E8: a coalition of minnows

hey, by the way mods, do we know if this game is a final 2 or 3 or 17? i'll be cross with you if you won't say. don't be micronesia.

hot take: this challenge is actually going to be used to split two tribes of 5

i feel like either i'm very wrong about how liked i am (possible - sidon didn't share patty having an idol with me i think, no one at all is telling me about auction items apart from kass...) or someone is going to figure it out soon and try to take me down

today so far is just chill and chat here and there. understandably, it is a bit quiet. will be interesting to see how the landscape is different now.

there are so many items in the game and i know so little about their locations. patty probably has a vote manipulating power; epona has kass' steal a vote because he's a goober (she still has not told me this. bad horsey.). mipha could easily have gone home with something.

the remaining idols are also a concern. there is a limited number of players who can possibly have them though. given kass' unnecessary speech to me about playing without items, i feel like that'd be a pretty weird thing to say sitting on an idol. that puts Courage on sidon, oaki or gone; spirit orb on horse or hunnie.

i figure this immunity will again be given to whoever people want to kill the most, which at some point is going to start seeming like lame design if it happens repeatedly.

i hate this twist with the passion of a thousand burning suns.

let's just make oaki immune for the rest of the game and call it a day
