Yet another mod post.
Firstly, run the button, as Katie adds to the game her second character, Ruby Robins ([info]laal)!


Secondly, the club rosters have been updated at the Classes & Clubs page. Flying Club is the only new club with an established meeting time so far - I went for Saturdays since that seemed to be the preferred date when Angelina posted about it, but it can be changed to any other time if people decide a reschedule is better. As before, we'll be more than happy to reschedule. We're also open to suggestions to when the other clubs should have their meetings - weekdays at 5pm, weekends, or any other idea you might have. And as before, spots are still open for student heads on several clubs (Emily, would you want Angelina to head the Flying Club since she made all the preparations?). And since I'm bound to have missed something while organizing the rosters, if I've missed any name just let me know!


And finally, I'd like to announce that the info pages for Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are unlocked and ready for your perusal. They are yet to be linked to this journal's main page as we're hoping for some feedback from you on how clear and informative they are, as well as our take on the schools.
We're adding these pages to the game because in about a week (October 15th, to be more precise), we'll be opening holds on the foreign students, with a dozen characters (six boys and six girls) for each school. Once these holds are available, the character limit will extend to five per person - three from Hogwarts, one from Beauxbatons, and one from Durmstrang. We already have 2 ½ early holds for Beauxbatons, though, so if you want to request someone before the 15th feel free to do so! The only thing you have to keep in mind is that all foreign students need to be 17 by the time they arrive at Hogwarts, since they are all volunteers for the tournament, and also that Durmstrang will have no muggle-born students.

Obviously it has linguistic roots in German, but Durmstrang sounds more Norwegian than Swedish to me... not that I speak either language (Scandinavian languages are HARD, people), but Norway always seems more cold and dramatically landscaped in my imagination. Of course, I could have just made that up ;) I'm reading up on the Nazi occupation of Norway (it'll be relevant, if I can make it make sense), and it's pretty interesting. I can feel something of an idea in there for how it'll link up, so I'm going to let the idea brew a little and see how it ends!

What can I say, Catholic school applications are really boring and about 22 pages long. Procrastination is welcome...

That's the idea I have about Norway too. Oh dear yes, what I know about the Nazi occupation has more to do with the experiments in eugenics they did there, but it's enough to know the amount of material you might have found there.

My knowledge of Norwegian history is pretty minimal, really. Our history education was pretty much limited to countries we ruled or had wars with (which is admittedly a significant part of the world, but still, not much of Norway!), so...

My vague current plan is that his family will be considered blood traitors due to the fact his father specialises in human rights law, particularly relating to the atrocities committed by Grindelwald and his ilk. They chose Durmstrang to educate the children because of Norwegian resistance in the Muggle war, but that seems a little tenuous at the moment. Or perhaps, Durmstrang would seem like more of an elite option, given a distaste for wizarding politics at home (yeah, a lot of thinking out loud here, so I'm trying to decide upon something more concrete XD)

Thinking out loud and throwing ideas is all part of the fun, plus you've still got plenty of time to find the perfect idea. :)
