I got it now Eden, thanks!

I think I will definitely have to try and craft something up once the character sheet and test are out.  *grin*

I think I have gotten two of your pictures already Saerra :P But I don't see a third one -goes all secret agent and pulls out his goggles of thread hunting-

From the book it's about 6 hours due North of London which would make it outside Edinburgh...BUT it's probably in the highlands.

Ah! Thank you. That makes it easier to pinpoint it, coming from Ireland :)

I was baking cupcakes! I'm replying to it now, though, keep your knickers on

That is quiet impossible, I'm afraid :P

So... who else is going to be playing a first year?

*Raises hand*

you have to sign on to the wiki using the name you used when you first joined.

Actually, you shouldn't really have to.  As long as you're signed into E, you should be able to access the Wiki.  <--I could be wrong though, I just don't remember ever having to sign on.

This would be assuming that the Hogwarts Express travels the same distance per hour that regular trains travel.  I like to think that it doesn't :P

Did I miss where the UK school is situated, by the way?

A non-poisonous one *grins* Also doubting a very small toad would be very helpful, now that I think about it.
The blue one I posted is quite epic, though. If it's allowed to bend reality a bit and say it's not poisonous and about a hand full of toad, would that work?

*wafts a hand at*

One toad and you can charm it different colors, you might get extra credit, who knows.  XD

Saerrael

One toad is all I need *waggles eyebrows*

True, I was going by the average train speed, it could go faster and end up in the Highlands.

That only works if you never change your E screen name.

Does this mean that Niall can have a magenta owl? o.O

<3  I think the Highlands are far more romantic, so I vote for that bwahahaha.

You make a good point!  Touche!

Well, they set off at 11 am, and keep travelling until after sun set which is at 8.05pm in Scotland on the 1st of September. Over nine hours.

I think I'm going to have this kitty and call it Cheshire.


Zealously Jaded

Shall we just agree it's in Scotland?

Nadir

I think it's in New Zealand and the wizards are trolling the noobs.

I basically agree with this.

I died reading this.... Just died. My room mates are looking at me like i am some kind of creeper now.

Alright, so I think that I have gotten my character sorted out, now for the background... Just need an idea... hrmmm.

CurvyKitten

I'm so in, ~runs off to read the wiki~ wow... you guys put so much work into it. It really looks amazing.

Nadir

I know right now we can choose almost any year to put our characters in, but what about our second character? Do they all have to be first years or do we get to pick again?

Haloriel

I think I have a pretty decent idea of my character, and it does seem to make sense that Hogwarts is hidden somewhere in Scotland.

CurvyKitten

I have an idea that for my two different characters, but I'll just submit the second when I figure her out more and let the GM's stick her where they think she will fit.

Though my main concept has a older brother in a higher grade then she is at the school as well. Is that ok? Wanted to know before I work it all out in my head.

Kendra

Wow good morning to all the Hoggie gamers :P

could you all do myself and Aiden a huge favour here ... if asking us a question highlight it in color or bolden it so we can differentiate it from all the chatter ;)
it'll just make it easier is all.

Hogwarts has always been in Scotland as far as I was aware but completely unplottable so you lot at the moment as the muggles you are would not have a glimmer where it is :P
XD

just remember to keep the pets some bit realistic as well  ::)
you wouldn't see a Brazilian red eyed speckled owl indigenous only to the country in the cold wilds of the United Kingdom  ;)
(seriously don't think there is even such an owl)

I love seeing all the pets and visuals you guys are using for your characters.
Aiden has been trying to get me to play a student as well and am still considering it, if I do it'd be a firstie as well though.

Now just a heads up ... when we do post the sorting quiz, take your time to answer it. Answer it as if you are your character and not you personally, it does help to sort you a little better. Don't expect a reply pm straight away.
Patience is a virtue after all  O:)

Someone said they couldn't enter the wiki ... have you since been able to get on to it or is it simply the HogwartsAFuture page you can't click into?
If you can get to the wiki just scroll to the games and click there. From there simply scroll through the games to H and click on our game.

Thanks so much again for all the interest and compliments on the game, it means a lot.
We really look forward to playing with you guys ... okay that sounds pervy but tis true  >:)

<3

Kendra

you're a sweetie and thank you for boldening it  ;D

your second character can be what you would like it to be providing a very good character concept has been put forward ;)
So if you want an adult character or a student then that is perfectly fine.
