Attention all CURRENT MoM Employees: [Sorting is now closed]
Placement is now closed. We plan to reopen placement sometime in the near future, though, so stay on the lookout for another notice!
Text Cut: Old Announcement
Attention all Current Ministry of Magic Employees!
The Ministry of Magic RPG has recently gone through a substantial amount of renovations in order to make the roleplaying game better and more exciting than ever! We are pleased and excited to announce that the next step in implementing those changes is ready to be launched! Sorting (called Placement in the MoM RPG) is now open for all current MoM employees! Oh my gosh YAY finally right? RIGHT? And that's not all - we come bearing GIFTS (sort of - play along, okay?)
First, the Ministry is switching usergroups. What in the world is a usergroup? A usergroup is what adminny-type people use to say "this group can post here" or "this group can no view here" (that is exactly how we talk, too). With the usergroup change, comes SHINY new usertitles. Behold:
Snazzy. You all get one of those. But you have to take the Placement for that to happen. Easy enough.
As part of the renovations, the placement quiz and the method in which we sort has been completely changed. We now have a system in place that let's us use your character's background, qualities, and skills to place them in a very specific job suited just for YOUR character! What this amounts to is that each of you will be assigned your own special and unique job within the Ministry of Magic! SO, all current MoM employees will need to re-submit a placement quiz, so that your character can be placed in his or her new position!
Recap: You get to take a fun new quiz (admit it, they're fun), you get a shiny new usertitle, AND your character gets to be all special with a one-of-kind job.
NOTE: This call to take the Placement quiz is ONLY for CURRENT Ministry employees. This means to take the Placement quiz, you must have been previously sorted into the Ministry and be apart of the Ministry employee usergroup. Current employees will have 2 weeks to take the Placement quiz. Any current employee that misses this cutoff will have to wait until the next Placement and no longer be able to post in the MoM. So don't delay! Current employees will be sorted out first, then the MoM Placement will be held for all NEW members/employees at a later time.
The placement quiz can be found here and will be open for the next two weeks! Please read the new and revised MoM RPG Rules/FAQ before completing the new quiz. Lots of things have changed and/or been revised! Please remember that we are implementing a brand new placement system for the very first time, and this system isn't just a simple 'scanning of the application'. We'll go through each application and consider everything about your character before officially placing him or her into a position. It's possible that it may take more than the normal amount of time to process applications and contact you with your new position. Please be patient and know that you'll get your results as quickly as possible!
So head on over to the new and revised Placement Quiz and get sorted so that you can report to level right ah--...
*AHEM*
We interrupt this regularly-scheduled Site Notice to inform you that the VERY BUSY and VERY IMPORTANT Lord Berty Borr has declared TODAY a holiday for all Ministry of Magic employees. In celebration of his new role as Junior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, a party in his honor will be held today in the middle of Diagon Alley. All Ministry of Magic employees are welcome and encouraged to come to the party immediately after taking the new Placement Quiz!
WE REPEAT! This has been an interruption of a regularly-scheduled site notice to inform you that the Ministry of Magic is now CLOSED due to National Lord Berty Borr Day! Please report to the party right after completing your Placement Quiz!
OOC: The Ministry of Magic RPG is actually closed (so you won't be able to access any of the forums at the moment). OOC, the party will be open for longer than just a day, so feel free to join in at any moment! Just remember to take your Placement Quiz first!
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
*blinks a couple of times*
this is real......right?
ZOMG yesh! it is!!
I have a question though, when i click on the quiz link i get this: "That questionnaire is not available to you." does that mean i can't re-submit a replacement quiz?

We regret to inform you that Lord Borr has expelled a nasty-smelling gas on the quiz, and it's currently recuperating from being completely knocked out. Try again in a few minutes, and you should be able to take it.

The "current" part of the notice refers to the OOC you, so if YOU are currently in the Ministry usergroup, you can take the quiz as whatever character you wish to play.

So does the fact I don't remember what exam scores (i.e. NEWTs, etc.) I had for Dorian the first time he got placed cause any issues (as I'm staying with him as my Ministry character)?

Oooh how cool. I wish I kept my Division Head position from way back when.
Since I technically "quit" my position a few months ago, obviously I don't get to do this. However, will the sorting be open for everyone else after the two week placement quiz?

It doesn't have to match up. Just assign him some scores, plug them in to the app, and we'll work with them.

We are most definitely opening placement for those not in Ministry groups in the very near future.
If you were apart of the Ministry before - as in, part of the usergroup and had posting abilities - then you can take the quiz. You're considered "CURRENT" if you are part of that usergroup. NOT CURRENT would be members that have NEVER had access to the Ministry of Magic. We'll get them in the next round.
...if that makes sense.

I wish I kept my Div. Head post! This seems so fun! I can't wait to take the quiz for those currently not in Ministry usergroups XD
I do believe that you are still allowed to take the Quiz though. This sorting is for ANYONE who has already RPd in the ministery before. That's my understanding of it. Even if you weren't RPing at this moment, you are still allowed to take it!
