Scand, did you have any ideas about a trips-to-hogsmeade kinda thing?A town called Erming will serve for that in the School Dats thread.

Personally So far I think things are going pretty well even though some people may have taken a bit of leeway it helped deepen the characters; that my 2 cents for what they're worth

Oh, I agree for the most part. However, while I don't favor doing anything about it besides saying, "be careful in the future," I also recognize that it is a bit of a dangerous path to let things like that go unchecked.

Also, a trip to Erming would be great, seeing as Vex needs a few things :p Unfortunately he isn't one to have much money :(

Sorry as for the teachers you cannot design them for your own preferences as I am desigining my own, in my head, which will be in the story line latter.

Hmmm... well thats going to create a bit of a fuss considering we have already created three teachers (and are about to create some more for the new classes). We can't exactly ignore them or erase everything that has happened...

Well so far we have O'Tool (Potions) and Greensworth (Defensive Magic) and we have a Hippy Charm Teacher who's name escapes me; we kind of needed them to move the RP along how you account for that is up to you ;but everyones liked them so it might be nice to keep them around and just have the others how you want.

I can understand you wanting to keep control as it were but then you at least need to do something to give us something to work with or you leave us with just needing to make shit up; you'll be off in ten minutes and we don't know when you'll be back hardly seems fair to hold all of us back when things are moving at a decent pace with story telling and no ones god modded but we've created characters we need to keep the story moving and so far...this has been a good thing

Err... well, I need to go back through the threads and check on things for the thread, which could take more the twenty minutes, so I don't know if it is worth it to do now, but I'll make a little list from my memory:
1) Approving of characters
2) Placing of newly-approved characters
3) Testing for pre-approved and newly-approved characters
4) Rulings on some spell thoughts, including an unnamed spell used ICly that caused everyone else's wand to fire a stunning spell on a single person.
5) Answer about what we are supposed to do in the School Days thread if we already have The New School Year thread.
6) General okaying on how we are handling the schooling (i.e. teachers, classes, schedule, etc.)1. Taking care of it.
2. They have to post, got Zoingo's character though.
3. I cannot test anyone right now, no posts lol.
4. Such a spell is impossible as your basically forcing everyone to fire their own energy, which will require a controlling curse to do, which at this level in the training of an student will be imposible and I am the only one with the power to do that.
5. Schools in essentially an expansion of the New Year Begins thread due to be wanting to cut down on the number fo pages for each core IC thread.
6. Will handle classes later, scheds I do not care how you make them as you can chose the times you want. At there are seven periods a day at 7: 30, 9:30, 11:30. 2: 30, 4:30, 6:30, 8:30. For each class and they are each an hour long, though to note classes are open on Saturdays and you only have to attend each class four times a week. Teachers cannot be mad up though as for now refer to them as proffesor or teacher, as for the class experinces you will have to cointue rping as it is as I will not be able to address for three and a half more days.

Time for me to go to.:(

*nods* Agreed; see I'm far more free form as long as its not a blatent Godmod; I favour personel freedom; the GM is there to influlance not control every detail everyone does; Granted Scand probably has an idea specifically how he wants this to play out; but making up little things that have no real huge effect on the big picture but might effect character relationships on a smaller scale is fine with me.

and if he asks nicely Rei could buy him stuff :P.

I will let it go for now, though once I have enough time I will crete all the teachers in accordance of how things ar going and how they are looking.

Well So far everyones had a good time with all the teachers we've made up so; you might want to include them in whatever final draft you come up with. I'd just rather us not have to refer to them all as "The Genderless; Generic Professor had no unique qualifying features or indentifying characteristics at all; in fact it was a plank Canvas like being taught by a balled Action Man doll that walked and talked; his skin tone was translucent; hair colour again translusent his voice was generic and robotic - all of these things had no been set by the moderator yet"

4. Such a spell is impossible as your basically forcing everyone to fire their own energy, which will require a controlling curse to do, which at this level in the training of an student will be imposible and I am the only one with the power to do that.

I misexplained/misremembered what happened. Basically, people were in Defensive Magics class practicing stunning and shield spells. Then one of the kids used a spell that caused other wands to twitch sligtly just as they were firing, causing the spells to redirect.

5. Schools in essentially an expansion of the New Year Begins thread due to be wanting to cut down on the number fo pages for each core IC thread.

Oh... It'll probably help keep everything organized and making sense if we keep things that occur together in the same thread though.

6. Will handle classes later, scheds I do not care how you make them as you can chose the times you want. At there are seven periods a day at 7: 30, 9:30, 11:30. 2: 30, 4:30, 6:30, 8:30.

