![:lumos](https://i.imgur.com/6QU1N5T.gif) Accio Kingsley Shacklebolt! 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?

1. How do you think Day 0 went for you? Do you know much about how the other Pureblood vs Order pairings fared? Could have been better! ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png) Apparently Travers and I suck at guesstimating, but it's fine cause I don't think that challenge will have huge ripples of importance. It's too bad that Travers and I couldn't really get online at the same time for most of the weekend, but that might just be how it goes for me in this game. 2. How are you finding Grimauld Place? Were you expecting this kind of setup? Good vs Evil was the natural assumption for how things would be split up. I haven't gotten too much chatting in yet, but I hope to make do soon! 3. What are your first impressions of your new Side Buddies? And what impression are you aiming to give them? I'm aiming to give an impression of someone casual who's not taking things too seriously. I can't really do the whole essay thing, so I've found that it's best to just not set the bar high right out the gate. If people see me as short and cool then hopefully they'll adapt, and if not then it's not someone I'd want to work with anyways. By the time I DO have to bring out an essay, they'll know I mean business. 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? Right now I'm not worrying about it too much. Like I mentioned in the other thread, I don't know why everyone wouldn't just use Switch every round? There doesn't seem to be a limit to attempting it, just a limit on how many times it can successfully be used. So I am guessing we'll probably see it used up within the first couple rounds. 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? No long term strategies, just trying to be one cool cat and get in good with my people, see where that takes me!

Sorry I've been behind, they shut off my internet for renovations at home. I've been trying to stay on top of missives with mobile date and I've already used 20% of my monthly allowance in the first 2 days of May LOL! I'm camping out at Starbucks now to try to take care of things.

Yikes! ??? That sounds super frustrating to have to live through, especially while ORGing. Also you should definitely be looking into a better mobile data plan ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png)

I know I know it's been a mess, it was supposed to be done a month ago, but ain't that just my life. They SHOULD be done this Friday though, and I think we can plug in the internet again tonight, so it should be all good.
Now to conquer these PMs.

Reading over this challenge, and either my math is off or there's no real point to trying to chain Quaffles? When the score is the same, but the percentage for success goes down from 66% to 33%

I can't give anything away. But if we didn't think there was a point, we probably wouldn't include the option.

So I think I'm doing alright here, though not the greatest social star by any means. Australian games always kind of screw with my mind a bit, just cause the times when I'm used to talking it's like 2AM for Aussies, then when people show up I'm usually fast asleep. Though that's not entirely the case here, I definitely have noticed a few conversations are moving at an awkward pace just cause we're never online at the same time. I have a loose unofficial dealing with Fleur, Dede, and Moody who are pretty much my faves and the ones who are online when I am, so they're cool in my books! I know there's probably way more going on, and those three probably have their own dealings, but I'm not going to lose my mind over that. I think that overthinking and overplaying will just burn me out faster, and the better approach here is to just try to commit myself to the people I like and hope they feel the same way, and hopefully have enough reason to back me if I do get into trouble. Of course I'm not gonna shut out the others either, always pays to keep conversation going and remain adaptable.
I think we're looking at Fletch and Abe as early targets here, though I don't want to get tunnel vision blind on that idea either. It makes sense to ME personally and I am telling people that I just don't get the same level of conversation from those two. But I don't want to ignore the possibility that either one of them could have their defenders, so I am hoping to just get the conversations going, and if anyone has anything else to say, to follow that through and not just write them off. So far it hasn't happened yet, and maybe it won't even be a thing, I'm just saying if it is a thing...I want to end up on the right side of history, instead of totally blindsided because I thought we had a unanimous decision.
