1. Whaaaaaaaaat just happened there? Give us your side of the story on how your voting group ended up breaking that way! Did it go how you expected it to? How you wanted it to? How un/safe did you feel? And now with that out of the way ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) We hope you enjoy the night without a Vote, and take the time to reflect and regroup. The latter you'll have to do in the PMs (do keep us posted on your progress!), but with some more time to breathe we can certainly help with the former. ![;D](http://i.imgur.com/FVUId1j.png) Here goes: 2. How about tonight's other voting group? How much did you involve yourself in the leadup to a Magical Council you weren't even a part of, and why? Did the outcome surprise you? 3. What will be the impact of Tonks and Hedwig's Killer leaving the Game simultaneously? Would things be different had we had two normal rounds instead? 4. How have the split Magical Councils changed the shape of the Merge Side dynamics? Are there still clear factions in place among the Final Nine? 5. Tell us about your relationships with each of the remaining players. How much do you trust each of them? Who do you feel threatened by, and why? 6. What (and who) is being cooked up for the next Magical Council? Do you have a particular move you'd like to see happen this round? Do others? Buuut even more importantly than the questions Fleur Delacour there is a creative activity for you to complete at your leisure, during this round. For the full instructions open the spoiler tag below. We can't tell you yet what exactly your work will be used for, but we strongly recommend that you get it done before there is another Challenge to worry about ![8-)](http://images.proboards.com/new/cool.png) We're also invoking the Rule against discussion about this activity, as though it were a proper Challenge. Here's what you need to do: - Pick a player to impersonate! They must be somebody who has already been eliminated from the Game. - Write up to 100 words in character as that player. You can say anything you like. - Use a Time Turner to return to the 90s when Blingee was all the rage! While that platform is close to defunct, you can now make a HP-themed PicMix to include in your submission. As an example, here's one created by Minister who took the roleplaying too seriously in Fire-Breathing Chicken. - Post your writing and your image together in this thread.

At least there won't be a vote when I'll be travelling back home, but not sure how doable this activity is on mobile ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png)

Yeah, it probably would be on a computer :/ but do you have any idea how many times I had to redo even that because my browser kept crashing, not to mention that the design options are clearly not meant for phone users ![:cry](http://imgur.com/Gh2UmYT.gif)

Well it could have been worse, seeing as this was instead of a timed Challenge for the day ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) When will you be back and off the mobile?

Quick answers. 1. Kinda, not at all, and I felt pretty safe. I have no idea what Tonks was thinking there by not scrambling, and I don't know what I was thinking by not telling her that switch would be a terrible idea. I guess it would have worked out just fine had Crouch not been immune but like I don't think Tonks' relationship was most likely strong enough at all with Diggle for it to ever be truly an option. But now of course because I'm a vengeful bitch I will not be staying loyal to Diggle as I said I would if he'd vote differently

2. My strategy, especially now that I've been so incredibly busy, has been for the most part to not involve myself with decisions that don't directly impact me. I also think that would be a really sure way of finding yourself on the outs as someone who tries to micromanage everything. Actually to my knowledge only Oliver did this and if what Diggle is saying is true Oliver may have kinda ruined his game with these simple messages. Granted, I really don't know whether it's true and whether I believe Diggle much anyway but at the moment it kind of works to my advantage? If we can remove Malfoy I feel like after that might be another time for a regrouping though. I'm constantly thinking about the possibility of some people starting to see themselves as lower chance to win and that they'd get together as a result. Personally I'm hoping that we wouldn't get that too much though. For example I think Malfoy apparently saying I'm in charge of something is completely misguided imo. Sure, I have the relationships to keep me afloat but once again I've made some rather questionable strategic choices

3. Almost certainly. Even if we lost one of them the other one would then be single which would hopefully change their approach to the strategy of it all. Actually the fact that we had such a smooth operation to remove the pair that was obviously 4th in the pairs alliance, I'd normally think it was premeditated and agreed upon together but I find it realllly hard to imagine the individual people driving these decisions (Diggle/Malfoy) to have come up with this together

3. Also this was mostly an own goal anyway. For all involved. Tonks shouldn't have made that switch, I should have told her no, and HK should have worked with Black and not against him (tbh if I had more time I probably could have told him but then again I really didn't need him blowing up my game too)

Ffs these questions are too long. Let's just say that I would like to see Malfoy go finally. I'm really hoping that people see the value in breaking that pair up. Otherwise it could be me, but I just need to keep my cool as usual and let other people blow up their games instead

Thank, fucking, god. It would've honestly been too much stupidity for one afternoon if one of the 7 had voted for Diggle, but I'm still wondering if people don't know how to count because of course it can't go to rocks if Oliver or Malfoy voted for Diggle. Also Diggle sucks at organizing. Never again ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) And what is it about people not knowing how to create group chats? I mean, even if it was just for one vote, it would make things so much easier but I guess people are afraid of being seen as "leading the vote", which is funny because by not creating one I can throw Diggle under the bus as much as I want as the one in charge (although I'm sure that works the other way around too)
