FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): 1. Ravenclaw isn't in first place in the house points race! Why is that and how can I help out?
House points are given to characters that attend classes, doing class projects/activites, or do good deeds around the school. The best way to earn points for your house is to attend classes. You can check which classes are in session and what activities are due in the
Announcements Board thread in the main Common Room Forum.
2. How do I properly make an announcement about a class or homework assignment in the Announcements thread?
When helping out your housemates by making a post in the Announcements thread, you must include the following:
*Link to the Classroom thread/Forum the lesson will be/is hosted in.
*Either copy or directly quote the Staff Members lesson notice.
*Ensure that a due date is listed for each class project/activity.
*Read the recent posts before you add your own, we don't want any doubles.
3. I'm new to the role play! How do I get started and where do I go from here?
SnitchSeeker is full of friendly people that are more than willing to help new members find their way around the site and in the RPG. If you can't find someone to role play with, you can either PM or VM someone, or you can just jump right on in and have your character introduce himself or herself. Another great place to look for someone to RP with or just get involved in what is going on in the school is the
School Chat located in the Hogwarts Haven club forum. Or the
Merlin's Beard thread where all the juicy school plot action will be quoted for stalking or even getting yourself and your character involved in.
[To join the club if you are not a member go to your User CP (user control panel) under on the panel on the left under the heading 'Networking' click on 'Social Groups' then look for the club called 'SS RPG Addicts' choose 'join group' in the right corner. As soon as you get a confirmation PM you can join in the discussions.]
4. How do I choose a model for my character? How can I get graphics made for my character?
To choose a model for your character, just find an actress, actor, or other celebrity whose age and appearance closely matches the age and appearance of your character. If you'd like to get graphics made for your character, visit
Madame Malkin's and request a set from one of our talented members.
5. Can I have dragon for a pet like Hagrid had in the books?
No, no dragons. All students are allowed to bring any one of the traditional magical pets to school: an owl, a toad, a rat, a cat. All other desired pets must be approved by both the Care of Magical Professor
Ariana Black and School Admins either (
Cassirin) or (
grangerfan8). If you wish to bring a particular pet then PM (Private Message)
Ariana Black and
Cassirin or
grangerfan8 to ask for permission.
6. How quickly does time pass in the role play and how do I know what time of year it is?
Each school year is what we call a term. The current
school year is 2088-2089. So where students would usually go to school from September to June, our terms do not actually last a year. Each month in the role play is equivalent to two weeks in real life, so you'll find that time flies fairly quickly for your characters. As each month passes an announcement will pop up with a yellow speaker icon indicating which month we are in. By clicking on this, it will then inform you on what the weather is like in the role play and you will be able to respond to it accordingly. After all you wouldn't wear a skirt when it’s snowing.
