About Me
I am a second year undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology which, as the name would suggest, is in Rochester, New York. I am studying Software Engineering – essentially, programming plus all of the processes, paperwork, etc. that I'll be doing in the real world. I have been programming in some capacity since I was eight, and once I discovered programming I simply never stopped writing code. Some of that code I've written was for this very website, and hopefully there will be a fair bit more of that in the near future.
I discovered programming in a game called ROBLOX, and coincidentally that is also where I first discovered roleplaying. One day I was exploring the forums, and noticed a roleplaying section. Curious, I took a look and I was instantly hooked. The content was mostly in the Free RP level, with a small amount of Casual tier games, but at the time even that was high quality content to me. Over the years my interest in the game faded, and although I continued programming after ultimately leaving the community, I did not continue roleplaying.
Years later, I gradually started wanting to get back into roleplaying. I began googling around, and after looking at a few different websites I finally decided that the Guild seemed to be the best of them all. I made an account on December 13, 2014, and started jumping into some games; I quickly decided on sticking to mostly High Casual, but eventually moved more towards Advanced as I realized that most of the games I was in were easily at that level anyway. This was right around the time that Mahz was working on rebuilding the website from the ground up, and after chatting with him for a while in the IRC during some site downtime I decided that I wanted to help.
I ultimately didn't contribute too much, but nevertheless I was the first (and so far, only) non-anonymous user to help Mahz with developing the website. As a reward, after he implemented the trophy system I was awarded the special Benevolent Cyberpunk trophy, which gives me a special userbit that looks like this:
After roughly a year and a half of being here, life started getting in the way more and more, and my activity became increasingly infrequent. Eventually, a little after the two year mark, I became completely inactive; I was in my senior year of high school, neck deep in college plans, and didn't have time for it anymore. I'd log in every now and then to check if I had missed anything, but until quite recently never stayed. I am back now, though, and hopefully I'm here to stay. I plan on getting back into roleplaying in the near future, and I also plan on starting to help out with the website once more. I've learned so much since when I first saw the code running the Guild, and hopefully I'll be significantly more helpful than I was back then!

You know, I had somehow completely neglected Luther's incentive to join the Death Eaters until now, and consequently his stance on Muggles.
Luther, being a Halfblood, had of course grown up with a Muggle father, Arthur. His mother, Lucille, had hidden her magic from him until Luther received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, and she had no choice but to tell him. Arthur was stunned, and soon "realized" that most of the bad things that happened to him were because of their magic (or rather, attributed everything to them instead of accepting things for what they really were) and grew increasingly resentful, and this left Luther with a poor view of Muggles. Him being sorted into Slytherin only further aided in his dislike against Muggles, as the children of Death Eaters indoctrinated Luther in the same beliefs that their fathers had taught them.
Shortly after returning home from his first year in Hogwarts, Luther was slapped for taking his wand out of his trunk by his intoxicated father, and in retaliation Luther set him on fire with Incendio, causing third-degree burns. He received a warning from the Ministry of Magic for performing underage magic, and soon after Luther and his mother moved out, and lived in Godric's Hollow for the duration of Luther's time in Hogwarts. Luther also adopted his mother's maiden name, Cunningham, in an effort to remove everything connecting him to his father. Immediately after finishing his final year at Hogwarts he became a Death Eater, and his view on Muggles remained the same until his sister's imprisonment. Not only did he realize that the Dark Lord was a monster, but he realized that just because his father was a terrible person, that didn't make all Muggles bad. Although at times he still has moments of Pureblood supremacy (old habits die hard), for the most part he has become far more tolerant and respecting of Muggleborns and Muggles alike.
I'll add all this to his bio for future reference, since it's something I should have thought of to begin with :P
EDIT: Also, Luther made an exception with his beliefs for his sister, for he cared too much about her to have negative feelings towards her. In his eyes, even though Muggles (and Muggleborns) were terrible people, there must always be good to go along with the bad, and Lilly was exactly that.

Chatzy would work. I've never even heard of it until now, but it definitely seems like something we can use.
EDIT: Well I should probably go have dinner now :P, I'll check in periodically on mobile if any of you post anything. Other than that, night guys!

That, or add each other on Skype or something. That way we wouldn't need to worry about if everyone is on the IRC or not.
Well, now that we have all of this sorted out (I think), when are we going to start? You said originally probably tomorrow or Sunday (well, today or tomorrow in Europe), is this still the case?
I think you misunderstood. Jig suggested Luther intercepting an owl and using it to deliver the message; even if the owl was capable of passing on the secret, it isn't a Secret Keeper, and wouldn't be able to do so.
@Jig, the reasoning behind it is that Luther had already saved one Muggleborn from a Death Eater raid, so he must have had a reason to take that risk, so its at least worth hearing out. Of course, if they get attacked they can just mass-Apparate back to the manor before anything bad happens, and if they don't they might just get a fairly high-ranking spy!
Also, your suggestion about only the hot-headed going would be both good and bad (I checked before I posted in case I got ninja'd again ;) ). Good because it makes sense, but bad because they would likely be much less fair to Luther than the others might be. Idk, that part isn't so much my concern so you guys can figure it out :P

But I only ninja'd you once, and you've now ninja'd me twice! I shall exact my revenge in due time >:)
EDIT: Ninja'd twice in a row. Curses.
