    @Ravenger - The Slytherin Death Eater Twitter is @SlytherinDE and the Facebook event page is http://www.facebook.com/events/484070031623113/

    I'll have to ask Atlus about getting that into the OP due to no other house having their info there.

    Maybe it would be good to get all the houses info up there :)

    @TOGSolid and other Heads: Please put the info you want for your group in the Head group message so I don't miss it. I'll add it as soon as I can. Thanks!

    Everyone Else: I wanted to let you all know that I had to disable the waitlist. It wasn't working as intended and allowing people to register for groups that were closed. This means that any cancelled registrations will be filled by whomever catches it first. I do apologize for this inconvenience but the waitlist function was not working as intended and I see no possible fix for it.

    That works too! Thanks!

    Nope, that's the House Elf position.

    Heads are there to mark score cards, while also participating in events. Ask TOGSolid if he's gonna be stay sober...
    They tend to herd more toward the beginning of the night, then the Elf kinda takes over making sure the group gets to where it's supposed to be.

    I never learned to read or write....

    Also i generally refer to women as elves, it's just something i do?

    They can also get invloved in running the auctions, helping pair people infront of bars, and basically helping to make sure everything runs smoothly.

    Ravenclaw Death Eaters! Be sure to check out the AWESOME design for this year's team shirt! Just like last year we're only having a limited # made and they'll be put up for auction to support Child's Play. So if you want one be prepared for a bidding war!

    Although not nearly as amazing as that Ravenclaw shirt, I did find this rather snazzy Gryffindor design on Redbubble. http://www.redbubble.com/people/meteormuse/works/6318811-gryffindor-pride

    If you have received an EMail confirmation from Eventbrite or already printed out the confirmation, then yes you have.
    Edit to Add: I see your name on the "Who is going to this event" list on the main ticketing screen. So, yes. You are definitely OotP Poofyhuff I mean Pufflehuff oh, that badger one.

    Hufflepuff, in glorious fashion waiting until the last minute and then claiming their thunder was "stolen" when they find out someone already had their idea. We've had this song up for consideration some time, we just needed the group vote to make it official. And there's no rule that two groups can't use the same song, you'll just have to use it in the bitter knowledge that us Ravenclaws are out there doing it better.

    And also: we're Death Eaters, if all we take from you is your thunder then you've come out ahead. :-P

    I have a couple of questions: I show up on the "Who is going to this event" list, but I don't have any sort of e-mail confirmation. I scoured my inbox and my trash folder and can't find it. Will it be sent out later or should I request a resend?

    The other question is when is the auction and will it be some big thing in front of all the attendees? I keep hearing about it and I would love to help out Child's Play, but I can't a single source about it. I have some neato things that I can make for the auction, but they're not something that can be auctioned for $5-$10. More like $20+. I don't know what kind of gold people attending would have.

    Just a little over a week away! I'm so excited to meet you all!

    The auctions are different for every house and faction.

    The typical way it goes down is the head girl/boy of each group gathers everyone round after one of the stops and will auction things off a few items at a time before heading to the next bar. And typically as the night goes on our witches and wizards get more pliable.

    For instance, last year I spent nearly $100 picking up a limited edition print of a forumer's Syltherin logo design that featured some, we shall say, phallic symbolism. Oh, who am I kidding, it was a cock and balls, complete with short and curlies.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    Hahaha!

    Okay, thanks for that. I'll bring stuff to contribute to the auction.

    Any and all questions regarding registration can be sent through Eventbrite or you can PM with the relevant details (Email, mostly).

    Yes it does. I had to forego the waitlist as it wasn't registering people properly. If a ticket goes back into the pool it is immediately available for whomever gets to it first. It's not ideal but it's better than the waitlist allowing people to sign up for groups that were closed.

  • Atlus ParkerAtlus Parker Registered User regular
    Now that we're only 8 days away the big event you will notice the OP being populated with more information. Notably, information regarding the challenges and what they entail as well as what's in store for those going after this year's bonus button. If you have any questions regarding the challenges do ask now.

    As far as the bar routes are concerned, we are still waiting to hear back from a couple bars to really hammer out the full route. For simplicity's sake, we will be starting each house at the same bar as last year. That list is as follows and covers both OotP and DE:

    Gryffindor: Barca
    Slytherin: Grim's
    Ravenclaw: Unicorn
    Hufflepuff: Auto Battery

    Expect a full list by tomorrow night.

    For registration, did people get their confirmation bar code as soon as they registered? If this was supposed to be sent when you registered and you have not received it, either PM me here or email me through Eventbrite.
