Hi everyone! We have a lot of logistical things to figure out in the next week or so. We hope you’re all having a great and festive month!
Firstly, we know the log assignments went out later than we’d planned because we all had some OOC stuff come up this week. We’ve received an email asking for more time to complete the logs and we want to put it to the group — would everyone prefer if we moved the deadline and battle to DECEMBER 24TH, which would give everyone an extra 48 hours to get their logs in?
Secondly, we’re pleased to announce that THIS is how the new Ministry will look! We’ll send you all an invite to a separate doc later today to start talking logistics/policy/etc.
Thirdly, we received an email asking about the logistics of the upcoming Ministry and their work with the Order. Our goal is to have the Order continue to function for the duration of the war/game, which means they will continue to operate even after the Ministry has been taken back, with or without the Ministry’s permission. We understand this could create some conflict, but ultimately, we’d like to try to find a way to reconcile that. One aspect of canon we’d like to maintain is the Order’s role as being what ultimately tips the scales against the Death Eaters. The only other concrete part of our plan for how this relationship will pan out is that the charges for vigilantism under the new government will ultimately be dismissed and pardoned.
We’ve put our heads together and come up with a few potential solutions/scenarios:
The interim Minister chooses to temporarily suspend legal consequence for vigilantism until the new Minister has been elected.
Since the new Ministry will be integrated fairly evenly between the Order & CAV, they could continue working together by temporarily deputizing Order members.
We can embrace that there will be conflict here. The Order could continue to operate despite it being illegal and without collaborating with the Ministry. This could also include an agreement they will disband after Voldemort’s defeat.
If you have any thoughts on these or have any of your own ideas for solutions, please feel free to share your thoughts! Our only bottom line is that the Order will continue to exist and move forward with their projects — this will help determine how, exactly, they’re going to do that and how we can make it make sense for everyone.
