Well hi there everybody!
So the site has been shut for far too long (not even a month but still). During this time we have worked hard to change things, spice things up and discuss the future. The site was in a bit of a ditch where plot was involved. So we've found the direction we want to go in and soon a lot of drama and change will come about. However there is some changes first that you need to know about.
Firstly, there is going to be a big thread soon in the Ministry. A speech made by Kingsley. It's a big open thread so bring anyone who you would see fit. No students because they wouldn't be out of Hogwarts and no-one unlikely to go to a speech made by the Minister. It's an announcement about the upcoming war so if you're character's interested. Feel free. This will happen very soon.
Now the rest is more new guidelines and information we've got in place that everyone needs to follow and understand.
The Order has a new name and is a new group entirely but the same concept. It's called The Genesis. More information will be released about it soon.
Soon the whole site apart from two places will become a war zone. There will be good, bad and neutral zones. Hogwarts and St Mungo's are safe zones where everyone, no matter what side is welcome. No one is allowed to start a fight or demonstrate one side in these places. No healers, patients, teachers or students.
Also, the fact that places are going to become war zones means a whole new set of rules.
1) Nobody can start a big fight except a mod. Nobody can plan one without the consent from a mod. The only one someone can start a fight is if it's in a bar/shop/building they own and it's within the people already in there.
2) No students can be in fights unless they have the consent of a mod because realistically, they wouldn't be anywhere near the fight unless they had a good reason. They would be in Hogwarts.
3) Only have characters in the fight who are likely to be there. Don't just chuck in everyone you have. It's unrealistic and messy. If this can't be followed we will put a character limit on fights.
4) Don't join a fight if it's unlikely you'll be able to continue. We're limiting fight threads to two weeks so that they don't drag on. There are no exception for this. If you're not going to be able to commit, don't join it.
5) You're not allowed to kill or badly injury any character without the consent of the person who owns that character. No werewolf can bite someone without the consent and so on.
6) You're not allowed to plan a raid on a opposite area without the consent of an admin.
Now a bunch of other random things that will be in a random order as I try think of them.
-NEW RULE: For the moment, before anyone can make a new character they have to make a canon character as we want some more canons on the site. Everyone needs to have at least one. We want to bring in more canon activity so please, no characters will be accepted until a canon is made. Think of it as a chance to better yourself when getting into character. It's more difficult to write a cannon true to the character that Rowling has given rather than our own characters so it will be an exciting chance to better your writing and learn more about a cannon character!
- If you own a building/shop/bar you can choose which allegiance it's on but once you've chosen you can't change without the consent of an admin and a good reason. You also can't act as if a building that belongs to a side doesn't.
- All the applications have been upgraded. We hope the new template will help you to figure out your character in more depth as you create them.
- Also can everyone please re-read the rules. Just so we're all fresh on them so everything is fresh when we start this new step.
More will most likely be added once the site is up and running and we discover flaws. Remember these rules are here to make things run smoothly, not to restrict your creative thinking. If you have an idea or query, just ask a mod. We'll let you know our opinion promptly.
We welcome you back and look out for the next one of these which will hold a lot more information which will require more involvement from you. Welcome back and we hope you enjoy what's to come!
