That tribal council worked so good. I think Alexis was really conflicted about what to do, and she offlined me asking before the deadline. I just ignored her because I didn't want Jonas getting votes and possibly leaving instead of Rory. I'm so thankful for Tina, and I also will tell Alexis and Jonas I understand why they voted for me just in case. I can tell them the plan all along was to get them to vote for me so that I could get Rory out and that neither of them were my targets. Which is kind of true.
It looks like next immunity is final immunity, so I'm going to go like 20 hours to win that and get a locked in place in the finals. I think I can. I don't have the faintest idea if I can win or not. The jury may be too bitter. I feel like I outplayed them all and controlled this game more than anyone else from start to finish whether they want to acknowledge or reward that or not.

Why do I keep talking to Alexis? I'm probably hurting my chances and helping her by telling her stuff. Hopefully with Rory gone, no one will tell Alexis and Jonas what to do now.

If I make finals, my opening will be a story detailing my transition from hero to villain. Might as well have fun with it, right? I need to convey to the jury it's just a game and I'm having fun with it. Even if I don't get a vote.

Did damage control with Jonas now. Not sure if it worked completely, but had to try.

This is a bad week with homework. I basically worked all day trying to get work done so I could focus on this.
I want the energy to be able to go to the deadline if I have to. So I'm going to go to sleep for 2-3 hours and try to get up and give this a run then.

I just slept through my alarm and almost had a normal night sleep. Will start posting soon.

My net keeps blinking, and that's bad.

I'm starting to feel sick. I think it is because I'm multitasking and keep switching between tabs. I still want to and will try to go for hours and hours more.

Jonas just came on and went invisible so I assume I'm competing against him now. I hope he can't go until the deadline because I think I'll mess up by then. Getting too motion sick.

Just 1 invisible user here now and the total board posts is going up 3 minutes rather than 6. That makes me feel better about my chances.

I'm going to stop after 8 hours. If Alexis or Tina would have posted that long, I'd know because I watch the board frequently enough to tell even if an invisible user is on.
I interpreted the 5 minute breaks to mean "Don't post for the 5 minutes following your first 25 posts" and then posted again on the next minute. Hopefully that works. Otherwise I think I'm good.

I'm a little bit lost on what I should do this vote.
Alexis and Jonas think Tina's the biggest threat to win and will take her out. What I think Tina has going in her favor is that she doesn't have any major enemies on the jury and she will be viewed as extremely strong for all her challenge wins. Socially I'm mixed because she was really nice when you talked to her, but she wasn't on AIM regularly near the end.
Jonas was apparently a flipflopper before I met him, but he was a solid Jay/Menba voter ever since. I know a lot of people dislike him, but will he get the Menba vote for just being there and being loyal to them even though he hardly talked and had a weak social game?
Alexis played the most similar game to my own, but she didn't do it with the amount of allies or information that I did. Her actions were more like going along with the flow rather than shifting the balance like I did. I think Alexis had the social game that could work in her favor although I think strategically my game was like hers but better in almost every aspect. I think it's possible she'll get votes from Danni and Luoba's group?
Since I'm up against a jury that keeps smiting me, I think I'll just vote for Tina and hope that some Alexis and Jonas supporters split the vote for them while I can get 3 or 4 and claim the win?

I am like way behind with homework and super busy, but I'll try to Rites of Passage later. There's something about final tribal councils where they always come when I'm busiest.
