Its like building their own storyline and fate. Quote: |

Its up to you. You can do whatever you like really. You can bring your old character back or make a new one
Im posting an example of what the maze thread looks like as we speak in the Rules & FAQ, so if you want to check on it in a few hours would be super! | |

You can have your character belong to any magical school 
EDIT note from canon-crazy Ern: While there aren't any girls in Durmstrang in the movie, there is no indication that Durmstrang is boys only in the books. Beauxbatons definitely has both genders in the book. Feel free to create a male or female character at ANY school.

The game doesn't need all members to be online at the same time to commence, you can post when you can get on and points won't be deducted

Its not necessary to have your font color match your character color as stated above that some members did for organizational purposes. But if you really wanted to, then go ahead and do that.
As for editing posts, we have no restrictions on them.. at all | |

I read the example thread and it seems like we can, but I thought it safer to ask.  | Good Question. Yes you can RP the end result of your obstacle | |

We've all posted except one person. I know it's the responsibility of the people participating to let their sponsor know if they can't attend, but this is still a bit ridiculous. We've been waiting for quite a while for this other person to post, but he/she hasn't yet.
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedules to answer our questions!

We are trying to make it fair grading for both ends (attendees & absences) we are giving initial waiting period that you will only experience at the beginning. Once it starts each contestant is literally on their own and at their own time convenience, i do apologize for any elongated waiting period but it will be commencing very soon for the ones that have not yet started

Just post in your thread when you can and your mod will get you started for your six obstacles.
Those of you who are having to wait, you shouldnt need to wait much longer. We have decided to carry on without the late comers and they can just join in when they get here. Sorry for any inconvience. | |

I am so happy to see such determination . We intend to be doing the winners slightly different since some of the threads are real dud. There will be three champions and 3 runner up champions | |

The Dungeons Forum is password protected, you cannot access it unless you finish the three obstacles in the grounds. Then, the referee will PM you the password for the next forum. Once you get the password and access the next forum you can create your thread and start posting there and so on | |

This post is also important as we will be awarding points for it.
After you make that post, you may post in the country thread (Romania), responding to the actual obstacle
Edit: I just saw your 'nevermind' after responding to your question xD, but I'm leaving the answer for anyone else who might need it. | |

I would love to try the Triwizard Tournament and feel I'm finally ready, but is there going to be a big announcement put up on the site when competition starts? Somehow I have always missed the posting and am really hoping to participate this time. Thanks! | |
