Forum:Inclusion of Lincliff City

Hello, lovelies! The purpose of this vote is to potentially include Lincliff City as an area of roleplay in the wiki, to bring together the student and adult world.

Since I'm not a fan of too many headers, I'll just elaborate on the pros and cons here. Essentially, the point of Lincliff City is to bring together the adults and students. It's a place where magic thrives; it's basically London, except... well, where magic is actively embraced. The point for Lincliff's creation is that I've noticed that a common denominator on the locations that are currently up for being deleted (most of which I tried to salvage by moving to Lincliff) is that they target a specific population. For instance, a place like Dr. Filibuster's Fireworks might not be fully appreciated because of its localization in Carkitt Market, Diagon Alley, where students can only attend on summers. Students, who are most likely the only ones interested in a store like that.

The expansion of Diagon Alley is a viable option. However, as I addressed in my blog, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade have a very "old world" kind of vibe that I don't feel comfortable disrupting. Plus, if we do it in Diagon Alley, then it poses the danger of students potentially venturing into muggle London, which as we know, is why Hogwarts canonically doesn't permit them to go to Diagon Alley throughout the year. Meanwhile, in Lincliff, everyone there is a wizard, witch or a squib, meaning they know about magic, practice it and embrace it, making it much, much easier to find a potentially lost student. These are just some of the arguments I can think of right now. If you'd like to take a look at other points I make, and my discussion with other users, please check out the blog and its comments!

I've included the potential expansion of Diagon Alley for users who don't feel comfortable making a whole new city. Below is just how I envision Lincliff City, and how it'd affect Hogwarts' Student body. Likewise, please keep in mind the changes that Lincliff City's creation entails would enter into effect the next school year, should the project pass. It does not count for this school year.

Voting will remain open for one week, until June 1, 2018.
