I will be going on vacation for 3 weeks. I won't have internet access during that time. So instead of postponing the game, I have found a replacement host. She will be continue on the game for me. What she says goes, and arragements have been made for the remainder of the game.
Now, it's time to announce the replacement host. That person is...
None other than... SUSAN BONES!
Thank you all for your time. I'll try to check in from time to time whenever I get hold of a computer and internet. But if the game ends before I get the chance to pop in, I want to thank you all for a great season and a great series, it's been lots of fun. And I wish everyone the best of luck!

I have to say that I respect Susan, but its a poor decision by the host to have her take over the administrative duties of the board. Susan is not impartial to the happenings of the game and what has occured in the past. She now has full access to confessionals as well as having friends on the jury that will ultimately decide the winner of the game. It's especially unwise to allow her administrative duties when she is an active participant in the current challenge. Sorry JK, totally lost respect for you on that decision.

Sorry Susan and JK, but Kara has some good points. I have to agree. This could have been planned better or a co host with no ties to the game could have been found.
I will have to seriously consider if I even want to continue with my part in this game. Jack may have a point.

I think its pretty clear from JK's actions that she has decided to disassociate herelf from this game after rigging the game to make sure that Voldemort and Sarah make the final 2. It's absurd to take a player who was 1 spot away from making the jury and thrust them into a replacement hosting position in a rigged game like this and expect her to clean up your mess but I'm sure Susan will be much more fair than JK ever was.

Eh, I think you guys are taking this a little out of hand.
I know that Susan was close with Jk and they talk on aim alot, I would trust Susan with alot I dont think shes the type of person that would use in game stuff against anyone.
Ive seen several games where prejurors would become housecalls, its nothing to freak out about..god..its not like shes a jury member.

Wow. it is actually me who lacks respect of people I call friends saying I can not act without personal judgement. First of all, My only duty is to copy and paste challenges from her already created boards, and to tally votes. I can account for every vote casts and have in no way even tried to sway the jury members on this issue. As to the previous Challenge. I would like you to read where I had PREVIOUSLY created a boot list and I could care less what is in your confessionals unless it pertains to the end of this game.
As to you Harry you have been a prefect in JK series and you know she preplans the entire game out. And Jack, I dont know the details of what happened but like I told you, I have respect for JK decision and how she made them.
Oh and just so you know, I have only read 1 persons confessional prior to this point and it had nothing to do with the future of this game. I am insulted that people I call friends don't think I am judge fairly. As for the last challenge, there were eight votes cast and they were all revealed. If you don't like how the game is layed out, or don't like me then leave. JK is away on a trip OUT OF THE COUNTRY, and she needed a last minute host, and as I am tryin to host my own game in a few weeks it was a nice tester for me. I feel I have been fair to everyone left. If you don't like it then I don't know any of you at all.

I trust Susan 100% to take over for JK. She left a bootlist for this last challenge and yes she has access to Confessionals but she would NEVER look at them and try to ruin the game.

And if I was going to rig Challenge 17 I prolly would have made it so who I wanted to go home went. I dont have to justify myself but here is my bootlist which was clearly posted before JK gave me any control over the boards.  |

Look Susan, I said I respected you. I did not respect the decision of the host. I don't care who you are, if you need a replacement host...it should be someone from outside the game, period.
