Hey everyone! Just a couple of things to keep in mind!

- Our BUY ONE GET ONE application promotion for people who want a second character ends at the end of the month! We've had a lot of people take advantage of it, and you should too!

- Captain Applications for Quidditch close tonight! If you're interested and on the Quidditch team, please submit one! Remember to write to impress the community, they'll be voting on it!

- Please get in your ACTIVITY. You have until the end of the month for that!

- The Hogwarts Express Train will be on September 2nd, and school will start on September 3rd! Get ready, students and teachers!


NOW CLUBS.

We're bringing them back! And the way they work is simple, someone wants to start a club about literally anything (other than a shanking club) and they make a comment on this post, and anyone who wants to join just has to comment below it! You can join as many clubs as you want, and you can organize them however you want, whether you want one person to run it, or any club member! You could have a teacher help you out, or not! It's entirely up to you.

Some past clubs we've had include a Newspaper club, Dueling club, Music club, Drama club, Muggle Sports club, Book club, you could even make a Study club. This is one aspect of the game that is entirely player run, and the sky is the limit. It's a great chance for CR with people who wouldn't usually cross paths and it has untapped potential! Let us know if you have any questions, and most of all, have fun with this!

Hey guys! Summer is half way over and if this is your second summer then you know what that means! We open up the Quidditch/HoH/Prefect applications! Yes there is still a month until IC school starts but this requires time for polls and voting.

Some important things to note though.

- We have not made a choice on the status of Quidditch Announcers yet. We will get back to the come about this once we see how the numbers look.
- If you're apping a spot of responsibility aka Head of House or Prefect you are not allowed to put you hired so-n-so as a reason. It will be assumed you're not really serious about applying for said spot and we won't accept your application.
- Head of House, Head Boy/Girl and Quidditch Captains are voted on by the comm. So make sure you write to impress the masses and not just the mods.
- Quidditch Captain apps will be open after this first wave of spot apps.
- First years are not able to apply for Quidditch.

Please apply using this LINK! We have a special page for the beginning of the year apps.


Don't forget to hand in your ACTIVITY CHECK for the month of July!

The last log for camp will be up some time early tomorrow as well.

Expect a mod post on August 1st about something.

A big important post with information!

1. Teacher apps will open at MIDNIGHT EASTERN STANDARD TIME on June 13th. So at 11:59 PM EST on the 12th, they'll be closed, and then open at 12 AM. We will make a post and a plurk saying that they are open. We have had a fair amount of apps recently and have 40 students now! That means we will accept five teacher apps. If you're reading this comment about dancing pants. Once we get five teacher apps, we'll post/plurk about them being closed. Now, to make it fair, next teacher app round, we will be using a different time zone that is not North American.

2. Now, for some of our players, this will be your first summer in the game. We'll be honest with you, summer is extremely slow for plots and events. No one is grouped together anymore and it's harder to do things that will deal with everyone. We have a few things planned, but summer activity is mainly based on what the players plan. We have Recap soon, so please use it to plan some plots for summer. If you do make any plots and they sound violent or questionable, you must use the Plot Request Post.

3. Summer starts on the 16th! that means your students are out of school. That means NO MAGIC OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL IF YOUR CHARACTER IS UNDER THE AGE OF 17!

4. Yes, even you. We don't care who you are or what your canon is. HP canon overrides this like no tomorrow. This goes for all countries your character could possibly live in. Your should also comment about ducks fighting crime. Ministry connections don't count either. If under age magic is seen in a post or a log, you will get thread jacked with a letter from the ministry kindly informing you of the laws and that you will be expelled from school if it happens again. If it does happen again, your character will be expelled and guess what, we don't keep expelled characters in game.

5. No magic outside of school if you're under the age of 17.

Hello Sorting Hat, Kris-mod here with an announcement! After much anticipation, we have opened up applications for ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. Not only Original Characters, but also Canon Original Characters. Ever wanted to play Foxface from the Hunger Games? Well, now you can!

We suggest everyone check out what constitutes a Canon OC, because several characters that we have now would have needed to use the revised application. As another example, Ancestors from Homestuck, or people playing Persona Protags (without using manga/anime canon) would fill out this new application. The application isn't terribly different, but we want to see the thought process on how people form their characters.

Accordingly, most of the other info and rules pages have been updated, so we recommend you take a gander when you have the chance.

Lastly, 4TH WALL IS THIS WEEKEND! Tell all of your friends, and your characters can look forward to doing some broom cleaning at Hogsmeade.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Hey guys, I come to you with upcoming events!

June 1st to 3rd will be less fluffy and feather in the castle because a Second year had a wand malfunction during Transfiguration. All of the pets and animals of Hogwarts will suddenly become human! So get ready to wake up with someone in your bed if your pet sleeps with you. They'll have basic speech capabilities, but you'll notice that they still do pet things, like get your mail, sit on your homework when you need it.

June 9th & 10 will be Hogsmeade related, but not with a trip to the village. The school will be doing broom repair for the villagers, this is to raise money for the library and hospital wing. This means people from the village get to come up to the castle. Who will play these villagers? ANYONE YOU TELL! This will be a two day fourth wall event for the game. The main focus of this event is to get people to take a look at the game and possibly join it. Teacher apps are still closed, so let them know about students being open.

June 11th to 14th are IC exams.

June 15th is the closing feast and the year end DANCE, so break out the party shoes and don't spike the punch (seriously). It'll be fun and awkward, teachers are free to get jiggy with it as well. START LOOKING FOR DATES, THERE ARE POSTERS AROUND THE CASTLE.

June 16th the train leave to take everyone back to London.



NOW IMPORTANT STUFF.

Go friend the mod plurk for easy contact of the mod team. It's Modofthehat!

Go fill your AC out if you haven't. It's due by the end of the month and right here.



Go check out the calender page and suggest some events in the comments!

SO, I realize I didn't send out my periodic activity reminders like I usually do, which is totally my bad, but I also feel like I need to point out that it's ultimately your own responsibility to keep track of your activity and get it in on time! Of course we mods are always here to help, but we can only do so much.

THAT BEING SAID. There are a looooot of people who still haven't submitted their activity! You're lucky it's Leap Year because otherwise half of you would have failed AC this month! But as it is you've got about 13 hours, so get it in get it in get it in!
