I just lost Seamus who was my favorite person in the game since the beginning but I kept Harry because that is what McGonagall told me to do and I am really just following her at this point so people will see that she is the one calling the shots and not me.

Now we have a Survivor round coming up and we really need to not lose another Gryffindor :( If we do, wow. I mean as long as it isn't me then I really won't be too crushed but I can't be in the minority again. We need to try to pull something with Slytherin OR Ravenclaw. I'm not really counting my chickens though, I don't expect there to be some upset.

The Gryffindor slaughter is going to continue so I just need to avoid it, which means being social and trying to get people to want to include me in their plans for the future when the Ravenclaw/Slytherin bloc inevitably splits. It won't be this coming round though, I don't think so.

Of course if we can just put the fear of God into the Slytherins about the Ravenclaws controlling the rounds during BB then that might be the best bet that we have.

You voted to keep Harry because McGonagall told you to and not because he saved you last round? I thought Hufflepuffs were supposed to be loyal wow.

And Grim Defeat isn't for another 2 books.

Oh yeah I voted for Harry to stay because he gave me the idol :<3 Well not really since Seamus told me that he told Harry to give me the idol so I really was torn. I also didn't want to make the decision myself, which I guess makes me weak but picking between the two people I enjoyed most in the game was rough and I was really just complacent after Ron went up.

I was seriously sitting there and chanting "Mcgonagall! McGonagall!" to myself during the entire time when Ollivander had to nominate someone else since she is the one I feel the least close to out of all of the Gryffindors.

Also it is crazy aggravating to keep conversation going with Hermione. I have tried so hard but she keeps ignoring it or is really just whatever about it. How am I supposed to swindle her when she won't even answer me? :rolleyes: Also Hooch just completely ignored me since I even sent her a PM asking who the vote was for. :(

And I was doing a Hermione throwback by using a chapter title, hopefully it motivates me to win this game and do well ^_^

I am trying Mrs. Helga! I'm just hoping I am being social and not a target over McGonagall/Harry. Snape told me something interesting about how Hermione wanted to try to take out McGonagall instead of Oliver, which means she would probably want to vote her off again. I'm just doing my best to stick to UTR and not try to outwardly flip anyone since playing too hard could just hurt me.

It is going to come down to if I was able to stay out of the line of fire :( McGonagall possibly having an item will make her a threat too, since hopefully people won't believe her when she says she has nothing. I hope she got something good like a doubler but I expect she got nothing. Even then a null wouldn't do much when the numbers are stacked 7 vs 4 :lol:

New plan: I just want to vote for McGonagall tonight since she told me she didn't have an idol and if I am the other person that they are splitting the vote on then I fucking need to make sure that the majority of the votes isn't going my way. I'm not about to see myself lose this game because I am trying to conserve the numbers of Gryffindor that are slowly dwindling anyway. I think I can get Ron in on that too and if he and I vote for McGonagall at least we will vote with the Ravenclaws and that should be some kind of majority and keep us in the game if they aren't splitting against McG and Harry like I thought that they were.

Please be an easy challenge tonight that I can do quickly and not seem like a big threat.

Well earlier today everyone was talking about a split vote plan, but there was also talk of Goyle getting the boot. Last night Ron and I were talking and we both decided that we were going to try to get Goyle on our side since if they were splitting the vote or doing anything fancy an alliance between me, Goyle and Ron seems like it is mutually beneficial to all of us.

Anyway fast forward to tonight but all of a sudden Ollivander and Quirrell are coming to me saying that they want to do Goyle. So Harry and I pick up and this and we decide that we are going to try to swing Goyle to our side and hope that they split the vote so we have his numbers.

During the voting period it was really just back and forth between McG and Goyle but Harry was able to clinch Goyle who finally messaged me back (from a short PM where I clearly explained what was going on that he completely ignored -_- ) and told me that he was voting for Snape and that is what he wanted to do.

So we capitalized on the fact that some Ravenclaws and some Slytherins voted Goyle and some voted McG to band together and all blindside Snape who none of us could stand and we all wished would have left at the beginning of the merge instead of Percy.

Now things are looking to be Quirrell/Malfoy with Hooch/Ollivander/Hermione versus the Gryffindors and Goyle? Basically tomorrow's BB round is all about control of the following round at the final nine. Big stakes for sure!
