				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>Due to multiple inquiries about the prior age change rule that implemented magic developing in students at age 15 <em>only</em>, the GM's have decided to revise said rule. <br>We feel that such strict, linear guidelines take away from the originality of the event and as our goal for this game is to<em> create</em> magic and not stifle it, we have decided to revise the rule to a more flexible range of years.<br><br>As of this post, ALL characters are allowed to have developed magic within the age range of 13-15.<br>Flickers and slight hints of budding magic may appear at younger ages but there may be NO certainty until the above stated age range has occurred. <br>For anyone that may have edited their prior posts and character sheets to comply with the old rule, we sincerely apologize and encourage you to feel free to edit it again to whichever number you are more comfortable with. <br><br>Thank you and have a great day!<br></div><br>

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>Mab and I have discussed the subject of selecting Prefects and Mousquetaire Femelle/Mâle (which are fancy ways of saying Head Girl and Head Boy). We have come to the agreement that players who wish to have their character become a Prefect should submit a well put together paragraph written in character on why they should be a Prefect for their respective mansion. However, a few things should be taken into account:<br><br>Prefects are statuses for 5th and 6th year students only<br>Mousquetaire Femelle/Mâle are statuses for 7th years only<br>This is strictly voluntary for players<br>This will be the only time we will be doing this, as this is the first IC year we will be playing. Subsequent years after this, we will have enough knowledge of how your characters interact with others to make a decision without needing this information.</div>

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>At this time, I am asking that no new carriage scenes be started. However, any scenes already in play can still be played out. Though I would like everything wrapped up by March 1st. We will be transitioning to the Sorting Ceremony thread later tonight, or tomorrow. Please do not post in that thread until I make the opening post with the HeadMi. Once we get into the sorting, I'll explain how we do the process. It won't be hard.<br><br>Also, please make sure you have your student schedules are listed with your character sheets and that you have your student service chosen. Face claims need to be checked as well to see if your playby is listed or not. If it's not, please let me know.<br><br>Thanks!</div>

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>Due to recent circumstances and certain issues brought to my attention, for groups of 3+ characters in a scene together <strong>we will be employing a posting order!</strong> This is to prevent people from feeling like they are being skipped within a scene, and to prevent chaos in general. <strong>Posting orders are to be decided upon by the players involved in the scene.</strong><br><br>I realize not everyone is comfortable with having a posting order, but this needs to be done now in order to prevent any future complaints by players, both OOC and via PM.<br><br>This rule may be amended regarding small scenes within larger scenes. For example: a chat between two Quidditch players during a pre-game meeting. That particular scene would need no posting order if it is just two people interacting.</div>

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>So Mab had just brought to my attention, that we are in need of some NPCs!

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">GM ANNOUNCEMENT!</span></strong><br><br>Hey guys. This announcement is for Carriage scenes. The GMs would like everyone to be able to do what they will with their characters freely, and get things moving. So we would like all scenes wrapped up by Monday March 17th at 11:59 pm EST. (-5 GMT) If your scene isn't finished by then, it will remain unfinished.<br><br>Sorry, but we'd just like everyone to move on because we have interesting plots in store for you guys.<br><br>Thanks!</div>
