Welcome to The ORG of the Phoenix Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody! 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?

I can't believe I haven't read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. What's wrong with me? I've decided to quit the game to just read that now, thanks.
I also haven't read any of the rules yet, just saw this notification, so I'll answer the questions when I feel like it.

1. I love HP but that love does NOT extend to JK or the fandom, so I had to look up who the fuck Pyrites even was. Someone who was ALMOST in the books but too irrelevant to make it? And a dandy to boot? Ugh. At least he's here and active. And it's a fun contrast for grizzled ol' Mad Eye to be partnered up with a pansy bitch who wears white gloves he likes to splatter with Rorschach blood spots.
2. I like having this weekend to ease into the boards and only meet my partner. I assumed we'd be on separate tribes to start, but since one of the ID point things is voting together, it'll be interesting to see how often that opportunity presents itself. I'm not super fussed about the partner ID reveal, though. I hope some pair finds out they actually hate each other, that'd be the best way for this twist to work. My partner could be literally anyone.
3. To assume is to make an ass out of u and me. I'll be asleep Sunday night. I'll answer this better when I've thought about it more.
4. About a month ago my friend told me he didn't like to talk about HP with me anymore because the discussion always turns into how She Who Must Not Be Named sucks and is retroactively ruining my childhood. That made me feel bad, so I've been actively working on just focusing on my love for the series. I think this game is a great chance for that, so I'm just going to go 100% in on the character role play and just immersing myself in this wonderful wizarding world. Doing well or winning would be some icing on the cake, but I'm here to disassociate from real life and play this to have a good time, not a stressful one.

I essentially quit preparing for this Game for a week to read it too, so can't really knock you for it ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Hope you're able to enjoy this experience and that it'll help to move beyond everything with the author. Certainly one of my goals in this (and one reason the Phoenix appealed as a name) is to set her to the side but still bring the fandom to life and celebrate the joy of loving the world and impact of the series.

Yeah, gotta say I like the choice of using all these fan fic av sources and what not. Happy this ended up working out so I could play. Been pretty easy to get into the Mad Eye style, I think, and the Day 0 weekend is adding anticipation for the full start.

No shit? Aww, thanks Dung. Guess it helps to be straight up and slightly condescending? Not that I know what this is for, lol, but gifts are good.

The Aussie I'm most likely to know to be in this is FDR. And I know he was Aragorn in the ORG of the Rings cuz he wouldn't fucking shut up about it in the Stranded discord server (and I looked at the cast reveal there to see who I recognized lol). If he IS in this, I'd think he's Malfoy or even HK, but probably not anyone else? And I KNOW Malfoy is Australian cuz he says fucking "arvo".
I also think it's posssssssssible that Lily could be Melanie? Melanie was in 12 Daze as Yukon and the styles just seem super similar. Plus I love Melanie, and I loved Lily, so, that's what I've got.
No other guesses. I'm expecting not to have played with half these people, considering this is my first proboards ORGy game and I'm used to playing live rounds. But the live rounds in Gaga's games don't suck for Australian time zones (depending on your job), so who knows?
