I’m also just going to add this: a time table for your day classes (ie: charms, dada, herbologly, etc.) would be extremely complicated. For 1st and 2nd years you have 8 day classes, lunch and curfew. Third year and above have 11 (technically slightly less due to them being electives but the point is still there) day classes.

Astronomy is your *only* class that takes place at night. It is not as difficult to come up as a time table that does not clash for all 7 years in a five day school week.

If you look on the fandom wiki you will see that the schedules begin to fade and you don’t get the full schedule by third year+ none in 7th. Because of canon. Even if they would’ve had a complete schedule, you still have the issue of conflicting times on top of that.

Every class runs for a certain amount of time, it doesn’t run for 30 minutes. So, making a time table for your day classes is going to be difficult and extremely conflicting. It also likely isn’t possible what with all of the extra elements you need to add onto it.

Because of how hard that is to do, outside of astronomy we don’t have a time table. (Also like said it’s not a priority)

(You’ll find astronomy time table in the curriculum.)

Our staff team is big enough to moderate the entire site so we do not need staff roles at this time. Also, if you wanted trouble just poke me (octavius baird) most staff members don’t care whether you ask them, if you’re performing a rule break in a forum and don’t ask anyone we will roll in discord to see if we catch you. If you mean for how you have a professor to teach class, a groundskeeper to care for the grounds, etc. all those roles are filled. Just reach out! We love the owls and questions!

If you sat down and did the math, it is not possible. We have one DADA professor teaching all of you and there are a lot of you, how many students do you think that classroom holds? There are some things that we do have to shrug off and making a hard, finite list would be a lot of work and another thing for players to know and be told they are wrong about.

RP starter: 9 am in a Tuesday I have a meeting with a student in the hall between classes (or heck I am skipping), someone pops in and say "hey you are wrong, it is actually the opposite (skipping or between). The site and system is already very complicated, this would add a layer of complexity and micromanagement to the community that would not enhance the experience of the users.

I was thinking about how it would be fun if there was site canon characters, such as celebrity types (actors, musicians, athletes, etc.). I feel like it would add more depth if students could use those names in their conversations like “wow Timmy did you hear that the Jinxes band has a new song ? !” This would mostly just be for small conversations like that. To add on, there could maybe be a competition once a year in which site members write about this celebrity character and then ultimately one or a few winners are picked to be added to the site lore? Just a random idea I had

I have a recommendation for the site! You know how all the iNPC schools come to Hogwarts for special events like balls and tournaments (when we have them/if we have them again)?

I was thinking we could have a special yearly event between the iNPC schools ONLY. Where all the iNPC schools come together once a year and gather at ONE of their schools to celebrate. The point of this is to foster cooperation and friendliness between the schools, to learn about the other school's culture and traditions, to gain new experiences and to see how things are in a different country compared to your own. It makes sense IC and I think would even be done IRL too. Plus it gives the iNPC schools something fun to look forward to and do. As for the school that is chosen once a year, it would be chosen through a vote. The schools would vote for what school to hold the yearly event at and whoever has the most votes that's the school where it would be held at that year. The following year the vote is done again but the school it took place at the year before will be eliminated from the running to make things fair to all the schools. This pattern will repeat until all the iNPC schools have been given a turn. Once that has happened, then the process repeats where all the iNPC schools area eligible to be chosen again from the start etc... What do you think? I think it should be doable because it doesn't require any extra coding and doesn't require much input at all. The only thing to consider would be the main thread being posted saying the yearly event is taking place. And of course the voting process but that can just be done in a thread with a poll asking people to vote. You can make the voters post their iNPC down below and then click the poll with their vote.

I was also thinking about adding a Clubs section you can click on to go to a new forum under each iNPC school if possible. Because that would be awesome. But it's not necessary if it's too much work.

I'm not sure if it makes sense for all the other schools to go "Let's do an event with all the other schools but exclude Hogwarts, just because" once a year, however I believe a while ago there were discussions regarding hosting events at different schools.
No promises, but that might happen.

Oh yeah, I guess it makes sense for Hogwarts to be included. It's just that Hogwarts seems to ALWAYS be included no matter what and all the iNPC schools end up being minor. Thus my idea of doing only iNPC school events. But if we do it the way I suggested, I can see Hogwarts coming too. Just Hogwarts shouldn't be listed as being a potential school to host the yearly event because ALL the iNPC schools come to Hogwarts every year MULTIPLE times for the spring and fall balls along with summer camp. So all the iNPC schools would have loads of chances to interact with and learn about Hogwarts during those times. The other iNPC schools don't have the same chances, thus why it should ONLY be hosted at their schools and NOT Hogwarts. But Hogwarts students can definitely come to the yearly thing at all the iNPC schools, as long as they know they aren't in the running to be hosting the iNPC school yearly visits since they will always occupy the host position for spring and fall balls+summer camps.

Small pet suggestions for flavor

Exclusive pet for Dhampires: BATS. Could be used in place of owls for delivering letters, and have similar stats for those with the Beast Master ability. Either a Fruit Bat or a Vampire Bat (though the latter is much smaller and might not be able to handle mail)

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, during the entry into Diagon Alley, a fruit bat was briefly seen hanging and crawling around a pole near Magical Menagerie (presumably it was being sold as a potential pet).

An additional breed of snake for Parselmouths would be cool too. while they would have the same capacities as the Emerald Gazer, some kind of mono-color serpent would be more customizable appearance-wise than a python looking snake

Afaik and @Solomon Lear can correct me (or staff ) we cannot add pets as we already had an issue adding pets in the past, rip Crups.

I know it's a matter of coding, just an idea for the future if the opportunity arises! I've been stuck on the concept for awhile
