And we're off
The snitch has been released and the quaffle thrown into the air, the match has finally begun! Fans feel free to post threads watching the match in the stands and players feel free to post threads interacting with other players in the air. And threads between fans and players should be set at breakfast before the match.
Assignment 011 | Root, Root, Root for the Home Team
"As a surprise for Harry, they had painted a large banner on one of the sheets Scabbers had ruined. It said Potter for President, and Dean, who was good at drawing, had done a large Gryffindor lion underneath. Then Hermione had performed a tricky little charm so that the paint flashed different colors." -- Page 147, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Hey there quidditch fans! The highly anticipated match is starting today and every dedicated fan knows that in order to fully support their team they make a banner. This assignment is a graphic assignment to make as many banners as you would like to help cheer on your team. They can be large gifs where your character has put a little animation of the banner or they can be more simple and have a slogan on there. For every animated banner you will earn the team it is in support of 20 points and the nonmoving banners will be worth 10 points.
Quidditch players can get in on this too by making posters to encourage people to attend the match or to come and cheer them on. The same point system applies here as well.
There are no limits to the amount of banners or posters you can create, just go and have some fun! Please be sure to tag all graphics with 'clonewartsquidditch' so we can all have an organized place to admire each other's work. Direct any questions here or to Healer Smethwyck, as the man is an avid quidditch fanatic and would love to answer any questions.
Check out our updated roster, now including Dean Thomas :)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Quidditch!
As previously posted on the main, Clonewarts is about to launch into a week long event simulating the long anticipated quidditch match starting on Saturday, January 25th! We want everyone to participate, so we've come up with a system to earn points for whatever team your character is rooting for.
Quidditch Players:
We will be sending out randomized asks with certain actions your player will take. In order for your character to preform the action, you will have to respond to the ask before it expires (a time will be placed on the ask of when to answer by). If you do not respond to the ask before it expires, your character will miss the opportunity to preform that action.
In said asks you will be able to write a drabble about your character either succeeding or failing depending on whether you answered before it expired.
Feel free to interact with other quidditch players/spectators during pre-match events.
Earn points for you team by making posters, an assignment which will be posted tomorrow with further details.
Spectators:
This is very similar to how quidditch players
Spectators will gain points for the team that they support by answering these asks.
Feel free to interact with players during pre-match events and with other spectators during the match.
Earn points for their team by making banners, an assignment which will be posted tomorrow with further details.
We have a spreadsheet to keep everyone up to date on the match and current score.
You should tag all posts related to this event as clonewartsquidditch, as well as track this tag.
On Friday, January 24th, and Saturday, January 25th, there will also be a ball that Viktor Krum is hosting for all the students in honor of the match. Some of the professional scouts and players will be in attendance as well as the Weird Sisters, which many already had the chance to meet at Slughorn's Christmas party. Links to this will be posted in the ooc but members are also welcome to post on the dash with what I like to call "mini dash paras" where you write one or two short paras accompanied by a gif. That way people who are unable to be at the party at the same time can still interact and characters can talk to more than one person.
Have a great time everyone!
How will quidditch matches be held? Neatchat?
At the moment, we're still trying to figure out exactly where the matches will be held, but I believe almost all of the methods we're considering include a Neatchat.
More (incredibly exciting) news to come soon!
I've got some exciting news, children!!
I'm very pleased to announce that the Aurors and myself are working on starting Quidditch again!
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, ideas, etc., don't be afraid to send me- or one of the aurors -an owl!
Until then... Get practicing!
