[quote=@DeadBeatWalking]Two questions for the group so far.
• Everyone in the same house, or, a group of four, each from a different house?
• All seven years, or would you prefer to skip to year two after a sorting hat ceremony? Keep in mind, the starting age is 11-12.[/quote]
To respond in order:

1. I'm fine either ways, though if everyone is going to be in the same house it would be fun to explore the other 3 since Gryffindor had already been done extensively in canon.

2. I'd say all 7 years - since this is an Advanced RP and I'm all for doing some deep character development for this.

[quote=@Fillet]I do request the players refrain from using colours in their dialogue though, if possible. It hurts my soul to read multicoloured texts. :([/quote]
I'm fine with or without using colors for dialogues - my more pressing concern is that people use proper paragraphing (aka the enter button on your keyboard). Don't bunch things together into a wall of text dump just to try making your posts look beefy but hard for others to understand. Also, refrain from using over-fanciful formatting. Keep in simple and consistent with everyone. :)
