Congrats!
Thanks Jeffery. Sorry this took so long to hit you back but I've been so busy for the past day or so. I'm ready for this merge though man, time to fuck shit up.
How are you feeling about your chances here? I don't know. I feel pretty confident that I won't be going first because of all the shit going on around here, but it could definitely happen. I will tell you how I feel after this first vote. It really is dependent on how much pull I have, and if I'm able to get rid of Ken here like I would like to. I fucking wish Mia wasn't immune so she could go home because she is a lot more volatile, but that can wait.
Are you confident in your alliances/friendships or are you exploring other options?I am confident in my relationships, but they shouldn't be confident in me. I pan on getting rid for all of the NuHiva Oa people besides Ralph and I before the final 6, just so I can say I avenged Vytas. I have a bunch of shit that needs to go exactly to plan, but I feel like a lot of people need me as a vote so I am not afraid to put myself out there to get my way. I am exploring every option, and whichever one I see is the best way to get Ralph and I sitting next to each other at the end is the road I am going to go down.
Who are the big threats and are they early merge boots or is it easier to go after group/big targets first?Big threats? Most of this cast. The only people I see as non threatening are Ken and Sarah, and even so Sarah isn't an idiot or anything. Ken is smart also, but he isn't here often so I don't really care about him enough? I am pushing hard for him to leave, so no being a threat isn't something that makes you a merge boot. I actually want the threats to be at eachothers throats a bit so that I have some shade these first few votes, but we'll see how that all shakes out.

I have a game plan, I sent it to ralph and I'm going to post it in here.

Good, good good I have a plan man and it's good and I'm gonna unload all of it on you. Yeah, us being friends is working wonders. I am trying to work something with Jojo by the way, we'll see how that goes.
Ight ok, so I have 4 phases to this plan.
Phase 1- F12-F9 (starting it up)
We vote out Lisa, Ken, and Mia. We tell Carter, Debb, Ashley that we didn't trust Lisa (aka exactly what they said to us about Vytas) and we get rid of the other two because they are the ones I think we are connecting with the least, yknow?
Phase 2- F9-F6 (Montevytas Revenge)
We vote out Debb, Carter, and Ashley. Revenge for Vytas pretty much, but it also puts us in a really good spot at the F6 for getting to the end.
Phase 3- F6-F3 (home stretch)
We vote out Katie, Jojo, Sarah. this is the easy part. Chad/Sarah fucking hate Katie, and vice versa so we can use that fact to make sure they don't team up against us and we can use them to take out eachother then. Then, we take it over with Chad or Katie depending, yknow?
Phase 4- F3 (winning)
Everyone loves us and we win.
THIS is why I am pushing so hard for Ken to leave soon. I think that for these first three boots we go Ken, then Lisa (using the refuge people that are left) and then Mia. The refuge people won't have anywhere to turn at that point because that other alliance is so close knit, and they will think Ralph and I think we are in for the long haul with them. I think it'll work.
