Maximillion Black
Bond, I got a couple of other people's opinions, then issued an "Overpowered" warning on this character. Please check whether you agree when you have a mo. Thanks, Alex  Jiskran  13:17, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Overpowered
Bond, I've come across another character who seems immensely overpowered to me, Lucian Darkchylde. Alex  Jiskran  19:16, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's correct, since it was a penalty shot.  Ec ho  st  ar  19:50, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Flying
Okay so i was thinking through the night (i do that alot) and i was thinking i could give flying another go. I know i resigned but i think it would be good if i tried one more time. Alga mica  grat  00:44, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Forum
Something isn't working with the Gryffindor Quidditch Team Captain forum. Nothing is showing up in the list and it says DPL Forum: Too Few Categories. Any idea what this means or how to fix it? --~Peislandgal (talk) 13:20, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

IC/OOC myself
Maybe I'm the one getting mixed up now, Bond. I thought when Bry published the http://dumbledoresarmyroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Confederation_Decree_Number_One that that was the declaration of war, and Rebekka Kaiser's signature is on it. If I'm wrong, please let me know. It would be good to see you on chat anyway. :) Alex  Jiskran  21:03, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Edit track badges
Bond, is it OK if I upload some more interesting HP related pics for the basic edit badges? They just lack "colour", and for most people they are their first badges. Alex  Jiskran  10:14, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Blog Posts
Here and here are two blog posts of mine you'll be interested in!  Ec ho  st  ar  20:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Returns
Just for your infomation, Bond, Hyugabyakugan12 (now LyreOfOrpheHyus) dropped into chat yesterday, and Damigster has apparently decided to rejoin the wiki permanently. He was in chat twice today. Alex  Jiskran  14:30, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

PS Your edit count appears to be dropping. Is this possible? A

Badge pics
Bond, you should be able to see, in "Wiki Expert" and "Wiki Planner" on your own user page, for example, the new pics. Obviously, any you don't like you can restore default on. Alex  Jiskran  15:30, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

China
Hi. I was wondering if I would be able to make a leader for China. Zan wanted my other character to get China to try to be on our side, but theres no leader of China that Im aware of. Or if I cant do it, see if we can have someone else make one. Thanks! :)

Deletion
Hey Bond. Could you please delete these pages relating to James Quell. I barely ever use him anymore. Besides, I'm gonna start making new characters, so I'd like to get rid of old ones. Especially ones I barely ever use. Weirdo Guy (talk ) 13:24, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

thx. Also would you be interested in adopting Draco Rookwood, Benjamin Fletcher, or Noah Clouatre. I don't really use those guys much anymore. :P Weirdo Guy (talk ) 13:30, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

New Teacher
I can and will. I have looked over the GLE's that were voted on for last term and tried to create a lesson plan of sorts. Do you think that a full scale (1st-7th year) class is realistically possible for someone who has never had a teacher character? I am willing to modify some things and teach Apparition instead. I know that class is only open to 6th and 7th years, it seems more reasonable. Let me know know please, Potions or Apparition I am happy with either. Fre ja  14:07, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Teaching
I can keep up. I am on my computer a lot so it's no problem.

Teaching
Bond, if you need teachers for anything, I'm happy to create or RP a suitable char. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  14:11, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Do I need to start getting things ready, then?

P.S. Is it too early to have started Quidditch trials?

I won't second guess myself and I'll stick with Potions as I originally planned. Thank you. Fre ja

Archives
With the war ongoing, Bond, wouldn't it be a good idea to label relevant archives, with say the "War Locations" category, and keep them, at least for now. The Hogwarts school related stuff, obviously can go, no problem. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  14:24, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

I am just thinking; do I clear the Herbology page and the office now and set up the new sections? It'll just get me organised, ready for the new year.

Herbology
Can I have a list of practicals that need to be done with each year for future reference? This is just to add to my lesson plans.

Bond, can Freya Minisra still be Quidditch Captain, as this was organised between me and Peislandgal before said rule was decided?

