Final 13... =/

Saas’ Saasy Solicitations

Hi there! Saas here. Congrats so much on making it to the merge! I’m incredibly proud of you. Or I will be proud of you if you answer my solicitations thoroughly, so make your responses good!

1. How do you react to Oaki and Ancient Oven returning to the game? Is this good or bad for your game? Do you think it could be a revolving door where the returning players are immediately targeted, or do you think Oaki and Ancient Oven will be able to integrate into the existing alliance structure?

2. There are many potential items either already introduced or soon to be introduced to the game. How does this change your strategy? What items, if any, do you know about, and how do you plan to use them or play around them?

3. The merge vote is often a crucial round that can set the pace for the rest of the game. What options do you think will be on the table? Is there anyone in particular you want to target? How are you going to make the merge work to your advantage?

4. With so many swaps, are tribal lines still something you’re thinking about? What tribal lines, if any, do you see mattering moving forward?

5. Endgame is a long way off, but are you thinking about it at all? Of the 13 players left, who can see yourself sitting next to in the end, and who do you definitely want to avoid sitting next to? Why? What steps are you going to take to get there with the people you want to be with and to avoid getting there with the people you don’t want to be with?

Thanks in advance for your insights, and good luck moving forward in the game! Defeat is coming inevitably toward all but one of you, but fight and do your best to not make too much of a fool of yourself.

So there's a lot going on and I'm not really keeping with my confessional, I know. I'm also perfectly content to be a "passenger" for this Tribal.

It sounds like it may be Link. This sucks because I kinda reached out to Link at the start of the merge to reaffirm that I would still like to work with him, and I would let him know if his name came up? But I'm also not going to raise a fuss on a consensus vote at FINAL 13 when I have no idea what the rest of this game has in store. I'm worried I'm going to turn into a pawn/goat in this game but I've also decided I'm not going to spend so much time on this game that it stops being fun. This game is not my job and I'm not going to spend 6-8 hours per day doing this... probably more like 3 hours per day is what I can manage without facing burnout. And if that's not enough time to devote to this to play adequately, then these games might just be at too high of a competitive level for me.

I'm wondering if Mipha and Urbosa might flip the vote onto Royal instead of Link and leave me out of it. Maybe? The good news is that I don't think I'm the primary target of anyone, unless if Link is upset at me for ghosting him and he idols me out... otherwise, if Royal goes without my knowledge then there are worse things.
