Eligere Academy: Out of Character Discussion

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:44:23 GMT

Hello, all.

We're sure this has become apparent long before now, but Crystal and I just don't have the time and energy to devote to making this game successful at the moment and rather than continue to drag on with things in limbo, we've decided to close Eligere for now. We may revisit the concept in the future when we both have a little more time on our hands, but for now we feel that this is the best decision.

We want to apologize for the inattention we have given this game lately and thank those of you who have stuck with us, anyway. We sincerely regret having to shut down the game and we wish you all the best of luck. Hopefully, we will see y'all around again.

♥ Lena and Crystal

APOLOGIES!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:07:52 GMT

Hello!

I apologize for being MIA this month. I've been so busy since the beginning of May. A friend of mine graduated from college. (Party.) I had a birthday. (Party.) My other friend had a birthday. (Party.) Another friend of mine is having a birthday next week. (Party.) It's kind of ridiculous. On top of that, we're remodeling our house.

I'm planning to do better as a mod and player.

Hey guys, I'm Nicole or slightlymore if you're an inhabitant of livejournal-land. I see that things are a tiny bit slow around here at the moment but wanted to introduce myself anyway. Better late than never, right? Right? I hope so! Is this an adequate introduction? Lets see, I'm a Taurus...I'm a pretty long standing Gryffindor at HogwartsisHome, though I come and go and lurk a lot of the time and I have a bit of an obsession with very minor characters in the books. Anyway, I tend to do a little bit of rping with another of the members here on the side but I'm open to plotting and writing with others! Let me know if anyones up for it?

You can contact me at harrowingheights on AIM if you're interested in talking RP. I get my emails there as well. :)

eligeremod@gmail.com — Thu, 19 May 2011 15:41:55 GMT

Just to let y'all know, I'll be going to visit my sister in Canada soon, so my activity is going to be pretty non-existent until about mid-June. ♥

Hey, guys! Sorry I've been such a flake with RP lately. Things have been pretty hectic around here with end/start of term over at HiH and I've been swamped with getting settled into mod things over there. I'm hoping to catch up on tags in the next day or two and hopefully things will settle down for me soon. In the meantime, feel free to IM/tweet/text/whatever anytime if you want to discuss or plan anything.

Adds!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:52:54 GMT

Please welcome Denise with Cristian and Roisin and Nicole with Tessa!

Also, make sure to update your flists!

Existing players, please don't forget to check in at the roll call post if you're interested in continuing with the game. If we still haven't heard from you by tomorrow, we'll have to assume disinterest and remove you from the game. :(

Activity Check.

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 22:02:05 GMT

No warnings to give out this week.

As you can see, we're very low on characters and players at the moment, so we ask that you please pimp the game to your friends. We'd really love to see more interest in it! Also, remember that our character limit is 6 and we encourage you to apply for additional characters to help fill our roster!

No warnings to give out this week, but we do have a couple of removals from last week's check, so please go here to update your flists and remove Sakura and Russel.

Activity Check

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:03:09 GMT

Hello, everyone. With day change comes the newly imposed activity check...

Activity wasn't through the roof this week, but nearly every character was active. (Save for the ones that are covered by hiatus, of course.) I'm really hoping activity will pick up next week. After all, I love this game, and I really want it to prosper.

This week, the following characters were found inactive:

Russel Pearson

If these characters are not active in some way during the next, they will be removed.

We don't want to lose characters, guys. Please be active.

Also, we would appreciate it if you would recommend Eligere to your friends.

Activity.

eligeremod@gmail.com — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:32:34 GMT

Hey, y'all! You may have noticed the lack of activity around here - we definitely have. To try and encourage a little more activity, we're going to be instituting an activity requirement for the community. All we're asking is that you do something with each of your characters once a week - whether it's journal comments, journal entries or threading.

Activity checks will be done on Mondays right after we post the day change for the week. If you fail to meet activity for the week, you will be given the next week to post something or be removed from the game. Players on hiatus will, of course, be exempt from this policy for the duration of their hiatus.

As always, if you have any questions of concerns, please talk to us!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 23:59:25 GMT

Hi! My name is Lena and I have been failing hard core. Mainly because I started a new job which is ending up to be more hours than I anticipated, I'm sick with something that vaguely resembles bronchitis or something equally irritating, the BFF (who I live with) is remodeling and things have just been busy in general rl-wise.

Sooo, I'm going to go ahead and call this an official hiatus until things calm down a bit. Sorry for being a complete flake lately, but I will be back!

ROLL CALL

eligeremod@gmail.com — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 10:57:27 GMT

Apologies for forgetting to post day change this week and last. As some of you know, Lena has been in the process of moving and job-hunting and she kind of failed. :P We'll be putting up the next day change on Monday next week.

However, we do want to also do a quick roll call, since the last IC post of any kind from anyone was on January 29th. Please leave us a comment if you're still around and still interested in playing.

Formatting question

eligeremod@gmail.com — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 11:15:57 GMT

I'm trying to figure out how to post Alex's class schedule. Lost in HTML formatting and don't want the Rich Text table, since I'm not sure I'll be able to lj-cut it afterward. Any ideas or tips?

eligeremod@gmail.com — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 11:02:13 GMT

Hello all! I'm Gills, dragging Mr. Alex St. Croix into this game (and the school), kicking and screaming. Black sheep of the family, Muggle-lover, self proclaimed free spirit. We're both looking forward to a lot of fun.

eligeremod@gmail.com — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 17:03:59 GMT

HI, Y'ALL!

Just FYI, after this conversation in Bells journal, Lydia whipped up some flyers and covertly passed them around the school to all the students announcing a party this upcoming Friday.

Feel free to have your characters discussing plans to attend or not!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 18:58:09 GMT

Time to update your friends! Please welcome Trinity to the game with Sakura Ishikawa!!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 01:29:47 GMT

Hey Hey Everyone! I've got Sakura here for your enjoyment! Here is all her information. I'm a bit tired, from working two terribly long days in a row to a horrid Christmas, so please read her and bug me for friends, enemies and loves!

I'm really sorry. >.<
You can kick me @ Trinitynikol on aim

eligeremod@gmail.com — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 23:01:12 GMT

Oh, look, crazy Lena is back with her sixth and final character!

Meet Lydia! Lydia is a junior and she's in the AMP, though for now her betrothed is an NPC.

Lydia has been attending boarding schools her entire life. Her mother is/was a French witch who left her and her father when she was just a baby and Lydia really has no memory of her. Her father is a wizard who grew up in New England and raised Lydia all by his lonesome. Not that he was ever around. He's a pretty big businessman amongst the wizarding community of New York and he's really never had much time for her.

So, Lydia has a few Daddy issues. Namely, she's the sort who craves love and affection even though she's definitely not a hugger and that touchy feely crap kind of creeps her out a lot. She definitely enjoys attention from the opposite sex, though. If you have a male character, she's probably going to flirt with them. She doesn't want to get kicked out, though, so she'll do it behind a charm or closed doors. Or, you know, away from their other half's jealous eyes, anyway. ;)

Lydia is also a bit of a party girl. She knows how to keep it discreet so she doesn't get caught, but she definitely has a secret stash of booze. And pot. And ecstasy. She's happy to share with anyone who's willing to party with her and not tattle and she's even more willing to sneak into town with anyone else who's looking for a good time.

Um, basically? She's not a good girl at all, but she's learned to toe the line between being the bad girl and getting kicked out of school. She loves to dance. She also likes cooking and potions, because working with ingredients relaxes her. She's not fond of sweets, unless it's European chocolate. There's a whole lot more in her bio, so check it out and give us some plot!

Lydia isn't one for close friends, but I would love some good casual/friendly acquaintances for her!

eligeremod@gmail.com — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 06:52:02 GMT

With us re-opening and stuff, and having some shiny new players and characters, I thought it might be a good idea to re-introduce mine!

Dari Davsion | coraffabile | Senior | Betrothed to Simon Bailey
Dari is sweet, perky, athletic, bookish, friendly. She's a real flirt, though most of the time she doesn't mean to flirt. She's the kind of girl who pretty much adores everyone, but she's genuinely close to very few people. Her best friends in the whole world are Jeremy Pitt and Ashleigh Barton, the latter of whom she shared a room with until they moved in with their respective betrotheds last year.

Ed Mcmillan | kingofquod | Senior | Single/Not in the AMP
Ed is attractive and athletic. He's the captain of the school Quodpot team and the only person in the game right now who is NOT in the AMP. He kind of finds the concept of arranged marriages a little ridiculous. As such, he has NO problems at all with flirting with those girls who ARE in the program. If you have an attractive girl who was willing, chances are he's had her on his broom and/or tried to make out with her.

Garrett Pitt | perfezione | Junior | Betrothed to Katherine Lawrence
Garrett is rich, he's powerful and he's better than you. So he thinks, anyway. He's the epitome of snobby asshole. He can be kind to those he deems worthy of his affections, but those people are few and far between and even his loved ones aren't always spared from his condescending tongue. Most people prefer the company of his older brother Jeremy. He had a penchant for seducing and then discarding innocent girls back home, but since arriving at Eligere and being promised to Katherine, he has been on his best behavior. He would not embarrass his family or his future wife by being caught being unfaithful.

Teddy Gibson | amarshmallow | Junior | Betrothed to Bells Westland
Teddy is a moody little cynic much of the time, though there is a heart of gold somewhere beneath the surface. His cynical, outspoken nature shines through a majority of the time and he's definitely been known to rub people the wrong way, especially when he's printing less than flattering news about them in the school paper, but he does have a softer side - one that comes out when he's with his younger siblings or closer friends. One of his sisters would be a freshman at Eligere this year and I wouldn't at all hate having her played!

