Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry discussion

REMINDER: Do not post in this topic unless you are one of my underlings.

Share your ideas for the group, pictures, random thoughts... This is our little corner for whatever.

First off, when are we starting the RP? I assume it'll be when all the kids are coming in for the first day of school?

Yes. We'll start in King's Cross Station, on Platform 9 3/4. Sound like a plan? Then we'll have the train ride to Hogsmeade Station and then the boat/carriage rides to Hogwarts, etc.

Any objections?

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Nope! Like it.

What about profs? They'll have a sort of meeting too?

Hm... That is an excellent question. Should they have a meeting, or just time to themselves, without any students there for once?

Time to themselves! Prior to arrival of students. :D

We will have multiple RP threads right? So things can happen simultaneously in different locations?

Sounds good.

Yes. There's no way this could happen otherwise.

Agreed. I'm a big fan of multiple RP threads.

It depends on the roleplay, for me. This one is huge so having only one would be miserable.

Yes LOL. It needs to feel like TONS is happening all at the same time in different places.

Да! We have seven years of students plus a whole staff to cover here!

It'll be awe-le-some. ((Now I'm torn between the groundskeeper and Quidditch instructor.... Sigh.))

Ha! Ha ha ha!

Jess sweetheart, I will gently refer you to message 1.

Also, Jess, please feel free to make a guy. :)

I'm working on a guy right now! August's older brother. He's gonna be a Quidditch player and a flirt, and he's going to do everything he can to drive Kat crazy.

BAHAHA! I love you so much! :P

Rightfully so! He's pretty cute too, in a little bit of a rough-and-tumble way.

I hope Kat isn't too mean to him LMAO.

Don't worry, he'll just shrug it off, or be convinced it's her way of flirting.

LMAO! I can't wait!

Sorry, I had to disappear to eat dinner. I'm back.

Heehee no worries. :)

I'm still searching for the perfect picture for my groundskeeper. I kind of want him to at least look like a bad boy....

Lololl! I'm putting the finishing touches on Bradley. ;)

:D

HE'S DONE!

I saw! So awesome! :D

So I'm thinking it's about time to start this...

Start what? The role-play?

I think we need more characters....

Yes.


We have twelve characters approved already and another eleven in the works... People can add characters as we go, how it would work would be that they've been there the whole time, rather than them having to find a way to jump in. Do you still think we should wait?

True true, if you feel that's good then I'm down. ;) ((Only cuz I wanna RP LOL))

Me too. Y'all should tell me what's wrong with my characters so I can fix them so I can RP with them...

What topics do we need for Hogwarts right now? I already know how I'm going to do the train stuff.

Your characters all look good to me.

Um... Houses living quarters, Quidditch field, halls, classrooms (maybe one for each course?)....

What's a better way to say 'In-Story Announcements'? (I need it for a topic title.)

Notice Board

I'm thinking we don't need all the topics right now, because that will be overwhelming, only the bare essentials needed to roleplay and then every time we need something more, we'll add that topic.

KK

Emma, can you glance at my characters to give a thumbs up or down?

I like it, thank you.

Here's our how-to guide for the roleplay.

Any questions, concerns, or suggestions that I need to deal with?

Should we hold a Triwizard Tournament of sorts, once we're more fully immersed in the roleplaying part?

Possibly... We'd have to create two whole other schools for that though... Unless we incorporated it/Hogwarts/House Cup/too many thoughts!!!!

What if we did a similar sort of thing, but it was part of the House Cup competition?

Yeah that might be better!

Ooh, yes, like if we had a champion from each House compete against each other. We could do a trivia-based selection:

-Gryffindor's selection is based on their bravery. I could come up with a quiz for that.

-Ravenclaw's obviously on wisdom and smarts.

-Hufflepuff--difficult. I'll get back to you on that.

-Slytherin: See who can write the best pure-blood family tree or recite the names of pure-bloods.

Poor Hufflepuffs!

Slytherin would have to be different because they no longer are so obsessed about the whole pure-blood thing. Some of them might be, but more and more half-bloods and even Muggle-borns are being put into Slytherin. (Times have changed.)

Or we could just do a cup sort of thing? Random selection, anyone above a certain age or whatever can put their name in?