Re:Teaching
thanks i have no problem in teaching first years when is the term begaining bond btw i heard about your chat thing its pretty sad to know that you cant talk on chat anymore but i recomend that you must contact Sanse he/she is the best stuff who handles problems after doop thanks again.10 Sep.

Bond, I'd like to keep the Dervish and Banges archive as this is a) brand new and b) a covert Ministry outpost for spying on Hogwarts.

Ministry Offices
Cara Dust's been bumped up to "Home Front Co-ordinator", Bond, because Gyps didn't want her very active. [] has been created, and RPed in. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  15:11, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Morale and Information
This is TT's section, Bond, but I'm still waiting for her to do anything with it. If nothing happens in the next week or so, I might have to promote Red's Leo Agneau to Dept.

Wandlore
Hi Bond, can I just ask if someone else could take the older students in wandlore, because I may be inactive and I don't think I can handle RPing all of the years. If you can't find anyone else I'll try to take them. Thanks

Department Creation
DMAC NOTE: I am doing the last few edits so the page has not been created just yet, I just need to know if I should also create all of the sub divisions pages, or just the ones that currently have employees being Accidental Magic Reversal and Obliviator HQ. Fre ja
 * DISREGARD the above message. All the pages have been created and linked to the main Department page in the link above. Fre  ja

As Berrin is a dark wizard, I might doubt that Professor Kinsel would hire him, but of course I'm sure you have your reasons and everything sorted out. Anyway, I would be fine sharing the job, and I'd prefer the older classes (years 5-7) if that's possible. Thanks for asking, 23:25, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Character
First off, judging by what Jisk posted up there, I'd like to greet you a '''Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one! '''Anyway, Bond, I was hoping to create a new character to be part of the WHPS. The thing is, I want her to be a being, a full veela, so that she would have the ability to morph into Veela's other form, be able to use full on Veela charm, and etc. I'm not really sure if this is allowed, but as Bry, SoA, Starz and other users I probably forgot about are able to create Centaurs, Vampires, Faery, and Werewolves, I was wondering if Veela was allowed before I do the forum for adult approval.

Cauldrons and Broomsticks
Bond, I've just created Archive 10 for "The Three Broomsticks", and "The Leaky Cauldron" is growing by leaps and bounds as well. Should I transfer the "war-related" elements of Archives to some special location and purge the rest, or do you have another thought? <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  11:50, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Gm
If you need an extra GM, im willing to help. Just let me know if you need me. Alyssa :)' 05:22, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Attacks and timing
I think, for something of this scale, we need a clear round based process, for fairness' sake. I think that new arrivals should not be able to take offensive action until their first FULL round present. So, they can cast defensively, or pull a comrade to safety and such as they step out of the elevator, but not more. The whole equation of conflicts change with people just turning up and us awaiting posting and GM resloutions, so we really should have some protocols in place for this stuff. We've foregone considerable reality in having the WHPS members hanging around, undetected, in the Atrium before the attack, and the scrying of the Ministry not picking them up the instant they cast an offensive spell, and we're trying not to consider all the complications of excess bodies and all the WHPS/Italians/Russians who would have to be streaming through the Floo Network to make this a remotely even fight, but those conflicts which do occur, given the number of players and potential characters now involved, do need some ground rules.

I also believe, as guidance for GMs, that basically it should be said that each character can take one offensive and one defensive action per round, and if they choose to do more, then all of that type are at a penalty. It puts one person fighting two at a disadvantage, it's true, but that's as it should be, surely, and the GM can make specific allowance for a known leader/extremely powerful char.

 Dduffurg48/Gruff  15:21, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Auror Office conflict
I've just noticed, Bond, that Kristina cast "Expellimellius!" at Draco, not "Expelliarmus!", so he should still have his wand, though his robes might be on fire. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  22:18, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Random musings
So, when you have a moment, Bond, I'd like to know the situation vis-a-vis teaching Wandlore, and if I should modify Sarah Norman or not.

