OCC Almost Grown

Hello all.

Im sure you've all heard alot about the future of this game, drifting amidst the waves of rumour...
Well, Im here to set the record straight, and sort the floaters from the truth.

Almost Grown was set up just over a year ago, on a day much like today, by a very bored, somewhat rp-ignorant me. I was shortly joined by our most fantabulous (and not at all ignorant) Co-Moderator- Kel, and an array of exciting, lovely players including Jessi and Kelly, who have stayed with us through the game's history.
The plan was to create a fun, friendly game which was canon based and didnt require blood samples to pass the application process (and also a place where I could play Ron!).

The game has seen some truly inspired plots, wonderful character development, and an honestly superb cast of players... but now my friends, the natural end of the game has come about.

After we read Half Blood Prince, we debated ways to include the new canon into the plot... It wouldnt have been impossible... But there was something not quite right about fiddling about with our character's backstory so far into a well established game.
We love Almost Grown, and as much as we cant bare to lay it to rest, messing around with it seemed somehow worse.

So, we debated and deliberated, discussed and deconstructed many ideas. In the end, we concluded that the best course of action was to create a new game, taking into account the new canon, from the ashes of Almost Grown. A game that reflects a history of dark times that Half Blood Prince implies are to come...

And so we present to you; From The Ashes. A new rp game brought to you by Kel and Xen. It is not Almost Grown with a new name, but it has a very similar premise. There is still an application process, though as valued members of Almost Grown, we encourage you to apply to this new game.

Thankyou for all your time and effort over the past year. This game has been an incredible pleasure to run, and I speak for both Kel and myself when I say we have enjoyed playing with you all.

so, i've been a shitty AG member lately (mostly cause it's so slow and my characters' love interests are AWOL, but also cause the plot is a bit too big for me at the moment with so few players)

but, that said, andrea and i are starting a new group over at greatest journal. i've spent the morning getting the foundation built. but feel free to check it out it's a 7th year trio game that will include the NEW CANON (***spoiler warning***, don't check it out unless you plan to be spoiled). i'm going to be playing draco, charlie, and perhaps pansy. we already have a hermione, bill, and penelope (bill and penelope are reserved for andrea). i've also reserved tonks for alex (let me know if you want me to reserve someone else too). and i've reserved snape incase eric is interested (cause when he's active, he's the best snape of all time).

so, yeah, just putting it out there.

Hey guys!

I think the time has come to consider the exsistance of Isobel Pranger in this RPG futile.  She's got no point and no place, so I would love it if she could be defriended and anything else that's required for a hasty exit.  I'll still have lostatoad and miss_emma_dobbs, though they're currently breaking while I figure out what comes next for them as characters and recovering from HBP as well as re-reading it.  I also, apparently, have to go camping again this weekend.  I promise, I'll be back soon!

Thanks bunches!

So. I take it you've all heard the news.

24 hours after we found out that London had won the Olympics and the city was in a state of elation, the news turned sour.

London had been attacked by terrorists.

7 explosions, 33 confirmed fatalities so far... All train lines are closed in the city, most of the buses have been cancelled, and mobile phone networks are jammed...

-

In light of this, I have a question for you all.

Do we include this in our game- as we have done with previous news stories... or is this one something we dont touch?

Id like a vote.



Thanks everyone.

okay, so mandy found harry,im ussuming that she contacted someone else...should i make a post? or does some one want to say the got an owl from her?

( Collapse )

Hey guys, is Neville supposed to be part of the OotP?

Thankyou both Kelly's for being amazing and keeping up the good work while I was away.

The news from Jessi is that Ginny will be on a mission until she gets back IRL from England.
So. Now we know, lets get down and dirty with the plotting!

Rock.

quick question for everyone, since i had harry going through serious trauma with voldie's return. and i like that mandy is there in the house. but, does anyone know if jessi has net access or if we should just plow forward as though gin isn't around?

Guys, I know we're in the midst of some AMAZING plotliness, but Im very sorry, I must away for a week.

Im going to the reknowned festival of the Glastonbury. Yes yes.

Rock-oh-ko.

i LOVE YOU ALL!!!


So much. *sob*

See you when I get back.
