June 1st - June 19th
It's almost summer! The last few weeks of school have come, and students will need to study hard for their final exams! Don't let up yet, or your grades won't be what you want them to. Of course, the weather is almost perfect and pristine, in attempts to lure students away from their studies.
[2.20.06]
So I was talking to Seshi tonight about the time block and such, and we were thinking about what happens when we extend time blocks. People post to finish threads, but sometimes it makes people un-inspired to start more threads, since they're waiting for the next block to start. Which is understandable. Why would you start a thread if you'd only have a week to finish it? Also, from past experience I've noticed that extending time blocks HELPS in some ways, but it also slows things down in other aspects.
So. The solution. We're going to move into the second half of February NOW and open everything up, BUT we're not going to close any of the beginning of February off. So basically, the sidebar is going to say, From February 20th - March 20th, we will be playing February 1st - February 28th. So you can feel free to start threads for the second half of February, but all the other threads are still open. It kind of falls under the Marchons! Marchons! category to keep us plunging forward, but still making exceptions to try and finish things like the Valentines Day ball up. So yes, please keep posting in the Valentines Day ball! Balls are a lot of fun IF people are posting regularly. All you ANDHC V.1 people should know that. We had amazing social events...
Anyways, that's the deal for today, and the explanation as to what's going on. Hope it all makes sense! If not, kick me and I'll try to rephrase to be more coherant.
As an addition to the other message, here's what comes with the end of February!
HOGSMEADE WEEKEND! So get down there and post!
First OotP Meeting! If you have an adult character that would be involved, make sure you keep your eyes open for it! I think we're gonna need a few NPCs so if you're down for playing an adult in an OotP meeting, give me a PM!
