Yeah there was no way in hell I was winning that challenge, DNC or not. I was actually a bit insulted that my effort in the game was questioned in the tc discussion! But what can ya do I feel like the tc discussion threads are mostly people making up stuff anyway.
So this leads to now and since the last round I've been able to solidify myself with Pomfrey so now that when we are referred to as a pair I can actualy be somewhat confident in us actually being one and me not being left out to dry. Also have an alliance with Ron now so thats fun because he and/or Pomfrey suggested making a chat between the thre of us. Seems like I can be pretty decently set up! Just a matter of now not looking like the side kick to everyone and trying to be my own person so if it comes down to the end I don't need to say I'm riding coat tails. I think that it's too early and quite frankly not beneficial to me to be doing anything crazy, so for now I'll probably still try pushing my idea but perhaps be a bit more subtle about it.
Angelina posted in the Criplling Depression chat for the first time in a bit after the Lockhart stuff and she said that the Slytheryn idol was found posting a bunch of stuff including cedric's rep info proving it. Yeahhhh IDK if i believe her considering that she is the one who likely has access to the most ingredients. I do believe its gone but I also think that she is probably the one who has it meaning that it needs to get flushed ASAP. Just a matter of how. If it were completely up to me e would be voting Angelina out this round, but I have a feeling we are going to hit a bit of a snag.
Or should I say a big snag. Maxime doesn't want to vote Angelina and was pretty obvious about it when she pulled Ron, Mira, Draco, Pomfrey, and I into an alliance. She said that everyone seemed to agree we should vote Amos but than Pomfrey and I were bringing up our concern for Angelina and then nothing really....happened? Just kinda shrugged it off and went on with her day. Pomfrey asked me before this what I wanted to do for the round and I was pretty upfront in saying that I think at least I, and hopefully we, needed to vote with Mira and Maxime for this round after saving me the last one (if I betrayed them instantly I said I would call up the Zokiak killer for some tips on being a heartless psycho.) I'm not sure if my heart is still in it after a chat I had with Angie tonight!
So for context, I was baking some cookies at 10pm. Best time if you ask me because I had just finished up some work that had been making me want to jump off a building into a shark pit with spikes at the bottom made of lava. She messaged me asking if I had a chance to talk about the vote with anyone. Given the answer was yes and it was "well yeah I talked to the alliance chat I was just put in that I wanted to vote you out," I decided to go with the easier answer and say nah, I've been too busy for anything serious. She then proceeds to let me know about how Maxime told her that she has a majority vote ready for Amos and that she saved Angelina when it was going to be her and that this group includes everyone in the actual alliance.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That's dumb! Guess everything was leaked! Tried to play it as cool as possible. I asked for 10 minutes for me to deal with my cookies and also something IRL and I recollected myself and came back. I explained that we did talk about the vote and that she successfully called me out on that so I was willing to be open and honest with her the rest of the chat. She had also asked pretty specifically if I would ever consider voting her out, with which I countered did she know anything about the Lokhart plan. She claims she did not and said that the reason why she was so mad at Maxime was that she was trying to go to her about voting me out and she'd keep saying no so when she said she was going to do it and lied to her she was upset. Yeahhhhh IDK if that was exactly Angie saving me out of the goodness of her heart. But besides that, I still tried to make nice and went along with her about how crazy Maxime is and how she sucks and keeps putting people in plans that they don't agree tobe a part of. She said she wanted to talk to me "so you don't seem sketchy." Suuuuure, and now we were here complaining about Maxime. She seems to want to vote Maxime out I think and when I explained to Ron what was going on he seemed to almost agree? I wouldn't doubt if she was talking to him too and they obviously have a relationship, but I still think despite her leaky mouth/borderline stupidity (yeah sorry) it may still not be the best idea to go for Maxime this round. She's always going to be there and be a target. Again, if I had it my way I'd still rather it be Angie and blindside Maxime in that we don't tell her lol. mira seems tired of her doing this sort of thing so when I tell her tomorrow I'm sure she's gonna be mad. Draco was lied to when they said they were voting for me so I'm sure he isn't a mega fan either. I just want to get to Cormac because he gets sketchy of me for being in this group and not saying anything to him. I need to make sure to nail him down at some point tomorrow before the vote but I'm not sure when I'm going to get the time. Blegh, hopefully I get to it.
