But you just can't turn down alliance offers and shut off communications with people, for any reason. People need to have reasons to keep you, or at least, less reasons to boot you than anyone else.
Like he could use this tactic to actually go a little deeper, but his talk of how he's not going to last ling is only gonna be self-fulfilling if he's actively gonna self-sabotage. Ugh, he has to see it too. You'd think he'd start picking it up for Erica's sake if for no other reason. Maybe she'll talk sense into him, because I don't think I can comment in his confessional without me pushing him to cop the fuck on.
Best case scenario - he takes the tribal shuffle as a fresh start and rethinks w/e the hell he's doing.
Medium-case - his new tribe has a noobs/vets mentality split and he is either protected by the noobs for this, or he flips to the Vets Erica has recommended and he gets protected until merge for it.
Worst-case - he gets booted next. Even with the shuffle this is a pretty likely outcome the way he's going on.
To that point Brenda.... he started that dumb ass thread AFTER he decided he wanted to start playing the game and try to make the merge to work with Erica.
It would be one thing if he had some underlying strategy that he was explaining, but he's not doing that. He's keeping up the act in his confessional. Unless it's not an act and he really doesn't give a shit so then why is he playing? You said he was excited that he got picked. I don't get how anyone could think completely alienating everyone in your tribe, threatening them in PMs, and openly declaring you will vote however the fuck you want to and you refuse to join an alliance is a good strategy in any universe. I dunno. It's a thing he's doing. And it's not even mildly entertaining to me even though it's a total trainwreck because it just makes no sense and it's probably going to make him one of the first boots of the game. But not in a funny way like a Zane or something. It's just awful.
Didn't you say you coached him coming into this?
*Note to self: never accept coaching from Brenda*
ETA: At this point I'm not sure the newbs wouldn't actively target him at the swap because they KNOW they can't rely on him for a vote or anything. Especially with people like Wendy Jo and Yve who are likely to flip and try to work with the vets.
What?
