Another tie vote. Are you concerned that a vast majority of votes were for newbies? We're now entering the final 12 with only 5 active newbies and 6 active vets. Do you think the vets will all stick together until the end of the game?

Do you know what happened tonight or do you feel out of control with the game? What can you do from this point forward to take control of your fate in the game? Are there moves to be made? Which vets seem to have the most tension among them? Which newbies seem most closely aligned with them? Which vets are you most closely aligned with? Can you exploit their history?

This whole merge has been a shit show for me and I am not at all looking forward to what is about to happen tonight.

I feel very responsible for how this whole merge has played out after I switched my vote during the first round and cause Brian to be eliminated via a fucking rock pull. Losing Ryan and Gary back to back has almost crippled my game in my opinion. Add to that everything that has been going on in real life that has kept me away from the board? Fuck me.

At the same time I cannot let myself just lay down and die. There are still options even with all of the bullshit going on in this game. I think I can still survive and I think I can still make some moves since the Vets are not together all that well.

Ryan and the rest of the vets have a volatile relationship and that can be exploited easily. Danni and I are still solid and I know that the old Taints are close as well. If Danni and I team up with them and Ryan we should be able to pull forward in this game together. It will not be easy at all, but there is always hope when you have such insane fuckers like this playing a game.
