Another night, another uncertain vote. At least the end of the week is in sight... 1. Lucius got voted out in tonight's revote! Was that your preferred outcome? And did it all go according to plan? 2. Where does his elimination leave the Merge Side dynamics currently? 3. How did you approach targeting your Side Buddies during the Wizards at War Challenge? Were you surprised by the results? 4. Despite getting mentions and allusions at the Magical Councils, the Merge Side is yet to see a Hidden Immunity Item played. Where do you believe they are, and do you think you are doing as much as you can to play around them (or with them, as the case may be)? 5. What is your plan for this upcoming Final Eight Vote? 6. What are your long-term plans? Are we close enough to the end of the game that you need to consider who might be a threat to receive votes from the Wizengamot?

1. Yes, and no but yes Actually the confusion may have worked to my benefit because it helped with my agenda of painting Diggle and Yaxley as being kinda sneaky. Yaxley was obviously trying to get us to pile on Oliver (and I hope that both, him trying to do it and me clearly saying no, would help to get Oliver to trust me again; and Diggle was just all around a hot mess. I feel like he would have gotten much easier if he just took the heat from creating a group chat where we can all agree at once rather than trying to have seven different conversations at the same time and then not being clear enough in those chats so we ended up with what Lily thought were the wrong numbers, but actually these numbers were exactly what I wanted because it can also only help me if more people have to write down a name of someone who doesn't go home Of course smart players can make it seem like they only voted to split but the move wasn't actually against that person, but the confusion and the push to actually turn the vote around should dash those illusions. 2. So from my perspective the dynamics are something like this me/Black/Moody me/Lily/Oliver me/Diggle/Moody Diggle/Yaxley Yaxley/Crouch Crouch/Lily Lily/Oliver And a lot of those groupings that don't involve me could be somewhat fractured now Ideally if the next person to go home is either Diggle or Yaxley (I don't think I would really care who) and then after that if I could use Oliver to break up Crouch and Lily, we could be in a final6 with Moody and Black on one side and Lily and Oliver on the other. I have to be pretty careful though because one wrong move and I can be going home. 3. It's simple: I only cared about making sure Diggle and Oliver wouldn't win immunity. Everything else was secondary. On the other side I didn't target Malfoy even once even though I definitely wanted him to lose but I was confident that someone else would finish him (and myself) for the same reason. I'm honestly glad we had such an easily gameable challenge, even though obviously we couldn't officially game it, or even wink at a certain direction (I would have never done that) but I'm sure we are all smart enough to know that when targets for a split are Oliver and Malfoy that none of those 4 people can win, so it was definitely not a coincidence that us 4 ended up at the bottom (I also didn't flick Malfoy because I knew that this way I could control him better. Ie. if he wins I would win as well so at least I would live to see another day) 4. Pretty sure Oliver has one. It's kinda difficult to know about the rest. Both of the swap idols are a complete mistery, although I am hopeful that they were never found. I guess Black could in theory have one and not want to tell me, which, fair enough. But I would at least hope that Moody would, and then there's of course Diggle from our side. On the other side if HK didn't have it then I'm slightly concerned that Yaxley might. If Oliver had access to two they would have surely played them? 5. So Diggle's name has been brought up and honestly I don't think I would mind. Of course I would prefer Yaxley but I feel like Diggle could work too? The only thing that is a slight concern for me is that the swapped Sides are now getting a bit lopsided; which actually now that I think about it I may have to go back to the drawing board because maybe this isn't the best idea? I think I need to talk to Moody in particular so I hope there's enough time for that. 6. I know I can't afford to get cocky but I feel like I should have a good chance of getting 5 votes against most people. However I don't think I would want to sit next to Yaxley or Lily in particular. With Diggle it depends on how much others actually see him as being all over the place or is it just me. Black is kinda difficult because on one hand I feel like I could argue that he needed me more than I needed him but on the other hand he is the clear underdog. I think that Moody is great but him not being able to be here at deadlines may end up hurting him a bit. Oliver also has been a bit absent at times which may hurt his chances. Crouch is difficult for me to read because the way he is speaking to me makes him sound like a total follower, but I kinda don't think that's very likely for someone who has been regarded as most likely to be the last DE standing. Maybe not the most strategic force but clearly social.

Lily is losing a lot of respect in my eyes by apparently attributing all of her decisions to me. Like, just say what you want to do but apparently it's always "Fleur says this", "Fleur thinks we should do that" and it's just honestly getting way too OTT
