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!
So does this mean that the old div heads will find out their new positions soon???
Likely you'll hear at the same time as everyone else, as it takes effect at the same time, but I suspect you'll hear from your new dept head fairly soon from what I've seen so far.
And yeah, Mel thats fine. Technically special ops was part of the MoM... hmm. maybe I should take the quiz too

That's not a stupid question at all. Any and all questions are welcome!
I just double-checked, and you are in the MoM usergroup, so you're free to take the quiz. If you've ever been sorted into the MoM before, though, you should still be in the usergroup.
Shanners - I'm at work right now, but I'll look more into your situation when I get home. However, as far as I know of, no one else is having the same issue, so I'm wondering if it isn't something with your browser or connection. I'll look more into it when I get home, though.

Your application went through.
It's possible that getting results may take a bit longer than usual, because we're trying out a brand new system for the very first time. Thanks, everyone, for being so patient as we get everyone placed into their department!

The Daily Prophet is separate from the Ministry ... as in two different usergroups. And you're checked off as being in the Ministry Employee usergroup, so I'd say if you wanted to then you could be placed as a Ministry Employee in addition to keeping your DP character .
If I'm mistaken, then someone please correct me, but from what I can tell, you're fine to do both
