It sort of sounds like a lot of my fellow players are starting to burn out a little from playing so long, which I certainly understand. We have been playing for a long time; this game is very stressful at points too. I don’t know though, I woke up today SUPER energized, and super motivated to make something happen for myself. Last round was my lay low round and not make any waves as I attempted to integrate myself back with the people I want to work with in this game.
It wasn't fun, since that involved pretty much being ignored strategically by (almost) everyone. However, I think it was important for me not to show desperation. It's important that people come to their own conclusion that they want to keep me.
Now it’s time to get a little more aggressive again and solidify some deals to make sure I have a shot at advancing myself to the end game.
I know Craig wanted to get Chris out last round, and had a whole plan of wanting Fei/Myself/Him/Allan/Nicole/Alex/Mike to vote for him, but he had a lot of personal stuff going on so didn’t have the time to get the ball rolling. I truly believe he’s going to be looking to do the same again this round.
Nicole and I chatted last night after Alex left and made a comment that we need to make a plan for this round. Sounds like she’s on board to not seeing me go next.
Allan's also mentioned to me that she likes me a lot.
Alyx got on call with me again before the Rico vote and filled me in with what everyone else was doing… again. I mentioned to her that Fei / I were talking and that we’d like to work with her / Joey moving forward (truth). Alyx and I both agreed that regardless of Joey / Fei, we’d like to work with each other too.
Fei I’ve got nothing to worry with. I’m letting her vote for me every round so she doesn’t have to piss anyone off yet. I know she’s going through some stuff right now outside the game, and if I can at least make the game a little less stressful for her, I will.
I’m confident Allan doesn’t want to see me go either.
So that leaves me with a large number of people who I truly feel will not want to see me go this round. It's time for me to try to get the target off Fei/Allan/Myself and onto someone else. Preferably, someone like Chris/Jared/Debbie/Mike... who I'm not working with at all.
Blue = Trust the most
Green = Think I'll be able to trust
Yellow = Kind of just their imo
Red = Would like out
