Here is the new thread for posting points that are awarded, and please make sure that your points comply with this new point system, that Foggidawn and myself have created to avoid point inflation.
- Heads of Houses are able to award or take away up to 50 points to/from an individual student at one time, with the understanding that such a large amount is for an extra hard effort (or an extra big misdeed), and that most common deeds should involve smaller numbers.
- Teachers may award up to 20 points per student at a time, keeping in mind that 20 is for a large projects or complicated questions, and that simple questions should fall in the 1-10 point range. Teachers can also take away up to 10 points per student if there is some sort of problem in class.
- Prefects may award up to 10 points, and take away up to 5 points at a time.
- Any of the above may check with Headmistress Alisha for permission to award or remove greater numbers of points.
- Questions in the Easy Points lounge will continue to be worth 10 points, with the possibility of splitting points between two people if both give a partial correct answer.
- Any entry in the writing contest earns one point, and a winning entry gets an additional ten points.
- Under no condition should any one student earn more than 100 points for their house for any single act (i.e. winning a game or challenge, defeating the Dark Lord, etc.). Otherwise, we get point inflation, and it just goes crazy, with houses racking up tens of thousands of points in a month.
- The House Cup will be awarded every three months, at which time every house starts over with a clean slate. The Next House Cup will be awarded September 30, 2012!
The Houses
Gryffindor: 70
Hufflepuff: 50
Ravenclaw: 60
Slytherin: 70

Gryffindor might be at 210, due to a elp question that I answered...not sure if those points were added up!

What about the staircases? Are points earned for those?

14ErisofDiscord
No, no points are earned at the Staircase. It's just dorky fun. :)
15Catreona
So, I don't need to report the two points I just earned for Gryffindor?
Can we lose points for stuff we do outside the castle grounds, like in Hogsmeed?

Does getting arrested in Hogsmeade for PI take away points?
17StarlightLily
What's PI, Betty? And what's your time zone?

I might have muttered something about a pox...

Is it around 9.45 p.m over there?
21Betty30554
Indeed it is. What does your watch say?
22ErisofDiscord
#16 - Yep, I bet getting arrested for being drunk in Hogsmeade would get points taken away. :D
23ErisofDiscord
#15 - You can add the points that Kate awarded you at the Headmistress's Office. That gives us:
Gryffindor: 242
You Gryffs are doing magnificently!

Okay everything has been updated....thank you for your patience
sorry for my absence...I have been quite busy with book revisions, getting ready for my last semester of college (filling out graduation paperwork), working at the pet store job, and did I mention book revisions (like hardcore - trying to finish asap)
therefor in the event that I was absent for a week or more I'm giving every house 50 points for their patience and for keeping the group active! Thank you once again. I promise to be on more frequently I just had to get that stuff done before I start class on Monday.

Sorry you guys! This semester with school work and regular job work is killing me I think. I've been wanting to do nothing but sleep. I finally got a few minutes to check up on everything that I'm doing in my social media and groups.
Everyone (every house) will receive 50 points for holding down the castle while I've been absent

Poor Headmistress! I hope you feel all right soon. I'm sorry you've been so busy. :(

Thanks Eris! I only have about 5 weeks left and then graduation! I'm so close to the end of the tunnel.
101StarlightLily
I can! I come here everyday unless there's, like, no Internet or no computer or I'm just busy the whole day. And those rarely happen. So can I? I didn't want to create the topic yet because I was afraid you wouldn't allow it or you would want to do it yourself. :)
104StarlightLily
Already done, katagirl! :D
107StarlightLily
No worries, katagirl, I added them already! :D
