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? Please also talk us through what you were hoping to achieve with that sneaking vote for Lucius, and what effect it has had. 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? Without a PBvO partner there any longer, are they less relevant to you than your Side Buddies? 6. Between Pureblood vs Order, House Points, Switch and Flick, Owl Post, Matched Challenges, and potential Hidden Immunity Items... how are the Twists affecting the Game? How will they be impacting your decision-making moving forward?

I don't think I've ever dominated a challenge as much as I did tonight. I thought I bombed it, but actually stomped the frustrating Kingsley, which is satisfying after his annoying Owl. But also because I actually, for the first time ever destroyed someone in a challenge. Fantastic bidding. I was always going to win the spells challenge, could not believe he bid so low. I could have got 40+ just fine.
34 at a stretch, was always going to be my max at the wrock challenge and by jumping confidently up I goaded him out. The separate posts for that was my concern for that one. 35 lines in a single post would have been possible though. And the character maker was way easier than expected.
Seriously Pete, I have never won a challenge like that. I had myself convinced that I'd somehow flubbed it until the reveal

Hi Regulus Black, Just want to let you know that we've been following your chat with Barty today. And while it's sweet to see you connecting on a deeper level, please be super mindful of the ID rules and that the information you discuss about your IRL circumstances should not allow anybody to potentially confirm your ID. You know the drill; don't repeat anything too revealing here which you might have mentioned before to people in the ORG community, who could potentially be playing in this Game. I'm not accusing you of anything yet, just can sense that you're approaching the line and want you to please tread carefully.

Yep, I am aware. I actually was away from the org community when I worked for ambulance, so I never told anyone online about it. Ambulance service are pretty strict with not posting about the job online anywhere anyway, so I never posted about it anywhere until just now. Same goes for my current job, I haven't posted about it anywhere online. I figured that given that, I was in the clear to mention it. I don't know how many of these games I have left in me, so thought I'd cash in on those savings so to speak here and now.

Lucius is so exposed. My vote for him definitely accelerated this, but my reads certainly were spot on as far as who to stick the vote on in the first place. And I've got him exactly where I want him. The false message in the group with Lestrange was a step too far from Lucius, he obviously did that deliberately. He thinks I've removed him from my calculations, but no. What I can do right now is co-opt the majority and reshape the game by knocking out the big wigs if and when I so choose.

Oh man, if I leave tonight I couldn't really have done much more. I've covered my tracks and doubled back now to lock in the 'safe vote' as insurance. But if it is me, I will just blame the errant message to the Lucius & Lestrange chat. After that point, I've done fine, but sometimes just a single mistake can prove to be the difference

Lucius' paranoia is too much. You don't play an idol and expose yourself massively like that at the final 16. Dude, keep the idol for when you need it for yourself

I'm not really a threat here. Things are looking up for me, I think. I'll be playing from the bottom, but that's where I play my best. If I can sneak through a few rounds and end up at the merge, I can make final 6. And then it's anyone's game
