Hello everyone. You can call me Jim (even though I'm a girl), and I come to you bearing a shiny new character.

Her name is Holly J, and she's nifty, if I do say so myself. She's a junior, Beauregard, Quodpot wide receiver. She's a lesbian, and it's not a secret, and some people have been super mean to her about it - are you one of those people? If so, I'm interested to hear from you!

She needs friends, possible love interests, enemies, just about everything, so drop me a line! I'm at credoinspiritu on AIM, and I'm pretty much always around, except for, like, your Friday morning through your... Saturday night? I live in New Zealand. I could be wrong. I work Friday and Saturday nights here, and we're EST+17.

ALSO WALES WERE ROBBED. THAT IS ALL.

-Jim

Hey folks.

This is just a reminder that everyone in the game, on hiatus or not, should be responding to intro posts put up for new characters. It is a considerate and friendly thing to do, and I would consider us a friendly bunch. Please take the few moments to introduce your characters to the new ones being introduced. If you can reply to a meme or to a nomination post, you can shoot a quick couple lines to start some character relationships.

ALRIGHT, BITCHES. I'M BACK! And with me I bring a new kiddo~

It's Pollemz, btw, just in case you didn't know. But this here is Adriana. Returning after a year abroad. Ready to stir some shit up!

So right. Adriana is a returning Rienzi senior, back from spending her junior year at Beauxbatons. She transferred there because her father had a job transfer to his business' France office and wanted his family to go with him. She rejoined the cheerleading squad, Dance Troupe, debate team, and Events Committee. Because of her year in France, she is fairly fluent in French. Her father is a muggle-born wizard who's family never fully accepted that he was a wizard, and her mother was from a proud and long magical line. During their sophomore year, she and Keegan dated from November to about April. Also during this time, she seduced and flirted with Rowan (from November to February) in order to get a better grade in Latin. No one really knew/knows about it, she kept it very hush hush. The only people who would probably know are friends of hers.

She is highly competitive. Like. Seriously. She will do everything she can to prove that she's capable and will win.

SEE YOUUUUU IN SEPTEMBEEEEEER....

My fellow CCI Players. Welcome back to our second year. Over the last couple of weeks we hit the one year anniversary of this community, and we would like to start this by saying thank you. Thank you for being the most amazing players a game could have asked for. We only hope that you’ve been having as much fun with this as we have been having as your mods and fellow players.

There is so much that will start happening now, that we’re bursting to tell you all. Without further adieu, here are some things to look forward to in the next few weeks.

1) We’ve come up with a new way to do rolls for the Quodpot games. Feeling that a system of bonuses and penalties would be fun to try, we have decided to implement a new system that we feel will better take into account your activity, and the things that characters do that would affect their game play, both positively and negatively.

Basically, it would be two rolls out of 100 as a base, reflecting chance and what NPCs are doing. Added (or subtracted) would be things from a bonus/penalty chart that is forthcoming. Your character spends some time making plays, or practices extra hard before a game? Bonus! Your character drinks before a game, or isn’t speaking to someone on their team? Minus! This would make there be more incentive to get your character into the fracas that is Quodpot and a more realistic way than simply doing odds vs. evens.

2) In that vein, we would like to change all rolls to the percentile system. We feel that it would be a more accurate accounting, with more possibility for contributing factors to come into play. Character preparedness (or lack thereof) would be taken into account. Your character wants to smoke in the room? There’s going to be bonuses for the amount of caution taken, or minuses if they choose to blatantly flaunt the rules. No more auto passes just because you made some effort. Also? Heads of house do make completely random room checks. So be prepared!

3) Harry Potter was a wonderful world to be in for so many reasons, big and small. One thing that always made me think of Harry Potter? Hogwarts. The school. And what was in the front hall of that school? The hourglasses that tallied the House Points. We would like to introduce CCI House Points to the game! Bonus and Penalty chart is in the works!

4) Simply something fun and silly, we would like to have a CCI twitter account. Players can access it, and post random silly things. If we don’t see a Leo Fortis compliment on there once a month, we will be very disappointed in you! And so will he :)

We are so excited to start playing a new year! There is SO MUCH on the horizon, plotty and fun, and we are very happy that you are all still here. So get those characters updated, and we will be playing with you all shortly.

Game on!

