Which brings me to the outrageous news that with our new Prefects and a new start of term, Hufflepuff has won the House Cup! By two points! Congratulations, Badgers!! Your banners may be found under the cut!


To display in the Common Room...

For personal use by house members...

Please note that these banners will be deleted at the end of the week -- Please save your banner and upload it to a new server. Thank you!


So now, we have the start of a brand new term! The points will be cleared and everyone will have a chance to gain the lead! As I mentioned, our new Prefects are chosen. I would like to welcome the following members into their Official Positions with open arms and wish our previous Prefects nothing but the best.

For Gryffindor ... tangerinesidhe!
For Slytherin ... intoxic!
For Ravenclaw ... hey_lena!
For Hufflepuff ... esso!

Congratulations new Prefects! Please check your invites to join the appropriate communities / accept applicable mod rights as soon as possible. :)

February was a busy month for HiH! I was astounded by the participation levels we reached. All of you deserve a huge pat on the back, but the two that should be beaten raw are February's Students of the Month -- that's right. There are two of you who did such a great job that you deserve to be recognized.

First, tangerinesidhe of Gryffindor. Merely looking through the participation points and knuts I was amazed. Consider this -- you earn less knuts than points for activities, and not all acitivites earn knuts at all! tangerinesidhe walked away from February with a whopping 114 knuts in her pocket. Not only this, but the drive and ambition of tangerinesidhe was blatant as she pushed her house to participate and take part in the fun. Congrats!

Second, we had a marvelous time just this past weekend during the much anticipated Quidditch match. This was due largely in part to our very own jacquie_, also of Gryffindor. She pulled all the stops and made sure that everything went off without a hitch -- even performed some amazing last minute miracles. She deserves a huge round of applause for making our first Quidditch match so fun!

Your banners are under the cut!

These will be deleted at the end of the week -- please save and upload to your own server! Thank you!


Speaking of the Quidditch match, this brings me to a few small discussions. First of all, the match went very well if I do say so myself. The players seemed very eager to participate, they knew their jobs, they played a good game. I also must comend Ravenclaw for answering every single question correctly, and Gryffindor, whose seeker accomplished their job with impeccable timing. I look forward to seeing the other matches soon!

Next, we all know that Slytherin has had its revenge. ;) Excellent pranking, Snakes! I was glad to see that there were no hard feelings and/or severe wanking.

Last bit of Modly discussion is the recent bit of voting complications at platform_934. I would like to remind everyone that "Muggle" votes are designated for those who try blatantly to push their way into a particular house. "No Votes" are reserved for those who have provided too little information. While house bashing is against the rules, it does not warrant either one of these votes. Please keep this in mind. Those who do not act according to the rules will be dealt with by a Mod; please just sort the applicants accordingly, even if you see rules being broken. If you don't see Mod action taken within a day, please contact a Mod so that it can be dealt with. Do not flame applicants. Remember, your comment is there to cast your vote or lack of, not point fingers. After all, one of our biggest rules is that applicants cannot reply to comments, so how can they defend themselves? The next time we see this, warnings will be issued and/or points taken.

As we enter the start of a new term with new Prefects, I'd like to announce a plan that Nika and I have been discussing. The details aren't set in stone, but we do know that we would like to give prizes to the top three most active members at our next change of term. We're still talking about how we'll decide, what will be given, etc, but we do know that it will be a real prize (i.e. sent via FedEx/UPS/SnailMail/Etc), worth real money. More details will be coming regarding this, but I wanted to give everyone a fair notice so that you can start participating like mad.

Lastly, as reminders of participation, don't forget about the icontests (hp_stillness and hp_chorus), and be on the lookout for your March In-House Contests to be hosted by your new Prefects shortly. Also, don't forget to enter the new Officials' Icons contest here! And as usual...

YEY for Hufflepuff!!!!

[intotheheart.livejournal.com]

So close Gryffindors! Even though we didn't win, I'm TOTALLY amazed that we rallied together so well and got so close -- we made up over a 500 point deficit! Huge <3 to all my Gryffindors, and big congrats to Hufflepuff!!

[ledbylove.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to Ravenclaw, our Students of the Month, and my fellow new prefects!

