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: Day 2, Tuesday 3 May To: Hedwig's Killer From: Kingsley Shacklebot
To Hedwig's Killer,
You disgust me. To take the life of an innocent bird is one of the most unforgiveable acts that can come to mind, and mark my words it will not go unpunished! What's more, you choose to wear this gruesome event as a title, foregoing even a name itself? Utterly despicable, you clearly have no shame and any smidge of compassion that I could have mustered has fled the coop. Be warned, Killer, I am coming for you and will bring down the full force of Shackleboot judgement to wipe your cancerous stain off of this godforsaken plane.
Sincerely yours,
Kingslay Shackleboot

Date: Day 3, Wednesday 4 May To: Regulus Black From: Kinglsy Shackleboot
To R.A.B,
Oh I've found my people very tolerable, Black, surely far more so than the bunch of scoundrels and rats you've got on your side. You're lucky I'm all the way over here, and can't apply some good old fashioned Shackleboot justice with my wand and fists. Our time will come, Reggie, you know, I know, it's only a matter of time before these lines fall apart and we're left to meet mono el mono!
I will not be giving away any trade secrets of the Order, but that's mostly because there's no much to give LOL! I believe we are experiencing very much the same sorts of situations. We had a late arrival who might have been in danger, but then again people were starting to notice that Figg had stopped responding, so even without the quit this may have come to pass all the same. Other than that it's just a lot of greetings and trying to keep up my visibility as a showmancing manbo on the prowl. This will be the season of KINGSLAY baby!
You can tell Travers that I'm sorry for fucking up on the Match Game. Goes to show that no matter how simple a challenge may sound, I should NOT be attempting them on my phone. Whoops lesson learned.
Enjoy your villainy while it lasts, Black.
Yours Truly,
Shackleboot

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: 4, Thursday 5, May to: Pyrites From: Kinglsy Shacklebolt
To Pyrites,
I have no idea who you are, but you surely know who I am! Kinglsey Shackleboot, also known as your DOOM because I will be there to drag your sorry tush off to Azkabam when the time is right. And the time will be right very, very soon, Pyrites. I have been chucking away bad guys like yourself for a long, long time, and just because we may be on separate teams, doesn't mean that you'll be safe forever. One day the walls will drop, and when that day comes, you'll face the full wrath of Kinglsay Shackleboot!
I don't really know what to put in these Owl Messages honestly, and I don't really have time to scrawl something together, so you'll just have to put up with whatever I can come up with here. I'm sure you'd love to hear all sorts of scandalous details from the Grimauld Guild but the truth is that there are NONE! It's all just kumbaya and love over here, so if you're looking for some sort of crack, you can forget all about it!
I must ask, did my partner go inactive or what!? Codgy old fool, he should have known that he was never going to outlast my might, but now I'm stuck wondering...what comes next? I'm a man without a frenemy to feud with, and it's left me feeling somewhat adrift. I suppose that just means more of my energy can go towards thwarting the rest of you!
Till next time
Kingslay Shackleboot

Day 6, Monday 9, May to: Regulus Black From: Kinglsy Shackleboot
To R.A.B.,
Thought you'd heard the last of me, huh!? Guess again, Reggie, Kingslay Shackleboot is still on the case and I've got my eye on you! I suppose I would begrudgingly tip my hat to you--if I had one mind you, instead this bald glorious head must remain in full view of the world--for besting me in the Fire Breathing Chicken Challenge. You're welcome for lowballing those dares hahahaha! And for completely overlooking a rule and getting myself disqualified. You've won the battle, but not the War, Reggie, and I've got plenty more tricks coming your way!
I guess the might of the game was too much for Travers and he asked to be voted out? Spare himself the shame of Kingslay Shackleboot taking him back to Azkaban more like it! The rest of you should do the same, it's not a bad idea at all. I'll be making short work of your Death Eaters here, I'll tell you that right now! They're going to be cowering, begging for Momma once I'm through with them.
I'm sure you'll be having a fabulous old time at your new home though. I've heard that Pyrites hardly ever messages, and that is the exact same for Fletcher, so you might have hit the gold mine over there. I'll be rolling up my sleeves and cracking rocks to find gold myself over here though. I must admit, I'm already pleased with the discussions with Yaxley, he seems like a bright fellow who might just be able to spare himself a lifetime of torment. We'll see.
Take care of yourself, Regulus, and remember...I'm coming for you!
Signed
Kingslay Shackleboot

Day 7, Tuesday 10, May to: Mad Eye Moody From: Kinglsay Shacklebot
Moody my Mad Cop, good luck over there! Hope you're doing alright. Looks like you guys got things a bit more to your advantage with the way the split worked out. I've heard that Pyrites was basically set to go if not for a random idol play and bout of paranoia, so I hope that things remain straightforward for you guys.
It's a bit more awkward over here, and I know I'm coming in with a bit of a disadvantage, but I'm working my tailfeathers off. There does seem to be a bit of tension between the Purebloods but I'm not sure if they're willing to crumble just yet. I think Wood and I could both be in a bit of trouble if someone doesn't take the leap of faith first. Not sure what's going to happen to be quite honest, but trying to make something I can work with to get me out of this phase.
Sorry I don't have too much to say, but just wanted to let you know that your Glad Cop is staying Glad even in less predictable times and I hope we get the chance to hit the streets side by side again soon!
Your Pal,
Kingslay Shackleboot

Day 8, Wednesday 11, May to: Headwig's Killer From: Kingslay
Don't think you've gotten away from me just yet. I'll grant you this reprieve from my justice while I take care of matters on the other side of town, but mark my words, you haven't escaped the watchful eyes and dutiful wand of Kingslay Shackleboot!
So, sorry for just up and fleeing the coop. I appreciate all that you were doing to try to make it work, I think you were the main one really giving me anything to work with, and it's been noted. If we cross paths again soon, you can count on this King to remember and return the favor. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling confident that it would have ended well with the King. Karkaroff and Crouch were definitely avoiding giving me anything at all to go off of. I'd tried directing the conversation to the vote and they just gave me "I hope we win." I know Lily was always closer to Wood as well, and probably would have nudged Crouch to support a Kingslay boot to keep her buddy around. Obviously I would have put in the work still, had I stayed, and I do think maybe we could have made something happen, but I figured I might be better off just taking a crack at the other side. Hopefully I don't live to regret it...or you not, STOP living and regret it.
Have fun with Pyrites, good luck over there!
Yours Truly,
Kingslay Shackleboot

Day 9, Thursday May 12, To: Yaxley From: kingslay
Yaxley, thanks for checking in! I do feel a bit rotten for having to up and leave you guys just like that after all we discussed. Mark my words, if I had felt like things could have worked out for me I would have stuck it around and put in the legwork to keep things going well for us. And for what it's worth, I do feel like you and HK were being serious with me and if possible we could have come together there. I originally did put down Flick, but I reflected on the situation and felt like there was a very good chance that if we went to Council I would be the one going. Lily and Wood knew the situation and would probably vote me out of self preservation, I think Barty would likely have favored what Lily wanted over keeping me. And then Igor I just wasn't making any headway with. I figured I was better off taking a shot at predicting the Mysteries and just regrouping with some sympathetic friends from the start. We'll see how that pans out for me, I hope i get the chance to reconnect with you though and maybe with some better circumstances things can work out a little more steady. Lucius is telling me that people are still tossing around my name here, though I think I should have a little more room to breathe. I'm not blind to the fact that I can't just go single lane traffic with the original division though, so I do hope between my friendship with Diggs and what we discussed, there'll be room for us to work something out come Merge. Best of luck in this dreaded double, rooting for ya!

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.
