Lol so, my tribe makes a stupid immediate decision to give the Loki scroll, and who do they give it to? The Alumnus. And not just any alumnus. The alumnus that was bound to dig his own grave and be the first one voted out.
Like HONESTLY, is it that freaking hard to THINK?! You want to use the Loki scroll probably against someone that's in a GOOD position in the other tribe.
A) It will motivate the other tribe to vote that person out in case the disadvantage has something to do with the next challenge. And if that person is in good standing, BAM, there goes the glue to the tribe
B) It will lower their morale to have someone they wouldn't expect getting disadvantaged to bring down their team.
C) They're probably less likely to vote someone out JUST because they have the Loki scroll, so the disadvantage stands. And that helps us more.
It's unfortunate that people don't think long-term. They don't realize that Noah probably wasn't well-liked to begin with and was probably going to crash and burn in time. Same with Sebastian, that kid is probably going to dig his own grave. But my tribe just didn't think on this one, they were all like "ZOMG PAST GAME DRAMA W/ NOAH" and acted on their instincts, which is freaking stupid. Past games more often than not just hurt current games if you take them into consideration.
Some call that meta-gaming and shit and yeah, I'm not a fan.
Anyway, I think I'm in really good standing with Drew and Britti still, I think I'm both of they're closest allies. This is very very good. Things are still going pretty much according to plan, I don't want to lose soon if I can help it, but if we do I think I'll be able to dodge the bullet. We'll have to play it by ear either way.
But I'm definitely excited for tonight's challenge! I love word games, so bring it on
