BREAKING NEWS: Cast list preview to go up this Saturday!

[goosemods]

So... your mods have been talking, and at this point the cast list is done, and hiding it from you is just torturing you pointlessly. As such, we'll be releasing the preview of the cast list Saturday, August 5, 10 AM MT. Please note:

• This will just be a preview. You cannot make a hold or submit an app for a new character until Aug 15.


• We'll put up a post for you to discuss the roster with one another. Try to be courteous! We can't enforce it, but if you see a fellow player really wanting one particular name and you snipe it from them, we'll be very disappointed in you. :(


• We are willing to consider some special requests (i.e. name changes, muggleborns/purebloods, transfer students, etc.), but please prepared for the answer to be no. We spent a long time balancing the roster to be exactly how we want it, and we hope you can respect that.

For everyone's reference, here's the procedure on pre-opening holds! ONE HOLD will be allowed per player until Sep 1, unless the player received special permission (see below). All pre-opening holds will last until Sep 1, with NO EXTENSIONS unless you're holding after Aug 25.

If this will be your fifth character, you may submit a hold before sending a fifth character petition to the mods.

The following players are allowed to make an early hold, starting Sunday, August 13 at 10 AM MT, provided they are holding a first-string Quidditch player. (These are players who won't have a Quidditch player, and don't already have a hold on the page.) If they are not interested in any Quidditch players, they can hold as normally on August 15.

Heather

Josie

Kas

Lyss

Madeline

The following players may app up to two characters between Aug 15 and Sep 1. (This is based on players who lost two non-sale seniors, and good activity with those seniors.) They are still limited to one hold at a time, with permission to hold again once they've submitted their first app.

Alex

Jenny

Kas

Katie

Kay

Meggie

QUESTIONS: quidditch early holders!

[quinning]

~i'm curious,~ of those of us who are able to hold a quidditch player early, who's planning to? (... aside from me. i don't need someone to tell me i plan to, but alex is probably going to do it anyways.)

[gonnabefamous]

I am not going to. I thought hard about it, I really did, but I can't make it work with the trash fire I already have planned out.

[caritasmitis]

Hell I wasn't going to go above two chars gets, but...sod it, I'm doing it XD

Re: QUESTIONS

[riledup]

Does the rule of "hold first, petition second" still apply to the monsters who are apping two characters prior to opening?

Re: QUESTIONS

[goosemods]

Yes! I'm still debating whether or not we'll keep the "you can't hold until you get approval" rule, since usually we respond fast enough that it doesn't matter, but before Sep 1, we'll allow you to hold your fifth before you've actually sent a petition. :)

HI SUP SO I went through and read and didn't see anything specifically spelling this out:

Is it feasible for a student to have been at Hogwarts last year on exchange, and then return for game year 2 and obtain a club president position, assuming they were a member of that club during the year(s) prior to them going on exchange?

Re: OTHER CHATTER

[stclair]

LMAOOOOOO LOOK I honestly debated not including you on that list because I know you're trying to keep to only four, but the criteria was... people who had two seniors and were really good about activity, and I didn't want you to feel left out. :(

Re: OTHER CHATTER

[evercreep]

I tried to be strong.

I tried to tell Marin I wouldn't get a 5th before January. Then it was before October. Then it was oh but wouldn't it be better for the story if he was there on Sept 1.

Re: OTHER CHATTER

[neattrick]

ooooh yes

Re: OTHER CHATTER

[cheerpowers]

Ahhhhhh I can't wait!

This is why reading comprehension is important, y'all

[fillefidele]

I opened up my laptop thinking SHIT I'M ON HOLIDAY ON THE 13TH THERE IS NO WAY I WILL GET MY APP IN ON TIME and then I re-read this post, to see that pre-opening holds are until September 1st, and I will be able to get online to post the hold comment on the 13th.

In short, I'm an absolute idiot and I look forward to seeing the list later today! <3
