Wow what a night!

A few questions for you to ponder over the next few days

1-How is everything going? Do you feel like you've made inroads with your tribe that can help get you to the end?
2-Do you feel like you have control of your game? If not, how do you plan on changing that?
3-Alec picked Mike as the new nomad. How do you feel about that?
4-Were you surprised how quickly someone took immunity during today's challenge?
5-Can you give us a breakdown of who you trust most in the game to who you trust the least?
6-As the numbers start to dwindle, it's inevitable that the tribes will merge. What is your strategy to not only make the merge, but to make the end and win?

That's all I've got, have a great night!

1 - Things are going well on Ahmar. I think I've made enough alliances and bonds here that will help me further my game. I feel like Kellyn, Mike, Sebastian, and I have a solid group going. Also Alec seems like he can be good to work with. He gathered some good info as nomad and seems like he wants to collab with me and others.
2 - I mostly feel in control of my game. I don't think anyone is gunning for me currently so that makes me optimistic. It is getting to the point where I probably need to start taking more risks and making bigger moves, but I feel safe currently which is a good place to be.
3 - Alec picking Mike seems like a solid move. It looks like the nomad is basically going to be Ahmar's unofficial extra member. So far Mike and Alec and Kellyn have all shared info with all of Ahmar about Fenassa so that is good to hear. I think picking Mike was somewhat arbitrary, as Alec just wanted to be back on Ahmar. I'd love to take a turn as nomad to be able to communicate with Robb and have safety from tribal, but I'm not going to push for it and put a target on myself.
4 - I was totally surprised by the outcome of the challenge! I was almost convinced that nobody would claim it and we would both end up at tribal. I had no intention of claiming it because I feel pretty secure on my tribe, and did not want to put an unnecessary target on my back. I didn't think anyone from Ahmar would take it so I figured we would go down together. Davie's immediate claim to immunity is a good sign for us, as it shows things are not all so dandy at Fenassa's camp.
5 - I trust Sebastian the most right now. He has been totally honest with me thus far, and I get good vibes from him. We hit it off almost immediately after the tribe swap. The runners up are definitely Mike, Kellyn, and Donathan. Same as Sebastian, we got along well after the swap and they've shot straight with me so far. I do not trust Ghandia or Steph that much (no surprise, if you've been following my confessionals lol). Ghandia always seems like she doesn't really want to talk to me and I never connected with Steph that well. Everyone else is kind of a toss up. I think the rest of my tribe is fine and I don't really know about anyone else in the game who I haven't been on a tribe with yet.
6 - I have a solid 4 with Mike, Kellyn, and Sebastian. I think we can have a lot of influence on how votes will go in the future. Hopefully we can stay strong and pick off the others in our tribe who we trust the least (looking at you, Ghandia). I want to reconnect with Robb after the merge since we were allies on old Ahmar. It sucks that Jed is out, but I think I could still have a good alliance with Robb. I just gotta keep my ear to the ground and be ready to make big moves against those who have too much power

Clay, we haven't seen much from you since the start of the season. Do you have activity issues you think or just aren't used to the pacing of the game? We really believe you have potential but don't want to see you fall out of this thing. What's going on?

[Clay]

Not gonna lie, my real life has been pretty nuts lately. I lost my job about a month ago and I recently started a new one that keeps me pretty busy during the day. Sounds like I misunderstood the time commitment people expect for this game, which is probably on me. I'm trying to play this game though, and I don't exactly know what I'm doing "wrong" at this point. I've been pretty active these past few days and the strategy conversations have been happening between me and several others. What do y'all want to see from me?

Quick update: Being nomad has been pretty great. I've talked to just about everyone in the game now and gathered a lot of useful info. Apparently Jed and Steph have been super tight since day one, and they were conning me and Robb. Sucks for Robb especially because he and Jed were tight, or at least he thought they were. It's good to talk with Robb because I wasn't sure if we would still be allies after the swap but he and I still trust each other very much.

I've talked to Steph a little and it sounds like she's in a rough spot since she lost Jed. Also it turns out (from Robb) that Steph wanted to get rid of me in the very first vote. I never got along with her so I am happy to get rid of her ass next chance I get. I've got a bit of a double agent thing going on with her and Robb, but I am definitely on Robb's side. I think she wants more allies now that Jed is out and she doesn't have as much power. Robb has proved to be super loyal and trustworthy so I am very happy to stick with him. I'm going to do my best to gain Stephanie's trust before the merge and then blindside her with Robb to take more control of this game

Interesting to hear about your nomad experience Clay! I'm curious though...Besides trust, what is going into your decision to side with Robb here? Have you considered both the short and long term advantages/ramifications of each as an ally?

I think on the flip side, my initial (and continued) distrust of Stephanie plays a part haha. I've also gathered from most people on the Fenassa tribe that they see her as a liability. She has been pretty volatile from what I understand, and is the Fenassa tribe's next target. I've heard they're considering throwing the next challenge just to get rid of her. That is, assuming we don't merge tonight which is what we're all thinking will happen.

In short: Stephanie has been two-faced from the start. As far as I know, Robb has been trustworthy and loyal to his alliances, which speaks a lot to me
