So you want to be a wizard? So does everyone else who grew up alongside Harry Potter! One method to try this out is to sign up for an ORG of the Phoenix, but another is to roleplay as though you really were magical all along. Today, you shall get to do both!
In this Challenge you and your Pureblood vs Order partner will bid against each other for the opportunity to try out three roleplaying tasks. (Players without a PBvO partner playing the Challenge on the other Side will be randomly matched up.) As you keep bidding the tasks will become more difficult to complete, up until one of you claims the other is too much of a Fire-Breathing Chicken to tackle the task, and challenges them to try it out - the player challenged to do so will then need to attempt the task. If they succeed, they win the round. If they lose, the player who challenged them will win the round instead.
For instance, if the task was "How many posts can you make in your
Minerva says: "I can make 1 post in one minute."
Xenophilius says: "I can make 3 posts in one minute."
Minerva says: "I can make 4 posts in one minute."
Xenophilius says: "I can make 8 posts in one minute."
Minerva says: "Oh no you can't, you Fire-Breathing Chicken!"
Xenophilius says: "I can make 3 posts in one minute."
Minerva says: "I can make 4 posts in one minute."
Xenophilius says: "I can make 8 posts in one minute."
Minerva says: "Oh no you can't, you Fire-Breathing Chicken!"
Xenophilius would then need to to try out the task, and when he fails (for as Minerva knows, flood control forbids you from making more than one post every ten seconds) Minerva would win the round. Note that every bid must be greater than the last, but that players may increase upon each bid by as much or as little as they please. There is also a strict script which the players must follow in formally bidding for each task - in this case the players were only allowed to post either "I can make X posts in one minute," or "Oh no you can't, you Fire-Breathing Chicken!" and would have been disqualified from the Challenge had they dared any extraneous chatter.
The Ministers will be making the tasks visible to you and your partner shortly, each in a separate thread, and you may begin the bidding process for all of them as soon as you wish. Please read all the instructions carefully before bidding, and again before attempting the tasks. Please also try to engage in the bidding war as soon as possible so that the players challenged to complete the tasks will have ample time to do so.
There will be three tasks in total, and the player who wins at least two of the three rounds will win the Match for their Side. The Side with the most Match wins will earn Immunity and avoid Magical Council for the round. The Side with the fewest Match wins will lose the Challenge and will need to vote out one of their Side Buddies at Magical Council tomorrow night.
Both Sides will need to appoint a Side Prefect whose performance will break any ties (by number of rounds won, then overall sum of the numbers bid) and Grimauld Place will need to designate one player as a Spare to sit out. Please reach the decision about the Spare as soon as possible so that the Ministers can finalise the pairings for each Match and give everyone access to the tasks.
There are also House Points up for grabs again this Round. The pair whose combined bid totals are the highest overall will earn 10 House Points, and the pair whose combined bid totals are the lowest overall will earn 5 House Points.
All three tasks making up this Challenge must be completed by 8:30pm AEST tomorrow (Thursday).
Do not discuss the Challenge until after this deadline.

The Challenge results will be posted as quickly as possible. Players on the losing Side will be able to send Patronus Missives up until their Magical Council begins at 9:15pm AEST. Votes and the Switch/Flick decisions must be posted in by 9:30pm AEST. Please try to pre-vote and cast your Charms well in advance, just in case.
