I also thought about Quiddich, I know this is DDA's department, but I've been looking forward to it happening for a really long time, and it would be really disappointing for everyone to have a failed season yet again.
So I was wonderign how he was planning to the games once we got full teams. The way I see it is that I think each team should play each other time once...and by the time they do I think the term will have been over.
So if there's 4 teams, they'd each play three games.


Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff
Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw
Slytherin vs Gryffindor
Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw
Hufflepuff vs Slytherin
Ravenclaw vs Slytherin

Those would be the six games, and then, if DDA's doing a quiddich cup, a final match or maybe just add the total points earned? Again not trying to say what to do just wondering what we are doing, this is just my view. What does everyone else, particularily DDA, think?

Just for the fun of it, I did a picture of the three graduates we have, in robes and hats:

If anyone wants to use it for whatever sort of ceremony/celebration we hold, you can. If you don't want to use it, that's okay too.

Just for anyone who is interested in knowing their full student list for each house and year...I have updated the student lists in the Entrance Hall located in the White Tombs. These were compiled by the Heads who sent in their list to Icee a while back sometime in May. They should be correct (the first years were also added to the list). I hope it helps.

Alright, so for this year's sorting hat, I noticed that some of the pictures are a little bit dead, so we're going to need new ones, but what do you guys think of, for this year, instead of painstakingly editing the first post constantly, if for adding house points people added them and then gave the new totals, that way we can see math mistakes easily too..

like...

first post


gryffindor=0
hufflepuff=0
ravenclaw=0
slytherin=0


second post


Adding house points for lesson/event/reason x
10, 10, 10, 10


New total:
gryffindor=10
hufflepuff=10
ravenclaw=10
slytherin=10


Kind of like that?


I love the good in that. That way all the mods would have to do is make sure the figures are right. It was hell trying to add all that together

Who is graduating, then?
I know of mystic_emerald, and that there are one or two Hufflepuffs, but I've forgotten who they are. sweatdrop
er, well I knew of mlore, but the student list is kind of...filled with gaps since we lost it. sweatdrop


And when term gets started and set that can be fixed.. It'll be crazy.

Don't forget Grey_Temerity (Hufflepuff) as a graduate!! (DDA can use Alutian's pic (lovin' it) in the Hogsmeade thread he's making for the graudates. They are the first graduates.
I checked up on Merine and her account has been dead for 9 months so there's no reason to make a certificate for her

Angil's Quidditch idea makes sense to me. I think that was the way DDA was going to have it. Will there be a set date? Or will the captians PM their teams when they play?


Fall Event: I know the Graduate celebration is the only sure thing.... are we doing that House Spirit thing too?

eek...woah, not what i meant....what i meant by house point guidelines is that...well I think each teacher should know about how many house points they plant to give for each lesson...when I was teaching some teachers were giving 5 house points and some 50...I think we need boundaries. I thought I'd try it the other way to make it less cluttered but I'll move it back.. Iceewitch and I have already agreed to consult all mods aon junk like this. Sorry for misunderstanding.


I see what you mean by boundaries. I don't really touch so it's not something I understand... Does the difficulty matter with the number of points?

As a previous teacher as well as a student, I found it really unfair that I would read an immense amount of typing, answer difficult questions, and be awarded 15 house points, and students in another class would type a short response and gain like 25, so yes I think it matters.

Grey_Temerity was definetely NOT in Hufflepuff. He was in Slytherin, believe me, I know, I like a second or third year when he graduated. (That's right guys our guilds first official graduate was a member of Slytherin. NOT HUFFLEPUFF....He'd probably be offended if you sent him a certificate that had the wrong house on it...lol. Actually, he graduated so long ago, the certificate will probably amuse him. (We'll just tell him it was lost in the mail.)

Well, I was thinking, with this many people involved and having to get online, term really isn'y long enoguh for six (possibly seven) games to occur one at a time, and then it's not fair to the teams that aren't playing if one takes too long, and since this is the internet it's bound to happen...that's why we have alternates, in case people don't get online on time. I mean, we made an entire subforum to dedicate solely to quiddich, we might as well use it right? I believe six threads should be set up: one for each game, then players can check each of the three threads that they're participating in and post when it's their turn. Other students can also cheer on their teams and make banners and whatnot..and by the end of term each game should have been played, and if it gets done sooner, then cool there's more time for RPing your victory, or if you lost, TPing the other team's locker room. :p
But yeah, all the games at once, or I honestly don't think they'd get done...I mean honestly very few classes go through even 8 lessons per term, so why would it be plausible to run something that needs such organization and high participation one at a time ?

I sure am. I'm also replacing most of the prizes with house points...we''re still gonna have a lottery at halloween though.

That's a mistake on my part. I was serching through the old threads to find out and I saw him post in Hufflepuff. I wanted to check so I pmed Grey using Adonis, but when the issue happened I removed everything and he never received it. I wish I'd thought to save the SMB. Grey Temerity is a Slytherin... okay. A simple mistkae on my part. I wasn't a member when Grey was here. At least I don't think so
These next two things I'm not an expert on so....

The thing with the Classrooms points...it depends on the teachers. DDA and Alutian and Celestial have been teaching for a long time so they'll know more than I do. The most I've done was looked inside the classrooms, unless it was the HOuse-elf class and they don't get points for that. I don't have a lot of knowledge in that area.

Quidditch: Term is 10+ weeks long. I don't even know how the games are going to go... I'll PM DDA about it now. I also need him to check on the calendar
House SPirit: What kind of prizes were there last year?

I'm good with elves and new members and how to make the guild improve more and more. Did I mention that Celestial made the House Cup?

On Sunday,

I'll be opening up the new Entrance Hall and stuff so we can start making annoucements. The calendar was never officially released and since DDA made it he can make the annoucement! He can make it now in the other Entrance Hall.

Term is about to start *yay*

I think all the Heads (not sure about Slytherin) Pmed their house members and stuff about the upcoming terms. So the lists for Students is correct and updated. Good job again guys! (And thanks a bunch!)

Angil I think I confused you on something...
Let me clear up what the Student Message Board was...
It was for one to make a place for the graduates so their thread and the absence thread won't have the same name.

And it's more broader. That way people can post absences, name changes, quest information, and other annoucements like that to let their fellows know. It wasn't to be abused if it was points were to be taken. I thinkthe absences were 'whisper' posts.. and name changes 'shout' posts.

I made anoyther version since the old one was lost. It gives the same message but not the same 'creativeness?"

I rushed through it so anyone here is welcome to edit it
