~*Ronald Weasley’s Closing Statement*~

Hey everyone! If you are still reading! Haha. I guess this is the end! I guess the one positive to everything is that I get to end this out and have completed the entire journey!



It has been very fun at times, and I have enjoyed it a lot. I wish I could say this final tribal council was fun as well, but it was not for me. If I am being real, it was actually very hard to go through. I did not realize the reality of the way I must come across to everyone. I must have been a lot worse at how I treated everyone as they were leaving then I realize. I am sorry for this. I did not realize it at the time, and I do regret that I made people feel this way. I really cared for people in this game and I don’t think I showed that very well in return.

This was a fun ‘out’ for me in my real life. I thank everyone who talked to me during the game to have given me that fun and that “out” from life!

I stated in my opening that I took a long hiatus from games and this was the first one in a long while. To be honest with you, this isn’t the first time I have heard these same critics by a jury though. It isn’t something new. Therefore, I realize it just must be something in me that comes across very badly when playing these online games. I apologize for that. I wish everyone the best and I hope you do not take the way I have treated you to heart. I didn’t mean anything personal against any of you or harm.

Good luck to Mirabella and Draco! Who both played great games! Congrats!

Thank you to the host and everyone who gave us this great game to play! It was soooooo much fun to play. Best of luck to everyone in life + future!

~*Ron’s Response to Pomfrey*~

if you were to win this season, how do you think you would be remembered?

Ronald Bilius Weasley would be remembered as a fighter that was a dominate strategist to obtain no votes against him the entire game until the finale <3.



The one thing Mira mentioned that I can agree with in her opening statement was that I was a perfect Ron rep. I am not the most articulate. I am not going to wow you with my verbiage and vocab. If anything, you are going to catch me in about a zillion spelling errors that I try to correct live on your screen. I am not the strongest or most powerful wizard in the challenges, in fact the only challenge I would have won was by guessing the amount of posts the jury had in the viewer’s lodge.

Instead, I was the guy everyone wanted around. There was always someone worse then Ronald. What about that Rita? She is annoying, she is loud. What about Snape and all his gadgets that he got from the room of requirement? Or Mira and her idols? Or Lockhart and his Lockhartedness. What about Pomfrey/Fred and how close they are, or Angelina’s badassness and ability to make people love her. Everyone had a bigger target then me and I was able to work alongside you and Fred to make each boot the way we wanted them to go—to get ourselves one step closer to the end.

If you are a survivor fan: Think of Sandra in Pearl Islands. Never to win an immunity challenge, never to obtain a vote against her.



If you are a big brother fan: Think of BB3’s Danielle Reyes, and her ability to stay in the middle of the game and never be nominated until the Final 3 with Jason.



That is the picture of Ronald in Enchanted 2. A fighter that played and manipulated from the middle to get each round the way I needed and wanted it to be.

~*Ron’s Answer to Angelina Part #2*~



Alright, the thing I would like for you all to do for me is to tell me one memorable conversation or interaction that you each personally had with each of the jurors and also compliment one thing about their game play. The only rule is that you cannot answer this about me!

Newt: The most memorable conversation with Newt is when I was going into the tribe with Snape/Lockhart/Amos/Mira/Draco/him/I. I was nervous at this point about being on another tribe with Lockhart. The potential of being targeted, etc. Newt calmed me down, and it really helped me enjoy talking to him. He told me that he didn’t think it was going to be a long-lasting thing that I should worry about. This gave me hope when I didn’t really have a strong #1 anywhere. I felt alone, because I put so much want to work with Lockhart on that previous tribe and with Rita/Cormac who weren’t on this new tribe.

The compliment for Newt's game is his compassion and ease to speak with. When he was around, he was great. I know he mentioned we were on the surface mostly, talking about HP, etc. I know I had a guard up with him but he was a compassionate person that bled through the conversations I had with him. I felt much better about him every convo, I could only imagine how his game could have improved if he was around more to give that likability. He could have been a threat to win.

