E13: we're either here to play nice or we're here to win

she also just casually drops the line "btw i think urbosa has 400 idols"

one reason i don't want to play my arrow now is that this challenge is super winnable for absolutely anyone

another is that if they need me to arrow her next round they can't vote me out this round. >_>

im also not really sure what the distinction is

why was killing kass something she needed to make up for but trying to kill sidon was somehow worthy of thanks

those are both my friends

Saas’ Saasy Solicitations

Hello final six! You’ve all overcome great odds to get to this point and are officially in the top 28.57% of this game, so congratulations! One of you will be the Sole Survivor, but unfortunately, five of you will suffer humiliating defeats yet, either by being voted out or by being lambasted by the Jury! 

1. Please summarize last round from your perspective. What do you make of the events that led to Oven’s elimination? Was this a good thing or a bad thing for your game, and how does it affect your plans moving forward?

2. Many items which may or may not still exist in the game might be expiring soon. What items do you know about? How does it affect your decisions when items might or might not be in the hands of your friends or of your enemies?

3. Assuming that this game is a F3 and not a F-something else, what is your ideal F3 at this point? What odds do you give yourself of winning if you get to the end with that F3? At this point in time, are you prioritizing getting to the end at all costs in order to plead your case in front of the Jury, or are you prioritizing getting to the end with the best possible shot at winning, even if it means your odds of making it to the end are lower?

4. Have you started thinking about your pitch to the Jury at all or writing your speech in your head? What do you think are your biggest strengths and biggest weaknesses when it comes to winning a Jury vote?

5. Please rank your fellow competitors from the person you most want to be eliminated this round to the person you least want to be eliminated, and explain why. What steps are you going to take this round to eliminate the people you need gone?

As the numbers dwindle, it’s time to do everything in your power to give yourself the best possible shot at winning. The decisions you make now will determine whether you’re a victorious winner or an embarrassed loser when all is said and done. Try not to screw it up.

i already summarized in the e12 thread. i think it was good, but i won't know for sure for some time yet.

2. Many items which may or may not still exist in the game might be expiring soon. What items do you know about? How does it affect your decisions when items might or might not be in the hands of your friends or of your enemies?

i'm not sure if friends are even a meaningful concept anymore. that's happening a bit earlier than it usually does, at least fmpov. maybe i should put more effort into my relationships with the targets and see if they continue to believe i'm not like that.
anyway items. uh, epona has a half idol, sidon has an extra vote, that's all i can remember knowing about. if i assume the high end of mipha's idol info to be true, and also assume that the half idols count as idols for it, there are 2 idols unaccounted for, one of which is the master cycle which can't be with sidon/revali and probably isn't with mipha but she could've gotten it from hunnie and just be lying lmao. there is a good chance i currently have the most idols.

At this point in time, are you prioritizing getting to the end at all costs in order to plead your case in front of the Jury, or are you prioritizing getting to the end with the best possible shot at winning, even if it means your odds of making it to the end are lower?

revali and mipha, but i'd be ok with it if sidon were there instead of one of those. i am prioritizing getting to the end with a shot at winning; i have no interest in allowing epona to destroy me thank you.

4. Have you started thinking about your pitch to the Jury at all or writing your speech in your head? What do you think are your biggest strengths and biggest weaknesses when it comes to winning a Jury vote?

a little bit. i'm going to have to pitch myself as a michele type- social, stable/reliable in a game full of last minute deadline antics, very well positioned and able to convince basically everyone i would work with them at the same time (the number of people who i think considered me their #1 simultaneously around f10 is ludicrous, though maybe they were lying) which allowed me to dodge votes, which is exactly the thing you want to be in a game with this many powers: just not targeted at all. my weakness will obviously be the strategy component as i have done absolutely nothing, and i'm dreading the biggest move question

5. Please rank your fellow competitors from the person you most want to be eliminated this round to the person you least want to be eliminated, and explain why. What steps are you going to take this round to eliminate the people you need gone?

urbosa
epona
sidon
mipha
revali

this is literally just a threat list with revali and mipha switched because he's more calculating and she could easily decide to drop me because it's funny or something. if urbosa doesn't win, she'll be in hot water instantly, i don't need to do anything. my plan is to try to get revali to target epona and make it between them, may the most items win.

current rupees: 1397
gonna farm for a bit and see if i can get a good estimate on rupees/hour
