Hellooooo Hogsmeade!  
SO. Hogsmeade has been open for five hours now, but I've been unavailable (again) to post the official welcoming post. If you guys want to kick me in the rear, I don't blame you. ;)


At any rate! Hogsmeade is open today through Monday night EDT. That's four days! Well...technically three and a half at this point, but who's to get into little details like that? You can post anything you like, as long as it's vaguely related somehow to HogwartsisHome. There will be contests and discussions and lots of fun stuff, so you get to earn lots and lots of points and knuts for your House!

Here's the basic set-up for this weekend:

Contests: 70/60/50/30 | 50/40/30/15
Discussions/Debates: 30 points 15 knuts for first response; 10 points and 2 knuts for every response thereafter
Making a post: 30 points and 15 knuts
Responses to posts: 5 points and 1 knut

Some activities, such as the Sugarquill one, vary a bit, but the post will let you know what's going on.




NOW. For the first contest! This is a text contest open until Friday 11pm EDT. We just had Halloween, and I'm sure everyone saw lots of scary movies in the last few weeks. But what would the movies be if they starred the Harry Potter cast? By this I mean, give us a title of a scary movie, but altered for the HP universe. Maybe Scary Movie 3: When Sirius Escaped. Well, I dunno, I'm not that creative. A poll will be posted on Saturday for voting! Comment here, they'll be screened, and you can enter as many as you like!

Can we only submit one?

You can do more than one! But you'll only win first place once. :D

Yup! You can always add more before the deadline.

Does this mean we get points just for chattering in a vaguely on-topic manner?

Yup. *shifty-eyes* Because, uhm, this Hogsmeade weekend is about socializing and doing HiHie things, and talking with HiHers and making friends and whatnot is GOOD. SO...yes!

Sounds good to me!

Hey I asked this in the officials community, but I'll ask you again here: Is there a limit to how many "making a post"s we can do?
[identity profile] keristars.livejournal.com on November 3rd, 2006 05:46 am (UTC)
I didn't think to make a limit on them, but if it's excessive (say...over 5 posts that aren't clearly HiH related, or that are nonsensical), I may not give points for them. We don't want to spam HiHers with posts, just because there's points, after all. :P

post what here? and go ahead and pop an email over, or just comment here if you want, since it's screened.
