Hi all! It's time for another Bi-Weekly update, so let's get to it. :cool:
The Semester is Over!

We've come to the end of semester one! Can you believe it? Professors, if you haven't, please be sure to finish getting your grades in by today! We need to close out semester one.

By now, I'm sure all of your characters are ready to put the semester behind them and head into the holidays. Well, you're in luck! Because the holidays are open!

Yule Ball!

Before you get off to those holiday RPs, why not stop by the Yule Ball for some fun? The ball is underway and will be open until mid-week. Check it out!

Also, don't forget to submit your outfit for [member]the yearbook[member]!

Professor Applications

There are two openings at HNZ! If you think that your character has what it takes to be the [member]Astronomy[member] or [member]Divination[member] professor, feel free to apply. Being a professor is a way to get to see things from a different point of view. ^_^

Tons of Buzz with the Scitorari

A big thank you to everyone who has been participating in the discussion in the Scitorari area. Donna and I are talking about some things, and one of us will be posting in there soon to hopefully get an RP going. ;) That doesn't mean that there aren't already things happening with the group: Leaders should be sure to check out the RP that's been started for the group heads. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out at this meeting.

When the Scitorari began, it was with the hopes that the subgroups would be fluid and ever-changing. With that said, the Elementalists group has been disbanded (for now), and a new group has been added: Anarcho-Magic. You can read more about them in the Scitorari history area. If you think your character would be interested in joining this group, feel free to fill out the Scitorari app. Don't forget that groups with low membership or no activity run the risk of being disbanded. :r So, if you want to help the Scitorari out, you should apply!

2 Less Purples

As I'm sure you're aware, two of our global moderators have made the decision to step down for a time. You'll hear us say it again and again, but real life does come first. ;) We would like to give our thanks to Marga and Kait for the work that they have done while GMs and hope that they are able to better enjoy their HNZ time without the added responsibilities of being global moderators. ^_^ If you'd like to leave them a message, please check out this and this.

Applications Closing Soon!

On Tuesday, applications will be closing for a few weeks. You know that we do this periodically to help us catch up on applications or when we know that we'll be extremely busy with our own RL obligations. This time, it's both! :p

So, if you have something that you'd really like us to review, please be sure to get it in ASAP or be prepared to wait a few weeks for applications to open once again. :)

As always, group change requests will remain open during this time.

The Villagers Won!

Our most recent game of Werewolf has ended with the Villagers victorious!! I'm gonna be honest, I was worried for a while. But, you all pulled through. Good job to everyone. A special thank you to Claire for leading this round of Werewolf. :)

If you haven't already, it's a fun read. Check out the game. And, we hope to see more of you join us next time.

Old School Week is back!!

We haven't forgotten about it, and we'd like to announce the start of Y25's Old School Week( or OSW as it is affectionately known). :party: If you have no idea, what I'm talking about, check out the announcement for last year's event. I look forward to seeing what kind of trouble our characters will get into. And don't forget, if you start an OSW RP, don't forget to include OSW in the topic description. It'll help people to find your RPs in the search!​

As a reminder, there are a few rules for OSW RPs:
Rules said:
1. RPs still have to comply with all board rules.
2. All "Old School Week" RPs must be open!
3. Keep your replies short! This will be the only time we ever impose rules on post length. ;)
[ul][li]Lanterns, Flowers, and Wishes
HELLO! Welcome to another Wild Patch Club event! It is free for all to attend, as always. It's a simple flower lantern festival combining the lantern festivals with flowers, folks can come to attach wishes to the lanterns, attach flowers to the unfinished lanterns, and then eventually release them, or just watch them. If you have any questions, feel free to message me about them. If you want to join the club, just post your gif in the Accio page! My post is super long but this can be Old School Week style - this info was taken directly from the first post written by Emzies, the club's leader.

Other RPs in this Plot:
Yup. All Wild Patch Club events</LI>

[li]Alt Yule Ball
Alexis Bennet is not interested in the Yule Ball. Why not find out what she's up to?

[li]Rejection and Dejection
Feeling rather guilty that her best friend wouldn't get a chance to dance with her at her "last" Yule Ball, Saveli decided they'd have a mini one of their own. After all she only wanted to leave everything in Hogwarts New Zealand on good terms.

[li]Deck the Halls
Here's an opportunity for the Ministry Officials to let their hair down and have some fun. Who knows what sort of office romances will pop up at this event? ;)
[/li][/ul]
[ul][li]Egg Hunt!
[li]OSW! OSW! :D
<LI>[li]Drama!
[/li][/ul]There you have it! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to post them here!

As soon as I saw the words "Anarcho-Magic" I knew it had to be Emzies. :tut:
I'm excited to see how that group develops!

Of course, looking forward to OSW. And just like last year, I wholly intend to win that Egg Hunt, so everyone should watch out. There's a lot of competition. ;)
 
I always get so tempted when Professor apps come around :zombie: :drat: :lol:

There are so many yule ball threads, it's great! :party: I don't have any Scit or Auror charries, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this plotting! :woot:

Thanks again to Marga and Kait :hug: I hope the time off helps you and you can both come back to RP soon!

Congratulations again villagers. And yasss OSW :party: I wonder what crazy stoof the kids will get up to this year!!

Thanks for the update, Cyndi! :claire:
 
So much to talk about! :frantics:

I wish I had older characters that weren't first years so I could do more of the things the site has to offerrrrr!! (Even just older student charries, eleven is so young sometimes D: xD )

I'm sad that the Elementalists are no longer around because I have to admit that group was my favorite one!!

This game of Werewolf was so surprising (did not expect the villagers to win tbh :r ) and at times infuriating because it made me wish I would've signed up to play after all lol :lol: But I can't wait for the next time around so I can finally play!! It doesn't seem confusing at all to me anymore ^_^

Old School Week sounds so fun & like such a great idea! ^_^ Looking forward to it!

Overall just excited for everythinggggg :abby:
 
I'm so excited for the Scit stuff, and for old school week! :frantics: so much awesome!

Thanks for the update Cyndi!
 
Thanks for posting Cyndicat! So many exciting things happening!
 
Thanks for the update! ^_^

OSW yay! Can't wait to see what my little ones will be up to this week. Probably something that's not good. :r