Just want to end off by saying thx to Dean and Cho <3 | | |

I was away for the weekend and didn't get to do much anyway. I told Ron that night about Maxime leaking stuff to Angie and Pomfrey the next morning right before I left for basically the whole day. I knew the potential problem would be that they'd want Maxime out and that I wouldn't be there to say anything to stop if even if I wanted to but I felt like they were going to find out from Agnelina anyway and its better coming from me because it builds more trust. I guess ultimately they were both able to basically gather the entire game against Maxime and Mira which is kinda lol.
Then from there it was getting late and I wanted to confirm where the vote was when they said what was going on. They said that Mira and Maxime were the only people who weren't going to be voting for Maxime and I felt bad lying to Mira yet again after she helped save me last round. I tried to tell her a bit earlier in the day that I was worried Ron and Pomfrey may be nervous about Maxime leaking stuff to Angelina and that she should maybe try talking to them just to make sure everything was ok, but either that didn't happen or it didn't work. I was fine with Maxime going moreso because it meant that it was someone who was a wild card and someone I probably couldn't ultimately trust in the end was going, but my problem was my total lack of involvement after Agnelina said something to me. Now that's one more thing Ron and Pomfrey will be able to hold over me if either of them make it to an FTC which means that I probably can't go to the end with them despite them probably being my closest allies.
What I am also worried about is that they have the same plan as me where we get to F7 or something and then use Draco and Cormac to gain the advantage in a vote so that they can vote me and the other one out so they go to the end with 2 people who may not get a ton of jury support. I'm trying my best with Cormac but I think that he is probably closer to Pomfrey than he is me and I'm not sure what to do except just keep trying to talk to him and reaching out even if he doesn't seem around. Whatever I guess, I'm nervous but just have to take it slowly and focus on at least getting that far because this game has been crazy.
That mostly catches us up to this round where I was worried about being a target after lying to Angelina the last round and her suspecting that Mira has an idol (supposedly). That me all the happier when ....
I WON IMMUNITY FIRST CHALLENGE WIN BBY!!!!!!!!
Finally, after so long, I won something on my own. Ironic considering the fact round 1 my tribe lost almost solely because of me and messing up with the speed posting, and now I go ahead and win this challenge by what looks like a country mile. I was so excited haha, no 9th place for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, unless there is a surprise redemption twist a la BB but no thank you.
But that meant I couldn't be hit in the crossfire at this tribal if an idol or item did come up and now I get to relax a bit more than I would be able to otherwise. Sure, I'm a bit worried that now I'll be seen as a potential challenge threat, but I'll be able to point to the fact that I messed up pretty badly week 1 in this and absolutely blew at the anagram challenge. Hoping that I win the live challenge anyway but we'll see how that goes because I also don't want to get too ahead of myself with my newfound challenge prowess. This was also convenient because with immunity becomes the smallest bit of leverage and I can finally deal with Angelina.
Then Mira comes in the total clutch saying that she's had the slytheryn idol because of a room key she won in the auction. That makes this a lot easier especially if she wants to use it!!! That means that I can save my heir twist for next round and use it to give me the majority with Mira, Pomfrey, and Ron at the worst, WHICH MIRA ALSO MENTIONS!!!!!!! It's like these plans that I'm potentially thinking about (which are pretty straight forward jumps of logic anyway to be perfectly honest) are falling right into my lap. We can vote out Angie this round and also flush out the last idol in the game and I am so excited for this prospect. Soon it will be my time to shine and I'll have to break away, but until then I like the spot that I'm in. I feel like almost every round I've still been decent enough factor, even if it was secondary. Lockhart wanted me out and my relationships are what saved me. Lockhart came to me round 1 of the merge and I said I wanted to vote Newt, so that plus Pomfrey and Cormac wanting the same meant that we got to vote out Newt. Then, Angelina saying that Maxime was leaking stuff to her to me and then me telling Ron and Pomfrey leading to her being eliminated. I'm hoping I get to take some actual credit for stuff down the road, but even those reaches aren't too too bad.

