And finally if Barty wins immunity, MASSIVE congrats to him because winning a vocab challenge as a NESB person is a tremendous achievement
This would be the trickiest scenario. - safest move would be to vote with Barty on RAB and the worst thing that happens to me is a 2-2 FMC with RAB - the riskier and sexier move would be to convince Yax to vote me, Barty to vote RAB, and work with RAB to put 2 votes on Yax and create our own 2-1-1. The danger of that move is if RAB just joins with Yax and votes me out in a 2-1-1

If RAB wins immunity I imagine it'll also be difficult I would hope that finally then would Barty agree to vote out Yax. That would be 2 votes on Yax. In that situation I would have to convince RAB that Yax is too big of a WIzengamot threat (will point out how eloquent he is in his PM's) and we need to take him out 3-1, rather than give him a 2-2 shot (and another chance to look good in front of the WIzengamot) So this result happened... I guess my other angle is if he wants to win FIC to guarantee that he gets to the end then taking out the biggest immunity threat is the way to do it

Otherwise just gotta hope the FMC challenge doesn't rely on me having a dual screen or a mouse

I am so glad I am not doing this FMC
I would have 100% lost this
Hopefully Barty pulls through

And the game just got tougher on me to make it to the end and I'm getting big All Stars flashbacks
I can only hope that Regulus thinks that he's got a better shot with me than with Yax - Yax basically called me Barty's little stooge so he might think i'm not much of a threat at the end
of course, he could easily see that both Yax and I take him to the end so he doesn't even need to compete, a la Richard Hatch

Ooooooft I thought I had a shot at making F2 if I could hope Regulus would win FIC and take me but looking at the FIC I know I have no chance.
It's a quiz about who has whose wand - and I finish on a fat 1/17 (lovingly provided by the very first boot of the game) I think Barty got given 3 + his own, but because he couldn't give them to me, I assume he gave them to Yaxley
In fact, I'm sure that Yaxley has the vast majority of the 17 wands so he'll easily win this challenge.
Which means Yaxley will take Regulus to the end and I don't think there's any argument that I can make to change his mind - he pretty much said that Regulus has no chance of winning at the F4 council.
=============================
Which means Barty and I go out back to back - I still stand by that if we had booted Yaxley last round, RAB could have been convinced to take out Diggle at F4 and then Barty, with his bequeathal of wands from Yaxley could have won FIC and taken me
but .......

Anyways looking back at this game, I walked into it with the goal of finding some redemption from All Stars. Not in terms of placement, although I am going out in the exact same position at 3/20 because I can't win a challenge to save my life... but in just wanting to have a solid ally that I could trust 100% and work towards helping the both of us do well, even if it meant potentially jeopardising my individual game. And I think I achieved that with Barty - we worked incredibly well together, becoming House Point sluts (finishing with 320), but also being able to plan all our strategic moves together (apart from the ones he impulsively came up with in the 10 mins prior to Council), and even though everyone thinks they're the main character of their narrative, I truly believe that Barty and I ran this game through our pairs alliance, in spite of the constant twists that the game threw at us. - And that's not to say that Yax won't make a super deserving winner - he's played very well "physically", socially, strategically. I think if we had started on the same Side, he would have been my No. 1. I know he mentioned that reaching the F3 was a big thing for him because he had never made that before, so I'm glad that he'll be able to top that by taking out the crown .Prime Ministry from Peter. And I don't feel truly awful or really regret any boot (Soz Fleur, needed to happen) that I made this time. I'll prob enter the Wizengamot to an annoyed jury but they probably won't be actively hating me like in the 26 pages of All Stars Ponderosa. So with all that being said, I think I achieved the goals I set out to do and I can re-enter ORG retirement for good this time. Thanks so much Peter Pettigrew and fellow Ministry hosts for a very well run ORG, super rich in theming, and I think you achieved your goal of paying tribute to the fandom without glorifying the Cancelled author ![](https://discord.com/channels/@me/701813967936290816/979036772191313951) ![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/701813967936290816/979036771998392390/unknown.png) ![](https://discord.com/channels/@me/701813967936290816/979036772191313951)

Ummm... maybe don't eulogise yourself while you're still in the game? ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) As much as I appreciate the praise. I say this without even having even looked at your Challenge submission yet. But I also haven't noticed The Fat Lady singing anything yet!

You've made it through a two grueling Challenges, and now just one more step lies between you and the Final Magical Council! The questions today are all obvious, but they do still need to be asked... 1. Why did you choose to vote for Yaxley last round and force a tie? How does losing Crouch to the Tiebreaker Duel impact your final rounds? 2. If Yaxley wins Final Immunity, who do you think he will take with him to the finals, and how can you increase the chances that it will be you? 3. If Regulus wins Final Immunity, who do you think he will take with him to the finals, and how can you increase the chances that it will be you? 4. If you win Final Immunity, who will you take with you to the finals? What factors would you need to consider in making that key decision? Also please note that the deadlines for this round are delayed due to the Survivor 42 finale - Challenge results at 9:30pm, Magical Council begins at 10:30pm.

Oh don’t worry I’m still going to make a big pitch to yax - it’s just really hard to make a great one when I don’t even believe the words that I’m saying I was just making use of the time I have now to journal my thoughts

I’ve literally thrown the kitchen sink at Yax today trying to get him to take me
I’ve broken down likely juror votes earlier today
Tonight, I even used the wand challenge results as a proxy for the way jurors are likely to vote
Like I only picked up one wand from Arabella who was a day 1 quit I got zero juror wands - whereas regulus was directly bequeathed his wand by Fleur and wood
I think my chances are hurt by working with Yaxley so tightly since the swap. Barty is the only one truly away of my strategic game but Yaxley probably has the next most accurate view of it - which unfortunately means he doesn’t underestimate me like the jury does

Sighs Yax reminded me that I haven’t received a single vote all game but the first vote I get is the one that’s going to stop me from reaching F2 :’(
