Also some of your fucking accents are like hardcore mode difficulty for non-natives. Oliver Wood I felt like fucking Sherlock Holmes when I solved your "conversations" after several minutes of carefully reading them ALOUD to oonderstannae what you were fucking saying.. Also soooo many times I wanted to swear, but deleted "fucking" and wrote "bloody" instead to feel like the fucking Brit Diggle apparently is! When chatting with Martynas outside of this, it was the other way around, I wrote "BLOODY DIGGLE" instead of "FUCKING HELL", but noticed soon enough before sending the message. Of course I'm just joking here. The accents are a ton of joy for me (not Fleur's though, god that was awful when quoting on mobiles...)

I knew some of the sounds I was looking for and tried to Google them but it's bloody hard to convey through text. Many times I voiced my posts as I was writing them to try and get the flow correct. At one point, Crouch asked me not to use the accent close to deadline so he wouldn't misunderstand me ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

![](https://i.imgur.com/Q3kKSEu.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/Hxa4mV2.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/ruTIZPZ.png) \ (Also priority in the Gifts Challenge went according to when you joined the Member Group, not how quickly you posted your acceptance or rejection. Diggle beat you by a second, and Moody also got in just before you did.) \ Peter Pettigrew How was I supposed to discern this from the rules? The rules say: - To open a gift and see what is inside, simply join the relevant Member Group. However you must do so AT or AFTER its opening time. For instance, the '5pm Gift' Member Group should only be joined at or after 5:00:00pm board time. Anyone who joins any Member Group before the time in its name - even just a fraction of a second earlier - will not only miss out on the Gift, but also receive a steep penalty far beyond the scope of anything else built into this Challenge. Do not to do that! - Once you join a Member Group and open a gift, you can decide whether to accept it or reject it - simply make a post in your private Challenge thread saying the name/time of the Gift, followed by the word 'ACCEPT' or 'REJECT'. Like so: 6am Gift - REJECT - You must post a decision to either ACCEPT or REJECT each opened Gift before you are allowed to open any other Gifts. Once again, breaking this rule will be heavily penalised. - There is no time limit to open Gifts; in theory you could join all the Member Groups for all the Gifts shortly before the Challenge deadline, so long as you did it one at a time and accepted or rejected each one before opening the next. - Each Gift will be granted to the first player who accepts it. Also on the actual immunity idol it says: 'Individual Immunity! The first player to ACCEPT this Gift will be immune at their upcoming Magical Council.' Nowhere does it say that the first person to join the group will get the immunity. It clearly says, the first person to 'ACCEPT' the gift? What am I missing???

Looking back over the rules it does seem that I didn't make it explicit there. We went through a few different versions of how this would work, so it's perhaps not a surprise that some of the things I took as a given because I already understood the concept just didn't come across in the final version of the explanation.
However, if you read down a bit further to the part about how the Gifts get assigned you'll see it says that "If everybody who opens a Gift tries to reject it, the Gift will be granted to the last player who joined that Gift's Member Group, despite their attempt to reject it." With the focus on the sequence in which people joined the Member Group rather then the order in which they posted about rejecting. I think that's enough to at least raise a question about whether we'd work through the acceptances in the same manner, if not an outright presumption that we would.

I think that's enough to at least raise a question about whether we'd work through the acceptances in the same manner, if not an outright presumption that we would. I did see that. I assumed that that applied to rejected gifts only. Essentially meaning that joining a group was at your own risk, especially if some time after the deadline. I didn’t think that applied to accepted gifts. And that’s the only part which refers to member groups as being relevant for timing. And it’s the last one to join not the first.

Like I don’t want to go about this but under that ruling I could have joined every group when they became available and then work through all the gifts at the end of the day, accepting and rejecting as I saw fit.
The rule said I couldn’t accept or reject another gift until I had rejected or accepted the first one. It didn’t day I was prohibited from joining a group with an unaccepted gift.
It would have been a great strategy because I would have secured first shot at any gift I want (assuming I was first to join the group) and couldn’t be hit with the last to join the group chance at rejections. Maybe that was the desired intent and that was the best approach?
Anyway it doesn’t matter it’s not like I went home there and knowing Shaun he was probably quicker that 9 seconds to accept it anyway.

It's not a ruling, it's the set of rules we intended even if it wasn't as explicit in the explanation as it ought to have been.
The rule about accepting/rejecting a Gift was put in precisely so that what you're suggesting would not be possible - "before you are allowed to open any other Gifts" refers to when you join the Member Group. So the procedure was meant to be that you join one group, decide whether to accept/reject, then join another, which we did check for when we confirmed who got what Gift, such that anyone who tried to open Gifts before deciding what to do with ones already open would not have been eligible to receive those later Gifts (unless they were the last person to join those Groups, etc). The time between joining the Group and posting your decision impacted your ability to move on to the next Gift quickly, but if somebody opened a Gift and took longer to decide, they'd still be first in line for that particular Gift.

Yeah understood it’s not like I could have done much different. I was already joining the groups on the .00 but I guess my Adelaide lag fucked me. 😂

King Shaun's days were over though for most of the other challenges in this. Turns out Peter Pettigrew truly hates me. The way he purposely hid items in the AS Side maps for me to not find them. Seems he just knew me enough to perfectly design challenges specifically for me to not be able to solve any of them. Bloody ridiculous. I had my own challenge though with last second posts and missives. ![:)](http://images.proboards.com/new/smiley.png)
