Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

hey everyone, i'd like to share a few of my idea's with you, and please if you really support something comment back, and if you disaprove of something you can comment as well, =]

- Graphics Request Board

A Graphics request board is a place where a graphic maker has a thread, and people request graphics off them, They normally call this a graphics shop, yet you can call your graphics naturally anything (ie: Ambers world, what i normally call my shop) Another thing you can have in the graphics board is a Single request sub board - which you type out a set request form, and at the bottom it will say prefferable maker, and you make a list of names, / or say any. And then people can swarm in and make it.

- Personals

Personals are a thread a person makes and it will keep track of your friends, lovers & enimies. i mean, this is all rp but anyways!
You can make your personals as flashy as you want, some people even but lyrics before each section. Like you'll have a friends section, which in that section you will have best friends, good friends, secret keeper, average friends, aqqaintencies, and just met. As for lovers you'll hvae crush flirt, current and etc.
As for enimies you'll no what to do

And personals are customised to your personality, you can add extras like family, right upto an others sections to match you &/ or your friends! then your friends fill out a form, and request to be in a percific area, and you add them to what you wish, and keep track of your rp's.

- Games Board

A board with games =]
the games you can play on a games board are endless!, you can have count to 100, 1000, HP ABC, hate, date or mate and if you have been to other websites they are heaps of fun, and it is a good place to meet new people.


thats all my suggstions for now, =]] please cmnt.

I like the second two, but avatar/banner requests are generally just done through PMs or the cbox. :P

If we had a games board I reckon it should be made to not add to your post count as ive seen it used to up them in the past.

I agree with Dave. They sound good. Though I dont see the harm in having a 'graphics shop' as it coukdnt hurt to have a specific place to ask.

If we see a man glorifying his race, gender, or creed, we can understand there is nothing about himself that deserves glorification.

I like them and I really don't see a problem with having a graphic center for good measure. *shrugs*

Though, maybe the site needs a new skin. With the birthday of the site on the rise, I believe something new needs to be executed. And... also... years need to go by a little bit quicker. Just being second year after a year of activity is a little...... ugh.

Hey Hellius i totally agree with the time measurement thingo.
as ive noticed, (this may not be true, otherwise correct me) That you can play at one place at a time, & at one time of day (ie: Lunch, day 4)

one other websites i find it is not as structured, you can have a few roleplays going at a time, a thread being a sequel, or a whole nother story. And i prefer that as it keeps you busier & such. You can have 5 rps going which will make you more active, and activeness means more members!

yet if you want to be "different, or unquie" you could always keep the time and day in plae, yet use is as a guideline.

oh and as for the new skin, if you wish help, i'd love to help!, I do not need any acess to "prohibited areas, you could just tell me what to make and ill give you a few ideas. its upto you, ask me any time.

I totally agree about the new skin. However Dave is the man to talk about it as he's in charge.

As for the time measurement thing, its more realistic if you cna only be in one place at once. Otherwise why bother having all the forums and schedules and such. Why not jsut write anything anywhere. But I do agree that I too would like to move to the next year.

The previous year began on jan 9th roughly. So about 6 months which I agree is far too long.

This year will be done by January.


And as for the time scaling thing, the reason I chose to structure the site this way is because other RP sites with multiple RPs running at once have major continuity errors between characters. For example, when I first started RPing in the HP universe on some random forum, I ended up introducing myself to the same characters like three times over in three different treads.

Can I make a suggestion towards the time scaling thing. It appears to me that the problem we seem to have is that people aren't on at the same time as each other, no one is to blame for this apart from time differences (*shakes fist at stupid time zones*). It seems that in between school and other activities, many people can't find the time to post in classes. It does seem that everyone can check at least once during the weekend period. If it was managed correctly I think we could get through classes more quickly and more efficiently.

Also, I think when a class is opened students should be notified by an email because while people aren't always going to check the site on the internet more often then not they check their emails. This was thrown around before but I think it's something to try at the very least.

Another suggestion, if Slytherins are going to make this pure blood group of evil or something along those lines. If they could make a room. and a thread, makes it much more interesting. And only "pure-blooded" students can get in there.

For the school year, maybe it should be just 5 rp days (since that 1 day takes.... weeks in actuality) or something along those lines. Every day is a different event like Christmas, Halloween, the Hogsmeade trip, Easter, the finals, etc.

I am unwilling to create a special room as the society has no distinct boundaries. It exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously. It is not a structured, rigid organization intent on a single purpose; rather it is free-flowing, borderless grouping of individuals with common ideals who coexist for mutual benefit.

To myself it is a means of surrounding myself with those I deem worthy and with people who have proven their worth to me. To others it will be a means of simply belonging to something greater than they are by themselves.

The society will not be known to outsiders. Yes, you are all aware of it here but this will not extend to the RP. Why is this? The first rule of Regalis Sodalitas is...you do not talk of Regalis Sodalitas. The second rule of Regalis Sodalitas is...you do NOT talk about Regalis Sodalitas.

Cliche but essential. Members will decide new members, not it's reputation.
Are you my next victim? Are you my next prey?
