walking gracefully along the pyramids

Ughhhhh Maat wants to get out F&K and I want to get out Poppy and we're disagreeing on that. I will try and get the reasoning and discussion we had into the Scratching Pole soon But this round I feel people would like to target Bilious but with his idol it's going to be hard to do that. He can throw his weight around but I think we have enough support on our side to plan around that.

Right now for Maat and I, the tribe is divided in Big 4/Life and Death Alliance and the Hydra alliance in addition to Bilious. Bilious seems to be universally an agreed boot but he gas an idol so that makes things hard. There's enough votes and safety arrows to split votes but... on who?

I think everyone has a fav between F&K and P&D that probably falls along tribal lines. I personally want to keep them both for hydra solidarity. 

I think Poppy wanted to pocket dias and run to Jael and the Jotunn majority on the other side and doesn't actually see us as an alliance longterm. Maat disagrees and thinks Poppy loves us and wants to work with us longterm and trying to burn her here would be hell. I still think Poppy sees her future with Elo and Jotunn and not the Titans and I think Jotunn wants to burn us for exposing their alliance! So! So many things could happen. 

also maat RELISHING in the PMs is terrifying how could someone enjoy waking up to like 10 pms?? thank god i have someone to do a lot of the social game part of survivor because that's my weakest trait. I really appreciate being given a reader's digest from Maat about what everyone's saying and such and not having to do all the typing myself

we went from like the best tribe to the worst tribe in one pick.

Ok I take that back, good job Maat. If we were on Rusalka I really don't know what would have happened. I kind of hope Kronos doesn't have the idol and he just goes here.

Anyways I have a really nice keyboard right now and just want to type forever so here are some thoughts on the game.

I feel like we're in a great position right now. Maat is great at keeping us in good graces with everyone which I am super appreciative about. I hate PM'ing but we keep on getting really positive and affirming comments from everyone that we're universally liked and everyone has something positive to say about us and that's definitely because Maat wakes up every day and gets those PMs in.

I also think we are a threat at this point, which is a bit worrying in the merge in terms of managing our threat level, but that's something to think about later. We organized Radiance's boot and snagged a double vote for ourselves. We've been involved with the plan to blindside Bilious, though that wasn't possible without Poppy. And I think we have a solid alliance with many people.

Viy - I think we can form a strong connection here down the line considering we were the ones to reach out to him about his position on Jotunn. He's had a lot of time to communicate with other members of White Tiger and form alliances that weren't just the Jotunn majority.

Loki - Loki is convincing us that he likes us the most here and is feeding us sweet little nothings about how he's down to do anything that we want to do. I feel good about this because it seems like Loki is just looking for a strong ally that will go far with him. He doesn't read as the conniving type that's just trying to get us to do his dirty work for him.

Hermes - Hermes has been feeding us like one line messages that's been getting really frustrating. During the shipwreck he just asked us questions back to back about the info that we had and then whenever we asked for answers from him, he just gave us those one-liners. I get that now he's sick but it also just feels like he doesn't value us as allies at the moment I hope that changes when we actually need to converse with him but he's pretty low on our lists at the moment.

Bilious - I think Bilious is universally a boot that people want to deal with. I highly doubt he has another idol and he's just been so conniving this game. He is now trying to spread dissent among the Jotunns on Valkyrie by being like "Oh Loki told me he wanted to go in on the Hadith thing, but I guess he's actually going with Hermes......." when Loki told us he wanted to Hadith with us which is so weird? Gooooood I just hope he goes without a hitch. With his double vote he can cause a real mess and I think we've made it clear to him that it's hard for us to end up on the same page.

Poppy - Poppy is universally very liked and is definitely a threat. She still has three arrows and is probably going to be able to take those to a merge. I hope we don't go to a tribal here because she could really do some damage with those on a small tribe, but in a merge with everyone using steal a votes and double votes, that won't be all that helpful. I really want to work with her going forward but I just know she would win if we went to FTC with her. She's been trying to please too many people and to me that reads as dangerous. Like we've been keeping her little secret about her telling us about Bilious' idol and how she knew about the blindside the whole time. Like why does she want that connection with Bilious anyways if we want to get him out??

Hades - I think this is both of our favorite ally at the moment. He's so communicative with us and has amazing plans. I think we could really go all the way with him? I hope he trusts us just as much as we trust him I think he also has great alliances outside of us which means he's not going to be a huge target that we have to constantly protect down the line.

Cerberus - We feel really good with him right now and he's trying to form an alliance with Hermes/Persephone and us. Which we were really surprised by because we initially hadn't spoken with Perse much so it was all off the relationship we had with Hermes. But I think that alliance won't be strong. It just feels like it could fall apart at any second considering Hermes is basically ghosting us and Persephone, we just don't feel solid with. but it's something we could definitely fall back on.

Phobos & Deimos - Scares us.. like has been the target for two tribals but people keep saving them. Are they like goat status? Like people keep saving them to drag them? But Deimos comes across as pretty good at this game and has great reads so they are definitely not goats. It just feels like they are super under the radar right now and can use that to get further.

Jael - Feels like they hate us! Like we know so many people are working with Jael but Jael refuses to work with us! Poppy told us Jael said "pick a few friends and stick with that so that you're never stretched too thin protecting too many people and you'll do fine" so like are we just outside of the friend group that Jael picked?? It's super frustrating because the people Jael seems to like (Loki, and Poppy) are people we also want to go far with so theoretically we need to pocket Jael as well but it's just so difficult when they give us NOTHING.

Kronos-Athena-Persephone-Elorito-Jesus- I barely have opinons on these sooooo hopefully some stay so that I can meet them!

SO WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR LYING HERMES???////
