This update is going to be a bit long because we missed the last Bi-Weekly Update! I encourage you all to grab some popcorn and prepare to be educated. :lovi:
Sorting Numbers!
The semester is well underway, but we have this nice graph to show how sorting went:
SortingY28.png

In total, 92 students were sorted for this year. Another 3 students were accepted as transfers.


Nearly done!
The semester is already almost at its end. Can you believe it? It's true. :correct: Monday will mark the start of week 5 of lessons. Professors, we ask that you please catch up if you are not up to date on posting lessons. We also ask that you catch up on grading if you are behind. The end of the semester will be here before you know it!

As an extra note to professors, if you don't have an area for students to make-up their lessons, you should post it now. It should remain available at least until exams are posted.

As an extra note to students, don't forget to post your yearbook photos, and seventh years should check their PMs.

Brightstone Weekend!
The first brightstone weekend is well underway, so why not go for a stroll in the village? Get into some trouble? Do some shopping?
For information about the closing date, please be sure to check the calendar. :)

Halloween Feast
The Halloween Feast is closed, but you can still check out all of the fun RPs if you head to the Great Hall. The costume contest is also closed, but the winners will be announced (and points awarded) in the very near future. Stay tuned!
If you want to take a look at all of the costumes, feel free to do so by [member]clicking here[member].

Quidditch!
The Y28 Quidditch season is well underway, with each of the school teams having played a game. In the first game, Hufflepuff took a victory over Ravenclaw. In the second game, Slytherin suffered their first defeat in a year. :(
So far, Hufflepuff leads the cup but it's anyone's game! We'll see how the next few games go! The next game is just around the corner: Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. One of them won't be leaving with a perfect record. :r

In case you're not aware, OOC conversation for quidditch should go here.
IC roleplays can happen [member]in the stands[member].
Captains, don't forget that you can host practices for your team! Details can be found in the captain's area. :)</SIZE></COLOR>


<COLOR color="Black"><SIZE size="50">Easter Egg Hunt<3
The Easter Egg Hunt is underway, so everyone get looking! There will be prizes for the top three hunters! There are eggs in some really fun places, so look EVERYWHERE.

Roleplay Roulette Revival
Roleplay Roulette is still underway! If you have started your topics post them here, and everyone will be able to stalk some cool new topics! I, personally, will be starting mine as soon as this Bi-Weekly Update is up. :party:

Emzies is backers!
You may have seen Emzies in a new color recently, and that is because she is back! She has been waiting patiently for this to be posted so that Nick can start demanding things from her.

Welcome back to the GM, Emzies! You can show us n00bs around.

Applications are open!
Now that Sorting is closed, all applications are open again. Also, there are three shopkeeper applications up for grabs! Apply [member]here[member] if you are interested in taking a shop!

"Posting As" Code
There is a cool new tool that Nick has made for us once again! :lovi: If you go to your Code Settings, you will be able to enable a "Posting As" code that will tell you what character you are posting with before you make a post! Nifty, right?

Nick is the best person to talk to if you have questions about this code. Answers are only a PM away!

Character Spotlight
The Character Spotlight is Daphne's Amber Chou Wilson! You can read her questionnaire [member]here[member]! The Site Staff is always looking for active and developed characters, so keep at it everyone, and you may be next. :shifty:
[ul][li]Admiring The View
Anthony & Clementine meet on top of the tower at night, what will happen next?

Other RPs in this Plot:
http://hogwarts.nz/topic/30200516/ (Ongoing)
http://hogwarts.nz/topic/30203928/1/</LI>

[li]Sneaky
An Open RP where two Gryffindors have decided to sneak into the kitchen for some food. All is going well, until an uninvited guest appears. Causing havoc as he does, Podrey the hardworking house elf eventually appears to take care of all the mess in his kitchen. To say he's not pleased is an understatement.

[li]Disagreements
Gabriel Rosenberg throws a ball, and hits a target that hits back.

Other RPs in this Plot:
http://hogwarts.nz/topic/30179128/1/#new Let's go To Hogwarts!

[li]Double Dares and Other Shenanigans
Hayley and Rory have a complicated, antagonistic relationship. Mutual friend Harley has sent them on a double dare to raid the kitchens for a succession of weirdly specific food items, but it won't help reconcile them. It won't.

Other RPs in this Plot:
Yes, but they're not essential to understanding or enjoyment of this topic, which is hilarious on its own. Rory and Hayley's argument occurs in Fortuitous Circumstance (http://hogwarts.nz/topic/30089828/1/), and Harley forces them to apologise in Fried Fiend (http://hogwarts.nz/topic/30132804/1/).

[li]Halloween Fun Fest
The Medley hosts its first Halloween Celebration! All adult characters encouraged to attend so long as they have a costume!
IT'S OPEN!! :frantics: [/li][/ul]
[ul][li]HNZ's BIRTHDAY
[li]More roleplay roulette topisa
[li]Winners of costume contest
<LI>[li]Winners of the egg hunt!
[/li][/ul]

I already sent in my eggs because I happened to be bored for a few hours earlier :r watch me find more now though when I'm no longer looking and have already sent them

Now I gotta go put this new "posting as" code into my settings, as I desperately need it xD

EDIT: not even a minute later I found another egg, at least I know myself :tut:
 
Thanks for posting Lovi!

Yup.
I don't want to see any more trashed posts where Zach professes his self-hatred.
Only self-love from now on!
 
Thanks for the update, Lovi!! :hug: :woot:

Welcome back Emzies, yay!! Now I have to readjust to Stefan being in a new colour again =)) :hug:

That new posting as code is going to save my life one day, I feel it xD thanks so much Nick!

I really don't know who to root for this Quidditch match x_x (it's Hufflepuff)

Thanks again :hug:
