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!

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...

Date: Day 8, Sunday 8 May To: Barty Crouch JR From: Fleur Delacour
Cher monsieur Crouch,
I was so 'appy tò réceive your lettér and I wantéd tò get back tò you immédiately becàuse there's a lot tò tèll you. First, merci beacoup for the adresse tò the 'idden board. I shared it with Lily right away and she tòld me that monsieur Yaxley 'ad given 'er the pàssword tò entér it. If you did thiz on pùrpose tò see if we actúally work tògethér it was pretty smart. Lily méntioned that according tò monsieur Yaxley you 'adn't been able tò figure out the next step of the pùzzle so I càn tèll you that if you Google Puffs Potter Wikipedia and go tò the wébsite you'll see that there are 6 additionel charactérs listed undér Sally Perks. These are the 7 names that you need tò pòst in your journal. I'm sure that you 'ave figured it out by now bùt just in càse I wanted tò share this information.
Second, I régret tò inform you that we were too late tò get the idol so now we are a bit cònfused abôut who might 'ave it. I 'ope it won't end up biting us in our derrières latér bût if you 'ave any information abôut who else might 'ave shared information between tèams that would be éxtremely 'elpful. I am pretty certain that monsieur Diggle doesn't 'ave it (I also asked 'im diréctly) but othérwise I 'ave no idéa.
Third, we 'ave been speculáting on this side betwéen myself, Lily, Oliver and monsieur Diggle that yourself and messieurs Yaxley, Malfoy, Lestrange and Karkaroff may be getting along pàrticularly well on your side? We are basing this on the amôunt of lettérs that we keep réceiving from you 5? The same càn définitely be said abôut us 4 and I 'ope I'm not béing too diréct bût I 'ope that we càn all be friends for a long tìme tò còme. Lily in pàrticular còntinues tò be my favorite on this side.
I'm running out of space so I 'ave tò wrap thiz up, I'll just say that I 'ope you càn give my régards tò messieurs Yaxley and Malfoy as I also owe them lettérs, and tò monsieur Lestrange of còurse as well. Untìl next tìme!
affectueuses pensées, Fleur

Date: Day 9, Monday 9 May To: Lily Potter From: Fleur Delacour
Cher Lily,
I'm writìng tò you with a 'eavy 'eart. Losing monsieur Lestrange so súddenly 'as left me a bit empty inside and unsure of my pòsition in the game. I'm writìng tò you as you are my closest ally and there's a lot I wantéd tò tèll you immédiately. Monsieur Malfoy 'as been tèlling me a lot about what 'appened in last night's magic còuncil, and I'm sure that you will be able tò 'ear this from Monsieur Crouch and othérs as well, bût in short, as monsieur Malfoy tòld me:
There was an alliance of 7 that was súpposed tò vote out monsieur Pyrites, but then monsieur Malfoy 'eard from monsieur Karkaroff that there was a còuntér alliance betwéen 'edwig's killer, monsieur Lestrange, monsieur Black and monsieur Karkaroff (monsieur Karkaroff sold thiz out) so monsieur Malfoy, Karkaroff and Pyrites agreed tò vote for monsieur Lestrange and monsieur Malfoy played an idol on monsieur Pyrites (appàrently messieurs Malfoy and Pyrites 'ad worked for it tògether). Pèrsonally I don't bélieve monsieur Malfoy ever agréed on monsieur Pyrites góing 'ome so there iz something abôut this that I find éxtremely stránge bût this is 'is vérsion of what 'appened.
Also, I am not éntirely còmfortable with this Side becàuse of messieurs Moody and Diggle being the twò pèople that we 'ad còncerns with and I am 'oping that I càn keep them working with me and Tonks to make sure we still 'ave the numbérs, bût thanks tò the update on 'ow the switch spell works, I am thinking that we might want tò try tò tàke advantage of it góing forward? So I am thinking of using it on you just tò be safe becàuse I cànnot lose you too. (Also there is some chance that our side might be voting for monsieur Black or monsieur Fletcher and I would love it if you còuld Switch with them but that is maybe a bit too devious tò do so early without 'aving a proper chance tò tàlk about it back and forth).
Bisous à bientôt, Fleur

