Gryffindor is still in the lead as Alohomora turns one month old! Thanks to everyone for your activity and fun. :) OTMs will be sent to the poll once more in a couple of days. And the plot is about to have a very surprising twist. ;) You'll find out eventually. Just don't bother asking me; my lips are sealed.

Yay! The site will most likely be up by tomorrow afternoon! All we have to do is fix a few problems in the coding and add a few more boards, and everything will be ready! =)

Ok, It’s august 4th and the site is almost done, a few simple adjustments are being placed together, things are going up rather nicely and the board looks really good. We have a few new Staff members that are all wonderful people and are all working diligently to ensure that the site is up and running as soon as possible.

The Rules

Roleplay considerately with others --- We are here, as a community, to have fun. When roleplaying, you must always keep this in mind. First and foremost, you must never do anything that effects another’s character unless you are reasonably sure that they do not mind. This extends to non-battle situations as well. If someone’s character has a hood over their face, and their face is supposed to be hidden, do not make your character catch a glimpse of it without their consent. If someone is eavesdropping on a conversation, don't make your character spot them immediately or unrealistically. On the other hand, if there is a supposedly private conversation going on, don't make your character eavesdrop, unless you believe there is reason for it to be all right. In the end, I couldn't possibly give enough examples to cover everything – just try to use your common sense, and don't disrupt other people’s plans or stories, and treat their posts and they themselves with respect.

No flaming, profanity, racial slurs --- This rule is self-evident, and means just what it says. For those of you who are unaware, flaming is the term used to refer to insults, or saying anything with the intent of causing hurt.

No Rent-a-modding --- Many members, when they see rule breaking or double-posting or something they perceive to be bad in some way take it upon themselves to hand out chastisement. That is called rent-a-modding, and it is not allowed. Unless you are a Mod or Admin, you do NOT have the authority to try to enforce our rules, not even verbally. No being a tattle-tale, this is not kindergarten.

No Advertising --- Please don’t advertise other sites in the C-Box, in your signature, avatar, etc. Advertising is for the Advertising Board; NO WHERE ELSE!
Signature --- The largest size for a signature is 500x300. Nothing bigger or you’ll be stretching the page and you will be asked to resize it. It’s not a big offense, but it’s very annoying when the page stretches inches away from the website.

Punishments --- Depending on the severity of a rule-breaking, you will be given a strike. Three strikes earn you a week-long ban. Six earn a permanent ban. Other punishments may be administered at the discretion of the Mod council. Remember for every action there is a reaction.

Mod or Admin power abuse --- If you believe a Mod or Admin is abusing their position in some way, whether it is giving unjust punishments or acting as if certain rules do not apply to them, notify another Mod or Admin.

Creativity --- Please be creative with your. Not everyone can be pure-blood. Not everyone can be a werewolf or any of that nature. Please try and keep this in mind when plaything in this storyline. We want to see people trying to make something worth wild to play with. If you can not give a LONG account as to why this character got to be this or how this character got that then don't play it.

Sexual Activity --- There will be sexual role play, there will be cursing, there will be gore. But, even then, don’t go into detail with it all. Don’t explain what happened in detail; we have younger members here! If you’re about to have sex with another character, just say you did it. Nothing else. Thank you. =] Also, just to warn those poor, un-suspecting minds, put = AC at the end of the thread subject. [Adult Content]. Thanks again.

Click role play --- If you came on to this storyline looking to play with just one person or two and no one other, the moment we see this happening you will get one warning and then after that a PM saying thank you for your role play but you are no longer in this storyline. If you can not play with everyone then you can not play at all. It’s that age old saying ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it too’. Be true to your character just be active and play with others.