Also,
|
Fred- Neither of you really gave much effort in this challenge despite it being available for ~28 hours. Does this mean you're comfortable in your position?
|
|
which means...
(Fred)
with 32....WINS IMMUNITY!!!
|
Hope this is the last time my effort ever gets fucking questioned :)

Angelina has got to chill btw with this pretending to have no idea what's going on thing.
She is obviously super knowledgeable and a good player and while yes I was a bit quick to jump on the fact that she could have been lying about the Slytheryn idol, I feel like she thinks I'm totally incompetent.
Like, she was totally ignorant towards any possible reason that Lockhart would want to vote me out, when even if she genuinely didn't have any idea what was going on (which I still doubt) , doesn't excuse the fact where she seems so surprised when I explain that it's probably him wanting me out for trying to play the middle. Even this round, she talks about the room of requirement like she has barely any idea of who went in and got what while she probably organized it with Snape and Lily and knew exactly what was going on. She said that she got her challenge advantage from the room (i doubt it I still think it's a vote nullifier especially after Mira told me that Angie told her about the room right after she found it and said that she wouldn't sue her prize against her [but now what the prize was, another pretty fucking stupid thing]), and that she "heard" that a double was also found and used and that the idol null was from the same place. Okay Angelina. OoooKaaaay.
That combined with her sketch ass attitude from her original tribe where she was asking everyone about idol guesses and then lying makes me confused as to how she thinks everyone around her is braindead. I'm hoping that changes this round and she gets what's coming.
~~~
I'm not going to pretend that I'm perfect either. I have plenty of personality flaws one of which includes coming off as super condescending. I joke that I get it form my mom but it is actually a bit of a problem and I get in trouble a bit in school because of it. I feel like ultimately I'm pretty lowkey and act pretty respectively towards most people who I meet, but my inside voice sometimes speaks a bit loudly and that's where I get into some issues. I do want to try fixing it and it's on my list to try toning it down even with my inside voice so that way I don't say anything I regret that's super mean, but it's a work in progress, If someone does something that I don't like, even if it's kinda small, my brain just flips back into its mode where I have no moderation and I just think about them as the like, absolute worst. Usually it tones down after a bit but if it doesn't then I have a hard time letting go. I just need to be better at letting stuff go and moving on. I've been able to manage it pretty well with work and assignments and stuff, so how hard can it be for people, right? | | |

Well, I wasn't home yet and couldn't check the board, but assumed that all went well when I felt my phone going off and it turned out to be half the slack server being taken down and archived by Angelina.
Goooooood times. | | |

Round 11
FIRST THING I AM GOING TO DO WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW IS MESSAGE CORMAC AND DRACO.
God, it has been so hard to get a hold of them the last couple rounds and I know that I need to especially after this last round where I didn't tell either of them about the vote. I mean not like Draco can be all that mad given he was the alternative, but Cormac has plenty reason to be mad especially with me given we haven't talked in like days. I'm worried I've lost him to Ron and if that's the case I'm going to be in a bunch of trouble down the line.
