► Mod Notes ► Please do us a favour and go here here and here to make sure all your information is correct and up-to-date. By "please" and "favour" we mean "it takes two and a half seconds. Just do it." ► 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 and do us a favour by leaving a comment in the post. 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. ► You're still more than welcome to do our OTAs. If you've taken one and not posted, please do so promptly. ► 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. We didn't do an activity check for mid-month. That stuff on the side is from the beginning of the month. You're all adults and can keep track of yourselves. ► Ongoing Events The Daily Prophet will still be mentioning werewolves and reporting on wizarding children in Muggle school. There are also still small instances of random violence against known werewolves that you're free to invent/comment on, provided you don't get too melodramatic with it. Nothing that requires more than a short trip to St. Mungo's. We're heading into the last few weeks of the Quidditch season before the play-offs. As it's a World Cup year, there's a lot of speculation about who is going to get picked for the various home nations' squads. There's been discussion of the details in the comments of the Drop Box, which professional Quidditch players and ardent fans might want to read. Any further questions on the subject should go there so we can keep everything together. With the Quidditch World Cup just a few months away and a lot of organising to be done, the Department of Magical Games and Sports (among other areas of the Ministry) will be taking on new employees, so there's room for new career opportunities if anyone wants them! ► Behind the Scenes Obviously, 2006 wasn't a leap year and 2012 is. For the purposes of the game, February 2006 has 29 days. It's not unusual, it's not a leap year and nothing that characters should comment upon. ► Upcoming Events To celebrate its grand opening, Diagon Alley's newest sweetshop The Peppermint Twist decides to promote itself by handing out free samples of chocolate. Unfortunately, a love potion that was intended for another batch of sweets fell into the chocolate when it was being made so not only is this chocolate being sold, but it's being given out to innocent passers-by. Effects will last from February 12th to February 18th. On February 17th, Harry Potter is targeted by OSTENDO in a plan that involves the whole Potter family. Harry, Ginny, Justin and Robards should be involved. If someone else wants to show up, cool. Talk to those guys about it. Hey, remember that graphorn Lee and Pansy used to attack Adrian and then irresponsibly lost because that's what happens when you're both overgrown children? It's still wandering around Cornwall, getting to know the intestines of the local fauna. On February 21st, it gores another wizard a little bit but since it's visible now, he's able to subdue the graphorn and send for the Ministry to come handle it. In a non-OSTENDO attack, Walden Macnair and Evan Rosier kill Justin Finch-Fletchley's family at their home on February 24th. If Alecto's around by then, she can come too. Let's get OSTENDO together for a meeting on February 28th. They'll send Dawlish to the hospital that day too, but he's there once a week anyway so no big deal. |
