![:lumos](https://i.imgur.com/6QU1N5T.gif) Accio Barty Crouch Jr! 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 Malfoy Manor? 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?

I will reply to these questions later, but just wanted to make a note that i am feeling disgusted with some of these meta jokes. I thought that it will be fun joking about torturing people and taking over the world, but after spending 2 months reading about real life tortures and tries of taking over the world - it's not as funny as i thought. I will go and take a shower from this :/

1. How do you think Day 0 went for you? Do you know much about how the other Pureblood vs Order pairings fared?
Hello! Day 0 was not bad, but could had been better. I got a nice conversation with Lily - going to trust hosts that they paired me with someone i trust and invest in my relationship with her. We s*cked at the challenge, but it didn't mattered much. I hadn't talked with other Death Eaters about their duo partners much. Except with Yaxley who mentioned that Diggle was cool.
2. How are you finding Malfoy Manor? Were you expecting this kind of setup? I got trigerred by the amount of murder/torture/purebloodism jokes, but i am doing them as well to fit in. I hope they will get away soon when people will start getting to know each other instead of the characters we play on. Yes, spliting us Death Eaters vs Order seems quite obvious, but of course i was overthinking to billions different possibilities.
3. What are your first impressions of your new Side Buddies? And what impression are you aiming to give them?
Yaxley seems cool and that one guy whose character was cut from the books... Pyrites? Pyrites seems cool too. I hope Malfoy will play in his character more to become kinda a leader/shield for me. I think i got on his good side, didn't i?
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?
I imagine once people on both sides gets to know couple people closer - we will be owl posting our partners on other side to get closer to the partner of our trusted person. That would be logical move for longterm. So we kinda might be pushed into alligning with unlikeable Side Buddies for a better long term situation? We will see.
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?
Pyrites and Hedwig's Killer got on a wrong foot to each other, but idk if it will be anough for them to go against each other. Too soon to say. We will see.
Cheers!

Ministers? Hello. Am i the only one who constantly gets the page crash messages? It gets annoying - you write a long message and you don't know if it will be sent or the page will crash and you'll need to home that pressing "back" would find that typed message :/

The angry bear has been popping in more frequently than usual, it is alarmed by the magic and acting out.
It can be a good idea to write messages/posts in notes app first, or get into the habit of ctrl+C'ing your messages before pressing send. Annoying, but it's a workaround.

Oh, at least it's not just happening for me, that means that house elves are already working to fix this. Thank you, Professor Umbridge!

For future reference, when a page crashes and you lose whatever you just tried to post (I have unreliable internet some time so it doesn't always take an angry bear) you should immediately duplicate the tab in your browser. Then once you're connected again (which you should check by opening a new tab and seeing if the forum is online), use one of your duplicated tabs to go back and see if the post you typed is still there. And if that doesn't work, hit refresh on the other duplicate tab and it should ask you to resubmit the form, and then post whatever it was you tried to submit. One of those two options should always work.
