Throughout The ORG of the Phoenix you will be able to put your spellcasting skills to good use by deciding to Switch or Flick every round.
Here's how it works:
- Each round you should make a post in this thread, casting one of the two special charms: Switch or Flick. For instance:
Episode 1 Decision | Day 3
SWITCH
SWITCH
If you post SWITCH, a magical contract will exist between you and your Pureblood vs Order partner during the round's vote. In the event that your partner is voted out from the Order Side, this contract will stop them from being eliminated from The ORG of the Phoenix. Instead, you and they will immediately switch Sides - the next round will begin with them joining the Death Eater, and you joining the Order Side.
If you post FLICK, your Pureblood vs Order partner will remain vulnerable to being voted out if they attend Magical Council, and eliminated from the Game for good.
To cast a charm:
- You need to post either SWITCH or FLICK in this thread before the voting deadline of 9:30pm AEST.
- You may post your decision for a new round in this thread as soon as the round begins. Usually this will be after the prior round's Magical Council, when the new round's Immunity Challenge is posted in the Hogwarts Grounds. You do not need to wait for the Challenge Results confirming which Side will be attending Magical Council.
- You may change your decision as many times as you wish before a round's voting deadline. As with your Magical Council votes, the final charm you post before the deadline passes will be taken as your final decision.
- If you fail to post a decision for the round in this thread before the round's voting deadline, you will be deemed to have cast the Flick charm.
Please also note the following stipulations:
- The Ministers will never reveal which charms you cast to any other player. Nobody will know what you post in this thread unless you tell, or unless your Switch charm does save a player from elimination, and you then switch Sides.
- You must be an active participant in the Switch and Flick twist in order to be saved by it. If your partner gets eliminated without posting a valid charm before the deadline in that round, they would leave the Game no matter which charm you decided to cast; if you get eliminated without posting a valid charm before the deadline, you will leave the game regardless of which charm your partner cast.
- Once somebody has already been saved from elimination by a Switch charm once, they cannot receive this protection again. If they are voted out again they will leave the game no matter which charm their partner decided to cast.
Finally, there are Ministry regulations restricting this special version of the Switch charm. You may cast it as many times as you like, but only up until it has saved a total of two players from elimination. From then on this Switch charm will be ineffective.
If you have any questions about the Switch and Flick twist, please ask the Ministers in this thread. It is also where you should post your decisions every round, starting with your charm for Round 1, which is due by 9:30pm on Tuesday 3 May.
