scuse me ZPD officer coming through to give more reports
Chan has created a group chat with myself, Rust and Chase which was a bit out of left field for me; he didn't mention it in advance at all. After further enquiries it appears to have been a result of Rust pushing him to do it. Regardless, it's fine by me - that seems like a pretty solid alliance and I think I'm one of the less threatening players in there (behind both Rust and Chase - Rust is a huge gamebot with social skills and Chase is a huge socialbot with game skills) so lots of threat to hide behind if this group sticks.
Pikachu mentioned that Kate had been discussing alliances, which was a surprise to me as she has only been talking history podcasts with me. So I suspect there's something going on there, probably with Kate/Penelope/Pikachu but I'm unsure whether Penelope/Pikachu are in on it. I would not be surprised to learn that Rust has a hand in it too if that's the case, but even if so I doubt it's his primary alliance. Kate's name is still being thrown around as an easy boot and I suspect that'll be the way things go in order to keep tribe unity if we do go to a tribal.
Penelope has given me almost nothing, which is worrying. I think I have good relationships with every other player here, but not to the point that I'm anyone's #1. Which is a weird feeling for me, because my playstyle is usually find a buddy to go the distance with as early as possible, but I think I'm content changing things up a little on that front and trying to stay a bit detached and under the radar. Can't be undercover unless you keep a low profile!
