" From on high a piece of parchment appears with the writing on it that says "srsPPsdwaasPdsroaodwrows" " Okay so I found the hidden sub-forum but this doesn't work and neither does any iteration of "PasswordPasswordPassword."

So these tribes are probably not "greedy vs not greedy" it's just random. And my guess is that of the people who chose 1 ruby, I was fastest...which means at least 10 people chose 1. Right? Math?

My goal on this tribe is simple: fuck Hito, Hito is dead to me, I am a vote, please use me. I am yours for the taking. Then later I will slit your throats, but first: loyalty.

Divine Intervention Dump as I consider what to veto:
Abbasid Caliphate*--The Islamic Golden Age brought prosperity upon all who experienced it due to an incredible cultural and informational exchange. Similarly, the best performing and worst performing member of each tribe in the next Immunity Challenge will receive a walkie talkie that must be given to someone not on their tribe. These walkie talkies will last for 2 tribes for which neither player is together. Additionally, players will only know what tribe won/lost the challenge, not the individual performance of any member. If this divine intervention has not occurred by the time the merge arrives, it will no longer be selectable as an option.
Byzantine Iconoclasm - The Byzantine Iconoclasm was a period of turmoil in the 8th Century A.D where there was power struggle in the Byzantine church about whether the display of religious idols was heretical. As a result Emperor Leo III banned all religious icons and had many destroyed. Much like those icons, when this divine intervention is selected, all idols held by players will be destroyed.
Council of Nicaea* - The First Council of Nicaea established that the holy trinity are homoousios or “of the same substance”, tonight, two tribes will become of the same substance and attend a joint tribal. If this divine intervention has not occurred by the time the merge arrives, it will no longer be selectable as an option.
Deuterocanonical Books--Exactly what "counts" as the Christian Scriptures continues to be debated by various Christian denominations. For the next Tribal Council, while idols can still be played, they'll be as relevant as Bel and the Dragon is to Protestants--they will not count.
Dolos* - This Greek spirit was a master of cunning deception, craftiness, and treachery. However, he also was an apprentice to the titan (and master of fire) Prometheus. This round, you will be playing in an "Apprentice"ship of your own. You will be randomly split into two groups and must select a leader. The teams will compete in a gauntlet of creative challenges. The winning team will survive elimination, while the losing team's leader must choose two people to join them in the Boardroom. These three Boardroom people must plead their case, and, for the first time ever, a specially-selected judge will send home the person they believe to be the worst performing/least persuasive player, they can use any criteria to determine this. If this divine intervention has not occurred by the time the merge arrives, it will no longer be selectable as an option. This intervention can not occur the same round as a tribe swap.
Eumaeus and Philoetius--Homer’s Odyssey details how Eumaeus and Philoetius helped Odysseus on his journey and eventual return of Ithaca. In honour of these two bros and their friendship, for the next two rounds, the SECOND person to vote for the person who is eliminated in that round (using timestamps) will receive any unused items held by that player. If someone changes their vote, and later votes for the person they were voting for originally, they will move to the “back of the pack” for purposes of counting these votes.
Lancelot and Guinevere--This tale of forbidden love has delighted people for generations. For the next Tribal Council, you'll be able to do something forbidden yourself. In honour of Lancelot's sacrificial love for Guinevere, if you play an idol at the next Tribal Council, you can play it, not just for yourself, but for one other person as well. The idol effect will apply to BOTH people.
Raksha Bandhan*--This Hindu holiday celebrates brotherhood and love, and literally means “The Bond of Protection”. In this round, the winning/best performing tribe/individual will also go to tribal council. HOWEVER, they will NOT vote someone out. They will instead vote for someone on the losing tribe to be immune. If no one receives a majority (or unique plurality) of the votes from the immune tribe/individuals, no immunity will be given. If immunity is given, it will not extend the deadline for Tribal Council, instead, it will be played as a hidden immunity idol on the person voted for. The best and worst performing tribes WILL be allowed to PM each other. If this divine intervention has not occurred by the time the merge arrives, it will no longer be selectable as an option. This divine intervention also can not be selected until at least 1 tribe swap has occurred.
The Moirai*--These three Greek goddesses assign destinies to people at birth, far in advance of them performing great works. In a like manner, you will be assigning a destiny to a Tribal Council down the road. By the end of the next Tribal Council, cast a vote for someone in the game right now. If you are still alive at the Final Nine, your vote will be read at the Final Nine Tribal Council, in addition to the votes normally cast in that round. Be careful though, your vote will be read whether the person is safe, or was eliminated long before. If this divine intervention has not occurred by the time the merge arrives, it will no longer be selectable as an option.
The Prophet's Hadith - Islamic texts say, among other things, "None of you (truly) believes until he wishes for his brother (or sister) what he wishes for himself." Today, we will put that principle to the test. By the end of this round, each player must choose one other player in the game. If two people pick each other, without anyone else picking them, both parties receive a "Steal-a-Vote" which allows a player to force one person's vote at a Tribal Council to not count, while they themselves cast two votes. However, if either player involved is picked by someone else, they will not receive a Steal-A-Vote. For example, if Tom picks Carrie, Carrie picks Tom, and Reynold picks Tom, Carrie would receive a Steal-A-Vote, no one else involved would.
The Year of Two Winters - It is said that one winter while Paul Bunyan was working it was so cold that words would freeze in mid air, never moving far from where they were said. As such this next tribal the mods will create a list of the players, and you will only be able to talk to the players immediately above and below you on the list (depending on tribe size this may instead be 2 above and 2 below). The people on top/bottom of the list will count as next to each other for the purpose of this round.
Tower of Babel - The Tower of Babel is an Old Testament story which details the hubris of humanity--they thought they could build a tower up to the heavens. Jehovah saw this and was displeased, and confounded their languages. For the next Challenge Phase you must communicate using a language assigned to you by the mods and google translate.
The Defense of Ulster - The defense of Ulster happened when legendary hero Cú Chulainn challenged an entire army to a series of single combats, holding them off for months. In this round, instead of having a challenge and then tribal council, EVERYONE will first attend a 24 hour tribal council where who voted for whom will be PUBLIC. The person who is voted out will then instead have up to 12 hours to challenge one of the people who vote for them to a duel (they are allowed to submit early). Those two will then have 12 hours (though an extension can be granted) to schedule and fight their duel. The loser will be eliminated from the game. The duel will be revealed when this event is selected. This divine intervention cannot occur the round of a tribe swap.
Utnapishtim and the Flood--The Epic of Gilgamesh details the story of Utnapishtim, who, at the behest of the God Ea, builds a boat and saves all the animals of the field from a violent storm. For the whole of this round, players can try their best to rebuild a version of Utnapishtim's boat, depicted in a puzzle. Whoever manages to rebuild Utnapishtim's boat in the fastest time during this round will get to board it and be safe during their next Tribal Council. As they will be trapped in the boat, they will not be able to vote at their next Tribal Council. If the person with the fastest time is voted out during this round, no one will get to board the boat.
Vesak--Vesak is a Buddhist commemoration of the Enlightenment of the Buddha. In the same spirit, each of you will be enlightened as well. The votes of the last Tribal Council will be publicly revealed, as will the votes of the upcoming Tribal Council.
*Can not be selected post merge ** Can not be selected pre merge

