Week 1

[Harry Potter]

I am super excited to be back playing an ORG, especially with a Harry Potter theme! It looks like it's a well-thought out game, so I'm sure it will be fun. Hopefully the cast will make it a good one! Can't wait to start to see what is in store for us in the game. Only two more people to check-in and the game can begin. So I'll patiently await Molly and Draco's check ins and we are ready to go!

[Harry Potter]

So I've done my usual mass PM to everyone in the game just to introduce myself and say good luck in the first challenge. Which will be difficult and a lot of guess work probably. We have to figure out which house each houseguest was sorted into. Derrick and Jordan both posted their images to their avatars already. And I know what mine is. Candice wants to make a deal to trade our houses; and she said she would keep me safe if we were in the same house -- but she didn't say that would be the case if we weren't in the same house, which I doubt we are. At this point, I would tell the truth to anyone who asks -- no use making enemies as soon as the game starts! I don't really see myself winning this competition, but who knows; I've surprised myself in the past!

Tiebreaker 2: Ravenclaw

[Harry Potter]

So the first HoH challenge is over -- and I didn't win. Honestly, I didn't expect to, so I'm totally fine with not winning. However, I didn't do bad. I made a lot of guesses, only 4 of which were wrong. I got 11/15, which was a tie for second place with Jordan. Aaryn, came out on top with a perfect score of 15/15. After the results were made, Professor McGonagall announced that the HOH each week would have to do two additional things along with nominations. One is to send one person to the Room of Requirement. There that person could unleash something on the game that can help them, help someone else, hurt their game, hurt some else's game... the possibilities are endless I believe. That person sent to the Room of Requirement is still eligible to be nominated or be the replacement nominee. The second is to send someone to the Forbidden Forest. The person sent there are safe for the week, can't participate in the Power of Veto challenge -- nor can they play in next week's HOH challenge. So while they are safe for the entire week, they are definitely vulnerable coming back into the castle after being away for a round of play!

I hope Aaryn won't see me as a threat, even though I got 11/15 right. We are in the same house, so hopefully that will count for something! She could be a possible ally in the future. We'll have to see how this plays out! :/

[Harry Potter]

So Aaryn has sent Jordan to the Forbidden Forest; to be safe for the remainder of the week, but not able to play next week's HOH. And she has chosen Derrick to head to the Room of Requirement. In the Nomination Ceremony, she has named Candice and Fleur as the first nominees for the game. I was kind of nervous going into the nomination ceremony; just because coming in second (with Jordan) could have been seen as a threat -- which isn't good early on. And it really was lucky guesses that I made to get that high of a score. Anyways in the Room of Requirement, Derrick found an auto-nomination, so he a third nominee for this week. Derrick and I have been talking a bit, and he seems like a good guy; so hopefully he can win the POV and stay in the game! He could be someone good to work with later on. As for the Power of Veto, I was not chosen to play, so I'll sit back and hope that I don't become a replacement nominee, should the POV be used on any of the nominees!

[Harry Potter]

So Derrick won the Power of Veto, and he saved himself. As HOH, even thought Derrick was auto-nominated by the Room of Requirement, Aaryn had to name a replacement nominee. I didn't think she would nominate me, as we have talked on here and on AIM; but one never can be too sure. Luckily, she nominated Britney to take Derrick's place, and voila... I made it through week one! Haha! Candice has asked me not to vote for her. Since she asked, I will not be voting for her. Now it's just between Britney or Fleur as to who I want to vote out this week. I haven't talked much with either, so really I think I may try to find out who the majority is voting for and go from there.
