Welcome to The ORG of the Phoenix Oliver Wood! The Ministry has weighed your wand and can now gladly return it, hoping that with it in hand you may do many great things here! As you fight for the fate of the Wizarding World, you may use this Diary Journal board to record your experiences, thoughts, ideas, notes, strategies, reactions or any number of other things as you see fit. It is a private place which nobody other than yourself and the Ministers can see (until the game is over), and any posts made here will not count toward the total post count on your profile. You should also use this area to play all of your Challenges, and to privately ask any questions you have for the Ministers. Speaking of which - we'll also be popping in at least once every episode to ask you questions and to pick your brain. Here are some to start you off: 1. First Impressions! What do you think of your partner so far? How is Day 0 going? 2. How do you think beginning this Game with a partner will impact the way it plays out? How important is the chance to earn a mutual ID reveal? 3. What do you expect will happen on Sunday night? What else do you think might lie ahead in The ORG of the Phoenix? 4. Do you have any goals for yourself in this game? Any hopes for how your journey here may play out?

1. First Impressions! What do you think of your partner so far? How is Day 0 going? Underwhelming. Apparently they have to wait for me to chat "proper" and there's not exactly going to be much to chat about. I've clearly misunderstood the "partner" aspect of this game. I expect a quiet weekend. 2. How do you think beginning this Game with a partner will impact the way it plays out? How important is the chance to earn a mutual ID reveal? I don't see how it would be important beyond knowing if your "partner" is someone you can or can't work with. I'm pretty easy going but that hasn't exactly helped me in previous games so the ball is Lucius' hands. I'm not holding my breath. 3. What do you expect will happen on Sunday night? What else do you think might lie ahead in The ORG of the Phoenix? Meet people, chat, get split into tribes. Usual Survivor stuff. 4. Do you have any goals for yourself in this game? Any hopes for how your journey here may play out? Stay alive? I've tried to help people in my first three games and show that I can be someone people can rely upon yet in two of those games I've been stabbed in the back and the other game it took me the best part of a week to gain some traction only to be stabbed in the back. It would be nice to find an ally I can work with but people don't seem to want that. Honestly, my last game has left me with more questions than answers so who knows. I don't expect to be around for long.

Just stopping by to wish you luck in this! ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) Part of the fun in adopting a new rep for a new game is leaving all the baggage from previous ORGs behind you. Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy a fresh start here and get that attitude turned around ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)

Can't say that I share your confidence but here's hoping I'm wrong.

Peter Pettigrew, are you asking questions everyday? Does this count as "posting in my confessional" (I feel that seems obvious but best to ask rather than assume)

Do not talk back or you'll be punished. Peter Pettigrew will have to confirm (or confirm that he won't confirm), but you may assume that to write is to write and any other specifications aren't mentioned on the scroll.

Punished? I think Malfoy is ahead of you in that regard, Delores.
Day minus one if you will and unless I've completely misunderstood what he's getting at, it seems he's not interested in working together. I don't particularly get a positive vibe from him so its no great loss but after my experiences in my last couple of games that would be just the kind of pick me up I need (I'm being sarcastic FWIW). Just one of these games I would like to find someone I can ACTUALLY rely on. My philosophy so far, which I'm getting the impression is unique and potentially crazy/unorthodox, is that you don't make it to the end of the game on your own. Of course, the winner of the last game I played did just that while I was stabbed in the back twice by the same person because I trust too easily. Frankly, I feel like it might be better to just lay low and not say much but that's not my style. I want to contribute, I want to help other people and I hope I can find people with similar attitudes that can help one another progress to the later stages of the game.
Still some water to go under the bridge tonight, I'm sure, but roll on tomorrow night.

So somehow I have gone from offending my partner to them being excited to work with me in a matter of hours. I have to take him at his word for now but it would be quite disappointing if he wasn't. My experiences to date playing these games don't leave me filled with confidence though. I don't know that we worked all that well together in the challenge. I guess we shall find out tomorrow.

Cheers. The house points thing comes in handy as it provides an incentive to regularly post thoughts about the game, which will no doubt make for more interesting reading at the end. I have just finished the Cluedo game where the host didn't ask any questions so I didn't feel the need to post my thoughts. I think the general assumption is that I might not have known what was happening around the traps and while I didn't know about some key issues (ie. the ones targeting me) I felt I had a pretty decent read on the game (eg. I was the one who called out Rusty/Daini as a threat within our own group. Just a shame that the two people I told were already secretly working together. Bastards ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) ) Anywho, let's see what today brings. Looking forward to tonight to start talking to more people but back-to-back games will be an interesting challenge. At least this one is in my time zone and I won't have to deal with study/exams!

Peter Pettigrew are we doing the Quidditch challenge ON the Random Balls board or in here?

Post by Peter Pettigrew on May 4, 2022 19:33:23 GMT 10
You'll do it in your Challenge thread (either start a new one for it, or continue from the last Challenge if you prefer) in your Diary Journal. The hidden board will simply give you the Trigger to post.

If this is me I hope you've all enjoyed Magical Council tonight. I've enjoyed this game but its a ton of work. Figured blow things up and if I survived there'd be cracks to slip into. Have fun!

Wood - Order, DP Lily - Order, DP Crouch - Deatheater, DP Yaxley - Deatheater, DP Diggle - Order, DOM Moody, Order, DOM Regulus - Deatheather, DOM
Order x 4 Deatheater x 3
DOM x 3 DP x 4
Unless the pairs stuck together, that vote makes no sense

I get the impression I play these games very differently to what people expect. Crouch thinking I would play my idol on Fleur, Yaxley telling Lily I suggested something that may work for him and thinking I'd flipped because I suggested we work with one of his other allies. Should be an interesting debrief. Looking forward to catching up with Lucius properly as I think he's a solid player and person.
