a busy weekend but still a lot has happened.
Overall, I'm feeling okay about my place in White Tiger. I don't feel as immediately secure as I did in Titan's, but I think I have enough allies here that I can at the very least survive until I regain contact with Hades/Cerberus. It is a great boon to have Persephone with me. She's one of my closest allies now and I'm glad the original alliance of 4 from Titans got split in half instead of 3 and 1. We also have Kronos over here. The thing with Kronos, is that I like him and I'd obviously prefer not to vote him out. I also know for the time being he'll probably vote with Persephone and I due to old tribal lines and I know Persephone really likes him and wants us to stick together. The problem is that he has admitted himself that he's disengaged from not going to TC. It's not something I really relate to but I guess I understand where he's coming from? The problem is, that it makes it seem like he's not super interested in talking to anyone, so people aren't that attached to him. As a result, in the event we go to a TC, he might be in danger. I feel like you have to start caring *before* a TC, if a TC happens and then you start playing the game, it's already too late.
I also feel like I've given many honest attempts to try to get closer to Kronos, but I think he's content to keep playing the way he has. I like him, and would like to stick with him if possible, I just have no idea how permanent or long term his place in the game is or even his alignment with me and Persephone is. So, for the time being, I'm not going to rely on his vote long term.
Persephone and Jesus is a good core to start from. Jesus was my first ally outside of my original tribe and he's continued to be open to working with me (and Persephone). We are constantly sharing information about our tribe mates and I think we both trust each other a lot. All three of us have take a liking to Viy. Viy seems to not want to hard commit to any alliance until a TC happens, but Viy has said that they would work with me in the future, so I'm taking that as a promise that they will align with us when the time comes. Jesus and Persephone also have taken a liking to Viy.
That means our group is:
Athena / Persephone / Jesus / Viy as a stronger core. We need one more vote technically to be super safe, but I think that's a good core to work with and it won't be too hard to get at least one other person aligning with us. Kronos will for now. Eloritu maybe? Kronos and Eloritu are also the two players who might be feeling the most insecure about their spot in the tribe.

GREETINGS ATHENA. I, BAPHOMET, WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. REGRETTABLY, I HAVE NOT YET GRACED YOUR CONFESSIONAL WITH MY PRESENCE, BUT I AM NOW REMEDYING THAT GRIEVOUS FAULT. HOW HAVE YOUR TRIBAL DYNAMICS BEEN IMPACTED BY WINNING EVERY CHALLENGE SO FAR AND BY THE TWIST LAST ROUND? HOW DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT AFFECT YOUR TRIBE IN UPCOMING SWAPS OR MERGES? Strangely, I think some people are very disengaged from avoiding Tribal every round (like Kronos). I find this attitude kind of harmful, at least to one's own position in the game. Personally, I feel like Tribal is not the time to find out where everyone stands, you want to have a good idea *already* going into tribal. It also makes it difficult to stake faith in someone who is going to figure it all out come Tribal. I'm sort of coming to think that there aren't really any "hard" alliances (besides maybe me and Persephone and me and Jesus) coming into this tribe. Jotunn all seem friendly with each other but the fact they never went to TC may have meant no one felt the need to stick together as hard. Hermes has been a little less talkative as of late though and he's my biggest bet for someone who would be in an alliance. In the future, I think Artemis/Persephone/Jesus/Viy makes a strong core from our tribe. I don't know who Hades and Cerberus are romancing on the other side, but I'm sure they are making allies that we'll get along with. Poppy seems like a strong player that expressed interest in working with us before.

Welcmeo back oxt… Pub Ritvia Witrh Bacchus Where yolu anwser my qeztusions. Let’ks od it! 1: Whmo wefre you happfiest tao see on your new tribeg? Who were you least hapopy tyo se?e 2: How fra aheoad arae yolu thvinking at this point? Just va round oyr two, or amre you trying hard to pset pu for lazter osteags oyf the game? 3: New divjine isntervention! How do yopu feevl abuwot it? 4: What’s youdr favorite thing to drink odn tshe fourth of july? 1. I was happiest to see Persephone and Jesus. They were both people I had a pre-existing and very strong relationship with before. I feel safe, secure, and trusting with them. I don't think I was really unhappy to see anyone? I honestly think this tribe is very good, which simultaneously makes it hard to know who I want to vote out. There was no one I was unhappy to see and everyone seems like they could possibly work with me in the future. 2. I'm always trying to prepare for the next possible twist or tribal. Although I haven't been to tribal yet, I feel I should always be prepared for the short term worst, and gathering allies for such an event is important. In the long term, I'm trying not to commit to anything that I don't think will be useful in the long term. I still consider Hades and Cerberus close allies, and I'm carefully choosing people on this tribe that I think will work well with them as well. Long term planning is also why I'm not fully committing to sticking with Kronos, because I don't necessarily think he's a long term player unless he suddenly changes his play. 3. Meh. Maybe I'm boring but if it came down to it I would probably play it safe. I think something crazy could happen but it's more likely people will play it safe and nothing too surprising will happen. Although, I'm unsure in general who will be booted out next from the other tribe. 4. Water - I'm not much of a drinker.

Oh I should also mention Loki. I like him a lot and have been getting along with him well. He also claims to not be attached to party lines, so he may vote along with the group of me/Perseph/Jesus/Viy if asked
With him and Kronos I feel confident getting through the next few challenges even if things start going south for our tribe

honestly don't understand how that is a hint to the puzzle so it seems like it should be useful for something else

I'm hoping they get along with Poppy and Bilious, they seem like the strongest members of the former Hito tribe and I had gotten along with both of them previously. I basically pointed both Hades and Cerberus in that direction before we split, so I'm hoping they've managed to come together. Maat & Hathor seems well liked so maybe him?
I also am hoping now that Phobos & Deimos has become more talkative and will survive for a while, they've been killing it on the challenges at least.
I'm guessing either Fili & Kili or Radiance is getting booted tonight
