I thought it was grand c:

A question for the GMs; the Slytherin Quidditch team have stated their demands, but Roze's group and Pearl's group are in seperate compartments. So, who exactly are they addressing while only stood in the one compartment? It's just a bit confusing, is all. Ah, another question. I think I've asked this before, on the last role play, but I'm hoping that I can explain my criticism a bit better this time; it's in regards to your head of house for Ravenclaw. I'm unsure as to why you changed it from Flitwick to Binns, but the latter would be a terrible head of year. It's a post that requires the person to be able to listen to any problems that any member of the house may have; not only does Binns not know he is dead, but he can't remember the names of his students. How on earth is he supposed to help them with a problem? I also highly doubt the other staff of the school would appoint him as a head of house, simply for the reasons I've mentioned above. If you could perhaps justify these reasons, that would be great. :)

I cannot answer second question as I am not that fluent in the Harry Potter original information so that will have to be told by someone else. :) I know that everything has been thought of carefully and has reason behind it and not just throw together randomly! As for your first question- the team has said "the first two carts are ours" the team is demanding both of the cars out- I think its two separate groups of the same team. That was just my take on it though.

[TheHangedMan]

Back, but I've only got a few hours :D

[Eyeris]

Sorry. The car mistake is mine! Give me a few minutes to get home and correct everyone!!

[Eyeris]

OKAY I"M SO SORRY ROZE! I detested Rozies name from that post. I'm sosososososososorry. Clarifications: In the First Post of the OOC at the bottom I have updated and posted the compartment chart. My original intention was for the Slytherin Quidditch team is currently occupying compartment 1 and have spilled out of compartment one, and are now ONLY addressing the people incompartment 2. However they are being loud enough to be heard by others in the nearby compartments. SO THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR POST! THE FIRST, Tim, IS DIRECTLY ADDRESSING COMPARTMENT 2 THE SECOND, Wade, has brought the fight to COMPARTMENT 3! THE THIRD, isn't saying anything anyway, and she's standing in the middle. ***Both WADE and TIM are being LOUD enough to be heard in both compartments, and even the other compartments! I think what happened is when I was writing I mixed up Moirah, and went back to edit, and it wound up making Rozie's place wonky. Sorry. I will do better to keep all maps and charts updated on the first ooc post for easy reference. Please check these, and please correct me when I'm wrong or something is confusing! ~~~whew~~~ Now to again address the head of house Ravenclaw. YES, the choice is controversial. YES your characters can notice this in game as much as you are now noticing it out of game! If you are in Ravenclaw might your conversations with Binn's be awkward? Yes! Everything you mentioned is likely going to affect how things are in the game. I'm really glad you guys are noticing things like this even before the games has started! ^_^ Yet, that is the choice that was made by the Headmistress of Hogwarts. He has been head of Ravenclaw for a few years now. I love saying yes, but as for further explanation of the choice I will have to say 'no'. Why not? Spoilers! Here are a list of things anyhow... 1) There isa reason. For certain pieces of information and plot-points my favorite motto is 'find out in game,' or 'FOIG' as we used to say in my old role-playing circles. 2) Throughout the HP books there have been MANY questionable hires at Hogwarts! Pretty much EVERY DADA teacher was a terrible idea for one reason or another. YET these people were teachers because of plot and circumstance. One of the most questionable yet least questioned hire is Filch. Who's idea was it to hire someone without magic to be the only guy to clean up after adolescent wizards? It doesn't sound very effective... yet, Filch is Filch. 3) Our story takes place many years after Harry & Co. graduate. Expect a few changes! 4) Because... um... we said so! Any other questions? OR have I made any other posting blunders? I won't do it again, I promise ;-;!

SORTING S . O . R . T . I . N . G SORTING!

This post is about sorting! I'm going to send you all a PM. So that we can start a little PM thread and play out that little conversation between you and the hat. Then I'm going to compile it into ONE BIG POST so that when sorting time happens we can post it and move on. I might not PM you all at once, I'll spread it out over the week! So don't fret if you don't hear from me right away!

[Apoalo]

Oooo, cool.

[Eyeris]

Apo, make sure you go read my plot correction thread again, I had to edit it a few times for clarity!

[TheHangedMan]

BACK PEOPLE!

[TaliPaendrag]

I don't think that Magnus is in the same cart as Dani, Pearleane, and Peter, Eyeris. I think that he's with Jake and Roze and whoever else may be in that compartment. :3

[TheHangedMan]

How do you think I should do my next post? If I've read things right, then one SLytherin Team dude is shouting at Moirah, yes? :3

[Avanhelsing]

I have been waiting for you to post for awhile now...

[TheHangedMan]

Sorry about that, had school and all ^_^ - so how do you think I should go about my next post?

[Avanhelsing]

Just post whatever you think. I had Jake give him a Bertie Botts bean so that could be there too. I was waiting for everyone in the group to post before I did.

[MissCapnCrunch]

Happy Valentines Day!!

_{I LOVE YOU ALL}

[MiddleEarthRoze]

Thanks for answering my questions - and apologies for being a faithless heathen. :)

[Eyeris]

I shall correct the chart! Thanks!
