Thank you for this response. I really value the honesty and your openess to see things from my side. I too now can see things from your side.
I think our brains work differently, in terms of how we think. This is going to make it harder for us to communicate at times. BUT it could be a huge asset in this game for us. I am not an ORG God my any means. I make mistakes in these things all the time. I try to learn from them but its hard to drop bad habbits some times. If you and I actually can talk things through and explain our honest perpectives like we have above, then I think we are going to destroy this game. I'd rather have a partner who thinks differently that me and can keep me in check and grounded when I actually am spinning off the planet (which I will absolutely do at some point) than an echo chamber of cascading angry ideas.
You may be the very person I need to actually play a good game in one of these things. Someone to ground me when I'm just trying to make B!g M0veZ for the sake of them.
I tell you one thing though. When I am truely loyal to someone in one of these games, then I am loyal to them to the end. That has cost me before. But that's fine. I'd rather stay true to myself in that scenario than win some game on the internet.
Do you still want to do the challenge now?

1. First Impressions! What do you think of your partner so far? How is Day 0 going? Um. the answer for both is they fucking suck, Wood and my Day 0. My feelings on Woody are pretty clear above. I was really looking forward to this ORG and having a partner to play with and navigate the game together. That initial post of his was shit. But I was going to let that slide and then that subsequent blow up. I know my headspace is fucked from that FTC with Brunette but what even were his posts?
2. How do you think beginning this Game with a partner will impact the way it plays out? How important is the chance to earn a mutual ID reveal? Well I thought it was going to be an amazing experience to have a true confidant to stick with and work with and share everything with and I am really fucking disappoitned that this has how it has turrned out. I don't think the ID reveal matters other than when your partner thinks your trying to fucking shalf them in the game for some reason when you ask them the verys same question. Are you trying to shalf me Wormtail. Perhaps you are given the partner you assigned me.
3. What do you expect will happen on Sunday night? What else do you think might lie ahead in The ORG of the Phoenix? Ideally we get sorted into seperate tribes and Wood is first boot from the other Side so I can be a free agent and join some other pair of people that know how to actually fucking communicate with people.
4. Do you have any goals for yourself in this game? Any hopes for how your journey here may play out? My hopes? My dream scenario? I got two words for ya! Natalie Anderson.

Oh my god. He read my post and then just fucking left.
We had agreed to do the challenge at this time and he's now just fucked right off. I have a family and kids (I know he doesn't know that) but I arranged that time for a reason.
Seriously. Fuck this guy.

I've decided to have it out with Wood. I'm already tired of his bullshit so I'm being upfront about it.
His response will determine if want to even bother with this guy.
If it sucks like his other posts, I'll have to work out how I throw my partner under the bus to someone else and have them actually believe it. That said, if we are split into other tribes, with his social skills I expect he's gone week 1 anyway.

Okay, I want to start a new thread because I want to start fresh here with you. But first I need to clear the air.
Straight up, I have not been in the best head space over the last few days for personal reasons so I'm probably reading more that I should into some of your posts, but it seems that we are really on different wavelengths.
I want to work with you to the end. You are the partner assigned to be based on a list of people I gave Wormtail. I am the same for you. I am super excited to play this game with a partner. I think its going to be a really interesting twist to the whole ORG survivor format.
But this partnership won't work if we are not honest with each other so I am going to be blunt as you were before.
1. I put a decent amount of effort into constructing a nice welcome message for you when you arrived. Which you then responded with 'Why would you do that to yourself and boy do you have some qusestions?' I don't know, maybe you hate the role play shtick thing? Regardless that was a really weird way to greet your partner. You never even really responded as to what you meant either? I know you said something about forgetting the fomat or something. But what do you think I had done?
I was just going to let that slide but then:
2. I simply asked if you really care about finding out if we want to know each others IDs. And yes I did misread the parchment, but the point I was making also was that we are not just going to play an advantage on the other to get HPs. We will play an advantage to save one another, absolutely. But not to get HPs. Likewise we may find that there is a benefit to us voting differently as an agreed strategy on a vote but that means we don't get HPs. Do we care? My view is no, we do the best moves to further out position in the game, not to get HPs. But I was hoping to have that discussion with you and get your view. That's what I meant by a 'proper chat'. I wanted to get your thoughts on how you want to play this game so we could compare ideas and strategies so that we understand each others approaches.
Then you sort of completely blew up at me. Look as I said, my headspace is not the best, so I might have read that wrong, but it felt like an attack. Why would I not want to work with you? We are partners in this. Through and through. What possible reason could I have for not wanting to work with you? And then that statement 'You've [me] got to sort out my own thoughts' like I'm some looney lovegood who is spinning off this planet because I asked if we care about IDs. And the added part about 'how I've got to sort them before we worry about the challenge' like we're so far apart or I'm so shady or some shit, that we can't even do the challenge properly.
And then you're giving me the benefit of the doubt. Like why do I need the benefit of the doubt. All I did was ask about if we care about IDs. I gave you the benfit of the doubt when your opening post to me was less that welcoming.
I think we need a fresh start here. I could have kept this shit bottled up but that would have been toxic for our relationship so better to get it out.
Given the above, I presume I've some how pissed you off equally, so feel free to unload with that as well.

