Okay so I've heard nothing from Ciaran, Drag, or Greg. I'll give them till Friday but I think we can start talking about proper replacements.

H.B. Their years are now yours to choose from, and if anyone has friends they wish to pull in now would be a good time to send them a PM.


Gah! Thanks for being patient. I've been getting ready for my exams, which are (of course) all schedule on adjacent days.


Yay! I'm glad I haven't lost ya! ^_^
And it's cool, just give me a heads up whenever you need a few days off to study and such, I totally get it.


15 Hilarious Muggleborn Headcanons From Tumblr That Will Make Jaws Drop


Hahahaha!! I love that!

Also I'm going to do a small pause, and if anyone has friends that want to join bring them in, if not we can just keep handing off years after some one does one.


Well, I'm being sent off to Germany for work for a week. I'll be busy so I'll be spotty.


Thank you for the warning!


Vielen Glück!


I will be traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend here in the US, starting tomorrow. I will have my phone, but cannot guarantee my posting availability. Please bot me if necessary.


Enjoy yourself!

I hope everyone who will be celebrating this week has a wonderful holiday!


Okay I have exhausted all of my group of connections to get more people into the game so I have now gone to the forums! We'll see what bites.


So, we've got some new submissions, and after my conversation about Quidditch rules with one of them, I've worked out a rough draft of rules we could use. If anyone would like to review and comment, feel free. Comments are enabled on the Google doc, so you can leave them there.


I think its very well made. You should try to send this to the Games´s creator to see if he can include it. Its a shame that yu probably will use the shorter version of flying checks but its still preety good.


Alright! New players feel free to jump right in!

Hello all! I've compiled the timetables into a spreadsheet, here. You can change it if I made any mistakes.


Very nice work!!
I'm impressed.


Female Year 1 Witch Charms +3 | Dark Arts +4 | DADA +4 | Potions +1 | Transfiguration +3

I think we're ready to jump to our first lessons :)


I'm waiting to see if Isabella and Vincent will be doing anything. If they don't post by tomorrow I will move us along!


which year are we playing in again? Not school yeasr but actual year.


1982.


Male Wizard (Aprentice) (Fin: 1, Int: 3, Spi: 1, Pow: 2), (Charms: +4, DADA: +5, Dark Arts: +2, Mag. Creatures +5), (+1 Counter-Curses, +1 Stun)

Just as a side-note ...
If you belong to the faction that thinks that JKR had a lot of great ideas but her execution could have been better and is flawed by a lot of logical errors (world building and character consistency) than you might be interested to read into this fanfic which is basically a complete rewrite of the HP story under the pseudonym of LessWrong and is named "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality".

I will leave a warning that it IS a COMPLETE overhaul, while sticking to the major idea of story and setting, there is a lot of smacking of the more ridiculous parts of the original series.
All in all I currently greatly enjoy reading it and had had a LOT of laughs out of it.
Also, it is defiantly not as easy to read as the original and has a LOT more plotting and what-if-he-knows-that-I-know-that-he-knows in it.

So ... I can just recommend to give it a try and see if it fits your taste (I'd recommend to read until chapter 10 at least - the monologue with the sorting hat is just gold).


Sorry about the silence guys, Holiday season is always a mess! Did get all of my Christmas shopping done in one weekend though! Very proud of myself for that!

I will begin a type up for the first official day of class! If it does not show up tonight, it will be up tomorrow.


BTW im gonna use my 2 perks in Can I Borrow Your Notes? to get 2 credits of flying.


How do we go about making skill checks? Can we ask for them or does the Headmaster ask them depending on the situation


You actually don't need to spend all 14 blocks of time. You reduce the study time needed to increase your number of credits in a skill by your Intelligence score (2). So, 1 Credit of Flying requires 6 units of study, and the second requires 8, for a total of 14. However, your Intelligence reduces that to 4 and 6, respectively, costing you 10 units total, and leaving you 4 leftover.