Date: Day 10, Tuesday 10 May To: Igor Karkaroff From: Fleur Delacour
Cher monsieur Karkaroff,
I'm writing tò you tò thank you for your lettér from yestérday and I áppreciate you giving me some more insight intò what 'appened. Monsieur Malfoy says that there was an alliance of 5 and another group of 4 that you and monsieur Lestrange were a pàrt of bût that you tòld monsieur Malfoy abôut which made 'im feel like 'e 'ad tò make a move against monsieur Lestrange. 'e also says that it was your idéa tò go aftér monsieur Lestrange as it was the only targét you would 'ave agreed tò vote for; so all thiz is making me a bit confusé. The rift betwéen monsieur Black and monsieur Malfoy is indéed qùite obvious and I would appréciate some more insights intò it bût I undérstand if you cànnot tèll me much.
Qùite a few of us seem tò be scared of angéring someone on your side by "voting wrong", which I find qùite ridicúlous. You may be able tò undérstand my frustrátion as you no longér 'ave a pàrtner éither so maybe you are also féeling a little bit more free tò play your own game? Pérsonally I am mostly scáred abôut being an eazy targét at some pòint becàuse of not 'aving anyone; which is anothér réason why I wantéd to réach out tò you. I would like tò know 'ow you see our situation in térms of not 'aving pàrtners anymore?
I 'ope tò be able tò tàlk tò you more closely in the future as well.
Bien amicalement, Fleur

Date: Day 11, Wednesday 11 May To: Lily Potter From: Fleur Delacour Cher Lily, I was réally 'appy tò réceive your lettér as I also réceived monsieur Karkaroff's lettér that day. Bût please tèll Oliver tò not write tò me unless 'e 'as something actúally important tò say as I want those idol clúes smh Speaking of which, I 'ave two of them that I got from monsieur Malfoy and monsieur Moody that I want tò share with you: i.imgur.com/e2J5DE2.png and i.imgur.com/kyuSXe3.png Pleaze use them wisely. I'm góing tò qùickly résponse tò your qùestions from your prévious lettér. I am 'onestly still not 'appy abôut monsieur Lestrange góing 'ome, bût please don't share that with too many pèople. I would be 'appy with Pyrites góing 'ome for good becàuse I bélieve 'e is still firmly in monsieur Malfoy's pòcket even though monsieur Malfoy votéd for 'im (we didn't réally give 'im a choice); so gettìng rid of 'im would tàke some pòwer awáy from monsieur Malfoy (also please don't share that I tòld you this, although I don't think you would anyway <3 ) Also I 'ope you won't be in a worse pòsition now that monsieur Shacklebolt Switched t ribes. I 'eard from a còuple of pèople from yestérday that appàrently 'ad you lost the vote would 'ave been betwéen monsieur Shacklebolt and Olivé r so I wasn't too s´rprised tò see monsieur Shacklebolt join us. Also I júst wantéd tò say that I appréciate you tèlling me abôut what 'appened with the idol and it won't change 'ow I feel abôut you at all (although I do wish you would tèll me who 'as it. Tonks claims that it's not 'er so is it monsieur Moody then. I am working with both and even if they 'ave it, it won't change my féelings at all) <3 À bientôt! Bizoux, Fleur

Congratulations once again on reaching the Merge! We were ready to shut down Owl Post now that there is only one Side and everyone is well within reach of your Patronus Missives, but apparently we still have more time remaining on our contract with the Owls. And now they're eager to keep working? With consistent hours? ![::)](http://images.proboards.com/new/rolleyes.gif) We don't pretend to understand how their birdbrains work. But we don't have much of a choice in the matter. Therefore, will be repurposing our Owleries. From now on, you may send Owl Post each morning to the Gallery of portraits lurking in the walls, and to the Cancelled players gathered in St Mungos. They can't influence your Game at all, but they're also interested in it. And while they can't read your regular Diary Journal entries, this is your chance to entertain them directly with the inside scoop... or not; it's entirely up to you. The only restriction is that unlike your relative freedom on this sub-board, your letter cannot include anything relating to your ID, or your PBvO partner's. We guarantee that nothing you send in Owl Post will get back to any players still in the Game, or to the Wizengamot. The character limit is being halved to a 1000 character maximum, but the deadline to submit Owl Post is still 8:30am, starting again on Sunday. The owls are pleased with this arrangement, and while your participation is by no means compulsory, we hope that you will also continue to enjoy their services. Doing so regularly is in the interests of both our collective entertainment and the Ministry's legal liability.
