Margot's Conspiracy Board

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Peter Whitman has yet to message me. Coincidence?

I think NOT

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Fox is a chatterbox. I would like to find my way into at least a loose alliance with him, and use him as a shield or front for the alliance in case things go south.

Buckley is someone I'm interested in working with seriously throughout the game. I'm afraid it may be too forward to propose such a thing so early in the game, especially considering my absence last night, so I will build more of a repertoire with the puppy before springing the question.

I believe it best to share some information to build trust.

Max is nice. Everyone else is just a bit shifty.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Peter Whitman has an alibi for not messaging me.

He has been removed from the conspiracy board.

FOR NOW.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Peter Whitman likes gay books. Peter Whitman is very cool. I get to talk books with Peter Whitman.

I want to keep Peter Whitman.

[Snoopy]

SNOOPY THINKS TALKING IN FIRST PERSON IS QUITE THE STRANGE THING TO DO.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Fox is solid. His enthusiasm is valuable but may make him a target later on.

He’s inviting me into a majority alliance with him and Steve and Max. That’s pretty much what I wanted. I don’t want to make big waves here, but having the protection of Fox puts me in a good spot.

If people catch wind of our alliance, Fox should be the one with the target on his back.

Congratulations on completing the first 24 hours of Survivor: A Wes Anderson Production! In recognition of this momentous milestone, I have come to provide stimulation in the form of SPECTATOR ENGAGEMENT. As a note, please do be informed that these questions are being posted to every confessional in identical form. These are not individualized at all - please do not read any intent to guide or influence you, as this would most certainly breach some form of journalistic integrity that I surely hold dear as... I think my character is a journalist? Okay, I'm doing the thing where I type out all my thoughts and I've lost the plot. HERE COME THE QUESTIONS--------

1. With nothing to do but network with your tribe, you will hopefully have learned something about those who you will live with, fight alongside, and ultimately cut loose. What is the most interesting, funniest, or just plain weird thing that you now know about one of your tribemates?

2. Your first challenge has brought with it an interesting conundrum in the form of competing goals to vie for. What do you most hope to achieve when the Flea Market closes? What do you believe your tribemates will reach for?

3. As a hypothetical, consider the following:
"Someone is targeting you to be the next vote-out should your tribe to go Tribal Council. Who is it? Why do they want you gone? Who will you rely on to stay in the game? How worried are you that such a situation might arise?"

Thank you dear, and do remember to have fun!

[Margot Tenenbaum]

1. rat cannot stop talking about fish to Steve - I don't even know where to begin here.

2. While I am already solidly within one alliance group with Fox/Max/Steve. I would like to form another group with potentially Peter and Madame, as I have come to like and appreciate their level headedness. I think they will be better long term allies for me. Thus, before the end of next TC, I'd like to have this second official group formed. Not necessarily as a countermeasure to the other, but as sort of a backup in case the tribe dynamics shift or a swap comes around.

3. I would imagine the person wanting to vote me out would be Buckley or Klaus, the people who have messaged me the least and seem uninterested in working with me. While they both seem widely liked, I'm not too concerned with the political pull they might be able to utilize given the fact I believe I've made just the right friends. In fact, I believe if someone targets me it will be more likely they are signing their own death sentence.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

curious if rat/klaus is a thing

possibly rat/klaus/buckley?

[Margot Tenenbaum]

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Royal is sort of a free agent atm

if I can rope him into one of my groups we'll have majority in the tribe

I'd rather purple group be the dominant one in the end, but really it doesn't matter too much between blue and purple

I don't think the two groups of mine will end up clashing before a swap

[Margot Tenenbaum]

this tribe is weirdly quiet all in all

[Margot Tenenbaum]

this challenge is not going well yikeroonis

[Margot Tenenbaum]

getting this second alliance group underway may be very necessary if we lose another challenge in a row

[Captain Sharp]

What is the second alliance group?

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Me/Madame D./Peter/Royal have all but officially come together. There's no official PM chain yet but we're close to starting one I'm pretty sure. We have all expressed interest in working together.

I am just double checking on Royal's position and trustworthiness before I take the initiative here.

So far, it seems that Fox at the very least has no suspicions of any other groups forming.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

so, the target for this round is defaulting to Klaus

this is okay, good even for my two groups. Klaus lies outside of that, especially with Buckley becoming more ingratiated with some of my allies

however, this would also be the time that it's easiest to make a move against one of my groups

for example, if I wanted to take out someone I feel isn't long term alliance material on Blue, maybe Max? I could coordinate purple and probably orange to take them out.

but I'd probably make a lot of enemies doing that, and there's a swap coming... And Klaus going out is already beneficial to me?

[Margot Tenenbaum]

this round is likely to get spicy spicy

[Captain Sharp]

Tell us more about that.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Foxy absolutely does not want Buckley out for reasons ???

Foxy is very gung ho about wanting Madame out

me + Peter and Madame obviously do not want Madame out

likely, I'm going to make a move on one of Peter's team

I've connected with Max the least, and I think Max has the least social ties in the tribe, so he's my main target right now

It's possible we could go for Foxy, but that would be a difficult move due to how social they are

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Fox is probably a non-starter. Neither Steve nor Max will go for that vote. Unless we get wind Buckley would want to vote there, which seems unlikely, we are better off targeting Max/Steve, with Buckley as an unfortunate backup vote.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

It looks like Buckley/Royal/Peter/Madame and I are all on the same page.

Vote is leaning towards Steve.

[Margot Tenenbaum]

Fox and Max will be upset with me after this vote

That's okay

I think I'm learning that playing optimally often involves making some enemies

[Margot Tenenbaum]

I just have to convince Fox to hold on to their immunity idol this round.

I really want to keep Fox around if possible. I think having the Fox vs. Madame dynamic around as long as possible is really good for me.

I feel like

one of them is someone I want to go to F2 with

[Margot Tenenbaum]

I think Foxy is doomed in this game but I love their energy
