Plan for vote:
5 of the Lomand alliance's 6 are voting Laura, though we will say we're voting Natalie. Natalie votes Katie. Natalie is playing an idol and will use the throwaway vote to avoid a tie assuming Laura also plays one. So then it'll be 10 nullified votes and 1 for Katie.
In reality, Ossa's 5 is not voting Natalie (thanks to me and Katie lolz). So Natalie's idol will really do nothing. If Laura plays the idol like she should (on the recommendation of Katie), it'll be 5-1 Parvati going home. If Laura doesn't then she's probably going home on a revote if I don't decide to flip.

Some of these that I won legitimately surprised me. Biggest hero? Friends with outside the game? I honestly thought I would compete for floater and nothing else. Good to know people trust me/like me though. It makes me think a little bit deeper about how flipping would effect my game. I wonder if my flipping this round, and blaming it on Woo would be believable. Or if eventually I'd go from the hero to the snake that the jury hates. We'll see I guess. The vote should be Jim right now, maybe Laura if they wanna be deceptive.

Oh and Woo was the scapegoat choice because he's the goofy off the wall kinda guy that could easily be blamed for flipping. As if he was never fully committed to the alliance. If all works out me and Katie will be chillin together at F9 with some options and an idol. Woo has been relatively quiet so hopefully we can sell this as Woo going while I go super ninja stealth mode bitch

Natalie is freaking out that everyone is gonna vote her out. So I guess this just moved from a #blindside to a #notreallyablindsidebutneededtowritesomethingtoshowthatitwasnolongerablindside.

I definitely took some heat for my move. It's expected. I think I could've definitely been guaranteed final 6 with the Lomand group but after that I honestly don't believe I'd make it super far. Joe and Woo are probably easy boots but I don't know why they'd take me very far beyond that. If I was getting positive awards like hero and being friendly then I feel like I'd be a pretty obvious 4th boot if I don't win immunity. I don't view myself as that strong in challenges and to be honest going final 6 with them wouldn't be that fun to me. It's a game, if this means I lose then I lose. I'm not gonna be torn up about it. But I'm 90% sure none of them would want to take me to FTC. So the way I looked at it is that I could be guaranteed final 6 and maybe final 4. But from there I would have to win out in challenges/play my idol to stay around. Over here I can go final 5 with 1 unquestionable final 2 ally. All I need is that one indication I'm going out from Katie and I can play my idol. Plus I think we (mainly Katie) can sway the other Ossa into ousting Jim in a final 4/5 situation because he's the obvious frontrunner now with the numbers.
Final tribal might be in jeopardy with the bitterness but Abi seems to be kinda ok with me and Joe has gotten over his temper tantrums before. Also, ideally, I'm in final tribal with Katie/Liz. Two people that seemingly were choosing to stay in Jim's shadow the whole game. If I can get to the end it would, as a result, validate my strategic gameplay and allow me the opportunity to explain just how much control I've had thus far in the tribals I've attended. The only real reason someone could think I played a worse game than the other two would be because it didn't help their game. Hopefully the logical side of them would win out. If I get to the end then it proves that I outplayed them, pretty well if I would say so myself.
So for right now I'm sticking with the Ossa's. At final 7 Katie and myself can consider using the 2 remaining Lomand to get rid of Jim/Laura. Keeping Jim around MIGHT be a good idea in terms of having that obvious guy you want gone at final 4/5. So then if you take out Laura you give people the choice of going with Jim to the end or going with me. I don't want another of the Lomand alliance in the end though, they'll get that whole block of votes just because they made it.
This choice could very well be a bad move but I feel like I'll have greater ability to control the vote over here than I could over there. Once we got to final 6 I'd basically be at the mercy of the other sub alliances on Lomand. At least here I have Jim thinking I'm with him and Katie keeping him honest.

