Guess what!? YOU just made it to the Finale episode of The ORG of the Phoenix! ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) Immunity Pairs are done. Hidden Immunity Items are done. Pureblood vs Order is... not quite done. But all that matters now is the relationships between the four of you who remain. We'll have three more Magical Councils, culminating in a Final Two facing the Wizengamot, and then the crowning of one Sole Sur Prime Minister for Magic. Who very well could be you ![;D](http://i.imgur.com/FVUId1j.png) 1. That was quite the tense round we just had. How did the strategising play out at Final Five, and why was Diggle the majority target? 2. Did you want to see Diggle leave there? What difference does his exit make to the dynamics for the last few rounds? Does your playing an Item on Yaxley change anything? 3. How do you see the Final Four vote playing out tomorrow? Who would you like to see leave next? 4. How do you like your chances of reaching the Final Two? What are you doing to increase the likelihood that you make it there? 5. Should you reach the Final Magical Council, how likely do you think you are to win the Wizengamot vote? Which of the other players would you prefer to have beside you in the Final Two? Finally, in the event of a tied vote tomorrow we'll be playing a Tiebreaker Duel, which needs to be run live. Will you be able to make it online for this Magical Council?

Guess what!? YOU just made it to the Finale episode of The ORG of the Phoenix! Did I? such a bittersweet moment... again... On one hand i kinda pulled the move i wanted... but... i made Lily angry and dissapointed in me. Yaxley is unhappy too... i let my emotions win over everything. Stupid Barty, i promised myself to be emotionless gamebot next time i play, and i failed at it...Immunity Pairs are done. Hidden Immunity Items are done. Pureblood vs Order is... not quite done. But all that matters now is the relationships between the four of you who remain. We'll have three more Magical Councils, culminating in a Final Two facing the Wizengamot, and then the crowning of one Sole Sur Prime Minister for Magic. Who very well could be you Not Gonna lie, i felt confident about that possibility before... but not today... Not my season to win...1. That was quite the tense round we just had. How did the strategising play out at Final Five, and why was Diggle the majority target?Oh dude... basically with 5 mins till the PM locked, i was the only one preferring to vote for Diggle... but i strongholded... stronghanded... or what's that word? i put my leg down, claiming that i won't vote Yaxley, making the vote turn to Diggle...
Of course i could have voted for RAB, but i thought that it would make Lily angry... well, now she is more disappointed and annoyed by me than angry, but it's still not good for anyone. Damn, i have so much F4 experience, but i still manage to f*ck everything up even with getting my target out...2. Did you want to see Diggle leave there? What difference does his exit make to the dynamics for the last few rounds? Does your playing an Item on Yaxley change anything?out of 3 possible votes, best move for me would had been Diggle/RAB/Yaxley, but my emotions would had preferred to simply vote RAB out and then battle it out with Diggle and Yaxley. Yaxley would had received 2 votesif i hadn't played that idol on him. Just as i informed Lily about playing an idol, she switched her and RAB's votes from Yaxley to Diggle.3. How do you see the Final Four vote playing out tomorrow? Who would you like to see leave next?i believe i told that before, but i really hope that RAB goes home tomorrow. Leaving a F3 between me, Yaxley and Lily. Which despite both Yaxley and Lily being disappointed in me - i believe they both would take me to the end with them.4. How do you like your chances of reaching the Final Two? What are you doing to increase the likelihood that you make it there?Next 13 hours will answer it. If i manage to get RAB out - i am feeling super confident about my chances to make F2. If i can't do it... i might take 4th place... so in other words - getting RAB out is the best way for me to increase it's likelihood.5. Should you reach the Final Magical Council, how likely do you think you are to win the Wizengamot vote? Which of the other players would you prefer to have beside you in the Final Two?dude... why did you had to ask me this? I want to be like Richard, going to F3 with 2 people who i know both would take me to the end. If i sit there against Lily - she will win and i will be happy for her. If i sit here against Yaxley - it will be a big battle, and vote can go either way...Finally, in the event of a tied vote tomorrow we'll be playing a Tiebreaker Duel, which needs to be run live. Will you be able to make it online for this Magical Council?Yes, i'll be here (for you)

That's it - no more orgs for me. Lets finish this game and i won't play any other. Ever. I just had 12 hours of messages with Yaxley and Lily. Super intense un unfriendly - borderline passive-aggresive messages. Then i went to check up Diggle's last words and i remember he said something nice, but i got distracted to didn't remembered what he said... he literally said the nicest words possible in that situation... and he left me his wands... all that added to mentaly intense conversations all day wrecked me so much... i am crying out loud for the last 20mins... i hope i will cry myself to sleep and wake up with fresher mind.. for f*cks sake, i didn't cried that much even while watching videos from Ukraine. No game should make a person more emotional than watching horrible stuff IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
If anyone sees me applying anywhere before 2025 - please don't cast me. Thank you.

