Old School Week

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Hi all!

Based on a suggestion that comes courtesy of Ash and Jesse, we'd like to dub this week "Old School Week!" I'm sure you're all saying, well what is that? Read on!

In HNZ of yore, there were many RPs that were completely open and full of silly. HNZ has morphed over the years with RPers gaining confidence in how to role play and expanding the length of their RPs. We think this is awesome too, but we thought it'd be fun to throw things back a little and remember when we were new to RPing and allow for some fun RPs that everyone, new and old, can feel free to jump into and out of. 

If you need more of an idea of the feel of Old School Week, feel free to check out some of these examples: Portrait Hunting
Anyone want to be friends?

We've only got a few rules for this: 

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.    

That's not too bad, right?

Feel free to join my RP or start your own. I'm going to tag mine as Old School Week. If you want to as well, that'd be great! It'll help people to find them all more easily! Let us know if you'll be joining in below. I can't wait to read all of the fun plots!

Have fun!

It's so good! I'm trying not to edit any spelling mistakes, and I'll make sure it shows when I edit posts, Keeping it really old school! I'm waiting for one of us to take too long to reply and someone has to say ((Sorry It took so long, I was having a Shower/Dinner/Something))

If this were really old school week there would be huge purely OOC discussions in the middle of topics - sometimes with people who aren't even in the topic!

There would be casual godmods because one roleplayer is super annoying you and yelling about it in the topic, not dealing with it elsewhere.

But I guess we don't need to relive those days entirely.

This is a really cool idea!
(((rock on )))

 

[Aeon Summers]

Oooh, Nick was a rulebreaker

 

[Link Potter]

I don't think Old School overrides Board Rules that says no God-Moding though... hmmm.... RP conundrum...

Let's see how the rest of the week goes, but it is definitely a possibility.

I think Old School Week is creating a bad lot of First Years... like the very first set

To be honest, I don't think they needed any help the professors and prefects have their work cut out for them this year...

 

[Stefan Archer]

This is a lot of fun, although difficult, because keeping it brief is hard
I have topics that folks could join!

[Esme Lancaster]

I was waiting for Jesse to get left behind and get Moody because we went too far ahead of him.
Like here, at the Quidditch Pitch or Here in the Forbidden Forest
I'm pretty sure theres a post somewhere, just of Emoticons in the middle of a RP. Also I GM'd hitting people with Jam against their will