Abbassid Caliphate - Boring, but fine; probably not too useful at this stage though, we’re probably heading for a tribe swap soon and a merge shortly thereafter. Not worth vetoing or boosting.
Byzantine Iconoclasm - *Very* funny because I’m sure there are at least 3 idols in peoples’ possession currently. Might be worth boosting.
Council of Nicaea - I do not want to go to tribal. I especially do not want a joint tribal. Seriously worth vetoing.
Deuterocanonical - mehhhh boring, probably won’t touch
Dolos - chaos reigns. I will not veto. I probably will not boost.
Eumaes & Phil - bleh, boring, tough to game out. Probably won’t touch.
Lancelot & Guenivere - I don’t mind if this happens, probably won’t touch
Raksha - Sounds like work for me. Hard pass, but probably not worth vetoing?
Moirai - funny. boost it? it’s funny.
Hadith - I don’t really want more powers running around the game, might be worth vetoeing
Year of Two Winters - oh yes I love chaos, do I boost it? bitch I might
Tower of Babel - everyone really wants this to happen but I just think it’s boring and dumb
Ulster - thanks I hate it, but I also think a swap might come so I might not veto it
Vesak - lol. sure, why not

So with each token I can either boost 1 or veto two. There are 14 legal options, so each has about a 7% chance flat before I do anything. If I veto 4, each remaining has a 10% chance (and obviously the third holder, whoever they are, will get a say as well).
I am going to veto at least two, I think. Council of Nicaea is top of my list, then either Raksha or Hadith? I think the other one might be a boost...so what's worth boosting. Byzantine (Idol Destroyer), Moirai (vote for F9), Year of Two Winters (only talk to two people) are the ones I called out. Hmmm........
I know Cerberus has one Idol and I don't want him to have nice things. I don't know who has the other 2+...it's possible an ally of mine holds one, but if they haven't told me about it, they're no ally of mine. Not that I have allies anyway.
