Welcome to The ORG of the Phoenix Pyrites! 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?

Hello! Just letting you know I've logged in and ready to read up on everything. Wish me luck. I'm so fresh I didn't even know this was Blood vs Water oh boy haha. Hopefully I get Conner if he's playing.

Happy to have you here even if it took some ridiculous circumstances to make it happen. Like Pyrites, we were never entirely certain that you'd be part of the season canon ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Good luck with it all! Hopefully the Day Zero buffer is a bit of a soft landing for you, with some time to get your bearings before the insanity starts in earnest.

Yeah for sure, I quite like this. I can kinda take the time to figure out who I am. I've tried to do as much research as possible and there really isn't a whole lot out there about Pyrites. He's a death eater. Not sure what that is, but it seems to be a pretty significant thing in HP world. He is a servant of a bloke called Lord Voldemort. I've heard that name before, so he's gotta be a big character which I assume won't be in this game, but who knows.
The things that I found that I can work with are that Pyrites is described to be a "dandy". I assume he's fashionably on point and talks in a rather posh manner. My grandfather was born in England and talked with a posh English accent until the day he died, despite not having lived in England since the early 60's. So basically, I'm going to talk like my Grandpa haha.
Also, one of the things specifically mentioned about Pyrites was that he always wore white gloves, which were often stained red because of blood. I've been toying around with typing in red and saying I don't use ink to write, I use the blood of my enemies. Something like that. I like the idea of it, but a. I'm not sure if it entirely fits the character and b. I typed in different colours in my last game and people might be able to pick me because of it. I'll think about it.
As for your original questions, here we go.
1. First impressions, they haven't posted yet. So all good so far haha. I really wanna try to bond with them. I know it might be fun to think about just trying to blindside them or whatever, but it would be awesome to have someone to go over strategies with someone that you would trust more than usual.
2. The BvW twist will definitely throw a spanner in the works. I think because it is a rare thing in the ORG world, nearly everyone will embrace it and want to stay well connected with their partner.
3. I really have no idea at all. I have less idea of what to expect than anyone in the history of ORG's. Something to do with magic. Something to do with Harry Potter. Survivor format. Concocted by Peter/Peter/JustJaking.
4. I don't really have any expectations, other than just to have fun with it. I find myself having a better time when I just forget about trying to be a mastermind since I've learned that I'm not that lol and just have fun with the character side of things and try random shit.

For some reason my post came out Purplish and hard to see. Can I please have permission to edit my post to change the colour to red?

No edits, sorry. Think of it as a bloodstain that'll always be there for you to look back on and continually learn from.
And thanks for sharing all those thoughts! Just keep having a fun time and who know, maybe one day you'll accidentally enjoy yourself into being a mastermind too!

Don't worry about not being familiar with the source material. All you need to know is that you must not tell lies, Pyrites. ![](https://i.imgur.com/0iVaxFD.png)

Just a quick few thoughts.
Moody seems alright, bit of banter there which is good. Seems to be American given the times they are awake, so I'd say I probably don't know them. All good, made a new friend.
Being paired with a face while my character is a heel, my assumption is that the two tribes will be face vs heel. Makes sense.
I had a look at all the characters playing. I don't recognise any of the names. I did a little research on them, I don't really understand most of what is written though haha. I tried to find where to watch the films and not available for free anywhere which sucks. Oh well.

Had an alright time with Moody. The challenge was hard. I don't know if he's happy he's stuck with me. With some of the stuff I've said, I'm pretty sure he knows I've got no idea about Harry Potter haha. Didn't get to talk to him too much. But I don't think I would betray him.
As for the tribes coming up, I'm gonna have to make a good impression over the next day or so, because Monday nights are not really doable for me (same for Thursdays). Gonna need to get into inboxes early. Charm everyone with my extensive Harry Potter knowledge.
