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? How close were you really to voting for your PBvO partner? 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 Lucius Malfoy 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.

Instead of the above quesitons, I am going to give you an essay on all the shit that went down last round, just in case you're doing a blog.
The plan was set. Lily and I worked on it all day to take out HK and plan for the idol we were so sure he had. Why did we think he had an idol. Well lets back it up a few rounds shall we. When Igor got the boot he was very salty and made a point of noting that HK had the idol and he had let HK to it. Igor might have been a salty sort of dude but that's next level. We assumed that they had found the idol together and that Igor expected HK to play the idol on Igor and when HK didn't and Igor got the boot, he was less that pleased. HK's story was that Igor came to him 30 minutes before MC asking to help him get the idol, which is absurd because it takes 7 hours. We assumed that HK was telling a poor lie there because surely Igor was not that stupid.
Anywho back to the vote. The double tribal and the splits in place made it a perfect opportunity to take out two power players in HK and Tonks. The only thing we had to navigate was the idol, so we planed a 3-1 split, with Lily, Wood and I voting HK and Moody voting Black. Originally, we had planed a 2-2-2, however throughout the day it became apparent that HK was also going to vote Black. Backing it up again a few hours, HK comes to me and tells me he wants to go to the endgame with me and proposes an alliance. Now I believed he was being legit, but it was too little, too late. The plans were in motion and frankly, HK only ever seemed to talk to me in any real sense when it suited him so I didn't exactely feel warm and fuzzy about him. But regardless, this made us feel safer no idol would be played and that we could pull off a 3-2-1.
Everything was locked in and then 10 minutes before tribal Wood (allegedly) tells HK that he needs to play his idol. Unfortunately for Wood, HK didn't actually have an idol so instead of following through on that, HK seperately came to me, Lily and Crouch and told us that Wood told him he was the target and that he had to play his idol. I asked Wood if this was the truth and he denied it. Meanwhile, Lily freakes out and sens a missive to HK that Wood was telling her to vote for HK, BUT she posts this in our group thread and it reads to me like she is talking to me and not HK, so now I think Wood is telling Lily to vote me. I given them as much time as is left to explain what the fuck was going on or I was going to blow up tribal. They didn't respond and I blew up accordingly.
I wont recap the MC as it is there in all its glory for all to read, but I will note a key point, Lily confirmed at MC that Wood had told her that he told HK.
So out we come from MC with two key issues to solve. One; which of Lily and Wood is lying. Two; what was up with Lily's message.
So Davetective Malfoy got on the case and gathered up the evidence.
Case no. 2 was easy enough to solve. Lily's defence was that she meant to send it to HK because she was worried he would idol her out. That really kind of throws Wood under the bus, because presumably, on that basis if HK was going to idol out someone, it would be Wood. She said she got frazzled between the Hedwig's Killer's Killers thread and HK's thread. Makes sense. And finally, the last line of the message said for the receipeint to stick with Black. I wasn't voting Black, I was voting HK, so it on that basis the message could have only been for HK. Lily absolved.
Case no. 1. is a lot harder to crack. Neither Lily nor Wood would confirm which of them was lying. But frankly, once I had all the evidence, it was cleary Wood. The evidence suggests that Wood formed a secret bond with HK back at the DP which he hadn't even told me about, so he tried to save him through the idol while still keeping the votes on HK and leaving Lily and I nonethewiser of his secret plan.
Wood still wont admit it though and I am fucked in this game without him, so I've moved on. It was a dumb move from him and blew up in his face, but it wasn't a move on me. It was a move to save his secret ally.
So I proposed a little test of faith to see if we could keep on together. He sent me his idol. And I sent it right back. Trust restored.
I hope...

Peter PettigrewCan I please clarify a rule before I send a missive and potentially get myself in trouble. Am I allowed to tell someone that wood and I have passed 100 house points so I know hIs ID hence why I trust him?

Please tread veeeery carefully here. You can say that you've achieved a Mutual ID Reveal, but shouldn't imply anything about what his ID tells you, and you certainly can't say that you trust him because of who he is (as opposed to the fact that you do know who he is, which is a built in Game mechanic).
You know his ID so it's okay for you to make decisions based around it, and what you know of Joey as a person. But giving any hints of that to other players would count as ID speculation, allowing them to potentially narrow down his ID and thus your own.

I'm going to do the werid RP thing for you Peter. Even though I reckon there is a 90% chance I'm gone tonight, I won't let you down because this ORG has been absolutely incredble.

My 100 words as HK
'I am an enigma wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in darkness. I am one. I am everyone. I am my signature. I am not. I am victory. I succeed in spite of myself. I am failure. I hate everyone. I am confident yet unsure. I am aloof yet passionate. I have no idol. I have the concept of an idol. I am no longer Igor Karkaroff's favourite. I am always his favourite. I am the embodiment of all things and no things. I am the question. I am the answer. I killed a bird once.'
