Re: House Points

I quite like getting results, one at a time. It keeps the suspense going!
And I suppose the third task will be due soon as well!!!

Re: House Points

question for the Mods do the people who made it to the final round get more points, for example:

Winners get highest points
final round participants next highest
participants score points

or will it be everyone who participated but didn't win get the same amount and the winners get more?

Re: House Points

Alright, alright, I get it. Maybe I was being greedy or maybe I was just wishfully thinking...

Re: House Points

Congratulations to all the winners! Especially Dags! Everyone did such a great job, I was highly outclassed in all areas!

It did.

Yours was the only entry I had hunch about. And the hunch was utterly and totally wrong.

I loved the Catcus, by the way!

Re: House Points

Not to bump anyone, but I think the most staffers who actively work on the different contest challenges were sorted to Ravenclaw, but not to Gryffindor...

Let's better not give points to us. Kobolds and professors are out there.

I tried very hard not to highlight that point. You have given away Ravenclaw's secret now

That only makes sense, since the mods/staffers are brilliant...
(and hopefully not averse to a little bit of sucking up... )

What's a kobold?

I just went by what I was told by a staffer. I guess I was misinformed. I mean when I said we needed more Gryffindors I was told that three of them are mods working on the task. I wasn't told that there were others out there on other teams.

And some of us are brave; very, very brave.

Re: House Points

I wasn't sure, but I kind of thought that Ravenclaw had the most mods. Sure there may be a few Gryfenclaws in Gryfendor, but they would have to be Ravenclaw to be so brilliant

Re: House Points

The majority of the mods are Ravenclaw. But there are mods in every House.

I think I can help out there. Gertie used a German word. it usually translates as 'goblin' - but think about a funny mischievous creature rather than something more sinister.

Thanks! Sorry, I randomly didn't realize I mixed a German term in.

Re: House Points

Ah, OK, yes that would be something to look out for.

I guess I'm just proving why I wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw.

And IIRC, the name of the element Cobalt is derived from 'Kobold'.

Re: House Points

Please, will the House Points be added to the first post of this thread once they were calculated, or somewhere else? And will there be a post that tells each individual entrant how many points s/he is awarded? If so, where will it be? I keep searching the whole Through the Trap Door forum and its moderated subforum for this, and not finding it. I haven't missed it somewhere, have I?

I don't think they've posted it yet.
