, so as far as we know, you can stay in there up to four rounds and not be eliminated, right? So Void is in there one round already. If I end up going, does it make sense? And again, tell me if this is like a really stupid idea, because I'm very open to me being a dumbass. um do i just kind of throw we know there's no advantages alliance still has a majority and like i can win one out of four right like that's still like a it'd be crazy for me to lose four in a row i feel pretty good about how i am at challenges so if we do that kind of build up some rapport with void for a swap. Does it make sense? Is it stupid? Am I completely overclicking this here?

 if I go, just be like, hey, me, Clint, Sans, Andrew, we're a four. Like, we'll look out for you if you look out for us at a swap kind of thing. I don't know. That's my thinking.

.

 if you go in there and be like yo I'm gonna throw you can't you can't win so like I mean like if you throw you got you just gotta you know throw all the way like Loki if I if I would be like that I might you know still want to like win but yeah I think that'd be that'd be a shitty look if you said you're gonna throw and then do that if you're confident that that you could win one out of four then I say go for it you know it's it's a pretty you know Nothing game-breaking there with just making a friend. But hopefully and assumingly, whoever's there right now, they probably went because hopefully they were feeling pretty good. I know Fuggles was just fucking around. And so Fuggles went just for fun. So hopefully that void was the same way. And hopefully that they're positioned well on their tribe and be like, yo, we got a little tight little thing going on. I think that could work out great. give them a bone. Because I'm sure if I'm void, I'm shitting bricks right now because it's not guaranteed that I make it out. And so if that happens, and if you're confident you can make it through, then I think that definitely could bear some fruit.

 here's kind of what I'm thinking, right? Like, I think that the approach with Fuggles is that we play our cards with them as close to the vest as possible, where we're not just like, you know, Flip Soldier and whatever. But I think as long as we at least theoretically keep that connection in play, that could be good. So, like, somebody like AK probably wouldn't, or AK, whatever, probably wouldn't make sense to target, especially if you feel good with them, and I feel like they're pretty around. Other idea I just had. If we keep going to tribal disconfiguration, the four of the observed of us should, we should try to have at least one or two people vote wrong at some point down the line. We don't have the numbers for it right now. but I think that could do a lot of good and make people think we're maybe on other sides and kind of play the middle. Let me know what you think.

 mean like one or the two of us throw a rogue vote? The way this tribe is looking right now, it's like we've got the four of us obviously together, and I feel great about that, but then we've all got people outside. So I think that'd be smart, just throw off all the people on the outside when we know the four of us are chilling. Especially once we decide on whoever we go for, it's going to be majority. You know, I feel like everyone's going to try and, you know, stay together, especially for this first vote. So, yeah, maybe some rug votes could be smart. But, like, right now, we've got nine people on the tribe. And, you know, we just can't let them catch on and, like, let the other five realize and then come together against us. Yeah, I think throwing a rug vote is smart. We just also got to be, you know, careful for this cycle.

 I'm not 100% sure. I agree that I think push comes to shove. We go with Andrew and Clint and Ryan over a.k.a. Bree and Omar. I don't know. Ideally, we just keep winning out after this and then we don't have to make a choice. But do we think Clint would not say anything? probably right maybe we do just tell them i don't know i'm kind of conflicted on it but whatever you think is best i'm good to do we just need to make sure we keep our stories straight no matter what

 like this is not a concern that i have any anytime soon but i think that eventually the four of us you know me you clint andrew will be targeted and i would have to imagine that clint is the one who gets targeted first just because he's so clint um like he's very like you said he's very old school and like i think he's very straight up to the point of being blunt and i think that sometimes people will mistake that for i don't know that i think some people won't vibe with it as we get further into the game and so i think it's good to keep him around um but i think we're gonna have to i've been mentally preparing myself for the fact that clint will likely not be super duper long for this game but I want to work with him as soon as he's here.