As for when to make Skill checks, I think it depends on the situation. If the Headmaster thinks it's appropriate, the Headmaster will call for it. If you think you need one for a given situation, you can roll it. For instance, I'd say that if you're trying to convince a teacher to give you an extension on your homework, you should just assume you need to roll Persuasion and roll it. However, if you're trying to get to your first Potions class, the Headmaster may make you roll to see if you make it on time.


I have already accounted for my Inteligence Score when I took my blocks, but thanks anyways. Its bellow my Stats in my profile


Thank you for that, I did not have the book on my phone at work so I was unable to answer his question.

However I do not believe you can use that for Flying. It says that to Study you have to have access to the book... but you don't have books for flying and first years aren't allowed to have their own brooms...


Okay, but it says that to study you have to have acess to library and the books must be available there, dont know if it also refers to books refering to flying as there must be some of them that study the theory of flying, like there are books that record ways to drive better and such.


I still don't think that would work. You don't really study flying, you practice it. Like any sport we have. You can read about moves all you want but unless you actually have time to practice on a broom you wouldn't be able to gain the real experience.

You get what I mean?


Yup, ill just use it on something else, maybe persuasion ;)


That is a good choice! Persuasion is always a good choice! XD

Ah, I see. I read your post here as "I"m using all 14 of my blocks for this", not "I'm using the blocks to do this". My apologies.


So, I was looking over the schedule, and before I post a reaction...

It looks like Gryffindors only have 2 hours of Potions scheduled, as opposed to 9 hours of Charms. Is there a typo somewhere on our schedule?


There are more charms than potions in the book. At most I think two houses have one extra hour. If that.


Hope everyone had a good holiday
We shall be starting up after new years as it gets kinda busy for me! XD


I will have a post up to move us along tomorrow after work! I look foreword to begin back into the swing of it!


Plan is to swiftly finish with the Hufflepuffs and move us along to the next class by tomorrow. (Depending upon reply times.)


I am sorry guys but I have to put this on hold. My college classes are draining me and trying to GM two games, keep up with classes, work, and the games I'm a player in is starting to take its toll.

I would be more than happy to pick this up once my classes are over. Or even starting over if people want.

Those who would like to pick up or start again when my classes end please state such and I will contact you after May 14th.

I very much suspect that I'll still be on the boards in May, so count me interested :-)


Female Year 1 Witch Charms +3 | Dark Arts +4 | DADA +4 | Potions +1 | Transfiguration +3

I also have plans to still be there. Count me in!


I should still be here, so go ahead and contact me.


Lets see if this gets back on the game list.


Female Year 1 Witch Charms +3 | Dark Arts +4 | DADA +4 | Potions +1 | Transfiguration +3

Apparently, we just needed a tiny test post on the gameplay thread, which I made and deleted. It shows in the active ones to me now.


*throws up hands* why didn't I think of that? Oh well. Thank you!

I'm going to give till Monday for the others I sent a PM to to reply then we'll talk about moving foreword.


And it looks like we're back! Exciting!


Male Wizard (Aprentice) (Fin: 1, Int: 3, Spi: 1, Pow: 2), (Charms: +4, DADA: +5, Dark Arts: +2, Mag. Creatures +5), (+1 Counter-Curses, +1 Stun)

Still here too :-)


Did you not get a PM dear Francis?


Male Wizard (Aprentice) (Fin: 1, Int: 3, Spi: 1, Pow: 2), (Charms: +4, DADA: +5, Dark Arts: +2, Mag. Creatures +5), (+1 Counter-Curses, +1 Stun)

Nope


I am so sorry mate! I must have closed the wrong tab when sending out the PMs! That was totally my bad! I'm really sorry!


Male Wizard (Aprentice) (Fin: 1, Int: 3, Spi: 1, Pow: 2), (Charms: +4, DADA: +5, Dark Arts: +2, Mag. Creatures +5), (+1 Counter-Curses, +1 Stun)

No problem at all ;-)
Just saw the game popping up again and decided to give a ping of life.