And thanks to y'all for electing me Prefect of Ravenclaw! To say I am shocked is an understatement! I'll do my best to live up to all your faith in me :)

[semirose.livejournal.com]

And congratulations to you, I know you'll make a great prefect.

Congrats to all the other new prefects and to Hufflepuff for winning.

[dear-prudence.livejournal.com]

Go Puffs!!!
I'm so proud of all of you, and thrilled to be your new prefect!
It's going to be another fantastic year for us!

[aurora-borialis.livejournal.com]

First I have to let out a WOOt WOOt! For 'da 'Puffs! Congrats you guys! Also a cheer for the new Prefects. And everyone else for that matter. I just have a question. I thought that you couldn't be a Prefect and a Quidditch member at the same time or can you? I was under the pretense that you couldn't, as the Prefects help choose the questions.. etc. Please send help! I would hate to loose esso on the team! Just let me know please! Thanks!

Austynne, 'Puff Quidditch Captain

[aurora-borialis.livejournal.com]

Oh and one side comment. On the knut list, I think that the aurora_borEalis was a typo of my username from before. I see that mine (aurora_borialis) is there as well, but I don't think aurora_borEalis is a member here. ;) Just thought I should mention that.

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

>< I always do that. Will fix asap. :)

And no worries for esso! We'll simply have the Hufflepuff Co-Prefect help out with the Quidditch Questions. :)

[aurora-borialis.livejournal.com]

Thanks Bunny!

Thank goodness! It would be a slight nightmare to do more applications. *sigh of relief* thanks again!

Yay!

[miss-mimi383.livejournal.com]

Good job to EVERYONE in the community (s) !!

[ainu-laire.livejournal.com]

Congrats to the 'puffs! :)

Question on knuts... do those include in-house contests, the ones you posted up there? I know for a fact I participated in both the HiH contest and the in-house contest...

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Just checked my previous records from before I added everything, and you're right.. I probably just neglected to pop that extra five on when I consolidated the list. :) It's fixed now!

[ainu-laire.livejournal.com]

Whee, awesomeness. Thank ye kindly.

[kelleypen.livejournal.com]

I seem to be short my knuts for in house contest and for HH sugarquill as well. Kelley Gryffindor

[coaltrain-613.livejournal.com]

*NOTE THAT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE...HEHEHE♥

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bebella/]

Just a quick question...but I used to have 20 knuts, and now I have none? I did request an id tag to be made by intoxic actually twice now, but I've never gotten one...is that where they went?

Just wondering :)
Thanks Bunny!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bebella/]

Hey, sorry if this sounded rude...I didnt mean for it too. and I think my application is #8, right below the girl that asked about the clubs. But I don't mind when it gets done, I was mostly just wondering about the knuts :)

[flimsy.livejournal.com]

The knuts in this entry are the knuts people earned this month (february) :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bebella/]

ohhhh, thanks you!

[hxcpunkchick.livejournal.com]

No one's said anything yet, but your link for the new Offficial's Icon contest just links to the HiH mainpage, not the actual entry for it...
I really need to finish making these too, thanks for the reminder.

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Argh. Thank you! >< I always seem to mix up the links. Fixing now!

[aurora-borialis.livejournal.com]

Hey Bunny. 'Tis me again. Okay esso resigned as Chaser. So should I just re-post an application for the Chaser vacancy? I can definately do that. I'm just making sure.

Thanks,

Austynne, 'Puff Quidditch Cap't.

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Yep. :)

[ohelectricshock.livejournal.com]

hmm, just wondering here. Do knuts get carried over month to month? Or do they get reset every so often? Just curious because I got second place in an in house contest a few weeks back (or was it a month?) and I dont seem to have any knuts. Haha, sorry if I'm causing mayhem, juuust wanna know.

Ally

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

The knuts posted here are just for the past month. So yes, it is sort of like they're reset. But if you deposit your knuts at Diagon, then they stay there.. they won't be reset month to month. I hope that helped. :)

[pfc-rat.livejournal.com]

I tried to make a deposit in hh_diagon, but the Gringott's post seems to have disappeared!

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

I can see it fine. ??? Make sure you have the community friended.
