Obviously I've been gone for a long time. And there are a multitudes of reasons, but I'm not going to get into that just yet.
This site is going under a big overhaul with a lot of changes to rules and the like -
-- Character limit: 10 characters. No exceptions. No extensions.
The reason being so people can develop those characters even more, not be spread so thin. I know that we all love to make a lot of characters, but I strongly believe that this will benefit everyone in the long run with their character development, plots and threads. If you currently have over 10 characters, you won't have to delete any. But know that you also can't make more at the moment.
-- If you delete or unsort a character, you must wait at least 2 weeks before making another one.
That's per character. So if you suddenly delete or unsort, say, 4, then you'll have to wait 8 weeks (approximately 2 months) before making another one. This particular rule will come into effect starting December 12th, so as to give you guys some time to get things in order first with the current changes. But all the other rules and changes listed here are in effect starting now.
-- Maximum 5 adults.
We are again going in a very student direction. We still have the main plot which mostly is for adults at the moment, but we are going to have a lot of sub-plots for students you can sign up for and participate in!
-- Only accepting years 1-3 for students.
The only exception is canons. That's all. Our time moves quickly and it's fun to develop students and grow them up! Also, a lot of the sub-plots will be catered to younger students. It's all about adventure, folks! Not everything is about late teen final loves and such. Also, in the years when we have the Dodecawizard Tournaments, there will be exception so we can have Champions, of course.
-- No more roleplayed out OWLs and NEWTs.
At least for now. Trying to cut down the time consuming and stressful things for myself.
-- No more Mini-Mods/Team Leaders.
It's not really necessary right now. Instead, at the beginning of term, we will have a poll to see the top 5 clubs that everyone wants to participate in. And those clubs will get threads. For Quidditch practices, anyone on the team can start one. And we will still have Captains - must be fifth year, but no requirement for a certain amount of members to be on the team first.
-- Classes still required for professors, not required for students.
And exams will be the same. However, they will be shorter. Only 1-2 questions per class.
-- We will be having an Activity Check soon.
Also if you decide to delete or unsort accounts from there, you won't be penalized.
-- We also are experiencing a TIME JUMP!
It's currently April now. We skipped three months. So feel free to post a one shot explaining what your character did in that time, if you wish. (: If you'd like, we could all have one thread where we all post one one-shot for each of our characters? Comment if you'd like this.
So yeah, this means exams like in a month. But like I said, they'll be super short and easy.
-- Grades buttons will be simplified.
It might take a bit, but I'm going to make generic ones that we can just change on the psd to change what term it says. Unfortunately the design won't be unique to every term, but this way it'll be way faster to get them out to you guys.
