Events and Minus House points!?
Lux here, sorry to be flooding the friend's pages with so many modly things.
The September Calendar is up! It's pretty self explanatory, more details on some of the events will be given closer to the date but if there are any questions, ask away!
As for House Points, Characters will automatically accrue house points for their houses with their activity (threads & journal posts). Using this method means that Houses will can only go up in points and never down, right? Wrong! Prefects & Head boy/girl will be allowed to take away points (as well as professors but that's a different story). You also lose points for inactivity, etc. This way, points will fluctuate more and it'll give the Prefects/students more plot toys, house rivalries to play around with as well as compensate for the fact that there are more characters in some houses compared to others.
So, I have two questions which I want all of you to answer: (I would make a poll, but this isn't a paid account so I'll need everyone to reply with their comments/suggestions.)
1) Should Prefects/Heads be allowed to take away points in journal entries?
They will be allowed to do so in threads/log for sure, but most players seem to prefer writing journal entries compared to threads or find it hard to butt into a thread/log just to demerit points so... taking points away in journal entries, yay/nay/other?
2) Should threads/journals so far be counted for house points?
It would mean we start off the school year with house points already stacked up if we do count the summer hols activity. OR, we start counting threads/journals from September 1st onwards, in game time.
