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 Alecto 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 Figg'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?

1. Spill the tea. What was going to happen if Alecto 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?
To be honest. I'm not entirely sure. I was throwing Travers name around a bit because he is the least active with me, but it appears that others do not have the same view. HK and Black in particular seem to want to save Travers (based on what Black told me and what HK told my best buddy Crouch). I have npw backtracked on any suggestion that I want Travers our to HK and have told RAB that I am happy to follow HK's lead (which is RAB's plan to keep HK subdued). Honestly I don't buy it. I think there is something between HK, RAB, Travers and LeStrange. If that's the case then voting off Pyrites or Igor would seem insane. I am confident that Igor is with me and Crouch as is Yaxley. So if we take out Pyrites, we end up in a 4/4 stalemate. I think Crouch and I will need to think carefully about that if we go to MC
2. How does losing them impact the Side dynamics moving forward? Do you think Figg's absence will impact the other Side similarly?
I didn't have anything solid with Carrow but a lot of other people semmed to. So I am actually fairly happy she's gone. I do wish her well and very much hope she gets better soon. RAB was tight with Carrow so he lost two key allies in one moment. He has said that he wants to get closer to me as a result. Which I kind of believe but I am also very weary about his conneciton to HK
3. How did you feel the Matchical Thinking Challenge went? Did you learn anything from the results?
I learned nothing. As predicted Oliver is not a super fan (he doesn't seem to know what the Deathly Hallows are?) and I expect spent his time googling answers given he had so many unanswered. At least he got the horcrux one right though
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?
I am very pleased I did not get a letter this morning as it allowed me to get my first parchment which quickly turned into a second (from Yax) and a third (from Pyrites). I then got a duplicate from Igor and another from Travers. But ulimately finally got the last piece from Black. Which has led us to here being up super late to get this idol. But it has created a super tight bond with my bestie Crouch so it is worth it for sure. I am sending Lily (Crouch's partner) the full details of how to get the idol in owl post tomorrow and Crouch is telling Wood that I am doing that so they can connect together on this as well. Owl Post is huge and I am making it work for me!
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?
We should probably strike at HK noting the numbers above and that he's a huge threat. But I don't know if I actually want to pull that thread as yet.

I can't believe that its 2.30 in the morning and Barty just fucking disappeared at the last moment. If he's stolen my idol I'll never forgive him. Not just cause he stole it but because he kept me up to 2.30 am on a school night just to fuck me over. And the worst part is he could just say that he posted, and I post, and then he gets the idol and it doesn't work for me. Like that would suck. But at least I could just go to bed. If he doesn't fucking show up soon I will be so ropable about this.

For the sake of postarity, confirming that Barty showed up like 10 minutes after this and I got the idol so all is good in the hood.

Rankings
1 Crouch 2 Yaxley 3 Karkaroff 4 Pyrites 5 LeStrange 6 Black 7 HK 8 Travers
On this basis it is objectively obsurd that I would participate in a vote off Pyrites of tonight. I will need to discuss with Crouch.
The plan should be to gather up my boys (Crouch and Yax with our side boy Igor) and pull in Pyrites at the last minute.
But it just seems so fucking bold at this stage of the game and will disrupt relationships with RAB and LeStrange.

Peter Pettigrew Wood keeps posting things other than the betting words in the threads like that Seinfeld gif. I'm confused. Isn't that a DQ. It's says posting anything else is a DQ? That said I am on 4 hours sleep and am not thinking fully clearly so I may mistaken. If that's not a DQ can I send him a gif back?

Thanks for alerting me - as you can imagine I'm trying to do far too many things at once.
I've deleted the offending posts and asked Wood to be careful about what he posts. No disqualification though, as I believe it was an honest mistake rather than an attempt to communicate anything to you. And I had inadvertently encouraged and endorsed his error when I responded to one of his questions in there, having just followed the tag from my notifications without realising it was asked in the Floo Network rather than his confessional.
Please proceed with the bidding and the Challenge as normal from here.

Peter PettigrewI've responded to Wood now but he's not normally online much of the day. I appreciate he was online last night and I didn't respond much then but I did not sleep in as planned, my wife did not give me that luctury so I took the kids to school and went to work. So by end of MC I just had to go to bed. What happens if he doesn't come back?

Truthfully I'm not that familiar with the setup for this particular challenge concept and have to return from my lunch break in five minutes, so I can't give any immediate clarification unfortunately. However I do trust that Peter would have a solution for such a situation.

Ideally you can both find time to be online in the afternoon/evening to make sure you both have good opportunity to finish the tasks before the deadline. However if that's not possible for whatever reason, we won't put you in a position where one of you is stuck doing the challenge at the last moment. We trust that all the players will participate in good faith to make it work, but we won't penalise you if that can't happen.

Of course, don't worry about it! Real life comes first always, and we expect and support that.

Of course, don't worry about it! Real life comes first always, and we expect and support that. I appreciate your post in the main thead. Just want to let you know that I have a 6 and a 4 year old so I'm pretty much unavaliable between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm board time, other than checking my phone here and there. That's feeding time the zoo! Hopefully Oliver comes back in the next hour?

Peter Pettigrew Dolores UmbridgeCould you let Wood know I am under a time pressure here? 5 minutes between bids is not going to work for me if I am going to do this.