 basically, my rationale for AK over Bree and Omar was that I thought there was a chance that Bree would, like, Void would vote to keep Bree over Andrew. And I wanted to make sure that we won the revote. and I figured that like keeping Omar and Void kind of at each other's throats would give us a better opportunity to make it through eight and then the four of us just have the majority and there's no idols so that was kind of my rationale it was a very split second thing I do feel like he didn't really do anything wrong but yeah that's just kind of why I did it

, bro. Genuinely, it sucks for AK. I think I started driving to this baseball game around five, maybe. I've been gone this whole time. I would check my phone periodically, and I didn't realize, I guess I didn't see the text that the idol was definitely getting played. but damn like it sucks but you know right now obviously we have numbers do you think that Omar and Voight are still going to go after each other like I would love you know hopefully that like you know ignited their their feud because that would be nice for for attention to go there also I got to patch up my relationship with Brie because Brie probably thinks that I'm like totally against her for voting AK out. So I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that, but, you know, very fortunate that somehow all of us made it, you know, survive that idol.

, I wanted to run this by you before I even think about running it by Andrew and Clint, but Ryan wants Jem. He said he wouldn't rock the boat, he can pull away if he wanted to, whatever, which is what he's going to say. But he's interested in voting Jem, and honestly, I've gotten nothing from Jem. Do we even consider taking the shot across the bow at someone like Jem? or is that just like complete self-sabotage and do we just need to put our trust and faith in these four people who frankly i have not met any of them and if any of if they're voting for any of us it's me so i would appreciate um you know mitigation but i also don't want to bite the hand that feeds uh let me know what you think

'm driving right now. I'm just getting off work. So, are we set on voting Tully? That's A-OK, perfectly. Yeah, I'm happy with that. I just know that Ryan and him are probably close. And so I worry that Ryan would be upset at that. I need to check in with Void and see what Void thinks. But I'm just seeing if that's the consensus. And also, like, dude, if they really end up voting Brie, amazing. Like, that's, you know, great. But it just doesn't make sense. Like, I know. Like, I know, you know, it's all checking out. Like, you know, everybody's telling us that. And if they don't vote Brie, then, you know, it definitely separates on us. And I feel like if they were really voting one of us, then somebody would have, like, you know, said something, you know? like somebody would still want to like work with whoever survives after this vote so i feel like something would have been said but still like i don't know it just makes me uneasy um but you know if they vote out brie then i'm a happy clam i when i get home actually i'm not even getting home i'm going to a movie at four and so i'm driving to pick up a friend right now so i won't really be on like crazy and so if if tully and brie go home at this vote i'm you know ecstatic but i'm just like a little on edge, if that makes sense.

 man okay so i guess we were on first swap when they first dropped that clue and so i just completely like brute force like hundreds of commands that night and one of the ones that i did was just question mark television and so i did that and it just said ping staff and so i pinged staff i was like holy shit i just found the idol whatever and they're like actually you didn't find anything and you didn't complete the entire puzzle because i hadn't found the interruptions thing yet at that point and they were like so you don't get the idle and also we're gonna change the command so that you can't just use it again i was like what the like this is fucked up like all this stuff got into like a big fight with production whatever and so then when I finally got this, I was like, oh, there's a hyphen with a five at the end. I was like, that sounds like some shit that got changed and it wasn't originally supposed to be there. So I tried television. I tried on television. I tried on TV and then I tried TV, all the five at the end. And that's how I got that.

 somebody within two hours got the first thing, then got the second, and did it without knowing the television thing already. I mean, I think I told Fuggles and Starr about it at the time, I think. Or maybe Fuggles and Corny. I don't remember. I'd have to look back, but there are other people who knew about the television thing. I will let you know who that is because that actually might give us a clue.

