Tome 08: Exile

My focus this round is to lay low and regroup.

I've done what I could to guide suspicion toward players like Sidon and Kass who, while I think both are still invested in the foursome of Sidon/Kass/Kohga/Urbosa, are likely to target me sooner rather as a means of appeasement with other players who can be strung along: the Horse, Oaki, Patricia variables of the game.

People have taken note of the fact Kass passed information to Patricia, which sent Mipha home.

People have taken note of the fact Sidon apparently knew about Patricia's idol, but followed through with the split vote plan to mask his true allegiances. 

They both have access to multiple lines of information, and that is something that will propel them deep into the game if no one checks their ascent.

Meanwhile, I've been pushing the narrative with Hunnie and Oven that voting Patricia was the only way to guarantee all of our safety. I've not yet tried to push any blame onto Sidon or Kass for that falling short, as I need to feel out where the two stand.

I also tried to extend an olive branch to Patricia. I "came clean" with her that I cast a vote against her, but only because I didn't see any other way of potentially protecting Mipha. This could ultimately blow up in my face, but there's also potential for her to respect the honesty -- especially since many more players were overtly gunning for her (and I did my best to keep myself out of that category).

This ultimately is the only think I can think of as far as eliminated player management -- if Patricia were to go and shared the story of me trying to avenge Mipha with people like Riju, Mipha, Teebo, and Link, then I might be able to regain an ally if Oaki's rumors about another return come to pass. My hope is that people like Sidon and Kass have been dragged through the mud enough that anyone who returns would likely gun for them before targeting me. It's a BIG calculated risk since I have to make a lot of assumptions based on speculation, but it's all I've got at the moment.
