I am so fucked. Articuno's dead, I'm down an idol, and Uxie's going to run to their Valor friends and tell then all about my devilish ways.

Nope. The time stamp on the previous previous Haiku was :09 and this one is :12. This challenge is over for you, two correct haikus.

Meltan is a slimy rat. Apparently he's trying to target me because I'm an easy vote, despite me saving him previously? I personally would like to apologize to Solgaleo-- you didn't deserve to go over that lunatic.
More detailed confessional coming tomorrow.

Well, I sort of fell asleep there.
To answer Giratina's question (admittedly very late), my best friend is undoubtedly Poipole-- I've spent the whole game with him, and we're even willing to share idols with each other-- while my worst enemy is Meltan. He talks about being loyal, yet mentions my name at the first chance he gets? I'm so done with him.

Anyway, I think that the spectators deserve more than just a few short confessionals every few days, so I'll give them my whole thought process throughout this merge.
So I hit the beach of the Harmony tribe, and my first thoughts are "I'm in a huge load of crap". More than a few people immediately asked me about the last tribal I attended, where I was forced to use one of my idols-- and to be completely honest, I'm still scared out of my wits due to it. Like I said through another thread title, 'Idol hands are the Devil's workshop', or something, and having this thing in my pocket is more of a curse than a blessing because it causes me to always have to be looking over my shoulder. The paranoia this brings is insane-- it's like I'm Gollum in that one Lord of the Rings movie, except instead of an invisible ring it's a Max Repel that I stole right out from under the nose of those dumb Valors.
Speaking of the members of Valor, I think I'm kind of obviously in the hot seat here, mainly for what I pulled during the last tribal. I would have died if it weren't for the idol I played. (Can you imagine going out with two idols in your pocket? It would be a Mafiascum first, I believe, and I would be salty for years to come). Thankfully, I trusted my instincts, and now I've reached the merge. There's still a potential that I could fulfill my curse, though. For those who aren't aware, I've placed 9-13th in literally every single anonymous game I've played, and there's a very real possibility I could get 11th through my own overconfidence. Luckily, I've learned that having an itchy trigger finger is a good thing, and I believe I'm in a much better position than I was those other five or six times.
If I do play the idol, I'm at least guaranteed tenth-- but then I'd be at risk the very next tribal, because I've been keeping it a secret from basically everyone but Deoxys and Poipole, both of whom I know are very close to me and have my back. This is a lose-lose situation, but obviously I want to place as high as I possible can. I'd like to make it to mid/late merge for once in my life.
I'll give my thoughts on all of the remaining players soon, but for now I have to take a break for a minute or two as I change classes.

So, I've had my chance to interact with each and every person involved in this merge, and let me just say: there are some that are awesome, but a few that I'm surprised even made it here in the first place. I'll do this in the form of a trust ranking, starting with my most trusted and ending with my least.
First of all, let's go with Poipole as my most trusted. He's always had my back, and I know I can go to him if I'm ever feeling doubts about a potential vote, such as this one. We're currently sharing the Max Repel, and in the case that I feel confident I'm not going to need to use it, I'll lend it to him, just in case I get blindsided later. He's one of the best allies I've ever had, and I'd want him to carry on my glorious legacy.
Next, we've got Deoxys as my second most trusted. He's kind of like Poipole, but slightly worse. I've told him about both idols, and that we're sharing them-- but really, when it comes down to it, he's just an expendable number. The reason he's this high up is because he's solidly in my pocket, like Articuno was, and can defend me if need be. He's not so much a shield or partner as he is a pawn, someone that I'll easily win against in the end.
Third, I suppose we have Hoopa. I've fluctuated on her in my rankings a lot, but I now think that she's a solid ally and can play a decent support role in things. Her main use, though, is as a shield-- there's always the chance that Meltan will want to go for her, since the Solgaleo vote where she was adamant about keeping the lyin' lion, and I believe he still is holding that grudge against her. Other than that, she is definitely a threat to win the whole game if she goes unchecked.
Then we have Celebi, who's an official member of an alliance with Poipole, but not someone I'm very heavily invested in. She hasn't exactly done much beyond send long messages, but I do still believe that I can count on her in a pinch-- at least, I'd like to believe that-- and the fact that she could be a good ally in the same vein as Deoxys is definitely a reason not to gun for her any time soon.
I feel like the next person would be none other than... Mesprit? She's been fairly open with me so far, and despite the lack of messages between us, I feel as if we've formed a half-decent relationship. Celebi and Hoopa have both stated that she's someone trustworthy, and since she's voted with Mystic before, she's alright in my book.
Uxie would be higher if it weren't for the fiasco at the last tribal. He's stated that he doesn't want us to go after each other, and so far, I've heard no evidence to the contrary, which makes me think that he may just be serious about it. However, the fact that he voted for me still remains unchanged-- which makes me think that he's likely to do it again if given the chance.
I guess Regigigas would be next. We haven't yet gotten into any strategy talks, but for a newbie, he's surprisingly likable. I suppose we have a sort of 'friendly rivalry' going on-- and although I'd like to take our relationship to the next level, I'm not sure if he feels the same way or not.
Down low would have to be Tapu Lele. Unlike some others high up on this list, we haven't talked that much, and I feel like she's only engaging me for the fluff more than anything else. That being said, I think there is the potential for an alliance to spring up there. However, we've talked the least about the game strategy-wise, and I'm afraid that if the pace isn't retrieved from the ground, the metaphorical bridge with her may just be burned.
Who else but Volcanion would be near the tail end? I get that he's a foreigner, but it hasn't even been a whole round and I'm already tired of him. I don't think there's a chance of us getting together later.
Finally, we've got the weasel himself, Meltan! He's completely lost all of my respect after bringing up my name to people, despite me supporting him during the Solgaleo vote. If I'm sent to the Jury and he's still in the game, I'll most likely do everything in my power there to make sure that he does not win. And those who have known me in the past can recognize that I can be a very, very bitter juror if I want to be. There's too much at stake for me to lose to this deformed blob of metal.
Wow, that was a lot to write.
Complete rankings:
Poipole
Deoxys
Hoopa
Celebi
Mesprit
Uxie
Regigigas
Tapu Lele
Volcanion
Meltan

@mods I know I'm not allowed to directly quote PMs and post them in Tribal Council, but am I allowed to quote messages from defunct tribes like Mystic 1.0?
