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

Sorry about that ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) We did intentionally split all the text between Thursday and today. And tomorrow will just be a Challenge.

Also I love how we somehow managed to do worse than if we had just guessed all of the answers

I think Day 0 went as well as it could have for me other than our absolutely tragic challenge performance :facepalm Crouchy and I seem to have settled into some good banter. He’s ever so earnest and endearing, bless his soul, he’s a Hufflepuff through and through (which isn’t a dig, better than being a Gryffindor ![:giggle](https://i.imgur.com/GdXDrBY.gif) ). And it’s good that we seem to be on the same page regarding how to navigate the blood vs water theme, and I’m glad I was more upfront about my motivations Despite his conspiracies we were split how I thought we would be. Which I’m thankful for, because I’m barely scraping together enough content for character interaction from the Harry Potter wikia as it is. This is my first time playing an org where people stay in character. I don’t mind it but it’s not something that plays to my strengths - I’ve always played orgs like I would play regular survivor - getting to know people, their lives and their interests. So taking that out doesn’t give me a whole lot to talk about - I have absolutely no idea how to even reply to Diggle’s messages. But at least I can connect with enough of the order members - what would I even say to Pyrites or Hedwig’s killer. The other reason why im glad I’m on the order Side is because I think the overplayers tend to self select themselves into the Deatheaters. Not that all of them would be like that, but the Hedwig’s Killers of the world. Not someone I’d want to be making small talk with In terms of my Side, it’s pretty quiet so far. Those who know me know I can rack up 4 pages of PMs with someone in the first hour. I don’t have time for that on nights so I should probably be grateful that the format is saving me from myself. So far the only people I’ve been able to form any connection with are Fleur and to a lesser extent Arabella In terms of Switch/Flick, I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t pick switch if you want to play to the BvW format. Sure I could lose a good position on my Side and have to deal with those Deatheater heathens but if I didn’t do so, I might as well just be playing any old survivor format org. Owl post is an interesting concept. Given I know nothing about the other death eaters and I can’t be guaranteed that they would even reply to me, there’s not much value in choosing a random death eater. I feel the best thing to do is to offer to other order members the opportunity to send a message to their partner and create a cross tribal alliance - kinda like the Taj/Stephen/Brendan/Sierra exile alliance that went absolutely nowhere Fleur seems to have the same idea and has just offered to do so for Crouch but I think it’s way too early. I can only use that option once and even before the first challenge I wouldn’t have anything useful to tell Crouch. I’d rather save it for a time when it could be strategically useful.

Peter Pettigrew are we doing the challenge as ourselves or in character? for example, if i had a death eater avatar, would I consider death eaters to be good, or am i answering as myself?

I realise, I guess what I was getting at was what was the intent of the challenge

The intent is that you match! if i had a death eater avatar, would I consider death eaters to be good, or am i answering as myself? You spent all of Day 0 with him - what would Barty do?
Or is Barty out there somewhere wistfully wondering WWLD...

Muggle business is keeping me occupied so I hope someone just tells me a name to write down soon.
I feel best with Fleur and Tonks and suggested that we call ourselves the Witches Coven which they both seemed to like. I just realised that we're actually the only three witches in the game - the squib who has been ignoring me for the past 22 hours despite being online recently doesn't count. Wood seems to be on board with working with us too which makes a nice four.
I'm very well aware that Fleur is running this entire Side. But I'm happy atm to just be her minion. You don't want to be the Regina George right now. The Cady Heron's of the world come at the Regina's of the world. You don't even want to be Gretchen Wieners or the snacky eye candy Aaron Samuels who will be used by Cady as her pawns in her war against Regina. Nah, right now I'm Karen Smith. No one looks at Karen Smith or sees her as a threat and that's the position I'd rather be.

Didn't you literally have this alliance in Chile?

We had a burn book alliance with Kate and Anneliese Which never amounted to anything cos I got swap screwed from both of my alliances ![:(](http://images.proboards.com/new/sad.png)
