Dude... I hate this so much. Robbie is online but has not messaged me in over 30 hours. Surely the guy is the easy vote here. But him being online just stresses me out. Why not communicate? You have been to a TC before, you should know communication is paramount in deciding who goes home.
God I'm going to end up blowing my idol when we were all voting the easy target just because of paranoia -_-

Hmmm Robbie has now left.
This team sucks. So eerily quite...

The worst part about playing the idol is that all I'm doing is getting out Robbie. At least give me a better target then him...  I really have to think here... is Link/Revali honestly clever enough to pair with Robbie to blindside me? And if they are blindsiding me... would they target me over Urbosa? It honestly seems far fetched.. but these a-holes don't really give me much to work on. Revali gives a little security but isn't exactly that active. He only sends a handful of pms a day. |

I'm spreading a rumor that Robbie "insinuated" I am going to be the vote. If Link is secretly working with him then it should rile some feathers. If he isn't, then no harm done and no reason to talk to him about it (if Robbie is even going to talk with anyone)

And no new developments. I'm hesitant to vote because if I play the idol, I'm likely voting Link.
Suppose I'm being blindsided: Link/Revali/Robbie are the likely culprits meaning Link is lying to me so I would prefer him gone to the scape goat that is Robbie.
If I'm not being Blindsided: Then this plan sort of sucks and I'll have to throw urbosa under the bus or come clean to Link about my reasoning for voting him. He probably won't approve but frankly, I don't see Link as a big long time player in this game.

Haha well... Robbie just flat out admitted he is voting me for real now so at least my statement isn't false.

Is there a world where I get past this without playing my idol... hmm
I suppose I could bluff with it first and have a heart to heart with Link? Revali is pretty much useless right now.
I do think Urbosa is on my side.

Bitch get outta here with that. Everyone here is FAKE it's part of the game. That must mean this guy is super new. Yes, I am genuinely a nice person in real life but fuck off if you think I'm going to approach ANYONE like you just did. Now I'm even more conflicted cause lol...
This fucker is for sure voting me and for the most asinine reason BUT who would side with that? Ughhhhhhh..... I'm not being blindsided but Link/Revali could easily just say sure, lets vote out Mipha who is "social AF" as Revali puts it.
Gross... this is gross.

This is NOT the outcome I predicted. There is always another option lol.
"Hmm am I being blindsided or is this just an easy vote?"
Neither, Robbie is just toxic and doesn't like my play style. Still not sure if I should even play the damn idol!

This is the equivalent of playing poker with a 12 year old who hasn't learned how to count yet.

Ok took a break, worked out, got food... yeah feeling better but had to process this situation.
Weighing pros and cons can be difficult sometimes but here is why I'm making a potentially bad play by playing the idol.
Opposing Scales
On the courage team, there are three people left who could potentially have the other scale; Robbie, Link, and Sidon. While I do believe that Sidon is the most likely candidate for that scale, it's not impossible for either of the other two to have it (especially Robbie). Robbie has confidence that would indicate he is either trolling and doesn't give a fuck, new to the game and doesn't give a fuck, or has an idol and doesn't give a fuck.
Oaki leaving makes sense to me if someone on that team played an idol, either Kohga or Sidon, so if one of them leaves it's likely a blowback from the idol play. This is all speculative but by telling Robbie I'm voting him and he should play an item if he has it, that indicates to him that he is in danger. If he doesn't play it, then fine the votes are likely on him anyways.
I've told Link that I "faked" an idol to Robbie to see his reaction which is a reasonable reaction. Robbie is playing a very strange game but the consequence of my action is that Robbie is will now vote Link. By telling Link this, it sort of helps validate my vote on him and potentially scares Link into playing his own idol.
Basically, I'm playing this round with the assumption that:
A.) Robbie is a wildcard and can't be predicted in this situation.
B.) Link or Robbie have an idol and if I have to use mine, I might as well flush out the other.
C.) Robbie will be a target moving forward because how do you work with a guy like that?
The cons of not voting Robbie is that if the vote is on me, he will stay in the game and potentially target me in the future. It's not the worst case scenario because Robbie is kinda crazed and an easy vote target so here's hoping that not everyone tries to pick him up as a goat.
The worst case scenario is neither of them have an idol and Robbie goes home regardless of what I play.
Even that scenario gets rid of a threat to my game and reveals idol information to me as Robbie doesn't have it and Link likely doesn't have it.

Oh I forgot this!
Urbosa sent me a "if you get eliminated post" essentially saying it was great being friends with you and if one of us goes, please make it to FTC. She is working right now and I don't super trust her? But if she votes with me then I at least know that is genuine and can work with her in merge.

Also lets face it... my pride couldn't take going out in a round like this to a person like Robbie with an idol in my pocket. It's better to just end the paranoia now.

PLEASE don't blindside Urbosa in this situation. That would suck. I can't imagine they are crafty enough to do that and I genuinely believe Revali is just too busy and afk voted Robbie but on the off chance.....
Please don't?
