Joint Tribal!

Posting from my phone on the bus to work because I had a thought.

Because I don't feel threatened by anyone on my former tribe (the only people who know I want to go for Link long term are you two and Sidon), I'm happy to let you two determine the order of preferences.

If it becomes 3v3 and we can talk to the other tribe I'm happy to pull the courage player over (even if it is Link, as much as it may pain me) to turn it into a 4v2. I've decided I like the two of you and am happy to trust you guys with the decision.

Okay so based on what I've heard from y'all there seems to be one tribe with people that we all like, the Kakariko tribe. I'd rather not vote Kass out if possible, so I feel they're definitely our lowest preference.

Khoga might have an advantage (and if we have any idea on that it would be helpful) but in terms of relations he also has Robbie and Hunnie there, so if they're tight enough with you going there has the highest "reward" and well, I'm probably the person most at risk.

Teebo being with Royal White Horse and Epona is also probably a good match up, but I would feel bad tribaling with him to try and kill him, he's new at this and definitely gets some leeway imo.

Patricia's tribe is interesting, if Mipha is paranoid a guaranteed 3 votes on not them might just swing them, and Riju can probably be talked into.

Roscoe's tribe sounds like a time and would probably be an entertaining tribal, but organizing something with Link and Oven sounds like it'd be difficult to do quickly, and I'd be a bit nervous going up against Link.

So I think my preferences would be
Zora/Rito
Gerudo
Goron
Kakriko

Any thoughts from yourselves?

BTW one thing that just occurred to me, and I suspect it probably occurred to you guys too, but I wanted to voice it, I wonder if the tribal pairings that result from the challenge results stick around to create a new swap. Obviously we're not going to stick in these three person tribes, and it seems kind of dumb if they then did a random swap to 3 or 2 tribes imho.

So now I can read the tribes properly:

I think that Zora makes the most sense to put up first. Assuming we want protection (which is what I'm getting from Revali's explanation), Mipha and Riju will be very easy to flip. We can capitalise on Mipha's paranoia and then we can tell Riju that Mipha is paranoid and is likely going to flip so she should come with us.

If Kohga has an advantage, I'm not sure I want to go up against Rito. If he uses a steal-a-vote or something and knocks you out, I'm not sure I'd be okay with that. I feel like the three of us have the potential to move forward as a group and I don't want to lose that chance because we gave him the chance to use an advantage that we know he might have.

Gerudo I think is easy. Teebo sounds like someone we can work with easily enough, and Royal Horse I think would follow.

Kakiriko forces us to vote out someone that none of us want to. So I think putting them at the bottom is right.

Although the potentially flippable Oven is in Goron City, Link may well have got to him and, just like the case against Kohga, there are fairly good odds that he has the advantage. So we probably don't want to fight him.

I would suggest

Zora
Gerudo
Rito
Goron
Kakriko

But if Revali is really okay with risking going up against a maybe superpowered Kohga then I'm happy to see Rito above Gerudo

I mean I think that list is good, I'd rather not have to go up against Khoga if possible and while I would not love to gun for Teebo, it's clearly a better situation than that 1v1. Also the bottom 2 don't exactly matter as worst there are 2 tribes we can't pick from

Sorry I neglected this thread, the one thing I'd say is I'd really rather not go up against Gerudo if you guys are suggesting that Epona would be the target in that scenario, I don't really feel great about that being #2 on the list. I'd definitely rather go against Goron or Rito than Gerudo if that's where we stand with Gerudo.

Gotcha, I misunderstood. I'm fine with that then.