Teachers cannot be mad up though as for now refer to them as proffesor or teacher, as for the class experinces you will have to cointue rping as it is as I will not be able to address for three and a half more days.

Well, so far most people did two classes in the morning and I said there were four more in the afternoon... so I guess most people could just say they had one of the morning periods free.

However, I'd like it to be noted that while there are 7 periods a day, which are taken 6 days a week, that make 42 total periods... if each is taken four periods per class, then my character with 11 classes can't do it seeing as that would require 44 periods. On top of that, I made an IC comment that Advanced Curses met everyday becaue of its level, etc... which would mean I have 46 periods by your method in only 42 slots.

I'd also like to comment on the "only have to attend four classes per week." I take that statement to mean that the class might meet six or more times, but you only have to attend four of them. I think it'd make more sense if you made a set number of periods per classes that existed per week that students had to attend... simply for structure's, organization's, and logic's sake. I think it'd cause a bit of a confusion if there were periods we didn't have to attend, plus students would miss a bunch that was taught in the periods they weren't there...

Heheh... not exactly Vex's way... but then if Rei were to buy it for him without him asking or knowing, that is another story. However, as I will reveal during the trip - if the item can be found in a store there - it won't be a cheap one, so make sure it makes sense for her to buy it (i.e. she has bunches of dough or something else), because a student spending that type of money freely would be strange if they had only an average amount.



@Scand: Adding on to the thing about the teachers, we are about to continue classes (new ones for most people that have not had teachers created yet), and seeing as you are disappearing again, this could get kind of annoying/slow/upsetting/crapola...

Anyway, it'd be useful if Scand could get on for a while (or I can talk on MSN/AIM) to sort this all out. Because leaving us to RP and also wanting certain things doesn't work out well.

well theres a reason she and her mother calls it the "Family Business"; if you've ever seen Dresden files Rei's Family are kind of like that hiring out magical services "No endless purses, love potions or other forms of entertainment" it pays well enough that Rei dosn't want for much she can buy whatever she wants but likes to keep things simple; buying something for a friend however; Vex or Nicole is something Rei would do quite happily.

Yeah I know its a boarding School; My mom went to Catholic School and even they didn't have classes past 5:30pm; and yeah Scand wanting certain things fair enough I guess; it is his RP after all but leaving us to Free-Form then complaining when we do is kind of...annoying

Well, that would solve that... but it'd still be a matter of her realizing what he wants and purchasing it for him without him telling her or her asking or him knowing she is intending to do it.

Also, I may decide to put another obstacle in the way... something along the lines of the owner refusing to sell it (for whatever reason) or the store not having it, etc.

Or we could just say that the day was a bit wacky because it was the first (or second) day of school.

The teacher rule definitely will be kind of debilitating, which is why I am hoping Scand will get back on today after swimming. However, you could proceed to class and just not identify anything about the teachers... just say what happened in class or say "The professor said..." Also, you can use teachers from the first three or four classes that we created if you haven't taken that class yet.

Nueve Italia
01-08-2007, 06:06
Not that I know of, but then again it wouldn't be too much of a stretch ...

However, I'd have to say such a character would likely be named and therefore be restricted at the moment under Scand's rules.

Although, you could state actions about "a ghost", leaving the description vague and no name attached to said poltergeist, and get away with it for now if you so want to.

Also, "All the things are proceeding as they were planned out to be and the Role Play is proceeding Smoothly and on track" is a mouth-full ...

Invasion as in a Pure Blood Fanatic being able to freeze every single person in time, assert her image into the school, and give a dark object to someone of her choosing. A little powerful/freekish to me.

Plus, I don't think you could just make an object appear if you weren't there.

From the post...I don't think she froze time but it just looked like that to Kira maybe some strange inner Bullet Time happens in storys all the time where 'time apears to slow for the main character' but every one else gets normal speed it wasn't really made clear but I think thats what she was trying to do. I might be flat out wrong but thats how I took it.

and it isn't to much of a strech that once Beatrice 'projected' to her daughter she could use that to Appirate the item to her. plus Hogwarts security was breached many many times during the book; Sirius Black being one of the more blatent ones; and the Book is just a book its up to the user to use the information in said book or not so the Book is neither light or dark; it just is.

The Deputys Opinion is - the principle sounds interesting; but it could do with a bit more expansion so describe more.

And nobody noticed her screaming mom and running through an image of her? Me thinks that as she is a known Blood Fanatic Inquisitor, the teachers would do something...

