Hybrid games are so taxing sometimes. I've successfully managed to establish majorities on both tribes I've been on so far, but it's always loose majorities that could easily be shattered. Doom's idol and the split vote plan, Susan causing problems and immunity items, then being blindsided here with a Hulk Smash. You have to do so much in these then establish a numerical advantage, which is hilarious because right now on paper we have a towering advantage. And yet I feel as vulnerable as if it was 50/50.

Schmidt/Rogers/Parker/Thor/Xavier/Mystique/LeBeau? That is a rather grotesque number of people on one side, and yet if things go right we won't have to vote for each other. I'm under the assumption after three more tribals we'll be changing things again at the F20.

It's a rather loose coalition. For example, if what Stark is threatening actually comes about and him, Banner, and Johnny are all immune, we're just going to vote out Remy. He acts as if this is possibly a devastating blow to us and maybe thinks this will make us scramble? It won't. Remy did not even know how we were voting last night. He may have thrown himself back at us as a vote, but we're all agreed he is an expendable ally. He might not have been had he stuck with us originally, but now he is.

Raven coming here ups our odds significantly. She's an instant ally through Xavier, and I can claim a deeper bond with her since Xavier mentioned this means we aren't "outnumbered" in our alliance anymore by the Xander's. It might mean if we HAVE to vote someone out from our main six, he might come to me to protect Mystique assuming the other three team up to take her out. I was originally cautious her tiffs with some of my tribe members might hamper our ability to connect, but I am so isolated on this tribe from my old tribe I don't think it will.

I do feel like I've managed my position here extremely well. I positioned myself as an "in-between" player who was forced on this side and had no choice, while clearly being a loyal soldier to my alliance's cause. I can definitely see the other side voting for me for whatever reason, but I don't think I've done anything particularly horrendous to warrant it. Within my alliance I feel safe as well, I have many options if I need them. My time with Rogers here has essentially upgraded him onto a level equal with Loki in terms of alliances.

I can make the next phase, and that is crucial I do NOT fuck up. It is around the average of where I usually bite the dust in hybrids, which have never been my forte.

Hook was swap fucked. There was no way he was going to get out of the Princess tribe alive. Assuming we aren't swapping to whole new tribes at F20 and I don't end up somewhere awful, I don't think this is happening.

Nazgul was not focused enough socially. Back then I just wasn't as well versed with making connections as I am now, and it was in the middle of me moving to a new city when I finally left. I don't feel disconnected at all in this game. I am able to make allies quickly and still have significant and possible connections on the other tribes.

Jill was too gamebot, too bossy. I lost control too easily at the merge. That is where I have to pay considerable attention in this game and make sure I do not overplay or underplay. I need to be consistent with how I am currently playing.

Tom Nook and Chao I think are examples of me finally getting a good formula in these big hybrids finally. I got like...sixth and fifth in both. They were open ID and had aspects to them this one does not, and I made mistakes at the very end that is typical of me in all games. I'm not there yet, but I just need to not fuck that portion up.

This is going to be my last game in a long while, and I will only make casual appearance in ORGs from here on out. I don't want to retire at all, I just need a relaxation of how many of these I play. There is no certainty I will do well here at all, we are still far out from that. Anything can happen. But I do feel like I'm on the right track, and it'd be nice to win one of these bloody fucking things finally.

Remy you idiot. I wanted Johnny gone, and you would have made the next phase if you had played that correctly, since Bruce would be a goner next. How could you fuck this up? I guess good bye. I mostly wanted Johnny gone and I don't care much for Remy, so this is annoying.
