Pengu

**Pengu** was a player in Mythvivor: Greek Islands and in Mythvivor: Valhalla - Second Chances.

## Greek Islands

Pengu started Mythvivor: Greek Islands on the Apollo tribe. Pengu voted out Ariana with the tribe for her relative inactivity and then Revelr with the tribe during the double tribal twist.

At the swap, Pengu became a part of the new Artemis 2 tribe. He swapped into the original tribe line minority with his fellow former Apollo members, Isa and Steven. He also swapped with some members of the former Artemis tribe, Parker, Glitter, Yekaterina, and Mars. Thankfully, this tribe never went to tribal council.

At merge, Pengu worked with his original Apollo tribe majority with Aidan, Evan, Steven, Ross, and Jess along with Thicc. They planned to vote out Glitter. Thicc appeared to have flipped on his former Artemis tribemates, but was working both sides, and had leaked the vote to Yekaterina, who played an idol on Glitter. This idoled out Pengu's ally, Ross.

At the following tribal council, Pengu still felt solid in the original Apollo tribe majority. However, he was blindsided when some of his former tribemates flipped and voted out Aidan instead of Isa. Pengu's alliance voted together against Yekaterina, but Parker played an idol on her. Pengu's ally who had just voted with him, Jess, was voted out.

In "I Should Go to Tribal and Bark," Pengu attempted to vote out Parker. However, the former Artemis and Isa majority voted out Thicc who they deemed a flipper.

Feeling stuck, Pengu, Steven, and Evan needed to get someone to flip. They decided to vote for Isa in hopes that would be their best shot of getting allies. Steven played his immunity idol on himself. While the trio were unable to make new allies, they were able to stay strong and take out Isa. Unfortunately, once Steven's idol was gone, Pengu's ally Steven was targeted instead for being a threat.

Once Steven left, Pengu was finally able to find a better footing in the game. He voted against Mars with Parker and Evan. While the vote tied at first, Glitter flipped on the revote, and Pengu was able to be on the correct side of the numbers.

In "Alas, I Take My Final Bark," everyone including Pengu saw Parker as a possible target for the following tribal council. Unfortunately, Parker won individual immunity, throwing a wrench in everyone's plans. Pengu wanted to target the other big threat, Yekaterina. However, people were more worried about Parker winning final immunity. They were concerned that Pengu would not be able to help them beat Parker in a challenge relative to Evan and Yekaterina and Glitter were loyal to each other. This meant that while Parker wanted to vote out Evan for being a challenge threat, Yekaterina and Glitter turned on Pengu with Evan instead, hoping to take Parker out through the Final Immunity Challenge. Pengu was voted out in a 3-1-1 vote. At the reunion, Pengu received the Host Favorite Award from Ace because of the fun and unique perspective he brought to the game.

### Voting History

1 Yekaterina played an immunity idol on Glitter. This negated all votes against Glitter.

2 Parker played an immunity idol on Yekaterina. This negated all votes against Yekaterina.

3 A 3-3 tie occurred between Evan and Mars. Pengu kept his vote the same.

### Ace's Thoughts

Gorgeous Pengu I stan! Honestly people are going to get mad at me for rating Pengu this highly. He didn't really do much of anything besides being a goat in the early portions of the game. But that strategy worked for him because it kept him around long enough to start making deals with people. Somehow he reached across the aisle and found allies in Parker and Yekaterina in an important time and used Parker to take out Mars. His social game was great in the late game.

## Valhalla

Pengu started Mythvivor: Valhalla on the Draugr tribe. While he first voted for Survivor, this cracked the game wide open. He voted for Andrew with the tribe at the next tribal council.

Pengu swapped onto the Verdande tribe, where he made quick bonds with his counterparts from Haugbui, Licity, Goober, and Norah. While he was hesitant at the start to vote with them against his former Draugr tribemate, Sybil, he eventually chose to do so. When the 39 Stones challenge occurred, Pengu was very unhappy with the "Verdande Communism" set-up that sent him to Baldur tribe, which would be attending tribal council. While he tried to get Goober to work with him on an alternative, this did not pan out. This would hurt their trust on their new tribe.

While on Baldur, Pengu remained frustrated with how things went on Verdande. At the first tribal council that Baldur attended, he voted for Licity despite knowing that the tribe's majority would be on Skylar. He did win the following Boat Tour challenge for Skuldelev, with his partner, Peanut, and did not attend the Sunk tribal council. However, he still remained frustrated with his former Verdande tribemates. Pengu voted for Goober at the final 13 tribal council where they all voted for Licity, who had asked to be voted out.

At merge, Pengu had gained a reputation for being untrustworthy due to his rejection of "Verdande Communism" and stray voting against Licity and Goober. Despite knowing that Dennis was not the plan or the fake plan at the merge tribal council, Pengu continued his strategy of stray voting. He "stray voted" for Dennis at his vote-out. At Final Tribal Council, Pengu voted for Norah to win the game.

### Jay's Thoughts

Pengu’s game this season was quite the sight to behold. Always a phenomenal character, it felt like Pengu had a little bit of a Charlie Brown feel to him. To start the game, Pengu was on the wrong side of the Moonool idol play, then agreed to let go of Andrew. After a couple of tribal wins and voting out Sybil, Pengu voted for Licity in the 6-1-1 vote that took Skylar out. Two votes after he was the only person to vote for Licity, he voted for Goober in a 4-1-1 vote that saw Licity go home, a move that Goober was not very pleased with. Pengu was the merge boot and because of the pre-merge twist was actually not the first juror. Still, in an all-returning season, making the merge/jury is no joke, and Pengu did that. Still, it is a little funny that Pengu attended six tribal councils and only voted correct at two of them. Pengu is an absolute joy to watch and an incredibly funny person, so I very much enjoyed watching him this season.