As a part of your copious reading, I was wondering if you had any comments/observations on The_Rookery_-_the_Rookou-Greengrass_residence or Arcturus Rookou and his alliance with Shadow?

And with no connection to the former two, is the "Ministry outpost for spying" function of Dervish and Banges OK with you? I figure, since Kinsel recruited Jenny, turnabout is fair play. :) <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  16:27, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Dervish and Banges
D&B, Mol specifically, will service Steve's "teaching tools", and those are the spying devices the Ministry uses on him, and which have been retasked to include Hogwarts in their remit. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  16:43, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Auror Office
From what I've seen, Bond, neither Bry nor SoA have posted anywhere on this battle. With regard to Draco, he was ambushed by Kristina, so he will now make it his business to hunt her down and find a legal pretext for terminating her. If, however, he recognises Barant, he may have the sense to allow the tactical retreat, given the weakness of his own position. If he doesn't know, or care, he may pursue at least as far as the gates of hell. Draco survived Durmstrang, and although he doesn't know it at this moment, actually has Rookou not Rookwood blood in his veins, and that family has a powerful psychotic strain. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  19:03, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Einar's threat assessment
RPing Steve with Belle Linda, I've realised that Einar, if he even guesses at the true nature and extent of Steve's capabilities, will devise an instant termination contingency plan, and contemplate putting it into immediate effect. Student or no, Einar will be terrified at the destructive potential he represents, and it's a kind that Azkaban can't begin to contain, even if Dementors are re-employed to patrol his particular area. My theory is, and see if this works for you, that part of what's making Steve so powerful is his absolute lack of control over it, the fact it's buried in his subconscious and responsive only to his lizard-brain urges. If he can "draw it out"`into his conscious mind, not only will he acquire control, but in all probability "it" will be far less of a force of nature to require that control. And, as a trade off, he might be able to begin to access some of the magics which have so far entirely eluded him. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  19:50, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Steve's spellbook
I have deliberately not given him any fourth year spells, Bond, as the Ministry's constant "intereference" is preventing him retaining the info. "Specialis revelio" has proven to be the only spell resistant to being wiped. He learns, but it's like filling a collander with water. Also, the higher the spell level (I presume) the more "passion" it requires, and so his constant self-control precludes him truly "exploring" the spells, the way he would need to if he was going to master them. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  13:56, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Lill and Ashley
I was going to have Einar cast "Lux aeternae!", since one of his highest priorities is to discover the identities of attackers, but then I realised no real scale has been established for this, and there would be a good chance of one or both of the girls being within 10 meters of him. If their auras gave away their loyalty as "Light" it would make them instant priority targets for the WHPS, especially members as ruthless as Barant and German. I presume that, with so many people involved and posting, and not to get into a ridiculously elaborate combat system, we just have to let those kind of things slide. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  14:09, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Lux aeternae
The idea is mainly for it to function comparatively, to be honest, Bond. Not to "reveal the true nature", but to give a reading against which others can be measured, and uninfluenced by Polyjuice etc. as masking agents. Of course, real faith, insanity, schizophrenia would all automatically produce skewed readings. It's for him to be able to see them later, when interviewing applicants and the like. So caster only, at least on this occasion, works fine for me. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  14:26, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

OOC
If you're GM, Bond, then he would be looking only at those who had tried to hide their identities in some clear way, hood, mask etc. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  14:38, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Back again
Sorry to bother you once more, Bond, but none of the other Bcrats seem to be around much at the moment. I had a question about character "types", as it were. Bry and Starz have created Centaur and Fairy chars, so is it limited to some kind of approval process, or are the many races mentioned in the books now available as playable characters? The reason I ask is, I was messing about with the Rookery (Arcturus Rookou's place) and I decided the inhabitants of the Stables were at least half wild, with some Fae blood, and some goblin or house elf in the mix, along with some basic Human stock. So, I was contemplating developing one or two, and obviously, if they could make full chars they would be more interesting. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  12:48, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
