New tribes. Not surprised. I'll try to talk to people tomorrow. I notice 5/11 of them are former Gunlom, so hopefully that doesn't make the other 6 band together against us. I'll figure something out.

The reason why I want to flip on my tribe and intend to do so down the road is because they frustrate me. Like, Chicken just suggested that Gary get the immunity clue rather than him for picking such a great tribe. The thing is, everyone else will be able to see right through this and through Chicken's explanation about it because Gary's already been to Ubirr and now gets a second opportunity at a clue to one of the three idols/prizes/whatever like JT. It just increases the probability of the Gunlom group being targeted down the road.
At some point, I'm flipping and working with Erik Huffman from Burrunguy. I doubt we'll stay on these current tribes more than 1-2 rounds.

Erik and I had a good discussion yesterday about our tribes and our positions in the game and agreed that we'd at some point unite and turn on our tribes with maybe one or two of our closest allies. Neither of us is content just sticking with original tribes until the end of the game. We also discussed his tribe's vote and how Eliza appeared to be going home, but he was able to use former Gunlom member Richard as a secret vote to apparently blindside Amber, who also self-voted. So, I have a lot of information coming in about that group, and he has a lot of information coming in about our group that we'll be able to combine together later to figure out a plan to take control of the game.
Chicken also appears to like me and told me all about Gary and his trip to Ubirr. Apparently there are three prizes (idols?) there and one clue wasn't enough for Gary to get anything. So Chicken tried to get Gary sent back there a second-time, but his suggestion was interestingly overruled which may suggest the 5 players from Gunlom really are on the outs on our tribe of 11.

I just read the instructions of the challenge for the first time (after pretending to agree with every strategic idea that someone wanted my opinion on last night). My question is, seriously, are these people on my tribe TRYING to throw it? We're not coordinated at all, and Ethan's incredibly flawed list is just going to confuse people because they won't know what they're personally supposed to post in their confessionals. We're going to lose comically bad.

As expected, we lost the challenge. Did we even have a chance? I doubt it. The 5 of us from Original Gunlom plan to stick together, recruit Ralph, and vote for Bob Dawg who has been to Ubirr. Apparently Fabio is organizing a resistance to get the 6-non Gunlom against us. Ralph pretended to join them, but he says he's with us.
So will this work? No clue. It's a little sloppy, but we're risking it. I have no idea who the Gunlom target of the other 5 is, but if someone's lying, obviously that person could end up going home.
