Ooo quick note! TO Rogue and Tassie!-

Seeing as the Houses are going to post their answers for Task 2 to you both, which hopefully you will then be able to post in the Challenge thread when all of them are in 🙂 - I think it's best NOT TO OPEN THEM! 😖 lol don't open any PM's entitled Task 2 Answers or anything similar from the other Houses because we ourselves haven't finished finding the answers and because you are both Gryffs... things could get complicated 😉 , I think it would be safer only open them to post them when you have all the answers including ours 😛

🥷 🏴‍☠️

I think if we win this chalenge \, the next challenge between houses should actually be between the house ghosts.
?

there's another ghost?

I guess each house should have it. so far I know that slytherin has one, I will ask the others to tell us in the hog\warts cafe, and urge those without ghosts to appoint one

good! more ghosties!ghost2

that would be something, Ghosts torunament !

hehe!!!!blow

Oo I was thinking that too! 😄 But then I thought they might not want to do it and so suggested a Death Day Party instead lol 😮 but if they do and the winning House likes the idea that would be so cool!

and Maikahyandowen, do you happen to know the answers to the Slytherin questions by any chance? 'cos those are the only two we have left to answer.

Okie 🙂

btw, I know you guys must be tired of hearing I spoiled my computer. but I really have! 🙁 I'm at an internet cafe, till my comp gets fixed, so i cant be on long.. 🙁 hmph! 😠

That's ok Tassie - it's not your fault but it does present a problem now. You see, you were the one working on our potion and if that's not finished we're in big trouble and to be honest I'm kinda tired of Gryffindor's last minute attitude in general. For example, in the very first challenge - Eezy and I came up with a ton of sigs which was fine and it was on time but come the second one (the song) you kindly came up with a part of a song 🙂 and Uni had like 3 or 4 lol but when I came to see if whatever our final entry was in order to post it the next day (the deadline) I saw that nothing had really progressed, no one had come to a consensus on which to choose and so out of desperation I quickly cmae up with a theme and consolidated a great majority of what you two had written. But if I hadn't it seriously looked as if the deadline would come and go and nothing would be done. The same happened with Challenge 3 (the story) - Celestial had written a great start and Uni then wrote a very bloody ( 😉 ) scene which was then followed by lots of comments but no one really wanting or doing anything to help. No one wrote anything further and no one edited or gave any really helpful ideas - I had a couple and I had been scrawling them down at work in my spare time but when I came to add them I saw nothing had moved on and then it was literally the day of the deadline and again it looked even worse this time because some of the members had just stopped posting 😖 as the deadline neared and it seemed we were doomed so I stepped in again and not only added my bit I had been working on but also added a ton extra to make it fluid.

Now come this fourth challenge - there was so much trouble getting it set up and people were getting irritated and tired and so as prefect I did my best to bring it all together and get everyone to a consensus, then because time was really running out and people weren't really being all that helpful in their replies I formulate and finalised most of it myself. Then throughout it there has been a kind of 'lazy Gryff' attitude as well. I know with you personally it was not your fault at all, computers always have a way of breaking down at the worst times, but with the questions for example we have two left to answer and I've repeatedly asked if anyone can find them because I found one, Tigress found three and we can't find the rest but yet members have posted in here and not even mentioned them. The theory - Rogue was in charge of that and I wanted to help out a little but I really couldn't devote the time but I made up for it by seeing the challenge all the way through by keeping people informed, posting official notices, going over rules, answering questions and PM's and it was only very early this morning my time that Rogue actualyl got around to working properly on the theory. Tigree had come up with an idea too and he'd already shown both ideas to the members but that was it - they were ideas not theories and so he and I worked through it all this morning and I finally finalised it and posted it. I really hate to sound a complainer Tassie and I'm not directing this at you at all, I'm merely telling you what I think about the situation and I hope the others read this too. I really feel as Gryff has a tendency to leave things too late and then things get tricky and have to be urgently sorted out. I really want this to change, it's a bad habit especially for the House with the most active members.

and Eezy! Where are you! I feel like I've been doing the work for this challenge by myself! You are soooo doing the judging 😉 😛

Oh about the potion - did you work on it any more since you sent me the start of it at the beginning of the week? If so, please send it to me so I can try and finish it if you haven't. If it's not progressed I'll just use the bit you sent me already.

Ack wait, you know what, I am tired of doing so much work on these entries, every single challenge and this was the one challenge I was going to rest a little on and focus primarily on helping it run smoothly! Someone volunteer to help out on this potion if Tassie hasn't been able to do it or else I move Gryffindor is penalised for lateness because everyone else seems to have finshed everything whereas we didn't finsih anything, only the theory this morning. Our attitude sucks! 🙁

I didn't open any of the Task 2 messages yet. I think.

Can we get the potion together? Or is it over??

I wrote what I thought we might do in a PM, along with asking you about the other Houses entries for Tasks 1&2, did you get it? It was called 'Where we go from here:'

Oh and Tassie approved the scoring system 🙂

I am not the guy for writing novels 😛

Yeah I sooo do the judging - whenever it is

Should we answer the questions now? Publically? lol

*offline for like next 12 hours*

We've got 4 of the answers - it's just the 2 Slyth ones I posted above that we don't. If you can find them send them to Rogue cos he has everybodies Task 1 and 2 Entries.

don't know off hand. maybe in the fourth book it'll have the quidditch one. or in Quidditch Through the Ages.
