Oh damn, Tonks is greener than I am? Real impressive, you seemed super solid. Wish we coulda synced up, I felt like we clicked more or less immediately at merge but that division was real rough. Also; I'd been wonderin' who did that faithful Wood <-> Digg swap the whole o' the merge, so cheers on savin' me with that one lass! i mean green but some people are just that naturally amazing!

It could just result in me being eliminated suddenly and without warning... But if I can cruise by Im probably in ok shape." Peter Pettigrew First, it was an honour to have you play for me, Rob ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) however fun things were or weren't at times. Second, I'm going to point you toward plenty of blogs rather than dump an essay here, and try to summarise. You were such a strong presence here, in a Game where most of the heavy roleplayers (in approach, rather than accent) were out early, that it stood out immediately and the hivemind quickly labelled you as a worryingly experienced player to watch out for. The boastfulness of your shtick played into that in the worst ways, the Malfoy (Manor) paranoia didn't help, and thus almost everything you did all Game was interpreted for the worst as sophistry, aggression, manipulation or red flags. Your affability eventually wore down the doubts of those willing to give you a chance, but most felt they were treading on eggshells around you and obviously stoked your frustrations by struggling to cover that up. And your honesty in calling that out only fed their fears, continuing the positive feedback loop. Your absence during the Merge round undid any traction you had made and reinforced you as The Big Threat to rally numbers around - a call so ingrained in the mob mentality by then that, as you saw, it subsisted even through the insanity of that vote, and even though removing you went against the actual best interests of almost everybody involved. Not to mention rubbing off on Tonks. A lot of it was rough to watch ![:-S](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png) however I hope that with more context you'll feel less jaded about everything. Because there's so much of your journey here that was enjoyable, from everything about your shtick to some of your more absurd Challenge results, your status as straightman and champion for logic amidst a less predictable cast ![:unsure](https://i.imgur.com/FYIQtPH.gif) and your witty banter, even on the Wizengamot. I don't regret having you here, and I truly hope you'll come around on that too eventually ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) (On a lighter note, I'm pleased to finally inform you that the Diary Journal thing is a running joke in A Very Potter Senior Year, where Tom Riddle is prepared to murder anyone who embarrasses him by describing it incorrectly. Side Buddies are a reference to the copyright-avoiding Death Buddies in Puffs, and yes you should have known the lengths I'd go to when incorporating throwaway gags into theming.) Dolores Umbridge Inspired rep choice, and you really exploded on to the boards from minute one, which was amazing to see. I felt like this was an intentionally obtuse and off-putting character in some ways; so some got it and some didn't. Those that got it found you hilarious, those that didn't weren't as keen on you, but that's to be expected. I love it when people embrace a character like this, perhaps it's just not as common in Aussie games (especially with a newish-leaning cast), so don't take that to heart. You were just a big character and presence, so were always gonna become a target sooner or later. My favorite moment of yours was the merge round. You just seemed flabbergasted at everything that was going on around you, and it was hilarious. And your exit, while incredibly frustrating for you, was one of the highlights of the game for sure. I know you don't have the best feelings about your experience in this, as evident by your jury stint, but I'm hopeful that this cast reveal may temper that.

LOL Daini was my first guess for HK, but Rob was definitely my 2nd guess. A lot of Fabio to him.

Ugh Rob!!! I'm so so pissed that we couldn't have played together longer. You were easily my favourite person to talk to and I adored you 110% in this game which I'm sure you know.

It's regretful that the signature was deleted. It was my favorite thing in the game besides the fact that there was a group PM called "Hedwig's Killer Killers"

That group chat certainly did do some killing... And the casualties weren't just HK.
