~*Ron’s Answer to Lockhart Part #1*~

Posted Image

Firstly, Thank you so much for the questions! I would like to say that you were such an interesting journey for myself. I had this hatred for the way you were playing the game (and how it was affecting me) but loved talking to you every day. It was such a mind-fuck. Thank you for that experience.

You had an amazing golden ticket in the Lockhart boot as your key resume piece, but you’ve seemingly done nothing else all game besides burn bridges. My two questions are why did you let Mira make the end and why did you (seemingly) do nothing else after I left?

I agree that that moment was a huge “showey” play. The only real one that I could potentially take 100% credit for. I would disagree with that being my only major move in the merge. I thank you for this question, so I can highlight my merge game in more detail:

My entire goal was to play the middle during merge. I did not come into the merge wanting to play this with Newt/Draco/Mira, per the Snape vote. I wanted to join back up with Cormac/Fred/Pomfrey. I did that successfully. I had an alliance with Fred and Pomfrey that during the major part of this merge, it was my primary success. I was able to gain information on what yourself, Angelina, and Maxime were doing on other sides of this game. Primarily from Fred/Pomfrey. This sealed the deal with trust in them over Cormac who I also entered merge really wanting to work with. Cormac did not offer up information to me until it was too late in the game. I knew they were willing to work with me during the Newt vote. I knew they had my back to keep me off the danger-end of being eliminated. Going into the top 11, you starting that chat with Draco/Myself..I used that to take you out. Obviously to save the people I wanted to play this game with: Fred and Pomfrey

Here is the chat transcript of flipping the vote to Lockhart for anyone needing to read this portion(It isn’t too long, I just don’t want to clog this post:

Moving into the top 10. At this point, Angelina had items for the Slytherin idol due to me giving her everything that Mirabella was giving me. I was using that to bond with Angelina. I feel like this is a strong game move, socially. It gained Angelina’s trust in me in a very crucial round. A round post-your elimination where I could have been deemed a threat by her to get Lily/Cormac/Herself/Amos against me. (At this point, Cormac was very MIA with me and I did not know where he stood with this group)
The entire fear here was Mira/Maxime/Angelina all catching on to the fact that the “middle bitches” had such a huge part to this game. That Fred/Pomfrey/Myself had all the knowledge and held the key to what was happening. They never seemed to piece this together due to our ability to keep them in the dark about how close we were.
Pomfrey found out that Maxime was targeting her/Fred so the vote was swapping from Amos to Maxime. Everyone other than Mira was supposed to know—because of the risk of Mira telling Maxime of course and saving her.

Going into the top 9

Spoiler+


Please read this part of a confessional I did at this part of the game to describe my feelings at this point. I was working Angelina/Lily so much at this point to keep the votes on Draco over myself. Using the bond I was forming with Lily(Someone who I had voted 2 times at this point) and Angelina(who has no reason to want me in the game at this point). Draco, someone who started to really trust Angelina, got the votes instead of me.

Posted Image
Ultimately, Angelina had to go this round = it wasn’t about Mira using her idol and taking Angelina out, Pomfrey/Me/Fred wanted Angelina out just as much. If not more. I had more need for Mira in this game then Angelina = ultimately, Angelina was a chore. Mira was easy = Mira knew I was with her, as far as she was concerned. There is never any concern with Mira/Draco in this middle part of merge, if they survived=they would always be a backup plan to my main goal of Fred/Pomfrey/Ron final 3, or later on turning into a Cormac/Draco/Ron want.

8th Place: Amos: This was to take out someone in the game that was not an ally, I had no potential with to go to the end. I had a potential Final deal with everyone else in the Final 7(minus Lily which I will get to in a second)

7th Place Lily: Lily is someone I, at one point, thought of trying to goat a bit further. She wasn’t as useable as I had once hoped she would be. Cormac/Draco at this point were more useable and trustworthy to me. I feel like we made it a long way 1:1, I was keeping that option open. She may have thought I screwed her, but I never once lied to her on that: I told her she was leaving, when she was leaving.

Ultimately, I think my entire game was making people trust me, want others’ out before me = it was a social game, it was to get you to laugh and joke with me to the point where you would never think I would vote you out to leave.

Spoiler+


Cormac 6th = I explained this before in the opening statement. But ultimately, I had every chance at making it to the final 3. I was the safest person sitting in the top 6. I had no way to not get there if I played my cards right. My ideal entering it was a Cormac/Draco/Myself at this point. I swapped my opinion of wanting Pomfrey/Fred because I was seeing Cormac/Draco as such goats in this game. I thought back and forth if I wanted to have goats in the end, I do feel like I played a good enough game to go against others. Don’t you want to play against the best to win against them? But then why take someone like Mira to the end who has such a different gamestyle of items, fake and real, and immunity wins. It was just a huge toss-up and decision to have to make. Ultimately, I feared a Fred/Cormac/Draco situation. The one thing I couldn’t help preventing if Cormac/Draco suddenly had that thought as their best chance. Therefore, Cormac was the easiest to go without fucking up my allies of Mira/Draco/Me, Pomfrey/Fred/Me alliances as potential. I felt that Cormac leaving got rid of that last" loop-hole" of not making it to the end: Cormac/Draco trying to do something with Fred.

