My first attempt at the BWU! Lots has happened since the last one, which was over two weeks ago (we know and we are sorry
), so where to begin? Oh, I know...
The Purples are Growing
A new Global Moderator was added to the bunch as I joined the ranks of the dark orchids (and yes, I do find it odd to be writing about myself
). If you'd like to see the thread that made it official, check here for the announcementThanks for all of the warm congratulations that you guys sent to me. You are all so awesome
An Admin has Left
After three years on the site, one of our wonderful Admin, Nicolas King, has decided to leave the site. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten
, and he'll still be doing some technical work for the site, so there may be a Kingy sighting every now and then 
. You can see his farewell thread: here for the sad announcementApplications
Applications are still being processed. However, there may be some delay as Livvy adjusts to Nick leaving and gets into the groove of processing the applications alone. As always, your patience and understanding is very much appreciated.
Halloween Graphics Competition
So, to get us all in the Halloween spirit, MESSI organized a Halloween graphics competition to create a banner. There were some awesome banners entered, and to see all of the entries look: HERE
but there could only be one winner and that winner was:
Nicolas King
Congratulations Nick!!! And thanks to everyone else who entered!!
Character Spotlight
After being gone for a bit, the Character Spotlight is back! The character chosen for this spotlight was none other than Nicolas King, and he finally accepted the honor
If youd like to read the full announcement and offer him some congratulations of your own, come: HERE
Be sure to work on your biographies and keep your character active, and you may find one of your characters being spotlighted one day!!
Minister for Magic: Results
After months of campaigning and debates, the Minister for Magic elections were held, and the results are in and can be seenHERE. It was a close race, but the winner and our new Minister(ess) for Magic is Seraphine Snow. In a close second was Thomas Hensel who received the title of Deputy Minister. So, if Ms. Snow is ever unable to fulfill her duties as Minister(ess), Thomas Hensel will take over
Congratulations to both Sir Kaitlyn and Jessye for their characters' victories !!
New Deputy Headmaster
At the Halloween Feast, we saw the return of a former HNZ Charms professor, Gabriel Lloyd. He will now be serving as HNZs Deputy Headmaster, so to all of you troublemakers, I say beware
Halloween Feast
HNZs annual Halloween Feast is open!! It wont be open for much longer so dont delay. Feel free to have your student and professor characters join in the festivities. Also, dont forget to enter the Costume contest HERE
Week #6 of Classes
It's hard to believe we're almost through with Semester 1 for Year 11... but it is true!
So make sure you're staying on top of things with your character(s) and getting the grades that they obviously deserve. Professors, make sure that you are up to date with lessons so that your students can get the grades that they obviously deserve. And, get ready for exams!! I know you are all excitedly awaiting them 
I was really
to see that no one sent in any plot highlights over the past three weeks. This is my favorite part of the BWU because it gives me a chance to see some plots going on that I might otherwise miss and gives me some lurking material for the week . I don't want it to go away! So, send some in!!!
