The game continues! Sup?

The first vet has just been voted out. It is now half vets and half newbies. How, if at all does this change the game for you?

The vote wasn't really close. With the "easy vote" of Ryan gone, what happens next moving forward? Is there a new easy vote or biggest threat or least active? What's the main driving force behind the next vote?

That jury is filling up quickly. Who on the jury so far at this point in the game do you think you'd get votes from to win? Anyone never voting for you to win?

Although there's still a lot of game left, it's starting to get down to it. Only 10 left, what are you doing to ensure that you make it to the end?

What is your ideal FTC scenario? Who will be with you at the end and why?

Do you think you're playing the best game as of now? What do you need to change if anything to take home the win? Don't forget as the game continues, you need to build that resume of yours to win the game.

That's all for now.

Won't have time for an audio today. Gotta get things down succinctly in text like a normie:

Ryan was the easy vote last night. He's someone I wouldn't have minded sticking around because he has a ginormous target on him at all times. If he would have committed to me I'd be more interested, but while trying to work me was also throwing my name out. He was someone who wasn't desperate to work with me, but desperate to work with anyone. That's someone who's just too dangerous to have around long term, and is not worth dying on a hill for.

We're down to F10. The dynamic of the game has changed - it's no longer "we have to vote someone out of this huge tribe", it's "I need to angle myself for the win". I don't think there's a big alliance running things - there are pairs and singles that will float depending on the vote. Adam and Zeke are together, Danni and Lydia are together, Me/Dale/Drew are together, and I see Caryn, Chrissy and Lucy as more "singles", even though they have connections with people. Danni seems to have completely flipped on me and Dale - she got the chance to share idol clues and chose Lucy, Drew and Chrissy above us! She's not someone I can trust moving forward. It's gonna be hectic for every vote going forward and I'll need to be on my "A" game considering I am not the best positioned right now (I'd say Lucy is in with the most people). It's going to take a team effort from Dale, Drew and I to make it to the end.

In terms of jury - I'm not worried about it. Really the only person left who I would be scared to go up against would be Lucy. She's absolutely killing the game and definitely in the best spot right now. She's playing the Penner strategy of floating the middle UTR during the early merge and using people on the outs until a solid end game alliance appears. Especially showing up the vets, I don't think I could beat her at this time, but that's okay. Dale and Drew would be close to go up against but I think I would have a good shot. Lydia/Adam/Zeke are non-factors, Danni seems like the kind of person whose game people won't respect. I wouldn't vote for her right now - her game is too careless.

Honestly, the strategy for me right now is to really get in with Lucy/Adam/Zeke. They'll be huge for the next vote. Drew seems to be in with the Chrissy/Danni crowd and could alert us to any plans. Lydia would be my ideal next boot because she's a non factor and I need big names to target each other later on. Also, the later it gets without having to play my idol the better.

I've shown my cards pretty openly so far, and it allowed me to really kill the premerge / early merge game, but this is a whole new game now and I will need to elevate.

There are BIG developments today. Gonna be a fun blindside tonight. Once I get out of this meeting I'll record some audio.

Oh yeah, and in reference I'm gonna tell Danni I'm signing my vote with the word pizza so she knows I'm with her (which she did to me a few votes ago). Except it'll be a vote for her.