That means I can't afford to see someone like Lily leave. Not only do I enjoy talking to her whenever we talk and I think she's one of the few I can say that about throughout the course of the entire game, but even solely on a game level I'm going to need her. Granted, if she makes it to the end then I think she wins, if not just because her general disposition but also she has a lot of allies up there. There are also, admittedly, days where I feel like I'm being played like all the time which is kinda unfortunate! But that's not really her fault that's from other internal issues that I need to deal with personally (that's a long story and not worth an anecdote here, sorry). So because of this, I was understandably a bit taken aback by Pomfrey saying she wanted to vote Lily out in the chat with Mira and Ron. Mira never speaks to Lily and Ron likes her but has voted for her twice so they don't seem to care too much about agreeing to do it. I try to not seem so obviously hesitant for sketchy reasons but not sure if that was pulled off properly. I can't really afford to burn literally everyone every in the game by flipping to try to vote out Mira or Pomfrey or something (THIS round), so that means my alternative is getting the vote on Amos, Well that can't be that hard though, because Lily still has her invis cloak and can save herself for this tribal, right?
OH WHAT? AMOS HAS THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK? OK WELL NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
So okay, okay. I mean in the grand scheme of things Lily going is probably not the worst possible thing for my game. Again, purely game wise I feel like her going now would probably equate to her going later given it's a bit of an inevitability anyway.
But my person side is not very ok with this lol. I want to keep Lily around and no it's not because of her opening herself up today and saying that I'll have her vote at the end regardless (which I was shocked about because I've felt like such a bad ally) but because I just want her around. I like her a lot and I guess the longer I can delay the potentially inevitable, the better I'll feel. This opens things up to a plan that is probably very dumb and has such a low chance of working it's probably not worth trying it, but at the same time it's low risk enough to where I think it won't be a problem.
Amos' escape needs to be played 12 hours before the deadline. If I/we can convince him to stick around for this tribal, that gives me enough time to talk to the rest of my crew and tell them about how he actually has the cloak now and that we need to get rid of him this round so he can't be saved for the next one. But what is going to convince him that he is safe after all the crazy stuff that has happened so far?
Well, I'm banking on Amos getting a bit greedy. Even back during the auction, you could see that Amos has an interesting mindset. He had all the money in the world and a guaranteed advantage ready, but instead of taking it he let me take it in the hope that the next round he will be left alone and can get anything and everything he wants. I am hoping that I can get him to think the same way this round and for the game. Amos hasn't been able to win a challenge yet despite being close. Amos also has a lot of friends on the jury and if he makes it there he has a great chance of winning. That means as many rounds of guaranteed immunity that he can have, the better. What is the best way to make him think that he can save his escape for next round?
Well, what if I freeze Lily?
While counter intuitive, the plan could actually be worse. I want to save Lily, so I'm going to......freeze her? Leave her defenseless? I feel like it's my only bet at this point if the plan is already set on Lily. She's already going as it is, so either I'm making my alliance see I'm loyal and going with their plan, or I can tell them that Amos had the tribal skip stuff now and with Lily defenseless and completely alone with nothing, why the hell would we target her over him. On Amos' side, why would he expect me to use my null thing on Lily when I could be using it on him if I really wanted to make sure he would be the one getting eliminated. I'm hoping this logic sort of works and isn't just a result of me being tired and coming up with a dumb plan. I did ask Lily about this beforehand and she said she was fine with it so I think that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to use my heir power to freeze her and hope that is what Amos wakes up to and he thinks he can save his cloak for one more round. A longshot, yes. My only shot with this, probably also yes. I can't throw my entire game away, but I want to do my due diligence for someone. I did it for Mira the Maxime round when I told her what was going on (tbf that was the absolute bare minimum I should be doing for an ally but I digress) and it came back to help. I feel like she would vote our Ron or Pomfrey versus me once we make it to 7 and she thinks that she is a 4th. I'm just hoping this is actually helping game wise and isn't looking like transparent jury pandering, which sure I guess this could double for that, but that isn't my intention that is for darn sure. | | |

Ok well it was never revealed that I used my power so I guess ultimately it probably didn't help too much lol. Almost bummed because I feel like it would have made a good story at the end if it worked but it is what it is.
