► Mod Notes ► 8th Floor OTAs are back! ► We'd like to ask you to use the drop box instead of AIM if you have a question concerning plot or another character. Don't get us wrong, we love to talk to you on AIM, but it's easier for both of us to be on the same page with a question or concern if it's in a place where both of us can reference it. ► The "Senior Discount" is official, for those of you who were unaware. ► On that note, the "Senior Discount" is being offered to those of you who are participating in NaNoWriMo this year. Just make sure we know about it. ► TAG YOUR THREADS or we're not going to count them. It's not our responsibility to sort through a month's worth of posts on the off-chance you might have threaded. ► Every Monday this schedule will be updated with the Quidditch scores for the week. Yes, we frequently forget. If that happens, just make up whatever you want. After that, it's all on you to talk about your games, what happened in them, etc. The team bios page has a list of both in-game and OC players on the teams. If you want to make up names for the other players on your team, just drop box the names and pbs to us, and we'll get them on the list. ► Any plot ideas or events? We're not requiring you to come up with one, but if you have any, we'd love to hear them! ► Character Gains/Losses Please type your username into the box below, then press "Friends Button." Remember to do it for each of your characters. You have to be logged into a journal to use it for that particular journal. A note about requirements. If you have an 'X' next to your name at the end-of-the-month check, you MUST meet monthly requirements at the next end-of-the-month check, or your character will be removed from the game. ► Ongoing Events Election season is upon us! The list of candidates for Minister for Magic can be found here. Don't forget - even though we keep referring to them as "candidates," nobody is technically running for the office of Minister. The public will vote for Wizengamot members, then the Wizengamot will appoint a new Minister. Which, yes, means there are Wizengamot elections your character should probably be concerned with that'll take place in the first full week of December. The ban on new Apparation licences is still in effect, with no end date in sight. It's now expected that the ban will continue on until the end of Shacklebolt's term, when the new Minister will overturn it. Similarly, travel in muggle areas is still restricted and is expected to remain that way until a new Minister is appointed. ► Upcoming Events On November 18th, interested parties (please be interested) will board a train at Hogsmeade Station. The train is supposed to be headed to a political rally/debate in the Cotswolds but when it comes to a stop, passengers will step out onto a crowded platform full of muggles at King's Cross. Because of the nature of the event, they'll all be in their dress robes, which will attract gawkers - which means nobody will be able to apparate away or slip onto Platform 93/4. On November 25th Christmas is in the air with the official lighting of the Christmas tree (and other lights) in Hogsmeade. Celestina Warbeck and the Weird Sisters will headline the event. The moment all fans of The Toads have been waiting for comes on November 26th when they kick off their reunion tour. OSTENDO gets a bit cynical on the 28th, staging a fake attack on one of their members who's also a frontrunner for Minister of Magic - Gawain Robards - in the hopes that it will garner him some good will and public support. |
