We begin with a quote:
11 Episodes ago, but guess what, finally complete. Then again, I'm never in any rush, I don't really believe in the quick turn on my first tribe, keeping them alive allows me a lot of cover to do things without looking treacherous and thus still being an attractive potential ally for people. People really need to learn that killing me is ridiculously hard (and usually requires a ridiculous twist as of late to do so) and they really shouldn't do it, I've learned a lot from the times people have been successful.
My path to the end is tricky, very tricky (then again so is everyone's). From earlier the jury was big on Sidon and I understand why, but going to the end with him might actually be the least of my worries, it's not a good match up but new wrinkles keep appearing. The last things Kass mentioned were 2 things, the first being that Epona was virtually unbeatable, and well, literally everyone agrees on this, like everyone. Khoga agrees, Mipha agrees, Urbosa agrees and so does Oven. Sidon might be the only person who doesn't (well or at least won't agree to vote them out) but also...Epona is kind of sucky in challenges. The goal might be cut them at 4 but that is a considerable risk, one I'm willing to take, but still....a risk to just lose the game coming down to a challenge which might not be to my strengths?
The second thing mentioned is far more concerning, because both Sidon and Kass seemed to imply that I am seen as Urbosa's Right Hand Man. And the biggest issue is...as of late it's kind of true. Urbosa and I have had really in tune reads this game, but who asks the other for advice more? Me to them. Who saved my game not once but twice with last minute vote flips? It was Urbosa. What I have over Urbosa is that I was able to actually play the middle. However, that means nothing if I don't actually do something against them, which needs to also advance my game or it's just me doing something "because I can" and I don't think juries are usually impressed by that. (Ironically because I was able to pull off the Kass move and it saved my game, this argument actually is pretty effective against Sidon despite him probably being a bad matchup for me, like he was well insulated but there's plenty of evidence to suggest between the two of us I played better, might not matter though).
Still now I have to weave through an endgame with potentially 7? idols still out and about with me having none of them, Sidon having an extra vote and a steal a vote somewhere out there with the itemless brigade? Unless Urbosa has some but if Urbosa DOES have some then fuck, my case against them is even worse huh...
Still I can probably beat Khoga, Oven, maybe beat Mipha and Sidon and can't beat Urbosa and Epona. Dumping Urbosa might actually be really good for my game if we immediately flip Khoga and pull them onto our side. Still, this is some dangerous waters as well, I've shared a lot of my ability to argue and give feedback to Mipha and Khoga so they might not be tooooo keen on making it to the end with me, so that's fun.
I need to think A LOT about what the next move for me needs to be, and that hinges a lot on what my relationship with Khoga, Epona and Sidon actually is. I've tried to make it obvious that I don't think last round was a big deal, but they might think I'm lying about it, which is sigh.
Strangely, I've been exactly in this situation before, on the outs from my first tribe, with a list of people to kill. In fact it happens quite a bit, but guess what, I've always outlasted my list, and I plan on making that the case this time as well.
