Goodness it's the day after and I'm still rather speechless.
I really really wish I could take credit for this result because it's iconic, but I want to put credit where credit is due:
5% to Maxime for probably doing something somewhere that earned her enough trust to be given the idol by lockhart. You would think she would get more credit for taking an idol from someone and using it to vote that person out hours later, but she was actively protective of lockhart and fought relentlessly to protect lockhart and frankly everyone except fred from getting votes.
5% to Angelina for clearly being paranoid enough about a crazy plan that she must have told Lockhart she would only support him if she got immunity and could be sure she was safe.
15% to Ron, who was the only person pushing for the vote to be on Lockhart. When I wanted to vote Pomfrey and Maxime wanted to vote Fred, Ron stuck to his guns and made Maxime finally realize that Lockhart was sketchy for the first time possibly all season. He leaked that Lockhart had started a chat with Draco and Ron and Lockhart was openly talking about his deal with Maxime to pass his idol and idol out Fred. Ron did a good job of making it very hard to argue with targeting Lockhart and that set things in stone about an hour before deadline.
75% to Lockhart. Because honestly, he had to put a lot of work into making this happen. He was immune and had an idol to spare and he decided to give away both those protections for an interesting F11 vote when he was already in the majority. Even if his plan worked to get rid of Fred, it would have been an extraordinary and unnecessary waste of an idol. But then after he gave the idol to maxime and made her promise to be quiet about it, he immediately went and told me and Ron + Draco separately that he had given his idol to Maxime and that all of us had to promise not to tell each other we knew about it. If our group of 4 wasn't insanely splintered and cautious about talking to each other, we would have instantly known how sketchy he was being. It's a miracle we lasted until 830 on deadline day to compare notes. He could make this move 100 times and 99 out of 100 would result in him going home. It was dumb and I love him for trying it.
More on this later, I'm gonna try to use this day off to catch up a bit on sleep & confessionals. | |

This challenge was tailor made for me, there is nothing in the world I am better at than word scrambles
But i screwed up #7. I will be very disappointed if I lose because of that one scramble because there's a pretty good chance I was on the fastest on most of the rest. | |