Hey guys, so... I'm gonna be hit or miss for the next week and a half. I'm moving half of my shit to Vermont tomorrow, having a luau at the new apartment, unpacking half of my shit, returning to NY, packing the rest of my shit, having farewell bbqs, and then moving to VT with the rest of my shit next Saturday. Also... I'm trying to do camp nanowrimo, i.e. writing a 50k novel in one month. Good timing right?

Text me if you need me but I should be pretty solid from Monday to like Thursday-ish. I love you guys. You're awesome. <333333

Hey gang. I've decided to resign from CCI. This means that Stas and Marina will be leaving the game. Stas simply didn't come back after recovering from his coma. As for Marina, since she's Sam's twin sister and this affects Becky heavily, I'm offering her to be made from scratch by another player.

Thanks so much everyone and maybe someday we'll play again!

Hey peeeeople

2011-07-05T16:30:36Z

So, this is my official hiatus post thingy. I know I kinda fell off the face of the earth like a week ago, but my world exploded. :| No lie. Between my aunts being in town, demanding 100% of my free time (I never saw my computer expect when I couldn't brain enough to RP), and this Fourth of July weekend that exploded into Life-anywhere-but-home....I haven't had a lot of time. -_-

AND....my sister is coming into town tomorrow. Which pretty much means I will not have much in the way of an RP brain. Again. I can't function with people in my house. I really can't. -_o

SO, hopefully I will be back on track sometime... around the 17th? I owe my youngest niece a trip to Six Flags Over Texas, which should happen the 15/16th. Cross your fingers!

<3 EJ

A hiatus must be called.

This coming Tuesday (the 28th) I will be heading into surgery for my wrist. I have to have the initial bandages on for 10 days, during which time I will be doing very little typing. Towards the end of the week, though, I should be able to be on Skype and get phone calls at least. If there is anything you would like your characters to do (in relation to the missing persons plot) prod Katie or Becky for my phone number.

I will know my return time frame and typing ability better once the cast is on. >.>

Just for the Lulz

Stas is rolling his eyes that I'm using his journal to post this:

MTV is having a Harry Potter World Cup this summer to determine the greatest HP character ever.

I'm pulling for Neville. Thought you'd all get a kick out of it.

Quodpot: 6.3 and 6.11

2011-06-11T03:35:16Z

Our apologies on the late posting of last week's game.

Last week Rienzi faced off against Beauregard and although the hopes were high for Rienzi, Beauregard came away victorious.

Tonight was the quodpot finals and feelings were running high at CCI. Beauregard and Sonnier had battled their way into the finals and that game would prove who was the better team. It was hard and long game, but in the end Sonnier proved their worth.

Congratulations to House Sonnier, winners of the 2010-2011 Quodpot Finals!

Bringing Sexy Back eh?

2011-06-09T03:31:46Z

So um yeah Shelby's back check out below to see what's up.

With having to pack up his room and hide all his contraband before his parents arrived, Shelby didn't have much time for goodbyes. His mother wanted him out of that place in a hurry and home where it was safe. He barely even had enough time to find Charlie, pick up and smoke one last NOLA joint with his bros before being rushed back to Canada and into the wonderful world of home schooling. Angela had been in just about a near panic since she first caught wind of Leon's attack, and although missing socks didn't seem like that much to worry about in comparison, the last straw came after hearing that Shelby, her baby had actually been sent out on a school sanctioned monster hunt. Just because he was 17 and a teacher or two tagged a long didn't make it okay in her book, not in anyway shape or form. Even if Shelby had actually been completely unfazed and kind of excited about the whole thing. Monster's were pretty cool as long as they weren't like trying to chew off his face or anything.

As much as he hated early morning classes and generally going to class at all he was going to miss it. Sure homeschool seemed like fun in theory; sleeping in late, video games and mommy's homecooked breakfast in homeroom around noon, he figured. How could that not be awesome? But school to Shelby was never really about getting an education, with the exception of perhaps music. Sure he liked learning cool new spells but at 17 he just couldn't see past drumming and skateboarding. In his world those were really all he needed to make it, the rest was just an excuse to socialize. Why did he need to be home schooled anyway? What did his mom really think this was going to accomplish? It wasn't like he had any plans to go to college, wizard or muggle. School was about chillin with his friends, sneaking out for joints after class and partying hard on the weekends. Throw in a quodpot game here and there and school was basically gravy.

