This round SCARES me! Brett, Silas, and I are basically working together against Marcus, Russell, and Tracy probably. Although sides haven't been officially declared and some people are still playing both sides or whatever, I think that's how it will end up. Sadly, Brett and I didn't get very involved with the bar, so Silas is pretty much on his own for this challenge. My guesses were what Silas knew and then complete guesses. Russell made a lot of posts, and Tracy has connection with some of the ousted players, so we'll probably lose this. And I could go home. We'll see. If there's one round I need to be nervous, it's this one. I just really, really hope it works out.

Tracy is the Dirty Cop, meaning she won both challenges this round. Essentially, that's horrible news for Silas as he now is likely going home unless he pulls some crazy strategy. But if he does pull crazy strategy, then I'll probably be the victim of it. To my knowledge, nothing has happened, and Tracy's sending Silas home. And hopefully it stays that way although, honestly, it sucks for Silas. But he put himself into that position, and he had to realize that if we failed to win a challenge, he would be the victim. So what am I doing now assuming I stay and Silas goes? I'll be able to talk to Tracy more without fearing Silas will get super mad/paranoid. And I'll work on strengthening my connection to Brett, Marcus, and Russell. I won't have the Silas cushion to fall back on if the challenges don't work out, but hopefully I'll be able to get closer to other people and be able to make it work. Silas will want me to send Russell or Marcus home, but my focus will personally be on getting close to Marcus so that we can work together, control the challenges, and control the game. I can't let a duplicate of this round occur, or I'll be the victim. This game has been super quiet recently, and that scares me some. Hopefully Tracy doesn't auto-eliminate me. And poor Rocky --- he gave his gems to Silas, and now since Silas has 8, it makes the most sense for him to be robbed.

So I saw that Tracy robbed from me and thought, darn, I'm going to be auto-eliminated. I just started typing a message to Tracy saying it's understandable, and then Marcus IM's me. Apparently, Marcus may quit to keep me in the game? This is some pretty nuts stuff. If I'm taken out, I'm fine with it, but I'd obviously like to stay if that's possible. I also think he would, in his eyes, be making the right move because he's a genuine, loyal player and doesn't want to have to deal with the blindsiding and turning part of the game. It's gotten too rough for him, and instead of putting him through more suffering, he can just quit and feel morally redeemed. I feel bad for mistrusting him before, but he's been loyal and true to his words the whole time. I think it would make sense since the Execution occurs after Robber, so it's not like I'm immediately auto-eliminated, right? So if he quit and gave me his gems, then I'd possibly be saved, maybe? Or even if he didn't give me his gems, would we just advance to the next round? Lol. I may be thinking into this too much. I understand whatever decision is made and accept it.
