Can we plz have sorting done by staff? The one thing I loved about my first HP site was the surprise you get when finding out what house you're in. It kinda sucks when people just pull a Harry and choose their house right off the bat :I but meh, that's just a personal pet peeve of mine xD /ignore meeeee On sites that use the four classic Hogwarts houses, I'm usually more inclined to think that characters should choose their own houses. But on a site like this that's using original houses, potentially with different traits than those used in those of Hogwarts, I think sorting by staff could be ideal. After all, even though players obviously know their characters best, that doesn't mean that they know the houses better than the staff members would, you know? Then again, a good compromise for members that are REALLY gung-ho about which house their character should be in is simply allowing people the choice of whether they want to sort themselves of if they'd rather be sorted by staff. totes agreed with the fusion idea. /libra must balance arg

Tbh I would never let staff sort me. I don't trust them to put me where I truly belong. Not to mention that a lot of times the character turns out a bit different from the app so if they're only using the app they can get it wrong. And probably are more likely to.
-is the dork who headcanons that all gryffindors are there not because they're "brave" but because they asked since many traits from other houses are in there and anyone can be brave-

because it's not just traits you have, it's what you value most

TBH I want the policy on how we're gonna sort to be settled since that will be a bit of a factor for how invested I am in the place.
On the flip side of this, the skin mostly depends on stuff. I do have a completed skin for something else that I doubt I'm going to use, so if you like it, I can sob and try to convert colors. Or, alternatively, since the hard code is already done and it's literally just swapping around those colors, I can hand off the skin, put the new banner in place, and then let GARDEN manipulate the colors so that they're not horribad.

sorting, then, is something that the rpers can decide, i'm thinking. they can either choose a house themselves, or ask for staff to "sort." wands can be something like that, too -- either deciding the specs yourself or asking staff to randomize you one -- so everyone's relatively happy.
thoughts on that, then? :?
skinning i'm thinking we can hold off on deciding until people come to an agreement on what's being done where, how, etc. so that you and GARDEN don't waste their time nor energy messing with it, Kuroya. >.<

I'm totes fine with the otpion of choosing randomizing or not. It sounds nice and could help kick off some intrepid character development or something .w.
Did we have any other issues?

On the subject of wand specs, I actually have the information on most of those tucked away somewhere from when I nearly opened a HP tumblr RP group, so I'm fine if that ends up getting reused. It was almost entirely off the wiki page anyway so *le shrug*
