[ACTION NEEDED] Researching The Snow!
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Hey, folks! Have you noticed all that snow flying around lately? It's not just on the home page anymore, but all over the site, IC. By now, I'm sure your characters are getting pretty irritated and asking you, "Why can't this darn snow go away? It takes me ten minutes to get up the stairs for Divination class!"

Well, we've got a solution, but it's going to take the efforts of everybody on the site to sort it out. See, we think there's a spell we can use to get rid of it, but we need to do some research to figure it out. That research has been divided up into what we call Points, which every member can help with. Here's how it works:

By the end of January 10th (Midnight UST), we need to earn 600 points. And that sounds like a bunch, but it actually isn't that bad! We've got a list of things you can choose from to earn points, so it's completely up to you how you want to help out. Each time you complete one of the actions, you'll earn points through the forum's point counting system. So you won't have to worry about keeping track, since the forum will do that for you. At the end of that time, we'll add up the total.

Here are the choices and how much they are worth:

  • Post in the Games forum: 2 point each.
  • Post in the Yule Ball forum: 5 points each.
  • Post in classes: 10 points each.
  • Post in the Order house: 2 points each.
  • Post in the Death Eater house: 2 points each
  • Post in the Ministry forums: 2 point each
  • Other IC forums: 1 point each.


Rules:
1. Double posts aren't cool, unless it's for classes or threads where you have more than one character that needs to be there.
2. This starts right now, so anything posted after this message goes up counts.
3. If we get more than the total we need, I'll come up with another fun event like this one :DD
4. In order to participate, you must post your current totals here before posting in the forums/areas mentioned above.

In order to participate, because the forum doesn't allow us to reset the total points, you'll need to figure the number of points your characters have, if you intend to use them. Sorry we can't make it simpler for you. But it should just take a glance at your characters' profiles to find them. Then, when January 11 comes, you'll post your new total and I'll go through and do the math so you don't have to Wink

If you think you may use a character, go ahead and list their points (all in one post, please!), and then even if you don't find a way to use them, you'll have it all in one spot so we can go back and find them. Oh, and when you post the new totals, go ahead and do that in one post, too, so we can look back and forth, yeah? Very Happy

ALSO! You should note that the Admins are going to help out on this, and we're doing the same tasks you are, so it'll be a big, fun, group endeavor to find out how the spell works. Basically, let's have at it! If you have any questions, feel free to put those up here with your starting points number, or PM one of the Admins and we'll help you get sorted!




An example of how to post up your initial points:
Adrienne: 2789
Ana: 138
Audriana: 91
Avery: 281
Bentley: 137
Declan: 248
Darren: 43
Keiran: 347
Mairen: 76
Nessarose: 65
Oliver: 108
Tobias: 28
Trisha: 51

To get these, I went to each character's profile that I think I'll end up using, and scrolled down to "Points" Smile Only took maybe a minute, so it's nice and quick for you! Then, at the end, you'll post your new totals. SO BE SURE to do this BEFORE you get to posting. Otherwise the points you earn today won't count!

It's being rebuilt, but it shouldn't be sorted out just yet. So it would perhaps be employees moving things in once their room is completed, or complaining about the fact that it isn't finished yet, so they have to share with someone they don't like, etc.

Gotcha - I may do an open thread with employees rebuilding as well. That could be a fun thread for some grad plotting.

Sounds brilliant. I'm not certain we have a date set for the end of the rebuilding, so that would be able to go on for a good while!

People seem to be getting confused, so I'll elaborate.

Right now, I'm looking for how many points each account has. We cannot reset the total number, so instead of you having to keep track, just let me do the work for you Smile On your profile you can see how many you already have. If you've earned points today but haven't put those numbers up yet, I just need to know how many you earned before posting them here. Then, at the end of the time frame, you'll post your new totals and I'll do all the math for you.

So if I posted today twice in games, I'd say I have four points but then put the numbers my accounts have, which I did in the first post. And on the 11th, I'll put up my new totals. For now, it should look like either Anya's or Jack's, depending on if you posted IC before putting up your numbers.

Hopefully that makes more sense.
