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.

What is there to do? I made a move last round that caused a lot of drama for me, but now there just isn't much to say anymore. One way or another, it's 5v4. We should probably be pooling money in order to buy an Expelliarmus, but aside from that if someone is considering flipping I don't think there's much I can do about it.

I might as well say some last words just in case.

Peeves: My enemy. I don't know why I ended up thinking that way, but he was always the person I was most worried about. I didn't even give him a chance to work with me, so if I'm voted out this round, he's probably the person I'd be on best terms with.

Hagrid: The longest lasting sheep. Hopefully he's gone next. Do I feel bad for deceiving him? Not really. That's the way the game goes.

Neville: Did he ever actually want to work with me? If he did back on the Order before we knew that there was a revival, then I guess I bungled that up pretty bad. I don't think that there was ever a chance of us working together in the long term as long as Myrtle was around.

Myrtle: I kind of switched places with her last round. For most of the game, she was the person that absolutely no one could trust, though it appears that she's actually taken a side now while I was off being sleazy. All I ever wanted to do was use her, though if I was going to do that then maybe I shouldn't have been quite as open about it as I was. It's not a very good backstab when it's telegraphed that much.

Tonks: She likes to talk. A lot. But we never actually seem to get anywhere. She seems more like a threat than an ally, kind of like Terra from KH Oblivion. Obviously I don't really have the position to say that for certain, but that is my guess right now. I hope we're on the same side, but if I'm going to have a chance, then she needs to be out at F5.

Okay, up until this point I've been trying to mention people in the reverse order of how close I am to them, but the remaining three I really can't say where they'd be if I had to compare them to each other. If this does become the F4, I hope I have a lot more information to go off of before I have to decide.

Fenrir: He hasn't explicitly said that I am the person he trusts most in the game, as Figg and Luna have, but I still really like him, and he's been the single person I've wanted to work with the most all game.

Luna: She's the only person who even comes near my level of taking forever to respond to stuff. I don't know if that's the main reason why I feel as if I can trust her so much, but no matter what it is she comes off as the most genuine person in the game.

Mrs. Figg: I said that you were who I was going to go to the end with. I don't break my promises. Her apparent loyalty to me is insane, so I can't even think about not taking her to the end, even if I do feel a more emotional attachment to the other two.

Mrs. Figg just told me that she's stopped caring about winning. Thinking about it, maybe I'm wrong about Hagrid being the last sheep here. Do I try cheer her up about it though? Pretty much anything that would make her stand out to a jury would involve backstabbing me, and that's the last thing that I want.

Okay, Fenrir has the nullifier. I told all three of Luna, Fenrir, and Tonks about my plea to Myrtle last round without being asked about it, and they seem weirdly okay with it, so I don't think there's any reason left for any of them to mistrust me. That just leaves Figg being honest to make sure that I survive this. Like seriously, they know I have no money, and Luna already used the only idol, so I don't think they have a reason to be stringing me along.

Then again, Luna herself hasn't responded to me in three days. Both Tonks and Fenrir have mentioned talking with her, but I really can't say anything for absolute certainty until the EC is posted.

Um, Hagrid? Since it's obvious that you saw the PM before it was taken down, then shouldn't it be obvious that I do have an allegiance to...

Wait, I didn't actually mention Figg once, and it might not be possible to deduce from that. Well, I guess I can't complain.

If I swore in public, this would be the perfect time for it.

I'm not going to give some sort of BS excuse to Peeves/Neville. I've already done that once, and I'm not making that mistake again. My only hopes here are the Veto, and that Fenrir is closer to me than he is to Tonks, which I don't think is the case. That is assuming that Luna actually does want to vote off Tonks before we get to endgame.

When I say the veto, I mean on me. The veto being used on Tonks would be even worse.

Well, at least its a Google Forum/GIF challenge, because I think even with all of the things that it turns out that I'm not as good as I think I am at, these are the challenges that I am fairly good at.

Even though I lost count several times, I think I ended up getting an accurate answer for all of them. I did it decently quickly as well, though I lost count like three times for each coin so I could have been slower than someone else if they know the trick to these.

If you are worried that it was cheating, then contact me somewhere more private. I highly doubt that what I did was illegal in any way, but I need to hold some secrets in order to stay ahead of the competition. I will say that I didn't use any outside programs. Not even notepad.

Even though Big Brother style votes seem like they are going to be interesting, they always end up being terrible. First Donald and Goofy, and now every single Big Brother round appears to want to do the exact worst thing for me that it could possibly do at a given time. And now that I said that, Tonks is going to get Vetoed. Maybe I should just hit Ctrl+Backspace a few times and not post this in order to not jinx myself. Meh, I guess it doesn't actually matter.

