I'd like to make it clear that I was mainly referring to the whole discussion about wizards using physical violence, which I feel was unnecessary to begin with as it isn't really that big of a thing when compared to previous discussions like the animagus. If I have offended you, then I do apologize.

Don't worry, it's not just you. I feel like not a lot of people read my debates which I support with facts and instead pick the easier choice. I feel that many people do not take what I say into account which really, honestly, pisses me off. And I'm the type of person who needs people to know when I'm not okay with a certain thing. Maybe the physical violence was a bit unnecessary, but if you are going to bring a point up, you should have a source you take it from. Or at least that's my debater mindset XD

EDIT: Maybe I worded that wrong...not the easier choice...but the fun choice? Which is cool and all, but it can be easy to do and gets boring quickly. Having character struggle and suffer is a lot more fun...that's why I think a lot of writers are sadists XD

I know that the mention of a potential plot line was brought up in the very beginning (not involving Voldy cause he as dead as a door-nail. Does the GM have anything in mind if he does want one to begin with? If not we could hold a vote for a plot-line and discuss possible options. I myself am up for anything :)

One that I think would be cool would be a war between magical creatures and wizards since magical creatures are usually shunned and treated unfairly and basically like shit. However, I'm not sure if this was resolved at the end of the Harry Potter series but it's too late to research it right now. Does anybody have any other ideas?

ACACIA FOR DARK LORD 2014!

...kidding, kidding....probably~ ;P

Seriously though, I could see that being an interesting plot point. I don't think it was ever resolved, but I could be wrong xP
Anyways, I'm off for the night. Nighty night all~

I agree with this statement xP

i knew there was something off about Dumbledor lol!

Did you know that J.K. Rowling decided that Dumbledore is gay? True fact~
She also says that she should've put Harry and Hermione together, which I personally agree with. You don't marry your best friend's sister. That's just wrong.

Anyways, I'm off to bed. G'night.

Naturally, I'd be pretty pissed off too if something I said wasn't taken into account. Again, I apologize if I've irritated you, that was not my intention. I simply didn't want for their to be constant discussions, arguments, or whatever someone would like to call them because of their potential for causing unnecessary strife among RPers. I don't mind a few discussions here and there, but when they're repetitive...
Still I see where you're coming from, and I don't exactly disagree with you regarding the need to stick with the canon.

Literally been trying to sleep for forever -.- I'm insomniac.. Anyways I like Apoka's idea. I'm not sure it was resolved either (though like I've said many times I haven't read the entire series in a while so my memory's a little foggy) Also, I don't think that they really went in depth with the magical creatures discrimination topic...

For the record I'm here. I may not post a lot because either i'm not on a laptop, at an event where i can't post, or something has come up. But i read everything posted on here, and read every discussion about what people are talking about. I respect and understand everyone's point of view, and i take it in to consideration in my head, and try to make it work for everyone. But i feel like the discussing is being used as i want you to change your view point, and as soon as that happens, "nah, nevermind. We can keep it.", which brings everyone back to square one.

I never intended this to be a strict, hard core canon only Harry Potter RP, I said that many times in the interest check hahaha. And i want you guys to know that if you have any big problem like the Animagus you should let me know, and I'll do the "only 6th and 7th years can TRY and do it"

I read all the books too, but i'd be lying if i know everything by heart haha. There have been points of violence. Some wizards might be against it, and some might not care, because they have had muggle parents, or have grown up in muggle towns. In Order of the Phoenix Harry even made threatening gestures towards Dudley at the park without his wand (granted he takes it out haha), but its just natural for a human to wanna punch stuff!!! hahaha

And keep in mind this is yeeaaarrs after the Harry Potter era haha. It may not be the same since Harry was 11-18, its actually really hard to say what is what, because we just don't know, and that's what i was enjoying about this RP. Not everything was canon. The spell making sounds interesting, the animagus sounded cool too, it could be more common, or there happened to be a case where he/she was born with a talent for that, you know?

All I'm saying is that I think we are getting a bit too annoyed with the small stuff, and we gotta learn that this is a site for imagination haha. It absolutely is a Harry Potter RP because of Hogwarts, and the spells, and the rules it set, but we shouldn't be afraid or mad to bend them a bit, right??

As for a plot, It looked like people already have one! Acacia has a plan, and so does Casimir (sorry if i spelt that wrong :I), and right now, I do have some sort of a plan with FoxNews, since he's an Auror, and before that i had a plot to use when we have played a few matches of Quidditch, and gone to some classes, and stuff like that. We've already seen the dark stuff in HP, but we rarely got the chance to see the actual student life!

Again, if you have a plot that you wanna bring up, just send me a PM, and I'd love to hear your guys' ideas, because its your RP too!

And i just made a group of Heads of Houses and Rumiko made one for our Headmaster which I'll use, I'll post them on the first OOC page, or right here soon! haha

Hmm although a war between creatures and Wizards would be interesting it wouldn't be much of a war... Wizards would be able to destroy most opposition without much a problem based solely on their numbers.

say what you want about Voldemort, but he was a boss at this lol

Riiight, I've been meaning to ask this, so before I go to bed I have a question. Speaking of heads of houses and such, Mind if I make a few NPC's that do Acacia's dirty work? Her henchmen, sort of like Crabbe and Goyle.

I finally figured out who Acacia reminds me of, at least somewhat...

I'll give you a hint, the character I am thinking about is usually said to resemble black swiss cheese :p.

I believe that is ok Rune, makes sense, limit it to like 2 or 3 main ones though

Absolutely! I made some NPC's of my own... its quite lonely at the male Gryffindor party:(

Alrighty. I'll have something up tomorrow maybe. Nighty night all!~

I have a minor plot with the new DATDA Professor

I'd love to hear the idea Rumiko haha!

And i updated the first post of the OOC to show the Headmaster and Heads of the Houses If you're too lazy, I'll post it here too

And I'm gonna post the Head Master's and Head of Houses' CS sheets just to have some background on them. I might take control of them if they need to be brought up, and i'll make it clear its them talking and what not haha

HEADMASTER (Thanks for RumikoOhara for this CS!)



HEAD OF HOUSE

Gryffindor: Thanks again Rumiko for this aweosme idea!



Slytherin:



Other: Teaches Potions

Hufflepuff:

Ravenclaw:

"Casimir has a plan."

Wait... he does? What has this little extension of myself been doing while I'm not looking >.>?

No but really, I actually have no plans as of now, save for the Dark Arts thing I was planning out with Soul. Haven't seen him around though. That, and just... do stuff in response to other stuff I guess. I dunno.

I'm here.

Sorry for the random leave. I kind of took a break, and when I came back, I was lost so I took another prolonged break from this RP.

Has anything really noteworthy happened?

Haha well i was talking about the dark arts stuff, it sounded interesting haha... maybe that could be a plot or something haha, a dark magic spell/jinx/hex/other gone wrong! dun dun dun!

These sound more like side plots than a main plot. What I meant for plot was something that everybody was involved in, one way or another. But you're the GM.

Well, my main plot was just being students at Hogwarts... I'm sorry if that sounds boring and lame haha, but i'm a sucker for fantasizing what it would be like to actually be there type of things. I do that with Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson and Camp Half-Blood, and the Avengers, stuff like that hahaha.

But i do have a plot in mind that i've been adding to since the RP started, and once i actually have a clear idea on what i want to do, I'll run it by you guys. It'll be awesome to have everyone involved, and everyone having their own jobs in an adventure!
