Dear. Fucking. God. That puzzle sucked. I was super proud of myself for completing the first cryptogram in five minutes. FIVE MINUTES! I thought I had this challenge in the bag! The hieroglyphics were a bit harder, but still, they only took me like fifteen minutes. And then I spent another hour agonizing over the puzzle. Seriously. Every single goddamn minute that I thought I had left. Because in my head, 120 minutes translated to one hour and twenty minutes. Two minutes before my madeup deadline, I said:  And then Anansi chimed in, like... no... sweet child, you've still got 40 mins. Which I didn't see for another 14 mins.  So then I tried again. And again. And again. And again. I submitted something that I knew was incorrect (BY ONE FUCKING COLOR) just so I could hopefully have a good time, and then submit a correction. But after trying literally everything I could think of, I still couldn't figure it out. So.......  Yeah. I'm going to go to sleep now. I'll think about tribal tomorrow. |

Tiny update: Deimos is growing on me. He just had a funny attitude in his last PM, and it warmed my cold, dead heart.  I'm actually getting suspicious of Bilious, so he might be more on the line than Radiance or P/D. I can't really put my finger on why. But I'll keep an eye on him. |

Last night as I tried to go to sleep, I remembered: Bilious has an idol, so he *can't* be on the line right now. But after he has it for a third tribal (probably next round at this rate), it'll go kaputz. So we could go after him then. But for now, I am doing my very best to keep on good terms with him. Based off of his most recent PMs, I'd say he trusts me. For now. I'll have to be careful.

Well, I just flat-out told Radiance that people are considering her and P/D, and that people may worry that she'll become a threat in the future due to her ties on Jotunn. I hope she appreciates my candor. And I'm super proud of the joke I told her: Congrats on rolling high on your intimidation check. And that's okay.  Anyway... I keep going back and forth in my head about who to vote for, or who to save with my arrows (because the Ladies of Egypt suggested I "burn" them so that I don't appear as big of a threat later on). P/D or Rae Rae... P/D or Rae Rae... Oh! Let me tell you how I described my thoughts to Maaty (because she asked it in such a cute way: "What is the thinking you're doing?" Just... my heart!): Haha I don't even know what the thinking is that I'm doing. Little tennis balls of thoughts are just bonking around up there. Some of them are rolling around on the ground and others are sitting in the corner, gathering dust. |

Okay. I think I did good. Radiance added me, Hades, and Maat & Hathor to a group chat because we're the peoples she feels safest talking to. And can we all take a moment to appreciate the subject title she used: Super secret apple group PM, pls help me i'm scare
There, there, little three-haired floof. We've got you.
Maybe. I still don't know if people are leaning more towards Radiance or P/D. But this is fascinating.

Well, shit. The Life & Death alliance is leaning heavily towards voting out Radiance JUST when I'm really thinking about saving them. I did just tell her I'd use an arrow to try and save her, and I feel obligated to stand by that... And I really do think that she would stay loyal to us, rather than her Tunny buddies if a swap happens soon...
Ughhhhh. I was cool with voting her out at first, but honestly, why should I NOT vote for Phobos/Deimos when I keep forgetting they even exist?

Life & Death feels like Phobos and Deimos are "pocketable" but how do I know if that's true? They haven't given me ANY reason to think that they would be on my side, or anyone else's side besides maybe Bilious, but even Bilious was saying that he was thinking about pushing to vote for P/D, and I just told P/D that to stir up the pot and see what happens.
This tribal is WAY harder.

... kind of sad, but trying to be rational update...
I will NOT be using an arrow to nullify a vote against Radiance. They've convinced me. And Hathy shared something in the L & D GC that really solidified it for me. She said that since we're a strong alliance right now, the best she's ever had (same), we need to make this decision as a team.
I don't like going back on my promise to Radiance because I fully did plan to save her... But I think they're being smart. If she turned against us with her Tunny buddies later on, that could be very bad for us.
So snuff out that threatening flame, and then move onto snuffing out Bilious... After his idol runs out.
Unless he uses it now to try and save either P/D or Radiance (depending on which of his last PMs was honest--he did NOT get back to me about whether he would use the idol to save Radiance or not, but L & D are pretty sure that he's gonna vote against P/D). If he used his idol to save someone else, he'd be vulnerable next time... I think I've stirred the pot enough for people to be suspicious of Bilious. They may have even gotten there on their own.
Crazy how fast I turned on that one. I used to really like Bilious and want to keep him around. Now I'm doubting his every word.

Ahhhhhhh Radiance posted in our Tribal area that she's "off to sleep", and my empathy kicked in super hard, because she's gonna wake up to the worst news. Why??? Why would you do this to me?  |
