About Adonis...
I would definitely prefer that Adonis remain the guild owner/captain. From what I hear, someone changed Adonis' password, didn't share it with the other mods for a month, and items were missing when you all got access back. Well, I won't say that I wasn't worried that this kind of thing would happen. I knew Adonis was not without his risks. I don't know who the person in question is, so I can't really criticize you, but I will emphasize that Adonis's password was meant to go out to only the heads and the especially active and helpful members. Once again, I don't know exactly what happened, so I can't really say anything.
All I know is that Adonis was made to keep the guild from going dead. I understand that a Crew member has a pretty good amount of access to moderating the guild. But there are times when you really need to be able to have Captain accessibility.

Finally about Hufflepuff Head...
It would not be very Hufflepuff-ish of me to try to stay Hufflepuff Head. My first instinct would be to name Juni as the new head, but the democracy-loving girl in me says that we should probably ask my puffies who they want to lead them...

last one... I got this in a PM... Remus_Lupin3 Hi Mafalda.
I was looking around your Harry Potter Guild, and wondering if you would like to become an affiliate to my Harry Potter Guild. I'll give you further details if you want to, but for now, it's just a question?
Please Reply, Remus_Lupin3.

The concept of ghosts wouldn't be just murdering people, it would be like they are living forever in our guild. Ghosts really live in Hogwarts since they see, think, and talk with members. That's what I meant, and I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I think that was there general concept also. I feel that because you were the first Guild Vice (Deputy Head) you should really
Head: I truly believe that Juni deserves it. Most of the older members disappeared or come in every once in awhile, and I'm sure because most of them new and Juni's been around they'd definetely choose her as the permanent replacement. It'd take ages to go through the whole democracy thing, but that's one of the biggest things I love in this guild (esp. when KT ran it) that everyone has a voice. I say we should do the voting stages.
Affliates: Could you handle all that affliation stuff? I remember before your hiatus we were in stages of developing bonds to handle Quidditch, which has fell apart because DDA can no longer do it because of personal issues. Right now a few mods (and active members) are discussing what to do in this thread Anyway, we're also going to start taking applications for a new Quidditch referree. We also want to use two assistants so that the entire system doesn't depend on one person (a major screw up on our, particularly mine, part) The Head system also changed. There is now Deputy Heads in every house (prefect 1) and a prefect (prefect 2) also, so that when the current Head can't fill their duties temporairly there's always someone to get the modpowers to keep things running smoothly. It also works because in the case that one of the Heads want to quit, the DH is there to take the reins (with a vote of assent from all the current mods)
I love Adonis because it gave no mod extreme authority... it belonged to everyone. I also mentioned to Juni (in this thread) that we (you and I) were talking about ways of using Adonis' journal as communciation between mods. An issue came up (last 2 pages) about us constantly using his thread to talk about issues... maybe you can read that? It was the most recent thing we were discussing. We also talk a lot in the thread, which works great for everyone.
A lot has changed since February/January. Do you have any questions?? I don't want to ramble with information you possibly don't want/need.
Crap I typed a lot. sweatdrop
Also each Head is supposed to be handling their own student lists now. That way the entire responsibility doesn't fall on one person. I don't know how you did it because it's the most difficult thing so far. I like it though, and I think the mods who do it agree. It helps us weed out who's not posting and what not.

I think as far as ghosts go when the heads feel someone deserves that title they can offer it...but it should be the persons choice really.

Well, I wasn't the first deputy head... [Shorty] was... Anyways...
Ghosts I just meant that this guild tends to have a lot of fun with our characters and RPing with those characters. If we can't be as active but still want to drop in from time to time, then it puts a damper on our character to only be allowed to become a ghost... It just seemed fun to give a variety of choices... It's not like there's going to be a lot of these sort of characters... We can give them a general title... er... "Retired Members" ... "Honorary Members" ... "The Rememberals" (hehe...sounds like a band...I was going with the idea that they are the ones not forgotten)... "The 'Hasbeens'" ( whee From Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them... Ghosts didn't want to be considered beings because they were clearly 'hasbeens')... "The Enchanted"... Or maybe we could use the Resurection Stone somehow to describe them. Because these members may come back as mere shadow or echo or whatever, but they will never be as active as they once were...
Head Puffie I'll tell the Puffies to PM me any nominations they have. Just in case. I've no doubt that Juni is a fabulous Deputy Head, but we Puffies feel the need to be just and loyal to ourselves and each other... Not to mention the fact that we must take into consideration Juni's wishes. It's all a mental trip... It feels much easier to take charge and be in control when there's some one higher (not that I was doing anything...) than it is to take that top spot. It's not really any different but it feels different... I know it did for me when I was running the guild while Pinkie was going through her own hiatus and then she just gave the whole thing over to me...
Affiliates I dunno... I think I could handle that... but I don't think I would be of much help if we decide to do a Tri-Wizard tournament or a cross guild quiddich match... But I could be a sort of main source, give you the info you'd need etc... I know that about the time I started getting less active I was hoping to include affiliates and helpful links/non-guild threads in the siggy and links thread... I mean, I know that this guild just isn't meant for some... or else sometimes we enjoy visiting other guilds. It's good that we aren't all the same, it enables us to go from experience to experience... As for the thread you mentioned... I don't know... the guild already had a thread but I understand the need for a new one... we can't exactly edit Pinkie's posts, now can we?
Adonis by communication we mean like announcements etc, right? Or do you mean like to keep a record of whats in his inventory? I dunno... aren't journals public? The only thing I can think of that mods would need to discuss outside of the guild would be maybe to plan a secret sort of event... I've no idea on that...
Changes I'm sorta picking stuff up as I go. I find that when I try to hear it all at once, it makes my head hurt and I start to think that i don't have the time for the guild any more... I think I mostly just need to substantially reduce what I do in the guild. I'll ask when I need filling in... but for now, just assume I'm dumb and ignorant when you discuss things, I suppose. Thanks for offering biggrin
Heads/Student lists That sounds fabulous. The lists used to take me literally an entire day... Sometimes even more... Splitting it up into houses sounds great... But the elves are still being looked at, right? I've tried to think of so many ways to organize it, but the elves tended to always but a block on my brain... I used an excel file... it was just easier to organize because you can color coordinate, highlight those you want to keep an eye on, alphabetize, sort in order of join date, etc. It made it easier to find people. The only problem I see in splitting it up is that if someone changes their log-in name, it's harder to figure it out... I was just getting tierd of there being 30 Gryffindors and 10 Hufflepuffs, but then having 8 active Hufflepuffs and only like 5 active Gryffindors... That's also a big reason why the sorting requirements were made... it's not fair to the active people when the rest of the people sorted into their year aren't active...

