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. When and how did Aberforth become the consensus target? Was it a development you were pleased to see? 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?

As you can tell by my challenge post, it's my 7th night shift (and 12th overall shift) in a row and I am way too sleep deprived and delirious to be coherent so this is gonna be short and I might flesh it out more over the weekend. But faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarkkkk I hate the PBvO mechanic so much! And by hate, I mean you really nailed the impact on the game, especially when combined with that pesky Owl system. I know I said I wanted to stop being OTTN5 and to play like a MOR3 instead but the last couple of days has ensured ol' Lily is going down in messy messy flames. I may have gone down in visibility from a 5 to a 3 but I'm gonna end up cranking up the OTTN I didn't want to be playing a particularly deceitful game and in normal orgs I would have just given up finding the HII and be happy for an ally to find it. But no.... Crouch et. al have put it on themselves by making it impossible for me to protect them while managing my relationships, and in particular information control. It was one thing to tell Oliver and I how to get the HII, and I was content to let him have it, but NOOOOOOOOOOO they told Yaxley who told me to tell Diggs, and then Crouch tells Fleur. So now literally half the Side knows about it, and it won't be long before they suspect that I have it - I have all the downsides of a HII (threat perception) with none of the upsides (possession and safety) ![>:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/superangry.png) THIS. IS. WHY. HIDDEN. IMMUNITY. ITEMS. ARE. MEANT. TO. STAY. HIDDEN! It won't be long before Tonks finds out too - she already has no trust in me, and this alliance is gonna collapse faster than a Sabalenka second serve

Oh no, the thing we made impossible to keep secret is leaking out!? ![:giggle](https://i.imgur.com/GdXDrBY.gif) Once you've caught up on sleep (and well done for getting through the week between the night shifts and this!) do please elaborate on what you mean when you talk about the relationships you're managing and the protection you're trying to off some of the Death Eathers. What exactly is the conflict there, and what is it causing you to do?

I think it's more that the entire Order (sans Dung) knows about the HII now and it's impossible to keep up with the information control of who/when/what.
I was working with Fleur/Tonks/Wood from the start, and was then looking to bring in Wood/Diggs in keeping with the Yaxley/Malfoy/Crouch alliance but Diggs is 100% not trustworthy. Barely a few hours after I brought him in on the HII, he threw me under the bus by spilling to Moody who spilled to Fleur.
I shouldn't be surprised, it's perfectly logical for Diggs/Moody to have aligned from the start too but I think it was a poor choice cos I suspect Moody has been working really closely with Fleur and would throw Diggs under the bus to her in a heartbeat.
The really awful thing about this is I assume our partners on DeathEater island have used the idol clues to bring their alliance together whereas the nature of the owlposts and inability to coordinate this has only caused paranoia in our Order and I think everyone has come out of it trusting each other less.
The only person on our Order who I trust atm is Oliver, but I'm not sure if he's super reliable/rational even if he's well intentioned. I have the most reliable working relationship with Fleur but she's definitely too good to fully trust and has done a way too good of a job at cultivating her options on the Order.
I'm almost certain that Dung is going at this vote but I thought I'd interject some paranoia into my Owl with Malfoy just in case it encourages Malfoy/Crouch to play switch if they hadn't already been doing so. I think a blindside would be highly unlikely as Fleur/Diggs and to a lesser extent Tonks wouldn't want to upset their partners on the other side by blindsiding Oliver/I just to flush an idol out

FML Oliver in the group chat with Diggs :facepalm
I really just can’t … does this guy not read anything or have any tact? Or just you know, the common sense to hash anything confusing in missives before unloading in a group chat
I regret just not being happy to be Fleur’s lil bitch and doing whatever she says because it’s easier than trying to play with Oliver
