| | What year is it in the Ministry RPG? | | The timeline of the Ministry of Magic RPG, as well as all the site-wide RPGs here on SnitchSeeker takes place many MANY years after Harry Potter's defeat of Voldemort. It is currently the year 2097 in the RPG. | | Who is the Minister/Ministry RPG Admin? | | The current Minister for Magic is Charles Hollingberry, and the Ministry RPG Admin is sweetpinkpixie. Should you wish to interact with the Minister IC or have an OOC need related to the Ministry RPG, please contact the appropriate person. | | Who are the Ministry department heads? | The Ministry department heads are played by selected site members. They can be identified either with an italicised, coloured Username and/or a department head icon in their profile.
 .
The current department head staff can be found through the Section Managers by scrolling down to the Ministry Department Heads section. | | How do I become a department head? | | You are invited to become a department head by the Ministry RPG Admin. We do not advertise open positions and you cannot apply to become a department head. If you are interested in becoming a department head, the best way to improve your chances of being asked are to be polite and helpful to others on and off SS, use good grammar, frequently roleplay creatively around the Ministry, and engage with your fellow employees. | | How can I get involved? | | To become involved in the Ministry, just have your characters take an active interest in the goings on there. There are a wide array of places for them to complete the tasks their job ask of them, interact with numerous Ministry employees, and many nooks and crannies to be discovered. From time to time, there are events and plots that take place in the Ministry, some of which will lead to other happenings and/or carry over into the Diagon Alley or Hogwarts RPGs. | | Do I have to start off as an intern/junior employee? | | No, you do not have to start off at an intern or junior-level position at the Ministry. There are multitudes of jobs to choose from at varying levels. The Ministry RPG Admin and department heads determine your character's job at the Ministry based on the information provided during Placement (age, exam scores, experience, areas of expertise, etc.). | | Can I roleplay more than one character? | | Yes! You can roleplay up to TWO characters in the Ministry as employees as long as you can keep up with them - but you may also choose to play only one character if that is your preference. It is strongly encouraged that you have them listed in your profile and differentiate characters while posting with different colours, fonts, etc. Please note that it is not possible to have two characters in the same department. The Ministry of Magic forum is also open to the public, meaning that you are welcome to play any of your characters coming to visit, file a claim, or seek any sort of services from any of the departments. Be careful that not all threads are open to the public and there may be IC (or OOC) depending on the nature of the RP for posting in them! | | Are there restrictions on what my character can be like? | There are no restrictions on what your character can be like, but keep in mind the age of your character and that the SSRPG takes place after Harry and gang have graduated. Employees at the Ministry must be of age and their jobs are based on their experience and knowledge. As for characters with special abilities (e.g., Animagus, Metamorphmagus, werewolf), we ask that you be realistic and know that there may be IC repercussions if the special ability is abused and should be approved by the Ministry RPG admin. Also note that there are some legal registrations that would have happened or licenses to require (Animagi, Legilimens, and second-wand owners are registered with Law Enforcement, known werewolves are registered with Magical Creatures, etc.).
If you are not sure what is or isn't allowed, simply ask the Ministry RPG Admin by PM. | | Can I change my character during the term? | | You may not change your character during the term. The character you start with at the beginning of the term is the one you will finish the term with. You cannot change characters until the in-between term period (when the Ministry is closed). Changing your character when the term is in session may result in post deletion, OOC suspension from the Ministry RPG until the next term, etc. | | Will I get in trouble for viewing other departments/private areas? | | Of course not! In fact, we encourage you (the out of character you) to view these areas as they will help you (the out of character you) figure out what is going on in the Ministry story. However, (and we can't stress this enough) you must remember that just because you (the out of character you) have access to this information, your character would not necessarily have access or be aware of what is going on. It is also encouraged that anything you happen to stumble upon in your browsing and stalking be reported to the Gulping Gargoyles thread. | | What do I do if I have a problem with another employee? | | If you have a problem with another Ministry employee, please don't argue or fight with them publicly unless you are willing to accept the IC consequences for those actions. PM a department head or the Ministry RPG Admin about your problem and allow them to deal with it. Severe arguments and the like are cause for punishment and/or firing from the Ministry if it is an IC issue; if an OOC issue, site warnings, infractions, and/or banning may occur. | | What do I do if I have a problem with a department head? | | If you are having issues with a particular department headr, please PM the Ministry RPG Admin immediately. | | What if I can't find an answer to my question? | You may ask any IC questions you may have related to the Ministry in any areas of the Ministry RPG, wherever and whomever makes the most sense for your IC questions to be asked and answered. These occurrences can create some great RP opportunities and are highly encouraged!
Any OOC questions or concerns you may have regarding the Ministry RPG should be directly PMed to Ministry RPG Admin or the appropriate department head. | All times are GMT. The time now is 07:33 PM. |