Lockhart: Oh gosh! I have had so many memorable conversations with this man. I think the best one was about bubble boys and some type of bug. He went on some rant of having bubble boys that pop in this game, and we must be careful of them. It was a hot mess, but hilarious. I still have no idea what a bubble boy is or if I was one. But he claimed I was not one. Lol. I just ultimately loved having bitched about him to everyone else, but I could still go to him and spam my anxiety. I had Pomfrey vibes with Lockhart in terms of my relationship and trust. Pomfrey was my rock throughout most of this game, and I think my biggest mindfuck at the start was Lockhart. How can you enjoy someone so much and literally LOVE talking to them but at the same time despise them gamewise. It was a mess but prob some of my fav convos.

The best part of Lockhart’s gameplay was his ballsyness. His ability to make people trust him and also fear him at the same time. If Lockhart did not leave in 11th place, I thought he was going to make it deep into the game. I felt like people enjoyed his company and his ballsyness with the way he was playing. The fact that during the start of the merge, I was not getting any info from half of this cast because they were working with Lockhart.

Maxime: My best moment with her was when she was telling people to vote for Fred, and then she knew I was telling people that she was annoying me with this Fred vote shit. Mostly, Angelina/Pomfrey/Fred. I remember her coming to me with Angelina’s chats and asking “am I annoying you Ron?” …and then later that round my favorite quote also came from her that ‘you are no floater Ron.’ <3 When I brought up the Lockhart chat and the need to vote Lockhart instead of Pomfrey/Fred. LOL. It gave me life.

I think Maxime had a strong social game and that was my favorite part of her game. I don’t think she was always socially aware. However, she was very social and constantly talking to everyone as far as I seen. She had a bond with Angelina, but also with many. I think if she tuned into the way she was coming across(and maybe I can too Maxime, lets learn that shit together) she may have been able to see how she could have calmed down and lasted a bit longer(Amos could have easily went instead of her).

Amos: My favorite conversation with Amos was after I voted him pre-merge. I started, or he started, with why we never were able to talk game prior to that. I explained that voting him was no loss for me because he was the only one I couldn’t speak game with. He explained how he felt the same and he didn’t know why it was the case with me. From that moment on, and into the merge. I loved talking to Amos. We broke a barrier that was able to continue talking about things on a day to day basis about movies, tv shows, etc that we had in common. But also, game. I didn’t feel like we were ever allies. However, I had a respect for him that I don’t think I had pre-merge because of that conversation. It was a virtual shake of hands, okay! <3



I think my favorite quality of Amos’s gameplay is his adaptability and calmness. This was shown after Lockhart left, and him wanting to stay. He was open to making moves in the game. He was also very calm, never over the top, I admire that quality. I sometimes cannot sit still, and I just always imagine him sitting perfectly still. <3 it

Lily: Oh gosh! I have so many favorite Lily conversations. I think my favorite one is probably when we spoke about cats though. She called me cat daddy, and always sent me cat gifs that had me laughing in real life. I think that initial bonding of cats that caused that link was great. Any time I would speak to Lily, it would brighten up my day though .I don’t know who is behind this character, because it seemed so developed. I don’t know if it’s a real person, but if it is, I am very happy to get to know them and hope the toddlers stop getting attacked by the cats or other wild animals!!


My favorite part of Lily’s gameplay was her loyalty. I feel like she was loyal to Angelina, and when she said she wanted me to stay—she wanted me to stay. I think that part of your game is admirable. The more badass part of your gameplay was the ability to survive. The double vote, and this mysterious cloak that I still wonder if it is real? When you think Lily is out, think again -she is coming back with something else to stay in just one more round!