After little more than just few days home, Shelby quickly realized just how good he had it at CCI. At least there he had a free first period. His mom was actually making him get up and not just up but up, dressed and ready for the day by 7'oclock sharp. 7'oclock in the fucking morning? Was she serious?. And why'd he have to get dressed anyway. It wasn't like he had to leave the house, Shelby just didn't understand why she was acting so strict. Did she secretly want to be a teacher or something and was just taking it out on him?Although he supposed it was better than wearing a uniform. Mornings in their house were a complete struggle from the get go, and the rest of the day wasn't always the smoothest either. Seven AM was just too early, and it just made him cranky and completely unreceptive to any sort of learning. He fell asleep at his kitchen table desk sometimes multiple times a day, would disappear outside for hours on end and find the loudest snacks to eat while she was teaching. He loved his mother but she was acting crazy over this home school thing, he never in a million years expected her to take it so seriously. She'd even resorted to pouring ice water over him once to get him out of bed. Maybe he'd just gotten used to the freedom of being away at school but this was almost unbearable.

With Angela ready to pull her hair out or kill him by a couple weeks in they both finally agreed it just wasn't working. Homeschooling was just not for Shelby, as much as he hated real class he needed the structure. His house just had far too many distractions, especially his game collection that he'd had to basically abandon when he went to CCI. His ADD was running out of control. He pushed the boundaries almost more with his mother than he ever did with teachers, even despite his notorious class clown reputation. Realizing she was maybe in just a little over her head, Angela started to look around for alternatives. Wizarding Schools in Canada are sparse to say the least, and she didn't want him going just anywhere. She let him go all the way to New Orleans in the first place, despite the distance because she knew he'd get a proper schooling, just as she had. And believed until recently that he'd be perfectly safe there.

After Salem and two other schools claimed to not be accepting new students so late in the school year, Angela began to feel like they were running out of options. Which Shelby was totally cool with, he didn't need school and if he was going anywhere it better be back to CCI with his friends. What if Rienzi went to the finals and he wasn't there to cheer them on? His mascot costume was probably sitting somewhere collecting dust. What good was that going to do? He really did wanna go back, if he had to look at nothing but his mother and the kitchen stove much longer he would probably go insane. He decided to tell his mother the truth, he knew at this point, overhearing her say that even finding a muggle school would be difficult at this point, that she was running out of options. It was basically CCI or bust. If he couldn't go back he'd just get a job and try to put another band together or something. He still had friends around the neighborhood that he jammed with from time to time, it'd be no problem but truthfully he wanted his mother to say no.

The last thing Angela wanted to do was send him back to New Orleans with everything that was going on but like any mother she wanted the best for him and in her eyes if he didn't somehow finish school she was failing her son. If he decided to give up and get a job there really wasn't much she could do, as a wizard he was already considered of age and within a few months he'd be 18. She knew much like herself that being a wizard really didn't matter much to him, at least where his future was concerned. They both knew he was too lazy to give it up completely. So the fact that he actually wanted to go back to, really did make her proud.

The next morning after having some time to sleep on it, she sent an owl to deliver two messages to New Orleans. One to the Office of Headmaster Pendragon and one to her sister Lizzy.

For anyone who doesn't know Shelby already, his bio can be viewed here but in short he's basically a big goof who loves drumming, skateboarding, gaming, smoking weed and acting stupid.

Introducing....Number Four

2011-05-30T00:38:18Z

Hey! It is EJ again! I am bringing in a fourth kid! His name is Jackson Shea, but he generally goes by Jack/Jackie/Jacks. He is a sophomore in Beauregard. A few things to know about him?

- He is muggle born, from Vicksburg, Mississippi. As such he tends to get very confused about a lot of subjects wizard-born kids take for granted.

- He does talk to his gummy bears. Why? But they are more fun to eat when you talk to them! Hello!

- He is a DJ, likes comics, quotes movies, dances in place, and is generally a happy go lucky guy.

- He is bi-curious, but not really gone out of his way to investigate this. Sort of just something he wonders about in the back of his mind without acting on it.

- And lastly? His Profile has just about anything you want to know about him.

So! I am looking for friends/possible flings/enemies/anyone to fill any possible slot :D
