Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft

This is the page where all new members to this guild go to when they need help. All the things below should explain everything you need to know and more.

If you haven't already joined the guild, click here. This guild has lots of stuff to offer and will be adding many new features to the site. After you have joined, you will need to be sorted into one of the four houses. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. If you have any questions, neomail me or post a message on the message board.

Once you join the guild, you will need to be sorted before you can do most of the things we have to offer here. You do not need to answer any kinds of questions because the sorting is random. I sort people many times a day before I get offline, so most likely you will be sorted the day you join. Please DON NOT neomail me saying that you need to be sorted because I don't have time to asnwer all of those kinds of neomails. The sorting is random, so whenever I get online, that's when you will get sorted. And remember, once you are sorted, you CANNOT have a change of house. There have been too many requests to do this, so please don't ask me for one.

There are four houses you can be sorted in. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Once you are sorted into one of them, you can start earning your house points by turning homework in on time, donations, suggestions, etc. Then at the end of each month, the House Cup is awarded to the house with the most points earned that month.

You can earn points by:
  1. turning homework in on time
  2. donating items to our donation shop
  3. suggestions
  4. teaching a class
  5. contests
  6. and being an active member

You can lose points by:

  1. never turning in homework
  2. fighting with other guild members
  3. posting messages that are inappropriate
  4. and being an inactive member
  5. saying that another house sucks

Each class will have homework every week or so. You are not required to do the homework but it is highly reccomended. If you want to earn your house some points and not have to rely on other members of your house, then you should do your homework. Each teacher will specify the amount of points each homework assignment is and will notify me when someone has turned it in.

If you would like to donate any items to our Guild Donation Spot, feel free. Give them to me, heb55. Each donation will recieve at least 20 points toward your house. After you have donated an item, please neomail me saying what house you are in so I know where to add the points. All donations are appreciated.

Go to the Contests page to check them out. Currently, we have 3 contests. They are a Question of the Week, New Heads of Houses, and a Referral Program. All the contests have prizes so good luck!

The house cup will be given out at the end of each month to the house with the most points. We will decorate the guild in the winning house's colors for about a week.
