Your first full week in The ORG of the Phoenix is done! Congratulations for making it through to the weekend ![:kudo](http://i.imgur.com/haoRaBw.gif) Feel free to update us with your thoughts all weekend long as you see fit, but here are some question prompts to get you started: 1. How have you enjoyed your first week here? What moments stand out to you? What do you hope will perhaps be different next week? 2. What do you expect would have happened had Malfoy Manor lost Immunity today and voted for a second time? 3. Now that you've had more time to get to know your Side Buddies, who do you feel closest to? Please rank them all in order of how much you trust them. 4. If your Side needs to vote again on Sunday night, what would you like to see happen? What do you expect to see happen? 5. What do you know about the dynamics on the other Side? How do you think your PBvO partner is faring, and how do you expect your reunion to go if/when it occurs? 6. Between Pureblood vs Order, House Points, Switch and Flick, Owl Post, Matched Challenges, and Hidden Immunity Items... how are the Twists affecting the Game? How will they be impacting your decision-making moving forward?

Peter Pettigrew You'll get an essay some time over the weekend, but would you believe that I didn't intend to come into this and play as two timing, lying, scheming shit bag?

Peter Pettigrew Could I say in the challenge thread, we should make sure as a priority we ship the pairs of the two people that were our prefects, then our story teller then our man who told us all his favorite spells?

1. How have you enjoyed your first week here? What moments stand out to you? What do you hope will perhaps be different next week?
It's been a good week for me. A very good week really. I got the idol within 24 hours of it becoming avaliable as a result of some serious hustle. I am still pretty proud of myself for getting all four pieces, solving the background thing and then getting the Puffs done, and in doing so obtaining a true ride or die partner in Crouch and an idol. I started this game feeling really unsure of the dynamics of such an active Side. But I've taken every opportunity to improve my position. Once I had the idol I have spent the week sharing the 3Ps (parchments, passwords and puffs) with almost everyone on the Side to build connections and bonds and also so basically everyone has done the task so almost everyone is suspect as to who could have the idol. I felt that was important given my day 1 parchment trading.
Getting a random vote sucked, but I've used that to my advantage to build bonds particulary when Black accidently posted a message meant for Rudy in our group chat. That accident was a life saver for me as it really took the pressure off knowning that RAB and Rudy are worried about Yax, Crouch (and possibly me) having a secret group chat. Like they're right we do and they should be worried. But that confirmed to me that those two arn't working with Igor and HK, which was my concern. That said its possible that the message was deliberately sent in error to make me feel this way, but that wasn't the vibe I've got after the fact and if they are doing that, well that;s like a tier above my overplaying which is saying something.
Plus when the game is done, I actually probably need to thank the random voter because it made me paranoid enough to go all in on Igor (with Crouch's blessing). It took some work, but I believe we are also no. 1s. He's actually no. 2 sorry Igor, but I'm his 1. So no matter what happens I have locked down 4 votes in an 8 vote Side, which is all I need
2. What do you expect would have happened had Malfoy Manor lost Immunity today and voted for a second time?
Pyrites booted. No question.
3. Now that you've had more time to get to know your Side Buddies, who do you feel closest to? Please rank them all in order of how much you trust them.
1. Crouch 2. Igor 3. Yax 4. Black 5. Pyrites 6. HK 7. LeStrange
4. If your Side needs to vote again on Sunday night, what would you like to see happen? What do you expect to see happen?
LeStrange booted but I don't know if I could make that happen before Pyrites. LeStrange is a danger right now for if and when he can hook up with Fleur. I send the instructions of how to get the idol to Lily for her to work on it with Wood. Instead she clearly worked on it with Fleur, so Fleur likely knows one of me or Crouch as the idol both of which are going to engrage Rudy. I'd actually not be too bothered if we lost two challenges in a row so we could boot LeStrange.
5. What do you know about the dynamics on the other Side? How do you think your PBvO partner is faring, and how do you expect your reunion to go if/when it occurs?
Wood is going well. Seems hooked up with the alliance of Fleur, Lily and Diggle. However, my message to Fleur was that Wood should throw the challenge. Yet he pushed to the edge. 16 song lines, I reckon I just got it done under 5 minutes. 22 spells. Like Jesus it was the opposite of a throw, so maybe they aren't working together? Reunion should be good but there will be some tricks to it given the bonds we have made to date
6. Between Pureblood vs Order, House Points, Switch and Flick, Owl Post, Matched Challenges, and Hidden Immunity Items... how are the Twists affecting the Game? How will they be impacting your decision-making moving forward?
PBvO/Matched Challenges doesn't mean much to me except I win all the time because Wood isn't very good at challenges and/or can't follow rules. HPs, I've sort of given up as we are on 10. Can't believe Wood didn't do the Quidditch one. Hidden Immunity Items, I've got it and I love it like it was my very own green rignt of death. Which it is.

No ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Peter Pettigrew Could I say in the challenge thread, we should make sure as a priority we ship the pairs of the two people that were our prefects, then our story teller then our man who told us all his favorite spells? It seems to me this would amount to referencing other threads which only your Side can see, so also no.

Hi Lucius Malfoy, Just want to check in with you about the closed-ID Rules. For a few day's now you've been talking openly about your schedule and your wife which isn't necessarily an issue - but I had noted that I ought to chat with you post game, because it's the kind of thing that could cause somebody to guess your ID if you do it in another game too, when there might be somebody in that game who saw you saying the same things during this one. I know you haven't played too many games and so didn't consider it a problem yet, especially when your rep has a wife and for all the others know you could be playing in-character and mentioning Narcissa every time you have an IRL obligation. But today you've been mentioning your daughter's birthday in PMs. (On a personal not, happy birthday to her and I hope it was fun! But wearing my hosting hat...) This is a specific thing that could very well be used to work out who you are, if anyone playing this is connected to you or your social media outside of this game. I obviously can't confirm whether or not there's a risk of that in this particular cast - but from what I understand there are a number of people people in the ORG community who know you to various degrees outside of it. We take this kind of thing particularly seriously because it can severely impact the fairness of an ORG. In the most extreme cases you could have somebody seeking to avenge a slight from a past game, or friends reconnecting with a level of trust unavailable to any of the other players. And because we've built in a small amount of that for this game via the partners and the potential for a Mutual ID Reveal, it's even more important that we clamp down on anything that could compromise IDs beyond that. I know how natural it is to want to mention things like this as you build trust with players in an ORG, and how disingenuous it can feel to lie about it, especially when it was completely acceptable in Sicily while everybody was playing for the first time. But that's part of the reason why games with more experienced ORGers will feature more in-character play and hiding behind the reps, and it's why some of your Side Buddies talk about needing to attend to missions for the Dark Lord or whatever else, rather than getting too specific about their IRL circumstances. The Ministers are discussing whether this merits something more serious than a warning, and I'll get back to you on that soon. But either way please avoid mentioning this again, and try to be more mindful in your missives of the ID Rules and why they're so strict.

Okay sure. I hadn’t mentioned the daughter thing to any one on the main board and wasn’t going to. And I don’t think anyone knows I have kids on the main board.
I also haven’t posted anything about my daughters birthday on social media, although my wife may have and tagged me, having now checked Facebook (I don’t use it much myself). Honestly I didn’t even think about that as a thing as I basically never use or post on Facebook except. I only really have it for promoting my bands (which I have been really careful not to mention cause a number of people on the board know I am in one). I was only doing it to build connections and trust. And I recalled people doing similar things in Sicily so I didn’t think it would be s problem.
I apologize if this is breach of the rules. It was 100% an innocent attempt to build genuine connections by asking what they were doing over the weekend.
I am Facebook friends with very small number of people from the main board through Melbourne survivor, and I guess it’s possible that the people I mentioned it to in here are one and the same but that was absolutely not my intent.

I’ve just removed myself from the tag about the birthday on Facebook as well. I don’t know what my wife will say about that, but I’m really trying to fix this.
I’m sorry if this caused any problems.

I happy to send you a Facebook friend request so that you can genuinely see how little I post there. You can also see who I am friends with there and check if I have actually compromised anything? I’m so sorry for this

It's okay Lucius Malfoy. We trust this was accidental and not at all malicious. It's more just a question of precedent about how we approach something like this. You can keep sending missives for now.