Also remember that Dumbledore knew Sirius was innocent. And still, nobody could apparate in or out of Hogwarts.

Invasion as in a Pure Blood Fanatic being able to freeze every single person in time, assert her image into the school, and give a dark object to someone of her choosing. A little powerful/freekish to me.

Plus, I don't think you could just make an object appear if you weren't there.The head masters of the school are regarded as wizard and witches are regarded, and are, amongst the great magic users of this world and the only means by which one can contact people inside the school is by normal means as the head masters do not want outside influences inside of it as it is essentially a self run school and the magical government has no real power over it, save to protect it and to approve new teachers.

As for the book; I'm fine with it but its not my call thats something you'll have to come to a compromise with Scand over; as for the Plot well there was always a plot its just now characters have formed groups of friends and know each other a little bit which helps further that plot along.

I'm actually really surprised Rei didn't catch immediately on Kabukicho and Yoshiwara. They're both really famous in Japan, and even more famous in Tokyo. Kabukicho and Yoshiwara are the most famous red-light districts in Japan, fairly well-known in most of Japan, and extremely well-known in Tokyo. There are just as many residents in Tokyo who don't know what they are than are residents in London who don't know what Big Ben is. Course, it's pretty possible she didn't hear it, or kinda heard it and thought she heard wrong, because you'd normally think such a comment would set off a reaction...

I figured Beatrice used a curse which basically brought her to near death, allowing her soul to leave her body temporarily and with the characteristics of a ghost/poltergeist. The curse could take tremendous amounts of magic and energy to create, almost killing her. Now she'll be weak and unable to make any moves for some time.

Or she's just too polite to say in front of everyone; she might not like you that much but she isn't mean enough to call you the "Daughter of a whore" in the middle of a group of people that really don't like you ;) or was too surprised/Distracted by the cooking thing

DMG is reluctant to rule on it because its Scands RP and Scand's Made clear this is his RP and that we're not to do anything that controducts him so basically DMG, NI and Me could rule one way but then Scand can come back rule something completely different and Void/Retcon a bunch of decent RP. like he almost did/Still might do with the Teachers we created. its not that we're skirting around the issue so much as the mods of this RP don't really have any power save for Scand

I thought he would only be gone for a week.

Yes, and I was wondering exactly when he would be back. You know how it is easier to say a week sometimes when it'll be six days... So I was wondering if that meant today or tomorrow (the latter I think).

I'll just use O'Tool since she's already established; unless I need to create a new one

Well, teachers only teach one subject (pretty generally). So, you can still use O'Tool if someone is taking her class next, but most people will be taking other classes this afternoon, so we will need new teachers... and Scand has allowed us to create two more, so I will let you create one of them for say Magic Theory (second period after lunch).

What about the other teachers that have already been created? Are they still controlled by their makers until Scand approves/disapproves of them?

We can still use them for now.

I'm willing to edit my post to where she finds it in her room or something as opposed to what I already posted. Or I could just go in depth as to how she did it and how much a toll the spell took on her.

As Ani said, I can't really say anything about it. If it were me (and it sounds like Scand is the same), the way you described it wouldn't be allowed. But I can't tell you whether Scand wants you to edit it or not... couldn't hurt though if you want to (as long as it fits everyone elses posts). Something like it had been secretly packed in her bags and is bewitched to get out and find her.

One note I want to make is that the head master of the school is himself a pleasent person, though stern and tends to remain isolated in study most of the time. Yet, as a result of this he is one of the most learned wizards of the world and is also one of the most powerful, though there are a couple that can defeat them if there are to duel and the Lod Inquistor Herrold is one of them.:p Though, one thing I wish to state is that I will make a connection between the head master and Herrold, to state though I plan on making it that the Head Master is against right out of school marriages between people born in the magic world and those that only recently joined it, no matter what their birth is, due to the fact he dislikes the fact that the people who have only recently joined the magic world to attend school should be able to experince the wonders of the magical world before they decide to settle down. To make it clear though this is more out of his own love of his students in a parental way then out of a pure blood point of view as the Head Master views all the students as his own children in a way and will defend them to the death if there was ever an attack upon the school.

6. Will handle classes later, scheds I do not care how you make them as you can chose the times you want. At there are seven periods a day at 7: 30, 9:30, 11:30, 2: 30, 4:30, 6:30, 8:30. For each class and they are each an hour long, though to note classes are open on Saturdays and you only have to attend each class four times a week. Teachers cannot be mad up though as for now refer to them as proffesor or teacher, as for the class experinces you will have to cointue rping as it is as I will not be able to address for three and a half more days.Here is the schedule for the classes as for advanced classes each one is held at 8:30.

