Nymphadora Tonks Hedwig's Killer Lucius Malfoy Fleur DelacourWe've told you before that we'd like you to get involved in an endgame Challenge if you can, and the time is nearly upon us! Here's what I can tell you right now: - Part of the Challenge will be raising real money for real charity ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) in the spirit of the HP fandom's willingness to organise and support charitable causes. - The players will be competing in this Challenge for Immunity, but we're also opening another bracket of it for the Cancelled/Wizengamot/Gallery/Ministers to join in and to raise as much money as possible. - We have a prize for whoever manages to raise the most money out of everyone in this bracket: a Giftar with moving fire behind you, like the players receive while they are Immune. This one will be permanent however, and make you stand out forever on this board ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) If enough people play we can probably get a Giftar to the winner from each one of those four groups, and if you want other prizes we can potentially negotiate for those too ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) - The Challenge will be active from 9:45pm Tuesday AEST (board time) until 8:30pm Wednesday AEST, and you'll be able to contribute as much time as you want/can between these hours. If you think you'll be able to join in, let me know in this thread! We won't turn away anybody who rocks up in the middle of it and wants to play, but it'll be easier for you (and for us) if we know you're interested and can set things up for you in advance.

To participate in this Challenge and help raise money for two different charities: 1. Go to www.freerice.com2. If you're asked for your birthdate, ignore this (just click 'okay' to today's date). 3. Click the log-in button at the top-right of your screen and use the details I'll send to you in PM. (If you haven't asked for one already, post in this thread and I'll set you up with a login as soon as I can.) 4. Begin playing the game! You'll be given a word and asked to identify its meaning from among four options. The words will ramp up in difficulty as you keep playing. 5. Every question you answer correctly sponsors 10 grains of rice for the United Nations World Food Programme, to support its work saving and changing lives around the world. The Final Four will be trying to earn as much rice as they can within an hour, but you guys have all day! Or at least until the Challenge deadline of 8:30pm Wednesday. Play as little or as much as you want/can! And free to return intermittently throughout the day - it's simple, addictive, and every click counts ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png) After the deadline we'll also be making an equivalent donation to Fandom Forward, in honour of the ORG of the Phoenix. Originally named the 'HP Alliance', they're the largest charity set up by and for the HP fandom. The name change was intended as a break from the series' author, as the charity actively support causes that help (among many others) the marginalised populations who have been targeted by She Who Must Not Be Named. We have set up your account as a 'student' to our 'teacher' and we will be able to monitor your progress. Do not fiddle with any of the account/site settings. If you want to see the progress of all the Cancelled/Wizengamot/Gallery/Ministers you can click on the ≡ symbol in the top-left corner, then click on 'Groups', follow the prompts to the 'ORG of the Phoenix' group and then click the 'Stats' tab. The players are in separate groups so they can't see one another's scores. TL;DR - The more we all play, the more money gets donated to two very worthy causes ![:fan](https://i.imgur.com/074wyXd.gif) Plus you get to test and hone your vocabulary at the same time, and maybe win a wonderful Giftar. It's a win-win-win, even aside from that Immunity thing which is also happening ![:ha](http://storage.proboards.com/7158043/images/VOvCOHdjdczxDlacdwiV.png) Thanks for supporting The ORG of the Phoenix and helping us to leave a mark by making a real difference, even beyond our own community Enjoy, and good luck!
