Well that was quite the unconventional start to things! Hopefully now we can build up an actual routine, and maybe even a Vote ![8-)](http://images.proboards.com/new/cool.png) Some questions for 'ya: 1. Spill the tea. What was going to happen if Figg hadn't needed to leave the Game? Or if you'd had to vote somebody out even after she left? How did these plans come about? 2. How does losing them impact the Side dynamics moving forward? Do you think Alecto's absence will impact the other Side similarly? 3. How did you feel the Matchical Thinking Challenge went? Did you learn anything from the results? 4. Any thoughts about the Owl Post system now that you've had a chance to try it out? How about the Switch and Flick Charms, after more time to reflect on what they can do? 5. If your Side attends Magical Council tomorrow night, what would you like to see happen? What are you doing to help push the Side toward that outcome?

The tea is a lukewarm tea I'm afraid. With Figg leaving the game the name to write on the parchment became the lazy thief Mundungus Fletcher.
There's some slightly warmer tea though, Peter. And that is that Wood is emerging as a strong leader, being I believe the most active member. I like the lad but he seems to be close with Tonks and Lily who I feel lukewarm about. They're not bad exactly, they're just not as interesting or forthcoming as say Fleur, Mad-Eye, or Diggle.
The even warmer tea is that I'm 90% sure of the true identity of my partner, just based purely on the amount of questions asked.
So I no longer care much about house points which is a relief because I'm downright awful at challenges anyway. I'm also fine to just flick my partner away and be seen as more of a free agent rather than go over to Malfoy's Manor where I'd have to do a lot of talking to get myself out of that mess.
My dream scenario would be losing the challenge after this one and gathering forces to move against Tonks or Lily. Is this the wisest decision? Probably not. But I have thrown out subtle hints and will hold myself back from saying more. So that if anyone else were to consider it they'd at least know I have a chance at being on board.

So much warmth ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) Why Tonks or Lily? And do you expect anyone in particular to also be considering such a move?

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO POST THE TRIGGER IMAGE HELP
IF I POST IN THE CHALLENGE THREAD AND IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PLACE EVERYONE WILL KNOW THAT I SUCK AND VOTE ME OUT BECAUSE I'M OLD

In other news, I've had a long day and I'm about to get a bit tipsy
This was such a nice challenge too I'm sad I didn't figure it out
*SNIP*
Hopefully no one figures out that I didn't do the challenge

We'd prefer it if you didn't speculate about ID Aberforth Dumbledore, even in confessional, as per the Rules & Expectations thread. We're trying to restrain the culture of ID guessing so that people aren't tempted to let their ID speculation influence the way they treat other players in-game. Which could lead to all kinds of unfair outcomes such as players attempting to target one another for slights in previous games, or working together based on out-of-game bonds when other players don't have the same opportunity. And of course all such speculation could be completely wrong, making such outcomes even more absurd. Far better that everyone just treat one another based on what they see in this game only. Given how the preference lists worked for partners, we're being particularly strict with all the ID stuff for this season. You'll notice that the other Ministers are even Closed-ID as well.

Noted, sorry I'm not great at reading comprehension. Blame it on my old age.
I tend to treat everyone differently each game anyway so I'll hold myself to that and make no assumptions
