It's finally that time. Opening time! But before we get to the fun and things like that there are a few things that need to be addressed and such before we can begin.

MUGGLE-BORNS


It has been asked that I address the situation of Muggle-borns in the game so this is your friendly reminder of where they stand. When Voldermort first came to power the Muggleborn registration act was instated where they asked people of suspicious ancestry to prove their heritage. Those that could not were rounded up, their wands snapped, and put into Azkaban. While it is likely that some of the wealthier Muggleborns could have paid to have their trees faked it is not likely that many could afford this option. The ones that were captured were released after a year of imprisonment and left to either go to the Muggle world or try and blend back into the Wizarding world without their wands. It is possible that some acquired new wands but it would have been highly expensive and they would have had to known the right connections in order to get this foreign wands imported in without detection.

ORDER/DEs


As expected these groups are run much like they were in cannon. For the sake of driving plots both leaders, Voldermort and McGonagall, will be NPCs. Any updates will be posted in the Mod journal. Both leaders will be addressing their ranks here in the next few days in response to the weekend plots and happenings.

WEEKLY PLOT POINTS


Every week there will be a list of weekly plot points to help give people something to write about and help move the game wide plots along. They are optional and people are free to sign up for them and it is encouraged for players to work together to expand on the plots, play them out, or whatever they deem necessary. The first list of these should be up by the end of the night.


Whew. Now that that's out of the way the game will be officially opened with the posting of the Prophet article. Also be sure to hit the button to add ALECTO CARROW to the game brought to us by Alex.

Just a few questions in regards to the Muggleborn thing. The Weird Sisters have got in their histories that they released an album late '96 and went on tour in '97... which included a tour of North America, therefore they were out of the country when Voldemort first came into power (around August '97) and not be able to register straight away. Is it possible the Ministry were a bit more lenient given the Sisters' celebrity status?

Also, would it have been possible the Ministry used the Muggleborn members of the Weird Sisters as examples to the public to say "Come in, register, there is nothing to be afraid of... see your favourite band got off unharmed, registering is harmless"? You know, to lure more people into a false sense of security that everything will be alright and then BAM, when they register they get sent to prison.

Or the Ministry gave the Muggleborn Sisters fake family trees... finding some distant magical relative. I mean, yeah, they could probably pay for it but hey, they are celebrities... doesn't that entitle them to so free stuff? Like say, being Merlin's great-great times a thousand grand-nephew? Yet again, the Ministry could use that to their advantage and say that registering is easy and Muggleborns may discover a relative they never knew they had... which, of course, is a lie.

Personally, I think if the Ministry used the Weird Sisters in such a way it would probably give them more reason to go against the Ministry and perhaps join the Order, therefore giving them an in on the major plot of the game. Otherwise they'd be sitting in hiding and let everyone else do the fighting and have no real purpose of being in game at all other than to be pretty.

However, if you wish them to register and go to prison all the Weird Sisters' apps will have to be rewritten because it would affect their timeline/personalities a lot because I am pretty sure neither O or Don would buy to change their family trees... both are too honest and believe in fairness (particularly O - the boy is Hufflepuff personified).

Forgive me for not changing to the Mod journal but I'm feeling lazy.

Honestly, I am sure they did get some leniency where their status is coming from. They were probably very easily able to get their trees faked or maybe not even really bothered at all since they are so famous, popular, and have such a power over so many people.

I'm willing to go w/ the Ministry using them if that's alright with all of the players because it does make sense and it does give them a position in the game. Something to stand against even though they got a free pass. Imprison too many celebrities and you risk them rising up and getting people to join them.

So I'm all for that 100%. I want everyone to have something to do in game and it can give them ties to the Order and stuff. Maybe they could be recruited into the Order? Or if they don't want the official title as Order they can be supporters and help more on the down-low.
