Rules


ALL CREDITS TO ORIGINAL WRITERS

Headmaster's Office
Reducio
  1. I OC approve of mischief as long as it is not being used to OC harass someone, so if you sneak in by all means play a prank.
  2. Breaking into my office would be considered a moderated situation. I am a brutal moderator. That said, you are certainly welcome to do so.
  3. If you want to talk to me, this room would be my haunt essentially. If you want to roleplay with me and do not wish to break in, you can presume I am there and send me an owl. Do not metagame/godmod me, but by all means presume I am there if you are looking for a roleplay.
  4. I can get busy so I might not be the fastest roleplayer ever but I am capable of quality roleplays.
  5. I will not overturn the hat's decision if you wish to change houses. This is both an IC and OC limitation.
  6. I will not change out your character's wand. This is both an IC and OC limitation.
  7. This forum area is for in character interactions. Please do not use this as a means to communicate with me in an OC way, I am both available on Discord as well as via owl. Email (which everyone has in their initial acceptance owls) is another means but by far the slowest since I only check that every few days.


Letter writing
Reducio
Rules & Guideslines:
1. Use this sub-board to write In Character [IC] letters to your friends, in between the RPG threads.

2. The word count for this area is reduced to 50 words.

3. Use [PV] tags in your title to indicate who the owls are between.

4. You may use pictures, such as handwriting fonts, for your letter if you wish to do so. For images, it might be best to upload the images to an external image hosting site, such as "imgbb" or "imgur".

5. If you use an image for your letter, please ensure to write the content of the letter out in reducio.

6. No spamming or OOC letters allowed in this letter. It must be IC. Only IC words will count towards the WC.

7. Please remember these are letters! We recommend you add a date to them, so they make sense between your RP threads, especially if different to today's dates.

8. If you're writing IC letters with a Quill Pal, you can post them in a thread here if you wish to.

9. Although this sub-board is in Hogwarts, you can add a location + date to your letter and use it during the school breaks too.

10. If you want your thread to be locked, please mark it as [Finished] (which is not the same as [Solo]) or contact a staff member. Otherwise, your thread will remain unlocked in light of people creating journals and spaced-out correspondence threads.

11. You may use this board to write letters from iNPCs. However, you must follow iNPC rules - including putting a picture on it and ideally a link to your encyclopedia.

12. Make sure it is clear to everyone if you're writing from a PC, iNPC or dNPC. They should not have to check or know. Specify this clearly, for instance:
Roleplaying as [Name of iNPC] from [School] - Link to Encyclopedia
[IMAGE OF THEM]


Caretaker's Office
Reducio
Office Rules:
  1. This in an in-character roleplay area where you can interact with the caretaker. The 200-word minimum still applies.
  2. One person at a time may enter the office. A new person may enter if the other person has not posted in two months or has announced that they left the office
  3. Ruckus's start date was April 24, 2024. Do not backdate before this
.


Hospital Wing Rules
Reducio
Written by Dusana Sabo
IC
  1. None of the potions, balms, or pills are ever allowed to be taken without clear permission, no matter how sure you are that you recognize it. Even if you are not caught, Nurse Sabo keeps immaculate inventory records and will notice supplies going missing.
  2. Visitors to the infirmed are allowed during visiting hours, so long as they are not actively being treated. When asked Dusana might give your character permission to visit outside the normal hours, make sure to owl me if you want this.
  3. Don't run around or raise your voice, many of the infirmed are there for prescribed bedrest and need peace and quiet. You'll be asked to or made to leave.
  4. Be respectful to the patients and all the working staff in the hospital wing.
  5. No spellcasting without permission or instruction.
OOC
  1. There are other things you need to consider as a writer, namely that you must be aware of and follow the site rules. Any in-character school rules are allowed to be broken, but I will have a chance to notice it and give you detention.
  2. The site is rated so that players of all ages can feel safe to engage. As far as brutal injuries, drug use, and severe mental illness/trauma goes, I will be reading your threads to make sure they fit the description given in the link. If you're ever unsure whether your illness or injury is going too far, feel free to owl or message me on Discord any time and we can talk about it.
  3. Do not godmod the nurse unless it is something minor, like treating someone in the room or sitting at her desk. If you want to describe something further than that, just ask and I will probably say yes!