MIRA MIRA ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE FINEST OF THEM ALL?
Time to re-evaluate the cast from worst to first! And I'm not mobile reliant anymore so let's find a Theresa May gif to represent each of them.
AMOS
We have not talked recently enough for slack to have any history of it. I just took out his two closest allies when both of them were targeting me overtly and he almost certainly despises me for it. And he's the biggest challenge threat to me. I honestly don't know what his stock is like among the other players in the game, but he is completely disposable to me in every way and it's not a risky move for me to go after him. I would love him gone.
ANGELINA
That gif agrees with my belief that she needs to F off. She's really mad at maxime for the last vote so hopefully I can keep her rage directed that way, but she lied to us all game long in easily learnable ways and completely abandoned maxime to the fishes so it is very rich that she feels betrayed right now. Every time I'm online and don't message her for half an hour she starts making public comments about how I don't talk to her anymore. When I message her proactively she often doesn't reply and when I do she drops passive aggressive comments about how I don't talk to her any more. She doesn't get to play victim. Hopefully people are wising up to her sketchiness and it will stop being so risky to target her soon but she still seems to have a lot of relationships so it is risky.
LILY
I'm living from how Lily went from smug and distant to panicked after that vote. She was deliberately setting herself to appear offline and refusing to message my group for all of the last two rounds, even giving her silly "the lines have been drawn" comment in tribal and then the second she got blindsided she went into the most amateur and condescending damage control routine ever. Basically telling all of us she's been cheering for us and is so happy to see us succeed despite refusing to talk to us for two tribals in a row.
Her gameplay is cowardly, unambitious and frankly boring. It's not really in the spirit of the game to just hide from people although it might be amusing to see on the show.
CORMAC
We haven't talked much but we just had a weird chat today. He seems to be not used to talking to people and unsure who to chat with.
First he doesn't remember who I am
Then, he reveals that Ron told him about the vote? That's interesting.
Not against working with him I guess. I hope he's honest about wanting to shake things up a bit. There's not much to say about him!
DRACO
While three of us were celebrating knocking out lockhart he was like wtf just happened. Which is kind of fair, he did get left out of the loop. But he did not weigh in on the vote for the entire 24+ hour tribal period until 30 minutes before the vote. And apparently he was on the night before talking to gilderoy and people and not to me or maxime. By the time he had shown up with 30 minutes to go, the vote was locked in and he was hiding the fact that he had a alliance chat with Gilderoy so there was no reason to tell him the vote. But he's mad about it and its reminiscent of the time he skipped an entire tribe challenge and then came on after his absence had cost us immunity and immediately started ripping on Snape's challenge performance. I'm tired of him constantly playing the middle and declining to share any information he is told. Thankfully lockhart always put ron and draco in alliance chats together and ron tells us what is being said, but Draco is stupid for continually not realizing Ron is gonna tell us things so he shouldn't hide it all.
POMFREY
Pomfrey makes me laugh, we have funny conversations and we never talk strategy
Maxime is making noise about bringing pomfrey on board but maxime is flaky and doesn't take initiative, changes her opinions based on who talked to her last. I really hope there is a chance to work together here even though im sure it will get out that I targeted her a bit last round. She's still a very key player with enough relationships that getting on her good side will help protect me at tribals for now.
MAXIME
Maxime is getting tough to deal with. She really would not budge away from voting anyone other than fred at any time last round even though she was outnumbered 2-1 by Ron and I, who both wanted Fred to be kept around. It's even more concerning to know that Fred was the desired target of Gilderoy and Angelina because it showed that Maxime was prioritizing the wants of two people who had just blindsided her over the needs and best interests of Ron and I. And she wasn't even open to discussing it - she kind of just disappeared as I started to say I wasn't on board with voting Fred. I think she would have voted fred with draco if it wasn't for Ron's reveal that Lockhart was still lying to her (which should have been damn obvious). Her approach to group chats is to not contribute until someone asks what should be done. Then she will say something like "It looks like we really only have two choices" or "I hate to say it but there's an obvious target" or "do we all agree on the person to vote for" without actually mentioning a name. After like 10 minutes of us waiting for her to finish her thought someone else will mention a name and if it's not the one person she is thinking she wants to boot based on her relationships with the people not in the chat, she will just go quiet. She'll come back an hour later and be like "so are we all okay with [person who no one has mentioned as a target yet but she wants out]." That confuses everyone. The others in the chat will argue their case but she won't. Although in personal chats she'll throw in some half-baked unsubstantiated reason like "I feel like I trust Pomfrey more" or "I think Fred might become a challenge threat". I'll ask why she thinks those things and she'll get defensive. Then she begins to suspect that we're close with the person she wants out because we aren't on board to vote them and she straight up starts accusing us of leaking to them. All this is particularly annoying because none of it is very rational and she isn't open to having actual evidence-based discussions to hash out what a plan should be.
I'm in a lot of alliance chats now and probably half of them are dead because Maxime kills any opportunity to have open conversations in group chats and will create groups with no intention of actually suggesting targets or paths forward. Combine that with draco always hedging his bets and not revealing any information and with Ron being paranoid and defeatist and even group chats that everyone wants to be a part of falter and fall into disarray.
FRED
Fred is off doing his thing. I basically told him to suck up his iffy feelings towards maxime and talk to her because he knew she was targeting him and I didn't want votes on one of the only people i kind of somewhat trust and get along with when I was planning to use the idol. And he kind of made a tiny half-hearted attempt to say hi. But for the most part he's just off in the fields doing his best not to get involved in everything while being largely tolerated by most of the people who have any power. He did tell me he would tell me if my name was the target and did not follow through on that last round, but it was also kind of obvious and he should have wanted to flush out an idol (and was probably worried about getting idoled out). I saved him from being booted at the last vote though so I feel confident that he has every reason to want me around and trusts that I won't let him be targeted.
RON
RON just pulled off a ridiculous tribal vote against the most visible player in the game and its shocking that it was Ron who did it. The guy apparently has his cormac bond and stuff but he's the only person in the cast who has not lied to me other than perhaps cormac and lily (who just don't talk to me when its uncomfortable).
MIRABELLA
LOCKHART
(he's Lord Buckethead)
Don't have enough good words to say about Lockhart. Yeah he targeted me all game which sucked because we had similar motivations and approaches to this game, but you have to respect his willingness to think outside the box and try some crazy tactics. He was here to have fun and push the boundaries of survivor tactics. Even though his legacy will probably be defining a new tactic that no one should ever try to do again, I give him massive props for being brave and being entertaining. ORGs are meant to be a strategic testing ground and a safe place to challenge the boundaries of the game of survivor. He's one of the more prolific tactical innovators I've seen in an ORG before.
I personally think that some of the tactics I've been using are a bit more practical and effective, but I'm eager to read his confessionals and find out the extent to which he succeeded through unconventional methods. ORGs would get stale without people like him and I searching for new ways to play survivor.
So join me in pouring one out for the Hero of the season:
Dilly Dilly!

I should get drunk more often. I wake up at 4am and suddenly I'm in a new alliance chat where people are debating if Amos or Angelina should go | |

So our alliance decides to vote for Amos.
Maxime tells Angelina exactly who is in the alliance and that we are voting for Amos.
Angelina tells Fred everything Maxime says as she tries to get Fred to vote for Maxime.
Fred tells me everything that Angelina told him that she had heard from Maxime who had heard it in our alliance chat.
And I don't tell Maxime about this stuff because I don't want to be stuck in a Mobius Strip of info sharing stretching out forever.
Everyone is now openly frustrated with Maxime because she keeps sharing all her information with Angelina who just turns around and shares it with people in an attempt to vote out Maxime. I really want our numbers to stick together this round just so I don't feel like a likely target next round. If Amos goes and Maxime continues to trust Angelina despite Angelina rallying 4 votes onto Maxime, there's already a plan coming into place for Ron, Pom, Fred and I to blindside both Maxime and Angelina with an Angelina boot next round. | |

Well patterns certainly emerge over time. This cast unanimously prefers the strategy of not talking at all to people that are on the wrong side of the vote once they figure out what the vote will be. It should make it really easy to figure out when the Slytherin idol needs to be played and when I need to scramble.
Maxime did an awful lot of harm to my game here just because I was associated with her and people didn't let me in on the vote until fred 5 minutes before the deadline b/c they didn't know if they could trust me.
But hopefully the fact that i knew and didn't idol will help lead people to believe i don't have one. they didn't even vote split so they can't be that cautious | |

Angelina is so extra.
Right after trying to blindside me by voting out someone who trusted both of us implicitly she tries to have a real conversation for the first time since merge with me and this is her opener?
The fact that she feels entitled to an answer on this is infuriating and I hope I fed into her paranoia by making her suspect someone is spreading she has it. | |
