Playtime Changes!
« on: January 10, 2012, 06:15:58 PM »
Hi folks!

I think we are about ready to roll into a new playtime and it's also about time to have some fun again. We've been quiet on the plotting front giving everybody some time to get settled after the events of Deathly Hallows and I believe most of you will have tied up their loose ends by now.

Which brings me to the interesting part of this post... does anybody have ideas for plots? We could put out the usual "event A" at "school B" but I would much rather do something with you guys that is more global and will affect this new wizarding world we have to play with. So if you have ideas and thoughts, bring them on.

I am looking for things that lend themselves to more than 2 participants - so all those ideas about being the next dark lord, saving the day and doing what no wizard has done before should be tabled now. I have some myself, but I'd rather take up one of your suggestions than to simply tell you what we should be doing.

So... post to me. :)

Hi guys.

I was thinking something like an illness? I dunno if its a lame idea or something. But an illness that spread from magical creatures to wizards, that makes everyone deathly ill.

Or Rogue deatheaters attacking innocent people.. *Elise hides in a cupboard* << someone doesn't like that idea...

I actually do have an idea that The Song Faerie and i have been talking about for some time.

HOWEVER, before i say anything i'm going to have to talk to her first. ^_^

cause it is after all half her idea...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: i like the idea of magical Plague.

in regards to the Death eater comment, i think it should be something like the opposite.
we have alot of purebloods. what are the chances that they come under suspicion.
kind of like a witchhunt, pardon the pun. where people are eager to get suspected DEs off the streets, AND their unmarked associates.

I like both of these ideas and could be something that would be very playable.

We have a few mediwizards around who could work on it and we obviously have chars who could be patients.

So this is definitely an option!




Random thought on my part - We could have someone act out against purebloods believing that the war was their fault and turn the tables on them.




Curious to hear that idea then, Morrigan!

Yay! This sounds exciting!

I was thinking the other day about some kind of an event where students from all three schools would have the chance to meet each other. Personally, I've wished I could rp some of my student characters with students in other schools, but usually it's not possible. Soo my idea is maybe we could have an event that's sponsored by the three schools where students can met each other. It could be a Winter Festival type thing if we wanted to do it soon or a spring/summer thing if we wanted to wait a bit. There could be activities and games. Maybe a quidditch game, mixing up the students so that there are some from each school on each team. Maybe a dance/ball type thing or a costume contest? (Wini's really been wanting to find some reason to dress up lately xD). There could be activities for adult characters too.

Just throwing that out there! I'm excited to do something though xD

I like that idea. Something that is more permissive than the triwizard tournament which would only ever realistically open up things to a few students per school and thus be rather limited.

Perhaps, Beauxbatons could host a winter ball? is that too girly?

Should something happen at this event beyond characters meeting?

I liked the elemental scene heating up, but I think that one might need more prep, and it's not completely global.

And Peter's still too young to be the next dark lord ;) I think it'd be interesting to see a new type of supremacy crop up though. Prejudices against purebloods could be a really interesting idea.

I do like the inter-school idea. It'll give some of the students who have less plots a chance to get rejuvenated.

Rogue magical creatures? Some sort of disgruntlement with the wizarding government somewhere with like, the centaurs or mermen or giants. Um, some random little country deciding it hates everything else (WWIII wizarding style >>). New families trying to assert power now that some influential families have been busted due to dark associations. Uh, discovery of a really weird new potion or creature or ingredient or spell that goes wrong or becomes a big hit.

Instead of the triwizard tournament thing, have like teams? Conceivably every student could be on a different team specializing in something.

elementals - inga and I have had some thoughts on this a while back. I'll see if I catch her tomorrow and I shall offer a write up on what we thought. There is tons that could be done there and be very cool.

If it's a victory ball it should be at the rebuilt Hogwarts. Having guests from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang is something we could somehow justify without too much trouble.

Maybe this ball can be combined with the mad creatures idea? Something could happen in the Forbidden Forest that night?

I don't think Nolan necessarily has a reason to act out in such a manner just yet. It could very well be coming from the giants or centaurs... or maybe some remaining Death Eaters who went happy raising inferi... I am not sure. There are lots of possibilities as to why creatures could be going mad or attacking. If Inga wants to involve Nolan, cool, but we need to wait on her for that decision. XD

I'm just coming up with magical catastrophes, so feel free to tell me i'm crazy.

Someone went a little crazy trying to develop storm magic and caused a magical hurricane. Someone stumbled upon the quintapeds. Someone formed a mafia-type thing somewhere. People released from Azkaban who were imprisoned wrongly went insane and started assassinating people.

magical accidents...

I would absolutely adore doing a "sorcerer's apprentice" type plot with time turners. I've always loved time travel as a possibility in HP and I think it would be priceless if a young unexperienced wizard created a time loop where the same things happen over and over again and trap a group of people in a bubble of time.

Crazy thought, maybe we could mix the ball and the time thing? Like BB and Durmies are at Hogwarts, and they somehow get the whole lot of them stuck in a bubble of time? >.>
