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: 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 Death Eater 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 Order Side, and you joining the Death Eater 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.

Pussying out of the reckless stupid decision already, shame. Might not even be a vote, but if Pyrites can't survive a R1, he doesn't deserve to live.

A Switch Charm Update!
Now that the Sides have been redrawn and some Pureblood vs Order partners find themselves on the same Side, we are expanding the scope of the Switch Charms for all players. From now on, if you choose to cast a Switch Charm, you must also choose whom you wish to cast it upon. Simply post the name of a player on the other Side along with your Switch Charm, like so: If a player is voted out from the other Side the same round that you cast a Switch Charm upon them, they will be spared from elimination and both of you will Switch sides instead. On the other hand, casting the Flick Charm will essentially be giving the Flick to all the players on the other side - FLICK is now an active choice to save none of them. In the event that multiple players have cast a Switch Charm upon the player voted out in a given round, the Ministers will randomly select just one of the Switch Charm casters to actually switch Sides with them. (Unless one of the Switch Charm casters was their Pureblood vs Order partner, in which case they will automatically be the one to Switch, without any random draw.) When a player is saved by the Switch Charm, the Ministers will never confirm whether a random draw was or was not required, or which other players might have been involved. All the other rules and deadlines remain unchanged, including the fact that no player may be spared from elimination by a Switch Charm twice - therefore casting a Switch Charm upon a player who has already been spared in a prior round will have no effect.

Peter Pettigrew I got a question. Since I'm pairless, if I cast "Flick", will that be useless? Or will it "flick" away my unpair and randomly assign me a person and leave someone else unpaired?

Can I get back to you in a few hours on this? I know that's annoying with the deadline looming but I'd prefer to confer with the other Ministers before answering. Basically I know what the intent was when I wrote the post, but looking back over the wording I happened to use I'm not sure it matches. And I don't want to contradict something I posted as official Rules for everyone. So I need somebody more objective to confirm whether the best interpretation of the writeup is indeed what I think it ought to be. If that makes sense.

Take your time - you've given us an extra 12 hours anyways! (thank fuck)

Thanks for waiting on this Yes, you can use a Flick Charm. You'd then draw a new partner and the 'nobody' you're currently 'paired' with would trade places with them, leaving the partner of the drawn player unpaired instead of you.

After lots of consideration and also re-reading the rules on how the Switch charm is limited...
NO CHARM CAST.
