Fastest challenge to do ever, "should take no more than one hour" indeed. I took 0 rubies because I'm not greedy and don't think I need an idol anyway.
Bigger surprise is that the expected 18-player swap didn't happen, which perhaps sucks for Hitorigami but this challenge literally takes no skill or luck, it's sheer greed that will cost someone their life this time. Not necessarily their own greed, mind you.

A confessional post from Viy worth reading?! You heard me right.
I just heard from Maat/Hathor that there have been plans to make a 5-person alliance here excluding Jesus... and ME. That's disappointing in itself to say the least. But who are the ringleaders? The Radiance... and LOKI. What the fuck, I thought he was my best ally. Ugggghhh.
With my speculation on who The Radiance is, I think this matches their previous play that I saw, and I'm not surprised they're causing chaos to erupt. But Loki, man, that just hurts. We had such a rapport. If he can seriously fake it that well while really wanting me out, that's actually scary.
So suddenly me leaving all the rubies in the cave seems like a very wise move. Maat/Hathor say they have my back, and Jesus was excluded too so that would make 3 if we go to tribal. I need one more to survive the vote and get out Radiance or Loki. Alternative is to sacrifice Jesus and wait for a swap to save me, but that seems... not great? I don't know. What's really frustrating is that I don't even know why I'm on the outs. I can understand the Radiance not being close with me, I saw him stumble on the Mjolnir word search and our convo has been stale. But I had thought everyone here actually was liking me, and I think I've been pretty active on the whole... did I leave game talk too late maybe? But Loki and I have been talking game for a while, and he supposedly wants me gone.

So, Sane!Me knows that keeping things calm and quiet is the best way forward, and is usually in charge. However, it seems that Panic!Me took over for a while after hearing about The Plot and so I asked about it to Hermes and Jael. That moment of madness could end up crystallizing stuff against me, and if so that sucks and I should learn to never let Panic!Me post in the future. Hopefully I can get away with it, or at least survive until a swap happens some day.

Oh, well played mods. Didn't anticipate that, even though the predator/prey split was based on challenge results in SotF. So I have some new people to talk to now, and still don't have to go to tribal, which is great. The Radiance also isn't here, which is also probably good because at best they're the person I'm least close with from Jotunn and at worst they were plotting against me.

Me: "Hey there Kronos, I'm glad we're immune once again. Let's get to know each other; I like X, Y, and Z, how about you? Talk to me about things."
Kronos: "Hi! I'm glad we're immune too. I only took 1 ruby."
I mean OK that's not irrelevant info but come on, at least try to take the conversation bait a little bit...

Impressions:
Athena and Eloritu are good conversationalists and share some of my interests
Persephone is a bit less naturally engaging but still nice and she clearly tries
Kronos seems to need coaxing to start a good topic

Also, Loki in public keeps saying that he's responding to everyone he can before he has to go, but he has said literally nothing to me for around 36 hours now, maybe longer. Not sketchy at all, no sir. I understand having a rough time in real life, and feel bad; and if it's a lot of people he's leaving on read and not just me, then I get it. But if it is just me, then it feels like I'm just a problem to him now, and maybe if he ignores me I'll go away. It doesn't feel good for that to be a real possibility.

Lo and behold, Loki actually did respond to me today. There were some apologies from him, and some from me (for agreeing to a three-way alliance with Jael and jumping the gun a bit - shouldn't have done that), and hopefully things are normal between us. It's still not really clear whether he truly was a leader of the Jotunn - 2 alliance or if the Radiance just claimed he was in it to give it more oomph. We still share plenty of information and have some pretty in-depth posts between us, so... hopefully we're good? If he can fool me so convincingly, then he's pretty damn good and I can't be too upset. Besides, "Betrayed by Loki" just is too fitting.

Loki tells me that Jael and I are the players that seem the most "mature and experienced." I can't speak for Jael, but uh... I'm mid 20s and have exactly one game of experience, so I'll have to chalk that up as a miss. Not that it's a bad thing to hear about yourself, especially as he framed it. We're getting a group chat set up for the three of us now, and we feel great about our position. Eloritu seems to be just looking for someone to latch on to because his tribe sucked, so he should be recruitable. But because there aren't two clear 'sides' we aren't locked in to anything yet, which is very nice.