Maybe I’m just Uber reactive because I was just in one of the most brutal vitriolic FTCs over the last 24 hours and everything feels like an attack.
Or maybe Wood sucks.
Like I don’t understand why he’s even here as a rep as I asked you about when I got my letter. You said he argued strongly for it noting he was at the battle of hogwarts and you reluctantly accepted. But then he doesn’t know shit about Wood. Like he just found out he was Scottish FFS? Why did he want this fucking random rep so bad if he knows nothing about him.
I was really looking forward to meeting my partner as well. Bleh.

I was only talking about not getting points for points same just to find out who each other is. I have no problem playing advantages on allies, which obviously includes you.

Jesus, who have you stuck me with here Peter? Wood has all the social graces of a rain cloud. This is the second borderline unnecessary hostile message he’s sent me in two days.
I feel like I’m going to better off letting this guy be Racheled out so I can Tyson this thing.

Woah calm down.
I misread the parchment okay. Jesus. I thought that there was one thing where you got points by sacrificing your vote. I don’t know why I thought that.
What the hell was that reaction. I was clearly talking about sticking together but just not caring about the IDs.

I will answer these quesitons later tonight.
I just finished the Cluedo org. I did not expect to get to FTC there and be playing these back to back. But you know me Peter, I can't do anything half arsed so expect myto see my full arese here and hanging out from tomorrow night. Unfortunately 'the Crack' may be the peak moment of my ORG career. It will be difficult to top, but I won't be able to help but try.

Hey Wood
Sorry I've been a bit absent. Has been a busy day.
That sounds like a great idea. THe scottish thing plus the quidditch should be a good bit of role play for a day or two until people get settled in the real thing and just playing the game.
Still good for 8 pm EST? We can flesh out the plan for the challenge before getting started.
I also wanted to discuss something with you? How much to we care about finding out who each other is? Asking because some of the ways to obtain house points, require a level of game sacrifice and I really don't need to know that badly. I'm just gonna trust that if I put you in a list of people I want to play with and you did the same with me, that we obviously get on well and like each other and will commit to that. If we find out, down the track, great. But I don't think we should make any sacrifices for house points for that purpose.

Well that clears it up. Thanks

I reckon if either of us were Voldemort your response would be quite different. Surely Lucius is on your side at least? Wormtail is on everyone's side... WT. Will our pairs be secret or known?

Very nice!
So in every pic there’s going to be two things to count. Given the time limit the best strat has got to be that I count one and you the other. We can even agree in advance that you count the first thing and me the second do we don’t need to waste time assigning. But when we post our answers we say 2 teeth / 6 whiskers as an example just in case someone gets confused in the pressure and counts the wrong thing.
What do you think?

Have you ever played a game where you have to count the number of squares in a grid? 20 minutes to get through six of those doesn't sound like much of a challenge though so perhaps its not that. There an example in the challenge thread. Looks like it’s more counting things like the teeth in the picture.

Probably getting close to the line to mention any.
The keys going to be time management more than anything.
Is say 8 pm EST okay for you?
Are you good with all those triggers and stuff? We should have one person who is taking that role.

Look at 8A of the rules and expectations. It indicates that people will be voted out after day 0. Could just be a drafting quirk but I think we should take the challenge seriously regardless.
A couple of house points isn’t that much but being first boot or at high risk of such obviously isn’t ideal.

Yes I agree we are an odd pair but that could really play in our favour if they don’t reveal the pairs. Not sure if they are going to do that though?
In my experience in these things there is value in a bit of day 1 character shtick just to have something to talk about. So I think your plan to just talk about quidditch is a good one. I suggest you just to a quick google of Oliver Wood to get a some details about him that you can use. That said, that stuff usually falls away after a day or so. Just useful for initial connections.
When suits you for the challenge? Tomorrow night would work for me (time zone assumed you are in Australia).
There was something in one of the opening posts which suggested to me that the last placed team might be eliminated. I’ll find it and come back.

Well I think the point of this day 0 is for us to formulate a connection and bond and perhaps develop some plans for the future.
Assuming this day 0 is very much like it was in the us survivor bvw seasons we will be split into a good guys Side and a bad guys Side (there are 10 of each) after Sunday (ie we won’t be together for the first part of the game and won’t be able to chat.) so this is our chance to share thoughts on how we see the game going for both of us.
For me, we must like and/or respect each other outside the game as otherwise we wouldn’t be paired, so with that knowledge my intent is to go the whole way with you. Maybe that’s too forward but I sort of expect that’s what we would do as partners?
