The to-do list

[Pontifex Maximus]

1. We have lost ALL of our events. That means that we will need to generate a few hundred at least before we start. This is something we should begin immediately.

2. We need a lot of participation and feedback in some of the rules revisions. I will be opening up a thread for the major topics so we can discuss them.

3. We need to set up threads for the major ministry departments, Hogwarts, and anything else that is vital to the game. We will not be setting up NPC shops.

4. We need to think of more spells

Anything else?

a decision needs to be made on if we are at hogwarts, as adults, or a bit of both.

I'm of the opinion we need to start any students who want to finish Hogwarts as at least third years and then move forwards at a rate of one week/year. In a month we will be out of Hogwarts.

After that time is over we need to evaluate whether or not we value Hogwarts enough to still give it a good deal of our attention and energy.

[Bonez]

I say we start as Hogwarts to develop characters and make friendships, then move on.

We start at Hogwarts only, with a few adult characters, then once the first group graduate, we move onto Ministry

That could work. Actually I like that plan a lot.

[Lucius Malfoy]

We start at Hogwarts only, with a few adult characters, then once the first group graduate, we move onto Ministry

I support this idea as well.

[Raglan]

seems the better option as well. Rather than splitting a game into two - which will be fine later on, but is risky to start with

[Pontifex Maximus]

We will probably have to have an opinion poll. I also don't want to alienate new players who want to go through the Hogwarts RP.

[M D]

Having half the players in each will kill the game, in my view

[Pontifex Maximus]

We also need art for these threads. Some of the old images were lost

[Pyrrhus the Molossian]

I personally want to go through Hogwarts. I think in the beginning the game should be Hogwarts based then branch out.

[Pontifex Maximus]

The Consensus so far seems to be that we start at Hogwarts and focus most of our attention on it before we move on to something else.

Found a few, I shall search for more!!!

1998- General event roll (not for this year, don't want a death eater resurgence right as the game starts ) 1998- Ministry action roll- 14- The Goblins demand their rights! The Goblins demand them now! (Can you appease them?) Malfoy- Head of department- 12- Same old, Same old. Paperwork, meetings, the occasional mysterious and unexplained death, life can sometimes be very boring when running a large part of the ministry...(no event) Department for the regulation and control of magical creatures- 43- Apparently not many people truly understand the dangers of dragons, indeed when an old lady from Keny first bought her dragon egg she did not* Dark Wizard- 19- Reports have reached you of Dark Wizard activity in Surrey, will you risk attempting to help them for potential reward before the Aurors arrive, or will you leave them to their fate? (Rp chance, reward for good rp and success will be 1**level 2 potions and 2 level 1, consequences for failure could be dire) Celsius-* Head of Department- 2- Inquests are always bad, especially when it's one of your good friends and employees who has messed up. You have a choice to make, do you fire the man, or give him another chance? (Firing the man will lead to a 10% salary increase for that year due to the Ministry being impressed with your ruthlessness, saving the man could lead to an increase in willpower, it takes courage to stand up to those who employ you. All this is based on good rp, bad rp leads to little or no reward Department for magical sports- 45- A problem has come up, the new Lightningstrike, a racing broom for kids, has been found to have a massive defect. Namely its ability to blow up should the rider reach speeds over ten miles per hour, it is up to you to deal with it... Magic- Head of house- 14- Students out of bed! Students out of bed! The warbling cries of Hogwarts aged caretaker reach your ears, be prepared to deal with three troublemakers from your house (Reward will be gained here for Rp) Teacher- 43- Someones slipped a sleeping draught in your morning pumpkin juice, falling asleep in class was never the best idea and you now*find yourself being discilpined for it, can you appeal to the headmaster nicer side...* Herbology- 22- No event Shadow- Death Eater- 5- You here reports, rumours even, Giants in Scotland, a remnant of the last wizarding wars.

(Risky rp, chance of death but payoff is the aid of * *D5 giant npc's who will aid you in fights) Sonke- Defence Against the Dark Arts- 8- You have permission, granted by the headmaster himself. Yes a trip into the Forbidden forest should provide you and your students an excellent classroom for a day or two. Watch out for the spiders though. (Rp opportunity to teach in the forbidden forest skill points awarded for rp, chance of dangerous creature attacks so all involved could end up gaining skill) Teacher- 1- No event Willster- Student- 1- Great Aunt Ethelbert dies leaving you 200 galleons and an old set of dress robes Ravenclaw- 50- Your natural prowess at Quidditch has been recognised and your Quidditch captain *is eager to sign you up to the first team, will you accept and play for your house...

Afterschool detention in the forest Ravenclaw- A troublesome question...will you gain access to the common room before Filch finds you out of bed (if they answer the proposed riddle correctly they can get in, if not they will deal with whataver punishment they receive) First year- In awe! You'd never seen a building as big as Hogwarts before, the sheer size amazes you. Indeed you are so lost in your thoughts that you wnader aimlessly away from where you should be going. Hmm, I wonder what that big tree is in the distance, looks like it almost has a...life of its own. (whomping willow encounter, chance of serious injury and a hospital visit or an increase in skill and the discovery of the secret passage underneath) Rosenkruz- Student- No event Slytherin- Hmm, an unattended present, might as well...claim it. (gain a level 2 potion but have to convince the presents owner that you honestly don't know who took it. That, or give it back to them) First year- The restricted section is not for first years, so why the hell are you here? That'll be a half term ban from the library i'm afraid Watercress- Student- Why the hell did they send you Puking Pastilles in the post? Of course the staff would find out...

(Rp involving the polishing of the trophy room, chance of finding something hidden in there) First year- A trip down a flight of sliding stairs and a visit to the infirmary makes you wander why you even attempted to get up to the girls dormitory. Can you explain your reasons to your head of year, or are you once more destined for detention? Barry Goldwater- Gryffindor- No event Student-*Spell backfires! That jinx was just to hard for you, you self esteem is ruined, just like the front of your robes (-1 charms for that year) First year- No event Severus- First year Student- 28- Who the hell rocked the boat? Sodden clothing on your first night and a close encounter with a giant squid have left you at the centre of attention for the sorting ceremony... (-1 Willpower) Slytherin- 14- +15 housepoints for slytherin! Don't you just love being taught by your head of house* Student- 35- Cauldron malfunction! The lovely smell of molten pewter fills the classroom, what the hell were you brewing? (50% chance of salvaging the remainder, otherwise cauldron lost) Aggy- Teacher- 23- *That damned student, this time he has gone to far, deliberately speaking out in class supporting death eaters, this is your chance to discipline him, act wisely... Head of House- 5- No event Potions master- 11- Someones been at your stores! Bloody thieving students always after the wolfsbane *(D50= percentage loss of wolfsbane rounded to the nearest whole number) Damien- Head of department-*Inquests are always bad, especially when it's one of your good friends and employees who has messed up. You have a choice to make, do you fire the man, or give him another chance? (Firing the man will lead to a 10% salary increase for that year due to the Ministry being impressed with your ruthlessness, saving the man could lead to an increase in willpower, it takes courage to stand up to those who employ you. All this is based on good rp, bad rp leads to little or no reward Law enforcement- Murder! It's plastered all over the muggle news, A bus carrying 20 people blew up in broad daylight, not one person survived. Eyewitness reports are stating that they saw large flashes of light cutting through the bus and you suspect the worse, Death Eaters. (Rp to deal with them and try and clear up the mess caused by it, la rise may be gained)
