![:lumos](https://i.imgur.com/6QU1N5T.gif) Accio Arabella Figg! Time has unfrozen and you're back on the correct Side of the War. Day 1 is already on the verge of Day 2, with so much Game lying ahead! If you haven't done so already, please check out all the new threads in The Three Broomsticks (the official Welcome thread, Proboards for Trolls, Ominoculars), you Side Board (another Welcome thread) and especially your Diary Journal (Owl Post, Switch and Flick). Otherwise, go meet your Side Buddies! Then feel free to check back in and enlighten us on these points: 1. How do you think Day 0 went for you? Do you know much about how the other Pureblood vs Order pairings fared? 2. How are you finding Grimauld Place? Were you expecting this kind of setup? 3. What are your first impressions of your new Side Buddies? And what impression are you aiming to give them? 4. What influence do the PBvO pairs have on your Game now that they've all been split between the Sides? Do you expect the Owl Post or Flick and Switch twists to change that? 5. Finally, do you have indications yet of how a first Vote might go? How about any plans or longer-term strategies for surviving on this Side?

Heyy Peter Pettigrew I'm like actually really really sorry about this but I think I have to drop out of this game. It's like a really upsetting call to make because I was always set on playing whatever ORG you created next because the experience you created in ORG of the Rings was totally magical and I had utmost faith that you'd drop another banger. and this totally is already an incredible set up I've been going through a lot of life transitions lately and things have developed faster than I anticipated. basically for years I've been perpetually unemployed (and was such a tool that i didnt care to be anything otherwise), 3 time uni drop out spending my days doing jack shit in my parents house while bumming off centrelink. quite recently, after lowkey many, many months of introspection and detangling my own shit, I finally had the clarity of mind to pull up my socks and make some big changes - not only like moving out and legitimately looking for work, but mostly just wanting to create structure and routine in life, so that i can be the sort of person who can be reliable/committed and actually able to be a better friend/team player/person to people around me. Which is actually why I was totally cool with the idea of playing this ORG. I figured it'd be a fun hobby on top of things that still can provide some more external structure to force me to improve at time management - giving some sense of time constraints - still being something that I can put a lot of passion into and genuinely enjoy. which was a nice crutch to lean on in the lead up to this game cus i thought like "ah well at least no matter what soul sapping job i agree to doing, at least I'll have a banger of a time with Peteys org" but yeeeeah nah, I just cant muster the mental stamina to play a good game or a good Figg especially after today (first day on the job [friday was training]) - it wasnt bad or anything its just sapped me of all energy and i now realise that if im doing this mon-fri for the forseeable future i just like cant org at the same time lmao. At least not until I've built up some stamina, currently my brain and body are victims of years of atrophication from doing fuck all. like hell i used to be a non-stop confessional machine, unstoppable sender of spam messages just like lmao thinking back to much fckn energy i had in Hawaii to now is fckd. and the energy i do currently have i need to channel into ya know like life stuff, ya feel? yeh like i legit dunno how some of u superhumans out there do it. balance playing/making games and life stuff. im just like not there, and i dunno if i will be for like a long time ahaa

Arabella Figg We're not going to officially boot you until tomorrow if that's okay? And when we announce the Challenge results we'll tell everyone that you've left, and cancel the Magical Council for Grimauld Place. So if you could please refrain from PMing until then. And ideally check back in after a few days because there are some small things we need from the boots this season after they're eliminated.

In fact I can get you to deal with that stuff now if you like, so long as you promise not to go telling anyone still in the game.

Best of luck with work and life and love and light ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) You'll find your way back to ORGs, but find your feet first. We understand, and thanks for delivering what you did in the short time you had. You never told a single lie.

Arabella FiggEven though you've been eliminated from The ORG of the Phoenix, there are still ways for you to influence the Game! First, please bequeath your Wand to one of the players still in the game! You can choose anyone except for your Pureblood vs Order partner, and all you need to do is post their name below. At some point in the future players holding more Wands will have an advantage, so you should pick somebody who you'd like to see succeed in the Game. Once you have done this (and we've announced your tragic toxoplasmosis) we will give you access to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, where players suffering from Cancellation can catch up while watching the rest of the Game unfold. Secondly, we are going to have some Challenges coming up that you can participate in! One revolves around Cosplaying and Polyjuice Potions - if you'd like to participate (we certainly hope you will!) by impersonating one of the players still in the game, look over the instructions in St Mungo's once you arrive, and post your submission back here in this thread. There'll also be a Challenge you can help judge next Tuesday, May 10, and an endgame Challenge which we'll be opening up to everyone on Tuesday the 24th, which we'll give you more details about closer to the time. Thanks so much for playing! ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif)
