Episode 5: A Small Station

[Sam Shakusky]

It tells young writer that there is a swap immediately after this round, meaning he wouldn't be left stranded on Rushmore Academy if he mutiny'd.

Am still thinking on if it makes sense though.

[Sam Shakusky]

At this point I feel more comfortable with Oracle side than Gustave/Richie side which feels weird.

I'm still trying to figure how I feel so much trust in him now but was over-optimistically hoping to blindside him this morning.

Like is he really that charismatic? Is their something that affected my opinion that I'm forgetting about?

Do you want to be kidnapped and taken to Rushmore? Regardless, someone from your tribe is going to be taken away by the pirates. If you don’t want it to be yourself, do you have a plan to make sure it’s not?

I do not want to be the stooge. I no longer have a plan and our tribe is probably gonna be determined by that unknown method. My main goal here is for Herman to not mutiny because if he leaves both the easy vote and a vote that isn't going towards me are gone, which will make the round potentially worrisome.

[Sam Shakusky]

Thinking long long term

Anthony and Duke are the people I can see taking me to F5ish and perhaps further. Anthony will for sure think he can beat me at FTC (although that's probably correct), and Duke probably would see me as someone he's more likely to beat at FTC.

Oracle and Suzy are more likely to try to cut me at some point, though for now I can probably convince them I'll be loyal to them and Duke.

The problem with Gustave and Richie is that I think they're likely targeting Anthony and Duke respectively after the Herman vote. Also it is less clear how they feel about me. Ideally one of these two is gone prior to Merge, but not sure if that's gonna happen, especially if they get swapped together.

Writer I'm struggling with, I have been unable to see who's he connected with and me pushing his name will probably get back to him if it hasn't already.

[Sam Shakusky]

Hoping to not get swapped. Also hoping neither Herman nor Duke get swapped.

[Sam Shakusky]

Richie being the stooge might have been my ideal scenario.

[Captain Sharp]

What's the next step of your ideal scenario?

[Sam Shakusky]

What's the next step of your ideal scenario?

I am still trying to figure that out but it's probably Richie and Peter being voted out at tribal councils 5 and 6.

[Sam Shakusky]

Gustave just told me they were voting you :I

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Sam Shakusky]

I am very concerned about this vote.

[Sam Shakusky]

i have heard your name out there, so that would be why Young Writer's ghosting you. i don't think duke is on the table now, it seems to be between you, peter, and herman. i haven't decided who i'm voting yet, because this tribal is just plain nuts. i'm considering voting you because i've struggled to connect with you and thus have a hard time trusting you; this isn't anything i can really criticize you for, it's more that our playstyles just don't mesh well. if it does end up being you, i'm sorry, and i hope you do well next time - in another tribe, you could have done really well.

Anyway I think Anthony's on board with the plan to vote flip:
Peter/Doublevote/Sam/Herman/Anthony

With Young Writer immune and Duke not being important we're considering between Oracle, Suzy, and Gustave.

[Sam Shakusky]

Writer's ghosted me and is obviously voting me.
Gustave flat out said he's voting me.
Suzy is very bad at hiding she isn't voting me.
Oracle is trying to cover up the other's tracks.

Duke's the swing vote.

[Sam Shakusky]

If I go out because Herman doesn't cast his vote in time in gonna be sad.

[Sam Shakusky]

That awkward 12+ minute timeframe when you're not actually sure if you're still in the game though.

[Sam Shakusky]

Noooooooooooooooooooo

[Wes Anderson]

Sorry, Sam, this was not intentional... there was a last second change on the other tribe that made me have to redraft.
