Just my opinion, Emily, but I think a good way of looking at it is from your character's point of view. If she's terrified of heights or speed or being eaten by a random forest, then broom sports might not be for her. If she's really calculating and prefers small teams and concentrated action, then duelling might be best.

Colin chose racing because a) it's fast, b) you can throw things at other players and cast spells on them, c) the strategies are longer and less focussed than in quidditch. And also, you're technically not allowed to fling spells in quidditch!

Aves! We should totally duel or find ourselves in an unofficial race. Our kids have such a lot in common!

Also! For Emily --- check out the various unofficial sport clubs we have! You might find what you're looking for there!

They've all got their pros and cons though! Racing breaks my brain, but it's really fun and I've had a blast doing the alumni broom race in the London Quidditch Stadium.

I've been a part of Quidditch on H.io since the beta in 2019, though, so I am incredibly biased. I love it so much. Can be a bit chaotic and goodness do those bludgers deal a ton of damage, but it's fun.

Duelling is also fun. Fewer moving parts than Quidditch and racing. I think the captains have been really inventive in changing things up over the years with regard to mechanics.

just asking, how long is the waitlist? (though I'm not slytherin)

I'm currently on the waitlist for all three, but for when I create an iNPC, I want it to be in the best sport (though still unsure what it is, putting it up to vote for that reason)

It's currently at 1 player waiting in Chaser and Seeker, no waitlist at all for Keeper, and then it's long for Beater

omg! in ravenclaw, i'm 3rd in seeker waitlist and 4th in chaser, and there are 2 ppl each in keeper and beater
and I'm 5th in broom racing waitlist...
and 3rd in duelling...
long wait before I get accepted into any team

I was first on the Seeker waitlist when I signed up and still had to wait 2-3 months before I was able to join.

That would be so fun!

Yes— I signed up for the Racing and Dueling waitlists in August or September last year, and made the team in March or April. It might take you months, depending on your house’s activity in that sport, but you will get onto the roster at some point!

Hii

Hello everyone. Decided to try out online RP to improve my creative writing skills.

Everyone here is so good at writing. I can't wait to learn and interact with the many writing styles you guys bring to the table!

Don't be shy to owl me if you want to RP or just wanna chat!

Hello and welcome to H.io, Zion! If you ever need an RP partner, don’t be shy to owl me! Though I can be slow to reply, I’m always open to RPs!

Welcome Zion!
I know how you feel. The writing ability here is insane. I feel like I have improved so much in the last year by reading other's works, and yet I know nothing at all. It's a great way to improve your skills!

Let me know if you'd ever like to RP!

Welcome to Hogwarts! For writing, you came to the right place!

Just try not to die during your first year . . . .

Avery: So welcoming Thank you. If I ever think of something good I'll for sure owl you!

Avis: You don't know anything? Get that outta here. I just read some of your RPs. You're really good at expressing your character's thoughts so naturally. That's for sure not easy to do!

Brookline: I don't mind being bit Thank you for the guide! The coding is for sure going to take some getting used to, but I think I'm getting there. Call me out if I am lagging and I will sign up for the program right away

Colin: You can die as a first year? That sounds fun.
