We have implemented a new update to aid users in writing their ability applications. This consists of a series of prompts that can help when writing an ability. This is to make the understanding of abilities and applying for them much more easier.

New guidance can be found under the What will they be looking for when you apply for an Ability? tab.

For those still interested in applying to become a Hufflepuff prefect, you all have approximately 20 hours and 15 minutes until we close applications for the position.

Best of luck to all those who have applied.

Koldovstoretz IMOG Medal Ceremony & Conclusion!

The International Magical Olympic Games have concluded, and the end-of-week awards ceremony is now open for business! Come celebrate your friends and schoolmates who have won medals, and if you're a medalist yourself, come claim your honour and glory!

On a side note: if you were a medalist of any kind, check the "Other" section of your Trunk! If you medaled and don't see a gift from me, please let me know ASAP.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Koldovstoretz threads are closed! You are still welcome to RP in any non-sports threads as you like, including the Opening Feast and the Main Banya, as well as your own threads. Thank you all so much for enjoying this little event, and maybe we'll see you again in four years... ;)

New Program: Community Helpers

This is a new program we are piloting in an effort to make the Hogwarts community as autonomous as possible. While we have certain standards and attempt to maintain those standards, our community is massive and as some of you know, we have been getting dozens of new accounts daily. With this influx of new friends, we have members with a variety of skill levels and experience levels, so they require guidance.

The Community Helper system serves as a way for us to reward members that notice rule breaks (we are starting simple with under word count posts) and report them in a specific thread. Users are still encouraged to use the report function on posts for misc. issues and personal quandaries involving poor site etiquette, but those reports are not being actively compensated at this time.

Thank you to all those interested in applying for the role of Prefect. We are pleased to appoint Miss @Jrue Peterson as our Hufflepuff's new prefect.

This means that we will be saying goodbye to our former prefect Jake Morris. We hope good fortune to both players as they commence a new chapter both as a player and their characters.

As the deadline (March 19) is fast approaching, please make sure to update your posts in the sign up thread for Fanous and Enchanted Ramadan errand, as well as write rp in the respective mass threads.

Today we celebrate Hufflepuff Pride Day, honoring the house founded by Helga Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff is a house defined not by flash or fanfare, but by loyalty, dedication, fairness, and an unwavering work ethic.

Hufflepuffs are the steady heartbeat of Hogwarts. They are the friends who stay, the students who try again, the teammates who show up, and the witches and wizards who value community over glory. While others may chase recognition, Hufflepuffs build foundations.

To our Hufflepuff members: your consistency matters, your kindness matters, your perseverance matters.

Today you will notice your common room's backdrop has changed to Hufflepuff's common room. You will also notice in discord that all names are a variant of the gold that defines Hufflepuff on our server.

As Ramadan comes to the end, a wonderful celebration starts. Eid is a great opportunity for everyone to gather with friends, reflect on achievements, and enjoy the moment. Try new things, share gifts, and enjoy the Eid Banquet! Join us on March 20 7pm and don't forget to bring friends!