Drama --- Yep, this storyline will have a lot of drama in it, lies, the screwing of each others back, the hate, the love and then pain as well as laughs and screams all wrapped into one. So, please try not to mix up your characters’ life with your own life. For example, let’s say that Susie’s character is Lacy, and your character Is Bill. Furthermore, in an RP, Lacy called Bill a loser. By all means, Bill can get mad, but, remember, this is ROLEPLAY! That doesn’t necessarily mean that Susie hates you. Got it? Get it? Good. Now it goes without saying that you are the director of your own character, what your character does you made them do so be prepared for the old saying ‘with every action there is a reaction’. If your character goes after another characters lover it’s you playing your character not your character playing you, so when the drama unfolds and you can’t handle it don’t bring your sad whimpers about this or that to a Admin. We have other things to do then baby-sit. That also goes for the person that starts stuff.

Role Play experience --- I have seen many people that have only been playing for one or two years and they are amazing and I have seen people that have been playing for years that are amazing. We understand people give as good as they get or most do but if you cannot keep an average post length of one full paragraph then this is not the storyline for you.

Example :-Leaning to her broom, urging it to go faster, begging it to make the sharp turns the other, more advanced brooms made. Her heart beat with a rata-at-at against her chest frantic to make the score. The comet shot like bullet forward, forcing the wind to whip about her, robes flapping about as she squinted her eyes watching the play unfold around her. Thick waves of red hair pulled back from her angelic face while hazel eyes snapped this and that way.-

We expect people to put forth work into their characters not just feed off others like leeches. Please put effort into your character, try and be something and not just a one liner. We are not asking you to write a novel just put something into the role play. otherwise we will know you have not read the rules.

FIGHTING RULES

Everyone wants to win, it’s human nature to want to be seen, to be a winner and that is all natural and well and good but when fighting another person it’s gets a little tricky. Seeing as how not everyone can win rules, and systems have been set up to keep things as fair as it can get. With that being said we have come up with two ways for you to do battle. It’s the only way we can think up that would best suit everyone without making waves bigger then they really are… So the following rules and battle systems will be used in a battle to ensure fairness in each battle.

TURN-BASE-LODGIC (TBL)

Is the way that most people are beginning to fight now-a-days. It's based on the logical scenarios between two or more characters, and the abilities, counters, and dodges are all stated as attempts and it is up to the other whether or not he has to take it. But, logic comes in when he has to take it because his char cannot get out of it without distorting a part of his body or by some weird degree of astro-physics. It's won when someone dies to the other, or beats the tar out of them to immobility and shows pity.

The only thing I would also include in TBL is something about special powers.. that you have to take into account terrain and your characters clothing. Also your characters figure.. like a three hundred pound buff guy isn't gonna be as flexible or quick as a smaller thinner guy. Or that the thinner guy will probably not be able to throw the larger.

TURN-BASE-OUTPOST (TBO)

This is basically something that has to do with out posting of course. The rules are fairly simple. With turn based outpost your opponent attacks you with a post or how ever many he can type at one time, or you do the same, but it has to be logical within the states of your own character. You have to state a dodge that is more posts or equal posts to the attack in question, otherwise it counts as a hit. Then you post your attack after you have dodged, and the process keeps going until someone has died from a fatal hit of not being able to post everything.

Hint - When you have a thread with more than three people, find out who posts first, second, third, etc. This makes it less confusing and easier to find out what to do. You don't HAVE to do this, it's only a tip. (:

Celebrity Crush of the Week: Emma Watson <3

1998 - November

It has been a year since Harry Potter defeated Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts. The world has finally gotten a period of blissful peace after the many years of Voldemort's terrors. The Ministry of Magic in London has begun to bond with other countries, and has therefore created bonds with other Magical Schools.

Teams of Aurors have already captured every Death Eater and put them in Azkaban. The Ministry has ceased any uprisings, desparate to make the peace last for centuries more. The world seems to be getting brighter and brighter by the minute.

How long will this last?

Suddenly, armies of Muggles begin to destruct the Magical World. But, how did they get in? Aren't Muggles supposed to suddenly remember an appointment when they neared magical communities? There must be someone controlling them; someone has to be working behind the scenes... Someone who wants to revive the Dark Lord's prophecies.
