~*Ron’s Answer to Newt’s Questions*~
Ronny Boi! I feel like I talked to you a LOT in this game but I don't think that I ever really got to know you. I enjoyed some of our jokes and mindless chats but I don't think we ever really got past any surface talk, even when it came to strategy. I am also disappointed that you never changed your Ron picture on Slack to the picture of Ron from the Cursed Child so you lost like three points there too. SO SHAME ON YOU? Anyways, what I get from your FTC appearance so far is that you're selling that you tried to not make genuine connections with anyone and were being intentionally two-faced. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
I feel the same Newt! I think I always had my guard up with you, as I still did not know your involvement (if any) in Rita’s exit and me being left out of that vote. I didn’t know if opening with game plans in detail at the state of pre-merge where we were voting Snape, and/or Final 12, was needed for me until I knew more about where you stood in the game. As for the cursed child Ronald; Ew no! LOL
I would like to correct your comments a bit, as that isn’t what my intention has been. I have made genuine connections with a lot of this cast, at least I thought I did. I thought I was well bonded and had fun in this game with them, and that was not fake or two-faced. I also never blatantly was trying to allow people to think I was two-faced in the game. I got here with 0 votes cast against me, and I think if people were catching on to the game I played with Pomfrey/Fred I wouldn’t have been able to say that. I think the two-faced is part of my social game. It is the way that I bond, by talking about others’. I can find out what gets back to someone else. After a while, I understood relationships enough to know if I told Pomfrey xyz, I should probably be telling Fred xyz so he doesn’t find out from her and not me. Same with Lily/Angelina, or if I told Angelina something—Pomfrey was in the known, because Pomfrey would have been told by Angelina. I understood the development of bonds to not make a mistake that would have looked two-faced when they were in the game. Hope that makes sense. Feel free to ask me a question or something if it doesn’t.
Since you were very adamant that this is not the final 3 you wanted, my question for you is, if you could go back and replay this merge knowing everything you know now, what would be your ideal boot order?
My ideal boot order would be exactly how it was, other then when we reached Final 6. Final 6 I would have, knowing what I know now, voted out Mirabella. What I know now that is changing that is that Mira’s item was fake(vote swapper). My other thing is the lack of respect I have from the jury. I did not think my gameplay was going to hurt people as much as it seemed to have, and been misunderstood. With this knowledge, I am perhaps thinking that a Cormac/Draco/Ron final 3 would have been more ideal.
Another thing I know now is Mira was going to win the Final 5 and Final 4 immunity challenges—which I did not expect at the Final 6.
So, this is what we would have:
12. Newt
11. Lockhart
10. Maxime
9. Angelina
8. Amos
7. Lily
6. Mirabella
At the final 5, I was 2nd place in the challenge(one point from winning this). If we said Cormac won or I won this, regardless. I would have targeted Fred or Pomfrey. I would have pushed for Fred to go, as I previously stated of not knowing where Fred/Cormac’s relationship was at. It was always a ? in my mind.
5. Fred
4. Pomfrey
Ideally, Cormac/Draco/Myself would have won the FIC and voted out Pomfrey as a trio. If Pomfrey won the final IC, I would hope my bond with Draco would have been enough to tie this vote, possibly 3-1 if Pomfrey wasn’t thinking the same as me in that F4 situation. I think Pomfrey may have wanted Cormac to go, and Draco/Me in the end per our conversations, but I could also see it where she may have wanted Cormac/Draco..and I would have had to work my bonds with Draco to at least tie it in that case of Pomfrey winning the FIC.
Let me know if you need me to highlight any other round in more detail, but anything prior to Final 6 was how I would have wanted the game to turn out.
My last question for all of you to sort the jurors into a Hogwarts house. I don't need an explanation because I don't want to turn this into a giant comparison question. So just a name and their house will suffice. (Unless you feel inclined to say more but I'm not giving bonus points for that!!)
I will include the qualities of the house that led me to putting them in there:
Newt – Ravenclaw (creativity, wit)
Lockhart – Slytherin (cunning, leadership)
Maxime – Slytherin (resourceful)
Angelina – Slytherin (resourceful, ambition)
Amos – Gryffindor (bravery, chivalry)
Lily – Hufflepuff (loyalty, patience)
Cormac – Ravenclaw (intelligence, creativity)
Fred – Hufflepuff (hard work, justice)
Pomfrey – Slytherin (ambition, cunning, resourceful)
Thank you and let me know if you have any further questions or need any clarification.
