Ok pros and cons.
Chase: Likely friendly with all of his original tribe. Potentially has 4 allies.
Cheddar: Has one usable ally in Lucifer. Maybe.
Chase: Game goes to 6/4/4. Likely one of us ends up paired with a pissed off Cheddar if we have a tribe rebalance.
Cheddar: Game goes to 5/5/4. Very even. One of us is with a pissed off Chase if rebalance probably.
Cheddar really likes you. Is ambivalent towards me, but sees me as friendly and an ally.
Chase likes Cheddar and I expect will cut and run if he makes it out of here.
And I've just had an idea.
I'm glad that we have each other too. To be honest with you, I'm more close to you than Judy and Lennie, so I hope we're on the same page with that.
I'm super close with Jake and Scruff. In case you swap with them or one of those two, definitely try your best to be allies with them because they'll have your back. Also, please do not tell this to Lennie. I don't want him to know that I'm super close with them. Can I trust you on this?
I believe that at some point in the future, you, Jake, Scruff, and I are going to work together.
I agree, there's been some stinker tribes but this one might take the cake, four in a row is pretty hard to find.
I understand, and I agree. It's a difficult position, for sure.
Leon just pitched me Cheddar, Lennie pitched me no one, so if they're actually united against me that kind of sucks for me, thank you for letting me know.
I want to say that I want to keep working with you going forward, and I can help us all by bringing reds in, I think they're open minded and would be willing to help the underdogs. But ultimately after all the crap we've gone through, I am will this tribe and would stay loyal to it. I don't know if the thought of voting me out has come up, but if it has, I think I do have value.
Rust is cool, a little less active due to being busy but still pretty active.
Nick is very social and outgoing, he's friendly. If you see him, tell him I haven't watched Hot Fuzz yet.
Detective Pikachu is pretty cool, he's a little harder to carry a convo with. Ask him about legos.
Penelope is alright, I like her well enough but she was also among the least active of the red tribe, not sure if her activity has picked up or not.
When I mentioned Leons name was out to Lennie, he doesn’t seem like he’ll be pissed pissed about it.
He definitely prefers Chase going, but he was essentially like if it’s gotta happen it’s gotta
Yeah, exactly, and like you said, I'm kinda leaning into it. I'm still doing the "well it's difficult and we're down to brass tacks" but still making it clear that I would rather not vote Leon.
Yeah, I mean, if I were in your position I'd gradually move it towards "look, I think the others are most comfortable voting Chase, and that's not hugely likely to change" and maybe "with so few people and a likely swap coming, we probably should mostly be thankful we're not in the mix"
So serious question, would you rather vote Cheddar here? If you wanted to push for that, I wouldn't object. I think my slight preference is for Chase but I don't want you to feel reluctant to voice a preference counter to that. Similarly, if you had thoughts on Judy or Leon, I'd be open to hearing them. We've said it many times but you're far and away my closest ally so I'm open to whatever you're thinking. I suspect we're on the same page that it wouldn't make sense to do that, but anything you say to me is between us, so please feel free.
Haha, yes, I definitely was thinking of that particular swap, though in that case, they swapped from 2 tribes to three, so all it did was reduce their options and guarantee one of them goes if they lose.
Zat ees probably smart. M. Cheddar's last message to me ees zat you seem to be open to a M. Kennedy vote, though, when my whole argument to 'im ees zat voting M. Kennedy alienates you, so zat kind of makes eet 'ard. But honestly I've already decided I'm not lying to 'im about eet. Eet ees not worth eet to damage zat relationship zat much, so I'll just be honest about my reasons why (not mentioning our alliance). I'll do eet tomorrow eventually, assuming zat 'e ees around.
I don't think we should vote M. Cheddar. I think eet would just drive M. Chase away from us and into ze arms of ze reds on ze other tribe. M. Cheddar I think 'as a much 'igher chance of still wanting to work with us zan M. Chase 'as in zat situation. I at least feel emotionally closer to M. Cheddar, and eet seems like you do too. But thank you for checking in, I appreciate zat. <3 Eet's nice to know zat you care so much about what I think. You're my closest ally too, by a mile, and when I find zat person in ze game, I will be 100% honest with zem.
I actually do 'ave something to tell you about M. Kennedy, 'owever. Zis ees a new development as of 'is last PM to me, and I don't think eet necessarily 'as to change zis vote, but eet does make me open to ze idea of moving ze votes on to 'im. M. Kennedy does not want you to know zis, and 'e specifically told me to keep eet from you.
So apparently M. Kennedy ees incredibly close to M. Peralta and M. McGruff, as in I am basically assuming ze three of zem were in an alliance on your original tribe. So basically, the implication of 'is message was zat 'e ees okay with you and Mlle Judy for now, but long-term 'e wants to work with M. Peralta, M. McGruff and me. I 'ad no idea 'e felt zis close to me, I assumed zat 'e was closer to you. I did not mean to give 'im zat impression.
So yeah. I just think zat ees important information for you to know. Does zis mean we need to immediately vote M. Kennedy out? Absolutely not, though if zat ees something you feel more comfortable with zen I would understand and we could do eet very easily. But 'e ees not 100% in with zis tribe nor ees 'e 100% loyal to you, and zat ees incredibly important information to 'ave at our disposal as we plan ze next stage of ze game.
Ze fact zat 'e ees including me does give me faith zat 'e would do zat whenever 'e tries something though, and zen as long as I know what ees going on, we can plan around eet. Obviously I don't want any of zis getting back to 'im. Maybe ze right path ees to vote 'im off now instead though, and if you think zat, we could definitely make eet 'appen.
So yeah. I'm about to go to sleep now, but please keep zis to yourself. We can decide if eet's ze right call to act on eet or to sit on eet until we need eet later in ze game. Regardless, you are my partner in zis game, and I can't wait to make eet all ze way together. I don't care 'ow much ze odds are against us. We are going to overcome.
