| 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? You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

"Makes sense" but I still disagree. People WANT to do personal plots, not just as a simple and unimportant tool and because they are fun! Here's the fact: personal plotting is a tool but it is ore than that. It's a very IMPORTANT one. Individual plots are key to character development and it is up to each person how they choose to work those out. Without personal plotting you only end up with half a character. You lose a lot of depth and that should be where the majority of threading happens -- character on character or a few different characters. Those relationships are so key to developing an individual character in ways that are both directly related to how that character fits into sitewide plots and just who that character is. Our friends, our enemies, our rivalries, our romances...don't they add to the sum of who we are in many ways? The same goes for characters. So since nobody actually "plans their next sneeze" as you so patronizingly put it, I don't really see an issue here. There is always room for friendships and frenemies and rivalries and enemies regardless of how many you have. If people want to pair off and choose finals, that's their prerogative, but how those relationships work out is again, up to them. If new people are looking for romantic relationships then they can still find those; stuff like that opens up or changes, not everyone is into finals/endgame, and of course, romantic relationships do not function as the epitome of personal plotting. also btw "the best RP I've ever had has been unplanned and spontaneous" only speaks for YOUR experience. What if I said some of the most fun plots I've been a part of happened because they came with the character? Is it realistic for me to say that due to that experience I can say that's the type of plotting that is best for everyone on a site and all characters? No. Because not everyone is a "spontaneous" person, some people might straddle the line between planned and spontaneous (planned but open, for example), and some people are more comfortable making those plans. And as I said previously, I disagree that this is a problem. As long as members are welcoming and open towards new members both in being "hey! welcome to HIRP! let's get to know each other!" AND in the "I want to find some sort of plot with your character!". The issue of exclusivity comes from a failure to be willing to reach out and role play with people who are outside of whatever circle someone might find themselves a part of. That might mean spontaneous "let's thread these two and see what happens!". It might also mean "I think your character and mine would be great for X and Y and Z. what do you think?" You are right on one thing -- we need to encourage. So I would like to bring up an important point. If it takes a village to raise a child it takes every member on a site to make sure people are actively plotting together and creating the kind of stories that make RP fun for everyone. It's an openness that has to happen on an individual level but where staff should set an example. If staff don't reach out and plot with new people then why should anyone else? But I repeat it is everyone's job as a contributing member to a RP site to create plots with more than the same three or four people. Threading with new people and characters doesn't just help them develop their characters, it helps you develop yours. That's something I think HIRP has lacked. People plot and RP with the same old people. When one goes inactive it can work like dominoes. It's so important to move on and make new plots when you lose someone in your circle and to make new plots anyway! |

OHH okay I vaguely remember hearing about this. Nevermind then lol. But my other questions are still questions. And I second the keeping the RP Plot, but definitely putting more emphasis on plotting with others/spontaneous plotting. Although, I'm not too sure that can really be a regulated thing. As long as we can encourage and get some people to start doing it frequently though, I think it'll help other people to begin doing it as well. If we get the classes going consistently next time around that's a good time to be spontaneous. Like in mingle-y situations make an effort to interact with others and not just ignore the conversations going on in the same thread as your character or whatever. |

I only scanned through this so this may be completely irrelevant (also 3am jess is not normal well not that she is normal anyway but still) Okay, I like the idea of multi years but I'm like... What are doing about this year? From what I gathered we aren't sticking to the original plot so are we going to get another or just have this year finish normally? Also I think we should post more everyone and become as close as we use to be. Remember all those nights on uhh (scrolls down) VENT just speaking for a laugh while posting? That was half the enjoyment of this and because we have had less time to speak the posting goes down with it. So I think we need to all speak more online like skype, facebook ectect I've only really stayed close with Josh from the site and that's cause we facebook all the time SO THIS IS HOW JESS C'S IT |

@Sara Okay, okay, I get it lol, but in my defense, what I said was obviously meant to be from my own experience (I didn't really say otherwise). Anyway, we can keep the individual plots section if people are that attached. I want to say I'd like to boycott it myself, but I know that I won't (at least not entirely). At the very least, I'd like to see a change in people's attitude when it comes to plotting and keeping things open to interpretation as opposed to set in stone. Again, in my experience, I've found RPing with certain individuals to be very uninviting because I know they already have x or y planned out and I don't want to intrude on their plots (except when I whisked Cosette away from Jess because I could :P). @Avery I think you missed the joke :P. But yeah, anyway, what I meant was that we could allow people to have one older student and one younger, in addition to their main student. Basically, the year that we're in would correspond to the year of our main student year (ie: our main people would be in third year during year three), and then we'd have random younger/older students spread across the other years. |

I did indeed lol whoops. Okay, I see. I understood the main year thing, just not the creation of other students in other years, but I got it now, I think. So after the main year graduates the younger students become supplemental to the next generation in year one? Or do they disappear or do they skip a year or two or what then? And would there be a quota kind of system in creating different year characters or would it be a free for all kind of thing since it's not the main generation? Idk, I think I'm just over complicating things in my head, sorreh. /: |

Well, the way that I'd like to do it (Eme and I spoke a lot about this tonight) is to have a main "anchor" year, if you will, that the main plot is centered around. So basically, our main year of students would start off in first year, and then any older/younger characters would simply be supplemental/secondary, and because of this, once the "main" year graduated, we'd simply move on to another new generation and simply retcon whatever happened with the younger students (explain in their character sheets, etc.), as they wouldn't be our primary focus. |

I like the anchoring idea, although I don't think we should limit it to 'one extra character per person' or anything like that. Rather we just push for those characters to not be the members primary focus. Does that make any sense? Idk. I also agree with Miss Sara about the plot-pages, but I think we should allow flexibility in plotting. We shouldn't just rigidly decide our plots, we should allow spontaneous ('scuse my misspelling) plotting to occur. Life isn't necessarily rigid, but it isn't necessarily spontaneous either. I think we need to work on natural flow more. I also like shorter time as well, although I think a week is a little quick because of things like school, work, and other obligations. Then again, people have total freedom to post out of time, so it's not the biggest deal ever. I just think there can be a tendency to miss out if we go that fast, simply because people may miss important events in that short of time. Excuse my ramblings, by the way. I am beyond stressed right now. And I agree with Dave about that skin, just because it does throw me back to some...interesting times. I'm sure there are a lot of other options, and I don't think we should eliminate the default skin...but options would be nice! |

I do agree that time periods need to be shortened, but like Meg said, when school comes back time will be more limited. Mayhaps irrelevant periods like lunch, dinner, free time can last one week and classes and balls/parties can last two? On plot pages, I don't think we should get rid of them entirely. It's nice to be able to have somewhere to jot things down, but I think we need a way to organize them so that members aren't spending all their time planning and only a few posts actually carrying out their plan. As Davatar said, RPing becomes more of a chore when you've got things piled up to RP. I love the idea of being able to RP characters in multiple years while still maintaining a character in an anchor year (which was one of the reasons I was so interested in HIRP when I joined - I loved that we focus on one year). Of course, this would mostly be used to RP siblings, seeing as we can't have >9000 sets of twins and triplets running around in gen two. I also think we should host more OOC events to keep members entertained. For example, in the SL we talked about making vlogs? We could make a YouTube channel for weekly vlogs or something fun like that. Anyway, are we going straight to next gen? |

Okay I think it's time to stop denying that I'm coming back and just post in this thread with my opinions already. You guys are bringing my interest back damn it. So I'm just gonna go through this thread and give my opinions in case anyone wants to read them, and if you don't, too bad I'm doing it anyway. I'm gonna start with Dave's big long summary post because that was when I started reading the thread for real.
I definitely agree with this. This is a lot of the reason I stopped posting, because whenever I came on I'd be bombarded with "LORI YOU OWE ME A POST RABBLE RABBLE" and it felt like a chore instead of something I did for fun. I also agree that the plot relies far too heavily on people who have gone inactive. I know we're talking about just skipping to next gen and acting like the plot we planned happened with all the correct people (we are talking about that, right?) and I think it's a fantastic idea. I feel like more people will want to come back if they have a chance for a fresh start. I don't know about you all, but personally, my characters feel kind of... cluttered? Idk if that's the best way to say it. But it seems like they have so many plots that just can't be finished and I've spent all this time preparing them for that and it kind of feels really anticlimactic and sad and lame, so that discourages me from roleplaying. Maybe it's just me who feels that way, but I seriously doubt it, as we've had so many member "casualties" over the past few years. I know that next gen I certainly will not be plotting as heavily, because I don't want my interest to go away due to random disappearances. But, again, that's just me. As for the classes thing, I agree with...
And someone else said something about voting... sorry, I can't find it right now. But yeah. We should definitely do that, or at least otherwise pick what two or three classes we want to have every RP day. TBH, I kind of like the way it is now, and I feel like the classes would not be so boring to RP if 1. The professors posted throughout the lesson instead of just once or twice. (I'm guilty of this too so I'm not judging anyone). I think that would make it feel more like an actual class. 2. We CHANGED THE DAMN TIME after like three days of the class. Even with the professors posting regularly, you can only RP about writing down notes and casting Stupefy for so long, right? Eventually, like in real classes, we all get bored as fuck. The difference is, we can just leave these classes. And this usually leads to leaving the RP. Anyway, that's just a thought. I think we should give each class at least one period a year, and if the person playing the professor wants to teach more classes, they can do it at their discretion in an out of time thread. Also I do think each professor should make a list of spells/potions/whatever learned each year, so even if they don't do any extra classes besides the one scheduled in the RP, everyone knows what they will have learned throughout the year and we won't have any John Holland type discrepancies. God, this thread is a clusterfuck. I don't even know what to talk about next. I remember reading something about pre-created subplots and I think that's a fantastic idea as well. I think it was Sara who said it and I don't remember whether or not Dave approved it but we should definitely do it. That kind of goes along with plotting next gen in general - we should make the plot comprised of these main subplots, instead of just one person being the star and everyone else being in the background. And not all those subplot roles should go to the staff. And then I think someone said... oh fuck it I'm going back to the first page.
I know Dave does promotions the way he does promotions and nothing we say will change his mind (he's probably going to just quote this sentence instead of responding for real), but I think Josh kind of has a point. I love all the admins we have now, but I feel like if we make all the cool regular members admins, we won't have any cool regular members. Excuse me for saying so, but I feel like the site ran a little more smoothly when the staff was kind of... elite? Not that they didn't interact with anyone else, but when letting someone new in was a Big Fucking Deal. There was more power in a concentrated area and people kind of respected the invisible hierarchy and there wasn't any real staff-member conflict until we let fifteen-year-olds (aka me and Preci oops) into the inner circle. That being said, this is certainly not the most pressing issue, because the staff doesn't really have member base to rule over. But it's just something to think about. What else do I have to say before I go to class...? I really like the anchor year thing. Like really a lot. I also like the idea of more careers outside Hogwarts. Umm. Just skimming through the thread here. OH YEAH okay I had a question. If we did the anchor year thing, would we have classes and stuff for the other years? Or would they just be kind of side characters, like the non-teacher adults we have now? Okay I really have to go to class. I'll probably post again at like 8:30 when I get home from work. Read my post whatever bye. |

^I agree with this too. I feel like since most people will have multiple characters we should still have some sort of way to keep track of who is in what year because if we don't there's probably going to be the "fourth year club" or something where there's pressure to join a certain year because it has the most people. Cuz then it's lame if you've got the only second year or something. I don't know. And I'd assume no classes for other years than the anchor year? That'd pull them a lot into main characters with the involvement that'd take. Plus, if we have a list of spells for each year, that'd keep them in check without necessarily needing classes. Although, Professors could make classes every once and awhile if they felt like I guess without hurting anything, as long as the anchor year is the primary focus. I also like the idea of speeding up a bit but not too, too drastically because then you get Lori-syndrome (lol) or what she said she feels like she's suffering from now after missing time and wanting to catch up but not knowing how to start. Then people quit because they feel like they've missed too much. Same reason I feel like no one's joining now because it's seventh year and who wants to create a character that you only have a year to develop? Not me. So having the option to create characters outside of the anchor year is especially a good opportunity to have for new members to have that option to start from the beginning while still being in the main plot. |

I like the idea of roleplaying classes out-of-time. That way, professors can post any number of classes and we can do all of that and it'll just be a "learn to magic" kind of thing, rather than making every class have crazy plot significance. Of course, if any particular class ends up being an integral part of the overall plot, we RP that class in real time, so we know that people are reading it and understanding that there's major development going on there. The out-of-time class also gives professors freedom to be as productive as they like with their respective classes. If nobody is really interested in Herbology, I might only post one or two classes a year. Since everybody loves DADA, we could have maybe even ten DADA classes, and people are learning spells all the time. It may seem a bit cluttered and the transition from learning spells out-of-time to applying them in real time might get a little confusing (say if person X has learned spell A and B because they posted in two classes but person Y has only learned spell A because they only posted in one class), but it encourages activity, even if it's not a central plot point. Of course, if person Y in that example doesn't know a bunch of spells, it's due to their own inactivity or choice not to attend class (so there are pros and cons to going to class, which makes it a tad more realistic, I think). Time needs to move faster, yes, we all agree about that. We can RP meals out-of-time as well, because they're just meals and a lot of the time it's just characters eating and gossiping, unless somebody throws a hissyfit and blows up the Great Hall. I'd say we give each time period a week or two, and then we move on. Any important plots can be finished in that thread out-of-time, but eventually the thread will be locked. Important events can take longer to develop, especially if a bunch of members are involved, so we can give those more than two weeks if needed. Concerning classes for other years, professors could stick with the same lessons if they're posting classes for students in younger years. For instance, after we get through first year, the second years will take their second year Charms classes, and the professor will post new lessons for the second years. For the incoming first years, however, they can just recycle old lesson plans and post another thread with that lesson set up. It's easier than thinking of a brand new spell for everybody to learn every single time. For each RP "Day", I think we should have it set up as: Day X - Morning Day X - Midday Day X - Evening This way, people can RP their own events given a certain time of the day, and they're "going to class" in between the times they're not really RPing, or going to meals or something. If we have an important event going on, but not everybody is involved, we can structure it like this: Day X - Morning - Event A Day X - Midday - Event A (if it's still going on) Day X - Evening - Event B Does that make sense? |

^ I agree with the above post. I think regarding times, and what not - we just have to make sure if we have multiples of the same class going at once, that only one of that class is actually occurring in time. The rest would be out of time. That way we don't have some weird overlap. And we can have the set in time classes anchored around the main year, so they don't overlap. |

I figure we just put in the description of that class as out of time. ex. 1st Year Transfiguration Day X - Out of time Or we might not even need to specify at all. I don't think there's really a need for another forum. They're just classes and meals, after all. Also sorry for the short post I'm on my phone. |

Sarahvery pretty much nailed every point that I had in mind, especially the part I highlighted in red. I would want to keep "other year" characters as very very secondary to our main "anchor year" characters. Basically, their role would be to contribute to the plots of the main year characters, not to necessarily have their own. That's not to say that the characters will not be unique and won't have their own stories, but they also shouldn't be our primary focus. Does that make sense? As for classes for the other years... I say meh. I'm not really for and against it, but what I do think is that we should not structure anything for them in any way (so that we do not pull focus from the main year). Every now and then we can be like, "hey, let's have a seventh year DADA class just for kicks or so we can expand on X plot", but I don't want to schedule classes for every year and blah blah blah. (As an aside, I don't see us having enough students in every year to justify planning classes for them all anyway. Realistically we'd have like five fourth years, a couple second years, a bunch of sevens, etc. They would be too spread out for us to be able to say that we'll plan classes.) <17 |

IT'S CATCHING ON!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally see Dave's point about not doing classes for the other years. However, since we're not doing that, I think it's even more imperative that each person playing a professor makes a "syllabus" of sorts for each year before we even start next gen. Just so that no one claims to learn something they haven't learned. But I think we were talking about doing that anyway. |