Cormac: I loved talking to Cormac about life, about movies. I think the early times I spoke to him were gold because I felt like we connected very well. It is hard for me to remember specifics on the original tribe or the new tribe with Rita. However, a recent conversation he mentioned the move Love, Simon = I didn’t know this even existed. I feel like I learned something new when I spoke to Cormac, and I felt like we could speak about being in master’s programs together and the discussion posts and it felt therapeutic to me. Boring to others, but something that I needed. I felt very related to Cormac and who he was, because it just seemed very similar to where I was at.

My favorite part of Cormac’s gameplay was his ability to seem shielded but safe. It was the oddest thing for the start of merge with him seeming to be with Amos/Lockhart/Angelina/Lily to me, in some way. But I could not place where. I didn’t know if he was tight with Fred/Pomfrey until I spoke to them more. It was confusing, and I think that ability to make sure his game was not transparent was very neat. I still do not know what he was doing during merge to survive, but it was working. I think the ability to keep himself shielded and safe in that way is something I do admire. I always felt like I was more transparent.

Fred: Lol. I think our conversations ranged from me telling you to get rid of cable and just stick to the antenna, and some adulting. And then going on talks about marvel Netflix shows. I think my favorite has to be when the auction finished though. You told me you had the petrify power, and I knew you were going to be an ally for me. Up until that point I did not know what I was going to do if Pomfrey/you had your own thing going into this merge. I was looking for a way in, and to survive. When you told me this, I felt like you were saying “I am here for you man.” So it has to be my favorite conversation.

The best part of Fred’s game was his ability to remain unseen in his ability to play both sides of this game. His ability to have an alliance with Pomfrey/Myself in the middle, also having a deal with Mira. He was able to go back and have Angelina/Amos/Lockhart include him in the votes to split, when still having his real game being played with us. It was the art of playing both sides and staying safe in the middle. I think he did this very well, and with very little blood on his hands.

Pomfrey: Girl, you were my everything in this shit. I think any and every conversation with Pomfrey was something of expensive art quality. From us bitching about everyone in the cast, to you introducing me to HQ, Cash Show, and that other live.me where you got me talking to webcam men. I think my favorite conversation has to be at the end. You weren’t hurt that you were going home. You didn’t have a personality change. It was a closure I felt like to our bond. It was at moments like this that I was crossing my toes you weren’t going to hate me that I was always thinking of other options beyond you. However, deep down I don’t think you would. I honestly have enjoyed playing this game with you and Fred. I know I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your ability to play both sides with me. You were my left hand(cuz im the right), and I have enjoyed every second of our conversations.



The best part of Pomfrey’s gameplay was her ability to not be called upon, same as Fred/Myself, for making some major moves in the entire merge. Maxime’s blindside, Angelina’s blindside = the people behind this were Fred/Pomfrey/Ron, sitting in the middle there was Pomfrey talking closely to these said people on all sides of the game. Her ability to manipulate, socialize was impeccable(big word, yahh).

Welp, I for sure rambled. Thanks for this fun question <3.


Finally, I would also like you to post your favorite Snape mem or gif just for fun!



Also, my parchment when I voted him out during the re-vote was pretty fun:

~*Ron’s Answer to Angelina Part #1*~



Ron I was expecting a lot from you as a finalist but have been left underwhelmed. From my perspective you are shoving your definition of a great social game at us. I will commend you on your ability to insult everyone else as game players. IMO someone with a good social game knows the importance of showing some respect to the other players. Please note I cannot speak for anyone but myself but this is the taste you have left me with thus far.

I am sorry that it has left this bad taste. I really didn’t have the objective of insulting everyone else when I was talking about my game. ;(

I did enjoy your attempts at gaining my trust by giving me items for the idol. I am interested in knowing though, did you know Mira already had the idol when you gave me your items?

