The rats and the snakes

[livejournal.com profile] scribbulus_ink is calling for players for an RPG where Gryffindors and Slytherins will test their ability to outwit, outplay, and outlast one another for fabulous cash prizes paid time for their player. Yes, that's right, it's HP Survivor! There are no words for how squeeful this makes me.

If no one volunteers to play Peter, I shall be seriously disappointed. He could go really far. Think about it: Who better to take with you to the final two than the most loathed character in the series?

Certainly they'll be more willing to make flexible alliances and betrayals.

That's really what I meant by "playing smart" -- lack of loyalty, not actual intelligence (though of course that'll help too). Genuine loyalty is a serious liability in Survivor: it doesn't get you ahead, and it doesn't even necessarily help you if you do manage to get to the final vote. People who played loyal and lost will sometimes turn around and vote for a player who was more cutthroat than they were.