'm going to have to run for the night pretty soon because I've got to get up early tomorrow. But just to sort of get my thoughts down, I don't think that Foggle's going makes a ton of sense for us because I feel like with the idol, he's someone where we will have a better opportunity to actually play it correctly rather than just flying blind. If it's Richie, I mean, I'm totally down to take the shot. but I don't trust it that much. I like Theo is being way too obvious about this in such a way that makes me think it's just a ruse to get the vote off him. Maybe, you know, it is legit and he's been out of the game for two weeks and he's getting big move itis, whatever. But like, I don't trust it. I don't trust it at all. And I think if we leaked the information, we might be able to you know get back into a little bit more of a stable position in this game and ping out Theo who's kind of a wild card I don't know let me know what you think

 right. Sorry, I was busy tonight. And so I'm getting on it like frickin midnight. Dude, I'm I'm so thrown for a loop right now. To hear my name is like, damn, because, you know, I was told, you know, hey, you know, we might still be thinking Jack or Clint, which is I kind of expected. And then, you know, as I was kind of perceiving it as is it Ricky or Richie? I don't know which one it is. He was telling me and so was a few other people. They're like, oh, yeah, like, you know, we're going to work together. And then this bullshit. Listen, I'm fine. So, yeah, with Theo, I'm interested. I don't I don't trust him at all. I get very bad vibes. He seems like so sporadic where even if we do vote with him, it's going to be a headache. Um, I, I don't love the vibes I'm getting from him. I'm interested what angle Jim is coming from. I, um, I don't know. I don't know what she's thinking tomorrow. I don't work tomorrow. I'm all on. And so I really apologize if I've been kind of like dodgy and in and out, but I will be here to figure out whatever the hell this is going on with this vote. Um, cause it's so weird. I'm getting such weird vibes and I know it's a lot of people that haven't played Orcs before but I'm getting weird weird signals from everywhere but I will be on much more tomorrow to figure it out but I still have some time tonight where I can go around and try and sniff out where, because I'm still very confused about where everybody's coming from

, door one, Richie goes. I think my issue is that I don't know what happens at 12 when we still have, what is that? it would be us, Clint, and then I guess Jem, Theo, Marissa. It's still only six. And I think that they would immediately flip back to us to vote out, or flip back on us to vote out one of UI or Clint. Whereas on the other side, A, I think Richie is somebody who is so paranoid. But I think that he would actually take it as a sign of goodwill and would not target us for this vote. Also, considering the idle, if we know about the other side, I think if we don't burn Fuggles, he would leak to us about a potential target if we need to idle. That's my main consideration and not something I can say in any of the other chats. I think we have better comms with Fuggles if they flip and maintain that relationship than with anybody else. so yeah that's kind of why i'm leaning to vote uh vote theo out also i just straight up don't trust

 do not trust Theo whatsoever at all. Just like the one thing is about Ricky or Richie, whatever. I think it is Ricky, I think. It's just like, if he would have been like, yeah, to be honest with you, I did mention, you know, possibly voting the three of you guys and doing a split vote because of the idol. If he was just like straight up and it was like that, fine, dude. I totally understand and whatever. but he's just like giving me like weird signs but i i i do agree with you like i think that fuggles like lets us like he um i think he gives us the calms of what's going on and i think we side with him then it's it's much more of a it's more of a relationship we can trust first off but then also that gives us two pretty big shields if we wanted to get votes on fuggles or on Ricky, we can get the people to do that pretty damn easily. And the only relationship that I'd really want to, you know, try and, oh, shit, oh, shit. Sorry, Australia's about to score. The other relationship I'd really want to salvage would be Jem. I think Jem and I could work well together. And that's like the one thing I worry about switching over to Theo. but yeah if we can if we can gain that trust and you know have like all right so tell them we're doing this for you guys we're voting theo and gain that trust with them i think that could go a long

 agree on the gem piece I'm thinking if you and I let her know then we just go fight another day I'm trying to talk to Clint now I just don't think Marissa's with us and I know that Boyd's not with us so we kind of have to and then and then hopefully Gem's actually with us and then we can get Boyd and somebody else at 12 and make something happen. I don't know, man. I just think we have to do Theo.
