Welcome to the Owlery! Here you can send and receive letters from other players who are too far away to contact via a Patronus Missive. Here's how it works: - Once every day, you may write one letter to a player of your choice from the opposing Side. These letters will be delivered with breakfast, as is traditional. - Due to an unfortunate exclusivity clause in our Floo Contracts, you can never send a letter to your Pureblood vs Order partner. - You also cannot send your letters to the same player twice in a row, because Owls get easily bored of repeating the same flight paths. - There is a weight limit for all letters, as many of our Owls are small and overworked. Therefore letters which are longer than 2000 characters shall not be delivered. You can check the length of your letter at wordcounter.net/character-count which uses some strange Muggle magic to approximate parchment length and weight. - Once you post a letter in this thread, we will begin processing it immediately and accept no other letter in its place for the current round. Not even if you spot a typo. The deadline for Owl Post is exactly 12 hours apart from the Challenge deadlines. To send a letter you must post it in this thread before 8:30am AEST, and the Owls will deliver any letters addressed to you soon afterward (within an hour, if not immediately). Because much of magical law and order would collapse without the creatures' cooperation, the Owls have more bargaining power than any union of Muggle postmen and have demanded ORG weekends off - so there shall be no Owl Post on Friday or Saturday. The Owls have also been on an extended strike vacation since late last year, so the starting date for Owl Post in The ORG of the Phoenix has been set for this Tuesday 3 May. Thus, your first Owl Post letters must be posted in this thread before 8:30am AEST this Tuesday. Please use the following format when you post your letters: Note that the date, sender and recipient at the beginning of the letter will not count toward the character limit. If you have any questions about how the Owl Post system works, the Ministers shall gladly answer them for you here. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy the full service of the Owl Post system each day. And do take care not to upset any of the Owls!

Date: 05/03/2022, Tuesday. Day 3. i think. To: Lily Potter From: Barty Crouch Jr. Hello dear Lily! I hope this letter finds you, as we have some maniacs killing owls around. How are you enjoying the start of this adventure? Things are getting intense here, don't they? I just wanted to let you know that I of course am going use SWITCH option every round, in case something horrible happens on your side. Talking about your side, is here someone you feel particularly close with? So that i would know whose partners I need to get close to here? I feel the most comfortable with Malfoy and Yaxley, Idk if their partners are any good for you? Some people are really into that killing/torturing/pureblood roleplay, i am trying to fit there, but i am not sure if I am successful at it. For a long term, i guess it would be amazing if we manage to bond with people from the same couples, but for a short term, we should care about our own survival. So if there's anyone you feel comfortable working with on your side, just let me know and i'll try my best to connect with on my side. (how many times had i used phrase "on x side?" ![:D](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) But if my mentioned people's partners aren't available for you to work with - no big deal, just try to do what you have to survive. First TC is always the scariest one. We didn't performed well in opening challenge, did we? Had you been able to figure out what the bottom 6 lines in House points Picture are? I think top one from them might say "Willingly take part in a twist", but besides that - hard to tell. I hope 4th from the bottom is not "Receive votes in TC!" The most we can do at this stage is to make sure that we wrote in our journal every round... Once Again, i hope you are doing well. Let's survive and reunite ASAP! Cheers! Long lost cousin, Barty Crouch Jr. To make hosts job easier - there's 1800 characters above this line.

This isn't a valid letter for the Owl Post system. - Due to an unfortunate exclusivity clause in our Floo Contracts, you can never send a letter to your Pureblood vs Order partner.
Because it's round one, we'll be nice and let you write a different one rather than simply not delivering it.

Date: 05/03/2022, Tuesday. Day 3. To: Nymphadora Tonks From: Barty Crouch Jr.
Tonks! Big Fan! your metamorphmagus skills reminds me of my experience with Polyjuice Elixir! I hope you are enjoying your adventure here?
I know you might be surprised about getting a message from me, but... I am very sorry to inform you about this, but Hedwig's Killer asked me to tell you that they despises you. In HK vocabulary it might mean the biggest love sign to you, idk you know them better!
How are things on that Grim Old Place? Anyone annoys you in particular?
As said before, i hope you are enjoying this adventure, and at some point, we will be able to chat more! Cheers!

Date: 05/04/2022, Wednesday. Day 4. To: Oliver Wood From: Barty Crouch Jr. Dear Mr. Wood, I am writing to you with sincere... Joy and Excitement! Our buddy Mr. Malfoy told me only the greatest things about you, and he said he is pleased you knew that his favourite Horcrux is Riddle's Diary. He is sending an Owl to my cousin Lily. You might be talking with her about these owls, if so, please tell her that Barty says "hi"! and that I apologise for not knowing her Patronus... She might tell you something too ![;)](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png) I hope you and Lily had chosen to watch each other's back? If not, give her a chance, please! I hope you are enjoying this adventure? Well, of course you enjoy it, as today is the Quidditch day! Please don't hurt us too much in the challenge! Mr. Yaxley said that he enjoyed writing to you yesterday, and just wanted to say hi again! Also i waited till the last minute to check if Rodolphus wants to answer anything to your yesterday's message, but he is probably sleeping. I am sure he appreciated your letter! Once again, i hope you are enjoying this adventure, and i hope that at some point we will be able to share the adventure! Cheers! Barty Crouch Jr

A flock of owls fly overhead, and not a single one lands in front of you. Still hopeful, you wait and wait... but eventually every owls departs and still you have nothing. Then on the way out of the Great Hall, a scrap of parchment on the floor catches your eye...

