It was a glorious day, the sun shone and the breeze was gentle. There was a lot to contemplate and a lot to forget. It was a day to simply enjoy the beauty around me and in part I did but for most of it I stressed about the fact that I had to return home and do up the BWU for my second time ever. For those who remember my first attempt, it was feeble. Yes I was the first ever GM at the time and the pressure was only from myself to myself. But since that boring mundane attempt, we have had update graphics and highlighting darkmagenta tones and of course my 'sisters' in arms, all who have done outstanding BWU's. Nick was nice enough to reassure me that my first attempt was not bad at all but was pre these updates and the only reason I was never asked again was because ...I don't do Sunday's! And this seems to be turning into a blawg which is a whole other story. I digress ... This is the BWU and an improvement on my first one ... I hope.

Zetaboards!
Once again the awesome Zetaboards were updated and this meant what exactly for us?
Well Nick explains it best as he usually does
HERE

Forum Reorganisation:
We've all been there, the constant scrolling - the tireless, exhausting rolling of finger over the wheel on the mouse! Is there a medical term for wonky mouse finger xD Anyhow there is far less scrolling to do now as forums have been changed. The student lounge has 'magically' moved and another classroom has appeared, so make sure you all avail of this.
More info can be found
... HERE

Character Spotlight:
One of our senior (as in time on site and not just age xD ) members was chosen for the character spotlight and I have to say she thoroughly deserved it. Estrella Styx is simply an awesome character. So make sure to read her biography, character development and relationship thread. We'll be keeping an eye on the biographies, so always make sure your own is up to date - you just never know when we might choose you

Summer Raffle
The Summer raffle came to it's conclusion and Professor Cyndi Weasley became our very own 'Little Miss Sunshine', while Shaylah Rouge took the grand prize. Congratulations Cyndi and Shaylah!

Wiki Updates
After the site poll, the HNZ Wiki has received fresh content and exciting new sections.
There is now a link to the wiki in the submenu on every page, right beside site documentation.
New content includes: Library books, Daily Prophet Archives, and (by popular request) a section to post information about the person behind your characters.
The "OOC Index", as Nick is calling it, can be found here and we would encourage you all to peruse it then add yourself if you feel so inclinded.
Thanks as well to all Slaves of the Nicktator who have been helping to update the wiki, legends the lot of you.


Site Poll Concluded:
Another conclusion was our site poll , thank you to all our members who took the time out to participate in it. We really do appreciate it. The site staff are discussing the results and the ideas brought up in the topic. Please continue to give more suggestions, ideas, feedback etc we're always happy to receive them.

Advanced Linkage Skillz:
It is now possible to link to specific pages on the site documentations page now.
Now when you click a link in the site docs, it updates the URL of the page. You can then just copy/paste from your address bar to link back to that section.
Example:

http://hogwartsnewzealand.com/pages/site_docs/#Hints

New Application Forms:
I'm sure those of you who have been applying for stoof lately have loved the new webpage layout which is sooo much easier all around. Well to these Nick has added the Professors and Shopkeepers application forms. :woot: Three cheers... hip hip ... okay maybe not everyone is quite as excited as me.
All applications are now officially in the webpage format! :)


Global Moderator's Appreciation Day
Just wanted to say on behave of the girls and myself, thank you all so very much for the wonderful things you all said about us, the fabulous things you made for us and all the support you gave us. We sooo deserved them all xD I keed, seriously thank you :hug:

Offline:
We are sorry to have to break it to you all but the Master Application Form is temporarily off line. I'm sure when it is usable again we'll let you guys know ;)

Professional Quidditch Players:
This is somewhat IC and OOC; If any of your characters are roleplaying as part of a professional quidditch team please send a pm to Nicolae Kobori so that the name can be put on an official list.
We would ask that anybody contacting Nicolae use the following format:

<SIZE size="150">Halloween Feast:
The Halloween Feast has begun and will run right up until Wednesday so please be sure to get your costumes on and some great rps up and running. Play some good old dunking for apples or something or if you are in the mood, watch two professors about to battle it out for the right to be the most awesome hombre at the party. Of course we think Professor Spencer and Professor Prodan are equally awesome :wub: but if older guys aren't your thing, don't forget the Brotherhood Auction is on and those boys need your bids!!! Start spending that hard earned money ladies ;)

Week 5 of Classes
A quick reminder to those of you who need help counting - today is the first day of week five for classes! Exams are a coming folks ;)

Brightstone Weekend:
All good things must come to an end and so the students rps of getting up to mischief outside of school must get tidied up asap as the 'weekend' will be closing sometime Sunday evening or Monday morning. You have been warned. :)

Charms Professor:
And into the school arrived a new professor. Professor Sadia Khalid. She'll be taking over years 1 - 3. So make sure you all give her a hearty welcome when you enter her classroom ;)

I was going for the tidy look xD
there's always one :tut:

:p
Seriously though, good job! *thumbs up*

Really does look tidy and well put together. :hug:
 
Good work Linda! It was totally readable, and enjoyable at that. Well done ;)
 
Quality update, Linda. ^_^
 
Riley Alexandra said:
Is the Professional Quidditch team separate to each of the house Quidditch teams?
Awesome update Lin :hug: :woot:
I fail to understand your meaning.
Professional teams are not house teams. Professional teams are the international teams that professional players would play on. (Example: Ron's favourites, the Chudley Cannons.)
Birghtstone Village has been closed to students once more. :)
 
Great Update Linda :) , keep it up. Happy to know my plots made it in :D
 
Yay! I'm so excited about the Brotherhood Auction! *Going to find a costume for JR so she can participate and nab herself a date for the Yule Ball.*

Congrats to Amanda on being spotlighted and Prof Khalid on getting the Charms Professor job!

:) Thanks Linda!
 
Great job, Linda! :woot:
 
Yay Linda! :frantics:
 
Woooooo. I like it. :D
 
Nice update! It was well worth making your eyes go outta focus and your knees weak.

If the writing is too small for you, you can always use "ctrl +" to magnify the page. :p

The text size is fine :D Ty though.
 
I just wanted to say a special thank you to Kaitlyn for doing the DE and Dementor banners that The Brotherhood used to the Halloween Auction and for taking over when I had to bail on you all for a few days. If she hadn't it would basically have fallen on its ear. We had a great laugh and The Brotherhood thanks you - we raised a total of 768 galleons which knowing the Brotherhood won't be spent wisely but we will have fun spending it.

Thanks Again and make sure you don't forget who you are going to the Yule Ball with and to pay your bids to my own account.
;)

With Thanks
The Brotherhood of M.A.G.I.C
 
(Is Teigs btw)

Yeah Linda, I don't usually read them coz there's too much writing (Lame excuse I know) But I'm glad I did read, well most of it anyway. Great job :hug:
 
I'm glad I could be of service. *bows* Just doing my civic duty Lolz.