Mrs. Figg
 
And Hooch, I honestly don't care that much about winning the game now. I like you a lot and I'm going to stick by you and always consider you my closest ally. I know that this sounds like the kind of fake thing that survivor players say in order to get on people's good side, but I really mean it. You've been pretty amazing and the fact that you're telling me to play my own game is a great example of it. No other player here would tell me to do that. And I say the same to you. I honestly would be just as happy if not more happy if you won the game than if I won. If you become closer to someone else than to me out of necessity, then I totally understand that. You do what you need to do to win the game as well. I'm a firm believer in it not being over until you're out. I'd also like to say that, no matter what happens, it's been an absolute pleasure getting to play this game with you.
I believe her when she says all this, its just that it seems really unhealthy to me. Not only just because of general rule two, but also because I really haven't done anything to make this type of attitude make any sense. The only thing I can think of is that she feels sorry for me for one reason or another, and if I do somehow end up winning, I really don't want that to be the reason why.

It's going to be really interesting to see how many people know who I am, and if that's affected their play at all. I know that I haven't really tried to hide it as much as I could have, but since I haven't played in a while then a lot of the people who have started since Arkham might not know what my style is or that I ever actually play.

Well, I guess I shouldn't have believed her. I guess there's a chance that Hagrid said that if I was vetoed then he would put Figg up, but then she'd be safe anyway so I don't know why she wouldn't veto me unless she actually didn't care whether I was voted out here or not.

Despite what I said in the EC, I haven't given up. If Figg, Luna, and I pool our Galleons, we might have just enough to get one vote on our side, and because Fenrir doesn't have a vote then that would be enough to save me unless the other side uses a spell as well.

Hello darling. It's been a while hasn't it? Answer these questions truthfully. You mustn't tell lies.

Q1: You've made the Top 8. Please give yourself a critique on your game play up until this point.
Q2: How has the Big Brother rounds effected your game play?
Q3: What is your plan to make it to the Final 2?
Q4: Also, who is your ideal Final 2 partner? One name only please.
Q5: Finally, list the next 6 boots from this round up until the Final 2 and how you plan on achieving said results.

1. Solid on everything except the Big Brother rounds, and bringing back Myrtle. Everywhere else, I've made the necessary connections and would have worked my way success, and Luna's Cloak countered the mistake I made by allowing Myrtle to return. That brings me to the next question.

2. They have screwed me over, bad. Winning the first one and Neville winning the veto forced me to completely alienate Myrtle/Neville/Hagrid. The second one somehow got won by one of them who has a massive grudge against me for being open about the truth that everyone else is hiding from him. I should have been vetoed here easily, but Figg beat me out. That wouldn't have even been a problem if she actually knew how Big Brother worked.

3. I'm just going to say this at question 5.

4. Luna.

5. This one obviously has to be Tonks, which can only be gained through Luna, Figg, and myself buying an Expelliarmus without anyone else catching wind of it. From here I'm just going to assume that this works, or else I couldn't even bother with the rest.

The next round, Hagrid is going. He's being used, but he's being thickheaded enough to not realize it. Backup plan is Peeves in case of immunity. Fenrir's Expelliarmus should force this one to work in spite of items.

F6 is a Big Brother round. We need to win this one this time, or else I'm gone. Again. If one of us wins, then either Peeves or Neville needs to be voted out.

F5 is the other of Peeves and Neville. A stunning spell should suffice here.

F4 is a Big Brother round. ??? is going to happen, it really depends on who wins and who has the vote. Ideally for me, Fenrir will be voted out here. I'm not going to bother going through all the possibilities, because it would be a waste at this point in time.

If any of Luna, Figg, or myself win in F3, and I am also there, then I should be set for F2 if nothing changes between then and now.

Extra note, my money is going to Luna rather than Figg, because we need cooperation from all three parties if this is going to work, and Luna is the one with a closer connection with Tonks. Theoretically it shouldn't matter, but Luna being the person who actually buys it would make her feel better about it, especially since she would have already gotten transfers from both Figg and myself to show that we are actually all in support of it.

Also because I'm a little bitter at Figg for not understanding the rules of the PoV.

So, Luna has been on and hasn't responded to my plan yet, so it looks like it's not happening. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

And Hagrid honestly thinks that he has a chance of winning. Seriously, even if Peeves/Neville do intend on continuing to string him along to F3, even without me Figg/Tonks/Luna/Fenrir will win out. Unless of course Figg was only working with those three because of me, and she turns back to Neville if I'm voted out. Still though, that would mean that Figg would probably be taken over Hagrid. Like, dude, you have no chance.

Hagrid's even getting cocky about it. It's making me sick.

Especially since I just realized that if I'm voted out here, then Figg will probably go back to Neville, putting the rest of my allies in the minority. Luna needs to buy the nullifier, or everything I somehow stumbled upon worked to build is going to be all for naught.

Mrs. Figg is resisting, saying that Luna won't go for it. I haven't heard from Luna yet, because I don't think she's been on. I really hope that Mrs. Figg isn't just using her doubts about Luna as a way of passing the buck.