Hosts, hello!
do you count this part in the characters count?
"Date: Day 3, Tuesday 3 May To: Rita Skeeter From: Xenophilius Lovegood" or since you don't send it - it doesn't count for characters too?
also, as i will be sending 2 letters, does it matter if i post them in one post or two?

We do not count that part for the character count.
Up to you how you post them, just make sure it's clear what should be sent to whom.

Date: 05/05/2022, Thursday. Day 5. Main Owl To: Fleur Delacour From: Barty Crouch Jr. Madame Delacour-Weasley! Firstly, I wanted to say that I am SO SO Sorry for not replying to you sooner! I had already made promises to send an owl to Mr. Wood for day 2! Secondly, Your Owl on day 1 made me so happy! I was not even aware of how great they can be! I simply asked in Side's thread if anyone wants me to send anything to their partners, and took 1st request! I was happy to hear that you enjoy Lily, as i consider Rodolphus to be really great person too! He asked me to tell that he gopes you are doing alright on your side. Also we are working on an idol clue. We found this page bit.ly/37z8quI and the password is the name of whoever created the background to the forum. That's not Chapet. Please tell Lily that Barty will want a rematch of that Quidditch game! How are you enjoying this adventure so far? Kicking our ass in the challenge is enjoyfull of course! I hope you aren't too mad about me failing to reply yesterday, if you are - I will try my best to redeem myself if we meet in the game! Also, idk how close you are with Kingsley, but i hope he is not mad that Travers was voted out? it was a situation where he volunteered to be the vote, as he had some issues irl. Do you think the Side swap happens soon? Making it before the weekend would make sense, giving new tribes some time to know each other! Hahaha, I am asking all these questions without a way for you to reply ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png) Feel free to see them as rhetorical questions to rethink all days and see if you have fun and what you expect to happen in the future ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png) Once again, i hope you are doing well, and I hope we will be able to chat soon! Cheers Barty Crouch Jr.

Date: 05/05/2022, Thursday. Day 5. Extra Owl To: Dedalus Diggle From: Barty Crouch Jr. Dear Mr. Diggle! I am hearing so many nice things about you, that I can't believe i hadn't messaged you yet! Your buddy Yaxley seems to be real pleasure to talk to, even with his messed up memory! He wanted to tell you "Hullo" and he hopes that you are alrigh'. He is also wondering why you sent Rodolphus something nobody could read? (personally, idk what he is talking about as i was not involved in that reading ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cheesy.png) And Also Yaxley is surpeised that 1st book is your favorite one. he thought it's nobody's favorite! How are you enjoying this adventure? Beating our asses in the challenge makes it much more enjoyable i guess? I hope Kingsley is not mad at us for voting his friend? It was a situation where Travers literally volunteered to go, as they got some issues irl... How is Lily doing? Can you tell her that i will need a rematch in that Quidditch game one day? So Close! I hope you are enjoying this and we will have an opportunity to chat more soon! Cheers! Barty Crouch Jr.

Date: 05/06/2022, Friday. Day 6. To: Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody From: Barty Crouch Jr.
Alastor! Long time no talk!
Please forgive me for not replying to you sooner! just a bunch of people here was asking me to message their friends on your side. I was like "NO, I NEED TO REPLY TO MAD-EYE!" And these people kept threatening me that "message my friend, or you are next!", but today i decided to say "screw them, i have to write to Moody!"
The Eye must be getting old! It used to stick to one location too often too! And that's super uncomfortable in school, where you need that eye working 24/7 - trying to avoid seeing anything inappropriate. You should go to it's creator ans ask for a refund! Or a new eye. How have you been since we last saw each other? I got used giving you a haircut, if we meet in this game i might give you another! If you want one of course. What happened to your box of tricks? I know it's like second home to you now, but if by some unknown reasons it gives you bad memories - i am more than happy to take it from you!
I have asked Pyrites if he wants to tell you anything, but he didn't came back online in time, so I am just assuming he says "hi" and wishes you all the best!
How are things on Grim Old Place? I hope Lily aren't too annoying? If she is, ignore her! if she's not annoying, please tell her that Barty says hi and wishes her a great weekend!
Please use gloves while reading this letter, i am feeling a little sick last few days, don't want to send any viruses via owl!
take care of OUR eye, and OUR Box of tricks! hopefully we'll be able to talk more soon! Cheers
Barty Crouch Jr. aka Fake Moody!