8:30 am

12:30pm - Lunch

13:30pm
14:30pm
15:30pm
16:30Pm

which would end classes at 5:30pm and gives 8 Clases a day and gives students some free time after classes to do stuff before they have to sleep for the next day. remember they are teenagers and they're not going to get up go to class's and then go staight to bed which they'd have to if you were having classes up to 9:30pm at night.

However, as I have already explained...
Eight periods per day * Six days per week = 48 periods per week
Vex has 11 classes * 4 required periods per class = 44 periods per week, plus I said, though I can retract, that advanced curses meets every day... so that is 46 of the 48 periods... meaning he has only 2 free periods per week and thus will almost always have classes at those night periods.

I understand that Vex has a particularly difficult schedule, and it should be RPed as such, but this way makes him actually have classes from waking to sleeping... (classes end at 9:30, lights out an hour later).

Vex has 11 classes * 4 required periods per class = 44 periods per week, plus I said, though I can retract, that advanced curses meets every day... so that is 46 of the 48 periods... meaning he has only 2 free periods per week and thus will almost always have classes at those night periods.

I understand that Vex has a particularly difficult schedule, and it should be RPed as such, but this way makes him actually have classes from waking to sleeping... (classes end at 9:30, lights out an hour later).I will move it up to eight, my only compromise.
DMG
08-08-2007, 02:35
Upps... I just realized that my initial argument (which I misquoted) is that you only have seven periods per day. Thus there are forty-two class periods per week and Vex has 46 periods for his classes that he has to take.

I.E. Impossible.
The Scandinvans
08-08-2007, 02:52
Here is the new schedule.

8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 1:00, 2:30, 4:00, 6:00, 7:30.
DMG
08-08-2007, 03:48
And classes are one hour long?

Is dinner supposed to be from 5-6, or at 8:30???

DMG
08-08-2007, 04:41
Right-o then.

Another question... I know you want this whole thing to be about more than just the school, so my question is about how much [long] are we going to be writing about classes. Not that I am complaining. Perhaps in the future we will switch to more of other events, and stuff about classes will come in little snippets and references. Just thinking out loud here, not sure what I mean or where I am going, or if I want to go there.

Also, Scand, you might have answered this already, but have you thought about when the first school trip to Erming will be?

DMG

What do you mean you are not keeping up with what is going on? Nothing really is going on. ICly we are attending classes and talking, and OOCly we are discussing the organization and finer points of the RP.
Jagaro

I just sent a TG to everyone that has been active in the last week and a half asking that we all get posting again.

*Cheers*Good work to reward you, you get to make the template for the headmaster. The only requirement(s) is that he be a father like figure to the students, and has a connection to the Lord Herrold though to state it is not going to be a destiny or past event like thing like in Harry Potter, and that he cannot be from non-magical birth.
DMG
11-08-2007, 23:17
Aight.

So if not future or past, the connection has to be a (blood) relation of some kind, right?
The Scandinvans
11-08-2007, 23:23
Aight.

So if not future or past, the connection has to be a (blood) relation of some kind, right?By the way you do not have to make one due to the fact that I was only giving it as a reward to you as you have done much to help this rp and only want you to have fun with it.;)

As for the relation it can either be fun or due to being close in the past.
DMG
12-08-2007, 00:42
So by no passed event you meant like Voldy attempting to kill Harry, thus connecting them?

@Scand: At some point, we may want to do a time warp to jump us forward some period of time (maybe a week or a month or whatever). You could just make an IC post about how much time has gone by and any general changes, then we could all make posts about what our characters were up to in that time. (Not saying we need to do it yet, but maybe eventually).

Also, when in the course of the year would the first trip to Erming be.

I agree about that, but what I am trying to say is that if someone were to make reference to it (or even if they didn't), it would have to occur at some time during the school year.

For example:
Say my character is going to be excited to go, then he may say something (in the New School Year thread) like, "I can't wait to go to Erming next week," which means that the trip to Erming has to be set at some period in the year (a week after he says that).

Awesome... well then, I think when Saturday rolls around, Vex will be taking a trip to Erming.

@Vex's Friends: If you want Vex to know about the private dinner you will have to tell him, because soon (in-game time and in-real time) he will chow down in the dining hall.

You can check the character list for who else is a third year, but it doesn't seem to matter much either. For the sake of ease, we seem to RPing mixed age classes... realistically it doesn't make sense at all, but we are doing it. And different years are hanging out together.

Ok he would have no problem hanging out with people from other years but I asked for the sake of classes.