Jackson Wells | jackwells | Senior | Betrothed to Ashleigh Barton
Jack is.. how can we put this delicately.. a little on the gay side. He's very much in denial about this fact and tries his best to be a guy's guy. He's trying very hard to toe the line with his father and keep up good enough grades to not get expelled while making a go of things with his future wife. The truth is, though, that he really feels no passion for her ~~or for any girl~~ and he's doing all this to try and make his father happy.

You can find my contact info on the player page, or drop me a comment or PM to do some plotting! I'm really excited to start playing with all y'all! ♥

Modly Notes

Hi, y'all!

We've gotten everything moved over to Scribbld from Inksome and we've done some pimping. For now, we're going to continue to play through Tuesday September 7th in game. Our next day change will take place on Monday December 27th in real time. Hopefully, that will give our new people a little time to dive in and our old folks time to settle in, finish threads, etc. before the day wraps up.

Please feel free to do some pimping of your own - the more, the merrier, right?

Hi gang!

I know this has been a long time coming, but we're trying to get things going around here, so here's the deal. We will be opening either when we reach 15 characters or on August 1st, whichever comes first. Right now, we are sitting at 11 characters who have been approved, so we're very close to that number as it stands.

In the meantime, feel free to post up your introductions and start plotting past/future interactions. For those with characters in the AMP who do not have their betrothed in play, if we don't receive a suitable application to match them with prior to the game opening, we'll be generating a "premade" that will exist as a mod-controlled NPC until we find a player who wants to step in and take over the role.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to drop us a line at eligeremod@gmail.com.

We look forward to playing with you all and finally getting this game off the ground!

♥ Lena and Crystal, Eligere Mods

ETA: One more thing. When we start up, the in-game date will be September 6, 2010, which will mark the first day of the 2010-2011 term. Rather than running in real time, we will be taking a week to play out each in-game day. Day changes will occur weekly on Mondays and a post will be made from the mod journal reminding everyone of the day change and making any important IC/OOC announcements about lessons, activities, gossip, world events, etc.

ETA2: Actually... I'm going to open the IC community for threading now for the first day (Sept 6th) and we'll let that day run until August 1st at which point the day will change to September 7th. That way those of us who are excited and anxious to play can get started!

introduction!

Hi, everybody! I'm Lena, one half of your awesome modly duo and I thought I'd kick things off by introducing my four kids. ~~Is anyone who knows me remotely surprised I'm maxed out before we even open?~~

Dari Davison/coraffabile - An upcoming senior at Eligere, Dari is the elder of two girls born to a socialite and a successful lawyer and she's one of those girls who appears to have it all. She's beautiful, she's smart, she's athletic. She's a sweet and friendly girl whom you might find it hard not to like. Beneath the surface, though, is a girl who is a little bit insecure, thanks to the constant criticisms of her parents and who doesn't really hold to the purist ideals her parents have always taught her. Dari's betrothed is an NPC at preasent and I would love to see him played. I would also love to see her younger sister Jayden in play, as she is the perfect purist daughter Dari isn't and would make a great foil for Dari in game.

Edward McMillan/kingofquod - An upcoming senior at Eligere, Ed is my only kid who is not in the AMP, because his parents aren't really elitist at all and he is merely at Eligere because he wanted to attend the best school possible. Ed also happens to be a Halfblood, but shhhh. This is something no one at school knows about him, since he had to lie about his background to get into the academy. Ed's handsome, friendly and athletic with a reputation for charming the girls. He tends to favor the unattached for his casual flings, but he's not opposed to having a little fun with a girl who is technically promised to someone else, either.

Gabriella Richards/bibliophile - An upcoming junior at Eligere, Bri is a quiet, studious girl who has her nose in a book 90% of the time. She's not exactly shy, she just prefers the company of books to people and she has a tendency to get wrapped up in her studies to the point of forgetting things like eating, sleeping and socializing. You'll find that she's perfectly friendly when approached, though, and once you get her talking, you might find it difficult to get her to stop. Her betrothed is also an NPC and I really have nothing in mind for him, but I would love to see him played. She also has two older sisters - Annabella (Bella) and Aubrianna (Brenna) - who are fairly open books and I would love to see either or both of them in play.

Garrett Pitt/perfezione - An upcoming junior at Eligere, Garrett is a confident and driven young man with ambitions of entering politics once he has finished his education. He's the youngest son of one of the richest and most influential men in the world and despite being the youngest is considered by the family to be the true heir to the Pitt fortune. Garrett could undoubtedly find a match on his own, but chose to allow his father and grandfather to handpick his mate for him. He doesn't believe in love and is focused, instead, on carrying on the his legacy as the Pitt heir and making his parents and grandfather proud.

You can find me on AIM at macgirl50. Feel free to IM me of just comment here to plot with me!
