Hey guys, sorry for not being the most active the last few days. We have an apartment all lined up, though, and I have a new baby!doctor, so at least I got something accomplished. :D

There haven't been a lot of new threads popping up, and the turnout for the party thread left me feeling a little let down. Part of it has been my fault - I have a slew of characters I could bring in to liven things up - but I didn't want a whack of one-on-one conversations, is all. I thought we could have little clusters of characters, but that didn't happen. Is it too late to keep trying? I'd be more than happy to reply to some of the threadlets in there if we could get a few more characters involved and really sink our teeth into the party. As of now, it sort of feels like we should move on and focus on the present. Thoughts? :)

Again, we're down a Tonks, so if anyone's interested, she's up for grabs (and a PB change, plz).

Hope you're all doing well and staying cool! :D

Going to be gone most of today, and was gone most of last night. So I'll reply to holds and applications when I get back this evening! Thanks and sorry for the delay.

Back - replying slowly.

( Mod Plea! )

Please respond here if you have any thoughts, concerns or questions. I don't think I can take another e-mail today, lol. And voicing your thoughts in public will help everyone understand where each of us is coming from. I want to solve any issues before they even develop. :D

And then! I explain about our new approach to the passage of time.

That sounds waaay more epic than it is.

Srs Biznus Time: Hopefully, this new method will be simple enough and it won't be as limiting as the current situation is. It applies as follows...

Saturday, July 10th, 2010 = Saturday, September 2nd, 2000.
Sunday, July 11th, 2010 = Sunday, September 3rd, 2000.

And so on.

So, we're starting on a Saturday in real time, and it will be our Saturday in game time. Every day that passes after that in real time will be the next day in game time. Got it?

Starting tomorrow, it will be the September 2nd in the game.

All threads posted on any given day will be free from the passage of time, so that all of the comments that are being posted to it for the following days still take place on the day the main thread was posted. Otherwise, we'd have to hurry up and finish full threads with several replies all in one day, and I know none of our schedules would allow that!

On Monday, it will be Monday in the game, and so on. If Monday arrives and you decide you want to post up a thread that happened on Saturday, post it to the backdates - we have a whole community for those who'd like to cling to the past. :D

Thoughts?

I'm sure there'll be an intro for her, but we have a Luna now, as played by Ali. I've updated the flister accordingly. Also, there's a page for how the professor's chambers look: Quarters - including a layout with a sitting room, bathroom and main bed chamber. There are also new location tags reflecting these, for example: location: sirius' chambers. So, enjoy those. I hope we'll get some use out of 'em.

This needed to be said, since things have gotten confusing. It's a rules/faq update, so to speak, concerning time in-game.

From now on, once I've posted an entry with one of the following journals... banker_bill, dora_platt, elgan, henrietta_black, head_mistress... please do not post a thread or a log to the main community (hp_faculty) that takes place at an earlier date than what mine is labeled.

So: My most recent entry (or an entry posted by someone whom I've given permission to move the time along to) is the current in-game time. That's that. Everything that happens before that should definitely be posted to the backdates. I don't want to see anything dated earlier once time has moved on, please. And thank you. :D I'm headed over to change all of this info in the FAQ too, so feel free to comment if there are any further questions.

Just a reminder...

All owls, blogs, journals (which are like blogs, but private to the writer) and backdates should all be posted to notice_board.

Current threads should be posted to hp_faculty.

-Beck

I just wanted to remind everyone to please utilize the tags - OOC and IC. I've tagged all of your intros, so that's all done and out of the way. But I like to stay organized and 'tags' is a tool that can help everyone out. So, yay for tags. :D

EDIT: We have two new members, including Anna (playing Tonks).

Since we have a new member (Shanti, playing Snape), I've updated the f-lister. Don't forget. :D

Update Your Journals!

Opening With Ten Applications or by Monday, June 28th, 2010!
