Start of Term Stuffs

[fallon grimwood]

Ok so I intend to start term on September 1st, have the start of term feast, etc. I hope that'll give us enough time to find some more professors and a Headmaster/mistress to make the feast announcement, etc. I also have a few things I wanted to run by you:

1.) I wanted to run a RP Contest so what do you guys think about a RP contest for returning to Hogwarts/start of term (if you character was already at the school)? I would grade only new threads (meaning started after the rp contest starts) in the Entrance Hall and Platform 9 & 3/4 (which could be on the platform itself or rped on the train) and all student replies made to the Start of Term feast would automatically get their house 5 points. And all points earned for the contest would go to the houses to start the term off with a bang. Also there would be prizes for the top point earner, etc.

2.) I'm thinking of making it so Staff and Student Staff are more active in the running of the school and thus having monthly Staff and Student Staff meetings to discuss things to do such as House Contests, Class Contests, etc. Also Quidditch Captains would be required to meet and discuss scrimages and official matches between house, who will go against who and when, etc.

3.) Thinking of redoing the music players at the bottom with new/more songs. Your songs specifically. Anyone interested in that or would you prefer I just got rid of them?

4.) I'm thinking of highlighting how people should list their personal plots/sub-plots/whatever you want to call them, in the Plot Update board because to date I'm the only person using it and it's for everyone.

5.) Also concerning plots/sub-plots I'd like to offer this - anyone who has important events in their plots such as deaths, public duels, etc... things that would be important for the wizarding world to know about can let me know about them and I will mention them in the site news and if you have a Plot Update threads I will add a 'Recent Sub-plot Developments' area to the sidebar or news area and link to your thread if you wish.

Umm that's it for now. I might have more to mention later, but for now this will suffice. So read, give me your opinions... if you have any ideas for things to do please do not hesitate to mention them!

I reckon each month or so, a member of MD, say the featured member, compiles a list of their favourite songs and we use that for the music player. Just a thought.

[Janet Numan]

1. I love contests, and to be involved in them is great.
2. Quidditch please! I have only done one practice and never had a change to play a game! I would love to have something to RP in the game.
3. To be honest I don't really like to use the Music player, it kinda annoys me a little because it starts up every time I open a new page or go to reply, so I keep getting the first part of the song. I mean it has its advantages, but overall (so far) it bugs me. (not bad music though)

4. Agree. And knows she needs to get her butt in gear and make a official plot for herself. Really just a clearer picture of Janet as a character because I made some changes to her coming over here from #3

5. AGREE lol, not that enthusiastically, but it makes things easier when we are all on the same page, one person can't destry a building and the next spending the day shopping there. (Bad example but still)

That is all from me! *Zips her lips*

Ahhh the music player issue was me being an idiot! Sorryyy! I posted it and took off the auto-play function, but then I noticed the order of songs was all messed up so I rearranged it and forgot to take the auto-play feature off again! I fixed it though now! Sorry again >.>;;

And yes I too would like to have a Quidditch match which is why I brought that up. Quidditch captains need to get together and set up how it'll be played, rules, etc. We need to fill the teams though too >.<;; blahh

I like Samuel's idea with the member of the month picking the songs or whatever, though I kind of vote the Character of the Month get to do that instead of the member of the month and then it could be themed to their plot if they have one, relationships, etc. maybe? -shrugs-

And I am all for the staff meetings - like a real school. It would sweet!

And the RP contest thing is always a good idea!

And... and... and... lol umm I dunno!

1. The contest sounds like a great idea actually and the ideas are flowing already.
2. Sounds like a good idea, evryone will become more involved if the Staff and Student Staff are as well.
3. I do like the music player, but ity would be better is there was a way that everyone could have input, like monthly polls or a place to post song opinions/ideas.
4. Heh, I didn't really know it was for everyone... But it does sound useful.
5. That does sound really good. Me and a few others have some brawls and other things planned for the future and it would be great for people to know major things going on with others.

You know actually there was a thread a while back where I asked people to give me songs to put in the player though I wanted it to be character theme songs back then. That didn't really catch on though o.O
