1. An absolutely heartrending challenge result today, folks. You all gave it everything you had, yet here we are. I'm very sorry. How are you feeling? Do you think Ivanhoe got incredibly lucky, or do you think they cracked the game?
I fucking hate this game now and I am angry at this challenge, because literally, they had to have gotten lucky. Our code was garbage, theirs was not. We couldn't have done it in any less than that.
(Side note, not that angry anymore, but still angry. It's more so the anger of playing a game you had no chance of winning from the start.)
2. At this stage in the game, what factors into your decision making at Tribal Council?
Honestly, just activity.
3. Even if you feel safe at this Tribal Council, do you have a plan if you're still with your current tribe two Tribal Councils down the line? Three?
If three TCs on our end have happened without the swap/merge occurring, I'm gonna ask Cephir what the fuck was with the game design, because that'd put us at four people, compared to nine, which isn't fair in the slightest. But, in this hypothetical, not really.
4. Is there anyone you're most curious about meeting from the other tribe?
I'm gonna apologize for all the snarky answers, but you tell me your answer to my counter-question. If you go into a crowd of people without talking to any of them, is there anyone you'd be most curious about meeting? The answer is no, because I know nothing about them.
5. Do you think attending repeated Tribal Councils is allowing you to come together as a tighter unit, or is it more likely to force schisms out into the open?
It's both at this point. I don't really know which one it leans more heavily towards, because I'm still reeling from the loss of that challenge.
