Congratulations on your first Immunity win! By now you're surely into the swing of things, and yet we only one round left before the weekend! ![:ha](http://storage.proboards.com/7158043/images/VOvCOHdjdczxDlacdwiV.png) But don't let us make presumptions, tell us how you're really feeling! 1. You've now prepared for two Magical Councils which did not need to occur. Did you have a plan in place, had the Challenge results gone the other way? 2. Describe the Side dynamics for us. What do you think your place is within Grimauld Place, and are you comfortable with that? 3. What plans do you have for this coming round? Are you also planning further ahead, or is it still too early for that? 4. Has there been any discussion of Hidden Immunity Items? How does holding one affect your Game moving forward? And how do you feel about the way you obtained it? 5. Are you surprised that we're yet to see anyone saved by a Switch Charm? Do you think it's likely one will be cast this round?

1. Less a plan and more a default. I think we're all still feeling our way through things and without any challenge performances or votes to go on it has been a bit of guesswork. Or people aren't telling me things.
2. I think I am probably in the top group at the moment. I thought my primary allegiance was going to be Fleur and Tonks but Lily approached me yesterday with the clue to an idol through Lucius and Crouch. She didn't have to do that but now that we have one, she is pretty much my number 1. Our group of four (Tonks/Fleur/Lily/myself) will still be pivotal to try and keep votes together and Diggle is off to the side of that, though he is closer to Fleur than I. I don't know what other allegiances Tonks has but Moody, Aberforth, Kingsley and Mundungus strike me as lone rangers for the minute. I'm still trying to get a feel for each of them to see how I can bring them into the game but they're already working with other people or they're not really interested. I am comfortable for now but I would like to build my circle in another direction to be sure.
3. Vote, challenge, send owl posts. It's still a bit early. I'm just hoping to solidify my position somewhat so I'm just trying to identify who that might be with. I get the impression I am in a different time zone to some players (Perth/overseas) which I find difficult as I'm here typing when I should be getting ready for work....
4. Only Lily and I have discussed idols due to the clue provided to Lily yesterday. Tonks drip fed a clue, I think, to make me feel like she was giving me something without giving me anything. The next day or two will prove interesting because Tonks has to 1) find a partner to reveal the clue to and 2) find that the idol has already been claimed. I would expect Tonks to call on Lily, Fleur or myself for that. I have no issues holding the idol. I would normally try to flush one out that I knew about but hopefully Lily keeps to her word and we can work on build a circle around us together. I feel good about the way I obtained it as Lily could have chosen anyone else for that.
5. Not really. Two eliminated themselves and the only person voted out hasn't been seen much from our side and I haven't seen much of his partner, Kingsley, on our side. I would expect it to start coming into play in another couple of rounds. If things go as I think they may, we'll likely lose people without partners to switch with for a couple of days.

Hi Oliver Wood! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts above. We hope you're enjoying yourself despite your unbridled optimism coming in ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Just want to alert you to a potential Rules breach - not yours! - which you've unfortunately become linked to. In your PM thread with Lily she told you that she'd edited a Wikipedia page, and after discussing it with the other Ministers we've decided that we cannot endorse that. We don't blame you at all in any way. But we do want to limit any potential encouragement of things like this, so we're asking you to please avoid mentioning it to anyone else. Thanks!

Sorry to keep tagging you Oliver Wood but we’re close to the deadline and Lucius may not be able to stay online for long. It’s great that you’re both bidding, but please refresh as frequently as you can to get this done super quickly.

Deadline is at 8:30 right? I'm not exactly going to sit here hitting F5 all night.

The tasks need to be completed by 8:30, not just the bids, and not everyone can hang around at all hours. You’re both online now, so should be able to knock it out in just a few minutes.

Right, ok. Let's see how ambitious Lucius gets then.

What happens if the winning bidder fails a challenge? Does the losing bidder win?

Probably not a good time to mention that I'm making dinner. I hope Lucius is using Menulog tonight.

Sorry, I should be more clear. What is the time limit for listing spells? Task three is ten minutes. Task one is five minutes. Task two is how many minutes?

Task two lasts from the time you conclude the bidding until 8:30. The spells need to be cast on your Side’s shared board.

Right. I guess those threads make a little more sense now.

Just letting you know that we've automatically given the point for Task 3 to Lucius because you posted a comment that was not allowed in that thread, after we warned you yesterday and also already edited out your extraneous comment when you Challenge Lucius in Task 2, before he saw it. I trust that it was an honest mistake... but please please please read the rules more carefully in future. Especially when they're that short ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png)
