I can't resist. Stolen from kitty_mrowr and willfully_, who stole it from calmyourshit. Comment with a character of mine (if you're here, you probably know who they are!) and find out some TMI about their sex lives!

( PIMP POST )

Well the results of the survey are in. Ten people filled it out, including myself and Mike, and here are the results:

If we reopened NDR, would you rejoin the game?

• YES: 8
  
• NO:
• MAYBE: 2

Which means if we reopened the game, we'd have at least 8 people to start, and possibly 10. I think that's a great number! As for bringing back characters:

If yes to the above, would you want to bring back your old characters?

• YES: 5
  
• NO: 1
  
• SOME: 4

Some people want to bring back all, some of people want to bring back some of them. As of this moment, the list of characters possibly being brought back at the opening of NDR is: Lilith Moon, Pansy Parkinson, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Alicia Spinnet, Adrian Pucey, Tracey Davis, Katie Bell, Oliver Wood, Theodore Nott, Daphne Greengrass, Wayne Hopkins, Luna Lovegood, Demelza Robins, Hannah Abbott, Mandy Brocklehurst, and Michael Corner. Hestia and Kingsley will be there as well, but as Mod NPCs this time around.

As for game journals and comms, the votes were pretty tight, so the mod decision has been made as thus:

All characters will have new journals: nd_name. Once we get closer to the game, you will be asked to either re-apply for your characters (if you are making a lot of changes) or just send us a link to their old character survey if you are keeping them same. Once this has been reviewed, you will be e-mailed back with your character's new journals and passwords, which you can then change.

We are hoping to keep the game comms the same. Definitely ndr_ooc, which I think will be wiped of entries before the game starts. The question with the main comm is do we:

A) Keep it the way it is and just start adding new threads when they're finished.
B) Once we've saved all the links of threads we want to keep for the plot and timeline, wipe the main comm completely.
C) Keep the old game comm intact and make a new game comm for new threads.

Please let me know what you think of this in the comments.

As for the mod journal, it will be new. The mod journal will be risingmods . As you can see, I've already got quite a lot of work done. Please don't comment on any of the entries yet, asking for holds and such, as many of them are still works in progress. However if you want to comment on any changes that might need to be made, please feel free to do so in this post, or to e-mail me. I will of course let all of you hold PBs and characters before we open up the game to new applicants.

We will likely be starting up a game wiki, since people seemed to be interested. Let me know if you're interested in working on the Wiki and once we get more things decided we can work on that. Nyx, I know you really wanted to do this, so perhaps you can be the main Wiki person with me? Let me know.

Also, another idea that I had was to make a sort of weekly update post, where one-two people will be responsible for making posts in the OOC community with a round-up of all threads that have been completed, organized by the game-date on which they occurred. If that sounds confusing, please see an example of such a post at a game I used to play at: HERE. I will be looking for one-two people to do this weekly, so let me know if you might be interested in that as well?

Now here is the part of the survey that was the most divided, that is, what to do with the plot. The results played out as such:

What should we do about the old game history?

• Keep all of it and just set the game two months later: 5
  
• Start the game fresh: 0
  
• Keep some of the old history, but start the game fresh: 5

Basically what we need to decide is what plot you would like to keep, and what you would like to use. One suggestion that was made that both I, Mike and Odyssey (my pseudo assistant mod) liked was:

I like the idea of keeping things quiet, people generally assuming that the DE's have died off again (Grannies going on about how kids today have no stamina, men in pubs assuming it was just kids making a statement who then got bored) and only the people who knew about Pandora's Box etc knowing that they've not actually gone away. As for moving the Ministry ball and starting from there, in September there's Full Moon on the 15th, the Autumn Equinox on the 22nd and the end of the Celtic month on the 29th. The 22nd, as a quarter day, would probably be the best day for the Ministry ball.

It might be interesting to have the ball on the 22nd, however I don't know if that's enough time to get everything ready. Another option would be a Halloween Ball, but that might be too far away.

An idea I had was that we might take the Pandora plot out and pretend it never happened, and then add it back in as a new plot. That would mean that several threads and plots haven't occured (Lilith painting Tracey, Tracey getting hurt, Lilith getting captured, Tracey and Seamus and Theo helping to rescue her, and Tracey going into hiding, etc). This might work for some people who wanted to rework their plot. And we could always re-do the capturing plot along with the Pandora's box plot, which would be fun.

Basically, this post is for you to comment on the above mentioned stuff, but mainly the plot. So basically, what I'm asking is: Please comment below with what plot you specifically want to keep from the old game for your characters. It has been suggested that it might make the game more appealing to other players if we lose some of the old ships for now, and don't start with all our characters paired off, so keep that in mind? Also, which of the "Big Events" of the plot would you like to keep. A helpful place to look at what big plot we had is the >TIMELINE post at the old mod journal. For example, it might be good to keep the beginning stuff (Azkaban breakout, the succession of attacks that lead to the evolving Dark Mark, the break in at Malfoy Manor (and subsequent death of Lucius) and the murder of the "spy" Viktor Krum. That would leave out the Battle of Hogwarts (which would allow the new players to take place in the revelation of the new Dark Lords identity) as well as most of the Pandora plot and the attack at the Ball. And Lil's kidnapping.

So... comment away!

Please to be discussing in the comments the pros, cons and ideas for resurrecting NDR, so we don't spam people's e-mails! :D
