Ministry of Magic; Much more likely to be the final merge.

So, I'm already starting to doubt Myrtle again. Apparently she was really close to Stan, and yet she hasn't mentioned this to me once yet. I guess that's not a problem since Stan is no longer with us, but that could also mean that she's on Peeves's side rather than ours. He did vote her out once before though, who really knows.

The first alliance mentioned was myself/Myrtle/Figg/Neville. I accepted it for now, but that doesn't seem like it would work out well in the long term. I don't actually think Neville trusts me that much to take me over either of the other two, and Myrtle/Figg realizing that would be bad. The main person I want to reconnect with is Fenrir, because he still seems like one of the more trustworthy people in the game. I also need to talk to Luna again, but she isn't around now so I can't say anything about her quite yet. If she is willing, she is still one of my highest priorities to work with as well.

And Tonks is still being Tonks, showing no signs of where she stands.

Nice. Luna's still here, and now there's no idol to worry about. Like, I do kind of wish that someone told me this was going to happen, because now I look like an idiot, but hey.

Now I have even less of a clue what I'm going to do.

Okay, I don't think I need to say that this is bad. Everything about this would have been fine if Neville hadn't won the PoV, but...

I don't think I should have put someone else as the backup nominee, but this reveals things a lot sooner than I would have liked. Especially since I'm in the middle of a really down period right now.

Okay, I feel as if I've lost all sympathy that I could have had, and if I keep going in this direction I'm going to get voted out just as Myrtle did last time. I know this pretty much goes against everything I've said so far, ever but I think this is my best option. What am I referring to?

Lose the vulnerable facade and go into full manipulator mode. Yeah it never works out in the end for AA villains, but there's usually still a chapter or two after the transformation and before they are defeated.

Your extraterritorial rights are too powerful to let yourself be voted out!

Crap, that means I'm going to have to go on an immunity run. I knew I should have looked harder for a 2-4 gif that DIDN'T completely cut off the before and after images.

Two edits later I'm still screwing that sentence up.

Anyway, PM to Myrtle that explains where I stand right now.

I'm not going to BS you here, because that would be easy enough to prove wrong. I did in fact say those things, and I've thought that way for most of the game so far. I stopped really trusting you as soon as you made the alliance with Draco without telling me about it until a few hours after he did himself.

Also it should be obvious by my nomination of Hagrid that I never actually cared about the Order as an alliance. The whole time I was on that tribe I intended on going back to working with Luna/Fenrir as soon as the merge hit. Recently though, Luna has been pleading for me not to nominate/vote her despite me constantly saying that I would rather vote with her, so it's clear that I'm at the bottom of her alliance structure. I am going to continue going against Snape/Peeves/Hagrid, but after that I'm going to have to chose between you/Neville, and Luna/Fenrir/Tonks. Since I doubt that either of you would actually want to work with me anymore, I would be forced to choose you/Neville since there's two of you and three of them.

I'm not going to give excuses for not PM'ing, I was in a delicate position of being allied to pretty much everyone and just didn't want to deal with it, so I didn't. This probably was going to cost me the game soon enough, but me winning HoH here seems to have expedited things.

My clean game, it appears that I was the one who ruined it after all.


I also PM'ed Figg and told her to jump ship. I know that I've probably ruined any chances of her doing well, but if things go badly for me then hopefully it can help her go farther herself.

...actually there is still a chance that I could have salvaged this without going crazy if I was just a bit more patient about things.

BUT I DON'T CARE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I don't have a vote this EC, correct?

You should still vote in the event the vote ties. If the vote ties your vote will break the tie. Your vote will not be revealed otherwise though.

Anyway, I've written to something to everyone (except Luna, but I will hopefully within the hour). I just quoted the PM I sent to Myrtle to Neville, because that's really all I have to say to him as well, I'm telling Fenrir and Co. that I think that I'm screwed, I'm going to be voted out soon, and I want to work with them in the future. (And then I added an addendum to the PM I sent Myrtle saying that I was saying that, and that what I want doesn't actually matter.) And I just felt like giving Snape and Hagrid full disclosure. I have no clue what's going to happen. I have no clue what I want to happen. Something will though, and whatever it is gives me a better chance to win than just sitting back letting everyone else unravel where I stand instead of hearing it from me personally. If I end up getting voted out next round because of this, I had no way of stopping everything from coming out anyway, so at least I learned that they would take vengeance on me sooner rather than later.


AKA, I royally screwed up. Maybe. I don't really know.

PM I didn't send to Snape
 
I think I was connected, but far too well. If I didn't cut out the few people who I wasn't, then I would have ended up either lying to people or just pissing them off faster than I would by just not responding.

From my perspective, the current alliances are you/Peeves, Myrtle/Neville, and Fenrir/Tonks/Luna, with Figg saying that she was closest to me and Hagrid being completely ignorant of everything. Fenrir and Luna are the people I've felt closest to in the game, so I wanted to work with them. I don't think Myrtle/Neville trust me in the least, and I don't trust them either, but I feel as if there's a decent chance that no one else trusts either of us either, so they may be forced to work with me despite everything. You, Peeves, and Hagrid are just the people who are left.

I knew that I was going to be voted out next as soon as Neville won PoV. I don't know if I was the target before that, but either way I know that the only way I can survive now is if people...
This is when I realized that sending this would be stupid, because if I am to have a chance, Luna needs to at least trust me a little bit, and Snape has some connection to Luna so I can't talk about it now, even if I want to.

Note that the last sentence would have been something similar to "if they are just bringing me along, because they don't know I'm not going to work with them even if they don't trust me in the least.

I'm sorry for doubting you; I just knew that choosing a 3rd person would have been a very tough choice for you, since you would have either had to pick a Death Eater you were close to, or someone from your own tribe.

Now that you have nominated Hagrid, I really trust you 100%. If the people that freaking voted me off are upset at you for that, then screw that. I'd much rather keep you than try to desperately fit in with the "popular kids" that I am in no way a part of.

You're now officially the person I most want to keep in the game. I shouldn't have ever worried about you, I trust you more than Fenrir and more than Snapes; and Tonks, well, I'm pretttty sure she's going to win the game if we don't do something about that eventually, but that's still a problem for later.

Please don't give up. I <3 you and I want you to stay. :)
This is... not the reaction I was expecting. It could be a hoax, but if it's not then I'm still in a decent position. I'm still going to have trouble surviving next round due to how broke I am right now, but it's 5v4 in our favor. I'm back to thinking that this might work.

Additional response to Myrtle's public post, I'm not here for a good time either. I'm here to win. Always have and always will be. Even if I'm being fatalistic right now, that doesn't mean that I want to be voted out.

I would have said that in my public response, but that goes to identity. I don't think many people outright say that they aren't joining a game in order to have fun.

Why does Myrtle seem to not be trying with me anymore. I know that I must look like the biggest slimeball ever to her right now, but I gave her an out and she ignored it.

That must mean that she has another one. What is it though? From what I can tell, she is completely screwed from all angles. There's no way Luna/Fenrir are flipping, and Tonks is almost as unflippable. Their only real option is Mrs. Figg.

Don't get paranoid, assume the best. If she flips, then I'm screwed anyway. If I look suspicious of her, then she'll consider flipping. I just need to make sure that doesn't happen.
