Well, if we are going to do a tri-wizard challenge, it's going to have to involved three challenges.Here are some ideas I think would be good for them:
1) A question answer round - where we find some difficultish names, place, animals, spells etc to have Q's on, which of course we wont be allowed to post the answers in our common rooms 😉, we'll have to PM instead if we need help double checking. 5-10 Questions max.
2) The charm/spell idea is actually really good - howabout we have to make a potion, yes! Howabout the ever controversial and dangerous love potion! Hence we' have to do abit of research to find out about real ingrediantes etc, or there could be a choice of potions to make e.g. love, sleeping, good luck potions and each House can choose whichever one they want to do.
3) The third challenge could be a short creative writing challenge where each house has to do something different e.g. Gryff has to write one which praises Snape and talk about reasons why he's so great, and Slyth could write about why Hufflepuffs are really to be admired and are such wonderful people like Cedric etc, then Ravenclaw can do one about
why Gryff are so great at Quidditch and deserve all the glory and Hufflepuff can write about how they wish to be Ravenclaws lol or something like that - it would just be so funny! and only 1 paragraph or 2 to make it more challenging 😉
OR - set up different scenarios where the House has to say what their members or even their Founder would do or one common scenario for everyone and what Harry would do.
OR a theory challenge - again, it would only be like 2 paragraphs max.What do you all think?
some ground ... sounds acceptable.. but they were talking about the challenge being developing the stages of the triwizard.
Does everyone agree on this or do we need to do some editing to the idea??? I like it. But I think the thrid one, about us writing from different point of view need to be clearer.
Like, maybe writing from Professor Dumbledore's prespective?? Or maybe even each house choosing someone else from the opposing house and write about.
Gryffindor's could write from Malfoy's prespecitve.
Slytherin from, Neville's or maybe Dean's.
Ravenclaw could write from Cedric's (wasn't he huffelpuff?)
Huffelpuff could write form ??? (i forget some of the ravenclaws)
And the mini story could be about how they see, their house, completing the challenge.
Gryffindor might write how Malfoy is thinking up a way of cheating.
And the Huffelpuff might write about how ??? (the ravenclaw whom I forget) is trying to research all the books in the library, (Maybe even going into the Restricted Area) and finding info about their task.
This way, everything will be linking BACK to the Triwizardy Task.
Come on, be honest. What do ya think??
The first idea for the third challenge wasn't about writing from a different point of view Rogue - I think we should stay with out own House associates rather then do it from other House members. What I was saying that it would be funny for each House to have to write something nice about something they are or could be known for disliking, like us writing about how wonderful Snape really is. The reason why I suggested that was because like you found, we don't really know any prominent members of Ravenclaw, or do we? 😕 The same goes with the Heads of Houses, there's Snape, Mcgonnagal and who else?
But if you didn't like that one - there were the other two options, and we can edit whichever one we use to be about the tournament instead if you want 🙂
Raventheonly : It doesn't matter if they were talking about developing it in stages because the way I proposed the 'plan' allowed for that 😉 - they can do all three ideas in one go or one at a time. Although, I think one at a time would take too long and would mean Gryff had control of three challenges in a row which wouldn't be fair.
No, he's the Slytherin Prefect.
Btw note for Rogue: I read through all of the selecting of new Slytherin prefects stuff and it was necessary at the time to re-elect, however, I disagree with there being two male prefects especially when Slytherin has always had active female members. Yes there was a gap for a little while in between and coincedentally when you were asking about prefects but regardless that was just an anomaly and unlike Ravenclaw there is no need for single sex prefects. I understand that Orli is now the House Ghost but I think it would be better to switch her with one of the new prefects and since A.D is back we now also have the problem of competing. I don't know what the plan is about that but either way, I think Orli or Laveria should be made female prefect in order to reflect the House (we can contact either of them) or even Lady Grim has been ever constant and one of the male prefects is going to have to forfeit his position unless A.D steps down or can't be active.

I already offered my position to Orili, she said i would be a good one 😬 and i offered my position to Raven Gaurdia.
just popped in.
Raven did offer her position to them and just like she said, Orl's said he would do fine. Plus, I only did that becuz Slytherin's members were so inactive. That's why I had to get a replacement.
Rebelphoe: go right ahead and do what you wanted with the 3rd idea. I was just trying to get it more specific and stuff.
I'm so confused as to what the challenge is, sorry.
Anyways, forget about explaining it to me.. no time..
About the Slytherin prefect-- I think AD and Orli'sElf should remain prefects for now, until there is a serious need to change prefects. AD's been very busy lately-- as all-- so unless he doesn't return for a while, then I think he should remain prefect.
And Orli'sElf has always been a help. If she doesn't return for a while, then I suppose Raventheonly can take up that position.
I didn't even know they re-elected prefects 😖

I know you did Raven, I'm not trying to discredit you at all 🙂 - I just wasn't sure if Orli said no to be polite, and it would in general be better to have a female and a male prefect rather then two males (unless I'm mistaken and you are female for which I would apologise). Also, I thought it fair for a senior female member to be offered the position first - which is why I also wondered about Laveria.
Rogue - I know you did what you felt you had to, I think that it would have been more appropriate to PM the female members we knew to be quite active previously before choosing someone new.
As for the 3 part of the challenge - well, it's not upto me of course 😛, hence I left the ideas open for discussion. There are 3 ideas for part 3 there and we can choose one and alter it to your idea for example, where you wanted to make the story topic about the tournament itself. Either way the first two are pretty clear, and as long as people like them we can go with them 🙂
No, it's about the Slytherin prefects 🙂
and Tassie: I agree with you, because now we have the problem of having 3 Slytherin prefects and all of them male. We could just let them resolve it between themselves but the we'd still have two male prefects - I wonder, perhaps we should PM the active-ish female members (even though of course Ladygrim is active practically everyday) and ask them again - or if they really want just leave two male prefects?

That's ok Tigress! Maybe you can help with the entries!
I think we've taken enough time but I'm going to wait for a few more replies and then hopefully be able to post the fourth challenge by the end of tomorrow! 😄 There's just one thing we're going to need the other House's help on so I'm going to post in the inter house thread now.
