Sorry you missed it.  Hope to catch you next time! In the meantime, you can always develop your character in Diagon Alley or the "Outside the Ministry" section.  Okay, thank you! I think I will do just that |

I have a question! It's been kind of a while since I've been on, and I've been catching up on site news and all that... I have a Ministry character already, but I didn't take the placement quiz this time around. Can I use the character I already had from the past, or do I need to wait for the quiz to come round again and take it for him? Sheesh, it's at times like these that I wish I wouldn't have gone to college. Maybe then I'd have more time to be on here and be up with the rules and news and all that good stuff

Either one is perfectly fine, but either way it goes, you'll have to retake the quiz once placement times rolls around again. When we reopened the MoM, all employees had to retake the quiz to get assigned to a department and be given a unique, individual job in their assigned department.
As I said in my last reply, though, you can always play your character in Diagon Alley or "Outside the Ministry" to develop him/her between now and placement time. Hope to see you around the RP soon!

Would I have to retake the quiz to change the character's name as if she got married? Only her last name would be changing and she'd still be the same character

If she got married and changed her name, simply PM about it to your boss, and that's all you've got to do. |

And how would I go about taking the quiz?

Is it okay to make up the scores your character got in OWLs and NEWTs?

A promotion wouldn't be something I could really answer OOC, as that would be more IC between your charrie and his/her boss. When placement times comes around, you're more than welcome to retake the placement quiz for the purposes of a promotion/division change, but we unfortunately can't guarantee that kind of thing can be granted. For now, your best bet is to just show your charrie's skills IC and hope to look good in front of the boss. Quote:

Because this is an IC assignment, this sort of question would be better suited for your department head. For the time being, grangerfan8 is heading the Magical Creatures department, so send her a PM with your questions, and she'll know more about your character's individual assignment.

I have a question about the Picket/Sign-making thing....
... Is it ONLY for Ministry characters? Because my Ministry character isn't the type to really be proactive in taking a stance either way... whereas, I have other characters who are loud and boisterous in my head, that would be more apt to take a loud, vocal approach.

Just get involved and create your own role-plays with fellow ministry employees. Have your character make some friends, or go shopping in Diagon Alley. There is plenty you can do in the meantime without waiting on myself (or anyone else). The Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley forums are completely open for your exploration, except where the threads are labelled as 'private'. So put your character out there and see what happens!
You can also post in the ministry and diagon alley chat threads to see if you can get anyone specifically to role play with you.

As long as the strike stays outside the Ministry of Magic as it is now, your character is more than welcome to join in. However, I do believe the ones striking are planning to move into the Ministry of Magic quite soon, and therefore your character would only have guest access and not full access (and I'm not exactly sure where in the Ministry the strike will go).
Having said that, though, the strike is still out in the streets at this moment, so now may be your best shot to get a non-employee character involved rather than waiting until they move indoors.
For others wanting to do the same, you'd just need to make sure that you're playing a character who is of age (i.e. no students) and that you're aware members not currently sorted into the Ministry of Magic will have limited access to Ministry RPG threads.

Not every placement. Just the first time around, when the Ministry RP got redone. So we could all get the shiny new department tags and so forth. After that, the only time we should need to retake the quiz is if we want to possibly transfer, or change characters.

Be sure to let you current Dept Head know when you plan to do this, for records purposes. |

Was just wondering : Is there going to be a Minister of Magic election again this year? Because I remember something about the Minister serving for about a year and it's been about a year since the last election.....?
