! activity check, ! mod post

Assorted modly stuff.
As you have read in the rules, we'll have activity checks at the end of each month - usually around the 23/24, in order to give you a week to get ready. However, since we're still introducing our first characters, there won't be an activity check for August.

As a reminder, the minimum requirement at the end of each month will be of two pieces of activity per character. A piece of activity can either be:
* a post with at least 100 words or five sentences
* a thread/log with at least five comments from your character
* an owl message
* a complete narrative
* a hiatus note if you've been absent for a week or more

Secondly, the plot post for September will be posted on the 28th, and will feature such events as the students' return to Hogwarts, and Draco Malfoy, the Amazing Bouncing Ferret! If you have any ideas for incidents that should feature in the calendar, like someone accidentally transfiguring their fellow student into a pineapple or a disturbing encounter with Moaning Myrtle, let us know so that it can be added to the list.

Also, in two days time the Quidditch World Cup final will take place. For that reason, we'll be having two IC/OOC posts (one for the game and another for the Death Eater riot) where those of you with characters attending the game can thread and/or comment as much as you want about the game and the Death Eater riot later on. If you prefer, of course, you can just have your character post about it in their journal.

And finally, I'd like to point out that, with the exception of Rita Skeeter (whose acid green quill is sure to cause some damages in a few days' time), all non-playable canon characters are up for grabs. The teaching staff icons that you can see at gobletnpc are just placeholders in case any of them might be needed for a thread, and can be replaced by another PB of your choice if you decide to claim any of them for yourself. To make a claim, just log into the NPC journal and add your name either to the keywords of the icon description.

If you have any question that hasn't been answered in this post, just leave a comment. I'll reply asap!

	Just the posts, I'm afraid, though that might change with time. If it helps, though, you can combine posts until you reach the desired total. For instance, Cormac's first post had 3 sentences/50 words, so I'd need to produce another post with at least 7 sentences or 50 words, and both posts would then count as an activity check.

	Ten one sentence posts a month. Got it. :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Make that twenty one-sentence posts a month, since you need two pieces of activity. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, wait, but up there it says five sentences per piece! points DON'T DASH MY DREAMS, PATRICIA. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to blame it on the fact I miss-typed it wrongly when I gave you the example above and wrote a 7 instead of a 2 (which I honestly have no idea how it happened, since the two keys are so far apart) and looked at the wrong comment rather than the correct post list. headdesk (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could also say that it was because I have two characters and thus will need twenty sentences total! Between yours and mine, I think you're covered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, yeah, that would have made for a less sincere and more obvious explanation, wouldn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sincerity is charming. A lesson Cormac could learn from his mun ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He still has a long way to go before he learns such a lesson, I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misshiggstoyou 2012-08-23 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Well, until he does, at least he has lots of females around to shout at him :D (Not one word about the dancing Amelia icon, Cormac. Not. One. Word.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What about if that word is "shoe"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misshiggstoyou 2012-08-23 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	.... Well, then I guess I'm curious and I want to know why the word is "shoe"??? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merely because he knew it would confuse her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was just saying to Becca that poor Cormac needs a male friend. He is surrounded by scary strong women, some of whom want to snog him when they're done arguing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	myownfanclub 2012-08-24 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, as much as he likes the idea of girls wanting to snog him, he needs to have some male company. Being criticized about his thoughts about girls every time he opens his mouth is annoying him a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
