announcements, updates & etc

First of all, December Calendar is up!

Please remember to tag your posts in renascentyears with the week, and the people involved. If your name isn't a tag yet, let us know!

Secondly, the Halloween Murder Mystery and Interhouse Challenge threads aren't completed yet. But, by today it's been a good month since then and I have a good feeling that they won't be completed any time soon. It's also sorta affected my own RPing this month so I would rather not drag them on any longer.

So, to conclude the Halloween Murder Mystery game, comment with your guess as to who the "Murderer" was. Comment as the character you play with, I mean, so if you play two you have two votes.

As for the Interhouse Challenge threads... I am not sure how to conclude them and pick the winning team. Suggestions please? I would love to wrap them up, give out the reward for this month and start the new challenges for January (and this time we'll use a different format!). I was thinking of choosing the team who have completed the most so far in the challenge, how does everyone feel about that? Or is there a better way that someone can think of?

Lastly, house points are updated! These points include the points won during the Quidditch match. I decided to add them to the house points because quidditch match points are such a wildcard, if we rely solely on posts to count for points than Hufflepuff will probably never catch up due to the lack of puffs we have. Don't worry Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, you'll catch up to the other houses with the next quidditch match!

Oh, and these house points include deductions by the prefects. Gryffindor has had 30 points removed because of various actions by Andrew Finnigan and James Potter while Ravenclaw has 10 points off because of Abbey Dixon.

Haleigh Harper on the other hand, deserves a round of applause from her house for earning it 90 points during this points count. The most points earned by anyone in the game so far!

I've also done a quick activity check, those of you in danger have been given an LJ Nudge except for grangerweasley because you haven't even friended the mods account yet!? You have one week to post an entry or thread/log to save your characters. As always, if you ever need to take a hiatus please let us know on the hiatus post (except you're not eligible if you've been LJ Nudged if you don't have a good reason since it's been 4+ weeks of inactivity).

So yes, please comment with your murderer vote and if you have suggestions on how to choose the winning team for the interhouse challenge, please offer it!

P.S. First Quidditch match is happening in November, Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin.

P.P.S. Please don't actually change the date of the entry in renascentyears when you post a thread/log (or in your journal either honestly), it messes up when they show up on the f-list and sometimes don't even show up at all which makes it a bit of a mess when we're counting house points or checking activity at the end of the month!

EDIT!x3 I updated the Calendar as well. Take a look at it!

EDIT @ 29.06.08 Please update your friends list, as we have new additions to the game as well as take a look at the Challenge Teams list again as (almost) every team has a new member or two!!

Lux here. An activity check was done this morning and of course, at the same time house points were tabulated!




Randomly, no Prefect has yet really taken off any points. C'mon Prefects, be mean!

It's September 20, folks. Those who have preordered the new broom series will receive it in this morning's owl post! Apologies to any characters who don't have their name listed, those four were the only ones that have mentioned purchase or gifts of the broom that I've been able to gleam from the journal entries. Those who missed the preorder date, but have somehow scrambled enough galleons to purchase it may do so on their own come Hogsmeade weekend (the 31st!)


Activity Check
Unlisted names are safe. Give yourselves a pat on the back! Activity is counted by either a thread/log OR a journal entry (and not a liner entry at that) at least once every two weeks. This means you should at least have two of either at the end of the month.

If your name is listed below, you have until the 31st of this month to take your character off the list by either making a substantial journal entry or playing a thread/log.

If you are unable to please comment to the Hiatus post or reply here before the 31st to save your characters. If anyone knows that the situation is for any of the names listed (computer down, no internet, etc) then please let us know as well!

If you believe there are any mistakes on the list, let us know as well!

Prefects, we've finalized a points method for you to exercise your lovely positions ♥ We have also tallied up journal entries and threads between May 1 - May 10 for house points. The Hourglasses in the Great Hall will now display:



Additional information & How Prefects Can Take Points are found HERE. Take a look at it even if your character isn't a prefect. Questions?

On the topic of Prefects, there is a Prefect meeting going on HERE There's still a Slytherin Prefect and Hufflepuff Prefect missing from the meeting that should pop in before the meeting concludes. ;)



On another note, Katiee (Dominique Weasley/Adam Faust player) has left us due to time commitment conflicts so please update your friend's list HERE.

...by the way, everyone reads ryear_reports, right? D:
