Hello Welcome to the first Bi-weekly update of may. Happy May Day and for those of you who have a long weekend enjoy and just pretend this was posted on time.
Elections
Debate 2 is well underway. this debate focuses on education so see what the candidates think of students accessing the forbidden forest and if there should be extra classes in the school.
family, aurors and campaign workers are also encouraged to react and there is a listening party for students and one for professors.
While on the topic of the election we are looking for our host of the third and final debate on commerce so this time we are looking for a current or former shopkeeper or another entrepreneur/business person. if you have a character who would like to host it or have some burning questions for the candidates you should send a PM to Cyndi and Emzies with the questions or character you'd like to put forward as well as a small paragraph explaining why their character is suited to leading a debate on commerce.
Halloween
Halloween is a wrap. with new decorations this year the event was a huge success with the magical haunted forest. thank you to everyone who participated in all the fun RP's that went on. and to those who entered the costume contest you all looked amazing, winners will be announced shortly.
Quidditch
Ravenclaw played Hufflepuff. while the Beaters attempted their previous winning tactic of wiping out the other team Hufflepuff managed to get the snitch and took a win. this means that next semester Ravenclaw will play Gryffindor and Slytherin will be against Hufflepuff for first place.
Brightstone and Week 5
we are moving into week five of classes, can you believe it. make sure you get on top of posting, doing, and marking classes so that you don't have a huge amount of cramming to do on study week (we all know you are going to have a huge amount of cramming to do study week)
It is also Brightstone weekend. so head into town and make the most of being able to go to the shops.
Shopkeepers
Talking about shops. we have two new(ish) shopkeepers. Wish a big congratulations to Olivia Drage as she takes over The Apothecary and Ezra Cade who has moved from owning Borgan and Burkes to Quality Quidditch Supplies. Congratulations Amanda and Dan.
That's a wrap folks have a lovely day and here is your reminder to do something today that makes you smile and remember to sign up for werewolf

Birthday
HNZ is official of age on HNZ. by that I mean It is the site's seventeenth birthday. can you believe that this site has lasted so long and is still going strong?
there is a lot going on this month and the party has already started with sign-ups for some of the competitions and games already open such as Werewolf, Photo Challenge, as well as the community signature and places to react to meeting your charictor, list your top 17 things reminisce on events of the last seventeen years, and give us your biggest smile and see the faces behind the names. It is worth checking back as there are even more exciting things to come.
Superlatives
OOC superlatives are open. That is superlatives for the people behind the characters. nominations are currently underway. so let us know who you think is most likely to make a new character or who is the most likely to brighten your day. nominations can be found here
Graphics
A big shout out to Rowan, Kris, Ana, Claire, and Kadi for their efforts in consistently filling the board with their awesome graphics over the last few months.
have you ever thought of joining this awesome bunch? you can it is easy, just have a go at graphics request or have a go at making your own. you don't have to be perfect on your first attempt. like every art skills are things you develop over time and it is so satisfying when you make something new or try a new skill
I don't know how to? I hear you say. Even if you don't have skills yet filling requests is a great way to develop them and develop your own unique style. If you need help rowan has posted some tutorials here to get you started.
I don't have photoshop to any other graphics software
you don't need fancy software to fill requests. people have done graphics on paint before or try an online platform.
