probably not coding rheine's
because I would get lazy halfway through and just put "got her soul, heart, and mind destroyed lalala." Too soon?

Yes, sure, go ahead! XD

Draco wouldn't have interviewed you if it wasn't for the Head position, so that's what you got. I'll update the Register/roster later when I have time. Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:57, October 6, 2016 (UTC)

*pokes you*
I posted on the Apothecary, btw... Oh, my mom's also dragging me to Yakima for family 'fun time'... So, I may not be around a lot tomorrow unless I sneak away and get on here. So... there's a little chance I may be able to Kik tomorrow if you want to talk... How are you doing?

Specifics
I am being super cool right now by deciding not to go into über graphic (or any) detail about what Dorian has been through. I came to the conclusion that I have no interest in actually painting that picture for anyone beyond what I have described for myself in planning, and what I have on his page which I am sure I redacted to nothing after I transferred it from my wiki to this one.
 * The point of this owl was supposed to be for me to tell you that you do not need to post again. Not unless you wanted to, seeing as I did not give you much to go on. But, I would be happy to get on to a third for Saffron/Dorian, unless you wanted to put sometime between this one, and the next one.

OH MY DHJSLFDHEHRHREJ
I see Kate Mara's face and I already love the bean even if I have not looked at your sandbox yet.

<3. Kate.

Ayyy ofc! Any preferences?

Liliya/Pyrrha? Evony/Lina?

RANDOM
I should be sleeping. Not that it matters. I cannot wait for this match to be over, the Elsie/Baz RP I have been waiting for will be so epic. There are no words to describe how I feel.

Seriously? In my mindbrain. Even without Elsaria(?) being labeled that could be fun. Instead of it being something immediately negative between them it could be fun and carefree. I do see Daria being sort of like WTF was that? About an interaction between them if they both see harmless flirting as 'okay'.

Re: Liliya and Regan
So, as far as I know... Regan's not at the Cup. x Any chance Liliya might be in London someplace???? <font face="Segoe Script" size="4"><font color= "#990099">Love sought <font color="#ac00e6">is good, <font color="#b84dff">but giv'n <font color="#884dff"> unsought <font color="#6666ff"> is better.  00:47, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Thinking it over
I agree, it's not to do with DARP, but blog posts here haven't always been. Once I got it out of my system, the need to 'publish' diminished rapidly, so I'll take your word for what's best. :) <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  17:26, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Since you all have team members...

Thought you should know :) (he totally made everyone pre-game cupcakes before leaving, though. He bakes when he's sad. They may or may not be slightly burned.)

Hogwarts Clearing
I went through all the pages on the Marauder's Map and thought I cleared them. Maybe I missed one or two...? ...but the majority of the work should be done for next year. <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 19:58, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

A little lost
I'm no longer sure if you need me to GM and, if so, who's involved in the match. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  11:12, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Quidditch Finals?
Ummm...I'm a little confused. What happened to the Norway/Japan game? I didn't see a notice or anything anywhere on what happened. I assume from the score they got Disqualified somehow? I just thought I'd ask. I can try to be on chat tonight if you'd rather PM. <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 12:56, October 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * I saw the notice you posted then removed. I know there's a lot of OOC stuff going on over the GMing and Quidditch finals and everything.  I know that all the tense emotions, mudslinging and angry users can make you want to throw up your hands and quit.  I can see the amount of effort you tried to put into the Cup and how smoothly everything has ran up to now.  I know some difficult decisions were made, maybe correctly and maybe incorrectly.  I just want you to know that I'm impartial to the things that have happened, and I'm not going to judge you for them.  I do have some advice, that I hope helps, but as with all advice, you can do whatever you'd like with it.


 * Allow me to try to encourage you with this...when being a leader you've been put into that position to make difficult decisions that other's don't want to make. Sometimes we get it right and rarely get thanked or noticed for it.  Sometimes we get it wrong, and that's when everyone's howling for your blood and things can get hard.  The best advice I can give you for those times is to stay strong, and don't make rash hasty decisions or comments.  Take some time, clear your head.  Try to figure out if you honestly think you made a mistake or not.  The most popular choice isn't always the right one.  Then figure out a way forward.  If you messed up, admit it.  That can go a long way towards clearing things up and calming the waters.  If you didn't, then stick to your guns.  It's a hard balance to decide how to best handle things, but that's why we need leaders...because they can make the hard decisions.  Things may be difficult for a while, but figure out the best way forward for yourself and those you're leading, and then make it happen.  Not everyone will like it or be happy about it...because people are different from one another and making everyone happy is impossible.  Still, you can try to do what's best for the majority of those you're leading, and knowing that's what you're doing makes those decisions easier.


 * Hopefully I'm helping and not making things more difficult. I know only bits and pieces of everything that's going on, and definitely not the full story, so I'm in no position to judge or offer you anything more specific...but hopefully what I've written above helps in some way, even if that's only to help you take a deep breath and feel more confident in your way forward.  You may not have seen this from me before because we're not super close friends, but I've always maintained that my job on this wiki is and always has been to encourage the admin team and try to help develop them into effective leaders, helping shoulder their burdens when I can.  Even not being part of the Admin team anymore, I still see that as my role.  When I see issues going on with the crats or admins I do my best to try to offer advice and hopefully help.  If I can help out with anything else that's going on with all this, just let me know either on owl, or let me know you'd like to PM and I'll do my best to get on chat as soon as I can tonight so we can talk.  <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7  (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:31, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

^ Bond's not the only one that's confused. We'd all appreciate a blog explaining what's going on.

Sure. I can GM if you still want the game to go forward. I know we can't always do it, but trying to keep IC and OOC consequences separate are usually the best. I'd hate to see the final cancelled IC due to only OOC stuff. If there's IC issues or reasons to cancel the game, then we still can, but dealing with the OOC issues on the administration team should be done OOC separately from the Quidditch Match. Sounds like you were ok with the match going forward, so I'll go post there now...and if I can help with any of the OOC/Administration stuff, feel free to let me know. <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:27, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

We should...
So video-chat again... Oh, when you can, can we talk later? I want to just talk.

Sandbox chat
You and Bond can feel free. :) <font face="Segoe Script" size="4"><font color= "#990099">Love sought <font color="#ac00e6">is good, <font color="#b84dff">but giv'n <font color="#884dff"> unsought <font color="#6666ff"> is better.  16:46, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Chat
Sure, but since I'm at work I can't get on chat right now. If you have a reddit account we can PM through there...otherwise you'll have to wait until I'm hone in about 4 hours. If we can't chat now, is there anything I can do in the meantime? <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 16:47, October 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll jump on as soon as I'm home. <font face="cursive" size="3" color="#104E8B" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 16:50, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Hi!
First, thank you for getting the last few pages archived, and sorry that it took me awhile to respond. I've been at home celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday. Second, the head students will be picked once I get out of class in about 2 hours :)

You are, and always have been, my dream.  I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.  17:50, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
