E6: shutting the fuck up is the best way to win this game

Is it the answer to a jeopardy question though?

1. You’ve made the merge, congratulations! How does it feel to know that after all of your swaps you have finally reached this point? Does it make it feel any longer knowing you’ve only gone through 5 rounds of this game so far?! How many more rounds do you feel you have left?

I'm honestly more interested in having a day or two off from tribal than the achievement. Your mother is 5 rounds of this game. I have no idea.

2. You’ve had time to chat with most of the rest of the people in the game at this point. Is there anyone you haven’t met yet? If so, do you plan to try to reach out and see where their head is at? Either way, how do you plan to navigate this tangled web of a merge?

Horse and Mipha are new to me. I of course plan to feel them out. Horse is practically already in an alliance with me for web of trust reasons, but Urbosa has made some good points about how getting him out could benefit us. Right now, my plan is to not do much, see where things settle. It's hard to know what to do while you're still trying to find your footing and what the shape of things will be.

3. How do you feel about the new mod names and avatars? Do you think these are here to stay for the rest of the game, or are we simply trolling you? Speaking of trolling, what has been your most favorite thing so far this game that we have done?!

You'll probably change them back, but I find them amusing. I've actually liked every twist so far except for the no talking one.

4. Are you shocked by the Pelison boot? If so, what did you expect to happen instead? If not, what about Pelison do you think made him an ideal target for the other 5 who attended that tribal?

I personally guarantee you nobody will say yes to this; he was slated for the merge boot slot and went to one TC too many beforehand. It was just the easiest thing to do, and not allowing talking is a great way to make the least interesting thing more likely to happen.

5. 4 Items up for grabs here, but very cryptic names, what do you think each item does? Oh speaking of items, what’s the current gossip? Who's got items? Where have items been found? How many do you think are in the game?

Eh, I'm not interested in heavy speculation. Freeze made me think of a vote nullifier. I know nothing about who has items apart from Epona's half idol. The one unfortunate part about the advantage idols is that it means there has to be a power idol, and I don't know if I'll be able to pin it on Magda successfully.

6. Who are the biggest threats/goats and who do you like/dislike?

There are actually a lot of really social players in this game. And I'm still getting a handle on who's more or less strategic. Patricia strikes me as the least threatening player in the game at "a perfectly fine UTR game" and honestly everyone else is kind of a threat or could be one, it seems to me (not sure about Mipha yet).
I am the most fond of Kass, Epona, Urbosa and Prince Sidon. This also happens to be my top four strongest allies... but I usually ally with people I like so, no shit. I don't currently care for Link, though he could easily change that; I don't really care about Patricia; everyone else is varying degrees of fine.

Horse:


Oh man. Kass thinks he is in this instead of Revali, and this is the first I've heard otherwise.

Also, way to volunteer me for an alliance, lol @whoever's fault that is. I've agreed to nothing of the sort, which is usually a feature of alliances I wind up betraying later.
