User blog:Head of Ravenclaw/Here's How it Will Work

So, I'm sure that when you've all been browsing the wiki, you've wondered, well, how it'll all work. Well, here's what we're planning.

Starting

 * See DAW:SUG.

Rules

 * 1) No godmodding: Your first year cannot destroy the entire world with a single spell, no matter how much you want them to.
 * 2) No emotional godmodding: As nice it would be, Voldemort is a mass-murderer and you glancing at him sadly is unlikely to cause him to suddenly change his side and become good.
 * 3) No bunnying: You cannot decide that another player does something.
 * 4) No metagaming: Your character is not aware of that thing that is lurking behind the corner that the guy mentioned to someone else.
 * 5) Reaction times: Word of warning, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to disarm every single person on the room before one of them catches on and attempts to disarm you.

Also, General Policies are available Here:

Forums
You will get sorted on the forums. There will be at least two other forums, "General roleplay" and "Individual RPs".

General roleplay will deal with all classes and stuff, and is more-or-less the official thing.

IRPs is for individual stories. Basically, one person acts as a GM (although they can be both a player and a GM), and it goes as an adventure decided by the person running it.

In order to clearly tell who's speaking, in the GR and IRP forums people will use little character boxes. For instance:

Time
The current idea is that each year will take place over three months, with about three breaks in the term which will last a week each. The exact time is subject to change however. After each year, everyone will be bumped up a year.

Seventh years
The following things may happen to seventh years:
 * If they choose, they may restart at year one. However, they may decide not to, and thus their character's page will then go on to describe they're future life and the player must make a new character.
 * However, if a character lasts from first year to seventh year, and with real-life admins allow them, they may become a teacher.

So when's this all starting
Everything should be up and ready on September 1st, which is when all the classes start.

Admins
Remember, only three people are currently admins. Anything not by them is most likely unofficial.