Posted Image

Final 5/Final 4: Pomfrey/Me were 100% voting for Mira if she lost either challenge. Draco would have also done this. Fred would have also done this. It was the goal. Her winning these challenges, got her to the point in the game. She would not be in the Final 3 without those 2 challenge wins. 100%.

Ideally, Mira would have been 5th place. I would have had to talk to Draco about either Fred or Pomfrey in the end with us. Or go to the end with Fred/Pomfrey/Myself

Instead, Mira won the challenge. Fred went home. Pomfrey was on the same page of needing Mira to go at Final 4. Fred at this point checked out of the game during this live round.

Final 4: Mira won the challenge again. Pomfrey was going to be voted out due to that original alliance of Draco/Mira way back when as my back up plan to the Fred/Pomfrey/Ron deal or the Cormac/Draco/Ron ideal.

My game wasn’t about this idol blindside, or that fake item. My game was a social game. It was strategy every single moment, and every single round. The Lockhart, Maxime, Angelina, Amos, Lily, Cormac boots were all my decisions. They were all what I needed to have happen to get me here right now.

Fred/Pomfrey were out of the final immunity wins to advance myself the best way possible.

I hope this explains my gameplay better. I hope this shows the social moves that I made and how they should be appreciated.

Now, for all three of you. To me, the game looked BORING after Angelina’s boot. Multiple jurors have said the game was boring after Angelina left. I want to know, from the three of you: did you think the game got boring after Angelina left? If you do believe it got boring, what did you do to try and make it more interesting?

I am very happy that you bring up this point. This played on my mind towards the end but ultimately didn't change the way I played the game. Pomfrey, Mira, and myself were the most social on a day to day basis after Angelina left. Fred dropped in activity, Cormac was hit or miss for a bit, Lily was hit or miss, Draco popped on the last hour of the day.

To survive emotionally in a boring environment is hard. To have 12 hours of conversations with Pomfrey/Mirabella, 2 hours with Cormac, and then Fred/Draco popping online in the last hour of the Final 6. That isn’t fun. It makes you want to cuss people out for suddenly wanting to play the game in the last 30 minutes when we have been waiting for you to get online for 11 hours (not waiting, cuz at this point we basically knew it was happening with Draco).

The struggle with this is: You want to play the game you choose to play. For Pomfrey and myself. Our game was to get to the end with Fred, potentially Lily/Cormac/Draco as goats. That was the goal. We dropped Lily early because she wasn’t goat-able and more wildcard. Cormac was dropped because of the potential of a Draco/Fred thing. Mira then won both Final challenges. Through this entire thing, you have Pomfrey and me talking about how boring everyone has been. We have Mira/Pomfrey/Me watching black mirror episodes as nobody else signs online for like 6-7 hours straight. It is boring. I have a confessional with images of Maxime/Lockhart saying: If I get blindsided, at least I go somewhere more fun than this shithole.

The thing is: I wasn’t going to make a huge move to blindside Pomfrey at Final 7 or Final 6 to make it more interesting. Fred at the later stages of merge became more absent. Draco throughout the entire merge was absent. A this point of Final 7/Final 6, this was the game I chose to surround myself in. It was the way I had to stand by as I moved forward. I didn’t want to make it interesting. If Mirabella left at Final 7, it would be the same boredom Final 6 on wards. If we bounced Mira at Final 6 instead of Cormac, it would be that same boredom. It was, what it was. I think it was the people we chose to bring forward in the game versus the people we chose to take out (the bigger characters were the bigger players).

Thanks, and let me know if you need any clarification or further questions.

Hate to do this....but I will....


on a vote I was pretty certain would result in Angelina going home regardless.

Final 9 was a round where you ideally wanted to "make a show". You specifically wanted majority votes on yourself. I had conversations with Fred and Pomfrey about hiding the fact the votes were being split on yourself and Draco for the simple fact that Mira may get upset and not use the idol if she didn't have to. You wanted majority on yourself to act like you needed the idol to survive, in reality--the items that you were giving me--I gave to Angelina, allowing her to find out you already had the idol--leading to them splitting the vote and not just putting them all on you and/or all on Draco.


I think it's incredibly clear that there were four players in this game that were determined to liven things up, take risks, take initiative and do their best to entertain the viewers.

You, Snape, Angelina and Me.


This is barf worthy. The fact that you just discredit Pomfrey, Fred, and myself and any involvement we had in this game. The moves that we made, and the initiative that we took to make game moves. You would not be sitting where you are if it wasn’t for the three of us. We both would not be sitting here right now without Pomfrey/Fred’s information from the other side from the merge game.
To label Pomfrey or myself boring is to spit on our shoes, and therefore I am spitting right back.

