After a fantastic brainstorming session with MJ, I'm presenting a suggestion for a summer game played between Hogwarts students in/around Hogsmeade (probably Magical London, too, if you're based there in the summer, it might be hard anywhere else). Like in HvZ, all players barring a select few start out as alive, aka a Wizard or Witch, and wear an enchanted-white strip of cloth that can be worn as an armband/headband/etc to signify their status to other players.

When you're hit by a spell (Finite/general counter-spell) from an Inferi, you are dead, and your status band turns black.

There will be some safe places indoors, probably some safe days of the week, and technically students shouldn't be using their wands outside of school. So the game is more on the down-low and done in a sneaky fashion. (Which, naturally, is why some of the players may decide to make it flashy and loud as suits their personalities.)

Looking for interest and writers who'd want their Hogwarts (or similarly aged dropouts who can 'acquire' the right cloth band to participate) student to play WvI during the summer. And you're very welcome to want to start out as the Inferi, too, or be one by the time you first write your character playing.
I love this and volunteer to play<3
I have no students however if you need a played chaperone/supervisor I’m happy to reactivate !
driveby to say is going to take this more seriously than he has ever taken anything IN HIS LIFE
To clarify, this is meant to be an under the radar, don't let any of the adults find out game? That'll inform me of which of mine would play and which won't xD

Yes. If you're the one to tell the adults, eternal* shame fall upon you!

I'm sure a few of the savvier, or cooler adults will figure it out. On that note, please do bring your matron out to play for this. She's definitely straddling the line of 'cool adults' who would probably know about it and help keep it safe/under wraps.

*at least until the next school gossip cycle overrides that, give it a month or two
probably has a kid and/or grand kid involved - and is probably aware but pretending he isn't as long as no one gets into too much trouble.
is 100% in. How are we getting around that pesky Ministry tracking underage magic problem?

It's been established that they only really get involved when underage magic happens in non-magical areas. Otherwise it is on the parents/guardians to police this. Hence the game only happening in Hogsmeade and Magical London.
Mwaha! Game on!
Alright, I have posted an Event Post to detail all the information for the game. And I'm sending a few thread prompts to the Suggestionizer, taking hints from past events here.Suggestionizer threads are now up! Feel free to start your own already.

And to get us started, I'm going to christen and as starting Inferi, whose writers already expressed interest in that. Everyone else, get hit or stay alive (or choose to be an Inferi anyway, it's all good fun)!

I'm going to keep a running tally of who is 'dead' and alive here, nudge me here if I didn't catch your participating character and thread:

Dead - Inferi


  • (in progress)
  • (in progress)

Alive - Witches & Wizards







Here are a few thread prompts to get you started:
Can't Finish What You Started - a WvI incident in Padmore Park
An Attempt to Tip the Scales - a WvI incident on High Street
Children of the Moon - a WvI incident on the streets of Hogsmeade
Late but if you don't mind adding Rowan to the list?
While Ty would definitely be a "cool adult" about it all, he is not playing. xD

, & of mine will be playing!
Victoria here is a non-player, due to primarily living outside of London and Hogsmeade. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't visit and get mistaken for a player, as seen HERE! Open to 1-2 active players! :D
Summer's quickly ending and there's not much more time to catch all the wizards! Or to be caught!

There are a few pending threads (so I'll let those players decide if their characters are turning or surviving them), but still a couple open ones: with Charley and with Tao.

If you wanted your character to be Inferi to play that side at this point, feel free to have it happen before a thread begins. There's still a few live players roaming around free that can be encountered!
