Firstly, I'm sorry for seeming to have desserted you all. I've been unwell. But I'm back now.
The voting has been up for long enough now, and it seems that continuing from book 7 is the option to take. This means those who are dead in the books are dead. I will delete my characters that are supposed to be dead, and if you have any characters that are now dead as well, they will also be deleted.
We will also need to see who is active, and remove the inactive characters. As soon as we have a plot (which I would love some ideas on) we can advertise to get more members.

Good to see you back! Hopefully your health is back to normal?
I'm thinking of a few things for plot. I'll let you know when they become clearer to me.

It's not back to normal; but it's better =) Great, Auz. I look forward to seeing them.
What are you whinging about, Fred? I have to get rid of Remus, Sirius, Severus (nooo -clings-), Moody... lol

That's what I like to hear Sev. That you're getting better, not having to get rid of so many characters... but then again....
Here is the basic outline that I propose.
The Ministry is a wreck. Who is in charge? Should the staff be trusted? Who is still clinging to the idea of Voldemort? The auror office is confused who to listen to as the Minister and the head of Law Enforcement are giving them all two different agendas (what exactly, I haven't thought through enough).
The trio is on the next part of schooling. Auror training I reckon, but that can be up to players.
Hogwarts get a new Headmaster. One who wants to change everything? How classes are structured, punishment, and so on. Perhaps even wants to get rid of the housing system as it doesn't make students work together enough. New professors (as well as old)- divided on how they stand with the Headmaster?
Just some things I was knocking around (thus the over use of question marks). No one has to agree. Maybe Hogwarts shouldn't be as big a part of the site as it is?
Thoughts? Arguments?
And another question mark for good measure?

So you are talking a few years out, with Harry and co. in training as Aurors and what-not, therefore having Ginny out of Hogwarts as well?
We could still incorperate Hogwarts into it perhaps, if people want. Though I'm happy if we don't. But I do like the idea of a change at Hogwarts. Stricter rules and punishments, no houses, etc.
The Ministry would easily be a wreck, since Voldemort stuffed it up quite nicely. Perhaps even a new group starting to try and change the wizarding world? Only it doesn't have to be as radical as the Death Eaters were, or it could be.

It doesn't have to be that far from the end. I guess Ginny may want to be out. Perhaps the trio wants to re-do the 7th as they never completed it, although personally I'm tired of playing in Hogwarts.
Perhaps Barty could have a sub-plot. He regained strength but a bit too late and has missed everything. I doubt he'd try to gain any power or anything. He'd sort of be lost. Maybe it's the end for him too.

No offense meant to Barty; but I can't see him trying to gain power. He doesn't strike me as the 'leader' type, and I can't see many happy with him to be like that. If one of them tried to take Voldemort's place, there would be fights, etc. Most will just give up anyway. I think it's the end for the Death Eaters, which is why the Malfoys simply gave up in the end. A lot of them would be lost.
Fenrir... I don't know. I think he'd just return to the werewolf community and forget about everyone.
Getting rid of Hogwarts would mean I have to get rid of Hagan, Saunak, Salsiar, Hagrid, and Dante as well. And Sevrin and Kronos too possibly. Haha I'll have hardly any characters left at the end of this. I can't see Rimmer surviving the battle, nor Salem.

I think it's time for new characters. Although we need some kind of evil somewhere. I've been playing with a brother for Hamish (not the one in his bio, so that would need to be changed a bit).
I didn't say we had to get rid of Hogwarts. I just don't give a toss on playing there myself. Others can go at it as they like. But maybe each floor should just have a category instead of all the rooms.
Anyway, we need more people which is going to be hard as most other Harry Potter RP sites have slowed to crawls as well. We need something super amazing!

Yes, new characters is definately what we need. With people like Sage, there is some kind of evil somewhere.
Hogwarts can be there, just on a smaller scale; so people could have students there if they want. Myself, I don't care either way.
I know, I've seen so many sites dying. What would be super amazing? A new evil? A new war?

I don't know. Something to keep peoples attention. I'm not another site, which happens to be a bit busier than here, but I'm losing interest fast as they have no plot and no one seems to actually be roleplaying. Only class lists and that.
Maybe there should be conflict with another wizarding country? A bit of a modern twist. It would be distanced but effect wizards at the same time? Threat of invasion by the Thailand wizarding army or something? That was just off the top of my head, and could be complete nonsense.
That date rule may need looking at as well. The one who wanted it isn't here anymore and no one seems to really be using it anyway.

The date rule is not something I was able to get used to..
Conflict is always good. Maybe something like the house elves decide they want to be in charge, or the werewolves/vampires decide to take over or make war. Hah I have no idea right now.
I really want to rp! ><

A house elf revolt. Then Hermione can say "I told you so" to Ron. XD
We could start with a simple plot and add to it when we start getting a new collection of players and that. I want to roleplay too.
I'll post the new character and edit Hamish's.

That would be great if you could do that. =)
We need to work out categories and boards as well. Perhaps: Ministry -St Mungos -MoM -(other places that would fit under that category)
Hogwarts -inside -outside -(something like that maybe)
Wizarding World -Diagon Alley -Knocturn Alley -Hogsmeade -Wizarding Homes -Order Headquarters -(other places of interest)
Muggle World -Muggle London -Non-Wizarding Homes -(Anywhere else we can think of)

Looks good. I think that covers everything. All old posts can be erased as well. All the things in the archives and that. I don't think anyone is going to look at that stuff anymore.
Maybe we need a new graphic at the top too. The name doesn't fit either. Unless there is another war of some sort. Or metaphorically describing the mess people will have to sort out?
