Is pumpkin juice a favorite drink of one of the Houses or just a common drink in Harry Potter. I haven't read or watch anything HP to I guess I might be at a disadvantage here. I have read and seen HP, but if pumpkin juice is specifically associated with one house, I don't know about it. Of course, other people probably remember things in way more detail than I tend to. Pumpkin Juice is served in the Hall at most feasts and is not particularly associated with any house. Now, if someone were talking about The Fat Lady's Portrait or the Eagle Doorknocker or something, that might give away their house.

In the books, point totals are shown through 4 giant hourglasses with rubies in them. The number of rubies in the base of the hourglass denotes the points a house has. When they are awarded more points, an equivalent number of rubies fall into the bottom half. If they lose points, the correct amount returns to the top, so I'd be a little surprised if we weren't aware of the point totals throughout the game.

Maybe some people can't find Platform 9 3/4.
Which may be the wrong platform entirely.
Because I have the memory of a dead squirrel.

What information will be revealed at the end of each Month?
You will find out at the end of each Month I assume we will find out the lynched players house, is that correct?
Yes. That is correct. Will we know anything about point totals, either by house, or personally (through PM's from the Mod)?
If any such total was to happen it would be for all to see. So no point PMs in this game. But maybe next time

I'm not even sure if we're already have started and are allowed to talk strategy yet . It's a mini and I allow strategy - since the game will be played in one thread I see no harm in it

I have no idea what sort of strategy to employ here, so I'll try this.
I am not a member of gryffindor. I think we should vote all those guys out first.

I'm here. Quit whining. SOMEBODY had to take the school train back to the depot and I notice none of you lot did it. It's a long walk back, you know. [colour=green If I and Joe Bloggs and Captain Picard are all in the same house and all vote for somebody and that somebody is not in our house will we get five points each plus five points for the team action (i.e. 20 points) or will we get five points each plus five points each for the team action (i.e. 30 points)?[/colour]

Hmm seems my spelling isn't very good. Just as well I came to Hogwarts.

If the player is lynched you also + 5 each (15 for the team). Voting on a player from a different team (+5) Being part of lynching a player from a different team (+5)

Any particular reason for that or have you just selected a house on a whim? To everyone: Would it be useful at this point to have a discussion about who has read the books and who hasn't? I'm not sure how much of HP will be in the game but it would seem sensible to assume there will be some use of the books either by Ulla or other players. Could we establish who knows what?

I've seen all the movies many times but have not read any of the books.
Another point of reference that might be useful is if players are familiar with '3 clan' setups.

I've read the books and seen all the movies, have spent a fair amount of time at the Leaky Cauldron and on the HP wiki looking things up, and may or may not have written fanfic for the series.

I'm totally clueless about Harry Potter except that our previous prime minister looked like him. I agree with zuma but I see no reason why couldn't be Gryffindor. Vote zuma

Since we lose 5 points for unvoting a player from another team, I'm guessing that it's not a really good idea to vote/unvote frequently.

[colo]Vote zuma[/color][/b][/quote] Do we play at guessing the missing word too? I too think it's a bad idea to be voting and unvoting fast. Well, I always think that's a bad idea but in this game even more. Speaking of missing words, is there a reason that October is missing from the months we are playing?

I bet both October and the 'he' in my sentence magically dissappeared. There is some conspiracy going on...
Anyway as I said there is a 75% chance I voted right. Voting/unvoting someone from a different house is point neutral. Voting/unvoting your own house is minus two.

Can you point me towards an explanation or a game where it was used? Trying but my Googlefoo is failing. We didn't make that sort of game up, did we? I thought someone brought it in from playing it elsewhere.