So sorry it's getting to you Barty ![:'(](http://images.proboards.com/new/cry.gif) I know how intense these Games can get, and how despite all logic and reason we tend to internalise personal situations more than things further away, regardless of scale. So have one of these: ![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/d9/69/3fd969d383bd2eae499949a498f90248.gif) And then have a good sleep, and a better day tomorrow when the feels don't hit so hard and the rationality comes easier ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif)

I am sorry Barty, but the time has come for me to pu- to puni- to punish… No, to REWARD you. ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) ![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519p6EIZ-SL._SX425_.jpg) On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, congratulations on making it to Final 4. However this shakes out, you’ve been phenomenal. Good luck.

And chin up, ya hear? Of course emotions come into ORGs and that is natural, but try and remind yourself that it's just a game- at the end of the day everyone is all smiles when it's all over.

My plan if i win F4 challenge is give the immunity to Lily, ask one more time how she wants me to vote, vote probably Yaxley and be dead inside. But i couldn't tell her that as i simply don't think i have any chances to win this challenge, and it all might sound as a discussion about a challenge to hosts.

It was in the Rules and Expectations thread, in your Floo Network board, in the middle of the rule mentioning the Tiebreaker Duel.

This game was SOOOOOO different than Sicily, but last 24 hours gives me so much flashbacks. some tears after F5, feeling like a mercy kill in F4, me going to apologize to Casey in Sicily / explain myself to Diggle/Malfoy here instantly after joining Ponderosa... Hosts basically copy/paste same text in "Welcome Crouch" thread and they wrote in Sicily too! Diggle's spoiler tag blew my head off... If he says we should recognize each other... and i did that to someone who i consider close outside the game... i won't forgive myself! for f*cks sake, i had played billions of open ID orgs, and turned on pre-game friends million times, but the idea of doing something like that to Stranded people i got to know on personal level - feel dirty and disgusting....

You always have to find something to stress about, don't you ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Leave the Cast Reveal worries until the Cast Reveal. And know that while I'm not allowed to influence the Wizengamot at all, IMHO you played a far superior game here to what you did in Sicily. Even aside from the external factors of having a larger, more experienced cast to deal with.

Just leaving it here to have it easier to find when needed. Corban Yaxley ! Regulus Black ! So many people are jealous of your place today, so i hope you all enjoy this experience, as there's at least 18 who would offer you to switch places if you don't enjoy it! RAB! We had kinda strange relationship, didn't we? Despite of being in alliance pre-swap, I never felt "click" between us, with all the conversations leading nowhere. HOWEVER, it was completely reversed in the merge. We never worked together here, despite of couple times me promising to watch your back there - besides of Kingsley vote, i was watching that back only because of feeling like there's bigger players to vote now, and look at us now! You managed to reduce your threat level to that kind of level which got you to F4, and then you started to kick ass. Amazing. You lost your day 1 bestie Carrow and your BvW partner Figg on the 1st round, but still managed to get here without them. Well done. But what I, and i think a lot of others thinks / sees, is that you survived not because of your social or strategic skills, but because of people always having bigger fishes to fry... and in F7 occasions - strickly because of the immunity given to you by.... by no other than the player sitting next to you. Could you tell us what we didn't noticed? How intentional was your low threat level? What did you do to keep it low?Yaxley! From the first, till the last day, you were amazing allie. I couldn't been luckier to be stuck with you all the game. If in the F4 tiebreaker it would had been anyone else that you (or Lily of course) i would had refused to any extra clues as soon as they mentions about having to leave soon. But I simply didn't had balls to do it to you. Your awesome social game got me around your finger, and looking back, it ruined my and Lily's games. I don't know how much you already read in other people speeches, as i write mine on Friday, but... i hope you are sitting down, as it will blow your mind same as it did for me... There is much more Regulus fans in this Jury than it was Lily's fans... So you will need to fight here. Fight as you fought all season for this victory. Could you tell us more about your individual strategic game? as apparently being in all of the controlling alliances is not enough for some. The time i remember the most was when you made solely decision in Pyrites/HK choice during the days of Daily Prophet. Also, you made a decision that we should look for other options than reconecting to Malfoy in the merge. Please tell us more of such occasions. There's plenty of open votes in this Jury, so I hope to see the best fight from each of you. Will be reading everything carefully, and can't wait to meet you on the other side! Enjoy the last adventure of this awesomeness!

reading Yaxley's answers i start feeling like i kept him much closer to my heart than he did me :/ It probably won't change the vote too much, but still... makes me feel stupid. That text on the merge idol was perfect for me.