I like the Enchanted! Or The Rememberals.... I agree with Angil it's up to the person, but we don't need to have 60 different titles. It makes for disorganization. I didn't know that about [Shorty] I know she's an immune from banning member though. With the little excerpt Angil wrote about the guild I don't think every single person who did something for the guild should be mentioned. Only those who made the biggest impact like Pinkie, or who did something first like Grey.
Puffie: Whatever is best for Hufflepuff is fine by me.
Affliates: Yeah...it's weird because now Quidditch isn't together or whatever. Maybe we should just be loners (it's been working well, we have more posts than any HP guild) and do it our way like we've been doing. What thread? The one in the RG forum? I had your permission to start it when I did. If not thread what thread are you referring to?
Adonis: Annoucements.....not really the inventory. When I pitched the idea ages ago I was thinking we should keep a record of what every mod does when they log on to Adonis. Angil created it though so I can understand why she would change things, but I still think the mod team should be notified.
Changes: Sure though it's weird switching roles. It used to be you telling me everything! lol
Heads/Student Lists: Elves are all me. I think I'm doing pretty well with keeping up with post counts and whatnot. Then the Heads are all doing their part... with the lists we currently do it's easy to see who's posting and then when it's time for bannings who has to go. An entire row of 0 posts just isn't good. The current lists are all posted in the Filing Cabinet. We're trying to find a different way to do it though because your way is hard. I dunno.

(Page 43 is where you posted all those HP guilds)
(Page 45 is where we discussed the Journal)
Some things we mentioned in PMs too. I get about 10-20 PMs
a day, so I no longer have those
I was trying to find where we were discussing making the recruiting thread. I remember! It was that Guild Hiatus thread we made a long time ago. A moderator accidentaly deleted it, so it's no longer here. That's where a bunch of the stuff was mentioned and discussed.
I know how it is to delete threads because not too long ago I deleted our Hogwarts Express Coming Train. It had 12 pages of student postings! That was at the start of this term which really went well.
Instead of making a long post here, I'll make a long PM.

I just had an idea for Fright Week. How bout a Scary Story contest? People can enter with their stories, and when enough entries are in, it'll be put up to a vote by the members. How's that sound?
If it's a good idea then we should probably stick it in the Event forum sooner rather than later as I'm sure everybody likes time to prepare for storytelling.

OMGOMGOMG... I just had another idea. But it's really silly. rofl
Okay okay... it's called Hot Jack-o-Lantern. Think of it as Hot Potato, but it's played with the forum's Roll Dice post actions.
So people'll enter to play. In order to join, the entries must roll a 100-sided die to determine who gets to gets to start off with the Jack-o-Lantern (highest roller gets it). Then the game starts. The person who has the JoL will toss/hand over/kick/etc. the pumpkin at another player of their choice while rolling a 20-sided die. If the tosser rolls a 1-19, the reciever is safe.
However... if the tosser rolls a 20. The JoL explodes in the reciever's face!! And that person will be out of the game.
The game continues until one person left. Last man standing wins a prize!

Which ever one Puffie wants to do is fine. I like the Jack-O-Latern idea!
I would advise you to lessen the intervals of the dice so it's easier to get the number. 20 would be really lucky if you got it.

Hmm, good point... maybe 17-20 to boom then?
I'm actually really excited about this idea. Maybe I'll stick to this one instead, it seems more fun xd Exploding Jack-o-Lanterns... yes, I think Fright Week could use a bit of that.