The vote should be 5-4 against Woo tonight. We figured it wouldn't really stir up too much trouble and he's proven to be a likable guy. Natalie probably smokes him

Jim has said to his alliance that they need to go along with what I want voting wise so I want to stay with them.
I've also learned Jim wants to take me out at final 7 while possibly pulling in Joe. Guess who I'm suggesting we vote out at F8......? Joe duh.
Katie and I want to leave Abi and someone else in the final5/6 range as a possible vote we can get. There's going to be SOMEONE there so I might as well make it someone Katie and I might be able to flip.
But all this final 7 stuff makes it a lot more likely I'll have to burn my idol before I want to.

Jim is flipping his vote back to Joe since he'd be an idiot to want to go to rocks to keep Joe over Abi. His reasoning for wanting Abi out is totally valid and he should be worried. That doesn't mean I'm just gonna let him blindside my future ally . If I'm going to use anyone to help me get to the end in the Lomand alliance it's gonna be Abi. So I'm just gonna let Jim take the walk of shame back to the voting booth and admit defeat on this one. That's what I thought bitch. I've known/organized who's going home every tribal council I've attended, I'm not gonna stop now. We have final 7 coming up and it'll be 5-2 in favor of 'Ossa', this is perfect time to blindside Jim or Laura though. Not to mention Katie and I just gained the trust (to an extent) of Abi and So. Surely they'd welcome the opportunity to blindside one of them. Jim has already told Katie he planned on taking me out next round so it's really the only option for Katie and I. Jim will go home and we're at final 6 with Aras, Katie, Abi, So, Laura, and Liz. We'd probably look to take out So or Abi from there. Then Laura at F5. Then Abi or the returnee next. Then whoever is left at F4. Aras, Katie, Liz F3. Oh and I still have my idol. Not sure when I'll have to play it but we'll see.

Jim is almost surely gunning for me. But I believe I have a much better relationship with Abi/Sp than he does. Considering he tried desperately to get Abi out, idiot. So now I get to watch him leave, hooray

Hey guys I feel like it's been a while. So basically the plan in place right now is to stick with So/Abi and vote out Laura. I wanna be able to stick with Liz to the end if only because she's been looked upon as a follower with no social game. This, if all goes well, would be highlighted by the fact that I "saved" her and strung her to the end through no work of her own. At final 5 Katie and I would use Liz to vote out So. We would then (most likely) see someone return for the second F5. In this case Liz probably scurries back to Jim or maybe Abi hooks up with Joe or So. I wouldn't count on either of their votes and look to play my idol just in case. The returnee is up in the air so it's tough to formulate a hard plan for the second F5. Final 4 is gonna be tough regardless of who we bring. Luckily, worst case scenario has it going to (I assume) a fire at F4 due to me and Katie tying it between one of us and either Abi or the returnee. That's the ideal plan, but shit happens and I'm expecting it to. We'll see what happens I guess.
Also Natalie can be as bitter as she wants. Of course I'm going to still pander for her jury vote but I'd honestly laugh if I got to FTC and didn't get her/others' vote because they were on the wrong end of my successful moves. If I do make it, I think I'll have a badass resume. Hopefully they could (wo)man up and see that. I'm not there yet so we gotta keep on truckin though

This is like the same crap Jim tried to pull with the Joe vote. They tried to get Liz out either because they know we'll work with her or just to be difficult. Basically my task now is to convince them it'd be stupid to go to rocks to save Laura. And, most importantly, make them vote Laura over Liz

The plan right now is for Liz to vote with Katie and I against So. Right now I'm considering telling/offering that to Abi to try and retain a bit of trust going into our second F5. I'll want her vote against whoever happens to return. I don't wanna completely blow it with her even if I have the idol for next round. I'll keep you guys posted.
Like even if Abi wouldn't want to vote with us I can at very least make sure Abi isn't totally blown away by the fact that So could go home.

I told Abi and she's allegedly going along with the So vote. As of what I know it should be 4-1 but I'd honestly be surprised. if So wasn't scrambling with Abi to rope in Liz. Gotta have faith I guess.

Hahahaha saddest fake idol play ever. All you gotta do is just change the url it's connected to and we'd have no way of knowing if it's fake or not.