You are here because of your final 5 and final 4 immunity challenge wins. Otherwise, you would be 5th placer. You were an active person in a sea of rather inactives, so a reliable vote to be used.

I agree that that moment was a huge “showey” play. The only real one that I could potentially take 100% credit for.


Unless I missed you convincing Lockhart to give up an immunity necklace and pass his idol to Maxime, I'm gonna contest that Lockhart deserves a lot of credit for this :)
And so does Maxime for getting his idol.

But I would also like to point out that I was pushing for the vote to be on pomfrey or lockhart in the actual chatlog you just posted (which came at the end of a long discussion over where I was pushing for both of them before you brought up the draco/lockhart/you chat). Lockhart had just come off of two rounds of openly campaigning to vote me out and I had every reason in the world to be working on getting that vote on him. The only reason I wasn't actively waving pitchforks against him in that group chat was because Maxime was repeatedly telling me privately that she thought Lockhart wanted to work with her long-term so I was worried she might be more reluctant to vote for Lockhart than Pomfrey. My priority was saving Fred from that vote so I was willing to settle for a pomfrey vote if necessary, but I was going after Lockhart that round.

(side note: you told me about that lockhart/draco/ron group in a side chat before you shared it in the group chat, and I'm pretty sure you actually asked me whether you should raise with maxime in the group to shake things up, to which I encouraged you. It's funny reading this back and seeing me pretending to be surprised about the group chat information in this conversation while also pretending that Maxime hadn't already told me about getting the idol from lockhart hours earlier.)

I don't think the suggestion that you cooked up the idea and carried out this plan all by yourself and should get 100% credit is valid.




I don't see how Lockhart deserves credit in himself leaving the game?

Ultimately, Lockhart's plan was to have Pomfrey or Fred leave. Which would have had happened if I didn't step in with that information for the chat. You did not know about this information prior to me posting it into that chat. I am not sure why you are acting as though you did?

I never once told you about the threehonestbois chat, or anyone, until I posted it into that chat with Maxime/you.After posting this, I was talking to you on the side 1:1 about the importance of Maxime not "blasting this" because the vote would then turn on me--due to you both having idols to be played.

If you want to talk about risks. I was taking the biggest risk, about putting myself in danger as the one person without an idol out of that group of 3.

I was sick of waiting around for Pomfrey/Fred to make a move with me. I was ready to take control, and using Lockhart's chat and information to put Maxime on the spot about the hufflepuff idol she wasn't sharing, and explain the reason we needed to do Lockhart instead of the wishy washy Fred/Pomfrey/Lockhart discussion--ended the conversation, and cemented Lockhart leaving.

Therefore, I can say it was an accomplishment of mine. To save two allies, and to take out an enemy that I was trying to get out since Rita was ousted in Final 16.

Your ability to try and act like your the only one to have played a game out of this final 3 is making me heated.

You may very well have had those conversations, but people still told me that the vote was being split between me and draco an I still knew there wouldn't be a majority of votes on me before the deadline hit, so yes, I was pretty certain the vote would result in Angelina going home regardless.

It might have been smart of you to hide the fact that votes were being split, but you didn't do that. So I don't know why you are taking issue with this.





I think the issue I have is the fact that in your initial statement you act like you needed to convince us in some way to vote out Angelina. Like Pomfrey/Fred/Myself weren't already wanting Angelina out. I guess it is from your perspective. I just viewed that entire situation as Pomfrey/Fred/Myself knowing Angelina had to go as well. The fact that you wanted her out was just an additive bonus to make shit easier.

@Ron Hold up, I did not lie to you about Pomfrey floating your name for that vote. So those "chat logs" were either edited or misinterpreted because your name was floated and screw Slack for deleting chat history because I can't show it. I know this is a fact because I felt very iffy about even telling you that info knowing how much you talked to everyone and how much info you spilled to me I was leary of you just running and telling her I shared that with you.


Morning!

Sorry, Not sure what this means? Pomfrey floating my name for the Lockhart vote?

I haven’t posted any other chat.....(Just part of the group chat with Maxime and Mira during the Lockhart round)

Oooh! Just re- read.
You mean the part of my confesh where I say Pomfrey showed chat logs. Showing Pomfrey didn’t want me out, but in reality(your saying) she did.

The reason for this was, the original idea(once mira was hinted towards u guys possibly splitting) was if the vote was on me and Mira, Mira was asking fred and pomfrey to be part of the “ron” votes. if pomfrey and fred were suppose to vote me—mira would still be getting votes to look like she needed her idol, and by them really voting you...it would then take away from Ron votes.

Now, if Pomfrey had some alt plan to take me out at that point—I do not know. She may have lied or altered convos to get me to believe you were lying. That is totally possible.

My entire goal was to get the votes on Draco, just as a precaution. It may have been more of my relationship with lily that saved more then the items I gave to you. I defo tried with you that went beyond just the items, and could understand that coming across as sketch.