No, as far as Draco/I were concerned—she didn’t. She had all the items the day I had the items that you needed. I gave you, as well as Pomfrey, items the day after. Mira claimed she screwed up that first try(which I believe she started the day you had the items) and then re-tried the day after—but kept everything sealed of when she found it. I did not know when. I ultimately didn’t care who got the idol between the two of you. I just was trying to make you like me, and want me around over her. I also was trying to keep her vs you instead of a potential Angelina/Mira coming together for an alliance against Pomfrey/Fred/Myself.

I did not go for the idol because I work 10 hour shifts and much of my communication with you all has been through my phone. I would not have been able to post 21 hours straight, unfortunately.
I also do not think I needed an idol to get to the end game, or any items. I wasn’t relying on that—I was relying on strategy, what I deem social game, and having people against others’ prior to myself.




I am also curious why you took the approach of constantly reassuring people up until the minute the votes were due, it seems as if you spent so much time fattening up superficial connections when your time could have been spent nurturing more genuine connections that sent people into the jury feeling like you at least respected them as a player.

I understand that, and maybe you are right. I do not think I did that for everyone. I thought with Lily, and with Amos—I was straight forward that they were the ones to go. Maxime, and yourself, were blindsides. Lockhart was a blindside. I am not going to ignore you guys prior to the vote—because you would have thought something was up. When doesn’t Ron spam you? So if I suddenly stopped, it would have been odd.

I still understand your critic here. Maybe I view this differently. Maybe I am cold-hearted. I loved getting to know people in this game. I love emotionally connecting to people, and I think sometimes when I then play the game dirty. Or I lie. It almost makes people do a double take..but it doesn’t change the bond that we formed. I am just playing the game to make the moves to better myself. I don’t know if you/I ever reached a strong bond. However, I was trying because I knew how good of a game player you were. I couldn’t have ignored you and felt safe in this game. I couldn’t have ignored you and only had Pomfrey to guide me in the ways of Angelina—it isn’t the way I was playing. I was playing to have my hands in every jar to avoid getting votes or having anyone directly targeting me next.




--I will do the last part of your questions in a little bit. Feel free to ask me for any clarification and/or other questions as needed. Thanks—

~*Ron's Answer to Fred's Question*~



Thank you for these kind words! I have not been feeling very good after some of the comments and this has warmed by heart to see you think I am underrated. I appreciate that, thank you!!

I would like to ask though that had I not checked out at F5, would you have considered voting out Pomf over me? If I was legitimately voted out for being a potential challenge threat, then I feel like I would have been your best bet at a win and beating Mira in an FIC situation.

Yes! When Mira won the Final 5 immunity challenge, it was a 'oh fuck' moment. Going from the discord back to slack, my entire thought was 'fuck', i knew Pomfrey was going to bring up your name(her ideal at this point seemed to be more draco/her/me then it was u/her/me, due to you/her having such similar games. Also the risk of you being a winner for some; ie. I think Pomfrey heard this from Cormac. But I could be wrong). I knew that it was ideal for Mira as well because of the way we were discussing things(For her/I to have a draco, pomfrey f4 to have 2 ways to get to the end with either one of them).

The above did happen with Mira/Pomfrey being in agreement for you to go, and you also were adamant about being the one to go. I remember talking to Draco at this point. He hinted to keeping you and voting out Pomfrey, and I asked him, "would Fred do it though?" and he said something along the lines of: omg no i was just kidding, he hasn't mentioned it. Etc. I forgot why he mentioned it--but The only impression I got was that you were done. I never knew you would ever vote out Pomfrey from this game. If I went to you and asked, my fear would have been that you could get Pomfrey to then vote me out and I would lose that bond/potentially get voted out myself.

So long story short--yes, but not for the reasons of immunity challenge wins. For the fact that I think Pomfrey had a better chance to win then you would in the top 3 from my own perspective. It would have just needed a new alliance to form of yourself/Draco/me for the F3.

I never thought of challenge threat as the reason you were to go in 5th, I viewed it as you wanted to go + I had the F3 potential of both Draco/Mira and Draco/Pomfrey.

Thanks for the question!
