It's time for spring cleaning, which means a new board!

In order to keep from littering the forums with threads with smaller announcements, some of the less important announcements will go here! We will also do our best to update this post with the most recent announcements for a quick reference. :)

The Triwizard Tournament has Begun!

July 14, 2017 The Triwizard Tournament has officially begun! Later today we will be posting the first activity for you all to complete. Good luck to all three schools!

If you have yet to be assigned to a school, please post on the sign up thread as soon as possible, as you won't be able to earn points until you are assigned.

Hi everyone!

I have some good news and some bad news.

Good news is that we are ready to begin the champion selecting process! From now until July 5th, you will need to work as a group with your school to nominate up to 5 champions to enter their name into the Goblet of Fire. Threads will be going up shortly in each school's forum group so you can discuss who you would like to nominate. You will be able to ping me to the thread once your school has chosen their champion candidates. Please do NOT post them here!

On July 8th, the Goblet of Fire will choose 2 champions from each school's candidates!

Some things to consider when choosing champions:

Champions, once decided, cannot be changed.
Champions must be ACTIVE during the tournament. There will be challenges that will be champion-specific, so your champions will need to participate in order for your school to earn points.
A majority of the champion-specific challenges will be roleplay based. So choose a strong roleplayer!

For anyone who was assigned a school but missed their invite to their forum group, please let me or know as soon as possible and we will add you!

Please note that we will not be utilizing Prefects this term. While we hope that champions will take on a leadership role for their school, it is not strictly necessary or required. If your school would collectively like to appoint someone to maintain any bulletin boards, contests, etc., then it will be up to your school to decide.

Bad news is that we unfortunately need to postpone starting the tournament until July 14th. We had originally hoped to begin the tournament this coming Saturday, however that is no longer possible due to some unfortunate circumstances. July 14th, however, will definitely be the start date, rain or shine!

I am in the process of putting together a tournament information/FAQ/rule thread that I am hoping to have up soon. Until then, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Hi everyone! Everyone that has posted thus far has been assigned to their school. Please check this post for your assignment! Invitations to the school forum groups will be going out tonight and tomorrow night.
Anyone that posts after this, you will be assigned a school as soon as we are able (most likely over the weekend)!
Before you all go off and start creating your characters, I wanted everyone to know that special abilities have been suspended for the tournament. This means no one will be able to have a special ability during the event. So if you have been assigned to Hogwarts and your character normally has a special ability, you will not be able to use it to your advantage for the tournament. We would like everyone to be on an even playing field, especially our champions. If it will be an issue for you to play your character without using their special ability, we highly suggest creating a new character without an ability. Anyone caught using a special ability during roleplay activities that yield points will be considered cheating and will no longer be able to earn points from roleplay activities. Once the tournament is over and we return to Hogwarts, you will be able to use special abilities again.
Speaking of champions, keep an eye out for more information on the champion selecting process soon!

Just wanted to re-post this from TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT - School Preference/Sign Up so that it's where everyone can see!

May 3, 2017 GUYS!! Take a moment with me to wish a very happy birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY!!! Hope it is filled with good cake.

April 29, 2017 Hi everyone!! I hope you are doing well this fine (albeit hot) afternoon!

Over the next week, we will be taking steps to clean up our forums a little. We have created a group where we will be moving challenges, class lessons, clubs, workshops, etc., from previous terms. We're hoping this will help minimize the clutter and also make it easier for newer members to see what's currently going on. Joining the group is completely optional, and we will not be pinging the group for anything important (if at all).

We also are in the process of moving all of our images to a new hosting site and fixing some of our broken images, as it seems photobucket no longer works on Subeta.

As you can also see, we've created a new announcement board! The other one was getting quite large, so I felt we needed a new space. To recap/update from the last announcement on the previous board:

We still have not set a start date for the next term. We should have a start date soon, however!
My new laptop should be here Tuesday!! Yay!! So I should be able to do a little bit more soon.
If you haven't already, please submit your feedback on the following thread: Topic: Feedback - International Schools If possible, please have your feedback in by next week!
Just a reminder, any house changes should be sMailed to me before the beginning of the next term. Special ability registration should also be completed by then as well, which can be posted here: Topic: Special Ability Registration (6th Term)

If possible, please keep chatting on this thread to a minimum!