But!!!! The cloak wasn't used so that means there is still a chance I can get amos out this round so we'll see how that goes I guess. | | |

I made this to keep track of me running around the maze and I think it took longer to do that then it did to actually do the challenge so I have no idea how I did. Hoping I won of course! But I can't decide if I just got really lucky or if this was a normal or hell, even super slow speed.
Pretty colors tho. | | |

I think it was Angelina and/or Maxime who was trying to push that I was a challenge threat. I hope both of them are on jury trying to go on about how they were proven right and people should have gotten rid of me.
Granted this was almost total 100% luck of a win but hey, I'll take it. Not really sure how the vote is going to go though because I think the easy vote is now Lily but the reason why I thought it was important to win immunity was that this would be the perfect time for Mira to flip assuming that she thinks that Ron, Pomfrey, and I would stick together until the F3. Not like I would expect her to vote me but I don't want to risk that and be proven to be an idiot (keeping that vague for as long as possible in this game is my goal). I feel like it would be kinda interesting to make a move on Ron or Pomf but the only problem with that is that I'll be made into a target way earlier than I would have liked, especially having already won two challenges even if one was by luck. People will find any excuse to vote someone out as long as it isn't them. | | |

This round is kinda weird because it's super quiet and I feel like it's meant to be a straight forward vote.
Like, all signs point to Lily being the target for this round, but it also feels kind of weird sitting around waiting for that to happen when I tried to save her last round. Like, what was the point of doing it if she's just going to go the next one? To be fair I guess I can use the excuse last round was more about me trying to get rid of Amos and his extra round of immunity than it was keeping Lily in an FTC situation (even if it maybe isn't 100% true.)
Honestly like, in an ideal world I get to keep Lily this round and probably until F4. I think that worst case scenario (which I feel like is the one I should be playing for) I am the 3rd least likely person to win the game. I feel like my best chance at the end would be against Cormac and Draco (which I'm sure Pomfrey and probably even Ron are also thinking). So if they are my best chance at the end, why would I leave in people they may be more prone with working with for social reasons? I mean I would hope that they think that Pomfrey is the bigger threat than me but idk, doesn't mean that they'll keep me over her when the time comes. It would be kinda cool if this round I could blindside one of Ron or Pomfrey along with the other the next round, then Mira at F5 and vote out Lily at F4 where I feel like I may even have a chance at the tie if I lose the immunity challenge. I think that would probably be my easiest path to the end as far as my last competition.
But that is in a super ideal case, and we don't live in a super ideal world. For Lily to not go this round, that would mean I need to either convince Mira to keep her, someone who she has hardly talked to since the merge, or get Cormac and Draco to want to vote out someone else, but I don't think I have a good enough relationship with either of them to pull that off. To be fair, being safe this round means that I can go to them without being worried about them going back to anyone else and it affecting me this round, but next round I probably won't win immunity and it means I'll just be blowing up my game at F6 and leave then. What I'll probably do tonight is talk to Mira about what her long term plans are because I feel like that while she probably beats anyone in the end which is why I don't think she cares as much about who she is sitting at the end with, and see where that goes. Maybe I'll be able to get something going.
I'm of course worried about the human element of it though. I like both Pomfrey and Ron a lot and not like I want to vote them out, and I also think both will be pretty mad if I vote them out and potentially too bitter to want to vote me in the end, but at the same time I know that sitting around and being worried that they're going to be bitter is probably just going to lead to them voting me out eventually where I know I (probably) won't be bitter. I'll have to figure it out by tonight but if I could take a guess it would be that Lily is probably sadly going. She asked if there was a possibility of voting out Mira and I think she said last round she didn't want to vote our Ron or Pomfrey but I'm hoping that I can change her mind if it comes down to it. | | |

I have a lot of things I would like to say but I cannot right now due to some irl stuff (I'm fine just not the best timing for stuff happening along with this game). I'll try to be better tomorrow but it may not be until late sadly. | | |
