I did?
Oh, I forgot.
We should talk about that another time...
Anyways Juni, do you think with hard, hard work, we can make this work?
Or do we need to be slapped by the reality check?

Yes, but that's in the short term. In the long run, your kid would graduate at age 17 and its parent would be 90 years old. That's the problem, not the thirty and eleven thing.

We may have to tweak some things here and there, but overall I think this could work.

Oh, that's a problem.
Hm, Maybe the age...5 years every term?
But the term after the kid is born....they would age to 5 too, so we can rp them and have them meet future kids that they might have classes with. Then, a term later they would do the whole, age a day thing.
Yay for it working!
Kitty can graduate!

Tough to say. I need to talk with the other mods about it because this will involve making some big changes.... unfortunately most of the mods are MIA at the moment -_-'

Ann was here a few days ago, maybe she's still reachable? That's one more mod, at least. xp

Well, I don't even know who is or isn't a mod. So I can't even help you there.

I'm here, and I just read through it all. Wow, this discussion is active! I think my head's spinning...
If I may offer an idea:
If we allow both shops and houses in the Hogsmede subforum, things could get rather tangled. Can you imagine a student RPer trying to find Honeydukes in the midst of "Jones' place" and "The Smith House"?
So, how would it be if the mods made all the Shops into stickied threads?
Then there will be a pretty clear dividing line between the residential section and that for businesses.
Also, concerning the aging issue.
Right now, if I'm remembering correctly, you have a scenario where a person graduates, spends two weeks setting up in Hogsmede, and then turns twenty in a sort of time warp for RP purposes. At that point they can marry and have a kid. After one term period, both parent and kid age five years. After another term, five more years go by. That next term, the kid turns eleven and can be sorted.
Then perhaps we just turn the whole 'time warp' off for those who have a new student in Hogwarts?
There would still be a bit of trouble with the timeline as a whole, but I really don't see any way to fix that unless we regulate time to 'one year per term'...which means that people are going to be waiting some fifteen or so terms before they can bring their new character in.
Helpful at all? Or have I just created more problems?

(Alutian, Juni, Ann , Me, Restless, and IceeKat are mods)
Just to clarify...I got lost in all your good ideas ! For making shops, are only graduates making shops or just the public? Because if it wasn't just the graduates wouldn't you think it could get messy with everyone creating a shop and having houses and such?
But I love the idea of making families and making houses in the subforum. It can actually make this subforum really fun for the graduates. I'm a graduate so I should really help out with this.
I'm kind of lost with the age thing...so i'll go re-read that now.

Alutian, I agree completely. Turn off the time warp. It's the only way to make things really right age-wise in my book.

Well, the way I saw the age thing was way more simple. After we graduate, we spend two weeks working in a premade shop, then after those two weeks, we "skip" to an older, pre-set age like...30. So, I'm going to use an example to show you.
Susie has graduated, and will now go work at Zonko's joke shop for a real life time of two weeks, a requirement that must be made before you can own your own shop or home (then you must send a mod an application for a storefront and can either be approved or denied, but homes you can "buy" without applications). This would be the transition period where they can be in their 20s, then when the two weeks are up they skip to when they are thirty, married, and have a kid(s). The child will automatically start at 11 so they can be sorted into Hogwarts, with out having to be an elf, since that is merely to test the waters on new members.
Then every term is one year. So say Susie's son, Bill, joins Hogwarts fall term at 11, well then at the end of fall term Bill will be 12, and his mother will be 31, and we advance as such. Older grads will grow older faster, for example, a 7th year now will reach his/her forties before a 4th year will by the time they actually graduate...
[[Boy I said it was simple, and look how drawn out I made it!]]
[[Also, Alutian I like that the shops be made into Stickies. to put them at the front of all of the homes]]

I like the idea , Summer, on how the stores can be approved and denied and there will be applications.Less confusion.

Yes that's probably the best and clearest idea, Summer. I suggest that we sort through all of these ideas now and figure out what we're doing and not doing. There are a lot of ideas here, you know?
